"Two broken ribs, 11 gun shot wounds, and a broken arm." Rosa informs me. I shake my head in disbelief and suddenly a growl echoes through the room.

"What is it Blake?" Shade murmurs with a sigh.

"Last I checked, Blake was my former mate," I growl. Shade's eyes shoot open and she looks at me, stunned.

"How did I get here?" She questions, her eyes darting around the room in confusion.

"We kidnapped you," I say with an amused smile. She shakes her head and chuckles lightly.

"Of course you did," she smiles. I see her try to sit up and rush to her side.

She tries to wave me away but I help her anyway.

"We need to initiate you into the pack, we only have another hour before the full moon is over, and then we will have to wait another month," I tell her.

"Okay, lets go," she says and tries to get off the bed.

"Damn it Shade!" I growl when she collapses into my arms with a yelp of pain. I pick her up bridal style and place her back into the bed.

"Rosa is going to rewrap your wounds and then you will come outside, understood?" I ask Shade, my voice serious. She looks at me with wide eyes before nodding.

I turn and walk out of the room. I head to the main clearing to find Derek. He is talking to Maya by the bonfire.

"Hey, Maya, mind if I borrow him for a moment?" I ask jerking my head towards my brother.

"Of course not Alpha," she smiles and bows her head. I nod and lead Derek away from everyone else.

"We need to do the initiation ceremony. I want you to be my Beta, and Jace will be my third. I want to put Maya as head warrior," I inform him.

"That's a great idea. I will go get Aiden and Camryn since they haven't been initiated into the pack yet," he says. I nod and he leaves, heading towards the pack house.

The moon is high in the dark sky, and casts an eerie light across the forest. During the attack, we had only seven injured, and two dead.

We had the element of surprise, so we had an advantage. I remember the Lycan we took and head towards the prison to see her.

The two guards step aside for me to enter, and I jog down the stairs. I find her in the solitary cells, growling and throwing herself against the bars.

I nod to the guard to have it opened, and he calls down the hall. A clicking sound and the girl throws herself against the door once more only to fly past it and hit the cell across the hall.

I bite back a smile, and watch her turn towards me slowly. She was a rouge, but she is strong and does not look much like one.

"Who the hell are you?" She growls.

"Guess," I deadpan, crossing my arms over my chest.

"The queen bitch?" She snorts.

"Sure, if that's what they are calling female Alphas these days," I smirk. Her green eyes widen for a moment before narrowing.

"You're Raven?" She asks.

"Yes, now, what is your name?"

"Eclipse Wolf," she says, peering at me curiously.

"Now tell me why you were Blake's pack prison?" I ask her.

"He killed my pack, I'm the only one left," she shrugs.

"Okay, can you tell me what happened with Shade exactly?"

*************

"We need to do this quickly! Our time is up in only thirty minutes," I announce to the pack.

They all nod and Eclipse walks onto the rock in front of me. I use it as a stage since it is relatively flat, and off to the side of the main clearing.

I turn to face Eclipse and give her a small smile.

"Repeat after me. Pack polliceor hoc duce servire Alpha et pugnate pro sanguine maculare dum terra," I say in Latin. She repeats it and I take out my silver dagger.

I slide it across my palm before handing it to Eclipse. She doesn't even flinch as blood well up from the cut she made.

I hold out my bleeding hand, and she places her bleeding palm on top of mine. She gasps as energy from the pack flows into her.

"Damn this pack is powerful," she mutters handing me back the dagger. I smirk and Camryn and Aiden walk up next.

I do the same that I did with Eclipse, before initiating Rosa as the official pack doctor. Jace and Derek's ceremonies pass fairly quickly, and I see I only have a minute to do Shade's.

Derek helps her into the rock, and allows her to lean on him.

"Repeat after me, polliceor hoc pack ducem alpha servire dum iuxta terram sanguine maculare cadauer," I say to Shade.

She repeats it after me, and I cut my palm again once it had already healed. Shade cuts her hand as well, before placing it on top of mine.

I hear a sharp intake of air, and she looks down to her bandages stomach, otherwise bare. She puts her hand over her wounds, and looks up at me in shock.

I smile and take Derek's place in helping her back to the hospital. Rosa comes in to check on her wounds, to find that they are healing faster than normal.

"What the hell?" Shade wonders in confusion.

"The strength of the pack determines the strength of the Alpha. Being the Alpha of this pack made you much stronger, including your ability to heal," I shrug.

"Wow," Rosa mutters looking over Shade's injuries.

"Can she come home?" I ask Rosa.

"Yes, she should be fine. I want you to come and see me in the morning," Rosa turns to Shade with a warning look.

"I will," she shrugs. Rosa gives her a stupid look.

"Okay, I promise, there happy?" She growls lightly. I bite my lip to stop a laugh and turn to leave.

Shade follows behind me and we head home. I go straight to my bedroom and take a shower to wash Shade's blood off my body.

I put on a sports bra and shorts and slip under the silk sheets of my bed. I close my eyes and let myself drift into darkness.

***************

Everything is dark, not even a werewolf would be able to see. I see a flash of lightning, giving me a quick view of my surroundings.

A gasp escapes my throat at the mountain of bodies in front of me. Another flash, and I see I am standing on a mountain too.

Blood covers my face, thick and hot, I start choking. Another flash of light, Shade stands atop the other pile of bodies, blood covering her body.

I try to move towards her, but my wrists are locked behind me, a chain descending into the endless mass of bodies. I recognize the dead faces of my brother, Jace, Eclipse, and my other pack members.

A scream fills my ears and I see Shade with a silver dagger in her neck, my silver dagger. I call out to her, but hear nothing.

Her silver and gold eyes meet mine, filled with fear and sadness. She says something but I can't hear her over the sudden wailing that fills the air.

My eyes dart around in panic, but it is coming from all directions. A hand grabs my arm, and I see my father, blood flowing from a bite on his neck, and a bloody grin plastered across his face.

I jerk my arm away, and snap the chain. I break my hands free of the chains and jump off the mountain of bodies.

I fall into darkness and land in something burning hot. I scream as the liquid burns my skin.

It covers my face, and chokes me. The metallic taste of blood fills my mouth, and I breathe it into my lungs in my panic.

Coughing and sputtering I feel my head slip under the surface. I scream as blood fills my ears, eyes, nose, and my mouth.

My heart slows and I gasp for breath, only to suck in thick, hot blood. Everything suddenly goes black, and when I open my eyes, I find myself back in my bedroom.

I sigh in relief and sit up, walking to my bathroom. I splash water on my face to remove the remnants of the nightmare.

I take a deep breath and look up into the mirror. A scream escapes my mouth as a faceless figure appears behind me.

No eyes, no mouth, it reaches out and grabs my throat. It lifts me into the air and I grab at its hand, only to have it slip through.

The hand tightens around my neck, but my hands go straight through the faceless figure. Black spots flood my vision, and suddenly the figure turns into a grinning Shade.

"Karma's a bitch, this is for all the people you killed," she hisses and slams me against the wall.

My legs flail and my hands grab at my own throat. My eyes go wide when Shade grins, and jerk her hand. I hear the crack as my neck snaps before everything goes black.

**************

My eyes fly open with a scream and I see the dark sky. I feel air rush past me as I fall, and the scream stops in my throat when I hit the ground hard.

A sickening crack echoes in my ears, and I can no longer feel my legs. My head has hit a rock, and I can feel the blood that seeps from it.

I gasp for air, but the breath was knocked out of me. I look around as I try to regain my senses. I am in the middle of the forest, and it is not even dawn yet.

I feel a slight pain in my back, and realize that it is broken, and I did something to my head too. A figure suddenly runs towards me, I recognize Shade.

I feel myself cringe in remembrance of my dream, but otherwise stay still as she falls to my side.

"What the hell happened Raven? I heard you scream," she says, panic in her voice.

"I have been sleepwalking again, and my nightmares are back. I woke up in the top of the tree and fell, I broke my back. My head also hit a rock, and I think I cracked my skull," I say with a wince.

"We need to get you to Rosa," she says looking at my body. I have scratches on my exposed stomach and arms.

"I can't move, I'll be fine, it'll heal in a few minutes," I sigh.

"I can't believe this, you get hurt no matter what you're doing," she say exasperated. I roll my eyes and feel around the back of my head.

My hand comes back bloody, but the wound is healing. I sigh and slowly regain feeling in my legs.

"Okay, I'm good," I say and let Shade help me to my tingling feet. I groan and hold my head that is pounding now.

I take a deep breath and start walking back towards the pack. We are a mile into the forest, and it takes us only a few minutes to reach the house again.

Shade says good night to me and heads to bed, but I go to the training center. I walk towards one of our heavier bags, 1300 pounds.

I'm not paying attention to my surroundings, so I don't even notice the destroyed 950 pound punching bag across the room.

I punch my bag fairly lightly, wanting to get my anger out before breaking it. My mind keeps replaying the nightmare over and over again.

Lately I've been having so many nightmares and sleepless nights, I'm afraid to go to bed anymore. Every night it is something new, but it always ends with me dying at the hands of someone I know.

What the hell is happening to me?
