We head back to the Pack-house, and I ask Cian how he has been doing since his Mom died. He tells me that his Aunt and Uncles have been there for him every step of the way. He never felt left out, even though he can’t mind-link them, and that is the only thing he doesn’t like.
Cian is my senior by three years; he is 6’2″ with mahogany blond hair and satin grey eyes, and he is built like a house. I think most will have difficulty putting his ass on the ground, and I will definitely use him as a sparring partner to improve my own skills.
We head to the backyard where the rest of our Pack is, and the closer we get, the stranger
Kobal is looking.
“What is wrong, Kobal?” his Sister asks, and he tells her that he can feel more connections through the Pack-bond. Dad confirms what he is feeling and that he will explain everything once they have met the rest of the Pack.
Everyone gets introduced to one another after we enter the backyard, and Lynn keeps looking at Kobal.
“Hello, little Wolf,” he says as he gets down on one knee. “My name is Kobal, and what is your name?” he asks as he holds out his hand. Lynn places her small hand in his before she tells him her name.
The contrast between their hands is so amazing that I quickly take a picture of it before he turns his attention to Josh and Keir. Both of them tell him their names, and Keir tells him that Lynn beat him in a race the day before.
“Don’t worry about that, little Alpha. You will become faster and stronger the older you get,” Kobal says.
Lance and I check every backpack we have to make sure we have everything we need, and in the meantime, Dad explains a few things to Kobal and his family. The Pups help us with putting everything we got from Aunt Lucy away, and by the time we are ready, an Omega walks out to tell us that lunch will be served in five minutes.
I dread saying goodbye to my family, but it is necessary for us to get back on the road and find our own territory to settle down in. Dad promises Uncle Chris that he will inform him the moment we have found the territory and that we will ask for help if we need it.
We have been on the road for over an hour when Kobal asks me why we are going to find another territory.
“Council-member Armas called Dad about eight years ago; the Alpha of White Crescent Pack wanted to expand and asked the Council if he could buy our territory.
Dad explained everything to me about what had happened, and we decided to sell the territory. I have no memories of it, and for Dad, they only hold bad memories, so it was the best thing to do. I met Council-member
Armas shortly after we left our Pack, and I know that White Crescent Pack is now run by his Son, Alpha Atlas.
I only had one request back then, and that was to keep our Pack name. I wanted to keep it just in case, and it is a good thing we kept it, or the three of you would have been without a Pack,” I answer him. He smiles at me with a sad look in his eyes.
“You are as down to earth as your parents; neither one of them ever cared much about material things, and it sounds to me that you are exactly the same. You will make an excellent Alpha one day; you already have shown that you care about your Pack-members.
I doubt there are many Alphas that would take a heavier backpack to make it easier for a weaker member, and I doubt any of them would ever accept this many members who were cast aside for whatever reason,” he says, and I know that my face is bright red from the compliment he has given me.
After dinner, Dad shifts into Echo to carry Lynn and Josh, while Kobal carries Mylana and Rory. Argos carries Josy as she doesn’t have her Wolf yet, and the rest of us carry the backpacks. By the time it is almost midnight, we stop for the night, and Colton and Quinn go in search of a good place to rest.
We all shift back to our Human forms to get some sleep, and it only takes Quinn and Colton a few minutes to find a cave where we can put the Pups and Omegas to rest for the night. It is a good spot that is easy to protect, and it will keep them warmer than sleeping out in the open.
It doesn’t take us long to fall asleep while some of the Warriors patrol the area; they will be taking shifts to make sure everyone gets some sleep.
Lotus wakes me in the middle of the night. “Lakota, we have to go. Take Lance with you,” she says, and I wake him up to follow her lead.
Lance
Lakota wakes me in the middle of the night.
“Lance, Lotus wants us to follow her lead. I have no idea what is going on, but she has never steered me wrong,” she says through the mind-link, and I get up without asking any questions. If Lotus wants me there, it has to be for a reason.
We warn one of the Warriors that we will be back soon before we let Lotus lead us away from our campsite. She leads us deeper into the forest, to an area we know doesn’t belong to any Pack close by, and I strain my hearing to figure out why she needed us to follow her.
We make slow progress as we have to climb a few rocks every now and then. I decide to take a chance to see if I can get an answer from Lotus.
“Lotus, any idea what is going on?” I ask.
“I don’t know, Lance. All I know is that it is important for me to get there and that we shouldn’t be alone,” she answers.
Lakota looks at me in shock as it is very unusual for us to be able to hear another’s Wolf or Lycan, but for some reason, Bolt feels reassured that we can communicate with Lotus, and I just keep following her. We have left the campsite about half an hour ago when she stops dead in her tracks, and I hear faint whimpers from behind some rocks.
