Chapter 101: The War 

Logan led his troops, combined with wolves from Starseeker, into Moonshine territory. He nodded behind him, having Thomas and Carson split off with several of the wolves for a frontal attack on Damon’s mansion. 

Santino stayed close to Logan, helping lead a smaller group of wolves intent on infiltrating Damon’s home, bringing him down once and for all. 

Heads low to the ground, the wolves stalked through the high grass and underbrush. Logan was disgusted with how unkept the territory was. Land that was meant for farming was overgrown with weeds. Orchards full of fruit bearing trees had been choked with moss and vines that crept up the trunks. 

He shook his head, snorting out of his nose as they silently padded through the land that had fallen into disarray. No wonder raiding parties had been coming into his territory. They were starving and desperate. No Alpha should let their pack fall into such decay! It was cruel and it just proved how unworthy Damon was to be Alpha. That was why Holly’s father had never named him as his successor. 

Logan’s ears perked up when he heard the sounds of snarling and tearing that he knew meant Carson and Thomas were engaged in battle. Lifting his head, he turned his ears in that direction, listening. Santino stopped and listened too. The big fight was meant to be a distraction, but Logan knew that there would be some injuries and losses from the distraction. He also knew that Damon wouldn’t be entirely unprotected. It was his Alpha nature to want to go and help his pack members, but he had to stay focused on the task at hand. Grunting, Logan put his head down again and resumed his silent approach towards Alpha Damon’s mansion. 

It was one of the farthest buildings from the Night Sky territory border. Damon thought that meant it would give him an advantage, that he would see anyone coming from miles awayor that he’d be alerted to their presence long before he was in danger. That was one of the reasons Carson and Thomas had led the frontal attack. All eyes were watching that fight. Damon would never consider that Logan was sneaking in from elsewhere. Since he was a coward, Damon would assume Logan was too, the kind of Alpha that hung back and let others fight for him. Logan wasn’t that kind of Alpha. He was going straight for the kill. Opening his mouth, his tongue hung out as he panted in anticipation. Logan picked up his pace, Damon’s mansion coming into view. He growled under his breath, ready to fight!

Logan nudged Santino and the two of them went around the back of the house. There, Logan transformed back into human and Santino did too. They’d come prepared, keeping a pair of shorts tied around their calves when they transformed. “Inside, Damon won’t shift unless he absolutely has to,” Logan said. “If he does?” Santino asked. Logan sighed. “We’ll still have the upper hand, and enough time for at least one of us to shift before the other gets shredded” he said with a note of humor. Santino chuckled and nodded. “Can you believe what he has let happened to the territory?” he asked. Logan shook his head.

Unfortunately, Damon hadn’t considered what would happen if they broke through his patrol before his army! The basement door opened and a few pack members appeared, changed into their human forms. “There is a very luxurious, newly built wine cellar down there,” he reported. Logan rolled his eyes. “Well, it is nice to see that he has prioritized his resources,” Logan muttered. “Letting his people starve while he builds a new space to hold some hardy Bordeaux,”
