(Damian’s POV)

I looked around the forest to see I was alone.
"Hello?"
I turned when I heard something behind me, stopping when I saw something move in and out of the trees.
It was white.

“Damian!"
I blinked a few times before I saw Denzel standing in front of me.
"Den?"
"You're finally awake! Come on, the Alpha says it's time to go."
I sighed and stretched before I stood up.
It was only a dream.
I looked over to see everyone walking toward the Alpha and I followed them.
He turned to us; "From this moment on we are all on high alert. This is the most dangerous part of our journey." He looked at each of us, "You each are going to be walking in groups of two. Julianna will be paired with Zephyr. Elazar will be paired with Zeke and Ravette will be with Sera." He paused, "Velorina will be with Denzel and," He turned to me, "Damian you’re going to be with me."
We all nodded, "Yes sir."
I watched as everyone walked to their partners before I walked over to the Alpha.
He looked at me, "Stay close to me."
I nodded and he turned to the others, "Are we ready?!"
"Yes sir!"
"Then let's go."

It had been an hour since we started walking when the Alpha stopped and turned to the group, "From here we'll all be splitting up. Sera, Zeke, Zephyr and I each know where to go." He turned and reached into his bag, "Velorina this is the map of the area and I've marked where we'll be meeting."
Velorina nodded and took the map from him, opening it.
Denzel glanced at it and looked at it confused, "There is nothing marked on here."
"To the untrained eye no."
He looked at the Alpha.
"I’ve been training Velorina in my office, teaching her what she needs to know to help an Alpha out anyway they need it, as well as showing her what her power is fully capable of. She will guide you youngling. She will be the leader of your group."
Denzel glanced at Velorina and sighed, "Yes sir."
The Alpha nodded, "Then let's go. I'll see you all at out meeting point tonight."
"Yes Alpha."
He turned to me, "Follow me Damian."
I nodded and followed him forward.

I looked around the area as we walked. It was quiet in these woods at night. At least the stars were out.
I turned to the Alpha to see him watching in front of him. I wonder what he's thinking about?
I sighed and looked back at the many trees. Should I say something to him? Even though I've worked with him for a few months now, I still don't know what to say to him. I don't know what to say to an Alpha.
“Something on you mind youngling?"
I looked up to see him glancing at me, "Uh..."
He slowed down until I was next to him, "You know you can ask me anything. I've told you all this before." He looked straight, "And I can tell you have at least one question."
I sighed again, "Well... How did you become an Alpha sir?"
He glanced at me, "What made you think of that question?"
"Um... You just always seem to know what to do. You know exactly what to say and when... What to look for..."
“I learned how to be an Alpha from my experiences. I learned what I needed to do to help people who followed me, and how to protect them.” He paused, “It has taken a long time to learn all I know.”

(3rd POV)

Denzel turned to Velorina, “How much farther?”
“We only just stared Den.”
“Yeah and I want to know how much farther.”
Velorina rolled her eyes, “Can we talk about something else?”
“Like what?”
She smiled, glancing at him, “Like why you won’t leave Ravette alone.”
“W-What do you mean?”
“Do you like her Den?”
“N-No! W-Why would you think that?!”
“You stuttered! You do like her! When are you going to ask her out?”
“Uh…” He looked away from her, “I… uh… What’s that?!”
“Den! Get back here!” She sighed as Denzel disappeared into the darkness, shaking her head before she chased after him.
She stopped when she caught up with him, “You know you can’t run away from this… Den?”
He narrowed his eyes as he looked at something in the distance, “What’s that?”

Julianna looked at Zephyr, “So… How did you become Damian’s Mentor?”
Zephyr looked down at her, “Why do you ask?”
“Just wondering. It’s not everyday that the third in command Mentor’s someone in the clan. Let alone a turned. So…?”
He sighed, “Brendan asked me to do it.”
“Why would the Alpha care who mentored him?”
“Brendan cares for everyone Julianna. I trust his judgments and agreed to Mentor Damian when he first came in.”
She glanced at him, “Then… Do you know who turned him?”
Zephyr glanced at her before turning forward, “I do.”
“Will you tell me who?”
He sighed but stopped when he saw something, narrowing his eyes, “Julianna, get behind me.”

Sera smiled down at Ravette, “I see you’ve been practicing your power.”
“I have. It’s so much easier to control it since I’ve trained with you miss.”
“Everything is easier to control with practice. Element powers are a little harder to control because they exist without us. We just learn to manipulate their forms, we don’t fully control them and if you believe you do then you can never fully understand its power.”
Ravette nodded, lifting her hand and watching as the shadows around her moved, “It’s harder to control at night.”
Sera smiled, “With a power like yours it will be. During the day there are many, small shadows but at night the darkness is the shadow, it’s everywhere and stronger during the night. When we’re out of these woods I’ll help you practice some more.”
“Thank you miss.”
Sera nodded, turning forward but stopped, “Ravette. Get down.”

Zeke smiled, “Okay, so I’ll ask you something then you can ask me something.”
Elazar nodded.
“Can you really change your voice anyway you want?”
“Yes, I can. The Alpha has been helping me with practicing and controlling it better. So far I can only copy sounds that I’ve heard before.”
Zeke nodded, “Cool.”
Elazar looked at him, “What happens when you turn something invisible? Do you have to guess where it is or can you see it?”
“I can see them. I can always see them. I sometimes wonder what it looks like to other people since I’ve never actually seen anything disappear before, but I know when they do… I can kind of feel when my power works on them.”
Elazar nodded, “Interesting.”
Zeke smiled, “Can you show me one of your voices?”
“Sure… Um…”
He watched as Elazar cleared his throat before he smiled.
“I can always feel when my power works, I can’t see it but I know its working.”
Zeke laughed when he heard his voice, “That’s so cool! Is that really what I sound like?”
Elazar nodded but looked over when he saw something move behind Zeke before his eyes went wide; “Watch out!”

Brendan looked down at Damian, “How have you adjusted to life as a vampire?”
Damian looked up at him, “Well… It was hard at first sir… For the first few months I barely left Zephyr’s and my room. After my first day of class it became harder since I seemed to be the target for bullies…” He smiled, “But it was nice after I met my friends. I don’t think I could’ve gotten to where I am now without them.”
Brendan nodded, “What do you remember from that time?”
“Sir?”
“What do you remember from being turned?”
Damian looked down, “Uh… Not much sir. Zephyr told me that I used to wake up screaming from nightmares but I could never remember what was in them… I think they had to do with that night. I do remember the pain though.” He looked up, “Why sir?”
Brendan looked down at him but stayed quiet as he turned forward.
“Sir–?”
Brendan stopped and turned when he heard that, to see Damian frozen. He looked around the area, keeping watch as he waited for him to come out of the vision.
He turned back, seeing Damian take a breath and blink.
Damian looked at him, “Alpha! Something’s–”
They turned when they heard some leaves rustle.
“Coming.”
Brendan narrowed his eyes, as the sound got louder before he looked around him, putting his hand to his mouth and pointed to the tree above them.
Damian watched as he jumped up into the branches. He glanced toward the area of the sounds before he followed him into the tree.
He stopped on the branch next to Brendan and they both watched the ground quietly.
Brendan narrowed his eyes as two dark shapes walked under the tree, looking around the area before stopping and running back into the forest.
Damian looked at Brendan. He opened his mouth, his eyes going wide when Brendan’s hand quickly went over his mouth.
He looked back down to see a few more figures walk under the tree and looked around.
Damian turned when Brendan slowly removed his hand from his mouth and watched as his eyes moved around the area before they stopped.
Brendan lifted his hand slowly, flicking his wrist.
Damian looked down when he heard a small noise to see the figures turn and run off the other way. He looked back at Brendan, staying quiet as he continued to watch the ground.
After a moment Brendan sighed and turned to Damian, “Never talk before you’re sure they’re gone.”
He nodded, “Sorry sir… What were they?”
“Scouts. Scouts for the territory.”
“But… they didn’t look like scouts…”
Brendan shook his head, “Not the kind you’re used to but scouts all the same. They’re the reason this is the most dangerous part of our journey.” He stopped, looking down at the ground and lowered his voice, “This entire country is the home of werewolves.”
Damian’s eyes went wide and looked down, watching as a couple more scouts walked around the area under the tree.
The first wolf sniffed the ground as the other walked around the tree, sniffing the air.
Brendan placed his hand on Damian’s shoulder moving him closer to the trunk as the second wolf looked up into the branches.
They quickly turned and Brendan looked into the distance as he heard a howl echo through the forest before the wolves growled and ran toward the sound.

---oOo---
(Brendan’s POV)

I narrowed my eyes at the howl in the distance. Werewolves don’t howl unless they’re bringing the pack together.
I stood up on the branch, Damian doing the same as he turned to me, “They’re gone sir. Should we go?”
I turned to him, “Actually Damian, we’re going to take a detour.”
He looked at me confused.
“We’re going to follow those scouts. They wouldn’t howl at this time of night unless there was a good reason.”
I saw him look in the distance for a moment before he turned and nodded, “Okay sir.”
I nodded, “Stay in sight of me, we’re going to follow them from the trees and stay quiet.”
“Yes sir.”
I turned and jumped into the next tree, going the way the wolves went until I saw them in front of me. I made sure to stay just far enough back so that they don’t notice me.

It didn’t take long before I noticed the trees start to thin out and stopped, turning to see Damian stop behind me.
He looked at me, keeping his voice low, “What do we do now?”
“We watch.”
He nodded as I turned and walked toward the edge of the forest line, looking through the leaves but staying where they couldn’t see me.

---oOo---
(3rd POV)

Brendan and Damian watched as the two wolves ran into the field, stopping by a group of people.
Brendan narrowed his eyes when they changed into their human forms and turned to the other people.
"Did you find anything?"
One of them shook their head, "No sir. We followed the scent…"
"But we lost it around a large group of trees."
“Then they were probably in those trees!" The man sighed, "But they probably left that area already." He turned, "Our leaders will be happy that we caught some of the trespassers."
Damian's eyes went wide when he saw two figures being held behind them.
One of the figures grit their teeth, not being able to see anything from the blindfold, "Let us go!"
The other nudged him in the arm, "Quiet Denzel. Don't start anything."
The man turned to Velorina, "At least one of you is smart. For a Vampire."
She looked up, "I don't know why you're holding us. I already told you we were just passing through."
"Then why did your youngling attack us?"
"BECAUSE YOU TRIED TO ATTACK US!!"
"Denzel!"
"Not what our scouts told us."
Denzel grit his teeth again about to yell when he stopped.
"We got more!"
They all turned and Velorina's eyes went wide, "Julianna!"
She looked up, "Velorina!"
The werewolf let go of Julianna and she ran over to her sister, her hands tied behind her back, "They got you too?" She turned, "Why does Denzel have a blindfold?"
Denzel huffed turning toward her voice, "Apparently I can't copy when I can't see. Not fun."
Velorina and Julianna both rolled their eyes at him before Velorina looked at her sister, “How did they get you?”
Julianna sighed as another figure was escorted towards them, “Zephyr saw them coming and he didn’t want me to get hurt so he said we would come with them peacefully if they didn’t attack. There weren’t many of them so I don’t know why we didn’t fight or run.”
Zephyr looked down at her, “Fighting wouldn’t be smart Julianna. We are in their territory and they would see that as a threat.”
She sighed as Velorina turned to Denzel, “A threat you say?”
“Yeah Velorina, I get it. But they attacked us first!”

Brendan watched as they were all led into the center of the field, where they could easily be watched.
Damian turned to him, seeing him narrow his eyes at the scene but stayed quiet and waited for him to say something.
Brendan sighed but turned when more people walked into the clearing.

Velorina’s eyes went wide when they saw the new figures, causing Julianna to turn around.
The area seemed to go quiet as she took a sharp breath, her eyes filling with tears as a guard held her back.
“Elazar!”
She struggled against the guards grip as she saw them carrying him toward them, his eyes closed, clothing torn and blood covering his skin.
Tears streamed down her face when she saw them turn toward the other side of the clearing, walking away from them.
Julianna quickly kicked her leg to her side, hitting the guard that was holding her before she broke the rope that was holding her hands and tried to punch him but turned when she felt something grab her hands. She looked up into Zephyr’s eyes before she closed hers and cried, falling to her knees.
Velorina looked at one of the guards and they seemed to understand, untying her hands and let her kneel with her sister as she cried on her shoulder.

Brendan grit his teeth after seeing what had happened.
“What happened…?”
Damian turned but saw him still facing forward.
“Zeke. What happened?”
Damian’s eyes went wide when he saw Zeke appear on the other side of Brendan, his head low.
“I couldn’t do anything… It happened too fast for me to do anything…”
Brendan closed his eyes and took a breath.
After a moment he tilted his head, eyes still closed, “Sera. Ravette. I know you’re there.”
Damian turned around to see them walk out from behind the trunk before they sat on the branches behind them.
Brendan opened his eyes and turned around, “I’m sure you already know what’s happened Sera.”
She nodded, “Yes. What do you want to do?”
Brendan looked at everyone around him and sighed, “Something unexpected. Stay behind me and don’t attack no matter what.”
Everyone nodded as he stood up, “Yes sir.”
Damian couldn’t believe it when he jumped out of the branches and started to walk into the clearing. He took a breath himself, trusting him, and jumped out of the tree too, following the rest of the group.
Everyone in the clearing stopped and turned when they saw him before some of them rushed at him.
Brendan simply looked up, his eyes cold and they all stopped as he walked passed them, toward the man that he noted to be leader.
The man turned to him, “Who are you and what are you doing here?!”
Brendan looked down at him, “My name is Brendan Adlam and you have some of my clan members.”
Everyone froze when they heard his name and the man looked at him, “A-Adlam? W-What’s an A-Adlam doing here?”
“I’m here to take back my followers. What the youngling said was the truth, we are only passing through.”
The man looked over at the group they had tied up before he turned back toward Brendan, and took a breath, “You say you’re passing through but one of your pack members attacked our scouts.”
Damian looked over to see Denzel grit his teeth but didn’t say anything in front of the Alpha.
Brendan glanced over at the group too, “I know these younglings. They would never attack unless there was a good reason.” He looked at the man, “I’m sure they had their reasons.”
The man sighed, “Possibly, however because of this accusation I cannot return them to you. Any attacks on the clan are handled by our Alpha.”
Brendan looked around the area for a moment seeing the pack starting to surround his small group before he looked back down at him, “Et lunam foedere agere. Alpha loquitur vestram rogo.”
The man looked at him, stunned, looked around the field before he turned back and bowed, “By pack law I have to accept your request. I will send for our leader right away.”
Brendan nodded as the man turned and faced the rest of the pack, “Tým balenie zákona, títo ľudia nie sú by mohli byť poškodené!” He looked at a few people near him, “Požiadal vidieť Alpha. Choď a povedz im žiadosť a požiadať ich, aby prišli naraz.” They nodded before they changed their forms and ran into the forest as the man turned back to Brendan, “I will follow the rules of the treaty; we will not attack you unless you attack us. I will also let your followers be untied, however they are not allowed to leave this field until my Alpha have decided what is to happen to them.”
Brendan nodded, “Of course. Nebudú odísť, kým je splnená zmluva.”
The man looked at Brendan, still stunned but nodded, “If you need anything Mr. Adlam come and ask me. My name is Seff. I am the lead scout of this pack.”
“Thank you Seff. I will.”
Brendan turned back toward his small group, “We’ll be staying here until the packs Alpha arrives. Until then I suggest you all get some rest.”

---oOo---
(Damian’s POV)

I watched as the Alpha turned toward Denzel and the others, walking toward them. We were staying here. Why were we staying here? Isn’t it dangerous to stay with a pack of werewolves surrounding us?
I glanced to my side when I saw Zeke and Serafina follow the Alpha. Why is no one else worried?
“Damian.”
I turned to see Ravette looking at me, “Yeah?”
“Do you think it’s smart to stay here? I mean; they attacked us earlier… Do you think they’ll do it again?”
I sighed, “I don’t know but would think the Alpha knows what he’s doing. I hope he does at least.”
Ravette nodded and looked behind me, “We should join the others.”
I nodded and we walked over together. When we got close I saw Julianna look up.
She narrowed her eyes when she saw Zeke before she tried to lunge at him, tears running down her cheeks, “What happened?! You were supposed to stay together! Why did you leave him?! You let him get hurt! This is your fault!”
Everyone took a step back as Velorina tried to hold her back, barley able to hold onto her.
Zeke took a step back, surprised by her actions but shook his head; “I didn’t do it on purpose Julianna. He–”
“No! I don’t want to hear it! It’s your fault he’s hurt! It’s your fault he’s bleeding! I don’t want to hear it!” She fell to her knees, “I should’ve never left him.”
Everyone stopped when the Alpha stepped in front of her, kneeling down to her level, “You need to calm down. This is not his fault. This is not your fault.” She looked into his eyes as he continued, “I know what you’re feeling Julianna. I have lost too many in my past. But you need to calm down; he is not lost to you. Blaming others, and yourself will not help him heal.” He took her hand and helped her stand up, “I will walk you over to him.”
She sniffed but nodded, letting him lead her over to the other side of the field.
I turned to see Serafina untie Zephyr’s hands. I watched as he rubbed his wrists before he walked over to Denzel, “I’m going to remove the blindfold. If you try to use your power here I will knock you out with a shock. Am I clear youngling?”
Denzel huffed, “Yeah. I won’t do anything.”
Zephyr nodded, keeping one hand on Denzel’s shoulder while he removed the blindfold with the other.
I walked over as Den blinked a few times before he looked around the area, stopping when he saw me, “What was with all the screaming?”
I sighed, “I’ll explain it to you later.”
Zephyr turned to his brother, “Zeke. I think you need to explain what happened.”
Zeke sighed but nodded, “Trust me. I didn’t want that to happen…”

---oOo---
(3rd POV)

Brendan and Julianna walked to one side of the field, where he saw them take Elazar, trying to keep Julianna calm.
All the wolves that were standing around the area, human or beast, moved and watched as they walked toward a small group.
Brendan glanced to his side, seeing one of them turn from them before he faced forward, seeing one of the people in the group turn toward them, surprised that they were walking toward them.
The others quickly turned as well, moving back as Brendan and Julianna walked passed.
Tears started to roll down her cheeks again when she saw Elazar lying on the ground and walked over, kneeling next to him.
Brendan turned to one of the wolves, “What happened to him?”
A young wolf stepped up, he had short light brown hair with brown-green eyes; “Our scouts said that he attacked them, they defended themselves and he lost the fight. They brought him back here because, even though he’s a trespasser, we do not let anyone injured without help.”
Brendan looked down at the boy, “I ensure you he did not start this fight. But I am grateful you are helping him. What wounds does he have?”
The boy sighed, glancing down at Elazar, “From our inspections he seems to have a good amount of blood loss from the fight. He has many large wounds on his arms, chest and back.” He looked back up at Brendan, “However none of the wounds seem to be too deep. It is just the shock of the wounds that caused his body to shut down.”
Brendan nodded, “What is your name youngling?”
“Naevius.”
“Thank you Naevius for your help.”
“Of course. I help anyone who needs healing. That is what I do to contribute to the pack.”
Brendan looked down at Elazar, “That is impressive for someone of your age.” He paused, “I have a request of you Naevius.”
He looked at him confused, “Yes?”
“Would you be the main healer for my follower? You seem to know everything you need to help him.” Brendan turned back to him, “I have no healers with me at the moment. I need your help to make sure those I protect are healthy.”
Naevius looked down at Elazar, “Um… I guess I can help him while he’s here… But I can’t really do anything without the leaders approval and he has to get approval from the Alpha.”
“I understand. Then help him until we leave.”
Naevius nodded, “I will do my best.”

A few hours have passed and Brendan has taken the time to talk with Seff, trying to pass the time.
Denzel, after hearing what happened to his brother, went to sit with him and Julianna.
Damian sat under one of the trees on the edge of the forest, watching the two of them next to Elazar. He stood up and walked over to them before he stopped next to Julianna.
“Julianna…”
She turned, seeing him before she turned back to Elazar, “What is it Damian?”
“I really need to tell you something.”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
“You need to know what happened…”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
“He saved Zeke, Julianna.”
Julianna quickly turned back to Damian, “What?”
Damian sighed, “He saved him. Zeke told me what happened. He said that they were talking when Elazar suddenly pushed him down to the ground. Zeke didn’t know what happened until he looked up and it was too late.” He looked into her eyes, “The scout jumped them from behind and if Elazar didn’t help him, Zeke would be much worse than Elazar is now. He said it could’ve been worse than the Alpha’s injuries.”
Julianna looked back down at Elazar, holding his hand as he leaned against a tree, sleeping.
“It’s not his fault Julianna.”
“I know. Denzel told me a little before.” She sighed, “But he didn’t tell me everything. Thank you Damian.”
He nodded, standing up, “I just thought you should know…”
He watched as nodded and leaned against the tree and closer her eyes, starting to fall asleep next to her boyfriend.

The wolves slowly started to wake up the next morning as the sun made its way above the trees, shining into the field.
One boy opened his eyes and looked around slowly, squinting from the sun.
He slowly turned his head and looked next to him.
He weakly moved one of his hands and placed it on the cheek of the one sleeping next to him, “J-Julianna…”
Julianna groaned in her sleep, moving her hand to touch what was on her cheek and slowly opened her hazel eyes. She looked down, seeing the hand before she looked forward to see teal eyes looking at her and a few tears rolled down her cheeks, “E-Elazar… y-you’re awake.”
He gave her a small smile, weakly wiping the tears from her cheeks, “Y-Yeah I am. P-Please don’t c-cry Juli.”
She leaned into his hand, more tears rolling down her cheeks, “I-I was so s-scared when I-I saw t-them bring you here. I-I didn’t know i-if you w-would wake up.” She closed her eyes, “I-I don’t know what I-I would do w-without you.”
She opened her eyes when she felt something press against her lips, seeing Elazar kissing her before he pulled away, “I-I’m awake now. Y-You don’t need to cry anymore.”
She took a small, shaky breath and nodded, carefully leaning her head against his as he closed his eyes again, “I-I love you Elazar.”
He smiled, taking her hand in his as he slowly started to fall asleep again, “I-I will a-always love you Juli.”

Brendan watched from the other side of the field, leaning against a trunk of tree, seeing that Elazar had woken up and smiled.
He turned when he saw the wolves quickly get up and ran to stand in a line.
He narrowed his eyes and turned knowing what was happening and walked over to his small group.
Damian groaned as he slowly started to wake up, back and neck sore from sleeping against a tree. He turned to see Brendan walking over to them and quickly stood up, seeing his serious expression.
Brendan looked at Damian, “Good. You’re awake. Help me wake up the others.”
Damian looked at him, “What’s going on sir?”
“The Alpha has arrived.”
Damian took a moment before he nodded and ran over to the others, shaking them to wake them up.
When they opened their sleepy eyes, seeing Brendan watching them, they quickly stood up.
Brendan nodded when they were all awake, “Good morning everyone.”
“Good morning Alpha.”
“I got you up because the Alpha of the pack is arriving. I need to be alert when they are here and because I was the one to request to speak to them, I will be the one to first greet them. You will all be standing behind me, showing respect for their Alpha.” He glanced at Damian, “Because you are in training to be an Alpha, Damian, you will be standing next to me, greeting them as I do.”
Damian nodded, nervous about what he has to do, “Yes sir.”
Brendan nodded, “Good. Follow me, they should be here now.”

The group watched as the wolves watched the tree line carefully.
Damian glanced to his side, seeing Brendan standing straight and couldn’t help but wonder where he learned to be so calm during these moments.
Damian turned forward when he heard some leaves rustle and stood up straighter as a group of three wolves walked into the field.
He watched as two stopped at the tree line as one walked over to them.
Damian watched as the solid black wolf changed before stopping in front of them.
“Which one of you enacted the moonlight treaty?”
Brendan took a small step forward and gave a small bow, “It was I. I enacted lunam foedus.”
The man looked at him and gave him a small bow, “My name is Kołek. If you enacted lunam foedus then you must also be the one to request to speak to the Alpha.”
Brendan gave a small nod, “Yes. I would like to talk to them about some of my follows who have been accused of attacking some of your clan members.”
Kołek, hearing his reason, nodded and turned motioning toward the other two wolves and they all watched as the dark brown one walked over, changing as he stood in front of them.
“There is nothing to discuss. Your followers trespassed onto our land and attacked our pack members–”
“They have trespassed and I take full responsibility for this. I was the one to lead them here but not for any reasons other than to pass through.”
The man narrowed his eyes, “Your followers attacked our pack for no reason, and I refuse to let you leave until they are properly dealt with for their treason on the pack.”
Damian narrowed his eyes at the man’s words but stopped as the last wolf walked toward them, causing all the pack members to bow.
He watched stunned as the pure white wolf walked toward them, its stunning blue eyes not taking its gaze off of them.
He watched as it changed and placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, “Stand down Mścisław.”
Damian watched the young lady turned toward Brendan, her long platinum blonde hair flowing behind her and looked at him with her light blue eyes, “Hello Brendan. It’s a nice surprise to see you again.”
He gave a small bow, “You two Daciana.”

Description
---oOo---
(Damian’s POV)

I looked around the forest to see I was alone.
"Hello?"
I turned when I heard something behind me, stopping when I saw something move in and out of the trees.
It was white.

“Damian!"
I blinked a few times before I saw Denzel standing in front of me.
"Den?"
"You're finally awake! Come on, the Alpha says it's time to go."
I sighed and stretched before I stood up.
It was only a dream.
I looked over to see everyone walking toward the Alpha and I followed them.
He turned to us; "From this moment on we are all on high alert. This is the most dangerous part of our journey." He looked at each of us, "You each are going to be walking in groups of two. Julianna will be paired with Zephyr. Elazar will be paired with Zeke and Ravette will be with Sera." He paused, "Velorina will be with Denzel and," He turned to me, "Damian you’re going to be with me."
We all nodded, "Yes sir."
I watched as everyone walked to their partners before I walked over to the Alpha.
He looked at me, "Stay close to me."
I nodded and he turned to the others, "Are we ready?!"
"Yes sir!"
"Then let's go."

It had been an hour since we started walking when the Alpha stopped and turned to the group, "From here we'll all be splitting up. Sera, Zeke, Zephyr and I each know where to go." He turned and reached into his bag, "Velorina this is the map of the area and I've marked where we'll be meeting."
Velorina nodded and took the map from him, opening it.
Denzel glanced at it and looked at it confused, "There is nothing marked on here."
"To the untrained eye no."
He looked at the Alpha.
"I’ve been training Velorina in my office, teaching her what she needs to know to help an Alpha out anyway they need it, as well as showing her what her power is fully capable of. She will guide you youngling. She will be the leader of your group."
Denzel glanced at Velorina and sighed, "Yes sir."
The Alpha nodded, "Then let's go. I'll see you all at out meeting point tonight."
"Yes Alpha."
He turned to me, "Follow me Damian."
I nodded and followed him forward.

I looked around the area as we walked. It was quiet in these woods at night. At least the stars were out.
I turned to the Alpha to see him watching in front of him. I wonder what he's thinking about?
I sighed and looked back at the many trees. Should I say something to him? Even though I've worked with him for a few months now, I still don't know what to say to him. I don't know what to say to an Alpha.
“Something on you mind youngling?"
I looked up to see him glancing at me, "Uh..."
He slowed down until I was next to him, "You know you can ask me anything. I've told you all this before." He looked straight, "And I can tell you have at least one question."
I sighed again, "Well... How did you become an Alpha sir?"
He glanced at me, "What made you think of that question?"
"Um... You just always seem to know what to do. You know exactly what to say and when... What to look for..."
“I learned how to be an Alpha from my experiences. I learned what I needed to do to help people who followed me, and how to protect them.” He paused, “It has taken a long time to learn all I know.”

(3rd POV)

Denzel turned to Velorina, “How much farther?”
“We only just stared Den.”
“Yeah and I want to know how much farther.”
Velorina rolled her eyes, “Can we talk about something else?”
“Like what?”
She smiled, glancing at him, “Like why you won’t leave Ravette alone.”
“W-What do you mean?”
“Do you like her Den?”
“N-No! W-Why would you think that?!”
“You stuttered! You do like her! When are you going to ask her out?”
“Uh…” He looked away from her, “I… uh… What’s that?!”
“Den! Get back here!” She sighed as Denzel disappeared into the darkness, shaking her head before she chased after him.
She stopped when she caught up with him, “You know you can’t run away from this… Den?”
He narrowed his eyes as he looked at something in the distance, “What’s that?”

Julianna looked at Zephyr, “So… How did you become Damian’s Mentor?”
Zephyr looked down at her, “Why do you ask?”
“Just wondering. It’s not everyday that the third in command Mentor’s someone in the clan. Let alone a turned. So…?”
He sighed, “Brendan asked me to do it.”
“Why would the Alpha care who mentored him?”
“Brendan cares for everyone Julianna. I trust his judgments and agreed to Mentor Damian when he first came in.”
She glanced at him, “Then… Do you know who turned him?”
Zephyr glanced at her before turning forward, “I do.”
“Will you tell me who?”
He sighed but stopped when he saw something, narrowing his eyes, “Julianna, get behind me.”

Sera smiled down at Ravette, “I see you’ve been practicing your power.”
“I have. It’s so much easier to control it since I’ve trained with you miss.”
“Everything is easier to control with practice. Element powers are a little harder to control because they exist without us. We just learn to manipulate their forms, we don’t fully control them and if you believe you do then you can never fully understand its power.”
Ravette nodded, lifting her hand and watching as the shadows around her moved, “It’s harder to control at night.”
Sera smiled, “With a power like yours it will be. During the day there are many, small shadows but at night the darkness is the shadow, it’s everywhere and stronger during the night. When we’re out of these woods I’ll help you practice some more.”
“Thank you miss.”
Sera nodded, turning forward but stopped, “Ravette. Get down.”

Zeke smiled, “Okay, so I’ll ask you something then you can ask me something.”
Elazar nodded.
“Can you really change your voice anyway you want?”
“Yes, I can. The Alpha has been helping me with practicing and controlling it better. So far I can only copy sounds that I’ve heard before.”
Zeke nodded, “Cool.”
Elazar looked at him, “What happens when you turn something invisible? Do you have to guess where it is or can you see it?”
“I can see them. I can always see them. I sometimes wonder what it looks like to other people since I’ve never actually seen anything disappear before, but I know when they do… I can kind of feel when my power works on them.”
Elazar nodded, “Interesting.”
Zeke smiled, “Can you show me one of your voices?”
“Sure… Um…”
He watched as Elazar cleared his throat before he smiled.
“I can always feel when my power works, I can’t see it but I know its working.”
Zeke laughed when he heard his voice, “That’s so cool! Is that really what I sound like?”
Elazar nodded but looked over when he saw something move behind Zeke before his eyes went wide; “Watch out!”

Brendan looked down at Damian, “How have you adjusted to life as a vampire?”
Damian looked up at him, “Well… It was hard at first sir… For the first few months I barely left Zephyr’s and my room. After my first day of class it became harder since I seemed to be the target for bullies…” He smiled, “But it was nice after I met my friends. I don’t think I could’ve gotten to where I am now without them.”
Brendan nodded, “What do you remember from that time?”
“Sir?”
“What do you remember from being turned?”
Damian looked down, “Uh… Not much sir. Zephyr told me that I used to wake up screaming from nightmares but I could never remember what was in them… I think they had to do with that night. I do remember the pain though.” He looked up, “Why sir?”
Brendan looked down at him but stayed quiet as he turned forward.
“Sir–?”
Brendan stopped and turned when he heard that, to see Damian frozen. He looked around the area, keeping watch as he waited for him to come out of the vision.
He turned back, seeing Damian take a breath and blink.
Damian looked at him, “Alpha! Something’s–”
They turned when they heard some leaves rustle.
“Coming.”
Brendan narrowed his eyes, as the sound got louder before he looked around him, putting his hand to his mouth and pointed to the tree above them.
Damian watched as he jumped up into the branches. He glanced toward the area of the sounds before he followed him into the tree.
He stopped on the branch next to Brendan and they both watched the ground quietly.
Brendan narrowed his eyes as two dark shapes walked under the tree, looking around the area before stopping and running back into the forest.
Damian looked at Brendan. He opened his mouth, his eyes going wide when Brendan’s hand quickly went over his mouth.
He looked back down to see a few more figures walk under the tree and looked around.
Damian turned when Brendan slowly removed his hand from his mouth and watched as his eyes moved around the area before they stopped.
Brendan lifted his hand slowly, flicking his wrist.
Damian looked down when he heard a small noise to see the figures turn and run off the other way. He looked back at Brendan, staying quiet as he continued to watch the ground.
After a moment Brendan sighed and turned to Damian, “Never talk before you’re sure they’re gone.”
He nodded, “Sorry sir… What were they?”
“Scouts. Scouts for the territory.”
“But… they didn’t look like scouts…”
Brendan shook his head, “Not the kind you’re used to but scouts all the same. They’re the reason this is the most dangerous part of our journey.” He stopped, looking down at the ground and lowered his voice, “This entire country is the home of werewolves.”
Damian’s eyes went wide and looked down, watching as a couple more scouts walked around the area under the tree.
The first wolf sniffed the ground as the other walked around the tree, sniffing the air.
Brendan placed his hand on Damian’s shoulder moving him closer to the trunk as the second wolf looked up into the branches.
They quickly turned and Brendan looked into the distance as he heard a howl echo through the forest before the wolves growled and ran toward the sound.

---oOo---
(Brendan’s POV)

I narrowed my eyes at the howl in the distance. Werewolves don’t howl unless they’re bringing the pack together.
I stood up on the branch, Damian doing the same as he turned to me, “They’re gone sir. Should we go?”
I turned to him, “Actually Damian, we’re going to take a detour.”
He looked at me confused.
“We’re going to follow those scouts. They wouldn’t howl at this time of night unless there was a good reason.”
I saw him look in the distance for a moment before he turned and nodded, “Okay sir.”
I nodded, “Stay in sight of me, we’re going to follow them from the trees and stay quiet.”
“Yes sir.”
I turned and jumped into the next tree, going the way the wolves went until I saw them in front of me. I made sure to stay just far enough back so that they don’t notice me.

It didn’t take long before I noticed the trees start to thin out and stopped, turning to see Damian stop behind me.
He looked at me, keeping his voice low, “What do we do now?”
“We watch.”
He nodded as I turned and walked toward the edge of the forest line, looking through the leaves but staying where they couldn’t see me.

---oOo---
(3rd POV)

Brendan and Damian watched as the two wolves ran into the field, stopping by a group of people.
Brendan narrowed his eyes when they changed into their human forms and turned to the other people.
"Did you find anything?"
One of them shook their head, "No sir. We followed the scent…"
"But we lost it around a large group of trees."
“Then they were probably in those trees!" The man sighed, "But they probably left that area already." He turned, "Our leaders will be happy that we caught some of the trespassers."
Damian's eyes went wide when he saw two figures being held behind them.
One of the figures grit their teeth, not being able to see anything from the blindfold, "Let us go!"
The other nudged him in the arm, "Quiet Denzel. Don't start anything."
The man turned to Velorina, "At least one of you is smart. For a Vampire."
She looked up, "I don't know why you're holding us. I already told you we were just passing through."
"Then why did your youngling attack us?"
"BECAUSE YOU TRIED TO ATTACK US!!"
"Denzel!"
"Not what our scouts told us."
Denzel grit his teeth again about to yell when he stopped.
"We got more!"
They all turned and Velorina's eyes went wide, "Julianna!"
She looked up, "Velorina!"
The werewolf let go of Julianna and she ran over to her sister, her hands tied behind her back, "They got you too?" She turned, "Why does Denzel have a blindfold?"
Denzel huffed turning toward her voice, "Apparently I can't copy when I can't see. Not fun."
Velorina and Julianna both rolled their eyes at him before Velorina looked at her sister, “How did they get you?”
Julianna sighed as another figure was escorted towards them, “Zephyr saw them coming and he didn’t want me to get hurt so he said we would come with them peacefully if they didn’t attack. There weren’t many of them so I don’t know why we didn’t fight or run.”
Zephyr looked down at her, “Fighting wouldn’t be smart Julianna. We are in their territory and they would see that as a threat.”
She sighed as Velorina turned to Denzel, “A threat you say?”
“Yeah Velorina, I get it. But they attacked us first!”

Brendan watched as they were all led into the center of the field, where they could easily be watched.
Damian turned to him, seeing him narrow his eyes at the scene but stayed quiet and waited for him to say something.
Brendan sighed but turned when more people walked into the clearing.

Velorina’s eyes went wide when they saw the new figures, causing Julianna to turn around.
The area seemed to go quiet as she took a sharp breath, her eyes filling with tears as a guard held her back.
“Elazar!”
She struggled against the guards grip as she saw them carrying him toward them, his eyes closed, clothing torn and blood covering his skin.
Tears streamed down her face when she saw them turn toward the other side of the clearing, walking away from them.
Julianna quickly kicked her leg to her side, hitting the guard that was holding her before she broke the rope that was holding her hands and tried to punch him but turned when she felt something grab her hands. She looked up into Zephyr’s eyes before she closed hers and cried, falling to her knees.
Velorina looked at one of the guards and they seemed to understand, untying her hands and let her kneel with her sister as she cried on her shoulder.

Brendan grit his teeth after seeing what had happened.
“What happened…?”
Damian turned but saw him still facing forward.
“Zeke. What happened?”
Damian’s eyes went wide when he saw Zeke appear on the other side of Brendan, his head low.
“I couldn’t do anything… It happened too fast for me to do anything…”
Brendan closed his eyes and took a breath.
After a moment he tilted his head, eyes still closed, “Sera. Ravette. I know you’re there.”
Damian turned around to see them walk out from behind the trunk before they sat on the branches behind them.
Brendan opened his eyes and turned around, “I’m sure you already know what’s happened Sera.”
She nodded, “Yes. What do you want to do?”
Brendan looked at everyone around him and sighed, “Something unexpected. Stay behind me and don’t attack no matter what.”
Everyone nodded as he stood up, “Yes sir.”
Damian couldn’t believe it when he jumped out of the branches and started to walk into the clearing. He took a breath himself, trusting him, and jumped out of the tree too, following the rest of the group.
Everyone in the clearing stopped and turned when they saw him before some of them rushed at him.
Brendan simply looked up, his eyes cold and they all stopped as he walked passed them, toward the man that he noted to be leader.
The man turned to him, “Who are you and what are you doing here?!”
Brendan looked down at him, “My name is Brendan Adlam and you have some of my clan members.”
Everyone froze when they heard his name and the man looked at him, “A-Adlam? W-What’s an A-Adlam doing here?”
“I’m here to take back my followers. What the youngling said was the truth, we are only passing through.”
The man looked over at the group they had tied up before he turned back toward Brendan, and took a breath, “You say you’re passing through but one of your pack members attacked our scouts.”
Damian looked over to see Denzel grit his teeth but didn’t say anything in front of the Alpha.
Brendan glanced over at the group too, “I know these younglings. They would never attack unless there was a good reason.” He looked at the man, “I’m sure they had their reasons.”
The man sighed, “Possibly, however because of this accusation I cannot return them to you. Any attacks on the clan are handled by our Alpha.”
Brendan looked around the area for a moment seeing the pack starting to surround his small group before he looked back down at him, “Et lunam foedere agere. Alpha loquitur vestram rogo.”
The man looked at him, stunned, looked around the field before he turned back and bowed, “By pack law I have to accept your request. I will send for our leader right away.”
Brendan nodded as the man turned and faced the rest of the pack, “Tým balenie zákona, títo ľudia nie sú by mohli byť poškodené!” He looked at a few people near him, “Požiadal vidieť Alpha. Choď a povedz im žiadosť a požiadať ich, aby prišli naraz.” They nodded before they changed their forms and ran into the forest as the man turned back to Brendan, “I will follow the rules of the treaty; we will not attack you unless you attack us. I will also let your followers be untied, however they are not allowed to leave this field until my Alpha have decided what is to happen to them.”
Brendan nodded, “Of course. Nebudú odísť, kým je splnená zmluva.”
The man looked at Brendan, still stunned but nodded, “If you need anything Mr. Adlam come and ask me. My name is Seff. I am the lead scout of this pack.”
“Thank you Seff. I will.”
Brendan turned back toward his small group, “We’ll be staying here until the packs Alpha arrives. Until then I suggest you all get some rest.”

---oOo---
(Damian’s POV)

I watched as the Alpha turned toward Denzel and the others, walking toward them. We were staying here. Why were we staying here? Isn’t it dangerous to stay with a pack of werewolves surrounding us?
I glanced to my side when I saw Zeke and Serafina follow the Alpha. Why is no one else worried?
“Damian.”
I turned to see Ravette looking at me, “Yeah?”
“Do you think it’s smart to stay here? I mean; they attacked us earlier… Do you think they’ll do it again?”
I sighed, “I don’t know but would think the Alpha knows what he’s doing. I hope he does at least.”
Ravette nodded and looked behind me, “We should join the others.”
I nodded and we walked over together. When we got close I saw Julianna look up.
She narrowed her eyes when she saw Zeke before she tried to lunge at him, tears running down her cheeks, “What happened?! You were supposed to stay together! Why did you leave him?! You let him get hurt! This is your fault!”
Everyone took a step back as Velorina tried to hold her back, barley able to hold onto her.
Zeke took a step back, surprised by her actions but shook his head; “I didn’t do it on purpose Julianna. He–”
“No! I don’t want to hear it! It’s your fault he’s hurt! It’s your fault he’s bleeding! I don’t want to hear it!” She fell to her knees, “I should’ve never left him.”
Everyone stopped when the Alpha stepped in front of her, kneeling down to her level, “You need to calm down. This is not his fault. This is not your fault.” She looked into his eyes as he continued, “I know what you’re feeling Julianna. I have lost too many in my past. But you need to calm down; he is not lost to you. Blaming others, and yourself will not help him heal.” He took her hand and helped her stand up, “I will walk you over to him.”
She sniffed but nodded, letting him lead her over to the other side of the field.
I turned to see Serafina untie Zephyr’s hands. I watched as he rubbed his wrists before he walked over to Denzel, “I’m going to remove the blindfold. If you try to use your power here I will knock you out with a shock. Am I clear youngling?”
Denzel huffed, “Yeah. I won’t do anything.”
Zephyr nodded, keeping one hand on Denzel’s shoulder while he removed the blindfold with the other.
I walked over as Den blinked a few times before he looked around the area, stopping when he saw me, “What was with all the screaming?”
I sighed, “I’ll explain it to you later.”
Zephyr turned to his brother, “Zeke. I think you need to explain what happened.”
Zeke sighed but nodded, “Trust me. I didn’t want that to happen…”

---oOo---
(3rd POV)

Brendan and Julianna walked to one side of the field, where he saw them take Elazar, trying to keep Julianna calm.
All the wolves that were standing around the area, human or beast, moved and watched as they walked toward a small group.
Brendan glanced to his side, seeing one of them turn from them before he faced forward, seeing one of the people in the group turn toward them, surprised that they were walking toward them.
The others quickly turned as well, moving back as Brendan and Julianna walked passed.
Tears started to roll down her cheeks again when she saw Elazar lying on the ground and walked over, kneeling next to him.
Brendan turned to one of the wolves, “What happened to him?”
A young wolf stepped up, he had short light brown hair with brown-green eyes; “Our scouts said that he attacked them, they defended themselves and he lost the fight. They brought him back here because, even though he’s a trespasser, we do not let anyone injured without help.”
Brendan looked down at the boy, “I ensure you he did not start this fight. But I am grateful you are helping him. What wounds does he have?”
The boy sighed, glancing down at Elazar, “From our inspections he seems to have a good amount of blood loss from the fight. He has many large wounds on his arms, chest and back.” He looked back up at Brendan, “However none of the wounds seem to be too deep. It is just the shock of the wounds that caused his body to shut down.”
Brendan nodded, “What is your name youngling?”
“Naevius.”
“Thank you Naevius for your help.”
“Of course. I help anyone who needs healing. That is what I do to contribute to the pack.”
Brendan looked down at Elazar, “That is impressive for someone of your age.” He paused, “I have a request of you Naevius.”
He looked at him confused, “Yes?”
“Would you be the main healer for my follower? You seem to know everything you need to help him.” Brendan turned back to him, “I have no healers with me at the moment. I need your help to make sure those I protect are healthy.”
Naevius looked down at Elazar, “Um… I guess I can help him while he’s here… But I can’t really do anything without the leaders approval and he has to get approval from the Alpha.”
“I understand. Then help him until we leave.”
Naevius nodded, “I will do my best.”

A few hours have passed and Brendan has taken the time to talk with Seff, trying to pass the time.
Denzel, after hearing what happened to his brother, went to sit with him and Julianna.
Damian sat under one of the trees on the edge of the forest, watching the two of them next to Elazar. He stood up and walked over to them before he stopped next to Julianna.
“Julianna…”
She turned, seeing him before she turned back to Elazar, “What is it Damian?”
“I really need to tell you something.”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
“You need to know what happened…”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
“He saved Zeke, Julianna.”
Julianna quickly turned back to Damian, “What?”
Damian sighed, “He saved him. Zeke told me what happened. He said that they were talking when Elazar suddenly pushed him down to the ground. Zeke didn’t know what happened until he looked up and it was too late.” He looked into her eyes, “The scout jumped them from behind and if Elazar didn’t help him, Zeke would be much worse than Elazar is now. He said it could’ve been worse than the Alpha’s injuries.”
Julianna looked back down at Elazar, holding his hand as he leaned against a tree, sleeping.
“It’s not his fault Julianna.”
“I know. Denzel told me a little before.” She sighed, “But he didn’t tell me everything. Thank you Damian.”
He nodded, standing up, “I just thought you should know…”
He watched as nodded and leaned against the tree and closer her eyes, starting to fall asleep next to her boyfriend.

The wolves slowly started to wake up the next morning as the sun made its way above the trees, shining into the field.
One boy opened his eyes and looked around slowly, squinting from the sun.
He slowly turned his head and looked next to him.
He weakly moved one of his hands and placed it on the cheek of the one sleeping next to him, “J-Julianna…”
Julianna groaned in her sleep, moving her hand to touch what was on her cheek and slowly opened her hazel eyes. She looked down, seeing the hand before she looked forward to see teal eyes looking at her and a few tears rolled down her cheeks, “E-Elazar… y-you’re awake.”
He gave her a small smile, weakly wiping the tears from her cheeks, “Y-Yeah I am. P-Please don’t c-cry Juli.”
She leaned into his hand, more tears rolling down her cheeks, “I-I was so s-scared when I-I saw t-them bring you here. I-I didn’t know i-if you w-would wake up.” She closed her eyes, “I-I don’t know what I-I would do w-without you.”
She opened her eyes when she felt something press against her lips, seeing Elazar kissing her before he pulled away, “I-I’m awake now. Y-You don’t need to cry anymore.”
She took a small, shaky breath and nodded, carefully leaning her head against his as he closed his eyes again, “I-I love you Elazar.”
He smiled, taking her hand in his as he slowly started to fall asleep again, “I-I will a-always love you Juli.”

Brendan watched from the other side of the field, leaning against a trunk of tree, seeing that Elazar had woken up and smiled.
He turned when he saw the wolves quickly get up and ran to stand in a line.
He narrowed his eyes and turned knowing what was happening and walked over to his small group.
Damian groaned as he slowly started to wake up, back and neck sore from sleeping against a tree. He turned to see Brendan walking over to them and quickly stood up, seeing his serious expression.
Brendan looked at Damian, “Good. You’re awake. Help me wake up the others.”
Damian looked at him, “What’s going on sir?”
“The Alpha has arrived.”
Damian took a moment before he nodded and ran over to the others, shaking them to wake them up.
When they opened their sleepy eyes, seeing Brendan watching them, they quickly stood up.
Brendan nodded when they were all awake, “Good morning everyone.”
“Good morning Alpha.”
“I got you up because the Alpha of the pack is arriving. I need to be alert when they are here and because I was the one to request to speak to them, I will be the one to first greet them. You will all be standing behind me, showing respect for their Alpha.” He glanced at Damian, “Because you are in training to be an Alpha, Damian, you will be standing next to me, greeting them as I do.”
Damian nodded, nervous about what he has to do, “Yes sir.”
Brendan nodded, “Good. Follow me, they should be here now.”

The group watched as the wolves watched the tree line carefully.
Damian glanced to his side, seeing Brendan standing straight and couldn’t help but wonder where he learned to be so calm during these moments.
Damian turned forward when he heard some leaves rustle and stood up straighter as a group of three wolves walked into the field.
He watched as two stopped at the tree line as one walked over to them.
Damian watched as the solid black wolf changed before stopping in front of them.
“Which one of you enacted the moonlight treaty?”
Brendan took a small step forward and gave a small bow, “It was I. I enacted lunam foedus.”
The man looked at him and gave him a small bow, “My name is Kołek. If you enacted lunam foedus then you must also be the one to request to speak to the Alpha.”
Brendan gave a small nod, “Yes. I would like to talk to them about some of my follows who have been accused of attacking some of your clan members.”
Kołek, hearing his reason, nodded and turned motioning toward the other two wolves and they all watched as the dark brown one walked over, changing as he stood in front of them.
“There is nothing to discuss. Your followers trespassed onto our land and attacked our pack members–”
“They have trespassed and I take full responsibility for this. I was the one to lead them here but not for any reasons other than to pass through.”
The man narrowed his eyes, “Your followers attacked our pack for no reason, and I refuse to let you leave until they are properly dealt with for their treason on the pack.”
Damian narrowed his eyes at the man’s words but stopped as the last wolf walked toward them, causing all the pack members to bow.
He watched stunned as the pure white wolf walked toward them, its stunning blue eyes not taking its gaze off of them.
He watched as it changed and placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, “Stand down Mścisław.”
Damian watched the young lady turned toward Brendan, her long platinum blonde hair flowing behind her and looked at him with her light blue eyes, “Hello Brendan. It’s a nice surprise to see you again.”
He gave a small bow, “You two Daciana.”
