She nodded slightly and forced a smile, attempting to show her mate that she could be strong for him even now. “I love you.”All around them there were the sounds of werewolves trying to shift and death howls mingled with howls of mourning for fallen brothers and sisters as well as the cries of humans as they were mauled by enraged wolves. The sounds that rang out above all the rest, though they were the quietest of all the sounds that filled the small area, were the sounds of the death cries of the young. They were the slowest and the weakest of them all, many of them had not yet had their first change, some that were only wolf by blood but not ability. They were also the most precious and loved of all the tribe. They were the future and they meant everything to each and every tribe member. Wolves that could have easily run and survived were staying to fight and laying down their lives to save the children.Marcus turned his face away as Allan took a step forward and swiftly opened

He at least should have had a scent, even if none of the humans did. None of it made any sense at all. He’d never known a human or a wolf to be able to mask their scent that way. Was it some kind of suit they wore that kept their scent from being detected? Marcus found a spot that looked like it would make a good camp spot for the night. It sat high enough up that he could see fairly well in all directions. It didn’t offer them much protection from the wind, but it would do for a little bit of a rest and he was sure that Sara was probably hungry by now. He’d have to find a way to hunt for her and make a fire that wouldn’t be too easy to see in the darkness. There was a small patch of trees that might do well at the base of the hill. It would hide the light from the fire pretty well long enough for him to cook the meat and feed the girl. Once he reached the base of the hill, he walked over to the trees and checked that the girl was still asleep and then laid her down gently in the t

Jacob moved through the small town as quickly and as quietly as he could. He carefully checked around corners and kept his back to the walls as much as he could as he made his way toward the woods. He knew where he could find her. She’d go right to their special place if she was ever in danger. There had been days when she just been a little bit down and that’s where he’d found her then as well. Luckily it wasn’t very far from their little town, but Jacob hoped and prayed that it was far enough out of the way that the humans hadn’t managed to find it. At least not yet, he hoped. He heard a lot of noises as he came close to the small clearing in the mountains. Jacob slowed his pace and hunched down, lifting his ears in hopes of getting a better idea of what was going on. A woman crying, hushed whispering. A child crying. He caught the scent he’d been looking for and he hurried through the trees, still careful just in case the others gathered there were not friendly. When he came t

Once he was sure everyone was ready, he turned and began leading the group through the woods toward the campgrounds Marcus had told him and the others to head toward. Every few miles, he and the other wolves would split up and weave a wild and random path through the trees, making sure that their paths intersected and crossed over one another multiple times before finally joining back together and heading onward. The one and only goal in any of their minds were to get to the campground safely and without being followed. They arrived in just a little over a day and a half. Everyone was hungry and tired. They hadn’t even bothered to stop for food or water. All four wolves lay down on their stomachs to let the humans crawl off of their backs. Jacob watched with a heavy heart as Lisa immediately went to her daughter’s body and scooped her up, then walked over and sat beneath a tree, just holding the little girl. They needed to get the child buried as quickly as possible so that Lisa coul

Sara looked between Marcus and Gabriel, then back again skeptically. She didn’t seem to be buying a word of it.“I need to speak with Jacob here for a moment and you remember what I told you about being sad?” He asked her.Sara nodded again.“Well, it looks like Jacob is going to tell me something that might make me sad or really angry and I don’t want you to see me like that. It might scare you and I don’t want that. Okay?”Finally, Sara nodded though her shoulders slumped a little and she clung to her blanket a little more tightly.Marcus walked over and settled her onto Gabriel’s back where she wouldn’t fall off. “Not too fast, Gabe.”The old wolf gave a rumble of understanding, then he and the others began walking back toward the campground.Jacob waited until the other wolves were out of earshot before speaking. “Get ready to shift.”A muscle in Marcus’ jaw tensed, but he did as Jacob had asked, peeling his shirt off followed by his jeans and boots. He held them out to Jacob and
