I managed to regain my composure and I left the hospital and I went to go and find Uncle Ethan. He had called a pack meeting because of the explosion that night and as I was walking towards the meeting hall, I could see the sun starting to rise. I looked down at my arms and there was black soot all over me from the explosion and a little blood from cuts that I received when the building blew up. But nothing too serious. As soon as I walked into the meeting hall, I saw the whole pack sitting in there while Uncle Ethan and Aunt Esther were talking to them and dad was off to the side with the other Alpha’s and Luna’s from last night. I was going to stand at the back of the room until the meeting was over, but that didn’t work. Uncle Ethan saw me. “Meadow. You could have just mind linked your father. How is Ryley doing?” Uncle Ethan asked in front of the whole pack. I looked around at everyone and Lucas walked in behind me. I felt my heart pounding in my chest and I looked o

I could feel Lucas’ Alpha aura coming out as he was getting angry at the photo and the warriors were affected by it. But I wasn’t because I was of Alpha blood, so it didn’t affect me. But I looked around and saw what he was doing to the warriors and I put my hand on his arm to calm him down. I had to stop him from hurting the warriors. We needed them right now. Even though I knew that he wasn’t meaning it. It was the mate bond. He was already protective of me. And he would have reacted like that with any female that was his mate. It just happened to be me and I was the one being threatened by vampires. “Lucas. Can your pack spare you for a little while?” Dad asked. “Yeah. My Beta has everything under control.” Lucas said. “I’d like you to stay. I know that Meadow can take care of herself, but that little bit of extra protection can never go astray.” Dad said. “Absolutely.” Lucas said, without missing a beat. “Do I get a fucking say in this?” I asked. “No.” They both said i

I quickly finished dinner and I get up from the table and Lucas followed me. I wanted to get some fresh air so I went outside. “People are going to start thinking that you’re my new bodyguard.” I said. “I don’t care what they think.” Lucas said. “I’ve noticed.” I said. “If he’s not your bodyguard, then what is he?” Leo asked, walking out of the house behind us. “In case you haven’t noticed Leo, you’re not very welcome around here. Only your mother but she doesn’t count since my father is getting sick of her as well.” I said. “Then what is she still doing here?” He asked. “I’ve been asking myself the same thing for a long time.” I said. “I actually forgot how peaceful it was around here at night time. The boarding school was nothing like this.” He said. “You mean, no girls.” I said. “Don’t worry. I managed to find them.” I said. “I don’t doubt that.” I said. And he walked down closer to us. “So, the vampire war is getting pretty serious.” He said. “What do you

LUCAS POVAs I was sitting there holding Meadow’s hand, I could feel it start to get hotter and hotter. So I looked up at her and her face was getting really red.I felt her forehead and it was almost so hot that I couldn’t even touch it. Meadow’s eyes then rolled back into her head and she started having convulsions.I ran to the door and screamed for the doctor. He came running in with the nurses and they quickly got to work to try and stabilize her. Which wasn’t easy, the seizure wasn’t letting up. But when she finally stopped, they had to replace the breathing tube because she had pulled it out while she was convulsing. I was sitting out in the hall when her father arrived at the hospital and he looked into her room as she was surrounded by doctors and nurses. “What happened?” Mateo asked. “I don’t know. One minute she seemed alright and the next, she was convulsing.” I said. “What did that little bastard do to her?” Mateo asked. “He obviously tried to kill her again.” I s

####TRIGGER WARNING:TORTURE SCENES#### The closer I got to Leo, the more he started to struggle in his chair. The smoke and burn smell coming from his wrists that were tied with silver chains were evident. He was trying everything he could to get away from me, and I was taking my sweet ass time stalking closer to him. Making him sweat, making him panic, making him scared. For everything he has done to Meadow, that was the least I was going to do. I stopped right in front of him, looking down at the pathetic man sitting in front of me and I grinned at him. I steered to the left where there was a table of weapons laid out and I started looking over them all very carefully. I started walking along the table until I found the perfect tool that I wanted to use. A pair of pliers. I stalked back over to him and he was looking at Mateo and Beta Jude. But they were leaning against the bars of the cell, not saying or doing anything. “Where’s Amelia?” I asked. “I don’t know.” He s
