Dark Shadows

I then took a step back and waited for him to regain his composure with everyone else in the room stopping what they were doing and staring straight at us. “What the fuck?” He yelled. “It’s not nice being jumped. Is it?” I asked. “Is this about that boy this morning?” He asked, holding his hand over his nose. “No. This is about the girl this morning.” I said. And his face dropped. Now realizing that I knew who else he had attacked. All of his friends had jumped back from the table, knowing that they couldn’t get into a fight with me unless they were willing to suffer the consequences. But I didn’t give a shit about that. I didn’t care that I was the next Alpha. If they wanted to try and gang up on me then I didn’t care in the least. But they weren’t game enough to do that. So Jordan stood there knowing that he was on his own and he looked back at me, trying to find a way out of this and he started laughing. “We were just messing around with that girl.” He said. And I star

Benjamin stared at me the same way that he always did. Like he knew that he shouldn’t be here, but he couldn’t stay away. “I know. That’s why I got you to meet me out here. Did you get out easy enough?” He asked. “I do the patrol rosters? I know where everyone is and at what time they are going to be there. It’s always easy for me to sneak out.” I said. “Good.” “I’m guessing this has something to do with the attack on that human town?” I asked. “Yeah. Your pack isn’t the only ones that are going to kill me if they see me here.” He said. “What’s going on Benjamin? Why did they do it?” I asked. “That’s just the first of many. I don’t know where the next attack will be. But a war is coming. It’s inevitable now. Vampires have decided that they want to rule the world and they are going to stop at nothing. They’re starting with small towns before they hit the bigger cities.” He explained. “And why not? Why are they doing this now? Vampires have been around for thousands of y

I got on the computer and I started looking at these towns and started researching them to see if they have anything in common. But all I can see is that they have small sheriff’s stations with only a few officers in charge of the whole town. And they are only small towns. Something that a small army of vampires wouldn’t be able to handle. Especially if they have been compelled to do what the vampires tell them to. Humans don’t even know that vampires exist. Which means they don’t know how to protect themselves against being compelled and all other ways that vampires can control them. They can get inside their heads if they want to. And that’s what was bugging me the most. That these humans have absolutely no idea how to protect themselves because we aren’t allowed to tell them that vampires exist. Even though the government knows. And they are the ones that I was really pissed at. They should be warning people. Instead, they’re sitting on their asses doing nothing. I finally fo

It felt like a Mexican standoff between the vampires and werewolves. Some of the patrols were in wolf form and some weren’t. “Have they tried anything?” Dad asked. “No. They’ve just been watching.” Arlo says. “They’re trying to figure out how big our pack is.” I said. “They should know by the size of the territory.” Arlo said. “That doesn’t mean anything. I’ve seen tiny packs with a lot of land.” “But they would know us. We are a large pack.” Dad said. And he was right. We are a large pack. But we aren’t the largest in the country and not the scariest. But we were larger than most. So, I guess that put us on their radar. That’s why they were here. To watch us. “Well, they can only stay out there for so long. Until they burst into flames.” I said. “Yeah. Thank fuck for sunlight.” Dad said. “I couldn’t have said it better myself.” I smirked. “Sunlight isn’t for hours yet.” Arlo reminded us. “Why aren’t they attacking? This doesn’t make sense.” A warrior said. “The

As soon as we entered the dance floor Alpha Lucas put his arm around my waist and pulled me flush against his chest. And he never stops staring into my eyes, the whole time he has his arms around me. “So, why have I never seen you at these Alpha Balls?” He asked. “Maybe you haven’t been looking hard enough.” I said. “I definitely would have noticed you before this.” He said. “I don’t come to all of them.” I said. “Why not?” He asked. “Because I hate them. Your girlfriend looks jealous.” I said. And he looked over his shoulder at the girl that he brought to the Ball. “She’s not my girlfriend.” He said. “Does she know that?” I asked. “I’ve made my feelings clear. She’s just a…distraction.” He said. He tightens his grip around me and my breath hitches slightly, taking me a little off guard. Shake it off Meadow. You don’t usually get so affected by one guy. No matter how attractive they are. “Aren’t you meant to be over there discussing the vampire problem with the
