Chapter 1
- Dagmar
- As I slowly wake, I feel a hand on mine. I open my eyes and look to my left to look in a pair of brown eyes that belong to one of my Squad members. Even though he has no clue as to what my nightmares are about, he knows that they hunt me.
- Everyone in my Squad knows they hunt me, but they are all clueless as to what they are about. Sitting up straight I squeeze his hand as a thank you.
- My head turns to my right, and I look into my Uncles eyes. His eyes reflect my feelings and we both know it will not get easier for me. I can feel Maddox’s eyes on me, even though he thinks I do not notice.
- I always know when he is watching me, it always makes my body tingle. Does he even realize what he is doing to me and my sanity?
- Let me introduce myself: My name is Dagmar and I am a 28-year-old Werewolf. Yes, that is right. I am a Werewolf.
- There are a few things about me, you need to understand. I am the daughter of an Alpha and I am a rare Werewolf. Why am I a rare Werewolf, well I am a female Alpha, and my Wolf is huge. Both are very uncommon for a she-wolf.
- Throughout history there have only been two recordings of a female Alpha. And no, I am not one on record. This has been kept a secret my entire life. If other Packs would have known, then my life would have been at risk.
- Alpha’s would have done anything to get their hands on me, so they could mark me when I would have become of age. Even though there probably would have been a few Alpha’s that would have marked me, regardless my age.
- Knowing this, you understand why it was never revealed to the Council.
- The pilot announces that we are about to land. Just a little longer and I would be home. It has been over 12 years that I was last here.
- I wish that I could have stayed at home, the only home I have known for the past twelve plus years. But I had to return, because we were finally able to track down the men from my nightmares.
- The faces that hunt me, in my sleep and while I am awake. My nightmares have nothing to do with myself or my Wolf. The scenes that hunt me are gruesome and heartbreaking. I lost everything that day, so did my Uncle and Alpha Maddox. We never talk about that day because it is too painful for all of us.
- Maddox
- From the corner of my eyes, I see Dagmar stir in her sleep. As the minutes pass her movement becomes more erratic and we all know she is having nightmares.
- Nightmares she has been having for years now. I am glad Marcus is beside her to grab her hand, I know it will calm her. It always calmed her if I held her hand whenever she had a nightmare.
- I would hold her after she woke and would just let her cry. Especially the first few years when she had them every night. I lock eyes with James, her Uncle, and I know he is as worried about her as I am.
- Listening to the pilot announcing our descent, I slightly turn my head to keep an eye on her. Making sure it is not too obvious that I am doing it.
- She looks so cute whipping the sleep from her eyes. In the meantime, I go over the intel on my laptop, maybe this time we will be lucky and actually find the reason of her nightmares.
- We will be heading to the place Dagmar grew up and I know it will not be easy for her going back there. For myself it will be hell as well, going back to the place where my future was taken from me.
- A future I might have again someday, if I ever find the courage to give in to my hunch. But I am afraid that day will never come. If only I knew what the near future held, then I might be able to do what I have been wanting to do for so long.
- Dagmar
- As the plane touches down, I start giving orders to my Squad members. We are of the plane in no time and head to the cars that are waiting for us. 4 black SUV’s are lined up and we all hup in.
- I get in the first SUV with Marcus, Carlos, and Daniel. My Uncle gets in the second SUV with Alpha Maddox and his Beta, Rico. Donnie gets behind the wheel in the third SUV with Matthew and Jenna. Chris gets in the last SUV with Matteo, Julian and Sam.
- Maddox informs us through the mind-link that we would be heading to the Black Moon Pack. They have formed an alliance with two other Packs; Crescent Moon Pack and Half Moon Pack.
- The alliance has been formed because of the Evil Moon Pack. Evil Moon Pack is the reason for my nightmares, they are the reason my life was turned upside down.
- They are the cause of a lot of misery and pain that faithful day. I shake my head to get rid of the thoughts that want to fill my mind.
- As the scenery passes us in a blur, all I see are bright green eyes. Eyes I have been trying to forget but cannot get rid of. Sometimes those eyes get replaced by dark eyes, eyes so deep brown they almost look black.
- Both sets of eyes torment me, and I cannot wait for the day to get them out of my head.
- “Dagmar”
- My Uncle says through the mind-link. “What is it, Uncle James?” I ask. “Are you okay, sweetheart? I know this can’t be easy for you.” Is his response.
- Turning my head to look out the window, I reply: “I’m okay. Do not worry about me. I’ll be fine.” Even though I know that the worst is yet to come.
- Thoughts start going through my mind: “Will I be able to defeat them? Will I be able to survive? Will I freeze, facing them? Will the squad survive?” So many different questions that I have no answer to right now.
- But I know one thing, I will do whatever I can to get my revenge. For my parents, my sister, and my Pack members. But most of all I want revenge for Maddox. He lost so much that day, his mate, and his unborn pup.
- Maddox
- After we get off the plane, I get in a SUV with James, my Gamma, and Rico, my Beta. “Will she be, okay?” Rico asks looking at me in the rearview mirror. “Only time can tell.” I respond.
- I mind-link the others and let them know that we are going to the Black Moon Pack. And that of two more Alpha’s, Alpha’s they formed an alliance with, will be there.
- Looking at the car in front of us, James and I can tell that Dagmar is battling her demons again. I cannot wait to put a stop to her nightmares, to give her the peace of mind she needs.
- Sometimes I wonder if the demons she battles are the men that took everything from both of us. Or her fear of what will happen when she is faced with them. Looking around I start to recognize my surroundings; I have only been here once and the beauty of the scenery stayed with me all these years.
- I remember how exited Gina was to see the Pack where James was from. How much she loved the scenery we drove past. And the awe on her face when she saw the mountains that showed us where the Blue Moon Packs territory was.
- I had to cut the visit short, because of an emergence back home. Gina and I decided she would stay, pack up our suitcases and fly home the next day. A decision I regret to this day because she did not come home alive. I thought that feeling her die was the worst feeling ever, but I was wrong.
- Finding out she was pregnant and that I would never meet my pup was an even more excruciating pain. Since that day, my Pack and I have been living for one thing; revenge.
