It was time for the fourth game and we all gathered at the stadium, I got a feeling of familiarity. We had done this before,

and we had done well. We sat in our usual seats and waited for the clock to turn nine. On the dot, the speaker switched

on.

“Welcome to the fourth game. Today’s game will be played by all the packs at the same time. It will focus on strength,

agility and tactical planning. Everyone will have a flag tied to your waist with a symbol for your pack on it. Your objective

is to keep your own flags and steal as many from the other packs as possible. Once you lose your flag, you can no longer

participate and have to join the onlookers. All the flags you have gathered will be given over if your flag is lost. Using

teeth or claws is forbidden. It is allowed to shift, but if you lose your flag while doing so, you will be out. The game will be

ongoing for two hours. We will now take you to the area in which it will take place. If you stray outside the designated

area, you will be disqualified. You have the time while we transport you to work out your tactics and ten minutes when

you get there to secure the flags. When the ten minutes are up, the game will begin.” We looked at each other.

‘This will be chaos,’ Sam mind linked us as we made our way to the waiting bus.

‘Any idea on how we will handle it?’ Finlay asked.

‘We can go on the offensive and try to catch a lot of flags, or we can go defensive and make sure no one gets ours,’ Jake

said.

‘I don’t think we can stay defensive, we won’t collect too many flags that way,’ I mused. ‘Ramses and I are quick and

stealthy. What if the three of you find a good place to stay defensive, keep an eye out for easy targets and make sure we

at least have your flags. Ramses and I will go on the defensive and collect flags. We can then pass them on to you so we

don’t risk losing them,’ I suggested.

‘I don’t know,’ Finlay linked.

‘It’s a brilliant plan,’ Jake said, oblivious to why Finlay was hesitant.

‘I agree with Jake,’ Sam said with a grin.

‘If we do, you can’t shift with the colour of your wolf,’ Ramses said.

‘That’s a good idea!’ I told him.

‘I know, red stands out like a sore thumb. They will spot you straight away,’ he agreed.

‘And that is what we want,’ I told him.

‘What?’ all the others linked as one.

‘I will shift and use my colour to put the focus on me. Ramses will sneak up and get their flags. Easy-peasy,’ I explained.

‘It sounds too easy,’ Ramses said.

‘Agreed,’ Finlay said.
