170 The End

They managed to advance fairly quickly through the forest. Greg clambering through the trees and, like a monkey, jumping from branch to branch, inspecting everything around with his eyes and double check with the satellite map that caught thermal marks among the trees. Vicky led all eight shifters with riders on the ground, taking directions from Greg and guiding their group in the right direction.

In the forest there really were a lot of shifters who was laying in wait literally under each bush. With this, Greg had to continually run ahead and distract attention to himself, diverting the ambush to the side, if it could not be avoided. Judging by the fact that he managed to overhear from the shifters waiting for them, these were the Alphas who were against the new upstart. Some simply could not allow a human to become the Alpha and leader of the pack.
