Meditation is one of the most popular forms of complimentary therapy for mental, emotional, and physical conditions on the planet. And when it comes to PTSD, its effectiveness is no different. Meditations can help with things such as reducing stress levels and improving sleep. Science and medicine are on the side of meditation. But even if you’re still skeptical, what do you have to lose?

Suddenly there came from outside a lot of loud shouting, hooting, and hollering. Damian looked out the window, and the Tucci covenant was up in the field, and Elijah was right. There were approximately 40 of them. “Alright...” said Damian. “Jane, Ariel, John, Michael, Jack, Gabriel, and Ash let’s go. Paul, lets hold a perimeter until The Morachis arrive." They all went outside and the pack shape-shifted. Damian led them to the edge of the field and formed a line with the pack. Billy shouted. “Vanburg I’ve no beef with you. This is between me and The Morachis."

Damian headed for the birthing room with Ariel. Right away Damian knew something wasn’t right. Mary’s character was like that of his covenant's birthing mothers that have been impregnated by a vampire. Damian laid his hand on Mary’s belly. He could feel the hard kicking. This poor girl was beaten and bruised up and apparently had no blood in her diet. She must have been suffering and going through this alone.

“Well that was fast.” Said Damian. Paul responded, “It didn’t take much tracking. An easy find for me and my pack. There are five male vampires and they’re down by coconut creek. Approximately six miles north from your place. They have set up a little camping area. What do you want to do? Set up a surprise attack?” 

Damian shared Alyssa’s visions out loud. "Apparently, the vampire that we killed was from the Bodescu covenant. It turns out that they want revenge and to wipe my covenant out of existence. There is no telling how many are in their covenant.” Ariel was the first to speak. “Is there no one in control over the covenants? Someone who is the judge and jury? Someone who can stop this nonsense?”

Damian saw the vampire in charge right away, but he was completely surrounded by newborns, which were clearly out of control while looking for blood and their next victim. "We will have to wait for a moment that he’s alone, and it’ll only be for a split second," said Damian. "Whoever sees it first, go in for the kill." Hours had passed, and the newborns still made it impossible.

Damian was about to call it a day and end the hunt when he saw Ariel lock eyes on a rare predator...the werewolf. He shouted, "Ariel, No"! Simultaneously, Ariel was in mid-air and came to an immediate standstill when she heard a whimper sound followed by a voice "No, Stop! I’m Ashford”. Confused, Ariel looked to Damian for answers. Ariel discovered the shape shifters that day and how much their clan would need them in their lives. Two vampires mates were out on a rampage and had gotten the fever to kill humans whenever a new Half Vampire/Half Man was born.

Ariel couldn't move her lower legs, and although she wanted to open her eyes, they would not. Was she even conscious? This must all be a dream. But she could hear cars, horns, buses, and people passing. Surely they must see her? It was all Gabriel Stones fault, or was it?
