Four Or Dead Novels & Stories

The audio on the tablet kept playing. It clearly captured Susan ordering Ms. Thompson to feed Lucas “poisoned milk powder”. “Don’t let him live too long. After some time has passed, when no one’s asking, just say he got an infection and died. The manager stood on the side, fumbling to end the livestream. But she was stopped by Sam. “Ms. Thompson, don't rush to turn off the livestream. Let everyone see it. Let others see how you and Susan swap out Lucas and plan to kill him.”

The room froze. "They're both dead." Total silence.

DAWN’S POV I was seated in the throne room, watching as the elders and gammas of my pack whispered among themselves, unable to believe that their alpha was dead. I assured them that he was dead, but they demanded to see his body. "I want to see his body! How can we believe he is dead without seeing his body?" one of the gammas said, with a tinge of desperation in his voice. "You don't need to see his body. Trust me, he's dead," I replied with a cold tone, trying to hide my smile.

The shed is blanketed in thick darkness, and even with my werewolf senses, it is hard to make out anything in there except. Shit. I double over, emptying my breakfast and lunch on the ground in front of me. What I’ve seen should never exist, especially this close to the border. There are bodies piled on top of one another. About a hundred of them, maybe more. Flies buzz around the bodies and the stench… Fuck! That awful smell lets me know that no life exists within that wall. I try to reach my brother through the link, informing him of our findings. “Alpha.” I hear one of my men call and turn sharply towards him. “We found him.”

“That was only going to kill him. Maybe parts of you, but only small parts. Tiny little parts that would have also rejoiced in the bloodshed. Sure, Sweet Marie would have died, but Bloodthirsty Marie would have been born. And it would have been something . . . desirable. Something you wanted. Like putting your jaws to a bleeding throat. But this? This will kill all of you. It will kill your soul.” “I don’t care about my soul. I want to know if it will work.” “Don’t do it. Please don’t do it.” If he carried storms in his eyes, she carried desolation in hers. “Don’t you understand that I’m already dead?” “Marie.” “What else can be taken from me? You tell me that. What else can they take?” Lyle

I hovered around her, quietly watching this scene. I really did not understand. I was dead. What was the point of her doing all this? So that she could be moved by her own actions? Or was she trying to lighten her guilt? I realized that I did not know her at all. Even after my death, I still did not know her. It was not until the evening that Nate grimly kicked the door open and stuffed my urn into her arms. "I finally know why you and Jason are together. You two are equally nuts! Just get lost!"

“Three packs got attacked tonight.” My wolf stilled instantly. “What?” “Not normal attacks.” David lowered his voice. “Bodies displayed publicly. Symbols written with organs.” My grip tightened around the phone. “Same word everywhere,” he added quietly. I looked toward the floor again. God. The butler watched me carefully. “How many dead?” I asked. David exhaled heavily. “Over forty.” Forty. Something dark moved inside my chest immediately. My wolf snarled hard enough that my nails nearly shifted.

He frowned deeply and then moved to the next and the next before standing up. "They are dead." He announced. The word landed in the room heavily. I felt something drop right through my stomach at the word. "Dead?" I was shocked and unable to comprehend this information. "All four of them." Caius added. I shifted uncomfortably on the chair. "Dead? How can they be dead? They are vampires. They don't die from a fight like this. I have seen you guys fight even worse yet you're fine. You didn't do enough damage to cause this outcome of..." I diverted my gaze to the declared deceased bodies briefly "...death." I ended.

Perhaps she thinks her trick will work on me again. "Oh, at least I forgot." The familiar voice said it again. "You are not the only one here," he said, and I watched in amazement as some teens, probably the same age as me, emerged out of nowhere. "You are now forty in number. Only the last being alive will be granted the permission." The familiar voice clarified. "Before you begin," General Zod quickly added. "I must warn you, Rey Reed, that they had dark magic, and they wouldn't hesitate to kill you."
