Scout Aot Novels & Stories

This will make them the best trackers we have now as well. Uncle Mark let’s me lead in informing the scouts where they will be going and the goal for today. The goal is to outline the realm as much as possible but we also need an outline of where Alastor is operating. Those creatures we keep running into are strong and hard to kill. “Be careful. Do not take any risks. Teleport home immediately should you run into danger. I don’t want anyone taken prisoner,” I say to the group. There is a collective ‘yes ma’ams’ as the scouts stand and gather their gear. Shifting is a last resort since it’s easier to hide in our human forms. I say a quick prayer to Ryuu to watch out for these guys as they dis

The first test of his leadership against political doubt was underway—but now it had become a matter of survival. The days following were a whirlwind of activities. Scouts traced the shadow creatures' movements as they neared the border of the Verdant Moon. Wolves were set at strategic points, and Auren subtly influenced them with training and guidance. He went into hours of meditation to connect with the land, the pack, and his parents' legacy, drawing energy into his body.

One sound from me and she will toss me out on my ass. “Scouts have searched all the larger properties around the pack land. They went as far north as Capstick and as far south as Sydney and Inverness. If it is Origin Wolf, then we can expect the pack to have joined their Alpha. So there will be a lot of them, especially if they have allied with other packs. These are the only possible places to maintain the large numbers and remain inconspicuous”. Cole talked and everyone listened. He commanded the room, just like an Alpha would. And they all paid attention, following his lead in every way. He wasn’t their Alpha, but they showed him the same level of respect.

It was one of our scouts, their breathing shallow and ragged. "What happened?" I demanded, kneeling beside them. The scout’s eyes fluttered open, and they gasped, "Rogues… they’re moving… toward the eastern border. They have… something powerful… something unnatural." I exchanged a grim look with Killian. --- As I rose to my feet, the faint glow surrounding the scout began to intensify. "What’s happening?" Eva asked, her voice tinged with alarm. Before I could answer, the scout’s body convulsed, and a burst of energy erupted from them, knocking us all back. When the light faded, the scout was gone—vanished into thin air.

I asked a scout stationed near the entrance. The man looked at me like I was a ghost walking through a graveyard. He clearly knew about the Tier-One audit and the accusations I'd leveled against the pack's most lethal shark. His eyes darted between me and the hallway, filled with a mix of dread and morbid curiosity. "What's your business with the Chief Enforcer, Reed?" "I'm here to have a frank discussion about the integrity of this pack. Private. About the internal audit." I kept my back straight. I wasn't going to look like a submissive stray, even if my heart was hammering against my ribs. The scout didn't move for a moment, then he tapped his comms.

"Oh, see. I knew you'd get it! It really is an honor to be out here." Pulte turned to the other side and completely ignored him afterwards. "Everyone shut up. We're here." The captain quickly had everyone ready and geared up. They arrive at the area they are meant to scout on. "We'll split into three groups of five and scout the area. Check your gears and get ready in three minutes." The scout unit got off their carrier and started their mission. It was Pulte's second mission outside the fortress city after coming back to the force. "Don't let your guard down newbies, we're in a C level area. This place is new to us so we don't know yet what type of monsters and how strong they are."

The scout led the way, nervously glancing over his shoulder as if expecting death itself to spring from the shadows. “Here,” he whispered, halting at a narrow gap between two ancient oaks. He pointed to the ground. “Tripwire. Mechanical, but deadly. You step wrong…” He trailed off, shivering. I crouched, examining the wires strung between the trees. They were nearly invisible, fine copper threads coated in dark resin. I smirked. Amateurs. Or clever enough to be dangerous. I knelt, carefully cutting one wire at a time, my fingers steady despite the tension clawing at my chest.

I was stunned by her response but I nodded in agreement. “I will arrange for some scouts,” she said to me and I nodded again “Coordinate with Dominic,” and she nodded and she and Dominic headed off to arrange the scout mission. ******* (Ten hours later) I was sitting in my office with Jensen, Zack, Meagan, Dominic and Matthew, and Penelope Chaney. We were expecting the scouts back at any moment. They opted for travel in wolf form for discrete measures. So we had to wait until they were on pack territory until they could mind link. The room was silent.

There was a metallic click sound on rocks. The eyes of Tyra opened. “They discovered us.” I could see movement of trees through the broken windows. Black figures falling down, coming down to the ground with no sound. Council Scouts. Their metal limbs shone in the dark, and their faces were covered by black visors. The latter one knelt and examined the ground with a sort of instrument. It stopped and cocked its head. Then it said into a communicator, “Target found, everything is united, communicate in thirty seconds."

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.”
