"Found them! Larry and a few others are down this ditch." A warrior screamed."Andrew?" Laura screamed, abandoning the crying female and sprinting towards the ditch. "Is Andrew there?" She panted, then looked into the deep opening in the ground where bodies of werewolves were piled up. "There's no telling, I can only make out Larry." She sighed.Douglas arrived shortly, she could feel the anxiety seeping out of his pores. "Is he there?" He asked, then looked into the ditch."Fuck." He snarled, "get them out of there."In a few minutes, they retrieved the wolves in the ditch. Most of them were severely wounded or dead. Luckily Larry was unscathed but was still unconscious. A head count of all the rescued werewolves revealed that it was just Andrew and Derek that were still missing.Laura clenched her fist, then ran her hands through her hair. Douglas growled. His power rushed through the air like a dust haze. Birds and other animals around them scampered for safety."They cast a spe
"I have decided to be fair. And so while we launch a series of attacks. I'm throwing open the Alpha position to any of my sons that can provide a permanent solution to our feud with the witches. It mustn't be an attack that'll wipe them out, it should be something that would make them fear us. "Henceforth anyone that figures out what is going to stop the witches will become Alpha."Gasps rang through the room, shock did not begin to define what the pack members felt. Sighs of disapproval and murmurs arose. "The prophecy?" Some murmured, "did something happen?" Others said.Caleb who had been keeping a low profile had to keep himself from jumping in jubilation. He couldn't believe his luck. After the recent attack, he considered giving up, but this new revelation awoke his determination. His wolf purred in appreciation. This was it. He could feel it within his nerves, the opportunity he'd waited for all those years had finally fallen in his lap and he'd be stupid not to grab it. He b
Andrew's mouth fell open."Awww stop it." Selene said, with a small wave. "You shouldn't be that surprised to see me. Don't mind my attire, I can't keep up with your generation, it's difficult."She was wearing a loosely fitted, golden evening gown that was floating around like it was being billowed by violent winds. This time Selene's dark red hair was let down and adorned with little flowers on each side. Andrew glanced at the windows, they were firmly shut. Then he squinted at her."Who, no what are you?" Andrew bit out,His wolf who was supposed to be backing him up purred and lazed around in his head."Argh," he growled at his wolf."Who's betraying who now?" He muttered under his breath."I'm also called Luna?" She gestured."Luna of what Pack? Why can't I feel your wolf? Plus are you a witch and werewolf? Or are you the ghost of a werewolf?" He badgered,Grinning Selene folded her arms and relaxed into her chair."You may want to sit down." She said,"No…." Andrew started to s
Since his father's announcement, a grin had been permanently etched on Caleb's face.This was the opportunity he'd longed for, for the greater part of his life. Unfortunately, it came a little too late for him to play the game fairly. If the old Alpha had made this announcement earlier, maybe he would have forgiven him. Now he wanted nothing but to squeeze the life out of him and Andrew.Caleb stretched his arms, then resumed drumming to an internal beat. He was sitting in a local pub waiting for Mendez.The 48 hours he gave him expired days ago. Before his father's announcement, he'd trashed Mendez's offer, deciding that Mendez was a snake. He was sure that if they worked together, Mendez would want more later on in the future. He could smell Mendez's desperation to rule Brighton from behind the scenes from a mile away and as far as Caleb could tell, he couldn't become a puppet Alpha.He also found it hard to believe that his father had it in him to kill his mother. He watched the m
Laura growled lowly, "I've had enough of that bastard." She gritted out, as she and Larry got into her car.Larry shrugged, then ruffled his hair."I'm bound to it till I die Laura. There's nothing I can do about it." Earlier on when Douglas had asked Larry to talk about the second prophecy, Larry had found himself unable to talk.Douglas laughed sardonically when Laura tried to prod it out of him. Laura was frustrated and Larry looked like he was about to burst into tears when Douglas asked her to stop."He can't say anything about it, Laura. Neither can Caleb. Even Mendez sitting there cannot ask questions about it. I'll do the same to you if you continue pandering me."Laura growled."I'm Alpha," Douglas whispered menacingly, lacing his tone with dominance. "You will respect my decisions and stop questioning me."Snarling Laura stomped out of the conference room. "Get out!" Douglas barked, making Larry jump to his feet and scurry after Laura. "Now we can discuss tactics," Doug
"They met again and have agreed to work together to kill you and Andrew." The muscular tan-skinned man said.Douglas growled,"Of course they did.""There's also a plan to stop Andrew from finding a solution. They're going to try to get him to leave." He added.Douglas sighed,"Place a bounty on their heads. The moment Mendez travels out of Brighton he should never be able to return. Have assassins waiting on him in New York. Make a fake attempt at his wife and daughter's lives. It'll send him running back to New York, where he'll take his last breath."The Shadow grinned."Wise one, Alpha.""Caleb?" Douglas sneered."Let him be for now I'll handle him myself.""Noted, Nicole?""That twat is in on it too?""We doubt she knows about the main plot to kill you and Andrew, but Mendez wants to ensure that she's Luna of Brighton. She resisted, but will have to get with Caleb as part of the deal."Douglas smirked,"Place a bounty on her head but leave her. If by some malfunction they succee
Humans. Humans. Fae. Sprite. Humans. Undead. Human. Human. Humans. Human. Ghost. Human. Humans. Humans. Emily counted every being that entered the bar. Her hands twitched nervously below her table. Her date was running late. He was never late. She inhaled deeply and rearranged her hair. She'd sensed that something was wrong when Samantha called her and instructed that she meet up with him immediately. To make matters worse, she had not fully recovered from Shirley's attack. There's no need to worry. He'll be here. She tried to assure herself.David, her date albeit a fake one, was her team's informant who worked at the sorcerer's fight club. They met regularly and pretended to be very in love while swapping information. This particular date was impromptu though because it was rumored that they were about to move the kids. After all, the sorcerer suspected some of his workers. Samantha had immediately set a meeting with David to confirm it.Her mind drifted back to Jacqueline's reacti
"Miss you're taking up space, your time's up." The waitress announced loudly.Emily's head snapped up.The chatter in the bar died down and all eyes turned towards her booth. She gritted her teeth as she quickly wiped the tear off.She cleared her throat."My … Uhm ... I'm about to …." She stuttered."Miss!" You've held up this table for hours now. If that was your date he has left. You didn't even order anything. I know he broke up with you, take heart. Time's up. I need this table, it's a full house tonight." The waitress interrupted rudely.Emily gasped, holding her chest. She then grabbed her things, stood up abruptly, and darted to the ladies’ room.She burst into the dimly lit restroom, startling the couple making out in front of the mirror. She grabbed a toilet sink, trying to hold back her tears. They started falling out stubbornly. She quickly emptied the contents of her purse into the sink and grabbed her phone, dialing the first person she could think of. Jacqueline.Jacque
