'Fire at the garage!' Eva called through the pack mind-link.
Eva didn't bother to see if anyone heard her and instead ran towards the garage to try and see if anyone had been in there. She was so distracted by the fire that at first she didn't see the small brown cardboard box sat neatly on the street until she practically tripped over it.
Frowning, she glanced at it, seeing that it was addressed to Daniel. Reaching down to pick the box up, she was surprised by its lightness but could tell something was in it. It was meant for Daniel but Eva felt dread freezing her blood when she saw smudges of blood on the light brown surface. Breathing deeply, Eva moved to open the box but didn't get very far.
"Don't open the box." Daniel's voice broke into Eva's co
Thanks again to everyone who has been reading! We are approaching the end so hold on tight because things are about to get crazy. If you've guessed who the Mad Alpha is then well done if not, hold tight because you're going to find out very soon.
By dawn the fire had been put out but all that remained was rubble and the charred and ashened carcasses of vehicles and warped metal frames. Luckily no one had been in the building at the time of the fire so there were no casualties but nothing was salvageable. The scent of burnt wood and chemicals still hung on the air as the rubble smouldered against the pale grey light of the morning.Warriors, scouts and guards had been moving about the packhouse and grounds in a flurry as wolves made their way through the land looking for clues to where the Mad Alpha was or better yet, finding him.The news of Kade's death had hit the back like a sledgehammer. It had knocked the spirit out of the pack as everyone silently processed that one of their own was gone. Daniel had refused to speak about it and didn't let his mind dwell on the fa
For as long as Ethan could remember, he had despised his family but none more so than his own father.Michael had never been a good father nor a sane one. He had just turned fifty-one when he got some poor she-wolf by the name of Catherine pregnant after a drunken night and quickly found himself lumbered with a pregnant nineteen year old. He had tried to squirm his way out of it like the snake he was but things were done differently in the Night Stalker pack and despite being the nephew of a high ranking wolf, he was forced to take Catherine as his mate and provide for her.Except it wasn’t Michael providing for Catherine but rather Catherine providing for their pup and her pathetic excuse of a mate.Ethan was grateful he didn't inherit Catherine's mu
Ethan could have killed Bethany too and finally be free of his awful family that he despised with all his soul. However, he knew she would prove useful so he made her pack up a few belongings and sit in the car while he set the old house on fire with his father’s corpse inside. They sat in the old battered car as the fire consumed the house, orange and yellow flames dancing against the black backdrop of the night, reaching for the sky like damned souls. The fire quickly grew to a vengeful inferno thanks to the winter gales feeding the greedy element until even the freezing sheets of rain could do nothing to dampen the thick black smoke or the wicked flames licking up the side of the burning building. They officially became packless that night. Ethan k
After Slade's visit, Daniel had decided to take his father's advice and track down contact information for the Alpha of the Night Stalker pack. He didn't know much about the pack except that they hadn't attended the singles event and were one of just three official packs in Ireland. There was no bad blood with any other pack that Daniel could tell but this wasn't surprising. Given the size of the land, keeping the peace was on most Alphas' agenda even if their personal opinions of each other are less than pleasant. Daniel didn't care for that side of politics and he often made it obvious. Sure peace was good but he didn't fancy playing nice with a bunch of arrogant Alphas just because it looked good.Daniel was eventually able to get hold of a number for the Night Stalker Alpha. Aisling was about the same age as Daniel's mother but her son (and the heir to the Night Stalker throne) was
Eva had admitted to herself she had been putting off asking Bethan to go over the events of her attack again. The first time had been hard enough for the shy girl. It felt like Eva was just going to be rubbing salt into the wounds. She had to do it though. Too many people had died and Eva would never forgive herself if she didn't at least try to get Bethan to remember something else. She just hoped this was the last time she would have to make Bethan relive that horrible night.Knocking on the bedroom door, Eva waited until Bethan answered. It didn't take long, as if Bethan had been waiting for Eva to turn up, her brown eyes dull and shadows smudging the skin under her eyes."Bethan." Eva smiled softly. "Can I come in?""Sure." Bethan whispered, stepping aside to let the older she-wolf in.The room was still as immaculate as the first time Eva had stepped in and she was starting to wonder if Bethan was even sleeping in the bed. She quick
Kade sat up like he had just been electrocuted, heart hammering in his chest loudly before the piercing pain in his head make groan. It felt like someone was pushing an ice pick into his skull and piercing his brain over and over, every synapse firing in protest."Oh goddess, what did you do to me?" He growled."Brought you back to life." Dagmar replied sharply, moving to sit in her usual seat. "That pain in your head in your body repairing itself after having a bullet shot through it at point blank range."Kade groaned, elbows resting on his thighs and hands pushed into his thick dark hair. He could feel the dried blood still clinging to his scalp and roots. It took a moment before it all came back to him. He had been ambushed and shot in the head. He shouldn't
Something was wrong. Eva had spent most of the day trying to focus on looking at transfer requests between the Silver Moon township and the Hellhound township; however it had proven difficult as her mind wandered to other places. Nothing about the day seemed right from the moment she got up and realised Daniel hadn't come to bed. On top of that, her conversation with Bethan had left her confused. The way Ethan had looked at his little sister had been unsettling and it seemed odd he had walked in just as Bethan revealed she remembered more than one attacker. However it wasn't just the fact she was now convinced Bethan was hiding something or that her mate had been elusive since the morning before. Kalla had been stirring underneath the surface, wriggling like a startled fish in water. Anxiety fluttered up into Eva's ch
“What the hell!” Eva yelped, instantly retaliating with a fist to the male’s nose.Ethan grunted as he doubled over, hands covering his nose as dark red rivulets of blood began seeping between his fingers and dripping onto the forest floor. Eva didn’t hang around to see the flash of black eyes as she ripped the needle from her arm and darted back towards the pack.She barely made it two steps before Ethan was on her, tackling Eva to the floor. She hissed from the impact of hitting the earth, struggling against the male while he tried to restrain her. Growling, she brought her knee up sharply between Ethan's legs, the wolf above her grunting in pain. It was enough of a distraction to allow Eva to push Ethan off of her and scramble to her feet.
