Chapter 41 - To feel the pain of losing his mate

"So what's the plan of action?" Bradley asked as they came to joined Sharon in her room. Queen Raquel looked at him and realised that everyone was looking at her, expecting her to know what to do. She swallowed and bit her lip. She squared her shoulders and tried to think of what Ricardo would do. "Bradley, you probably know more than I do about war tactics," she said. "You organise the lycans as you think best. Do whatever Gordon or Jonathan would expect you to do. We'll use Sharon's bedroom as a base."The male Lycans nodded their head, taking on an alert expression. "We'll stay on the lower floor. If anyone tries to come in we'll be ready for them. I know vampires can climb very easily so being upstairs isn't necessarily much safer than being down here, but at least if you're all in one room then that's only one place to be guarded."Plans set, the three men headed downstairs. Bradley set Sam and Theo to ensure as many windows and external doors which could be secured, were._____

Chapter 42 - The Battle Begins

Alexander watched Williams go and then strode into the forest. "Kill everyone," he ordered loudly. Vampires and humans began to run, blending into the trees as he hissed loudly, his talons growing to wicked points, his fangs dropping to graze his lips. "Here I come" he whispered softly. "Better start running now, dogs, because if I catch you I'm going to rip your fucking heart out."The vampires dropped from the trees so fast the first of Alexander' younglings went down without much of a fight. The defensive line ignored the humans, concentrating on keeping the attacking vampires away from the compound as instructed.Drew hissed and ripped the head from a youngling, his eyes burning with excitement as the fresh scent of blood filled the night air. The sounds of screaming began to fill the night as his red hair swayed in the wind. He dropped the dead vampire and launched himself at the next one coming at him. As he ripped out the man's throat his eyes were scanning the dark forest tryi

Chapter 43 - Everyone dies !

William watched the female lycan slide to the ground and smiled. He turned his cold gaze back to his task at hand. His prey was so close to him now. He laughed lightly and sprang upwards, crashing through the closed window.A sharp pain in his chest surprised him when he entered the room. His eyes fixed on Sharon and another woman standing close to the door before he looked down at the small hand sticking inside his chest. His head turned lazily to the right and met the eyes of a little brunette who was currently hissing at him like a little kitten. His lips curled into a small smile as he reached out and snapped her wrist cleanly in half.Raquel screamed as her wrist shattered. "Run!" she cried out in agony, her words cutting off as William large hand wrapped around her throat."William!" Sharon screamed, her voice thick with fear for Raquel as she watched her helplessly in his cruel grasp. "It's me you want, William. I'm here. Come and get me!"Raquel tried to scream at Sharon to r

Chapter 44 -Attack at the evacuation site.

Jim ran his eyes over the open ground of the evacuation site and tried to pierce the boundaries of the trees in the distance. He was looking for any sign of vampires. Not that he would see them if they were there. They could move so fast they would be on him before he had time to realise it if they chose . But still he looked because there was something so fundamentally arrogant about the bloodsuckers. They wanted you to see them coming. They were so sure of themselves that he wouldn't put it past them to slowly walk out of the trees and stroll casually towards the series of caves he was sitting in front of. The sight of three large wolves coming out of the trees brought his attention back to their immediate surroundings. The wolves raced over to the waiting lycan. All three shifted to human form and Jim noticed immediately their' anxious expressions."Vampires," one of them said tersely. "At least three scents. There could be more."Jim was stripping off his clothes, a deep frown on

Chapter 45 - Justice had been served.

Compt Valerio and King Ricardo stepped out of the house and strode into the centre of the empire compound, where Nathan was. In the short while they have notice Nathan, he was the only one who would keep calm in a situation like that and would not create fuss for nothing.Nathan shifted, his expression one of concern as he took in the cold blank mask surrounding the vampire's face. "What the is going on, King Ricardo?" he demanded." William managed to slip inside the building. Annabel almost died and Queen Raquel was badly wounded. Sharon shifted and hurt her leg but she's fine, just a bit confused on how to shift back. If you could send someone in to help her."Nathan nodded, clicking his fingers at the first available help and sending the man running inside the house with a quickly barked order. Nathan turned back to King Ricardo. "Is Sharon alright?" he asked quietly. King Ricardo's eyes locked with Nathan. "So, the gamma is secretly in love with his Empress. Interesting ! ". Ric

Chapter 46 - The mating

People moved about constantly into the night until silence began to descend on the empire. The vampires had removed all of Alexander' crew, the buses had rolled in from the evacuation site and families were reunited in the community hall. In total twenty one werewolves, six lycan and four vampires lost their lives. The losses seemed pretty low considering the odds stacked against the pack but it was still a crushing blow to Gordon. People had lost their mates, their sons and daughters, their brothers and sisters.The palace was empty of most of the pack now. Valerio had taken Anna home and Vale and Valerie had disappeared not long afterwards. The only vampires to remain in the compound were King Ricardo and his queen."We will forever be in your debt, King Ricardo. I know some of the pack have looked at you with unfriendly eyes tonight but it will pass. You will always be welcome here.""Thank you, Emperor Gordon," he said quietly, watching as he strode over to his mate who was sitting
