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 .

No one came in or out without direct permission from me .

Despite all of this , my attention was still split .

Half of me was focused on keeping everyone safe but the other … The desperate half was still worried about Lyla .

I hated that I couldn’t be by her side , not like Nathan who had barely left her side since we brought her in .

I had to stop myself from yelling at him , all the times I had to sneak in to see her .

.

I couldn’t afford to draw suspicion from my grandfather or even the Pack Healer .

If word got out that I was constantly frequenting the White Mountains healing ground , people would ask questions and right now , with the Region’s survival on the line , any sign of weakness could end my reign .

That’s why tonight , despite every part of me hating to be here , I was sitting down for dinner with my grandfather and Cassidy’s family .

My wolf was seething with annoyance , anytime Cassidy tried to seek my attention or brush her body against mine .

He hated her .
