Sarah sat around the bonfire with her pack, deep in discussion about how they were going to overcome the rival pack who had been encroaching on their territory and taking away some of their resources. Alex, a strong and experienced member of the pack, was the first to speak up.
"I think we need to hit them where it hurts,"he said, his eyes glowing in the firelight. "We know where they're getting their water from. If we can cut off their supply, they'll be weaker and more vulnerable."The woman who had taken Sarah in nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea, Alex. But we need to be careful. We don't want to start a war that we can't win."Sarah listened intently, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She had noticed one of their members, a man she didn't know very well, acting suspiciously. He kept glancing around nervously as if he was afraid of being caught.Suddenly, the man caught Sarah's gaze and immediately got up and ran away."Hey, wait!"Sarah called out, jumping to her feet. "Something's not right here."The rest of the pack looked at her quizzically, but Sarah explained what she had seen."He was acting strange. I think we've got a traitor among us,"she said, her voice filled with suspicion.The pack members quickly sprang into action, searching the area for any signs of the traitor. After a few tense moments, they found him hiding in the bushes, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation."You!"Alex growled, grabbing the traitor by the collar. "What are you doing here? Are you working with the rival pack?"The traitor tried to deny it, but the pack knew better. They had caught him red-handed, and he knew there was no escaping their wrath.As they tied him up and prepared to interrogate him, Sarah couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She had been right all along. And now, with the traitor exposed, they could finally take down the rival pack and reclaim their resources once and for all.The traitor struggled against his bonds, but the pack held him firmly in place. Alex leaned in close to him, his voice low and menacing."Who are you working for?"he demanded. "Tell us now, and maybe we'll go easy on you."The traitor hesitated for a moment, then spat out a name. It was one Sarah recognized - a member of the rival pack who had been seen in the area recently."I knew it,"she said, her fists clenched in anger. "They're getting bolder by the day."The pack members nodded in agreement, their faces set in determination. They knew that they couldn't let the rival pack continue to take what was rightfully theirs."We need to strike back,"the woman who had taken Sarah in said, her voice firm. "But we need to be smart about it. We don't want to put ourselves in unnecessary danger."The pack discussed their options, weighing the risks and benefits of each potential plan of attack. Sarah contributed her ideas, knowing the terrain of their territory better than anyone.Finally, they settled on a plan - a coordinated attack on the rival pack's main camp, designed to take them by surprise and weaken their hold on the area.Sarah felt a thrill of excitement and apprehension as they made their final preparations. She knew that this was a risky move, but she also knew that it was necessary if they wanted to protect their resources and their way of life.As the pack set out under cover of darkness, Sarah kept her senses sharp, watching for any sign of danger. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, and she knew that they couldn't let their guard down for a moment.But despite her misgivings, the attack went off without a hitch. The rival pack was caught off guard, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the combined strength and skill of Sarah's pack.The pack sat around the dying embers of the bonfire, their faces smudged with dirt and sweat, but their eyes shining with pride and satisfaction. They had successfully defended their territory and sent a clear message to their rivals.Sarah leaned back against a log, feeling a sense of exhaustion wash over her. She closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the feeling of safety and security that came with knowing that her pack was strong and capable.But her respite was short-lived. The woman who had taken her in leaned forward, her eyes focused and intense."Sarah, we need to talk,"she said, her voice serious.Sarah sat up, instantly alert. She knew that tone of voice - it was the same one that the woman had used when she first took Sarah under her wing when she had warned her of the dangers of the wild and taught her how to survive."What is it?"Sarah asked, her heart starting to race.The woman took a deep breath. "I've been noticing some strange things lately. Things that don't add up. I think there might be more going on than we realize."Sarah frowned, unsure of what the woman was trying to say. "What kind of things?"The woman hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice. "I think there might be more packs in the area. Packs that we don't know about. And I think they might be working together."Sarah's eyes widened in shock. She had always known that there were other packs out there, but she had never considered the possibility that they might be collaborating."What do we do?"she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.The woman looked at her with a steely resolve. "We keep our eyes and ears open. We gather as much information as we can. And we stay one step ahead of them."Sarah nodded, her mind racing with the implications of what the woman had said. She knew that this was just the beginning of a new and dangerous chapter in their struggle for survival.But she also knew that she was ready for whatever lay ahead. She had her pack by her side, and together, they would face whatever challenges came their way.But for now, she was content to sit around the bonfire with her pack, basking in the warmth of their hard-earned victory.The pack sat around the dying embers of the bonfire, their faces smudged with dirt and sweat, but their eyes shining with pride and satisfaction.

She slowly opened her eyes and she sat up, wiping her blurry and sleepy eyes with the back of her palms. Her eyes fell outside the window, at the bright, shiny sun that lit up the world. “It's such a beautiful day today.” She gasped softly.Before she could think of anything else, the door crept opened and the woman who had taken her in walked in. She goes by the name Sophie. She sat beside her on the bed, one of her hand on her knees, caressing it softly.“Good morning, Sophie.” Sarah said with a lit smile that played on her lips.“I hope you slept well?”“Sure, and you?”“I haven't felt this great in a long time. It's such a relief that you decided to join us.” Sophie smiled, which Sarah also returned. “I'll go make your breakfast. You should be down in ten minutes.” Sophie said on her way out of the room. “Okay, I'll be out soon.” Sarah called out.A smile played on Sarah's lips as she watched Sophie retreat fr
Alex's POV.I anxiously approached Sarah's house, clutching a map in my hand; encouraged by Sarah's threat yesterday, I made some research overnight. The sun was setting, casting an amber glow over the surrounding woods. I rang the doorbell, and Sarah opened the door with a warm smile, which surprised me as I was expecting to see the opposite. “Hey, Alex! I've been waiting for you,” Sarah greeted, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Ready for our adventure?” A grin played on her lips. I nodded, my heart pounding with anticipation. “Absolutely. I've marked the areas on the map where other werewolf sightings have been reported. We need to find out if there are other packs like us out there.” I tried to keep my voice firm. Sarah, still at the door, took the map from me. She studied the map intently, tracing her finger along the highlighted regions. “This is fascinating. It's like we're on a mission to uncover our own kind.” She said with a lively voice that didn't last the next sec
Sarah's POV.Alex squeezed out the juice from the wolfsbane and forces the man to take it.“You're going to regret this.” He shouted at Alex for making him take the portion.“I would be more than happy to get that.” Alex grinned.He stapled the werewolf on his back and we headed home. After some minutes of walking, we were in the middle of the pack and at Sophie's house. Alex dropped the man on the ground as he grunted and cracked his limbs from the man's heavy weight. Before I could say anything, the man interrupted me. “Antidote! The antidote.” He winced. “I'll only give you the antidote when you tell me what I need to know.” I snapped and walked into the house, followed by Alex. We met Mrs. Sophie taking a nap on the couch, I leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek and she opened her eyes. “You're back?” She grunted as she sat up. “Yeah, and we got a member of another pack, he seems to be working with Marcus.” I said, and her face got lit with excitement. “Where is
Sarah's POV.He passed out before he could complete his sentence.“What's wrong with him? He's not dead, is he?” I asked as I walked away from him and hid the gun.Mrs. Sophie rushed to him, shake him so hard but he stood still, and she glared at me. “Happy now?”“Is he really dead?” Alex asked with his voice clouded with curiosity. “I don't think so.” I responded and walked to him. Punched him hard across the face, and he jolted back to life, “See?” I smiled. “We should treat him now, or he's really going to die.” Mrs. Sophia suggested, and I had no choice at this point but to accept it. “Fine! Go ahead.” I raised my hands in surrender and moved away from the man. Mrs. Sophie grabbed a lighter, lit it and put it on his wound. The man growled aloud, shaking the pillars of the basement. “Does she necessarily have to do that?” I whispered to Alex, but she heard me. “You have any other way to cure this?” She tilted her head. Soon, she was done, and the man was already looking be
Marcus's POV.Soon, it was evening and the clock struck 7pm. I walked out of my room and walked down to the office, which also served as our conference room. When I got there, I was almost surprised to see everyone present already, but this is Sandro we are talking about. Nobody would want a hurt to come close to him.He had sworn his allegiance to the Pack and had been faithful all this while.I sat in the armchair and my eyes darted frantically from one person to the other before I decided to break the silence after some seconds.“I believe we've all heard about the news; that Sandro is missing.....” A member butted in.“Is this Alex's doing? Why would he have Sandro kidnapped?”“I know, but can you please let me talk? Please?”“Sorry.” She mumbled under her nose.I rolled my eyes briefly and continued 2hat I was saying, “We have to save Sandro before they do something bad to him.” I added and took a break.“They? Who are they? I thought Alex was our only enemy?”“Well, another enem
Alex's POV.It was late at night, I had been trying to sleep, but it wasn't coming forth. I crawled out of the bedsheets, wore my slip on, and dragged my heavy feet to the table by the window.Sitting on the chair and looking out the window, I recalled how this place used to be a secret place for Beth and I to meet. We had the best of memories in here, which is a more reason why I had decided not to leave this house.Suddenly, my mind went to Sarah.“I hope she's doing fine. She's really a tough one and won't even admit it when she's weak.” I mumbled under my breath.“I wished I had killed Marcus when I had the chance to, I shouldn't have banished him from the Pack; I should have robbed him the right to live.” I cussed in my thoughts as my hand clenched in a fist.“If I had killed him, none of this would be happening. He won't have killed Beth or tried to take over the Pack like he's trying to do now.”Memories of when he kidnapped Beth flooded my head. It was on a sunny day, the day
Alex's POV.I turned back immediately but the figure was no longer there, I popped my head out of the window, but there was nobody there anymore.I decided to go to the kitchen to get a bottle of chill water, and as I walked down the stairs, plenty of thoughts ran through my mind. “Was I hallucinating?”“But she stood there for a while, staring at me. I possibly can't have hallucinated that. It was real.”“Is Beth alive? Of course not, why am I even thinking about such? It's been four years now since she died.”“I think it's time to return to Wendy, I'll go see her first thing tomorrow morning.”I grabbed a bottle of water, chugged the content and went back to my room. The thought of Beth had cost me my sleep, there was no longer an iota of sleep in my eyes. I laid on the bed with part of my brain blank and a part of it thinking about all the beautiful memories I had with Beth. I stretched my hand and grabbed my phone to check the time. It was 5:30am, there was no point of sleeping b
Alex's POVI left Wendy's place; my heart in turbulence about how I could get Sarah to love me and allow me make love to her.“Could that ever be possible?” I thought as I drove on the expressway that leads to my pack.After some minutes of driving, I pulled to a halt in front of Sarah's place. I stepped out of the car and walked into the house. I met Mrs. Sophie in the kitchen, the aroma of her soup filled the air. “Good morning, Mrs. Sophie.” I greeted as she emerged from the kitchen. “How are you doing? You came quite early today.” She said with a smile. I was about to give her a reply when the creaking sound of a door got our attention and Sarah emerged from the room. She stood at the door, stretched her limbs as she made a loud growl and our eyes were fixed on her. “What is wrong?” She shrugged her shoulders as she made her way to the kitchen. “You look beautiful.” I said subconsciously and she glared at me. Taking her slow and dangerous steps closer to me accompanied by th
