#Chapter 55 Fractured Shadows
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The aftermath of the vampire attack left us shaken. We traveled home as one, tightly grouped together. My mates, each having a hand on me in some way, reassuring themselves that I was alright.
Although the attacks had been frequent and random, this attack had definitely been different. There were more vampires, and they seemed to have had a singular focus. They wanted to get to me. As we walked, we discussed their focus.
“What could they want with Beryl?” Cheney spoke softly, but we all could hear him perfectly. “Were they trying to take her or just hurt her?”
“It seemed as though they wanted to take her, they never put a damaging hand on her, did they?” Brian mused, seemingly to himself.
As we walked, we talked, but, Lily, who had valiantly fought by my side, suddenly became faint and stumbled.
“It’s nothing, I’m fine. I’m just tired. It’s been a hell of a day.”

They became our backbone, and our hearts. They became indispensable to us as a family and as a pack.Armand, though, remained distant, his emotional walls seemingly impenetrable.

As the days passed, the unsettling whispers about Amy's potential involvement with the vampires continued to haunt me. I began to dream about Amy’s betrayal, and the darkness she had cast over us all.I dreamed about her hold on me, and the darkness she had tried to control me and the moon goddess with. I had done enough research into our mythology to understand that she had completely torn her own soul apart to create that darkness.She would have had to sacrifice much to learn how to wield it. My nightmares swirled with darkness and bloodshed. On more than one occasion I found myself waking up in a cold sweat, with a scream on my lips.I couldn't shake the feeling that there might be some truth to those hushed rumors, but I also didn't want to be the bearer of more bad news.

I couldn't fathom how she, imprisoned as she was, in our most secure dungeon, could have any dealings with our ancient enemies.Why would she want anything to do with the vampires anyway? Why would they want anything to do with her? Did her dark magic draw them in somehow? The uncertainty gnawed at my mind like a persistent itch.In my confusion and turmoil, I often found myself sitting alone by the window, gazing out at the moonlit valley that I now considered my home, and would do so for the

"We can't keep up with these relentless attacks. They're hitting us where we're vulnerable, and we're struggling to defend ourselves."Solomon, the leader of the ally pack, nodded in agreement. His own pack had faced similar hardships in the past, and he understood the gravity of the situation. "The vampires seem to have a deep knowledge of our movements and weaknesses.
