Twenty two
Daniel was quiet as he walked back from the infirmary towards the pack house. Dusk had settled, casting cold blue light across the land, broken only by the warm light pouring out of the windows of homes and the few stores still open. No one was out though. It was just Daniel and his guilt.
"The DNA I found on the vial doesn't match the sample you gave me. There are no familial indicators either." Simon explained when the tests were in. "However, the traces of the contents are interesting. I've never seen a mixture like it before."
Kade wasn't the culprit.
If anything Kade had been right about a witch being involved. He had seen the clues before anyone else and Daniel had repaid him by suspecting him of attacking innocents.

It was closing in on midnight when Daniel and Eva finally got to be alone. The packhouse had been busy as usual but they also had been talking with Ethan and Bethan. Eva had noticed a vast difference between the siblings not only in age but also personality. Ethan was much more confident and outgoing. It was easy to see why he had a high ranking position in his pack. Bethan on the other hand was shy and quiet. She seemed to prefer blending into the background."What a day." Eva breathed as she shut the bedroom door."What a year more like." Daniel sighed.He sat on the edge of the bed, shoulders slumped and head down. His elbows rest on his thighs as tiredness and the pressures of being an Alpha caught up with him. He didn't regret taking over as Alpha, this was his destiny and he embraced it but the past few months had been a challenge and there seemed to be no end in sight.Eva moved quietly to kneel in front of Daniel, her hands cupping his face gently

The metallic scent of blood was so heavy that Daniel could almost taste it as he entered the infirmary. The sterile reception was empty save for a nurse at the reception desk and two warriors guarding the doors. The Alpha didn't need to ask for directions. He had been here a few times now since the attack but even then, the scent of blood worked as a perfect map.Turning the corner into the hall where the victims' room was situated, Daniel was greeted by nurses comforting each other, faces pale and haunted. Even the warriors standing around looked solemn and uneasy.Simone was waiting for him, her face pale and drawn with exhaustion. Smudges of blood decorated her scrubs but not much suggesting Simone hadn't been tending to the patient's long before determining there was nothing she could do.

Eva sighed before pulling her bottom lip between her teeth, the salty taste of her sweat meeting the tip of her tongue. She had been training with the warriors and hunters for several hours now, looking for something to take her mind off of things. Last night was still fresh in her mind but was overshadowed by the events that took place in the infirmary.By now, everyone knew what had happened but only a select few knew of the true extent of the damage done. Eva was silently thankful that she hadn't witnessed what Daniel had. Just hearing it described had been sickening.Wiping perspiration from her forehead with the back of her hand, Eva forced the thoughts out of her mind as she readied to tackle the obstacle course again, muscles and lungs not burning enough for her liking even if her palms were blistered

“So you think a witch is trying to start a war with werewolves by attacking your pack?” Eva broke the unsettling silence, her hazel eyes curious as she regarded Kade. “No.” Kade replied, twisting one of the large silver rings that adorned his fingers. “What I’m saying is this witch did something that was so severe that their coven expelled them. Their actions could reflect badly on the already shitty relationship we and the witches have with each other.” “But it could be a witch that’s behind this.” Someone asked, a few others murmuring to agree with this theory. “If a witch wanted us dead, we’d be dead.” Kade replied, granite eyes seeking out Daniel. “I’ve already told our Alpha here that I don’t think it’s a witch that’s behind this and my theory has been confirmed. This witch helped someone they shouldn’t have.” “Who?” Ethan spoke up this time. “I don’t know.” Kade shrugged. “But I’m going to find out.” “How come you know so much ab

'your enemy hides in plain sight' Those words had been running around in Eva's mind since Bethan uttered them. She had heard words very similar to these a few months before from someone close. Eva hadn't spoken to Eshe since they had both left Silver Moon but she had heard that the former Alpha had reunited with her family and was enjoying retirement. Eva missed her and thought of her often with fondness but this time it was Eshe's last words to her that now preoccupied the she-wolf's thoughts. She had struggled to sleep even after she and Daniel had made love in the shower. The intimacy with Daniel had thankfully distracted her for a few hours but the thoughts had eventually turned back to the warning.

The force of the bullet ripping through her shoulder sent Eva crashing to the ground like a dead weight as more shots rang out. Blood bloomed on her shirt around the wound like the petals of a poppy as the searing pain set the she-wolf's nerves on fire. Groaning, she rolled onto her uninjured side to look behind her to try and see what had happened to Kade and the other wolves."Eva!" Kade yelled, pinned behind a tree as more shots flew through the air.Eva could see the beta was trying to get to her but every time he moved a shot was fired, whipping past him or slamming into the thick trunk of the tree he was trapped behind. The searing pain had the she-wolf growling like a feral creature, eyes flashing yellow as Kalla pushed to take control. She was angry about being shot even if the wound was already healing. Luckily t

“Ah!”“Sorry but I need to make sure there isn’t anything trapped in the wound.” Simone replied, ignoring as Eva glared at her. “Just because it’s healing doesn’t mean you’re not going to get an infection.”“You sound just like my mum.” Eva huffed, relaxing when Simone finally finished examining the gunshot and pulled her gloves off. “So give it to me straight doc, am I going to make it?”Simone chuckled, glancing at Eva before going back to writing in her notes. “A couple of bruised ribs and a clean gunshot wound. Doesn’t look like they used silver. You should be back to normal in a couple of days.”

The new day rolled in without incident.Daniel hadn't found himself in a guest room again, but Eva had not come to bed that night, leaving Daniel frustrated and restless. By morning the alpha's mood had darkened with no sign of lifting any time soon. His head pounded in protest against his exhaustion and him being up before the sun had even breached the horizon; throbbing with each step or slight movement.Having seen Kade off, Daniel silently made the trip up an old dirt track hidden at the back of the packhouse grounds. Young light began to creep coyly through the network of the branches and spring foliage of the forest as the alpha walked away from the packhouse, slowly burning away the nip in the air that settled at night when temperatures still dipped into single figured. Up ahead, about a mile away and settled deep into the for
