The war room smelled like blood and smoke.

Irene’s POVIn a split second, she kicked my leg causing me to stumble back a bit. But before she could make a run for it, I grabbed her ponytail, throwing her at the wall. As I tried to reach for her again, she grabbed my arm scratching me with her claws. I slapped her hard across the face and she fell against the desk pushing down the badge box. Lexie’s eyes rounded like saucers when it opened and nothing came out of it.
Irene’s POVWhen we arrived at the tent, Karin did a good job of staying put in it. Karson put Carl down quietly and we both tiptoed around the tent where the said spy was. The moment we sighted her, I leaped forward grabbing her by my claws to ensure she didn’t slip away. She screamed in effect, struggling to break free. “Let me go! Let me go!”
Irene’s POVThe air in the room felt heavy. Lucas and Ken had a serious look on their faces. Whenever it comes to organizing defense plans, we do it with every focus that we can muster, knowing we can’t afford for anything to go wrong. Lives can be taken in a snap. And judging by the extent to which this is going, nothing can be missed. I had no other choice but to inform the elders and the units fighting in the war about the lucky escape we just had with our water supply.
Each step Lexie carried towards the packhouse was heavy. Her mind raced through the right words and excuses she could give. She chewed hard on her tongue, her heart thumping viciously. She had started the day in high spirits, hoping to hear the unfortunate news about the dark hollow pack. But to her surprise, her emissary didn't return. As the day turned into night, she had to accept the dreaded truth. He won’t be coming back. Leaving her no other choice but to break the news to the one she had plotted with. Lexie clenched her fist by her side, this is all Irene’s fault. He
Irene’s POVSince we were aware of Lexie’s plan. I thought the best thing to do was not act loudly. We would be quiet and act like she could have her way while we watch out for her plan to play out. Ken and Karson were the ones who initially offered to watch the water source with me after I explained my plans to them. Lucas had gotten a slight fever and needed enough rest.
Irene’s POVWe all turned to where the yell came from, and it turned out to be Carl and Karin. I cursed inwardly. This isn’t a good experience for children. Seeing the adults around them bicker at the slightest thing. “Why are you two fighting?” Karin questioned Karson and Lucas.
Irene's POVThe Dark Hollows members treated us like royalty.Within hours of our arrival, they had prepared a private cottage near the main stronghold. It was modest compared to the Pack house back home, but every detail spoke of care. Fresh linens on the beds. Wildflowers arranged in clay vases.

Irene's POVThe stronghold rose from the mountainside like a scar that refused to heal.It wasn't the grand fortress Ken had described from the old days. That had been reduced to rubble years ago. This was something smaller. Rougher. A collection of stone buildings carved into the rock face, hidden
