‘Stay safe, if you need help, don’t be too proud to ask for it,’ Finlay linked me in our private mindlink.

‘I’m not a man, I will be careful. That goes for you as well. Don’t let that Alpha pride be your downfall,’ I answered.

‘I will be careful.’ I ran through the forest, trying to move as fast as I could while still being aware of my surroundings. I

had a secret fear I would hesitate when I needed to act. I had never killed another werewolf. I had hunted deer and

rabbits and other game who ran in the forest. But it was different with another werewolf. My answer came as I reached

the top of a hill and saw another wolf standing at the foot on the other side. She was a stranger and my wolf did not

hesitate. The strange wolf was a threat to me, and to my pack. I ran down the hill, the unknown wolf ran towards me as well. Halfway down the hill, I braced and leaped towards her. I took her by surprise and she didn’t even try to swat at me with her claws as I sailed over her. As soon as I hit the ground, I turned around. The other wolf was trying to stop her

forward movement. When she finally could turn around to come at me, I was ready. I swiped at her eyes with my claws,

she turned her head away from me to avoid being hit, exposing her neck. I threw myself at her and closed my jaws

around her throat. I felt her jugular tear and the warm fluid was everywhere. She tried to fight me off by clawing at my

chest and face. She was losing strength quickly, and I only felt one or two wounds from her attempt. When I knew for

certain she had no fight left in her and she would not survive. I let her go. I didn’t have time to spare on celebrating my

first victory. I turned around and kept running towards my goal. The closer I got to where I thought Cadence and Jon were, the more careful I was not to be spotted. The air was filled with the scent of strange wolves.

‘Cade, Jon, are you okay?’ I mindlinked the boys.

‘Amie!’ they both mindlinked back.

‘We are okay, but there are a lot of wolves outside who we don’t know,’ Cadence told me.

‘I know. I’m close. Are you in the small cave behind the pine tree?’ I asked.

‘Yes.’

‘Good job. That is the best place to hide around here. Stay where you are and stay quiet.’ I was now moving as slowly as

possible to not let the other wolves know I was there. I was hoping to sneak close to the cave and keep watch as the boys

sneaked out. Neither of them had their first shift yet, so they had to stay in their human form. It complicated things a bit,

but I had hope. I slowly crawled to the top of the hill the cave was located in. I looked over the edge and any thought of

getting the boys to sneak out of the cave was gone. Below was a large group of wolves, it seemed this was where they

had set their base for the invasion. ‘Finlay, the main force of the attackers are just below the cave by the pine tree where

the boys are,’ I mindlinked him.

‘Fuck, okay, they need to stay in place and we will all work our way towards you. Stay put!’ he replied.
