Following Orders
“What did you find out?” Caleb asked as Axel entered the room.
They had agreed to meet in one of the old scout shelters in the forests to the northeast of Summer. It was a neutral territory between lesser packs.
“It was Shadowcrest,” Axel sighed. Dropping his bag on the ground. “They were one of the ones reported by your scout. Saul checked. There was another body pit, with fewer dead than before but no
children. So it seems likely they were the other pack with Whiteridge.”
Caleb sighed.
“Hallowed is gone,” Caleb said. “I sent my scout back. He found a pit as well, it was far from the settlement, and unfortunately, he found the entire pack.”
Caleb had a grim look that Axel understood all too well.
“Lone Rock as well, Saul confirmed it,” Axel replied regrettably, sitting down in the chair opposite Caleb. “I told him to take a break after that one. He has a baby at home. He shouldn’t have had to see that.”
