he frowned. It was kind of funny watching him frown because of the lip piercing. “Scout? Why were people sent out to scout? Is that what Colby was doing?” I questioned. “Alpha and his three advisors believe they have a general idea of where we can find those Syndicate fucks. Scouts were sent out to check the area. Given that, like me, Kitty can mask her scent, she was selected as a scout,” he explained. I sat up a little hearing this. “Syndicate?” I questioned, not recognizing the name. “And Colby?” I asked.

Behind her, another scout entered the chamber. His boots were covered in mud. Fresh scratches lined his arms, evidence that he had searched every inch of the forest. He dropped to one knee. "Alpha." Rowan looked up immediately. "Report." "We searched every trail leading east and south. We questioned every patrol from the neighboring packs." He lowered his head. "There was no sign of Luna Audra." The words struck the room like another hammer blow. Rowan dismissed the scout with a weary nod before rubbing both hands across his face.

The Goddess moves alone through the sky, so shall we move upon the earth. The door behind me creaks slightly as it is pushed open unceremoniously. I can hear a few people shuffling in. It should be the scouts reporting back. “So?” I ask, trying to hold back the nervous energy and excitement I feel. “Well, you see, sir,” the needling, high pitched voice of our fastest scout is grating, but he is beyond comparison for getting in and out of places he is not wanted. “We made it to the edges and were confronted. The boys put up a fight, but I was the only one to get away. They sent one of those quick ones after me, but I managed to give her the slip when I met up with Hammer and Dime. But you see

The scout clears his throat and speaks again, “The packs gave us a location where the Black Knight Pack is currently based.” “Show me,” I demand, shifting without another word. Jace shifts and follows behind me and the scout as we run through the forest. The trees blur as we run, and my mind races. If we can get the Black Knight Pack’s location today, then we could finish this once and for all within the next couple of days. Then, Aurora will be safe, and we’ll be able to live our lives without worrying that someone is after her. With our speed and the guidance of the Redwater scout, we easily find his fellow scouts. Like shadows, they drop from the trees and silently land in a circle around

I closed my eyes and let more memories come, unbidden. I pictured the oath I had sworn at the altar of my ancestors while silver and blood…crimson red, mingled in the moonlight. “I will protect the kingdom…I will protect the life that is pure…I will not falter”. That was exactly what I had said when taking the oath. And I planned on keeping it. The chief scout walked up to me and bowed slightly. “Alpha, scouts have been deployed to both the north, west, south, and East borders”. I nodded. “Make sure to send back reports. I'm going back to the pack”.

Though recent days had seen a renewed spirit of unity and rebuilding, a palpable tension now stirred at the edges of their territory—a reminder that external challenges, however minor, could never be entirely cast aside. In the central courtyard, where the echoes of the recent council meetings still lingered in every whispered promise of transparency and unity, a group of scouts returned with urgent news. The leader of the scouting team, a lean and alert wolf named Verin, bounded into the assembly hall, his eyes wide with both excitement and concern.

Tor scanned the group of shifters who had assembled in front of him. "Ok, boys, the intel we gathered is saying that the burners are coming from the west. I want the alternating teams of scouts to make their way west and to return the night after with reports on what you find. The first team of scouts is Grayson and Arlo," Tor said pointing to Arlo and Grayson. Arlo let out a whooping howl and Grayson, a tall stalky man with a sleeveless fur vest and a scar over his left eye nodded solemnly.

As soon as I hear her bedroom door close, I lead Dane and I into my office. “What’s up?” I casually walk to my desk picking up my watch and car keys for later. “It was my decision not to let you know for the past few nights, I wanted Luna to feel settled…for you to spend time with her and not worry…” “Know what?” “Scouts have been spotted a few miles off the borders.” “Are they passing through?” We were a big pack, with a large land coverage…this wasn’t unusual. “No, they keep changing their formation every night..they are looking for a weakness.”

“Ready to hunt boys.” Stevie’s hand brushes mine. “I know I am.” Hushed growls agree all around me. “Rowan, Huge, stay with the supplies— Before I can finish, a rustle behind us snaps my focus around. Something moves in the brush. I spin, grab, and haul the figure forward—young, fast, but not fast enough. He hits the ground hard, a blade clattering from his hand. He’s wearing Nightshade colors. “Scout,” Stevie says, aiming her arrow.

But then he slumped back into his chair, the fight draining out of him. “…Fine,” he muttered. “We’ll send a message.” Kane frowned. Jenna rolled her eyes. Even June didn’t look thrilled. Nobody wanted to depend on Scarlett Pack especially not after everything I had just gone through there. But nobody argued either. "Two scouts, the fastest ones. They leave immediately.” I followed Tobias and the scouts outside as they prepared. The pair selected were lean, quick footed and already shifting restlessly as Tobias issued instructions. One carried the sealed letter. The other carried a signal stone that would glow if they made it through safely.
