The Alpha's Regret: Rising From The Ash 31
Chapter 31: Metal and FleshThe noise was deafening.Thousands of rounds per minute chewed through the concrete floor and sparked off the steel casing of the missile cart. The Reaper Prime was a wall of lead and fury.We were huddled behind the cart. It was the only thing between us and being turned into a red mist."It is suppressing us!" Kael shouted over the roar of the guns. "We cannot move!""It is protecting the bomb," I realized. "Garrett programmed it not to shoot the payload. That is why it is firing wide."I looked at the timer on the missile.00:08:42"Dorian," I yelled. "The C4! Is it ready?"Dorian was hugging his backpack. He looked pale but focused."It is primed!" Dorian shouted. "But I need to get close! I need to stick it on the chassis!""We will get you close," I said.I looked at Kael and Seth."It is tracking motion," I said. "The witch’s cloak hides our heat but it can still see us moving. We need to overload its sensors.""How?" Seth asked. He gripped his rifle

Chapter 30: The Hammer and the ScalpelThe war room smelled of stale coffee and unwashed bodies.A holographic map of Seattle hovered in the center of the table. It glowed with angry red lines marking the National Guard barricades and the drone patrol routes."We are looking at a fortress," Dorian said. He pointed to a large complex near the docks. "The armory is surrounded by ten foot electric fences. There are sniper towers on every corner. And Garrett has parked a tank at the main gate.""A tank?" Gamma Seth asked incredulously. "Where did he get a tank?""He bought it," I said. "Along with the politicians who are letting him keep it."I looked at the timer on the wall.42 Hours to Deployment.The clock was ticking down to our extinction."We cannot breach the front gate," Sterling said. The Alpha of the Silver River Pack was leaning over the map. "Not without heavy artillery. If we charge that tank we are just meat for the grinder.""We are not charging the tank," I said. "At leas

Chapter 29: The Long NightThe forest was burning.The missiles had ignited the dry underbrush turning the valley into an inferno. Smoke choked the air. It was thick and black and smelled of sulfur.I ran.I pushed my body to the limit. My lungs burned with every breath. I dodged falling branches and leaping flames.Kael was right beside me. He was in wolf form. His black fur was matted with ash. He stayed close to my flank ready to intercept any debris that might fall my way.We were ghosts. The Matriarch’s spell protected us from the thermal cameras of the jet circling above. To the pilot we were just cold spots in the fire.But the other Alphas were not so lucky.I could hear their panic. I could hear the roar of the jet engines as it made another pass. It was hunting the heat signatures of the fleeing wolves."We cannot just leave them!" I shouted over the roar of the fire.Kael growled. He nudged me toward the river.Water, he commanded through the bond. It masks the heat.He was

Chapter 28: The Council of ShadowsThe ruins of Shadow Creek lay in a valley between three mountain ranges.It was an old lumber mill that had burned down a century ago. Rusted iron gears jutted out of the earth like the ribs of a buried giant. The river that ran through it was black and fast.We arrived ten minutes before midnight.We did not take a car. We ran.Kael and I moved through the forest in wolf form. The run helped clear my head. The physical exertion burned away the anxiety that had been gnawing at my stomach since the broadcast.We shifted back behind a crumbling stone wall. We dressed quickly in the clothes we had carried in waterproof bags."Do you smell them?" Kael asked. He buttoned his tactical shirt."I smell wet dog and ego," I said. "They are here."We walked into the clearing.The moon was hidden behind heavy clouds. The only light came from a few scattered fires the other packs had started in oil drums.There were fifty wolves present.They stood in clusters. E

Chapter 27: Paper RainThe lockdown turned the Blackwood territory into an island.We were surrounded by a sea of trees and mountains but we were drowning.The concrete barriers at the gate held firm. The patrols walked the perimeter with grim faces. But the real threat was not coming from the ground.It came from the sky.I stood in the courtyard of the Pack House two days after the incident in town. The sky was a bruised purple color as evening set in.A low humming sound broke the silence.It sounded like a swarm of bees."Drones!" a sentry shouted from the watchtower. "Incoming form the south!"Wolves scattered. Mothers grabbed their pups and ran for the bunkers. Warriors shifted and snapped their jaws at the air."Hold fire!" Kael ordered. He strode into the center of the courtyard. "Do not waste ammo until we see a weapon."I joined him. I shielded my eyes against the setting sun.A fleet of black quadcopters crested the tree line. There were dozens of them. They hovered over th

Chapter 26: The First StoneThe sun rose over a world that had changed overnight.Yesterday the sunrise had brought warmth and celebration. Today it brought a cold gray light that felt like judgment.I stood in the war room of the Pack House. It was a bunker located in the sub basement. The walls were lined with screens.Dorian sat at the main terminal. He had bags under his eyes. He had not slept."The internet is a dumpster fire," Dorian reported. He took a sip of stale coffee. "Garrett’s website crashed three times from the traffic. People are downloading the map of pack territories like it is a treasure map.""What about the government?" Kael asked. He was pacing the room. His Alpha aura was agitated filling the small space with static energy."Silent," Dorian said. "The President has not made a statement yet. But the National Guard has been mobilized in three states. They are setting up checkpoints around the known territories.""They are boxing us in," I said. "They are waiting
