Jake mind linked his packing and said. “Any able bodies get to the school.” Before anyone could respond there was another explosion. “Damn it.” Jake said aloud. Daryl take Donnie and Sam and do an explosive sweep start here and work clockwise check every building. Mike and I will go counter clockwise and meet at the library.” Luckily Shaba hadn’t blown up a building that was currently housing any of the pack members or any of real importance, like the hospital.       “Shit, the hospital.” Jake thought. He mind-linked Holley. “Hey Doc grab a few wolves and do a sweep of the building. Look for explosives.” “Already done, had them do it after the first one went off. How are things going out there?” Doc Holley replied. “Not good but not horrible either. Luckily nobody was in the buildings that have been blown up. What about there, any wounded or causalitie

Doc started ordering the wolves around, “Take him to the ambulance and straight to Frank.” She said. “Put her in the tent on a table. Viki, need you further assess that one may have a cracked rib. Shit this boy is barely breathing.” She said looking around before spotting someone who seemed to be in shock just standing there gaping. “You grab me that bag on your right. The female handed it to her and she pulled out an oxygen mask with a bubble attached. Doc put the mask on the young boy’s face and began to squeeze the bubble. She looked at the female still standing there wide eyed and mouth open. “You come here.” Doc yelled at her. The female walked over Doc grabbed her hands and placed them on the bubble and squeezed them. “Keep doing that.” Doc said assessing the little boy further. She looked down with sad eyes and knew that there was no hope for the boy. The only thing they could do was try to keep him comfortable. She looked around found another able body standing around. “

         Just before the Moon Goddess disappeared She saw the porch lights come on as Nezerra, Mack, and Ashur came running out. “Felan, are you ok? What are you doing out here?” Nezerra said as he approached her. “I was speaking with the Moon Goddess. After what happened last night, I was feeling sad and angry and my heart was hurting. The Moon Goddess helped me understand why some things happen and looked what I did.” She said as the three of them followed her gaze to the freshly bloomed flowers and the tree.          “Those are beautiful.” Mack said hugging Felan. “You want a piggy back ride back into the cabin? You can help me make breakfast before we leave.” He said. “Yes please.” Felan told him as she climbed on Mack’s back. Ashur followed them into the house saying he would help too. Nezerra stood there looking at the flowers, when Jake came from around

     “Alpha, what if we feel we cannot stay? I love this pack but I am expecting pups soon, I would feel better if I knew my mate was safe, with war brewing, who knows how long this peaceful moment will last.” The man said. “I have spoken with Jake and any pack member who feels this isn’t their fight or do not wish to stay for whatever reason can seek refuge at his pack for the time being. The arrangement is not a permanent one but he could use some help in rebuilding. You can also set out on your own to try and find another pack.” Ashur tells them.     “I have never demanded any wolf to stay or ask for permission to leave only that they give me the curtesy of letting me know they are going so I don’t have the pack searching. I will address the pack in the morning with these options. Tonight, however is more about the new wolves and allowing them one night of normalcy.”  Nezerra tells them as

     “Why didn’t your wolf kill him?” “Because he pissed his pants at the site of her but she did make sure he could never do that to another woman unwilling or not.” She said. “What happened to him?” Mack asked. “He is sitting in some crazy house for criminals. When the cops showed up he starting spouting about me being a wolf. One of the cops looked at him and said. ‘Sure, and I am the Easter Bunny.’ He confessed to the whole thing. I told them I had come home late from a party and found them that way. They searched for about a month for a wolf. I gave them one. I found a regular wolf, it had rabies and was dying anyways.”             “The game warden put it down, and said something must have scared it off that night. My dad died that night, bled out in the house. My mom died in the hospital from internal injuries. She hemorrhaged to death. They thought they had found them all but the docs missed one. A
