“We should be there by the end of the day.” Mack tells Ashur. “You haven’t seen Shaba or any of her rogues?” He asked. “No Philly has been doing a great job of keeping them off our trail. By the time she is aware of where we are, we will be pulling into the gates.” Mack said. “I’ll let Nezerra know. Felan is happy you will be returning here. She knows soon she can see her mother.” “Ashur, Aaliyah is not with us. She stayed back at her father’s pack.” “We know, Mack, but Felan is certain this Shaba business will end soon.” “I hope she is right. Where is she and Keyne at anyways?” “Out for a run, since they both have their wolves it is hard to keep them inside. I also think Keyne has realized the Felan is his mate.” “Why is that?” “He is started to show some talents very similar to Felan’s.” “What kind of Talents?” Mack asked. “You remember the old barn we use to get drunk in, right after we first met?” “Yeah, down by beach. Didn’t it collapse after that one real bad storm?”

Matilda woke up to the sound of scurrying. She sat straight up and asked Josie, “What’s wrong?” “Nothing, I am just late for my watch.” She says. “What time is it?” “Almost 3 in the morning.” “Mine starts in an hour. I might as well get up and make some coffee. What point you at?” “West, by the river.” Josie tells her. “I’ll being you a cup.” “That would be great. See you in a few.” Josie says heading out the door. Each trained warrior was taking a four-hour shift. With John’s pack and Adelaide’s there was enough so only each warrior had to pull one 4-hour shift in a day. They also are alternating times for each point. Every 2 hours shift change was happening. This was agreed upon to try and deceive any enemies lurking about. Matilda went to the bathroom and ran cold water over her face. She came out just as Josie was leaving she started the coffee pot and She thought about Mack and wished this would end soon. They all knew a battle was coming and were all feeling th

SHABA……            The flight took 2 hours, but it felt like it had taken longer. Soon as Shaba was off the plane she was on the phone. “That is great. We will be there within the hour… No, I want to see them as soon as we get there… Perfect I will see you in a bit.” She hangs up and looks at Josiah. “What was that about?” He asked.            “I have a surprise for you.” She says. “I need to make one more phone call and then we will be headed out, but while I am on this call, I need you to call Toby and ask him to text you a list of all the different places he met his sister. See if we can’t narrow down that search grid.” She tells him.            Shaba called her company and went over a few things

FELAN…            Shaba shifted her stance and spit in Felan’s face, before turning to walk out. She stopped at the door and told the guards to feed them only scraps. She looked at Josiah and asked “You coming?” “If it is alright with you I think I would like to try to talk to my child see if I can get any information out her or Keyne about Nezerra and his allies.” “I will give you 30 minutes. If you are not out by then I will send Grande in to get you.” Josiah closed his eyes and nodded. He wanted no dealings with Grande after the last time. “Watch him.” She mind-linked the guard.Felan didn’t know what her father was up to, but she would never trust him. He sold her and put her mom and goddess only knew who else through unspeakable things. She may however need his help. If she couldn’t get in touch with Nezerra or anybody t

“I have seen what they become. They will end our kind.” Shaba said. “They are not the end, but a beginning.” Rhiannon argues. “My last gift to the werewolf kind. 2 gods instead of one. Both with the power to create and control. Both with the power to destroy.” “That is no gift that is a curse. Can’t you see you meddled too much and only evil will be left?” Shaba asked.“Shaba, I once gave you a gift, the ability to see one’s wolf before they knew if they had a wolf. I would like to give you another gift.” “I want nothing from you.” Shaba says and lunges forward only to fall flat on her face.Rhiannon spoke softly. “Your wolf will not work here. None of them can attack me.” Rhiannon said. “My wolf may not be able to, but I most certainly can.” Shaba says getting up and lunging at the goddess again. Each time the 2 made contact Shaba would get images of the future.
