Bianca stood still and pretended she didn't hear what her father had mindlinked to the pack.  She knew the warriors from Shadow Howlers were already in place.  Her father looked confused as he waited.

 

 

"What's wrong, Karl?  You expected something to happen?  We came prepared, and they have already taken your warriors down."  As she finished speaking, they heard wolves coming from the surrounding forest, some in wolf form and some in human form.  From the look on her dad's face, he knew his warriors weren't going to help him.

 

 

"Did you really think you would be able to defeat the Shadow Howlers?  This is what we do.  Now Karl and Anara, your daughter, and I have some questions for you." Gunnar said, stepping forward.  Karl started backing up, but one of the warriors was there and stopped him.  Bianca led everyone to her father's office, where Gunnar sat behind the desk with her on his lap.  Karl looked ready to blow when he was forced to sit in a chair in front of his own desk.

 

 

"We don't have to say anything to you.  You have no right to be here.  I don't care what my little bitch of a daughter told you." He said angrily while glaring at Bianca.  At one time, that may have frightened her, but not anymore.  

 

 

"I beg to differ.  We have evidence of all your crimes, which will be turned over to King Zaiden.  We're here on his behalf to put an end to this pack.  Everyone involved in these horrendous crimes will be placed in the dungeons until the king decides what to do with you."  Karl looked at Gunnar, completely ignoring Bianca.  Anara stared at her daughter.  For the first time, Bianca saw how cold her mom's eyes were.  

 

 

"Mom, why did you do it?  Did you know they killed Trisha's parents and their whole pack?"  When Anara looked away, Bianca had her answer.  There was a piece of her hoping that her mother didn't know what was happening.  Karl laughed loudly with no humor.

 

 

"You're asking if she knew?  That's the wrong question.  Why don't you ask her why we attached that pack?"  Bianca and Gunnar looked at Anara for an answer.

 

 

"What's he talking about?" Bianca asked.  

 

 

"I wanted a child and was unable to get pregnant, so I asked your father to get me one.  Trisha was perfect, and I wanted her.  He said the only way to do it was to kill the whole pack so no one would come looking for her.  I didn't care as long as I got her.  They didn't kill any of the other pups.  They sold them."  Bianca and Gunnar stared at Anara in disbelief.  She spoke as though she asked Karl to take out the trash, not kill an entire pack, so she could have one of their pups.

 

 

"You're sick.  Am I your daughter, or did you do the same thing with my family?" She asked.  Karl answered this time.

 

 

"You're ours, but it would have been better if we killed you when you were born.  You were always too nosy and didn't know your place.  If everything had worked out like it was supposed to, I would have been able to have a son, but after she had you, we couldn't have any more pups.  So I was stuck with a worthless daughter."  Bianca felt Gunnar getting ready to go after Karl, so she put her hand on his arm and shook her head.

 

 

"The only pieces of worthless trash are sitting across from me.  I think we're done here."  She said, with hatred dripping off every word.  Karl started laughing.

 

 

"Girl, you better watch your mouth.  You don't have a say in anything done to me, and your mate doesn't take orders from you.  You aren't good for anything other than spreading your legs and giving him pups." Gunnar was done listening to him disrespect his mate.  He lifted her off his lap and kissed her forehead before going behind Karl's chair.

 

 

"No one will ever speak to my luna like that again.  Do I make myself clear?" He asked, looking down at Karl, who rolled his eyes.

 

 

"She's got you whipped already, huh?  Well, hopefully, she's a better breeder than her mother was," Anara gasped as Gunnar reached down and grabbed Karl by his hair.  He lifted him straight out of

the chair like he was a rag doll.

 

 

"I said no one would disrespect my luna again." Gunnar carried him outside by his hair and threw him off the porch.  When he landed, there was a loud crack, and Karl screamed in pain.  His wolf healing would fix whatever broke quickly, but the initial pain was still felt.

 

 

"Lock that bastard up and give him no food or water until we hear from the king.  Put his mate in a cell as well." One of the warriors pushed Anara toward the dungeons.  She didn't even have the audacity to cry.  Bianca stopped them.

 

 

"Don't you feel guilty at all for what you've done?"   She asked her mother.  Anara laughed.

 

 

"Feel guilty for what?  I got what I wanted.  Who cares about anyone else.  Humans have no value other than to be sold.  Smaller packs are insignificant and should be eliminated." The warrior dragged her away as she laughed hysterically.  Bianca felt sick watching her.  Everything started falling into place.  Little things that she'd noticed over the years but ignored.  

 

 

"I can't believe she was just as bad if not worse than Karl," Bianca said as Gunnar came to her side.

 

 

"I'm sorry you had to be with them as long as you were." She turned around and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest so she could take in his calming scent. 

 

 

"Don't apologize.  I'm just glad we were able to stop them, and we can protect Trisha.  Can we return the omega, who witnessed what they were doing, to her pack?"  Gunnar nodded.  

 

 

Sorting out Last Moon's mess would take days if not weeks.  Everyone was locked in the dungeons, with the exception of the pups and some of the women.  Those who weren't locked up were allowed to stay in their homes, but they couldn't leave the pack lands until the king came and decided what to do with them.

 

 

"Let's go home.  I'm leaving guards here to make sure no one comes in, and no one tries to leave.  It's been a long day."  Bianca smiled up at Gunnar.

 

 

"Yes, it's been a long day.  It's time I show my mate just how much I appreciate him and everything he's done for me." Gunnar leaned down and kissed her.  When he pulled away, they headed toward the jeep.

 

 

"I won't say no to that.  As tired as we are, I think this is going to be an eventful night." Bianca couldn't help the giggle that escaped her lips.  Despite everything that had happened today, she'd never felt better.  At least they had put a stop to the disgusting deeds of the pack.  She also knew the real work was only just beginning.  They would need to track down those who were sold and hopefully reunite them with their families.  They would focus on that tomorrow.  Tonight was going to be a night to remember.

  • The Shadow Howlers   Epilogue

    One Year Later Gunnar and Bianca smiled as they watched Trisha and Polly talking with their brother as though he could respond. Ashton was a little over six months old. He had Gunnar's black hair and Bianca's hazel eyes. His sisters already spoiled him rotten. "Are you girls ready to go?" Bianca asked them. They were going to the palace. It was the first time that everyone who had been involved in the fight would all be together again with their little ones. "Yes. We can't wait to see all the babies," Polly said excitedly. Bianca picked up Ashton, changed his diaper, and put him in his car seat. "Knock, knock," Alani said as she walked into the room, followed by Omar carrying their son Phoenix. "Hi, little guy," Trisha said when Omar squatted down so she and Polly could kiss his cheeks. They had become the big sisters to everyone's little ones. Even though the entire group hadn't been all together, they had all met each other's children. A few minutes later, they were head

    Eris quickly made Polly and Trisha visible again, so they could see where they were. What everyone saw made them pause before running to their aid. Achyls was holding each of the pup's arms, but her hands on them seemed to be melting as she screamed in pain. Polly and Trisha stood together holding hands as Achyls fell to her knees. Nyx, Sabnac, and Eris got to them before anyone else. Sabnac pulled out a small bag of poison that he had made especially for Achyls and sprinkled it on her head. Eris removed her melted hands from the pups while Nyx grabbed Achyls and flew into the air with her. The poison Sabnac put on her paralyzed her. "Selena and Zaiden, throw one of your fireballs when I release her," Nyx said. "You can't kill me. I'm indestructible." Achyls yells. Her body was paralyzed, but her voice wasn't. "That's where you're wrong. With everyone I created, I ensured there was a way to kill them. That includes you. I promise it's going to hurt a lot." Nyx held Achyls awa

    Gunnar, Bianca, the guards, and the warriors all shifted into their wolves and ran into the crowd of witches. Helios, Hermes, Nyx, Eris, and Sabnac ran with the wolves and used their magic on the witches. Some of the witches froze when they realized they were fighting gods and goddesses. They knew their magic wouldn't be able to defeat them. Selena and Zaiden stayed next to each other. From what Leto had said their powers would be stronger if they were together. They used their power to take out one witch at a time by throwing small balls of fire at them that turned them into ash instantly. Achyls stayed back to watch, but she was getting angrier and angrier as the witches were defeated. Polly and Trisha watched everything while holding hands. They wanted to help, but they would never disobey their parents. They watched their mom and dad's wolves attack one witch after another. Omar and Alani's wolves were ripping off the witch's heads as were the guards and other warriors.

    Achyls looked around at all her witches. They had come quickly, just like she knew they would. She hadn't told them what the plan was yet because she didn't want them to chicken out. She had seen Sabnac arrive and had to admit it caused her to have doubts about her plans. However, when she realized that he was now a big pushover she thought it was going to be a piece of cake to get rid of them all. Nyx she planned to save for last. She prepared the lie she would tell the witches to do what she wanted. "Thank you all for coming. We have a special task. It has come to my attention that the people who live at the lycan palace plan to eliminate all witches. We must stop them. They have many people who are planning to help them, some with powers that can rival ours. Don't be scared. We have the power of dark magic on our side. If they know anything about us then they should know that we don't play fair. I want you to use every spell and trick you know on them. We will leave as the sun

    “What do you mean, they have the mark of the goddesses?” Gunnar asked as he and Bianca squatted down next to Sabnac and looked into Trisha's and Polly's eyes. “Stare into their pupils. Do you see the gold flickering?” He asked. Bianca gasped as she stared into Trisha’s eyes. She’d never noticed that before. Gunnar was stunned when he saw the same thing in Polly’s eyes. “What does this mean?” Bianca asked. Polly and Trisha looked at Sabnac in confusion. “We aren’t pups?” Polly asked him. He chuckled a deep chuckle and everyone around him looked in disbelief at the demon. No one had thought they'd see a demon like him laugh. “You’re still pups, but you’re very special pups. A goddess sent you here. I don’t know who or why, but someone sent you to Earth. That’s why you both are so mature for your age and have good instincts.” He explained. “How do you know so much about this?” Alani asked.

    Jameson received a mindlink from Psyche that Sabnac was coming to help them. He couldn’t help the ripple of fear that ran down his spine. That demon was one scary man, but if Psyche trusted him with Selena, then he figured they should give him a chance. “Psyche just mindlinked me and said Sabnac is coming to help. He should be here soon.” Nyx, Helios, Andrew, and Hermes all gasped in surprise. “Who is Sabnac?” Selena asked. They were in the office trying to come up with a plan of attack. “He’s one of the scariest demons in the underworld. He and Psyche trust each other, though. He's the one who killed her sisters.” No sooner did Jameson finish speaking than there was a loud knock on the front door. “That’s probably him now,” Andrew said as they all stood up, left the office, and went to the front door. Polly and Trisha stayed in front of Selena. They wanted to see the demon for themselves before they tru
