CHAPTER 76

Grayson immediately called a meeting for all of his warriors. They started gathering out the back of the packhouse and he went out there to meet them.

Sophia stayed in the house with the triplets, myself and Jacob. She looked just as worried as she looked at her boys.

"Alright. He can't kill what he can't replace." Sophia said.

"He always replaces what he's looking for. This guy is too good. I don't even know what he looks like. I don't know what species he is. No one does. That's the point. That's why they call him The Shadow. Because that's all anyone has ever seen of him. A f*****g shadow." I said, pacing around the room.

"I've never seen you look so worried before. How is that you know who The Shadow is but I don't? I trained you as a werewolf." Jacob said.

"Because you weren't with me all the time Jacob. I was warned about him. Owen, my vampire trainer, he's the one that actually told me about The Shadow. He showed me photos of what that bastard is capable of. And The Shadow knew about me. He left messages for me. In my room. While I slept. I never knew he was there. I never sensed him, I never heard him. He was taunting me. He was telling me that he could get to me at any time and I wouldn't even know that he was there." I said.

"That was while you were still training. It could be different now. You've gotten a lot better control of your powers now." Jacob said.

But I kept pacing the room while I shook my head.

I didn't believe that I was a match for this guy. I didn't know anything about him.

If I was going to go up against someone, I wanted to know everything about them. And this bastard was different. There was nothing to know about him.

"I think you all need to stay here at the packhouse." Sophia said.

"We can't. We can't let the pack know what's going on. They will worry. They will try to flee and

it will get them killed. We need to know who he's targeting." I said.

"Well, how are we going to replace that out?" Dean asked.

"We won't. Not until he attacks." I said.

We then heard the front door open and slam shut and Izzy barged into the dining room.

"What's going on in here?" She asked, thinking she was smart for catching us doing something that we shouldn't be.

She thought she was being really clever but she was just being nothing but a pain in the ass.

"Go home Izzy. This has nothing to do with you." Jacob said.

"I'm a part of this pack. My father is the Beta. I have a right to know." Izzy said.

"You're f*****g father isn't even here. If he doesn't need to know, then neither do you." I yelled. And she looked at me strangely before turning to look at the triplets.

"Are you going to let her talk to me like that?" Izzy asked.

"Of course they are. None of us have rejected each other yet which means they are always going to side with me. Get used to it." I snapped at her. But I was still pacing the room and chewing on my fingernails.

Sophia walked over to me and she grabbed my hands and pulled them away from my face and got me to stand still.

"Whatever this is, we aren't going to let anything happen to any of you. Do you understand me?" She asked. And I nodded my head.

Izzy then realized the seriousness of the situation and started questioning us about everything. I was getting so sick of tired of listening to her shrill voice that she always got when she was upset. It always got really high and very pitched and it was ringing in my head.

"Just do it." Maya said in my head.

So I turned around to look at Izzy who was still sitting at the table and I walked over to her and

punched her straight in the face.

I punched her with so much force that the chair fell back with her on it and when I looked down at her, she was out cold.

"Good. Now some peace and quiet." I said, sitting down.

"Jacob. Go lock her in the dungeon for a while. It'll teach her not to disobey us." Tyler said.

"Camila's down there. She'll start piecing s**t together if they start talking." I said.

"Don't worry. I'll put Izzy in the deep dark part of the cell where no one is ever put." Tyler said.

So Koda and Jacob took Izzy down to the dungeon and Dean explained to me that at the end of the dungeon there was another door that they could go through.

There were more cell's in that room but no one could get through the door unless they had a

key and it was pitch black in there once they turned the light out. It meant that Izzy and Camila won't even see each other.

When Grayson got back he explained that the warriors were apprised of the situation and the were going to be pulling double duties and he was doubling up on patrols until The Shadow it stopped. 

I didn't believe that he would be stopped. But I knew that I had to at least believe that they

were going to do everything they could.

If Ava hired this guy, then she knows something. Because if she has sent him after me, it

means that she doesn't plan on killing me during the war and making it look like an accident

She was just going to have me assassinated and then that was it. I would be out of the way, the guys would be heartbroken and Izzy would try to move in as the next Luna.

It was all too disturbing to think about in full. Even just the thought of Izzy being with my guys was driving me crazy. To the point that I wanted to go down to the dungeon and kill the b***h now. 

I must have been thinking a little too loudly without realizing it because Dean sat next to me

and he rested his hand on mine.

"Hey. Don't even worry about Izzy. Even if you're not here, she won't be either. We'll be killing her and her mother for what they've done." He assured me. And I nodded my head.

We couldn't come up with a plan that day except to increase patrols and try to replace out if anyone in the werewolf community had ever met the Shadow. And if we needed to, we'd ask the Supernatural Council who were also in the basement. But we weren't going to do that just yet. I didn't want to look at those assholes. And I said not to feed them for a few days or visit them. So Grayson has just had some warriors go down and make sure they are behaving themselves and trying not to escape.

I eventually walked back to my house and when I got there I saw another envelope but this time it was taped to my front door.

I pulled it off and I pulled out a dozen more missing persons fliers. But these ones are older than the ones that I've already got. Which means Ava has been kidnapping these women for longer than I realized.

I looked around to see if there was anyone hanging around that looked suspicious. Anyone who I thought could have put this envelope on my door, but there was no one.

There was hardly anyone out in the street. So I took it inside and locked the door.
