All Chapters of The Darkness Within : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Brandon's POV I don't know which was louder, the sound of the chains as I pull on them, or the sound of my growl as I tense every muscle while this bastard drags his claws across my stomach. My jaws snap as I lunge forward, aiming to take a chunk out of the side of his face when he gets a little too close. Unfortunately for me, the bastard was too fast, and he moved just out of reach and laughed at me. “Oh, you almost got me!” The bastard teased, laughing at me. I felt blood rolling down my sides from the cut his claw made from one hip bone to the other.I spit in his face, and he flinched forward as though he would punch me. I didn't give Mark the satisfaction of flinching away. That only seemed to piss him off and he growled as he extended his claws and dragged them from my right shoulder to my left hip. I gritted my teeth and tried not to make a sound. I succeeded until I felt the faint pain bouncing back from Leo. It broke me knowing he felt my pain as though it were his own. I

Third Person's POV As Grayson pulls into the driveway leading into Mark's pack, all of his men, following on foot, disperse, spreading out to surround the pack and invade as each person reaches their designated entry point. As Grayson reaches the gateless guardhouse, the guard scrambles to his feet and out of the building. Grayson doesn't bother slowing down; he continues driving past at 45 mph, nodding with a smile at the shocked guard as they drive past. “Good thing he didn't jump in front of you. For some reason, I don't think you would have stopped,” Tate said, looking back at the guard. Grayson's red eyes sparkled with mischief as he smirked at Tate. “Nope! Chunks of him would have been everywhere,” Grayson said, and Maverick laughed. “I like him,” Maverick said, nudging his thumb toward Grayson. Grayson flashed him a smile through the rear-view mirror. “Sweet! Does that mean we're best friends now? I don't want a chess set, I want checkers. That should be easier since the

Third Person's POVGrayson rushed out of the house with Maverick right behind him. Both were a little surprised to see a full war had broken out while they were inside.Grayson was surprised by how many warriors Mark had; it was more than he had thought this little pack had. Grayson only brought 400 men, and it looked like Mark had well over 400, outnumbering him. With the number of pack members they had, he didn't think they would have this many warriors. Not unless they kick out all their elderly and anyone else unable to fight, leaving only the warriors. With how twisted this pack seems to be, he wouldn't put it past them. Grayson's eyes immediately began to glow red, and ice danced in the wind, swirling around him. The king raises his hand as he creates a dagger out of ice and thrusts his hand forward. The dagger flies from his hand, landing square between the eyes of a wolf that had one of his men pinned. Grayson jumped from the porch and swiftly moved through the crowd. Ice fl

Third Person's POV Knowing the Omega was fast asleep, Brandon stopped in the hall bathroom for a quick shower. He didn't want his mate to see him like that–so dirty, covered in filth. Brandon dropped the blanket and stepped into the shower. He sighed the moment he felt the hot water against his skin. It felt so good.Brandon's head falls forward as the water beats down on his neck and upper back. His eyes closed, and images of Mark flashed in his head. He squeezes his eyes closed tighter, trying to force those images away. He opens his eyes, and for a moment, he's afraid to look down. He's afraid of what he'll see… Brandon looks down and is surprised to see that the wounds have healed. His hands shake as he reaches up and touches his chest and stomach. He moves his hands and looks lower, once again surprised when he doesn't look red and raw down there. His hands close, clenching into fists. His eyes closed, and his chest stuttered, remembering what that bastard did to him. Mark wa

Maverick’s POV “Wait! Let's talk about this. I don't think this is a good idea,” I said, tugging on Coal's arm. “Oh, yes, it is! Grayson is going to shit himself! This is the perfect payback for all the times he's messed with me.” Coal said, a permanent smirk etched on his face. He couldn't wait to see Grayson's reaction. “Now, wait a minute. What exactly do you have in mind?” I asked, even though I was afraid to find out the answer. Coal looked at me, and his smirk deepened, making me wish I had never shown him Shade. “You know how he said he wanted to meet your wolf?”“Yeah.”“We're going to his office, and you're going to introduce him to shade.”“Wait! What? Right now? In his office?... Coal!” “What? Don't look at me like that! He's not going to kick you out!”“How do you know that? I'm a hellhound, not a damn angel!” Coal finally stopped and turned to face me. “He's not going to send you away! Look at how diverse our packs are! We have so many different people and shifters
