*Amber*

I glare at Zombie as he continues. "At least Adis was a bit smarter when he showed up. He came with backup. Which, of course, didn’t matter in the end."

"You can’t play us against each other," I tell him angrily. "We all know where we stand."

"So Adis knows that you’re lacing fingers with Thorn?" I don’t answer him. Zombie clearly doesn’t know that Thorn is my brother. Christopher hasn’t told him, and this could end up being useful. "And what about you throwing yourself at Tjeck that way? Deeply worried about his health? Who knows what else I’ll dig up against you in the next couple of hours?"

"He’s my friend. Of course I’m worried about his health." How can he read more into that? I guess he doesn’t understand friendship.

"But what will Adis and Kattie say when they hear Tjeck sacrificed himself for you? He offered himself up in exchange for you, princess." Zombie’s eyes are serious. I can’t tell him, because I don’t have an answer.

  • The lost packs   And Amber’s

    *Amber* I glare at Zombie as he continues. "At least Adis was a bit smarter when he showed up. He came with backup. Which, of course, didn’t matter in the end." "You can’t play us against each other," I tell him angrily. "We all know where we stand." "So Adis knows that you’re lacing fingers with Thorn?" I don’t answer him.

  • The lost packs   Tjeck’s weakness

    *Amber* Even before I open my eyes, I locate the pain. I am alive. Death can't possibly hurt this much. As Zombie is likely the first thing I will see when I finally open my eyes, I wait. I am not in a hurry to do so. Instead, I focus on the pain. The left side of my head aches intensely. I am quite sure that both my ear and eye have taken some of the blow. It wasn’t a hand that hit me. The bullet wound in my right shoulder hurts much less now; the same can be said for the area graced by another bullet. A couple of ribs on my left side seem to have taken some blows, and my knee burns. I lay on something soft, feeling warm under a blanket, but the air is cool, and there is an uncomfortable humidity in the atmosphere. I have to pull myself together before I can open my eyes. I notice that my left eye is swollen when I finally open them. I am in a room with concrete walls, and I am alone. It isn’t until I sit up that I realize my wrists are tied together with a long chain fastene

  • The lost packs   Abducted

    *Amber* I walk home from school with Thorn, as the others have more tasks to complete before heading back. Thorn and I have just faced each other in the ring for the first time since fight night. We have both healed from our injuries, and we feel the need for training to release some pent-up energy. Our sparring session is just a regular training fight… controlled and not life-or-death. The match ends in a tie. Despite not holding back, neither of us emerges wounded like we did last time. It grows dark early, and I can sense the tension radiating from Thorn in waves. He holds a knife in one hand while the other rests protectively against my back. Sometimes I get to ride one of the motorbikes, but tonight Adis and Kattie have them. I understand Thorn’s nerves. Several of our strongest members have mysteriously vanished over the past few days, and it’s only a matter of time before someone in the leadership group becomes a target. My hand rests on my gun. The attack comes out of n

  • The lost packs   Date of war

    *Amber* Adis gathers us all in what he refers to as the command room at the school. He appoints Hope to oversee this space, along with a few other active young members who, while eager, are too young to engage directly in the conflict. In recent weeks, I haven't seen much of Adis; he has been preoccupied with preparing the bases and formulating plans. Now, he stands before us, embodying the Alpha he once was… the Alpha who had been nearly consumed by grief but has emerged resilient. "From here, everything will be monitored," he explains, his voice steady and authoritative. "All active members will be divided into groups of twenty-five. They will sleep, eat, and fight together. Kress, Tjeck, and I have mixed our members to ensure that all packs are represented within each group. Everyone must accept that any of us can lead them and issue orders. Everyone present here is given the title of captain. You will each take charge of a group as needed. Prepare yourselves; sleep and food wi

  • The lost packs   Keeping guard

    *Amber* Everywhere I look, I see preparations for war. The training facilities at Tjeck and Kress are being used much more than usual, and people keep helping and correcting each other, seeking their friends' advice. The safety protocols with The Eagles and The Stars have been heightened, and food and weapons are stored at both locations. These will be our bases during the war, and every member of The Shadows will move to one of them, where they can be easily protected and the enemy kept out. To my surprise, many people start asking for my advice. They stop me on the street, especially seeking tips on hand-to-hand combat. The worst part is that I can't really answer them. I can't pinpoint what made me win against Thorn, except that I managed to lock away the pain and ignore it, and that I refuse to give in, no matter how dire things look. I actually enjoy fighting instead of fearing it. Adis still fears that Clay will show up in the middle of the night to take revenge, s

  • The lost packs   Did he throw the fight?

    *Tjeck* Adis grabs me while Thorn and Amber say their goodbyes. I have a clear idea of what Thorn whispers in her ear, and I empathize with him. "I don't know whether to thank you or hate you," Adis says, looking at Amber and Thorn. "Seeing her like that... I can't believe he dared to do it." "He did what he had to do to elevate her position," I reply. "Amber is strong; she just needs the right push. We are going to war for her; they need to know that she will be fighting right alongside them." "You can't honestly think I'm going to let her participate actively in the war?" Adis shoots me a terrified glare. "You can't keep her out of it. She is going to insist on participating," I tell him. "She is a warrior, Adis, just like you and me." "I’m not going to tell her. I’ll find a way to make sure she stays inside one of our secure bases." The pain in his eyes reveals the reason behind this. He has lost once; he can’t bear to go through it again. "Just be careful you don't ho
