Mag-log inKeith stormed into the pack hospital of the Spring Leaf pack with Arya in his arms.There was a clamor of people there as wounded were coming in from all directions, and nurses were moving among people who were sitting on chairs. They didn't have enough rooms to examine them properly, so the triaging and first aid were done in the waiting room.There were clashes with rogues in several areas, and even though no fatalities were reported among friendly units, there were a lot of injured.While coming here, Keith was holding Arya against his body, hoping that she could take his vitality or that his healing ability would be used on her.She smelled of cantaloupe, sweet and kind of musky, reminding him of a snack his mother used to serve on a hot summer day. Katya would do that now since they lived together. Keith loved cantaloupes so much that he would use them in his protein shake recipes.Keith looked at his cantaloupe-infused mate, and his heart tightened.The only thing preventing him
Talia paused at the sight of one wounded wolf who was surrounded by five rogues.Two unmoving rogues on the ground had their necks torn.Talia didn't recognize the wolf they came to rescue, but Drake said it smelled of the Spring Leaf pack as he shifted into his wolf and joined the fray.Talia's heart was beating wildly. The injured wolf was visibly wobbly, and the ones circling it only waited for a chance to deliver the fatal attack. This didn't look good.With Drake's appearance, four rogues turned to him, but one was still eyeing the chance to attack the wounded wolf, who seemed to be at the end of its rope.Talia wanted to get the baddies and save the ally, but she could not do so in one swift swoop. The injured wolf was too close, and Talia could harm it from that distance. Her anxiety rose when she saw that Drake, tired from running and fighting, was now facing four enemies.Talia steeled her resolve and got closer to the fight, and her hands shimmered in silvery light, ready to
The fight was ferocious, with growls and snarls everywhere.Talia stood in the middle of it with her expression devoid of emotions, and the only thing preventing her from dissolving into panic was that she needed to keep going for Drake and others who were fighting by her side.Talia fried and cut three more rogues, and then things turned silent.Seeing that they ran out of opponents, Drake quickly got by Talia's side and put his hand on her shoulder. That point of contact was her anchor, keeping her from falling apart. She would lean into him for support, but he was naked, and they had an audience."Casualties!?" Drake shouted."No one died from our side," Keith said. "And I believe we got them all.""My leg is bleeding," one shaky voice came from the back, and Talia moved that way."We can take him to the pack hospital," Drake said while tightening his hold on Talia and preventing her from going there.Talia put her hand over Drake's. "I want to stop the bleeding."Drake didn't want
Cristian was on top of the situation.Patrols from the Spring Leaf pack identified several places where rogues were hiding, and they swiftly formed several groups, each with Alphas present. Their goal was to attack rogues. None of them were willing to wait and see what rogues were up to.Their mission was to eliminate threats while trying to catch some alive, so they could interrogate them.Beta Oliver was securing guest houses with warriors from the Blue River pack.Luna Michelle was not a warrior. After confirming that Ashton was asleep and well guarded, she went to the shelter to assure their people things were under control.Liam and Amelia were in the group led by Alpha Cristian. Amelia was excited to be part of this. She never saw anything like it.Pierce and Daria went with Tony and Kalina. They volunteered to join that group because Daria wanted to be with her sister.The idea to mix up teams came from Alpha Cristian. He thought it would be easier to share updates because each
Drake and Cristian exchanged quick glances like they were confirming if they heard the same thing.The Silverfur pack was placed on to the East of the Dark Howlers pack, and it also shared a border with the Spring Leaf pack."No need for such a reaction," Alpha Adam said. "I am just trying to get more information. Are there some conditions I need to fulfill? Is there any transaction between you to keep this open-borders policy afloat?""You want to open your borders to our packs?" Drake was visibly surprised. Drake thought Alpha Adam would ask about Jade, and the conditions for releasing her from forced-labor punishment that was documented by the WW Magazine, and not discuss an alliance.Alpha Adam pressed his lips into a line. "Is that so unexpected? Everyone would be attracted to the possibility of not needing to guard a certain stretch of the border. With fewer patrols needed, I can strengthen the ones along borders facing rogues and ease the load my warriors have. If we make this
The event hall of the Spring Leaf pack was a one-story building that resembled a hangar from the outside.On the inside, it was a massive space that was perfect for any type of gatherings.Two long bars with bartenders behind them stood opposite each other at the far ends of the event hall, there was an elevated stage with a band, a dance area where guests wiggled, and many tables with benches where people were enjoying finger foods and chatting in a good mood. Doors on the side led to restrooms, an extra storage area for additional furniture, and a kitchen where food was kept.To accommodate larger gatherings, the event hall had massive doors that would open to a well-maintained lawn where tables and chairs were set up, but this area was mostly empty with only a few people there who stepped out for a smoke. The forest around the event hall was filled with warriors who were organized in formations to wait for rogues while hoping that rogues won't come. Many of the guests came with th
It was late morning when Drake, Caden, and May arrived at the Red Moon pack. Layla apologized for the absence of her husband. "He is with the scouts who picked up suspicious movements on the eastern border of our territory before dawn. Edward is a hands-on leader and wants to personally ensure we
~ The Red Moon pack ~ "Out of the way!", Anna spat angrily while carrying a stack of plates into the kitchen. Talia quickly stepped to the side, not wanting to attract attention. She never understood why Anna or other Omegas are treating her like trash, she is an Omega, just like they are. The o
"Drive safely.", Stephanie said to Caden when he started the car. The trio would save a lot of time if they went with a helicopter or a plane, but werewolves like to feel the ground below them and won't fly unless it's absolutely necessary. "Be back in three days.", Stephanie added meaningfully.
Marcy's mind was a mess after receiving the news that tomorrow she will meet Drake, the Alpha of the notorious Dark Howlers pack, aka her future husband. She still didn't recuperate from the event of finding (and rejecting) her mate, yet now she needs to think about another man. And this was not j
