Third person's POVVladimir's parents are busy in a city far away from the werewolves. They know they need to build an army before attacking the werewolves. Ivan and Olga are angry at Vladimir for putting them asleep for decades. They came to America, hitching a hike on Vladimir's plane. They could not harm the gypsy on the plane, as she was in the sun. And at night, she was too ill for them to drink her blood. They also did not want Vladimir's men to see them. They stayed quietly in their little corner in the plane where the sun didn't reach. Of course, they had help escaping Vladimir. Helga, their oldest daughter, helped them to escape. She always loved her parents. They had heard Vladimir talking about a sunlight spell. When Halca got the tattoo, her already evil heart got even worse. Her youngest brother, Michael, had nothing to do with it, and he still enjoyed his life in Europe. However, Helga waits for Vladimir to leave so that she can leave for America and join her parents in
Ivan's POVWe waited all night, but our daughter did not come home. I wonder what is going on and where Helga is. I do not know if she is in trouble or if she ran away. Did she hear us speak about her? I hope not. Because if she runs away to her brother, it will mean a lot of trouble for us. We cannot let her tell Vladimir where we are. Since there are only dark creatures in Las Vegas, we can easily control most of them. There are a few rogues around here, but they are not giving us any trouble because they do not care if we are taking over and killing humans. They lost their human side long ago. Only the wolf is left. The wolves do not care about the humans because they do not have a human side. I use them as my bouncers. All they want is meat to eat and a couple of drinks. Not that they can get drunk, but at least it relaxes them. The casino machine and tables are still in the building I am buying, so we are cleaning up here while we wait for Helga. Since I have been invited insid
Helga's POVI had the feeling that my parents did not trust me. That is why I am so glad I got the sunlight tattoo spell. I felt my parents would try to kill me because they did not trust me. They thought I would return to Vladimir, but they made a big mistake if they believed I was returning to him. Vladimir likes to control everybody's lives, and I do not want that he is trying to control mine. He has retained me for so long, and I was too afraid to stand up to him because he had the stakes that could put us to sleep for decades. I saw what he did to my parents. Vladimir has no heart. He keeps turning off his feelings, and I know it is because he feels guilty about everything he has done in his past. Vladimir has never come to terms with the fact that he is a vampire and is supposed to be evil. I do not care what people think about me. All I care about is what I feel, and I feel I am an evil creature that needs to feed off humans. I am not there to protect him. I am there to eat the
Third Person's POVIvan and Olga walk out into the sunlight for the first time in decades. They have never felt so free in their lives. The darkness cannot hold them anymore. They have found a way around the curse. They look at Helga, who is smiling and walking with them. Ivan and Olga realize that they would have never done it without Helga. Helga has proven her loyalty toward them. They believe that she is the only child that I have that will forever be by their side. Michael and Vladimir are a disappointment to do them. Their two sons do not want to be near their parents, and Vladimir even stakes them to sleep for a long time. Ivan and Olga do not realize it is their fault that their sons do not want anything to do with them. They have never been good parents. Therefore, we punished the boy severely when they thought they had done something wrong.Ivan always thought he made a man out of his boys when he punished them. Olga was never a mother to them, as she could care less about w
Tamara's POVWe are preparing for the war. We know that we cannot prevent war from happening. We know that it will have to happen soon that we can put the two evil vampires and their daughter to sleep. We cannot let this drag on forever. The longer we wait, the stronger the vampires become in the City of Sin. I know whatever they are doing inside there cannot be good. I wonder where they are keeping the humans. I know that we will have to find the humans before we can attack the vampires to release them into society again before they realize what is happening to them. We have to keep the secrets of supernatural creatures from humans. "We are ready to fight but must save the humans first. We need to get the spy in there and find out where they are hiding the humans. We will also have to find a way to release the humans without them realizing what is happening. I am sure that your parents will not be glad if their cattle are released. I know they only think of humans as creatures they
Dean's POVWe must rescue the humans before we can continue with any other plans to attack the city. We are slowly but surely moving into the area. There are pack houses that are standing. So we are just using one as our base from where we will work. Our priority is to get the humans out of the city. I know it will not be easy, but what can we do? We will have to get plans for the city, but where do we get them? We do not know the city well enough to go in and rescue the humans without the vampires knowing. We need somebody that knows the city very well to help us. We know we cannot trust any evil creatures living in the city. "My vampires have scouted the city, and they know the city by now. They will meet us here in a few hours. They are just waiting for everybody to get busy with their nightly routine. My parents like going out at night, gambling, and drinking a few blood drinks. Helga likes to have men around at night. Although they can walk during the day, I think it is just the
Tamara's POVI do not know if I can trust the werewolves. We have no choice. However, we will have to go into that tunnels. We will have to trust them to lead us to the humans. The humans are locked up in cages. I can not think of a more horrible experience in my life. I need to get to the humans, even if I have to trust people I do not know. I know Dean is not trusting them as well. What can we do? We have to trust him because we have no other choice. If we do not trust them today, where will we get help to get the humans out of that cages? I want everybody to know that I am here to help them. Dean and I have become closer. It does not mean that I love him or care about him. Although I do, I don't want him to know. He will have to fight for me. After all, this is done, I will decide what happens to us. Will I still run from my mate? I do not know. I know I love Dean, but I do not know if I am ready to be his mate.Anyway, it has nothing to do with what is happening right now. We have
Third Person's POVEverybody sits around the table in the little town where they keep the humans. They are all sitting in the bar that is in the mine town. The humans are compelled to stay in the town and not move around in the woods near the city. One even knows what lurks in the woods. If only people realized what they live among, they would not be walking in the woods. Many creatures are not friendly, especially rogue wolves and some vampires. They are discussing what they will do when they attack the city of Sin. Vladimir looks around him and sees that everybody has accepted him for who he is. For the first time in a long time, he feels at home. The creatures sitting around him make him feel like they are family. They do not care about his past and do not judge him. He is surprised that they do believe and trust him so much. "What do you think, Vladimir? You know your parents the best you know how they will protect the city," Dean asks me. Vladimir is surprised they even asked my
Dean's POVI can see that Jonathan White is now really worried. He had seen what had happened to his friend when he tried to fight Tamara. He must know now that we are indeed the first Alphas. I know that he is not willing to fight me anymore, but he cannot back down now because he was the one that challenged me. I will not allow him to back down. I am going to fight him. I am sick and tired of people thinking they are better than others. I want him to understand that there is no such thing as someone being better because of their background or the money they have. Jonathan White wants to talk to me, and I can see his doubts. I do not care what he thinks, and I do not care what he believes. But today, we are going to fight. I know that I can beat him without any problems. "Alpha Dean, I am very sorry about what I have done. My Pack is not as strong as yours, and I am not as strong as you are. I know that I have promised you that I will fight you, but I cannot. Please spare me and my
Tamara's POV"Your father is here. I'm ready for this fight, please, honey. Believe me. I can handle this. I will make this fight as quick as possible. I will not put your child in too much danger. I promise you I will walk out of this fight victorious. Our baby and I will be fine. I can promise you that I will not put his life in danger. He is already in my heart," I say as we walk outside to meet his father. Jonathan White is with him, and I can see that both of them are ready to fight us. "Our enemies have arrived and are ready to fight us. I know we will be fighting both of them, but if you need my help, do not hesitate to ask for my help," Dean says."I will not hesitate to ask your help, especially if our child is in danger. How old baby comes first, and I promise you I will not do anything to harm it. Now, Honey, get ready. We are going to fight. We are going to show these snobs. Who is the boss? I know they think they are better than us, but they can be better than us. We are
Tamara's POVI am up a little the following morning. I want to be ready for my fight with Mike Smith. I know that Alpha Jonathan White has challenged Dean. We both know how that is going to end. Both Mike Smith and Jonathan White will die today. We are ready for our fight, but I like to prepare. And that is why I am up early. I don't want to prepare physically but mentally as well. I know that I can do this. I know I can beat him, but I want to pray to Moon Goddess to help me today. I know you trust me because she gave me all this power I have as a first alpha. She would not have made me a first alpha if she did not believe in me. I have to show her I am proud of what you made me. Today I'm not fighting for my honor. I am fighting for the glory of the Moon Goddess."Are you ready to fight today, my love?" Dean asks from behind me."I have never been as ready for a fight as I am today. I am sorry, I will have to kill your father. I do not want to do that, but I believe what he has done
Dean's POVI am furious at my father for daring to challenge my mate. Why does he not challenge me? Does he think he can be the woman? I know Tamara has already accepted the challenge, but I am not happy about it. I do not believe that my father should have challenged Tamara. He should have challenged me. Although Tamara and I are the alphas of the Red River Pack, it doesn't feel right for a man to challenge a woman. What kind of person is my father? He is a coward who will only challenge women and think he can win them."Do not make us lose more respect for you, Mike. Why would you challenge Tamara, who is a woman? It would be best to reconsider your actions because we can no longer stand behind you. We had respect for you because you were our alpha once. But a man challenges a woman because he thinks he can win her in a fight. Does not deserve any of our respect," One of the elders says. I can see that nobody has respect for my father, and I cannot blame them. I do not have respect
Mike's POV Drake betrayed me. And now all my spies are gone from the Pack, and I do not know what is happening there. Only I can get my hands on him. I will kill him myself. How dare he? He took my money and gave it to that stupid woman, now the Luna of the Red River Pack. I am sure I can get somebody to kill her, but I do not know who and where I will find somebody willing to fight her because I am desperate to get rid of her. She is the reason that the Pack and my son all turned against me. "So Drake turned against you. What are you going to do now? Do you think I should still sponsor you? I do not want war against my Pack and the Red River Pack. You have promised me that my daughter will become your son's mate. However, I cannot see that happening because you are not a man of your word. I am not willing to risk my Pack. I will go to Dean and talk to him about what you have done because I will not be a part of this and will turn my back on you and your wife. My daughter can get a
Tamara's POVI know Dean feels guilty because of what his father did. I wish I could tell him I do not hold it against him and that he would believe me. I know we must take care of his father and friends. They are a bunch of snobs thinking that they are better than everybody else. And we cannot allow that to happen in this Pack again. They can go to another pack if they do not want me as their Luna. I am not going to feel guilty for who I am. My parents were murdered, and that is why I am an orphan. It was not my fault that they were murdered. It was Mike Smith's fault. I am still sitting with Dean holding him."I wish you would stop blaming yourself, but I can hear the men coming with the traitors anyway. Let's take care of them first, and then we decide what we will do about your father. I want to stay close to you instead of close to Drake. I think that the two of us can decide what we will do about your father when we get to that problem. I want you to know I love you and do not b
Dean's POV After hearing what Drake had to tell me, I feel that my father has betrayed all of us our whole lives. I cannot believe that he is this wicked. How could he kill his best friend and then pretend his brother did it? I wondered how much he paid those rogues to kill Borris and Bianca. Borris was more of a father to me than he was. It was the one that protected me against Mike. I cannot think of Mike as my father anymore. I am not hurt. I am pissed off. My whole life, I have tried to impress Mike. I tried to be the son he wanted me to be. Now I find out that he has feet of clay. I never realized what a snob my father was. He thinks he's better than everybody else, and nobody can come near his son because he is supposed to be like him. I cannot believe I tried to please him my whole life, but then again, I was young and the boy without a wolf that my father beat into submission. He made me believe I was better than everybody else and that the weaker wolves should leave our Pack
Drake's POVI watch Mike as he walks out of the bar. The stupid man thinks I am going to fight against a First Alpha. He just gave me a lot of money to do nothing because I would not fight Tamara Smith. He can call her Tamara Brown, but we all know she is the Luna of Dean Smith. We all know we cannot mess with her without getting into trouble with Dean. Am I going to betray him? Of course, I will betray him because I won't give him his money back and will not allow his wealthy friends to come after me and my friends. Basically, I have two options. I have to run from this area, which I'm not planning to do, or I can go to Dean and Tamara and tell them what Mike is planning. I look at my mates at the other end of the bar. I called him to come over. Chelsea is the first one to come over to me. I know it is because she is in love with me. Vanessa sharmains. Scott and Donovan follow. "What's up, boss?" Scott is the first one to ask."What do you think about killing Tamara Smith?" I ask."
Mike's POVI have to go and see some of my rogue friends. I need to talk to them because I want them to help me eliminate Tamara. I know the rogues do not like the Red River Pack. I know they do not want them to be around, and they do not want a Luna for the Red River Pack. I will have to make a plan. I will have to get the Tamara away from the Pack and in the claws of the rogues. I know the ropes will have to have a beautiful little girl like her in their grip. I do not care what they do to her as long as she never comes near my son and the Red River Pack again. It is her fault that my son wants nothing to do with me. However, I first have to go and see the rogues. The ones that killed Tamara's parents are now dead. But I know a few others, and I will go and see them and ask them if they are willing to work with me again. Of course, they will get paid as much as last time. I hope that I will believe me and not think that I will put them in a lot of trouble by telling them to kill he
