The sky was full of shadows as the moon hid behind an ocean of clouds. There was no end or beginning to them. It didn't take long for me (and Brendon) to catch up with the pack. Our speed seemed to match as I remembered, I was one of the fastest wolves around. Brendon- an alpha was barely able to catch my tail as he followed. The pack was huge, but I had a feeling we were still outnumbered compared to Blacktail's pack. In size, Blacktail Growlers and the Everfur Howlers were massive packs. Our pack was just a few hundred heads short compared to them. It's funny to think that The Scarlet Knightwalkers was once two seperate packs. They must have been strong to be so few. And, then they took on Lamia and actually won. There must have been strong warriors in the packs. Because, even after defeating a vampire myself... I realize I was only able to do it because I had my k-9s and... Emmett was a fresh blood sucker. It was like killing an infant. He couldn't control his emotions or his own

Eloise, Issabella, Maeve, Jordan, Eli, Mateo, Issac, and Atlas stayed close to us. They were tense as they listened for any surprises. We made our way through a bedroom and into a hallway leading deep into the pack house. As soon as we stepped into the hall it was like a wall came down. We could hear war happening further in. The sounds of growling and screams echoed through the halls. Speaking of the halls... The halls were bright and the wall interior was very modern. So they weren't living like cave men. In fact their interior was a lot more expensive then ours. It put our pack house to shame. The amount of living space here doubled our pack's house. This was obvious to us now. Pack Blacktail Growlers aren't going down without a fight. I underestimated them. I should have known that they lured the vampires into their den. It was obvious from the outside guards. They lured them inside here because there would be an advantage. They knew these halls better and could easily c

Back to Vivienne's POV:I looked through a glass wall at a hospital style room. Their infirmary hall was similar to the one Romona held charge of at the pack house. Brendon was being treated with an IV drip. Monitors were keeping an eye on his heartbeat.'He wouldn't be there if it wasn't for how selfish I was. Of course I wanted to save this pack… but if I knew it would almost cost his life… I wouldn't not have persuaded him.''You cannot blame yourself,' Arwen told me quietly.'I want you to stay with him until he wakes up,' I told her. 'Let me know as soon as he does.''What will you do?''I am the only one awake. I have to deliver orders to our packmates.'I heard footsteps that broke me from my conversation with Arwen. I looked down the hall to see my father walking up to me in a fast pace. We were now in our human forms. The alpha of Blacktail Growlers was kind enough to provide us with clothes. We would only remai

Malakai's POV:"That leg of yours is looking better already," Romona, my step-mom told me as she examined it. "It's a good thing I wrote the book on herbs," she teased me and looked over her shoulder at my sister, Nena. "He's going to be okay," she assured my sister. Nena gave a huge sigh of relief. She's been squeezing a clip board the moment she entered the room."Nena," I chuckled out. "I'm fine," I promised her. "Why don't you go get an espresso? You look tired." I could see the bags forming under her eyes. She's been up for a couple of days no doubt. I wasn't her twin- but I could sense she was loosing sleep. Mom tightened her back up and looked towards Nena. Her hands busy wrapping my leg up. Looks like I will suffer just a little longer in bandages."Nena, go home and get some rest," mom sudden commanded. "Look at how tired you look. By the time you wake up your father and the rest of the pack will be home. You don't want to pass out right as they return,

Back To Vivienne's POV:Malakai's scent filled my nostrils. His delighted lungful of scent was something I forgot how much I enjoyed. Because Malakai was the only special beginning to my life. I once found him hard to sit with in a car ride... and now that's all I wanted. I wanted to go back to that first night we arrived at the pack house. I want to turn back the clock.I was hunting in a dark forest. The darkness alerted me I crossed over... once more. I was now on the other side. My heart ran fast. I didn't remember crossing over. I remember laying my head on Brendon's chest. I remember assuring myself... this was just shut eye."Mal?" I whispered out. My voice did not echo. In fact it was swallowed by a void."Vivienne," I heard a new voice rung in my ears. That wasn't Mal.No.. this was familiar."Fang?" I called out."FANG!" Once again.Silence echoed through the dark forest. There was no moon... no stars... no shadows. I
