Blake’s POV

She looked horrified as I removed the blade from his chest. She should recognise the blade, but I was unsure.

It had been in her bedroom when I went snooping. Not in the room she shared with Logan, but the one that had been designated to her. The blade was hidden under the bed. She might not have even known it was there. The blades of the Blood Pack seemed to have a life of their own.

“You killed him! You. Actually killed him.”

“He needed to die. The shit he was causing. That’s not a life for you.”

“Huh?”

“You cannot be associated with him, Lana.”

“You have just started a war.” Her brown eyes are wide as she looks between me and the disintegrating vampire. "You said that if a wolf killed a vampire, it would start a war. Why would you do that?"

“The war is coming either way.”

Her jaw drops open. She shakes her head a little. Her eyes finally resting on the blade that I had killed Hallen with.

“Is that mine?”

“Yes, it is the blade that belongs to you. A pretty thing for a p

    Lana’s POVThere was no point anymore. My life was falling to pieces. I had a man standing in front of me that didn’t give a shit. So much so that he had set me up. I had a mate that was in a constant battle with his feelings over me. I had been played my entire life by the very person I was closest too. I was done.I call my wolf forward, letting her take over. I feel the shift in my body as my bones start to crack. It would be an easy death, painful, but simple. It would be no ones fault.“Lana, stop! Don’t do this.” Blake calls out to me.I already felt weak, weaker than usual as my wolf forced herself forward.“Lana, you can’t do this.”Blake grabs hold of my shoulders as my bones continue to crack. It was almost as painful as my first time. Almost like my body knew it would be the last time.My clothes start to split at the seams as my body is thrown to the ground.“Lana. You have to stop this.” I could see the fear in his grey eyes.“This is what you want!”“I was wrong. Now sto

    Logan’s POVBlake had sent word two days ago. Letting me know that Lana was safe. The letter also announced that he would have her back to me as soon as he could. I would be grateful when this shit with Hallen was over.“Are you even listening to me?” Freya prods my arm, shaking out her blonde curls. “What’s so important that you can’t even listen to me.”Her eyes fall to the letter in my hand.“Must be important!” she tries to peer over my shoulder, but I screw the letter up before she has a chance to see anything. Something just felt off about his words and yet, I knew he would do everything to get Lana back to me.“It doesn’t matter. Now what did you drag me out here for?” We were stood in the middle of the forest, in a small clearing.“It does matter, but you clearly don’t want to talk about it, so….”She throws my bracelet to the ground between us.“You have come up with a way to destroy it?” She had been talking about her ideas over the last couple of days.“I think so, but I wa

    Lana’s POVBlake leaves me in the house. Shutting me away in another of the many rooms. He tells me to be quiet and that I wouldn’t have any problems.When I questioned him, he glared at me. The glare was cold, it had me backing up as he swiftly left.Trying the door was useless. It didn’t budge. “Sit tight, I won’t be long!” He links me, which only infuriates me further.“How…” But he had already cut me off, blocking me from speaking to him.Logan was still too far away for me to link. I just needed a connection with someone.I had no idea how long I had been away from Logan, and right now I was willing to do anything to get back to him. Anything!I could see something catching the sunlight. It was almost like it was hidden in plain sight. Moving, I realise what it is. My blade, the very one that Blake had decided to start a war with. How was it here? I thought Blake had taken it with him?In the reflection of the metal, I could just about make out the hideous mark that Blake had le

    Logan’s POVBlake makes his excuses fairly quickly and disappears. From the window, I watched him go back into the trees, in the exact spot he had appeared..Something was off with him, I watched the colour drain from his face before he took off. If anyone had linked him, he hid it well.“I told you that you shouldn’t trust him.” Freya leans against the office door, her arms folded across her chest.“You’re right. I think I need to stop trusting anyone.”“Are you talking about me?”“It seems like everyone is keeping secrets from me.”She stares at me with her bright blue eyes. “I have told you everything that I know. If you need to, just look. I haven’t got anything to hide anymore.”I eye her up, people didn’t normally offer such a thing. I had always done it by force except for one. I had never been able to get into Blake’s mind. Not even as a child. I was pretty sure it was to do with this death thing that surrounds him.“Where do you want me?” Freya smiles at me, was she trying to

    Blake’s POVWhen Leo links me, I already knew that something was wrong. I make my excuses with Logan and walk swiftly across the pack grounds. The moment I am out of sight, hidden by trees. I strip off, shifting and racing towards my new home. Something was wrong with Lana. I could feel it in my bones.Crashing in through the front door. Leo and Calvin were arguing. Something about who should be the one to tell me.“Where is she?” I demand through mind link and they both stare at me, like they were surprised to see me. I realised that I was still in wolf form and neither of them had seen my large grey wolf. It was rare that I shifted these days. Lana had already seen me, but that was because I had to make sure she survived.Transforming back, they look relieved when they see it's me. Though now I am more concerned that they froze rather than attacked when a strange wolf appeared in the new packhouse.“Where is she?” I ask again and Leo points to an open door. “She is out cold.”“You?

    Lana’s POV “He said that my blade did this.” I moan at Calvin who just nods his head. “He said that I’m going to die because of this.” Again, Calvin just nods his head at me, only irritating me further. “Do you believe that or is he telling me a lie?” “I haven’t ever known of Blake lying.” “What is that supposed to mean?” I throw myself down on to the bed the moment Calvin opens the door but he just hovers in the room. Like he didn't know what to do with himself. “For someone that seems to have things straight, you certainly don’t seem to be able to read between the lines.” He scratches his messy chocolate curls and avoids making eye contact with me. "Pretty much makes sense why you don't really know much about your own kind." "What?" “Alpha Blake is pretty much an open book. You always get your answers, it just might be that you don’t want to hear it.” His dark eyes shine brightly and his response had me running previous conversations with Blake through my mind. “Why did he m

    Logan’s POVI had already built a small army, preparing them for what we might face. They had known that something was wrong, they just couldn’t bring themselves to ask. I wasn’t always an easy going Alpha, I liked to keep my guard when it came to my private life.We were already making a move when I felt the searing pain radiate out from the mark on my chest. I may not be able to link her but my mark could tell me everything that I needed to know about if she was safe or not. She was in danger.Freya was keeping me informed from her hde out. But she hadn’t seen Lana either. It was like she was being kept locked up and I hated it. My problem wasn’t just Blake anymore, he had started something that there was no coming back from. A war with the vampires and either way there was going to be a lot of deaths. Deaths that could have been prevented.The second time the pain fired out along my chest, it brought me to my knees.

His purple eyes were brighter than I had ever seen them.“Her dagger?” He growls “How the fuck did she get that?”“You know about it?”“Of course I fucking know. Those daggers are linked to my family. Though the last one that I saw apart from Lana's was my mothers.”“But you never had one. You always said as a kid that you wanted one.”“I never needed one! I am more powerful than a blade.” His nostrils were flaring now“Then shut up and let me help our mate.” I wave my arm at him“What did you say?” His voice was dropping lower and lower.“That’s what she is now. OURS! Because I had to mark her just to fucking save her. Now wind your neck in because right now, the only thing that is helping her is my blood.”His fist meets the wall. The plaster cracks and pieces drop away from the wall. Lana stirs but doesn’t open her eyes.“Men! I need you to focus. This girl isn’t going to get better if you two are at log

  • Hunting the Alpha   Epilogue.

    One year laterLana’s POVI never heard from Blake after that day. It was impossible for him to link me after I broke the bond between us. But it didn’t stop his wolves trying to locate me.For the first six months, it even made the news. That there was a new Alpha of Alpha’s. They gave my name and description, promising a reward if I was returned to them. But as time went on, my appearance on the news became less and less. The humans were losing interest. I was never spotted. I had had my hair permanently relaxed so I didn’t have to deal with the curls. I wore shades when it was sunny or brown contacts when the weather was rubbish. If I went out, I never went out alone. I was always with Dillon. A human.It had taken a couple of months before we officially became a couple. Though that didn’t stop us fooling around before then. Not once did I feel pressured with him. Not once did I feel like he was hiding something. He never hesitated to answer a question. He was different, he wasn’t

    Lana’s POV“I already know that.”“No you don’t. Not entirely.”Switching off the car engine. I turn to look at him properly. “What do you mean?”“Blake controls what he wants to control.”“I don’t follow.”“You really are naive, Lana. They told me that you were hard to convince. That you didn’t understand pack life. But you really can’t see what is right in front of you.” He pulls open the jeeps door, grabbing my hand, he places it on his chest. Just like Blake, he had no heartbeat.“How?” I mutter“We are all the same. Anyone that is under Blakes leadership ends up like us.”“Why would you follow him?” “Because it’s always too late. By the time we realise, there is no turning back.”“I don’t get it?”“Holy shit, Lana.” He shakes his head at me. “Are you just not willing to see it, is that it?”“See what? Blake said he made a deal.”“And you didn’t think to question it. He is the reason you killed Logan. He is the reason you chose him. He is the reason for everything.”“Why?”“Becau

    Lana’s POVLogan leans into me, gasping for breath. The Blade slips further into his heart. I couldn’t believe that I had done it. That I was the one to kill him. That I was the one to finally stop him.Xavier had told Blake that I was in the back of the car. Blake had talked me through the plan. He made it clear that I could not speak back to him. That if I were, it would give me away. That Logan would know.He told me that they were tracking me, that I would have to take a chance and throw myself from the car. I did exactly what I was told. The moment my feet hit the ground, I run into the forest. Logan had been steps behind me. If he had lunged forward, he probably would have got me. But Blake somehow pulls me away. Lifting my feet off the ground as he placed a hand over my mouth. He wasn’t alone. I could just make out Xavier and Abby hiding among the trees. Abby's eyes were looking in the direction I had just come from. Her lips moving.As Blake hands me the dagger. I felt the sa

    Logan’s POVShe had given herself to him. I could smell his stench all over her as I held her close. But she would be mine again soon enough. She doesn’t scream, she doesn’t fight me, even when I pin her against the door. She doesn’t even try to link Blake. In fact she does everything that I ask. Pulling her out of the window, I drop us to the ground. Checking that we were entirely alone before heading into the forest.Blakes men were stupid. They were easy enough to get past undetected. It helped that Lana followed me like a sheep. That she did everything I asked.Pushing her into the back seats of my hidden jeep, she still remains quiet. There was no heavy breathing, there weren’t even any tears. She looks back over her shoulder as I drive away from the new pack that Blake had created.“Don’t you dare link him.” I warn her. If she had already done so, there would be no chance that I would get out of the pack grounds alive.Her head moves up and down. Her brown eyes wide as they lo

    Lana’s POVHe was so angry. The grey of his eyes deepened as he snapped at me, pointing to the door. He must have seen the vision too. It was the only answer as to why he was so angry.“I don’t want to see Freya. I want to know what the vision means. I know you saw it too.”“It’s you.” He takes a step back. “It was never Logan. It was always you.”“I don’t know what you mean!” I did though. He had seen it as clearly as I had. The dead bodies piled up underneath me. The blood that was streaked across my face. How he and Logan were both looking up to me.“You know exactly what I mean Lana. Don’t try and play the fool now.”“I’m not… I…” I had no idea what to say and sit myself back down in his office chair. “I would never.”“Wouldn’t you? It’s not like you are sin free is it? You have killed wolves in your bid to find him. Your aim was to stop him.”“I didn’t, that was Abby. I was just… just there. I don’t want to do that. That isn’t me.”He lets out a sigh and shakes his head at me. “I

    Blake’s POVIt was like we had never been apart. Everything came flooding back. Every inch of her body was just as I remembered.Hurrying up the stairs, I run into Freya. She frowns and then asks if I had seen Lana. She didn't normally speak to me unless Calvin or Lana were around.“Yes, I’m just retrieving some clothes for her.”Her frown deepens until her brows suddenly shoot upwards, a big smile on her face. “Could you just tell Lana that I need to speak to her, like urgently.”“Is there a problem?”“Not exactly. Maybe, I guess. Nothing to do with Logan or anything thats happening.”She spins around and I catch the extra scent on her. She was pregnant.“You want me to tell Lana that you’re pregnant?”She turns back to me. Her eyes wide. “How did you know?”“I’m not stupid, your scent has altered to accommodate the hormones.”“I know you don’t like me Alpha Blake, this wasn’t supposed to happen. Not now, not ever.”“Have you told Calvin?”She shakes her head at me.“Then maybe start

    Lana’s POV“Logan is recreating the Blood Pack.” I mutter, casting my eyes in Blakes direction.“I warned you, Lana. I warned you about this shit. You should have stuck with the plan.”“The witch finally says something that I can agree with.” Blake sits on a bench against the furthest wall.I pull the collar of my tshirt down, “Can you get rid of this?”“It’s a mate bond, only rejection can.”“It’s not a true bond.”She gazes at me with her brown eyes, “He never confirmed it?”“No.”“He finally fucked up.” She mutters to herself. A smile spread across her face. “Lana, he screwed up.”“What do you mean, witch?” Blake spits on the ground. Clenching his teeth together.“That mark. He was supposed to confirm it. Kendra put it on you when she saw his mark. She used his blood to form a bond between you. Replicating his mark.”“Kendra? How do you know this?”I had had the mark for as long as I could remember.“Before she figured out the danger of what Logan could do. She thought connecting y

    Lana’s POVThere were talks every day. Some that I was shielded from, others where they encouraged me to talk. But I never had anything to say. Other than feeling like my head was going to explode.Blake was growing more and more pissed off when no one could come up with a plan. What Blake wanted to do was use me. I had agreed to it. But so many of the pack hated the idea. They thought that I would turn on them, or that Logan would use me to get exactly what he wanted.It didn’t help that Logan continued to call to me. He seemed to think that he could talk to me whenever he wanted. It was impossible for me to block him. He would never ask me how I was. It was always questioning me about Blakes plans. When I didn’t answer, he would grow mad and cut me off. And for a moment, I would find relief. He was choosing the Blood Pack over me.I had stopped trying to fight it or trying to hide it. Blake would always know. He had already said that Logan was trying to break me down. I finally beli

    Blake’s POVFive days had passed and there had been no sign of him. It was like he had fallen off the Earth. I sent people out everyday. But there wasn’t even a single piece of evidence that suggested he had returned home or that he had come anywhere near my pack.Lana wasn’t herself either. She would wander the house. Often deep in thought. I tried to talk to her but it was like talking to a brick wall. Anything that I said just didn’t sink in. Sometimes I would find her in a corner, muttering to Freya. They would stop talking the moment they saw me.I didn’t like the witch being here, but I had very little choice in the matter. Calvin had already marked the witch. If I threw her out, then I would have problems with my brother and Lana. It was a shitty scenario that I was trying my hardest to ignore. Aiming to focus on the bigger problem of Logan.More and more of my pack from Europe turned up everyday. New homes were constantly being built on the land. It was expanding quickly, but
