Avalyn The next few days flew by in a blur. All we did was train and plan minute details. We made it a point to practice with the vampires so that we fought like a team. Nik was more stressed than I had ever seen him. In fact, I hardly saw him after our little date. He was the busiest of all. He was training with everyone and making sure that they were doing their best. He took turns explaining the plan to every group in detail to make sure there was no doubt or confusion. He also looked over the manufacture of weapons that we were going to use. We had ordered guns, but wooden bullets had to be carved out of wood. Only then would it kill a supernatural. I took care of lodging the people who weren't going to fight. There were about thirty of them. Keeping them all in a single place was also risky, which was why I had them scattered strategically. That way, no one would know where they were, but at least one group of the pack was near them to defend or rescue them if needed. Max had
Mikhail I ran hard to my position, which was at the very south of the pack. The trees there were scarcer than at the other borders so it was a bit challenging, but we lived for a good challenge. Finding the tallest tree, I stealthily climbed to the top. I nodded at Clark, who was on the branch beside mine. 'Everyone in your positions?' I mind-linked my team of fifty wolves. 'Yes,' everyone replied together in a single word. I looked at my watch. 11:53. Now, it was time to wait. "The Montana Pack has about five hundred wolves who can fight. We only have one hundred and fifty. We cannot fight them all at once and win. But we do have a chance if we fight just half of them at a time. Max, I want you to get Gonzalez to bring in two hundred and fifty wolves to attack," Alpha had told Max as we gathered in the conference room. He was finally going to tell us what the war strategy was going to be. "Tell him we are a hundred and fifty wolves and I have asked for about fifty vampires from V
Avalyn Nik and I stood on the terrace of the house as we looked at the peaceful ocean. The moon cast a beautiful reflection of itself on the dark sea. Cold winds blew and I shivered. I zipped up my jacket. The waves slowly increased and I caught the sight of a boat. My breath hitched. They had arrived. "The last group of fifty enemies is going to attack our house. They will come through the sea on rowboats so no noise is made to alert anybody. Those fifty men will be divided into groups of two. The first group will have thirty men and the second group will have twenty men," Nikolai had said. "You two," Nikolai had looked at Max and Natalia, "along with Gonzalez and his most loyal and trusted men will come in the second group. The house has three automated snipers on the roof and can shoot three bullets at a time before it takes a break of fifteen seconds to reload and shoot again. Those thirty men will be a suicide squad. They will go to the operating room and turn off the power fo
Dimitri 'They are in, brother,' Mikhail mind-linked me. 'Okay.' I grinned. "The enemies have crossed our borders," I announced. "In the next ten minutes, they will be inside our homes," my voice boomed in the courtyard of the Packhouse. "The seventy-five enemy wolves coming from the Western and Northern borders will run straight to the packhouse. They will want to kill everyone inside to symbolize that the Rogue Pack has fallen. In the next fifteen minutes, they will be here." "Will we let our pack fall?" I asked. "No!" Everyone roared unanimously. "Will we let a single intruder breathe one more second on our lands?" I asked. "No!" Everyone roared again. "Good," I lowered my voice. "That's the energy I want to see in everyone when we are on the battlefield. It's kill or be killed. And I prefer to kill." A grin started forming on my face. "In fact, I love killing. Do you?" I growled out my question. "Yes!" they growled back. "Good. Take your positions. They will be here in te
Avalyn My eyes teared up more. We were winning and now I had put everyone in a position to lose everything. I should have been more alert! I should have been paying more attention to my surroundings! What was I thinking? "Rogue," Emilio hissed. "You planned this whole thing?" And then he shifted his glare to Max. "And you, you devious motherfucker. I must admit, I'm impressed." "Thanks." Max gave him a wide grin. "You will let me and my pack members leave alive or else I will shoot this bitch right now." He pressed the nozzle of the gun harder against my temple. 'Ava, use your powers and throw him a couple of feet away from you. I will save you. I promise,' Nik mind-linked me. I closed my eyes and imagined tossing him a couple of feet away but it didn't work. "Don't even think about using your magic, you witch," he hissed in my ear. "You may snap my neck or throw me off, but I still have a gun in my hand. It will not take me more than a split second to finish you, which I should
Nikolai "Ple—please l-let me go.... I wi-will give you anything y-you w*-w*nt.... T-take my pack i-if you w*nt it." Gonzalez begged pathetically. "That pack was never yours to begin with. And there is nothing in this entire world that you can offer me to let you go, fuckface." I felt his bone crunch under the force of my punch. It made me smile. I heard his scream, but it only fuelled my anger. It only pushed me for more. Grabbing his hair, I pummelled his face over and over again. It had been two hours since I had started beating the shit out of him. I could feel Dimitri's and Mikhail's eyes on me. They watched as I mercilessly tortured him. They felt my fury, my wrath, and they saw as I completely lost it. They understood my anger and didn't interfere. Getting in my way at that moment wouldn't end well. In the past two hours, I hadn't stopped once, and nor had his screams. My thirst for his blood had not been sated. The fury was still boiling inside of me, threatening to kill him
Nikolai "...you miserable piece of leering vermin." I heard Nat hiss as I entered the dungeon. The view that met my eyes was a pleasant one. Max and Nat were having their turn playing with Gonzalez. While he was not bleeding from the lashes Dimitri and I had laid on him anymore, his body was now beautifully tattooed with dozens of welts and wounds in angry red, brown, and black. There was also an addition to his collection of bruises, cuts, and broken bones that delighted me. Currently, Natalia had her sharp heel pressing down on his balls as he wept in pain, begging and apologizing to her for looking at her the wrong way in the club and at their house. Nat didn't seem impressed with his meagre begging though. Max, who was taking out various dildos from the bag looked up at me and grinned. "We've been waiting for you. I thought you should have the honour of taking his virginity." Somewhere in the background, Gonzalez's screams intensified and both of us laughed at that. "Pick you
Nikolai Heavy is the head that wears the crown. It wasn't easy to always be the one people came to for everything, to always be the one who took care of everyone and everything, to always be the bad guy. But I thought that after I found my mate, she would share that weight with me. She would be there with me every step of the way. "Sometimes, Nikolai, you shock me with just how cruel you really are." Did she really believe that I wanted to punish our pack members? "I'm going to see Andrei because unlike you, I actually consider him my brother and love him like one. And don't worry, I won't heal him. I wouldn't want to give you an opportunity to whip me too." Did she really believe that I wanted to punish my own brother? That I didn't care for him? And to throw it in my face.... I shook my head. She was probably shocked and angry. "She'll come around." Natalia patted my shoulder. I snapped out of my thoughts and realized almost everyone was already gone. "She just doesn't unde
