Chapter 92: The First Attack
Pack Members POV
Sarah Martinez felt her mate link snap like a rubber band breaking in her chest. She screamed, clutching at her heart as her husband David fell beside her on their kitchen floor. His eyes, once warm and loving, had turned totally black.
"David?" she whispered, reaching for him with shaking hands.
He looked at her with those terrible dark eyes and smiled coldly. "Not anymore."
All around Silver Peak, the same horror was happening. The Void Walkers had come in the night, but they weren’t striking randomly like before. They were hunting the strongest mated pairs first, breaking the ties that held the pack together.
In the nursery, Jenny Thompson watched in fear as her mate Tom walked toward her with black eyes. She held their baby girl close to her chest, backing against the wall.
"Please," she begged. "Tom, I know you’re in there somewhere. Fight them!"
The thing wearing Tom’s face laughed. "He can hear you crying for him. Isn’t that wonderful? He’s stuck inside, watching everything we do."
Jenny’s mate bond felt like it was being ripped apart from the inside. The pain was so bad she could barely stand. But she had to protect their baby.
Outside, pack members ran screaming through the streets. But there was nowhere to run. The possessed wolves moved with perfect harmony, like they were all controlled by one mind.
Elder Morris, who had been mated to his wife for sixty years, fell to his knees as she approached him with dead black eyes. Their bond, stronger than most wolves ever experienced, was being sucked away like water from a broken cup.
