And Into The Fire

‘We’re almost to the river. Felix should be here somewhere,’ Dad mind-links.

I slow down as we come to the river, and I see Felix step out from behind a tree and bow his head to me. “Everything is clear. The pack house is two miles northeast from here,” he says, then shifts.

I nod my head and motion for everyone to follow.

‘Is Catherine behaving?’ I ask Harry, who is guarding her in case she tries anything.

‘She seems nervous.’

‘Keep her close.’

‘Yes, Alpha.’

Felix slows down, and we take position behind trees and bushes as the secret pack house comes into view. There are men patrolling outside, and I can see they’re carrying guns.

I shift back and turn to the group, who all shift back as well. “They’re carrying rifles,” I whisper. “We all need to be extremely careful. Those bullets are probably laced with wolfsbane that can stop us from shifting and healing.” I explain. “Felix, were they carrying weapons last night?”

“No, they were unarmed.”
