WEREWOLVES vs VAMPIRES CHAPTER 7 - THE LINE
The morning of the attack dawned silent and still, a pale, cold sun bleeding into a steel-grey sky. The quiet felt wrong. It felt like the world was holding its breath. I stood in the center of the camp, my chosen nine wolves around me. Rylan, Jax, Fenna, Bor, and the others. They were checking straps, testing bowstrings, their breath fogging in the freezing air. They looked at me, waiting for the order to move out. They saw their future Alpha, ready for his first command. I saw the trust I was about to break. My father emerged from his lodge, fully armored in engraved leather and fur. He looked like a mountain carved into a man. He strode over, his gaze sweeping over my small force. “A lean group,” he said, his voice a low rumble. “But you chose for speed, not strength. A clever tactic for bait.” He put a heavy hand on my shoulder. “You hold the line, Kaelen. You make them believe the fight is on the bridge. Lure them in. Do not break. Do not pursue. Hold.” His eyes bore into mi
WEREWOLVES vs VAMPIRES CHAPTER 6 - THE HOWL
Dawn came, grey and bitter. I had not slept. The two paths ahead of me were clear, and both led to ruin.Path One: Tell my father everything. Save the Den. Betray Lyra. Watch as my pack hunts her down. Lose her forever, and live with the shame of my treason branded on my soul.Path Two: Stay silent. Let the attack on the Den happen. Let my people die. My mother. My pack. My world would burn, and the guilt would drown me. Lyra would be safe, but the boy she thought she knew would be dead, replaced by a ghost haunted by the screams of his family.There was no Path Three.. at least for now. I moved through the morning like a sleepwalker. At a weapons drill, I fumbled a simple parry. Rylan disarmed me with a sharp twist of his wrist, his practice sword pointing at my throat.“You’re dead,” he said flatly. He didn’t lower the sword. “What is wrong with you? Is it the bridge? Are you scared?”The word scared sparked something in the numb void inside me. I wasn’t scared of the bridge. I was
WEREWOLVES vs VAMPIRES CHAPTER 5 - LYING TO THE ALPHA KING
The ice in my veins spread to my stomach. Rylan’s eyes were dark, not angry yet, but searching. He knew I was lying.My mind spun. I could say I took a different path. I could say I saw a mountain lion and went tracking. But Rylan had known me since we were pups. He would hear the lie in my heartbeat.So I did the only thing I could. I told him a piece of the truth.“I was at the old tower,” I said, making my voice tired. “The broken one.”“The Dead Zone? Why?” Rylan’s suspicion sharpened. “That is neutral ground. Dangerous.”“I know.” I rubbed the back of my neck, looking past him. “I just… I needed to think. Away from everyone. The south ridge was just an excuse.”I braced myself for more questions. Why think there? What was so heavy you had to go to a ruin?But Rylan’s shoulders loosened just a little. “It is about your dad, is it not?”I blinked. “What?”“The pressure,” Rylan said, his voice dropping. “The whole ‘future Alpha’ thing. The lectures. I get it, Kaelen. It is a lot.” H
WEREWOLVES vs VAMPIRES CHAPTER 4 - TRAITOR OF THE WOLF PACK
Rylan gave me a long look but did not object. My father merely grunted his approval.The Sunken Bridge was an old, moss-covered stone arch over a river choked with slick ice. It was quiet. Eerily quiet.A perfect place for an ambush.I made a show of it. Sniffing the air. Kneeling to examine the ground on our side of the river.I pointed out faint, melted-out impressions in the mud that could have been boots. I showed Rylan a snapped branch at an odd height.“Could be nothing,” Rylan said, squinting. “Could be a stray deer.”“Or scouts,” I said, keeping my voice low and serious. “Testing the ground. The ice makes this bridge the only easy crossing path for miles. If they wanted to push east…”He caught my meaning. His easygoing face hardened into the face of a soldier.“We report it.”We did. My father listened, his arms crossed, as we stood in his lodge. When we finished, he was silent for a full minute, his gaze locked on me.“You have got a sharp eye lately, Kaelen,” he said finall
WEREWOLVES vs VAMPIRES CHAPTER 3 - HANGING ON THE EDGE
A wild, desperate hope flashed in me. I could say yes. A forbidden meeting with a girl from a rival wolf pack would be trouble, but it was a normal kind of trouble. It was a lie he might believe.But I could not make myself say it. I just stared at the swirling water.My silence was the answer. Rylan leaned back, his face closing off. “Fine. Keep your secrets. But whatever it is, it is making you weak. And a weak Alpha gets us all killed.”He got out and left me there. His words were worse than my father’s. They were true.The week dragged. The secret was a rock in my gut. I was failing my pack, lying to my best friend, and for what? An hour of conversation with a vampire who was probably just gathering information. The doubt was a poison.By the time the next meeting night came, I was half-convinced I should not go. This was suicide. For both of us.I went anyway.I was angry when I got to the tower. At her, at me, at the whole stupid world. She was waiting.“You are late again,” she
