She crouched down into the tall grass. Her little brother quivered beneath her. Blake watched the hunter point his gun downwards into the tall grass, searching for them. Blake didn&#039;t know what to do but lower her ears, ready to jump the male as soon as he spots them.<br /> Blake tried not to growl under her breath or make any movement in the tall grass that was now moving with the wind.<br /> This is all my fault.<br /> <br /> Blake knew that she and her brother shouldn&#039;t have gone past the borderlines, it was the only thing that would have protected them both from the hunter.<br /> Blake knew she should have stopped her brother, Ross, the moment he crossed the borderline. She didn&#039;t even think about calling out for an adult to fetch him. Instead, she followed him, thinking she was old enough to handle the danger that lurked in the dark forest the surrounded the pack.<br /> <br /> &quot;Come out, come out, wherever you are, little wolf. I won&#039;t bite,&quot; the hunter spoke with a smile getting closer to them.<br /> Ross was about to pick up his head as if to do as the hunter says but Blake just held him down with her body and sneered catching the hunter&#039;s attention.<br /> Blake bared her fangs at the hunter as he walked their way but she tried not to growl. She kept her head low and her body lower. &quot;Oh, where, oh, where did my little wolf go,&quot; the hunter said turning his head from left to right, but his eyes never looked away from the area Blake and Ross laid.<br /> He knows!<br /> <br /> Blake&#039;s eyes grow wide. Locking eyes with the hunter, he grinned, raised his gun, and pointed it at her, &quot;I found you, little wolf,&quot; he muttered taking a deep breath.<br /> Blake closed her eyes.<br /> BANG!<br /> <br /> Blake stared at her computer screen, panting for air, her heart raced as she tried to catch her breath. Closing her eyes, she counted to five before opening then again.<br /> For the last five years, Blake had the same dream that replayed itself over and over each night.<br /> When the hunter&#039;s gun had gone off that night, in the tall grass, Blake&#039;s father had shown up just in time to save her and her brother from the hunter. Even though her father tried to stop the gun from hurting her and Ross, a bullet still hit Blake in her right shoulder blade.<br /> Even to this day when Blake goes through the shift, she can still feel pain from the bullet in her shoulder blade.<br /> It was not long after their mother showed, ordered them to run home, and don&#039;t look back as their parents, both, tried to fight off the hunter. It wasn&#039;t until morning when Blake and Ross&#039;s parents were found dead.<br /> <br /> It was from then on, Blake and her little brother were both now orphans.<br /> With a hard sigh, Blake glared at the computer screen in front of her as she stretched her arms over her head, moving her body from left to right. A groan escaped her lips as she heard the sounds of howling wolves from her open window.<br /> <br /> Snapping her head towards the window, she heard loud footsteps came towards her door. &quot;Blake,&quot; fifteen-year-old Ross shouted, opening the office door, &quot;It&#039;s the Run! Come on!&quot; he cheerfully yelled.<br /> &quot;I&#039;ll pass,&quot; Blake said in a lazy tone. She got up out of her computer chair and made her way to her window.<br /> &quot;You never go out anymore. Just once, for your wolf, come with me to the Run.&quot;<br /> Blake glared out towards the dark forest and slammed her window shut. &quot;You go, Ross. I have work to do.&quot;<br /> &quot;Blake,&quot; he spoke softly, &quot;I&#039;m worried about you.&quot;<br /> Peering over her shoulder, Blake smiled before turning to her brother with a straight, serious face. &quot;You don&#039;t have to worry about me. I&#039;ll go for a run later. For now, I have work to do.&quot; Blake made her way to her desk and sat down in her chair.<br /> &quot;Can&#039;t you just take a break for now.&quot;<br /> &quot;I just woke from my nap, so I just did,&quot; she replied. &quot;Go, Ross. It&#039;s okay.&quot;<br /> &quot;Ok,&quot; he said slowly in a disappointing tone. &quot;But you do know there is no Run until the Hunt.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The Hunt,&quot; Blake turned to her brother in shock. She had completely forgotten the Hunt. The Hunt was just a few weeks away, on the full moon. The Hunt was the day when the females of all packs, were just ripe for mating season. It was when the females would run out into the forest for a day, and by nightfall, the males would chase after the females and Hunt, for his mate. This year, Blake was to participate in The Hunt to find her mate.<br /> <br /> &quot;Did you forget?&quot; Ross asked.<br /> &quot;No,&quot; she quickly said looking away from her brother and back to the computer. &quot;I didn&#039;t forget,&quot; she said sourly, glaring at her computer screen. &quot;I don&#039;t have time for a love story other than the one I&#039;m writing now. I have a deadline to meet.&quot;<br /> &quot;You have to go there The Hunt if you do-&quot;<br /> &quot;I have a mouth to feed and bills to pay. I can&#039;t go out and risk the chance of finding a mate when you&#039;re not old enough to take care of yourself. Your still a kid and you should stay that way until you go through The Hunt yourself.&quot;<br /> &quot;What about yourself,&quot; Ross growled.<br /> Blake peered over her shoulder with a sad glimmer in her eyes, &quot;We all have to make sacrifices, I have made plenty of sacrifices that I don&#039;t regret,&quot; Blake turns to her computer and started typing, &quot;Go for your run and stay close to the pack,&quot; when he didn&#039;t move Blake spoke again, &quot;If you don&#039;t go now, I&#039;ll have you do the chores that I haven&#039;t gotten to do today. The bathroom needs cleaning, by the way.&quot;<br /> Blake tried not to laugh at her little brother when he ran out of the room and down the stair, making his way out the front door.<br /> Works every time, she smiled.<br /> <br /> Blake&#039;s smiled didn&#039;t last long. How could she be so stupid and forget about The Hunt? If it wasn&#039;t for Ross, Blake would have never known about The Hunt, until it was too late. It didn&#039;t matter to Blake anyway. It had been so long since she had shifted into her wolf form. It had been nearly four years now.<br /> <br /> After every transformation, because of her old wound, shifting was unbearable. Not only was it unbearable the bullet that hit her was made of silver majorly damaging Blake&#039;s shoulder blade in her wolf-form. Blake always had a limp to her step and running was even difficult. It was one of the reasons why Blake stopped running with the pack.<br /> <br /> And after her parents died, she was too afraid to adventure out into the forest like most do. And with her near-death experience with the silver bullet, she couldn&#039;t get a hold of her wolf spirit. No matter how many times Blake called out to her, she never answered back.<br /> Blake felt like she was no longer the she-wolf she once was. Even if she was to go through with The Hunt, there was no way she could detect her mate or go into heat during mating to even give her mate pups. If she could even have pups. There was a time when the pack doctor said there was the possibility she couldn&#039;t have pups because of the silver. In Blake&#039;s mind, no male in his right mind would mate with her, knowing she couldn&#039;t give him a pup or two.<br /> <br /> Blake&#039;s fingers stilled on her keyboard. Staring at the few paragraphs on the screen of her computer. Blake glanced at the window and smiled.<br /> Maybe this was her punishment for running after her brother that night, forgetting their parents killed. It was all her fault and now she was paying for it.<br /> She didn&#039;t mind, no, there was no need worrying about something that couldn&#039;t be fixed. At least she had her little brother. That&#039;s all she needed.<br /> She didn&#039;t need a mate or pups. Knowing she can take care of her little brother, Ross, was all she needed in this world and nothing was going to change that.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> Eric Price stared into the dancing flames before him. The entire camp was made up of chatty males and females, all excited for The Hunt two weeks from now.<br /> Staring into his fire, his Beta, Dolph poked the raging fire pit. Eric&#039;s Beta was not chatty like the others. One of the many reasons why Eric enjoyed Dolph&#039;s company, he wasn&#039;t annoying.<br /> &quot;How much further,&quot; Eric asked.<br /> &quot;We should be there by next nightfall, sir,&quot; Trevor, Eric&#039;s brother-in-law spoke, &quot;just around the mountain.&quot;<br /> Trevor Ford was Eric&#039;s third in command and map. Eric would admit to anyone, without Trevor. Eric and his men would be lost without him, literally.<br /> Eric couldn&#039;t think of a better person to navigate his pack to this year&#039;s mating grounds for the Hunt. In Eric&#039;s opinion, he would have rather had the Hunt back at home where he knew it was safe.<br /> <br /> &quot;My Lord, are you not excited for the Hunt?&quot; Trevor spoke with a cat-like-smile.<br /> Eric nearly laughed at his brother-in-law, &quot;It&#039;s the same as the last one.&quot; All the men around the campfire knew that was true. A bunch of females roaming around, waiting for a male to mount them and give them a pup. Likely for Eric, being an Alpha, he had more control than most males. And unlike most males, Eric never mated with a female during the Hunt.<br /> &quot;This year will be different,&quot; Trevor laughed.<br /> <br /> &quot;Didn&#039;t you say that last year,&quot; Dolph chimed in.<br /> &quot;That was my year,&quot; Trevor huffed.<br /> &quot;And what about Dolph, is it his year too?&quot; Eric laughed shaking his head.<br /> &quot;Like any woman would dare mate with him,&quot; Trevor joked. Unfortunately, Dolph wasn&#039;t laughing. Dolph growled under his breath, staring daggers at his friend. Trevor put his hands up, &quot;Hey there, boy. It was a joke. You&#039;ll find her.&quot;<br /> Dolph stared back at the fire, poking it with his stick once more. Eric felt bad for his dear friend, Dolph had always had problems with women. Even when the boys were growing up, the girls would run away screaming for their parents. Unfortunately, Eric never blamed the girls for running away, and neither did Dolph.<br /> Dolph was a man of very few words. He was taller than any male in the twelve packs. He was bigger than most too. Stronger. It didn&#039;t help either that he had a mean-looking face, with his body covered in scars.<br /> <br /> &quot;He is right,&quot; Eric said looking back at the fire, &quot;you&#039;ll find your mate.&quot;<br /> &quot;If it was that easy,&quot; Dolph muttered throwing his stick into the fire. &quot;I&#039;ll take the first watch. It&#039;s best you get your rest, Alpha,&quot; Dolph frowned, getting up, and leaving the fire.<br /> Both Eric and Trevor watched him leave and disappear into the shadows of the trees. The two looked at each other.<br /> Shaking his head, &quot;Get some rest, Trevor,&quot; Eric said leaving the fire and retiring in his tent.<br /> Once in his tent, Eric laid on the bed of his fur blankets, on his back. Rest his hands behind his head and yawned.<br /> <br /> Tomorrow Eric and his pack would be in the hands of the Black Water Pack. Their Alpha Seth Kelly senior just recently stepped down, letting his son Seth Kelly Jr. took the role as Alpha.<br /> Moving onto his side, Eric closed his eyes. No need worrying about it now.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> Blake rolled around in her bed before looking over to her nightstand to see that it was already eight o&#039;clock. The sun&#039;s rays beamed passed the blinds on her window. Rolling onto her back, Blake ran her hands over her face. She then sat upright and swung her legs over the edge of the bed.<br /> Once Blake was finished in the bathroom. She came into the kitchen to find a fresh cup of coffee and a breakfast made-up of three sunny-side-up eggs, Italian sausages, and hash browns on the table.<br /> Taking her seat at the table, she cupped her hands around her mug and breathed in the of her fresh roasted blend of coffee. With a hint of a smile on her face, she took a sip of her coffee in bliss.<br /> &quot;Is it good?&quot;<br /> &quot;Perfect,&quot; Blake said in satisfaction.<br /> &quot;Then, is it good to talk now?&quot; He asked taking a seat beside her at the table.<br /> &quot;If it wasn&#039;t,&quot; she replied, &quot;Then why are you still talking?&quot;<br /> Bowing his head, Blake glared at her friend and now Alpha. Blake couldn&#039;t help but roll her eyes before taking another sip of her coffee.<br /> <br /> Seth Kelly Jr. is a well-respected man within their pack. He&#039;s strong, smart, and completely wrapped around Blake&#039;s little fingers. Just the way she liked it. Nothing called you more of a bad one than to have your Alpha treat you like you&#039;re the Queen of the castle.<br /> &quot;Speak,&quot; Blake commanded, setting her cup on the table.<br /> Seth sprung up from his chair as if he was just woken up from the dead. &quot;The Hunt is near and-&quot;<br /> &quot;The answer is no,&quot; she quickly said staring into her mug. &quot;I have no interest in games like The Hunt.&quot;<br /> &quot;Blake, The Hunt is not a game, it&#039;s a way of life. Our future.&quot;<br /> &quot;Being hunted by male wolves. Baring pups. It&#039;s really not my cup of tea.&quot;<br /> Seth glared at her, &quot;You know well that not what The Hunt is about. What is wrong with you?&quot; he hissed. Running his hands through his chestnut hair. Blake raised an eyebrow. &quot;I don&#039;t understand you.&quot;<br /> &quot;What is it that you don&#039;t understand?&quot;<br /> &quot;Everything!&quot; he yelled. &quot;You never go out for runs. You&#039;re always inside the house and you have no friends. These past five years, you&#039;ve changed!&quot; he yelled. &quot;Even Ross is worried about you. You&#039;re not the same Blake we know.&quot;<br /> <br /> Blake found herself staring into her mug, running the tip of her index finger on the lip of the mug. &quot;And you think The Hunt is going to change everything? Don&#039;t make me laugh,&quot; she glared at him. &quot;I have everything I need here. A house, a car, a job, and my brother. What more do I need?&quot; She asked.<br /> Seth took a knee to the floor beside Blake, taking her hand into his, &quot;A lover.&quot;<br /> Blake narrowed her eyes at her Alpha. Since the moment Blake and Ross lost their parents Seth and his family had helped them in more ways than one. Growing up Blake and her little brother was very close to Seth. Blake could even still remember the other girls at school would get jealous of Blake and bully her just because she was close to the future Alpha.<br /> <br /> And Blake didn&#039;t want Seth to think he should be responsible for her just because she didn&#039;t have parents. Since they finished school, Seth had asked her out on dates, proposed, and committed himself to her.<br /> &quot;Seth-&quot;<br /> &quot;Be my wife, my Luna, Blake,&quot; Looking into each other&#039;s eyes Blake knew that she wasn&#039;t for him. She knew that some other girl was right for him. Not her. She couldn&#039;t give him pups, she couldn&#039;t make him happy as someone else could.<br /> She loves Seth, she truly does, but not in the same way as he does for her.<br /> <br /> Seth squeezed her hands together, &quot;My answer is still the same.&quot;<br /> &quot;Right,&quot; he bowed his head in defeat. &quot;Can&#039;t hurt a man for trying,&quot; he laughed with a shrug.<br /> She didn&#039;t want to tell him she was sorry, it would have made things worst. Taking her hand free from him, she took her cup and took another sip or two.<br /> <br /> &quot;I hate to kick you out of my house after I just put you down, but I have work to do. If there is anything else you like to talk about, then now will be it.&quot;<br /> Seth smirked, &quot;That&#039;s one thing that never changed. You&#039;re still a workaholic.&quot;<br /> She smiled back.<br /> &quot;There is something else I wanted to tell you.&quot; Blake gave him her full attention. &quot;The Alpha King will be here before nightfall. Make sure you&#039;re in the meeting hall before then.&quot;<br /> &quot;Do I have too?&quot; she sighed.<br /> &quot;Yes, you skip everything else but that.&quot;<br /> Sitting up straight, Blake looked almost surprised. &quot;Are you saying I can skip The Hunt?&quot;<br /> &quot;You know I can&#039;t force you too.&quot;<br /> &quot;Seth,&quot; she smiled, jumping out of her chair and wrapping her arms around his neck. &quot;Thank you, thank you, thank you,&quot; she cheerfully laughed.<br /> &quot;Alright now. Stop before I change my mind,&quot; he laughed. &quot;Besides, If you don&#039;t go to The Hunt, I still have a chance,&quot; he smirked looking like he was doing an evil laugh inside.<br /> Rolling her eyes, &quot;Sure.&quot;<br /> &quot;You know what,&quot; he huffed placing his hands on his hips, &quot;just eat your breakfast.&quot;<br /> &quot;Okay mom,&quot; she laughed making Seth laugh too.<br /> <br /> After Blake finished her breakfast and her coffee she excused herself from the table and head to her room. Coming to the staircase, Ross stood at the bottom waiting for her.<br /> &quot;Why did you let him in?&quot; Blake asked her brother. She knew well that Ross had let Seth inside the house.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m worried about you,&quot; Ross explained with an apologetic tone. &quot;Seth isn&#039;t wrong, you&#039;ve changed. And I&#039;m scared that I&#039;ll lose you too.&quot;<br /> &quot;Ross, you won&#039;t lose me. I&#039;ll always be here.&quot;<br /> &quot;That&#039;s what I&#039;m afraid of too.&quot;<br /> &quot;I don&#039;t understand.&quot;<br /> &quot;I don&#039;t want to be the reason why you can&#039;t do things like the Hunt or-&quot;<br /> &quot;Ross,&quot; Blake lifted her hand up to stop him, &quot;I&#039;m doing what&#039;s best for the both of us.&quot;<br /> &quot;But is it? How long will watch over me? How long will it take for you to be the old Blake who used to fantasies about finding her mate and becomes the powerful female-wolf, who will one day rule the world,&quot; he said raising his voice.<br /> <br /> Blake couldn&#039;t help chuckle at the thought of her younger self, &quot;Ross, I was a child. Besides, I-,&quot; Blake cut herself off. She was about to confess to her brother about her little secret.<br /> &quot;Blake?&quot;<br /> Shaking her head while forcing a smile, &quot;Nothing, I have work to do.&quot;<br /> Making her way around her brother to go up the stairs, Ross gripped her arm, &quot;Why not accept Seth&#039;s proposal? He loves you. He can protect you. Provide for you. You wouldn&#039;t have to worry about paying bills or work or-&quot;<br /> Blake placed her free hand over her brother&#039;s hand at gripped her other arm, &quot;Ross, he&#039;s not my mate. And I won&#039;t take another woman&#039;s mate, even if he is an Alpha. I won&#039;t be that kind of woman.&quot;<br /> &quot;But he lo-&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s a crush, Ross. It&#039;s not love.&quot;<br /> &quot;How do know?&quot; He whispered.<br /> &quot;Because I just do.&quot; Blake lied trying to smile at her brother while looking him in the eye but she couldn&#039;t. She wasn&#039;t even sure if Seth was her mate. She couldn&#039;t tell. But that didn&#039;t change the fact that she could never give a pup to Seth if he was. He would be an Alpha without a hair to his bloodline. Blake couldn&#039;t do that to him. She couldn&#039;t do that to no man. &quot;Go to school Ross. You&#039;re going to be late.&quot;<br /> <br /> Ross turned his head to look at the father clock in the other room to see it was well past seven o&#039;clock. With a small curse from under his breath, he to the kitchen yelling, &quot;I&#039;m so late.&quot;<br /> Blake smiled and yelled back, &quot;You wouldn&#039;t be late if you didn&#039;t have a monster-&quot;<br /> &quot;Not another word,&quot; he growled running out of the kitchen with his bag. &quot;It was stuck and being stubborn,&quot; he blushed.<br /> Blake laughed at him, &quot;Have a nice day Ross.&quot;<br /> &quot;Okay,&quot; he yelled opening the front door.<br /> &quot;And Ross,&quot;<br /> &quot;Yea,&quot; he tilted his head back to look at her.<br /> &quot;Come straight home today.&quot;<br /> &quot;Why?&quot;<br /> &quot;Just do as I say.&quot;<br /> With a nod, he left shutting the behind him.<br /> Blake frowned at the door, glaring at it. Today because of the Hunt, packs all over were coming. Who knows what kind of character theses people were going to come. This just made her job just a little harder than usual.<br /> <br /> The sunset over the mountain the moment Blake peeled her eyes away from the computer screen and glanced out the window. Taking her attention back to the screen she stretched her arms over her head will a yawn. She then rubbed her eyes with the palm of her hands.<br /> &quot;Blake it&#039;s almost eight. You should get ready for the meet,&quot; Ross said through the open door.<br /> &quot;No need,&quot; she yawned. &quot;I ready to go. Besides, the meet shouldn&#039;t take that long. Can you make sure there is coffee ready for me when I get home? I&#039;m going to have to do an all-nighter and finish this up before tomorrow,&quot; she said getting up out of her computer chair.<br /> <br /> Blake slipped her hand under her baggy, white t-shirt to scratch the inch under her bra-line. Lazily walking towards her bed she slipped on her socks that she left on the bed.<br /> &quot;You&#039;re not going to the meet looking like that, are you?&quot; Ross&#039;s brows rose to hair-line if it could. &quot;For moon&#039;s sake your wearing sweatpants and an old white tee with a coffee stain on it!&quot;<br /> Blake looked down at her tee, pulling the shirt out to indeed find a stain on it, &quot;Well look at that, so it does.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You can&#039;t look at the King looking like that,&quot; her brother said horrified.<br /> &quot;It&#039;s fine, I won&#039;t be there for long. It&#039;s not like I&#039;m there to impress anyone.&quot;<br /> &quot;But-&quot;<br /> &quot;You worry too much,&quot; Blake yawned once more getting off the bed and walking around him to head down the stairs to get her shoes on.<br /> &quot;Blake, this is the King we are talking about! If you show up looking like that! It&#039;s disrespectful towards him!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh well,&quot; she shrugged. &quot;If he knows what&#039;s best for him, he won&#039;t say anything.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Blake,&quot; Ross sighed in defeat.<br /> Peering over her, &quot;Ross, you worry too much.&quot;<br /> &quot;You said that already,&quot; he whined.&quot;<br /> Blake held back a smile as she finished putting her shoes on, &quot;Lock the door while I&#039;m gone and don&#039;t open it for anyone, okay?&quot;<br /> &quot;You worry too much?&quot; he mocked with a side smile.<br /> &quot;Lock the door,&quot; she repeated with a more serious tone.<br /> Rolling his brown eyes, &quot;I heard you.&quot;<br /> &quot;Good, I&#039;ll be home in an hour at most.&quot;<br /> &quot;Okay,&quot; she heard him sigh as she shut the door behind her.<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh my moon, Blake,&quot; Seth sighed in relief, &quot;your here.&quot;<br /> &quot;Seth,&quot; Blake glanced around the large meet hall. Everything seemed to have been in place.<br /> All the tables were set for the meet tonight. The food and drinks were made and displayed in one corner of the hall.<br /> <br /> The past Alpha and Luna were seated on the other side of the room, closest to the main table on the stage where the King was to be seated with his Beta and best warriors.<br /> &quot;Do we have any problems for tonight?&quot; She asked raising a brow.<br /> &quot;Well,&quot; he hesitated, rubbing the nape of his neck. Blake glared at as if to say get-on-with-it. &quot;The King will be here soon but there&#039;s trouble on the west border. I have to go-&quot;<br /> Raising her hand to stop him, &quot;I&#039;ll go, it&#039;s your duty to be here to greet the King. Besides,&quot; she smiled softly, &quot;I need the little workout.&quot;<br /> <br /> Not realizing that he was holding his breath, he whispered her name in a sigh. &quot;Blake-&quot;<br /> &quot;I know, I&#039;ll be careful,&quot; she didn&#039;t want to hear him say she shouldn&#039;t go. Slapping the side of his shoulder, &quot;I&#039;ll be back soon.&quot;<br /> &quot;Blake!&quot; Seth yelled quickly taking her wrist. She peered over her shoulder, waiting for him to say more. But he didn&#039;t, his eyes traveled to the floor and then back up to her. &quot;What are you wearing? You look like a bum,&quot; he frowned.<br /> <br /> She smiled, &quot;You just noticed,&quot; pause, &quot;You&#039;re not going to lecture me too, are you?&quot; she frowned.<br /> He didn&#039;t answer right away, &quot;When you return from the west border, I want you in a clean gown. Your King will be here tonight and you will not be seen looking like a bum.&quot;<br /> &quot;Is that a threat I hear, Seth?&quot;<br /> &quot;We may be friends but don&#039;t forget I&#039;m still your Alpha.&quot;<br /> Blake wanted to laugh at him but she didn&#039;t. She knew he was serious and in times like these. He always made sure she knew between the two.<br /> &quot;Of course,&quot; she bowed, &quot;If you will excuse me.&quot; Blake refused to look him in the eye as he loosens his grip on her wrist. Taking the opportunity to take her hand back, she brought her arms to her side and stroked out of the meeting hall.<br /> <br /> Eric took a deep breath and smelled the air. They were close. He could smell a roasted duck, most likely slow-cooking over a campfire. The sent had him nearly drool with delight. But there was something else in the air. Yes, another smell and it smelled like trouble. Rouges.<br /> Peering over his shoulder, Dolph could sense them too. With a sharp nod, Eric raced ahead with Dolph close by his side as the others stayed behind.<br /> <br /> Eric didn&#039;t need his men getting in his way. He could solve this fast by the time their pack came and deliver the dead bodies to the this Alpha Seth. How in responsible of him to have such firth come near his pack. The Hunt was less than two weeks away, and the last thing they needed was a pack of rouges roaming around stealing she-wolves.<br /> <br /> Do you smell that? Dolph said in Eric&#039;s mind.<br /> Blood. Eric growled. And a lot of it. It smelled as if there was a bloodbath going on. It was when the painful cries of wolves only proved Eric&#039;s fear.<br /> Over there! Dolph yelled. Just a few feet away in front of them, was indeed a bloodbath. Dolph had said for Eric. Ten lifeless bodies laid on the ground. The forest floor was drowning in red blood. In the many dead bodies, there was only one that moved.<br /> <br /> &quot;I knew I didn&#039;t kill all of you,&quot; a female voice sang. In the distance, a small woman walked out from a tree and stalked towards the whimpering rouge.<br /> Dolph was ready to attack the woman but Eric stopped him, putting his hand up, he watched the woman before him. The woman was cover from head to toe in blood. Her baggy shirt and sweatpants were shredded, only revealing her creamy color stomach, thigh, and right knee.<br /> <br /> &quot;Please, I was only doing as I told,&quot; he cried putting his hands up to protect himself.<br /> &quot;Funny, so am I,&quot; She smiled tilting her.<br /> &quot;No! Please!&quot; He screamed.<br /> &quot;That&#039;s enough,&quot; Eric growled under his breath.<br /> The woman growled under her breath and turned her head toward him. Her eyes were a bright gray and gold. &quot;Who are you?&quot; she hissed making Dolph ready for attack.<br /> &quot;Your King,&quot; He said trying to get a hold of temper before he jumped on her himself.<br /> &quot;King?&quot; Eric watched her body relaxed. He waited for her to bow but she didn&#039;t. &quot;Go ahead up, Alpha Seth is waiting for your arrival,&quot; she peered behind him, &quot;It seems you left your pack behind.&quot;<br /> <br /> Eric glanced back at the many bodies on the ground, &quot;Was this your doing?&quot; he asked.<br /> She didn&#039;t answer but picked up the rouge, &quot;I have plans for you,&quot; she told the rouge who had just soiled himself out of pure fear as she gripped him up with one hand. Who was this woman?<br /> <br /> &quot;Woman! You were asked a question!&quot; Dolph growled.<br /> She turned towards away from them and peered over her shoulder while dragging the rouge by his hair, &quot;Are you coming or waiting for your pack. Either way, I&#039;m leaving with or without you,&quot; she announced turning away.<br /> Who was this woman, indeed? Eric never meet a woman who took on rouge by herself let alone talk to an Alpha or King for that matter in such a manner.<br /> Dolph growled, nearly ready to transform into his wolf and attack the she-wolf. &quot;Enough, wait here for the others.&quot;<br /> &quot;But-&quot;<br /> Stay! Eric commanded.<br /> Dolph bowed and stayed as Eric followed the female.
