I apologize in advance for my crappy fight scenes. I just don't know how to make them "real". Also, cranking out the updates, lucky you.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Eight more chapters until the end.

My biological clock fluttered my eyes open facing the new day. I didn't bother looking at the time because the sky outside was beginning to fade from the pitch black night to a light hue of blues. The sun would be rising in an hour or so, and then I would meet with those who were willing to travel behind my lead and fight on my side. 

I didn't know what I was entirely up against today. Jimmy hadn't given me any leads or hints but rather insinuated that he would handle the nonexistent thereafter part of my plan. I sighed and willed my body to get out of bed. In my groggy haze I changed into  loose clothing; garments that were easy to slip in and out of. I kept my throwing knives sheathed carefully around my ankles and braced myself for any impact I would be taking today.

Don't you dare utilize that leech, my wolf hissed as she caught onto where my thoughts were wandering to. She wasn't pleased with my idea about becoming one with my other half so to speak. She thought the darkness of the vampire would consume my mind and swallow be into a pit of ravenous hunger. 

No one knows what we can do, they won't be expecting it, I attempted to explain to her how this could potentially give us the upper hand but I felt her only become miff. 

She argued that the power and taste of darkness would only tantalize my head to the point where I couldn't get enough of the feeling. She feared I would only become absorbed into a world of crazed power hungry fools. I assured her otherwise that I knew how to control it but her silence only told me she was giving up regardless of what she thinks. 

can handle it though. If I didn't think I was capable of taming my darker half then I wouldn't have brought up the damned idea. I truly believed it was the edge that we needed to throw the others off. I was nothing Hunters had ever encountered before so they wouldn't have a single clue on how to react to any of my advances. I, afterall had all the power of both wolf and vampire combined giving me superiority over the every species. 

Hunters more than likely take vervain, don't think you can compel them, my wolf sneered. She was right though, compulsion was a tricky matter. I could attempt to compel and twist the inner clockwork of their mind but what if the vervain stopped me? I mean, I wasn't exactly a vampire nor a fully fledged wolf so would vervain have any affect against my powers?

Cooper whistled through the mental link signalling it was go time. I broke off the conversation with my wolf to stride out of the empty house and to join the masses of wolves following behind my lead. Many were beginning to gather and clump into groups in front of my house and Cooper was making his way towards the front. His father was well acquainted with war planning and Cooper inherited some of that knowledge. I gave Cooper a simple nod to let him know he had the lead.

Onward we made our way toward the North entrance of the Kindgom where Hero and her followers were standing in perfectly aligned lines military style. Each of them were at ease, but looked ready to pounce at any given moment. Our wolves simpled huddled together watching Cooper and I with scrutinizing eyes.  

As Beta he naturally began barking orders left and right informing the group of our course of action. I listened tentatively because prior to this morning I didn't know much of our strategy. I left figuring out a proper attack plan to Cooper. Many of the wolves respected Cooper and listened with high regards. 

He eventually dvided all of us into three main groups that would be placed at various locations around the location. I sighed sadly when I realized he split the two of us up. Cooper was directly charging into the bunker and I was stuck lagging behind the other two groups. I gave him a sad look. This could potentially the las time I would see the blond shag of Cooper's head and his childish smile.
