I was confused as hell as to why the Joint Chief of Staff was calling me, but then it started making sense after seeing that drone flying over the pack. “Have you been watching us? Using your drones?” I asked. “Yes. That was us.” He said. “Why?” I asked. “I just told you. I believe that we can help each other.” He said. “I really doubt that.” I said. “I have the entire military at my disposal.” He said. “And I have a lot more than you do. Knowledge of what we’re dealing with.” I said. “You mean the vampires? And I know that you are a pack of werewolves. Training and creating your own army to stop the vampires.” He said. “Why doesn’t that surprise me?” I asked. “I don’t know. Probably because we are the American Government. We’ve known about vampires for years and we’ve let them go. Only because they were killing to survive. But now they are killing without mercy and drawing attention to themselves. They’re coming out from the shadows.” He said. “Yeah. And what do
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 35
As soon as we reached the human town, we needed to make sure that we took the long way around. We didn’t want the humans to see us because we were three times the size of normal wolves and we were in a pack of 20. That wasn’t normal and it would scare the hell out of them. That was the last thing we needed. But luckily the warehouse was on the outskirts of town. So, we didn’t have to go through any busy parts of town to get there. We knew that there wouldn’t be any patrols on the outside, so we started surrounding the building and getting into position. Arlo was on top of the building trying to see through the skylight, but it had obviously been blacked out. We didn’t know where the humans were being held or where the patrols were. So I walked around the building several times on my own to try and hear whatever I could from the noises inside the building. When I was finished I mind linked my warriors that the hostages were on along the eastern wall. Not sure how they were ti

Lucas fell backwards into my room and I went inside and slammed the door behind me so no one could hear us arguing since all of these rooms were soundproof. “I thought you would have gotten the message that I didn’t want to fucking talk to you.” I growled. “And I left you a message. I told you that it’s not what it seemed.” He said. “There was a woman in your room answering your personal phone at 4:30 in the fucking morning. How stupid do you think I am?” I asked. “You’re not stupid. I know that. But I also know that Maeve is a manipulative bitch. She had been there the night before and I found out that she had spent the night with my Beta. That’s how she knew that I was in the shower and that’s why she was in my room at that time.” He said. “Do you really expect me to believe that?” I asked. “I know that it sounds far fetched. I know that it will be hard for you to believe me. I’m just asking you to have faith in me, please. You don’t feel the mate bond, but I do. And I wo

“I hear you rescued some humans today.” Chandler said. “You mean, the ones that you neglected and left to die? Yeah. I rescued them.” I said. “25 people don’t mean anything when millions more are at risk.” He said. “Well, there’s the difference between you and me, Chandler. I will save every human that I can. You can turn your back on them if you want, but I refuse to. If this is what you meant by helping each other, then you can go to hell.” I said, hanging up. I was a little pissed off after that phone call but I managed to calm myself down enough so that I could get some sleep. I was up at 4:30am again the next morning and I got dressed into a red and black sports top, matching tights, socks and sandshoes. I walked downstairs and out the front door and I stretched on the front veranda before I left the house and I started jogging through the woods, around the whole territory. Once I made the first pass of the packhouse, I saw Lucas sitting on the front veranda watchin

It took me a moment to regain my composure and I realized that I have nothing to be ashamed of. I had a legitimate informant and I wasn’t going to be sorry for that. “He’s a vampire.” I said. “What?” Lucas asked, sitting up straight on my chair and putting his feet on the ground. “I told you that I was getting all that information about attacks and shit from the dark web. I lied. I had to make it look like it was coming from the dark web. It wasn’t. Benjamin was telling me.” I said. “You’re in with a vampire?” He asked. “Yeah. And so far, all of his tips have paid off. Every attack on this pack came from him. He’s been helping us and all of his tips have been legit.” I said. “He’s never once tried to fuck you over?” He asked. “No. Not once.” I said. “How the hell do you even have this sort of a relationship with a vampire?” He asked. I let out a deep breath and I walked over to the couch and sat down. “When I was 11 I ran away. Jillian and Leo were really getting t
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 39
We made sure that we had the best previsions because we weren’t stopping until we got to Oklahoma, except for gas. We took it in turns to drive and we already had enough food in the van for everyone to live off of. And they all bought several spare change of clothes. I tried to pick the warriors that didn’t have a mate or children. Just to make it easier on the ones that did have a family back home relying on them. Not that I thought these guys were more expendable, but they understood why I did it that way. None of them complained, even if I asked them to come alone. I never ordered anyone. They could say no and a couple did, so I would move on to the next ones. And the ones that said no weren’t going to be punished for it. I didn’t work like that. I made sure that these warriors wanted to be here, and they weren’t here against their will. Again, that’s not how I operate. I kept my eye on James, Lyla and Anna. But secretively. Trying to see if they were acting any different
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 40
As the cops were all standing there staring at us I could hear their heart beats accelerating and some of them sounded like they were going to have a heart attack. So I nudged Lucas with my nose. “We’re werewolves. But we don’t hurt humans. I swear to you. We were put on this earth to protect humans. From vampires. And that’s what has been killing off these towns. How else would entire towns be attacked with no trace of the killers? No evidence? They’re vampires and we are here to help you. We know that they are coming here tonight and you need to start evacuating before they get here. I swear, this isn’t a trap. We’re here to save your life.” Lucas pleaded with them. The chief stumbled as he ran over to the radio and he got all of his patrol cars on the same station. “Evacuate the town now. We’re going to be attacked tonight. Knock on ever door and tell them to grab what they can and get the hell out.” The chief said. “There’s no time for that. It’s almost sunset. We don’t kn
Dark Shadows CHAPTER 41
I kept looking up at the sky and it was pitch black tonight. But I could see faint lights in the distance and they were definitely military jets. I shifted back into my human self and I grabbed my backpack and I put some clothes on. I ran to the cops and told them to get the hell out. The army is going to bomb the town. Get out now. So they all got in their cars and they started evacuating as well. And we needed to get back to our vans. The jets were getting closer and we had to take off before they got here. I wasn’t going to lose any of my people and they all followed me back to the vans. We jumped into whatever van we could and started speeding through the now deserted town. Seeing homes with their doors still open, bags just thrown everywhere with clothes in them that obviously wouldn’t fit in their cars as they were getting the hell out. We heard the jets drop the bombs just as we got to the edge of town and the faster we sped away, we still felt the ground shake from
