“Half the reservation’s inside, recovering from the brutality of DOPC,” I said. What I was feeling was beyond anger. I was feeling violated. This was my home. Had always been my home. If I had children, this would be their home. Where did the DOPC get off, coming here and attacking us like this? What had we ever done to them?I began walking to the teepee. The eyes of the survivors were on me. I could feel their gazes boring into me. With the elders incapacitated, with our children held hostage, with our numbers dwindling, they desperately needed leadership. A plan of action.“Listen to me, all of you!” I raised my voice. “Are we but weak pups, squealing and mewling with our tails between our legs? Have we forgotten our lineage? Have we perhaps lost sight of what is bigger? Our Creed? I know you are all hurting. I know spirits are low. I worry for your children, I do. I mourn for the injured. But I will not sit put. I will avenge. I will call upon the spirits of my forefathers to guid

I needed some time alone. The past couple of hours had been chaotic, to say the very least. I had died, come back to life, shifted into a wolf, fought fifty soldiers, and somehow lived through all of that to now be standing in another pack’s encampment.If I had a time machine, I would have traveled to the past when I used to live in Chicago. I would try to tell Chicago Alice that Rapid Falls Alice had lived a whole new flavor of life. I would laugh as Chicago Alice would struggle to grope with this new knowledge. It was a good fantasy, but it was something to think about in peacetime. Right now, we were at war.I had walked quite a distance away from the camp. I could see that the women were cooking food, making coffee, preparing tea, and talking to each other excitedly. The men who weren’t huddled around the bonfire were flexing their muscles to each other, telling each other tall tales of their adventures, arm-wrestling, and some were even real-wrestling.Family, I thought. We coul

“Can you believe this?” I asked her.“They’re actually talking to each other. Catching up on gossip. They desperately want to be friends again,” Alice said.“Yes! I know, right? Look at them mingle.”“And the women, too. They’re cooking, talking, drinking. There’s no enmity here,” Alice said.“May it stay so after the battle ends,” I prayed. “I wish the packs would come together and unite after this. It would mean the world to me.”“To us,” Alice said. She raised my hand to her lips and kissed it.We walked side by side, hand in hand, through the woods, taking a sort of divine pleasure in each other’s company. For a long time, we did not speak to each other. We just felt each other’s presence as we walked the perimeter of the campsite.“I’m a little afraid,” Alice said finally.“You do not realize the extent of your power. You are one of the strongest people I know, Alice,” I said. I meant every word of it.“You’re just saying that so I don’t freak out,” she said.“Do you realize how

“Well, we did,” Brandon said. “Right after we destroyed their weapon cache. Bad news on the stealth front, though. Their weapons are all gone, but they’ve been alerted.”I could see that. The wolves were now fighting the soldiers out in the open. It was a cacophony of claws and gunfire out there. Luckily, none of the guns had silver bullets in them.“Is this it? Are we winning?” I looked around hopefully as the wolves overpowered the soldiers.“No alarms meaning no reinforcements,” Brandon said. “Did you do that?”“I most certainly did,” I said, proudly.The burning wreckage of the weapon’s cache billowed black smoke into the sky, its flames latching onto the other buildings in the vicinity. Soon, this place would be nothing more than ashes.Brandon and I joined the battle, eager to do our part, now that two of our main concerns were addressed. The weapons were gone and so were the hostages. I could really unleash myself now.I shifted once more and with my mate by my side, jumped int

“The doctor said this will heal in a couple of days,” Alice said. I hadn’t even noticed her. She had been sitting by my side in the armchair. She got up and came over to me and kissed me on my forehead.“How long was I out?”“Oh, it’s only been a couple of hours,” Alice said.“What did I miss?”“Well, right after you passed out, I brought you here. The doctors who were tending to the elders in the prayer hall came at once. They patched you up well. There aren’t any burn marks on your body. Magical werewolf healing factor?”“Magical werewolf healing factor indeed,” I chuckled dryly. “Come on, tell me, what else?”“Well, the packs all decided to celebrate later in the evening at the site of their victory. The Lunar Brotherhood has claimed the facility as their new home. No one contested them on that. I’ve been here most of the time, waiting for you to wake up,” she said.“Babe, you’ve got to go home. Your mom must be worried. You also need some rest yourself,” I said.“You’re right, but
