Thus, a problem that not only would lead to its end but also would affect the entire pack because they had to deliver the message of peace to the kingdom. As clear as that, the sense of responsibility towards this commitment grew strong enough for one of the warriors to feel stronger. That was Alexander, he saw that the whole team was completely disintegrating, which would mean defeat, so he was not going to let that happen. Therefore, he draws his sword and grips it with such force that his next move would be devastating.

VITTORIA’S POV Three days before the wedding, I was sitting in the library. Not hiding. Not lurking. Sitting, comfortably, curled into one of the leather lounge chairs with a book resting open in my hands. The Art of War. Sun Tzu had lived and died long before men like Nikolai De Luca ever learned to call themselves kings, but strategy never aged. Power never changed. Only the pieces on the board did. I liked ancient warfare texts. They were honest. They didn’t pretend victory came from morality or mercy. They understood what most people refused to admit, wars were won before the first blow was struck.

“Bad things like what? Tyler asked. Rose shook her head, “All you need to know is that I always cried anytime he hurt me, without realizing I was showing him how weak I was.” Tyler sipped the milk, his eyes fixed on her. “Don’t get me wrong. It’s okay to cry T. But don't cry in front of people who do bad things to you.” “What if they hurt me?” he asked softly. “You try to hold yourself. Bad people love taking advantage of weakness,” Rose explained. “What if they try to bully me?” “When any kid tries to bully you, don't fight. Stand up for yourself, just like Olivia did for you.”

"Seriously? You think only you alphas can be strategic thinkers? Anyone can learn this shit if they put in the effort and have access to the right materials." "What exactly did you read?" another elder asked, skepticism still dripping from his voice. "Everything," I said with a shrug. "The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of War, On War, and The Book of Five Rings. I even went through historical campaign texts, old border strategies, diplomatic conflicts. I've got them all memorized—every tactic, every major misstep made by arrogant leaders who thought their strength alone would save them." Their expressions slowly shifted from guarded disbelief to something resembling grudging respect. One leaned

“You talk about war, about violence and about our enemy as if it were nothing! Raen, this is very bad. It brings bad luck to bring these evil things to life by speaking of them. Take an example from our warriors. They never say a word about what they experienced, never! And there are no doubt very terrible incidents with which they come into contact. But thanks to their reluctance we are saved from experiencing them too. The warriors are our protective shield, that is their job. Do you understand Raen? We don't have to deal with these things. So finally stop wanting to talk about it. It's best to stop even thinking about it. That is only up to the warriors. The war is their only business! An

"Soon you'll understand what it feels like to lose everything. To have the people you trust become your enemies. To watch your world crumble." He picked up the photograph, studying Dante's young face. "You tried to bury me. But you forgot the most important lesson we learned together." His fingers traced the edge. "Dead men tell no tales. But ghosts? Ghosts come back to haunt you." Somewhere out there, Dante was probably holding Arabelle. Probably feeling safe. Probably forgetting that the most dangerous enemies aren't the ones you know about. They're the ones you've already left for dead. "Sweet dreams, brother." And in the darkness, his smile was terrible.

I like taking my time, that way, I can get used to the idea of living with Xander. Sitting behind the counter in the bookstore, I listen to Vincent talking to his cars while I place an order for new books. One of those books is The Art of War by Sun Tsu. I want to read it and see why Alexei loves it so much. My thoughts turn to the BBQ, and I must admit, I enjoyed it a lot. And Rosemarie was right. Everyone seemed pretty normal. I don’t know what I expected. Maybe guns and men smoking cigars while plotting the end of the world?

~~~~~~~~~~ BOOK OF BLOOD — NEW ENTRY “Legacy is not what you leave behind. It’s what you prevent.” “The best men don’t try to survive the war. They try to make sure their sons don’t have to fight it.” —Lorenzo

I spent almost the entire trip reading through one of the books Peter gave me about the first war. I wasn't a history buff but I knew enough about human history to know that war was one of the worst things a country could face, only I had never really stopped to consider the details. Sitting in the comfort and safety of Cole's car and reading about death and destruction had my body shivering with fear. The book spared no details. Whole chapters were devoted to recounting particular battles listing the deaths and the destruction that occurred and I swallowed hard as I considered that soon we would be going through all of that again. I had closed the book and let my eyes shut for the last twen

– I blurted out with an air of skepticism, almost spitting out the coffee I had just sipped in my mouth. - Relax… we are not going to burn down the lab or anything. Since your project also depends on him now, well, we need to guarantee he's kept alive. - She winked. - Right? - You have to outsmart him. War tactics also include playing the role of the silent, peaceful, lovely enemy, who is always ready for any attack. Preparation is everything, darling. It's half the war won. - Okay? - I must confess that there were times when Susie surprised me, or scared me. And that was one of them, and I just could not decide which was it this time. It could easily be both.
