Chapter 142: The meet point

It was finally the time for the infiltration to begin. The packmates from the Kendall pack were on their way to meet up with the packmates of the Cesaro pack. Many times Lachlan had discussed with the elders and Fergus, in regards to the mission. As for Latham, he stressfully told him to take good care of Erick. Even if his shifter was strong but he was still an incomplete soul and it might take some time to get used to the 'new' power Dane gained after finding one of his souls.

The atmosphere inside the minivan was a bit tense as many thoughts flooded these shifters' minds, not knowing what was to expect. This was especially so for the two young shifters, sitting at the backseat. Then again, whether it was due to anticipation, it was not sure because there was a probability the tension for the two young shifters was due to the large shifter who was sitting between them, with his arms crossed across his chest.

Fergus frowned, his usual easygoing smile gone from his face as he sat at the backseat. Both Erick and Hamish were quiet as they looked out the window, not a peep from them. They do not dare to find out whether he was in a mood or not.

Latham was driving the vehicle with Elder Aziel sitting next to him at the passenger seat. At the middle passenger seats, Paccia and Elder Ulanni sat there. They were unsurprisingly quiet as well, each of them in their own thoughts.

They had left town an hour ago and it will take another couple of hours to reach the meet point they had agreed upon. For the Cesaro pack, the team will be led by the Alpha himself, whereas the Kendall pack will be led by the Beta. Lachlan would not be joining the expedition because he has to keep watch for any news that might spread in town about the kidnapping. He did not want to cause another panic across town where a local teenager was kidnapped in another town. This may not bode well for both towns if the news were to spread.

Paccia was getting bored as they drove on. She started to play with the sparkles on her fingers, tossing them between her fingers. Truth be told, it was a surprise to see that she lasted that long, without making a mischief or noise by then. Just as she was playing with the sparkles, unfortunately, one of the sparkles was tossed further back and it hit Erick, who was behind her.

"Yelp! What the heck was that??" he exclaimed in shock.

Startled, Paccia turned around and saw a little burn mark on Erick's arm, which he furiously rubbed, trying to soothe the pain. She let out a light chuckle and turned back around, ignoring the young shifter's accusing glare.

"That little pain hurts a lot, does it?" Fergus snorted, a small smirk creeping out of the corner of his lips.

Erick turned his glare at him, which elicited a harsh scolding from Latham, "Respect your Beta, Erick!" he roared.

Fergus just smirked while Erick looked away, sulking. Hamish, who knew how childish his father can be, just ignored the two of them as he looked out the window.

The journey continued to quiet until they finally reached the meet point.

They were meeting at the intersection, which was between the road to Port Robston Bay and to other towns. The Cesaro pack does not know the route to go to where Isaiah Cairin had told the Kendall packs was. So, they had to convoy with the Kendall pack.

At the meet point, the Alpha stood outside his car, together with Paxon and the rest of their packmates. This scene reminds Erick of the time when he first met up with Bastian for their joint mission. However, this time, instead of the son, it was the father, instead.

Latham stopped the car near them. And soon, they all got out of the car. Fergus stood in front of his group, leading them to where Riedrich was standing. Fergus gave his greetings with respect and Riedrich returned back the greeting.

They then began to discuss how to start the infiltration. To ensure that they were not seen, Fergus suggested that they can camouflage their vehicles, heading towards the place or immediately change into their shifter forms.

They all agreed to change into their shifter forms, in the end. This would be much easier and the fact that using their cars over would be tedious and may hinder their mission. Every shifter there immediately shifted after taking their clothes off.

The Cesaro Alpha was the largest shifter among them. But he was surprised to see a large shifter shifting from a young one. He looked over and believed it was the son of the Kendall Alpha. His eyes suddenly widened as he watched the shifter fully straightened. He was nearly as big as the elders, if not more. He knew at most that he was only a teenager. But to have a shifter this huge was rare. Then the Cesaro Alpha saw the huge white streak almost covering his whole mane.

It was then he knew.

The Cesaro Alpha took a step forward at the semi white shifter and bowed his head in respect. "It is my greatest honor to meet you, Great Lycan."

Gasps resounded all around the Alpha as realization dawned on them. Even the shifters from the Kendall packs were surprised, other than Elias, the wolf counterpart of Fergus. From the moment Dane had appeared, Elias had already kept his head bowed down.

Arnou, the wolf counterpart of Elder Aziel, turned to Elias and hissed accusingly, "You knew?"

"Yes," Elias answered unashamedly.

Walking past several shifters who had their heads bowed, Paccia came up in front of Dane and chuckled softly. She then gave a little bow and said, "So, you have regained your memories, Lycan prince. Congratulations."

Dane rolled his eyes, snorting disdainfully. "Not all," he admitted.

Paccia nodded. "Indeed. You have yet to collect all of your souls to be a full Lycan."

"We'll discuss that later," Dane interjected as he turned around, facing the direction where they will be heading to. "For now, we need to get Isaiah's granddaughter and rescue my mate and the Cesaro young shifter."

Paccia nodded once more. She turned back around and immediately casted a spell.

All the vehicles that were parked at the intersection immediately disappeared after the spell had been chanted. They were actually being made invisible to hide from any suspecting individuals.

The Cesaro Alpha knew that there was a seer in the Kendall pack but he did not expect that the seer would strengthen herself to be more or less like a witch, the female class of a warlock. If not, she was probably more strong than he would expect.

Once she was done with the spells, she continued on chanting a spell. This time, it was targeted at the shifters, giving them enhancement spells and protective spells. She also casted a spell to ensure that their smells would not be able to alert their enemies, as it was unsure whether the other side had rogues, who were able to scent their smells, in their throng.

After everything was done and prepared, the Cesaro Alpha stood in front of the shifters, together with Elias, who stood a bit further behind him. He did not review back on each shifters' tasks and responsibilities, lest there were some unsuspecting people who eavesdropped on their conversation. And the shifters too did not expect to be reminded as they knew what they had to do.

Since Elias knew the way there, he led the pack, followed by the Cesaro pack and their other packmates.

It was time to rescue Amber, Bastian and the granddaughter of Isaiah Cairin and put a stop to the warlock's madness.
