Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

The walk to the stadium had become a ritual in itself. We walked in silence, all of us focused on the task at hand, the

unknown game we would be playing. Last time it had been easy and fun. None of us expected it to be the same today. When we took our seats, it was ten minutes to nine. Finlay and Sam were on high alert and resembled bobble head

figures as they tried to watch all of the stadium at once.

“Dear packs. We have now passed the halfway mark of the games. Today’s game will be hide and seek,” the speaker’s

voice told us. Our pack perked up. The twice yearly hide and seek competitions were a loved tradition in our pack and we

had our champion with us. “Each pack will designate one or more seekers and one or more hiders. How many in each

role is up to you. The hiders will have a ten minutes’ head start to hide within the designated area. When the seekers are

allowed to start, they will try to find as many of the other packs hiders as possible. When they have found someone, they

will howl and an official will confirm they have found a hider. You will have two hours. When the time is up, every hider

who hasn’t been found will amount to twenty-five additional found targets for their pack. Claws, teeth or any other

violence is not allowed. You have the time until you arrive at the designated area to decide how to divide your pack.”

Everyone stood up and we were escorted to buses.

‘Amie and Jake are the best at hiding, as long as she stays in human form,’ Sam started our discussion.

‘I think I should hide as well,’ Ramses said.

‘It makes sense. If we stay hidden all the way to the end, it will be worth it,’ Jake agreed.

‘It does,’ I agreed as well. ‘You and the Alpha are good seekers,’ I said.

‘So are you,’ Finlay told me.

‘I don’t know if I’m twenty-five finds good,’ I admitted. Everyone nodded. We had a plan. When we walked off the bus,

there was a man noting down who would be hider and who would be seeker. It was the same area as we had been in for

the tag game.

‘Stay in touch with each other via mindlink and stay safe,’ Finlay reminded us before the first signal sounded. I sprinted

off towards an area I remembered had trees, bushes and large boulders. I found a good spot which had me out of sight,

but still allowed me to see in the directions where I guessed most would be coming from. When I hid, I had made sure no

one was around, but as I waited for the second signal and the release of the seekers, another wolf came running. He
