Game of Destiny

Chapter 23-1

It was time for the big hide and seek tournament and I could feel the excitement in the air, We had decided to make it into an all day event. The day started with the pups‘ competition. Anyone between a toddler and the age of fifteen got ten minutes to find their hiding spot in the forest. There were five starting points spread out over the pack land. The warriors of the pack had been

of a real attack, there would enlisted as trackers. It was not an equal match, but the aim was to prepare for a future attack. In case

who wasn’t a warrior to have their turn. Then everyone would be no mercy. After the pup event, it was time for anyone above fifteen who gather and have a BBQ before the highlight of the day. The warriors would hide and the five of us in the top tier would track them. I was at one of the starting points for the pups and watched as parent were giving advice before the pups would set off.

“Amie, are you going to be tracking me?” Cadence asked.

“You know she isn’t, Mari, his older sister, told him.

“I have to save my strength for when I’m tracking the warriors,” 1 to him.

“Okay. I’m going to be so good at this. My dad has told me everything about how to find the best place to hide and mom told me how to mask my scent,” Cadence said.

“I know you will do great. You too Mari,” I told them and they hurried over to the starting point.

“I think he has his eyes set on you,” Finlay chuckled as he walked up to me.

“Who?”

“Cadence, who else? Don’t tell me you already have a horde of men courting you,” he teased me.

“Come on, he is six. And you have spent too much time with your aunt. There are no men coming after me,” I said as I rolled my

eyes.

“The little guy is playing the long game, you wait and see. The day he turns eighteen he will shou proclaim his undying love.”

“Give me a break, he’s a good little wolf. He will hold out for his mate,” I said.

“Are you ready for the day?” Finlay asked, changing subjects.

“I am. I’m looking forward to it,” I told him truthfully.

“Then we should get to the fun part,” he said. “Everyone, get ready to start the first pup cup of hide and seek!” he then called and also sent in the pack mindlink to the other sites. “Are all the pups ready to go?” he asked and got a loud ‘yes‘ from the pups around us, and the same reply via the mindlink. “You will have a ten minutes‘ head start. Ready! Set! Go!” The pups went crazy and set off in all directions. Some giggling or screaming in excitement. Some of the older ones had a firm determination that told me they were taking this seriously. We all stood waiting and listening as the ten minutes ticked by. “Warriors, get ready! Go!” Finlay called out and groups of warriors set off all over the pack land. It didn’t take long until we heard the first giggling coming from the forest. A warrior was walking out of the trees with a young pup on his shoulders.

“She was hiding in a pile of leaves. I would have missed her if it weren’t for the giggling,” the warrior told her parents as they came

to collect the still giggling little girl. No one could help but to smile as the warrior set off into the woods again and the girl excitedly told her parents about the twelve minutes they had been apart.

“So adorable,” I told Finlay.

“Very,” he agreed with a huge smile. He walked over to the family, talked a little to the girl and gave her a pat on the head, and then talked to the parents before returning. “I suggested some training on keeping quiet,” he said.
