They had stayed for a few more hours helping Ryan and Marigold to clean up. As a pack community, they helped each other whenever needed. Everyone focused on their tasks to get the job done quicker. After boarding up the window and cleaning up the living room, Ryan called it a night and sent the people home.

Alpha Gray had told her Ryan was the one who called him about the attack as soon as he had come too from the wolfsbane poison.
Nueva wanted to ask Marigold what was up between her and Ryan. But then, she had been too worried to cause them more trouble. Nueva just had this feeling she needed to keep her eyes on the couple.
It was clear now that the attack happening elsewhere on the pack territory had been a distraction to remove Alpha Gray and Declan from the house.

There were mud prints from boots and paws across the timber floors leading towards the staircase.The house was quiet and smelt musky and foreign. The feeling that their home that represented a safe place, protecting her and her loved ones from external threats and dangers being invaded by strangers, created a weight in Nueva's chest that nowhere was safe.Nueva stopped and focused. She inhaled deeply and let her senses tell the story and fill in the missing pieces. Her nostrils flooded with the scents from Mira, Marigold, and the Rogue Alpha, their invisible chemical compounds and pheromones painted images in her mind.Marigold's scent surprised her since Nueva knew she hadn't been to the farmhouse while living there.There were other vaguely familiar scents of people she would have met in the passing by.

Nueva could finally relax enough to start planning on how to rescue Mira and her mum. She and Alpha Gray had gone to Perla's house for advice. If anyone could help them, it was this wise sage woman. Perla's cottage smelled of freshly brewed coffee and homemade apple and cinnamon pie. Nueva looked at Alpha Gray's face as they walked through the small house towards the kitchen. She could see how his features relaxed and turned into a boyish grin as the fragrances of his childhood enveloped him. Perla waited at the kitchen table, sipping on her coffee as they entered the warm and cosy room. "Come, sit down." Perla smiled and waved them over. She started to cut large pieces of the steaming hot apple pie and placed them on the plates in front of them. She added a big blob of fluffy ivory-white whipped cream on top. The scent

Several ageless giants lay defeated on the ground, cut down by the Rogue army's hands. Above the humble trees, wind-sung tunes had changed to squalls of weeping sorrow over their fallen fellows.The feral animal created a fence with their furred bodies around the squared arena, making it impossible to escape. Nueva stood alone on the ground. Her heart raced, and her ears rang from the deafening roars from the surrounding masses. She wondered if this was how it would have felt to be a gladiator standing in the colosseum in ancient Rome.The wind was crisp but smelt foul; Nueva shivered from both. She was wearing a thin white long-sleeved jumper and loose boyfriend jeans. The forest floor pine-needle-covered carpet crunched under her yellow timberland boots as she paced on the spot.Nueva's white hair hung heavy on her back, braided in a similar but less complex style to what the Fay woman had done.

And there it was again, that familiar scent disguised just enough for her not to figure out who or where it came from.
