Mateo and I led the warriors to the mines and we were the first ones inside. I didn’t know what I was looking for but there were a lot of empty alcohol bottles, dirty mattresses and all sorts of garbage on the floor when we walked in. I looked around and there were several entrances down the corridor so Mateo ordered everyone to split up. “This is a popular party spot for teenagers.” Mateo said. “How do you let them get away with it?” I asked. “I don’t. Meadow usually organizes them so I don’t find out about it until the next day or so.” Mateo said. “Meadow organizes them?” I asked, shocked. “She is the next Alpha of this pack and she is very responsible. But she’s also a teenage girl.” Mateo said. “I guess. Her friends probably love her for it.” I said. I then heard something off to the right of us, when we knew that all the warriors had gone to the right. Because that’s where all the other entrances were. So Mateo and I went the other way and thankfully for being we

The vampire was stalking towards my bed, zig zagging from side to side. Her crimson eyes were on me the whole time. “What do you want?” I managed to whisper out. “I thought you and I needed to talk. You are, afterall, the next Alpha of this pack. Mated to the Alpha of the most powerful pack in the country.” She said. “So?” I asked. “Well, we all know that werewolves are the ones that are going to try to stop what we are trying to do. The accomplishments that we are trying to achieve.” She said. “Accomplishments? You’re killing innocent people to take over the world. That’s not an accomplishment. That’s sadism.” I said. “Probably. We are vampires, without souls.” She said. “Bullshit. Vampires can have a soul. You just choose not to.” I said. “You are smarter than anyone gives you credit for. He told me that you were the one that we needed to look out for.” She said. “Who?” I asked. And she smiled a maniacal smile at me. “The one who told us that taking over the world

I stood there staring at the elders as they looked so sure of themselves. I leaned against the door, staring at each and every one of them. They all didn’t flinch, they didn’t seem intimidated at all. And I was going to have to change that. “None of you have Alpha blood.” I said. “That doesn’t matter. We know what’s best for this pack. We have lived here our whole lives.” Caleb said. “Right. So have I. In the packhouse. Around the Alpha. In fact, when he died at the hands of vampires, his Alpha power had to go somewhere. And where do you think that power went?” I asked, watching them all as they all started to squirm. As they started to sweat and buckle at the knees. As they started to feel the pressure and pain of the Alpha aura being pushed upon them from my body. I knew that they were elderly, which means I didn’t go too hard on them. I let up the Alpha aura when I was sure that they knew what point I was trying to get across. “I know that you all think that I am too y

I stared at the photo of my mother and then looked at Lucas. I couldn’t stop thinking about that dream that I had of her as well. But then I shook it off. “This is crazy. It had to be someone that looked just like her.” I said. “She has the same eyes as you. Just not as bright.” He said. “Maybe it was a relative of hers or something. It’s possible. I know that she wasn’t born in this pack and I’ve never met anyone from her side of the family. I had to be someone else that was a close relative. Maybe she’s got a sister or something.” I said. “You’ve never met them?” He asked. “No. Dad never mentioned them and I guess I was just never interested. This was my home and I never thought about it.” I said. We were in the office working until late before I finally went up to my room to have a shower and I got some fresh clothes on. And it was really good to have a shower as well. I then sat next to the window for a minute looking up at the sky, starting to wonder what sort of fam

The vampires attacked in unison and they were definitely well trained for this. Something else I had never seen or heard of before. But we were just as well trained. If not, better. Because we train for this our whole lives. We all collided with a thunderous crash, with me right in the middle of the fighting and I grabbed one vampire that was attacking another wolf and I gripped it around the neck and shook my head vigorously until its head detached from its body and then threw it away in the distance. I felt something sharp stick into my back that I let out a roar, but before I could get the vampire off of me another warrior had already grabbed it and killed it. I could tell right then that they were all watching out for me, as well as themselves. But also each other. Just like they had been trained. They were a pack. And no matter who hated each other inside the pack, when we are faced by an enemy like this, we are one. We work as one. The vampires were getting through us,
