15 Storm breaking…

Ramsey

It’s been 6 days – nearly a week since we brought Lyla to the Pack healers at White Moon Mountains. They were the best healers ever but still; Lyla hadn’t

woken up.

Her wounds were too deep and severe and because she had no wolf, she was healing slowly – barely making any progress if you ask me. She just lay there, unconscious, without moving or anything.

And I hated it.

I have been in a constant state of tension since that day. Not just that, the entire territory of the White Mountains and the Packs in the territory were on high alert after another Feral attack. This time, it had happened at the lower borders and they had targeted the soldiers on patrol there.

How they had managed to infiltrate the border remained a mystery to us since there was no breach in our security walls, and neither was anything picked. Since then, we’ve spotted a few of them roaming outside the

territory… but not attacking.

Ideally, they weren’t really attacking us. All the soldiers so far had survived… which was so strange for Feral Wolves who didn’t stop until their prey was dead. All the soldiers that had gotten injured were the ones who attacked

first.

Reports from some of the packs in the region confirmed that they just came in groups and would stare for a long time, then turn and go away.

It was as if something was attracting them to the White Mountains but it was a mystery to all of us. Every day, I made rounds, inspecting each duty post personally. There was tension in the air and I knew all our warriors were on the edge, but I’ve ordered them not to attack.

Since the Ferals weren’t engaging us, it was best we leave them alone until we figured out what was happening. I had also minimized movement in and out of the pack’s territory, putting the whole region on lockdown.
