Chapter 24: The Wolf Within
***Jane***
After a quick lunch, Kota begs me for a game of hide and seek, arguing his case by giving me a pair of cute puppy eyes.
The little boy grins triumphantly when I give in, and he asks permission from Aurora for Rio to join us.We walk around the pack for a little while until we find a quiet little patch of trees for us to play in undisturbed.
Kota and Rio take off, leaving me in the middle of a clearing to count out loud.
“O-one…Two…Th-Three…F-F-Four…”
I grow embarrassed as I stumble through the numbers and begin to count quietly to myself until I reach twenty.
“He-Here I c-come Kota!” I call out, my eyes scanning the trees for any signs of the boy.

An unfamiliar scent suddenly brushes against my nose, the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end.
Something’s wrong, Grayson observes, my ears picking up the sound of rustling in the distance accompanied by the low rumble of a snarl.
Grayson wastes no time taking control and shifting mid-sprint as we follow the sound of Rio’s barking and Kota’s cries.
Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay, I pray to my dear Moon Goddess, my heart racing at the thought of Kota being hurt.
We sprint through the trees until we see a small clearing up ahead, Kota’s scent guiding us to him.
Grayson breaks through the trees and into a clearing, a group of large unfamiliar wolves gathering in the middle as Rio barks up a storm at the intruders.
They don’t appear to be rogues, their fur shiny and well-groomed and their build strong and muscular.
Two of them appear to be Alphas, their fur black as night and both bearing a single white spot on their foreheads, the symbol of an Alpha lineage among normal alpha wolves.
One appears to be older than the other, an air of power surrounding the older one.
