We Need More Power Novels & Stories

Let them feel us before they saw us. Every night I thought about what “the power of a clan” really means. It isn’t just the number of men willing to kill for you. It isn’t even the money in the mattress. It’s the certainty in people’s minds that you will win. When a shopkeeper pays protection without arguing, when a rival steps aside rather than fight, when a policeman looks the other way—that’s power. And power rests on guns, yes, but also on the belief that tomorrow you’ll have more guns than anyone else. That belief has to be fed constantly, like a fire. Let it die down, and the cold creeps in fast.

tried to play Queen. "We need to go back," I said to Armano. "Back where?" "To the War Room. If the world won't trade with us, then we need to make our own world. We need to manufacture what we can't buy. But first..." I looked at the power lines running above the streets, humming with the electricity that was currently keeping the hospital generators running. "First," I said, a cold dread settling in my stomach. "We need to make sure the lights stay on. Because if the grid goes, the panic will turn into a stampede."

Power isn't about how many people you can kill. As your alpha, I will protect you the best that I can, but I will not kill if it's not needed. We are killing our own kind, and we don't even know what we're fighting for. Is it power or is it a gift that 1 of us may have? We don't deserve to be taken. I will protect those that stand beside me and fight for what actually is right. It is So easy to kill. Why not challenge yourself to forgive?

Jamie began " But she does. I don't even want to know how she got the powers, I just want to squash her like the rat that she is. I want to see her burn and I want to see Rhea burn alongside with her, I want to watch as the fire would lick their clothes and melt their skin. That is all I want right now" she finished. " That's why we need reenforcements, we need our legendary army to jjn forces with us and with the information we have been able to gather in our power, it should be a good defeat"

Was she really thinking… “Why not get that power for yourself? That way when you detach yourself from them permanently, the people that were supposed to be against you would be against them,” Holy shit. She had him on the edge of his fucking seat! How in the fuck had they not thought of that? “And how do you suggest we do that? There are countless families, how do we get all of them on our side?” “We simply offer them something the council can never give,” “Oh? And what might that be?”

Lachlan shoved Dan back, his own eyes flashing gold. "I haven't forgotten my promise," Lachlan growled. "Then prove it," Dan said, straightening his jacket. "We need power. Not the kind that comes from a title the council can take away, but the kind they cannot touch. Money. Political leverage. Influence outside the pack walls. If we turn that failing energy branch into a powerhouse, we control the city’s infrastructure. If we control the city, the council becomes irrelevant." Lachlan wiped the last of the cemetery mud from his hand. "We need allies. People who do not care about pack laws or werewolf traditions."

A few of the men chuckled. “While they celebrate their fragile democracy,” he continued, “we take what should’ve been ours years ago. We hit them where they’re weakest. Infrastructure. Power. Water. Communications.” One of the lieutenants nodded. “Sabotage?” “No,” Aiden replied. “Surgical precision. We don’t want chaos—we want control.” “And Vivianne?” someone asked. Aiden gave a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “She’s where she needs to be.” Lark spoke for the first time. “And if she fails?”

“And you believe that you can do that?” I squared my shoulders. "I know I can." Selene smirked. "Now we’re talking." Ethan sighed. “We’re going to need more than just muscle. We need a strategy. We need allies." Dorian nodded. "And we need to move fast."

Her eyes sparkled like stars. "Mate?" I asked. "Yes, I have heard that Alpha Aiden has invited a large number of young boys and girls from various packs. He wants our pack's boys to find their mates as soon as possible so that our pack can grow and we can become more powerful than before." What nonsense! My head shook. Increasing the number of people will only burden the resources and will not help us become more powerful. We should focus on making our members stronger than before. Putting the thought aside, I lifted my skirt and walked out of the room, followed by Dacy.

Logan told them. “Could be a power play.” Nathan said. “If they want to expand their territory into another state, why not try to take over that state’s biggest pack. One sure way to gain power.” “If they feel confident enough to try to take over our pack, then that must mean they feel they have the numbers to do so.” Lane said. “Like I said, anything is possible at this point. We just need to be ready for anything.” Logan said. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and looked at the time. It was 2:30 am.
