Sandy heard a small yelp which made him jump out of bed. He didn't sleep at all, which he cursed his insomnia as he open the door. He poke his head out when he realize how quiet it was. Was someone hurt? Or did he hallucinate it due to not sleeping? He took a long sniff and didn't smell any blood. He needs to sleep but his brain won't shut up. Closing the door, he jump on his bed and curl into a ball. He punch his pillow before closing his eyes. He needs to make a plan to deal with the hunters but this is the government. They barely got out with their lives and only thanks to fred and his pack. He quickly open his eyes when he remember luke and stripefur. Weird how he didn't smell the eastern pack when they was running. Which means they should have gotten out. He grab his head in frustration as bad scenarios played in his mind. He black out as his body forced him to sleep.
Slowly his door open as zamas came in silently, looking over at sandy sleeping form. She smelt his swirling emotions as she walk towards the bed. Feeling the bond, she wasn't surprise to see how bad sandy was as she crawl and held him from behind, sighing softly as she feels him relaxing into deeper sleep. She smile as she falls asleep as well. Ariel peek in, saw them both and grin as he softly laid on the bottom of the bed. He thought he was the only one that was having a tough time sleeping but the scene in front of him told him he wasn't. He smelt dallas and gesture for him to join them when he saw him peeking in.
This isn't weird. Wolves do sleep in a dogpile together so why would werewolves of the same pack be any different. And he knows he hadn't really join the pack but he trust his inner instinct. Dallas was thinking as he found a empty spot on the bed and laid down, touching his legs to sandy. He flinch when sandy roll over facing zamas, throwing an arm on her, feeling his feet touching both dallas and ariel. He whine a bit since a member was missing. His wolf accept them all and he can't fully relax if they all aren't here. Joe stagger in like a zombie as he took the last empty spot. No wonder he couldn't sleep. His pack was all here. His mentor did tell him once he find a pack he want to join, a type of restlessness will happen til he around them when it was time to sleep. He didn't know it would keep him from sleeping though. He saw everyone sleeping and grin as he felt the same peacefulness that put the others to sleep. He can get used to this. This sense of belonging which was missing when he was with his mentor's pack. Joe thought as he fell asleep.
Unknown to them, Audrey smirk as she watch everyone going to sandy room. She wasn't sure if she can trust a bunch of newly bitten pups and the separate rooms was a test. Her black fur blend so well into the shadows that no one even sense her. Now that she knew that their wolf spirits are connected to them, she can teach them lessons in everything about the pack bond. As an alpha, she can sense other werewolves bonds so she don't recruit bonded wolves into her pack. She went back to her room to think on how to best help them. She can tell the bond is weak and two of them isn't even join properly. Later today is going to be interesting, she thought as she shift back and fell asleep.
Sandy slowly woke up as he heard a lot of noise downstairs. Right he and the others are on the run and they crash with the avon pack. Looking around, he froze when he saw everyone around him. A deep feeling of belonging made itself known as he look at everyone. He can feel his wolf curl up inside him since he was close to the others. A knock sounded and chaos voice told him that breakfast was ready. Everyone but zamas start to move, sandy shook zamas to wake her gently. She froze after smelling everyone else in the room. Sandy grin at her as he got up to follow everyone else. Zamas quickly follow as they made it to the table. There was a ton of food on the table. There was sausages, pancakes, bacon, eggs and toast. The table was big enough to seat ten.
"Werewolves do eat more than humans. I'm still cooking." Said stan, the omega of the pack. He noticed that stan had kind grey eyes with dirty blonde hair. His voice had an italian accent.
"Just make a plate. Don't worry about order, as we don't follow wolf orders. Everyone can eat whenever. We make sure there enough food throughout the day." Emma said as she was piling on food on her plate.
Sandy thank stan as he went to grab his plate. The kids of the pack eyes went wide and he wonder what he did wrong. Leo saw how confused they look and explain that there was no need to thank stan. It is seen as an insult to thank him for doing his role. But it is ok since they was bitten and been living as meats for so long. The other kids nodded like they was wise sages. Chaos just shoo them away as he shook his head. They went to another room since the table wasn't big enough for everyone. They can hear the kids talking and giggling as they left.
"The kids been dying for you all to wake up since they now know more than you. They are happy that you are around since they all want to teach you. There another table in the other room." He murmur as they sat down to eat.
"Are you sure that enough food? It ok to eat more since those are human portions." Emma asks as she sat near them.
"I feel like im at my grandma house." Dallas murmur as he look down at his plate. Guldo let out a small chuckle as she walk in.
"Sorry I'm late." She said as she pile the food on her plate. Sandy also begin to pile on more food since he didn't want to be seen as greedy at first. He loves meat the most before turning into a werewolf so he piled on the meat. There was a lot of talking and getting to know each other as they all ate. The sausages was bleeding since werewolves love medium rare meat.
After eating their full, audrey wait til she feel her pack satisfaction before standing to speak. She of course was at the head of the table. She gave orders for the pack to do what they always did before their guests since she knew everyone want to know the guests. She has plans later today but for now for them to do their lessons and chores. She asks sandy and the others to follow her to the forest clearing outside. Helen and trix told them that ron is healing and it be a while before he wakes up. Sandy nodded as he follow audrey to the clearing. This was great as ron did look like he would survive when he saw him. It was like a huge rock was lifted off his shoulder after hearing that.
Sandy look at the others as audrey lead the way. They went deep in the forest where a huge boulder is.
"This is where we learn how to use and feel pack bonds. Want all of you to shift to wolf forms so it be easier. Sandy, ariel, dallas and joe. You don't have a bond yet. I'm sure you want to be in the pack. Only bonds I feel is sandy and zamas. Guldo do you want to join them?" Audrey asks as she jump on the boulder and sat on it.
Guldo look at zamas, seeing her looking worried til she nodded. "I may not trust sandy before but after seeing his fast response to the hunters and how protective he is, I will love to join his pack. He also didn't mind asking for help either or care about his pride when he told you about everything that happened. That showed me he won't let his ego get the best of him. And he is quick to apologize when he offends others or is wrong. It is hard to admit when one is wrong and I can tell he is sincere when he does. He is a leader I would be proud to follow."
"Thanks guldo. Though I don't know if I can be a leader. But I will do the best I can. Just don't be afraid to ever tell me when I'm doing something wrong or anything you feel is wrong. I know how I appear to others." Sandy gave a small smile, hoping to put her at ease. He start to shift after taking off his t shirt and sneakers. He shift halfway before hiding behind the boulder to shift the rest of the way. He grab his clothes in his mouth and place them by a tree. He watch dallas head to a nearby bush before shifting and ariel did what he did. He noticed zamas was already done while guldo shifted where she was. Joe did the same as guldo since he spent time with a pack that help him get over the human modesty issues the others still had. Audrey just watch everyone, yawning a bit as she wait. When everyone was done, she jump down, shifting while still in the air. Her clothes fell down around her like flower petals as she seamlessly went from human to wolf. Sandy eyes widen as he realize that this is the true power of an alpha. She is an egyptian wolf so was smaller than sandy in size. She had pure black fur with striking green eyes. Was kinda surprise to see that she had a blue tail tip.
"Werewolves markings come in all different colors." She said while sitting with her tail by her side. She mention it before anyone said anything, like she dealt with that question all her life.
"Sit in a circle and sandy I want you to picture the bond to zamas. As an alpha, I can enter your mind if you let me." Sandy closes his eyes as audrey put her paw on his paw.
In his mind, he saw a pine forest in the summer and a long rope leading to zamas. The rope was tied to a rock that had his wolf colors. He follow it to zamas and saw it was tied to a rock in her colors. Suddenly the rock move to where his was so they were besides each other.
"Nice idea to move her rock so you won't have to travel far to find it." Audrey was walking towards him but her figure was a bit faded. Like she can disappear at any moment.
"It just didn't make sense that she was far away. Don't understand but glad that I did that." He mutters softly as he look at the rocks. He put a paw on one and was able to feel where zamas was and how she is feeling. He was surprise to feel a hint of anger towards audrey and then shame at her anger. He quickly remove his paw and look at audrey for an explanation.
"The bond isn't just to know where a pack member is. It also to make sure all members are mentally ok as well. That is why you can feel her emotions. She can feel yours as well since it a two way street. But now come here. There are more rocks in this forest that I can sense. Nice that your mind is a peaceful forest. I visit others but some of them is not what I would call peaceful." She said as they walk a bit to a clearing with four flashing rocks. The rocks was grey but each one flash a color that belong to the others.
"They just waiting for you to accept them in the pack bond. Just put your paw on them to bring them in." She sat down as sandy went towards each rock and put a paw on the ariel rock. Soon as he did, a rope appear leading back to zamas and sandy rocks, connecting them together. The rock stop flashing and is in ariel colors of black and red. He close his eyes and move the rock next to zamas. Outside, ariel open his eyes and grin as he felt the bond. So this is the bond, he thought as he went and sat next to zamas. Welcome to the pack, she murmurs as she gave ariel a small lick. She cough to cover her embarrassment at what she did as she waited to see the others. Ariel just grin as his tail start to wag. This is what he been missing. Sandy touch dallas rock next, knowing he must be nervous on being accepted. Dallas jump a bit when he felt it. His wolf tail was wagging as he felt the protection magic surround him. He breathe slowly to calm himself down as he went to sit besides zamas other side. Now there was only two left.
Audrey watch all this and grin. Seems he doesn't need much help after all. Accepting others into the bond is much harder than everyone thinks. It wasn't just put a paw on a rock like what sandy was doing. He had to open himself up and let them in. Most werewolves have trouble with that part but unknown to sandy, she can feel that he been accepted them a long time ago. This was just making it official. She went to the area with the rocks and heard music coming from them. What is this? She wonder as she walk closer to zamas rock. Is the music how he feels about each of them? She listened to zamas rock for a bit, not knowing that outside her tail was drumming the beat of the song. Sandy finish and grin when he sent the rest of the rocks to the others. Now they was all connected and he felt so complete. He went to the rocks and wag his tail as he saw them connected by several ropes. Each rope had a different color that shows his connection to each of them. Zamas had a gold rope that connect to him while another rope was silver that connect to the others. He saw audrey listening to ariel rock, shook her head, going to each one.
"Apparently the only music is in zamas rock. You should let her know what you really feeling. We are done here. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." She said before fading away.
Sandy finally open his eyes and look at everyone. He grin as he look at his pack. Zamas look a bit confused as she was watching audrey's tail til it stop. But then it hit him. This is his pack. He is not an alpha but they trust him to have their best interest in mind. He can feel the pack bond connecting them together. Audrey left him to jump back on the rock. Zamas came towards him as if she can smell the anxiety attack coming and bump her head to his shoulder. The others join him, brushing fur to let him know he wasn't alone and to trust them to take care of themselves and him. Sandy sigh as he felt them.
"Packs are all about taking care of each other. The alpha may be in charge but they are nothing without a pack. If you want to become an alpha, we have to wait for the night of the new moon. Since it a new phase for that wolf life, same with the new phase of the moon. Only if you feel like you are ready." Audrey said with a small wink that sandy caught. He almost forgot that she was there. Again he felt a flash of anger from zamas. Could it be she is jealous of audrey? He thought as he stare at zamas. He gave zamas a small lick to put her at ease. His ears went down as he wonder if he overstep a bit. Zamas gave him a lick back. Audrey chuckles softly as she watch this. She knew that those two like each other so her acting close to sandy was a way to get sandy feeling zamas emotions so he knows how she felt about him. Even blind people would see the sparks flying between those two. She let out a short bark to gain their attention.
"Now that you guys are a pack, I can help the others connect to the bond stronger. Zamas, sandy. You two can go. I want to work with the others first. Going to teach them how to close the bond so you won't get overwhelmed. And sandy. Remember what we talk about." Audrey look at both of them before leading the others deeper in the forest.
Sandy sigh as he went to get his clothes and shift back. Zamas look confused but felt a hint of awkwardness when audrey said that. That wasn't her emotion so it had to be sandy. This bond is great. Plus she can ask him why audrey tail was doing the beat to David Archuleta crush song? It took a while but she knew music and know that beat very well. It help that audrey's paws was doing the other beats as well. She shift back and got her clothes from behind the tree. After dressing, she asks sandy to follow her as this talk been a long time coming. So much happened, the heat passed and now the hunters but now they can finally talk. She should have done this much earlier, back when she was playing video games in his room when his leg was in a cast. Was that a month ago? All this happened in a month! She lead him to the other side of the forest, away from the house so they won't be overheard.
"My wolf want....I want..." Sandy begin to stutter as he stop walking once they was deep enough. Zamas stop and turn around, knowing how hard it was for him to talk about emotions.
Why can't he say it? This is his best friend. And yet he did the one thing he promise himself never to do. He fell for her. She deserve better than him. Someone who can be more open. He can't force his feelings on her. He don't want her to think he was like those guys who only been a friend just hoping to get more. This crush isn't going away and now with the pack bond, he has to let her know. Not just for her but for himself. Breathing deeply he start again.
"Zamas. I don't know the right words and I don't want you to think you have to accept. I will understand your decision. The thing is..." He look into her eyes before whispering the words. "I like you more than friends." He then lean against the tree as if his legs couldn't hold him up anymore. In his mind he picture his wolf jumping up and down screaming mate mate! He look down at the ground for it was safer than looking at his former friend and seeing disgust there. That the only expression he ever saw when growing up and those kids pull that trick just to see him get destroy emotionally. Every time a person will tell him that a girl likes him and when he approach her, it always end the same way. From elementary to high they pull that trick. A laugh or an eww before their faces shows disgust. It why he stays alone. So what that zamas became his friend despite the rumors. And they grew up together since middle school. She is his friend out of pity so what is he expecting? Once she finds someone better, then she will leave. That what happens to every friend he had. At least he got it out.
Zamas felt so much emotions in such a short time that she still can't believe it came from one person. This bond was never this active til now. She begin to walk towards him and gave him a fierce hug. Burying her face in his chest, she whisper. "I had a crush on you for so long. Wasn't sure how you would react to my confession but you beat me to the punch. And I know that your wolf want me as a mate. Was waiting for the human side to catch up. It about time!"
Sandy was surprise by her hug, his back slamming into the tree. He wrap his arms around her, holding her tight as he breathe her scent. This isn't a dream. The pain on his back told him it wasn't. He slowly sat down, pulling her down with him as he held her, afraid of letting her go. This feels strange but he feel happy. This is what happiness feels like. He can feel his wolf inside wanting to curl around her, protect her and fight off any males from her. He let out a soft growl as he picture other guys around his mate. He close his eyes when he felt zamas moving in his arms, getting more comfortable as she sigh softly leaning her cheek on his chest.
"We got to go back. Though I don't want to but the others might be wondering what happened to us." Zamas mutter as she look at him.
"You are right. This bond is cool but need to get used to it." He said as he let her go.
Zamas got up, held out her hand as she help him stand up. Sandy grin before walking back to the clearing with zamas by his side. It was nice to clear the air and now they both know where they stand with each other.
"May I ask you a question?" Zamas said before the house appear in sight.
"Of course." Sandy stop walking to give her his full attention.
"What happened during the heat? You sounded weird on the call. You had fun didn't you?" Zamas stare at him as his face turn beet red. He can't forget about bob and the others. There was so much pleasure and his wolf ran wild.
"Yes. My plan failed as there was werewolves and there was an orgy. They released me from my bindings and I spent the week with them. Even though my wolf want you, the heat is strong. Sorry." Sandy look down before zamas put a finger on his chin to lift his head up.
"Don't be. It was the heat so I understand. Besides I'm not going to be angry if you spend time with someone else. I'm poly remember? As long as everyone consents, you can have fun with anyone else. I don't care and I'm not like the girls who go crazy if their guy spend time with others." Zamas gave him a gentle smile. Sandy smile back as she gave him a comfort pat on his shoulder.
" Now my turn to ask a question. If you don't mind but hmm I want to kiss you but it ok to say no...I would understand of course." He begin to stutter again as he rub the back of his neck. Zamas roll her eyes a bit as he kept stuttering. Yup she can get used to this side of sandy. She grab his shirt to pull him forward so he would stop talking. She nodded so sandy gave her a small kiss on the lips. They grin at each other as she let him go.
"Aww that was sweet. Are you two ready to learn how to block the bond? Or should I come back?" Audrey said as she walk towards them with everyone else. Since she is an alpha, it wasn't a surprise that she can speak clearly in wolf form. Both of their faces turn red as they saw them. Ariel grin as he elbow dallas. Guldo gave a thumbs up while joe look surprise.
Sandy put an arm around zamas.
"We are going to learn how to fight." Ariel said as he start pushing the others to head to the house.
"I already let chaos know you are coming. You two, follow me." Audrey said as she lead them back to the clearing. Sandy remember he had his arm around zamas and quickly let her go.
"Sorry." He murmur as they walk. They shift back quickly since they knew they had to be in wolf forms.
Audrey jump on the rock and motion for them to sit down. When they did so, she taught them how to close the door on the bond so they won't get distracted by emotions. It took zamas a bit longer since sandy was used to shutting down his emotions. Audrey was a bit concern about sandy but decided not to bring it up as she didn't want to intrude. She also saw that sandy seem to be nervous around zamas now that they clear the air but she shrug it off as new mates and they still trying to find their footing.
"Congrats on being mates. That is another bond that you both have. Unlike pack bonds, mates are going to be a challenge. You are going to have to mate to place that bond on each other. Unlike in stories, there is no fated mate. Really wish those romance novels stop using that soulmate insanity. You can have more than one mate of course. We are not bind by human sensitivities but you must be careful. Werewolves are possessive by nature so you are going to have to work it out. I can't tell you anything more since all mates and their bonds are different. Also the heats are going to be worst or better depending on who you ask. The only ones able to calm down during that time is their mates. Hope you guys are ok with that. I must go now as we got visitors from other packs. Chaos is further in the forest helping ariel and dallas with shifting without human modesty issues. That is something you both need as bushes and trees aren't always going to be around." Audrey nodded at them before leaving.
Sandy watch her leave before picking up chaos scent leading them around to the north side of the forest. As he reach the place he quickly put his tail to cover zamas' eyes. They was in human forms and naked. Zamas just move away to see what going on. Ariel and dallas was covering themselves while chaos was talking. Chaos saw them and motion them to come closer.
"What happened to fighting?" Sandy asks as he look at ariel so he don't have to look at chaos' body. He was just standing there like he was waiting in front of a store. There wasn't a scent of embarrassment.
"I wanted to but chaos ask for dallas and I to head here. Said that we need training to get rid of meat modesty. Guess you both need to join us as well." Ariel look at chaos
"That right. Audrey mind link me to tell me that you three still have modesty issues. It is ok since you all was bitten but modesty is a huge weakness. So better to get it out now while it safe than trying it when hunters surround you. Now both off you shift to human form."
Sandy look at zamas before shifting in front of her, blocking her body from the others. All she could see is his back and butt. Zamas shift but she put a hand on sandy shoulder, letting him know she is ok.
"All you guys have to do is run. I let the boars out that we raised. They don't take kindly to strangers. So run in about...now." Chaos grin as they heard hooves coming closer to where they are. They look at each other before running in different directions, all thoughts of modesty out of their minds. There was five boars and two ran after sandy while the others had one each. Sandy heard chaos laughing and cursed him in his mind. Now his name made sense. He thought as he zigzag to try to make the boar trip. It didn't work since it grew up with werewolves so know the tricks. He jump to grab a branch and swung around which made the boar trip and slam into a tree. He drop down to check on the boar. Despite it chasing him, he didn't want it to get hurt. He saw that one of it's hoof was stuck in a tree root so he help it out. It look surprise but didn't attack him right away. He gave it a small pet as the other one ran up. It look like they plan to cut him off but stop when it friend got hurt. That was a short chase but harsh as he was breathing heavily.
"Look like you need stamina training as well." Chaos said as he walk up.
"That is true but I wasn't expecting to be chased today." Sandy reply as he took chaos hand to help him up.
"It worked though. Don't seem so shy anymore. You looking straight at me. Nothing beats modesty better than plain survival." He chuckles a bit before letting out a sharp whistle. The boars stop chasing the others and ran to him, sitting in a line. Zamas, dallas and ariel all walk towards them breathing hard. Nobody was covering anything and that was chaos plan all along. To get them comfortable enough in their skin that they don't think of covering themselves, even around others. Running helps with that a lot.
"Modesty training is a success. Now you can join the fight training. Shift back to wolf form and follow me." Chaos shift at the same time as the others. Sandy noticed that he is the same type of wolf that he is. Guess this pack has different types of wolves. Of course the only full pack he knew is the eastern pack and he saw them in wolf and human forms. He knows alex pack but he only saw alex and the one that taught him the bite flip move, dan. Maybe the rest was the same types as alex and dan.
"Sandy? Hello? Are you ready to go?" Chaos wave a paw in front of his face to get his attention. He shook his head to focus, realizing that chaos has the same eyes as his human form. Left eye is brown while the right is green. Guess that answer one question he had. He saw that his fur is pale blonde with a long red stripe that reminded him of pachirisu from pokemon. Chaos tilt his head in confusion before starting to walk to the fighting arena. They heard snarls and thuds as bodies fell hard. It was north from the house and sandy eyes widened as he watch others fighting. He hate to admit it but he loves violence but cuz of his anger issues, he holds himself back. There is pairs of werewolves fighting and he counted six teen wolves which he suspects is the kids. The kids did look like they was ten or twelve when he saw them and now knew this is where they spent most of their time. They each had their own dirt circle to fight in and it also answered another question he had. This pack is full of different wolf types. With him,zamas, ariel and dallas, that makes ten of them. Dallas sniff a bit as his excitement begin to take over. He couldn't help it. Ariel shook his head as chaos grin.
"I'm guessing you really like to fight. Would you like me to show you some moves or do you want to try your best against each other?" Chaos asks as he look over at sandy.
"Didn't know you like to fight. Seem so gentle and soft spoken. But it will be fun. I'm going to watch first." Ariel said as he sat down and watch the teens fight.
"Zamas, are you going to fight? Never fought before so this be new for me. Want to see what my teeth and claws can do. I can smell sandy's excitement. Getting me excited too." Dallas' tail start to wag as he look at chaos. Chaos grin at him as he let out a sharp bark. The kids stop fighting, shaking the dirt from their fur.
"Hey it the bitten pack. Don't think they are ready for fighting. Heard from guldo that they was doing modesty training when I asks where they are." Sneered one as they walk up.
"Bitten pack is the perfect name for them, charles. Don't think they even can fight. At least like one of us. Using weak meat moves. " Another join in.
"Charles! Jack! Enough! Let give them a chance to prove themselves." This time a female voice sounded smug as they look them over.
Zamas bared her fangs at them as she growl. Sandy let out a loud snarl which surprise everyone by the aura that wash over them. Chaos eyes narrow a bit before letting out another bark to shut everyone up.
"Let me introduce everyone. Charles is the amber one with the blonde circle mark on his muzzle. I often say that mark is a way to let you know he all bark and no bite. Jack is the one with grey on top and white on bottom, kinda like your fur pattern zamas. Except of course without a black line separating them. Scarlet is the one who is bloodthirsty. She fights better than both jack and charles. She only friendly if you prove you got fighting talent and is the red one with the black stripe on her tail. Leo is the panda looking one who is friendlier than the others. As seen during breakfast. Sophia is the black with red patches on her fur. So no that isn't blood, just markings. I'm sure you noticed grace. She is one of the unique fur colors I ever saw. Left side is white while right side is red. She the one with my type of eyes too. Left is green while right is blue. Not often you see heterochromia in meats but in werewolves, it more common. Don't know why." Chaos said while the teens sat down, facing them.
"Thought the kids was ten years old or around that age. How they grew to teens already?" Sandy asks.
"We are ten and twelve in human forms. Our werewolf forms grow much faster and we don't stop til we reach adult. It why we are here. To train to fit in since our strength is much stronger than what our bodies show. Once our human form reach ten years old, our wolf form is teen. We don't understand why it this way but we think it has to do with the great wolf. After all it hard to attack pups if they can defend themselves til the adults arrive. It a way to protect ourselves. You guys are lucky to be bitten as adults. Puberty is hard." Leo answered with a kind look.
At least one kid is kind to them. Sandy thought as he look at leo. Grace hadn't said anything but she looks at them like they smelt of dung. So they want us to prove ourselves. That easy to do. He look at the others before giving them a nod. Ariel and dallas was baring their fangs in anger as well, which to him means they want to prove themselves as well. Chaos just watch, wondering if sandy would rise to the challenge.
"How about we hold a small tournament? My friends against yours? There is six of you and six of us. We can fight tomorrow since it wouldn't be fair to fight you now. You just finished fighting each other." Sandy said as he rub his fur against the others to calm them down.
"I would like to see that." Audrey walk towards them in human form.
"But for now I got news. Ron is awake. And he asks us to gather. Don't forget your clothes." Audrey walk back to the house with the kids and chaos following her. The rest of them ran to where they left their clothes and shift back. This was great. His mentor is alive but he wonders what happened. He can feel zamas worry for him, glancing at him every so often. They ran back to the house, following the scent trails. Sandy reach the living room first, seeing guldo and joe already seated. The rest of the avon pack was in various chairs, looking at a bandaged ron, who look up and gave him a smile. He quickly sat down close to joe and guldo, patting them on the shoulder, knowing that touches relax them. Ron notices this and nodded. Ariel, joe and zamas sat close to them as well, showing ron that they are a pack.
Ron look around, seeing that sandy have gotten used to being a werewolf and he doesn't flinch when touching others anymore. He is happy that he found the avon pack, since it was one of the biggest packs on this side of the world. He never felt so hurt til now, when he has to tell the news that the watchers are done. He close his eyes, winces a bit as his ribs was bruised. He begin telling them how when he reach the watchers, they were having a discussion on coming out to the meats. He disagreed of course. We always live side by side with meats, there always been a line there. Meats would go on the war path if they knew they wasn't apex predators. Their technology advances is why hiding is getting harder. With their drones and spy cameras, hunters are getting closer and smarter. They are scared, getting reports from werewolves who are getting blackmail from the government. The ones in the army just disappeared so we know they are getting experiment on. They try to kill him but he not known as the ghost beast for nothing. Had to fight through hunters and rouges to get here, which is why he was so beat up. He was breathing heavily as helen check him over.
Everyone look at each other when ron finished his story. They toss out ideas and suggestions on what to do but without coming up with a plan everyone can agree on, they decided to sleep on it. Sandy felt like there a collar around his neck, squeezing him as time runs out. They just became werewolves! Now his whole species is in danger. How the hell can they face against the government? Sandy spent the night in a daze as the night went by. He never felt so hopeless before.
