The Lion Tracker's Guide To Life Novels & Stories

“What is it?” He handed her the package, and she carefully opened it to find a beautifully crafted tracking guidebook. “I thought you might like this,” he said, his cheeks slightly flushed. “It has tips and tricks for tracking different animals. We can use it for our next workshops!” Elara felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. “Leo, this is amazing! Thank you!” She flipped through the pages, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “This will be so helpful for our future events!”

"We all want to make our loved ones proud." Liam, a skilled tracker with a gentle demeanor, spoke up next. "My childhood was spent in the mountains, and I had a special connection with the animals there," he shared. "But my greatest fear was always losing that connection, of losing myself to the wild." Jordan, the youngest member of the pack, listened intently to the stories, feeling a mix of awe and admiration for his older packmates. "I'm still learning about myself and the world," he admitted, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "I'm not sure what my biggest fear is yet."

Except… we lacked one thing. "We need more," I grumbled to myself, "we need more animals if we are going to win this competition." Before I could say more, the male lion—who had fully shifted by now—smirked knowingly at me. “So,” he said, his voice low and mocking. “The Alphas and Lunas are laying traps for those little rabbits. I tensed. "Mr. Lion… we are going the wrong way. We thought that your territory was on the other side of the forest."

It made no sense. I watched as the trackers did their job. They followed the trail of Lise. I could see where her path had taken her. Suddenly, the trackers skid to a stop. “What?” I demanded as we all shifted to our human form. “It ends here,” one of the trackers murmured. “What ends here?” I asked, confused at the answer.

“I need your ears, Talia. There’s a rogue pack moving on the border, and I need you to run a track for me.” I nodded quickly, my eyes darting back to Johnson and Imani's mate at the bar. I should have stayed on their side of the room. “Imani, honey, it’s time to track back to our den,” Lieli said softly, his heavy hand resting on his mate’s shoulder. I rose unsteadily from my wooden stool, gathering my hunting leathers. It was one of the few nights I was actually leaving the tavern with my senses intact. “Goodnight, Johnson. I’ll scent you at the clearing tomorrow,” I said, pulling my heavy wolf-skin cloak over my back. “Tonight was actually a good run.”

“My pack is made of wolves who are unique among us because they have been able to embrace the individual. Oh, they can work in concert with the best of us. But when push comes to shove, a tracker and a scout and a non-warrior are on their own. No pack members by their side to back them up. No one guaranteed to come to the rescue…`` Another loud yelp and whine caused an eruption of birds from the treetops. “Well,” Trajan added as he stood up, “I only really bring it up because it seems you two are in the same boat. Alone. No pack. An enemy for an ally. And somewhere around you three more threats. Closing in. So you have two options, run and be hunted by a tracker who has already bested three

It seemed that whoever it was hunched long enough to flatten the vegetation, and then stealthily followed her. The scent marks were peculiar and left all three alarmed and puzzled. It seemed like the scent of an animal. So, Lisa was scared by an animal? It was possible. It was greatly troubling for Ruben to know how his mate would react when she found out that she was mated to a shape-shifting animal? He prayed to Luna that Lisa was not easily scared off, and would stand by his side. A strong Luna would reassure the pack. “Where are the twins ?” Luca twins were his best trackers.

They didn’t tell me who my trackers or allies were, how to contact them, or what the rules were for working together with other packs. Apparently, even as allies, you can’t go on their land without letting them know. So if our trackers track Nicole and Jordan to another pack, they’ll have to alert the alpha first. It’s easier to ask other packs to keep a lookout or to hire trackers that are independent and can move through packs and human cities. ‘Like doctor Michael.' Knox said. Maybe it would be good to try and find him too, before Nicole did. When we were done, Finn and I headed to training. I hadn’t seen Izzy all day; she had been talking to the gamma and was busy making sure the pack st

LUCIANO’S POV “I followed their tracks as far as I could. It was very tricky. I have no idea who they are but they are very careful. I kept losing their scent and tracks. I can’t even say for sure that I was on their trail. Never been so confused before.” Andrew was the best tracker we had. Looking at him sitting across my table now, I could see how embarrassed he felt. He tried his best not to let it show but I could see through him.

To be honest, I have learned a lot during my stay here. For instance, the white wolves who have the ability to track are the same ones that leave the pack often to search for food, hunt, and also bring information back to others. These trackers have a unique ability of cloaking themselves which means when they are out, no one can see them or sense them. That was mindblowing. But sadly, there are only a few trackers left in the pack. There are many fractions even though the pack was small in number compared to other packs I have visited. However, I still didn’t know where I actually belong. I still haven’t discovered what my unique ability was–
