Blood (Book Three of the Dark Lycans Series)

Chapter Three: Lies

"To prove your worth as Alpha," I tell her. She nods her head and shifts her weight.

"But I need to tell you something first." My eyebrows scrunch up in confusion, and I give her a strange look.

"You did not kill all of the Lunar Howlers Pack, there was one that got away, one," she whispers. My confusion only grows.

"What do you mean? I remember killing everyone," I say with a slight growl. I still remember the face of everyone I killed, and how I killed them. She shakes her head.

"Just, forget I ever said anything. Oh, do you still have the dagger you used with you?" She asks. I bite my lip in thought, before nodding.

I found my bag of weapons on the border of the pack several weeks ago, my best guess was that Jackson or Jinx had left it there.

I take it off of my weapons belt and hand it to her. She takes the handle and brings it up to her eyes.

"Long time no see?" I hear her whisper quietly before removing the hair from her neck. My eyes catch onto a small scar on the left side of her neck. She suddenly brings the knife to her neck and I panic.

"What the fuck are you doing? Give that thing back to me?!" I shriek grabbing for the dagger. She slaps my hand away and gives me a stupid look.

"Calm down, I'm not going to slit my own throat, just look at the match," she says comparing the blade to her scar. I look at the match with wide eyes, but she just drugs and tosses it back to me.

"I'm sure its only a coincidence that they match," she sighs walking up the stairs to her room. I feel so confused right now as I twirl the blade in my hands.

There is only one thing she could have meant, did I make that scar? I think to myself sadly.

Well, think about the ones you killed with that dagger, Ira tells me. I raise my eyebrow at how helpful she's being.

As I walk out the front door I do as she says. I can only think of one girl with white hair that I killed.

I had stabbed her in the neck, but I was always confused about that. I just kill however I feel at the time, but with that girl I didn't want to stab her somewhere that she would die immediately.

I can't remember why, but I have a feeling that it has something to do with Shade.

She'll tell me when she's ready, I decide with a sigh.

I think you already know, Ira snorts.

There's the lycan I'm used to, I shake my head with a chuckle.

She growls playfully and I walk down the path. I walk through the trees to the area where I had Lycans building a new house. The head builder was Garren, he was very smart, and a great builder.

I see him watching over the construction of the new house, shouting orders every few minutes. He senses my approach and turns to me with a bow of his head.

"Alpha, to what do we owe the pleasure?" He asks.

"I need you to help me draw the layout of two new buildings," I tell him. He nods and grabs two blue sheets and a white pencil. There was a table in front of him with maps of the territory.

"May I ask what for?"

"Do you remember the giant lion that came while we were in the woods?" I ask with a smile. He was one of the people from the Arena that saw Madox.

"Yeah, and you never gave us much of an explanation either," he chuckles.

"My mother, May, and her sister Lily, you met them right?" I ask. He nods, most of the pack met them so they would not be killed for coming into the territory.
