Path Of The Ranger Novels & Stories

Mara – Ashfang Pack Beta The pines were too quiet. That was the first thing Mara noticed as she stood on the southern ridge with the watch guards. No birdsong. No wind. Just the stillness of a forest that knew what was coming and held its breath. Below her, Ashfang's camp was a machine in motion. Warriors moving in rotating formation drills. Blacksmiths finishing blades lined with mountain iron. Runners relaying messages between command tents and border patrols. Even the Omega healers were busy, gathering medicinal herbs and boiling poultices in copper pots.

And if they have any basic knowledge of Rory starting to take over his pack, this is the best time to try and take him out. “The fastest path from here is this small path.” I jump and almost fall back into Finn. I quickly step sideways, I don’t like having someone behind me, out of my peripherals. He just keeps talking as if he didn’t just jump scare me. “If it isn’t overgrown. It has been over a year since my pack came through here. Who knows how long this other group had been around. They may have made other trails through here. What’s first on the agenda tonight?”
