Previously on Bayou Blood: The Awakening
Everything Derek and Olivia feared… is already happening in Everdale.
Morning breaks over the motel, but neither of them feels any safer. With Marsh kidnapped, a full moon rising, and the hive preparing for something larger than Bayou Mounds has ever seen, the clock is officially ticking.
Derek and Olivia arm up — silver rounds, Compound 47, rifles, and the M249 — knowing the mission ahead may be their last. There’s no backup coming. No police. No safety net. Just two soldiers walking toward a battlefield they didn’t choose.
Meanwhile… in Monica Scales’ mansion…
Dr. Marsh is compelled to develop a new serum — one designed to spread infection instantly.
One dose.
One touch.
Immediate transformation.
And tonight?
The pack gathers.
A bonfire at the edge of Everdale.
Dozens of infected.
Sheryl, Karen, Deborah — all standing beside Monica as she delivers a sermon meant for predators, not people.
When the moon rises, Everdale won’t be ready for what comes out of the trees.
Chapter Ten: Part Three is the final calm before an all-out war.
The hunt is about to begin, and this time, the pack is no longer hiding.
