The pack of Savages was moving strategically. The trackers had detected the movement of all the wolves of the now enemy pack that had already entered their grounds. Once that was done they were within their rights to defend themselves as they chose and not even the council could do anything to justify them. And Clara knew very well the reason why they were there.They had split into four groups and were sneaking through the terrain to surround the invaders.Ethan, who was walking behind Clara, opened his mouth and bit the she-wolf's tail. The latter gritted her teeth before letting out a squeal. She looked back, sticking her tail out as he loosened his grip which was meant to get her attention, and with it she slapped his cheek. Dixon at his side, even as he was alert and hunched over on the ground let out a snort. Ethan grunted in response.-Clara scolded the two of them.The wolves behind them for some reason sensed that their alpha, despite her words seemed really relaxed with her

Will imagined both Ethan and Dixon being at the she-wolf's side, she smelled disgustingly of them. He didn't know how she'd been able to find Ethan after he'd taken it upon himself to discard the wolf straight to the hunters, but for the two of them to appear in front of her as if their bodies had recovered overnight if it was anything to be impressed by. She growled at them both. This was complicating the situation.-What? Did you realize the power of the superior blood?- Ethan almost read his mind as he noticed the alpha's discomfort.-Just locking us up to the point of killing us can degrade our bodies.Behind Will many were looking at the two twins they thought were dead. Others not so much being aware of their alpha's plans. Will took a deep breath and looked around. He could make out several red dots coming towards them surrounding them.-What is this Clara? You are going to attack me when I just want to negotiate.-Are you a sinist, Will? You enter my territory in a threatening

The atmosphere was uncertain among those present. The savages did not move, but were on the alert in case the attack was executed again. Ethan approached Clara and stood beside her, but did not touch her, although that was what he most wanted to do at that moment.-Clara's voice was deep and commanding, her orbs like two dangerous rubies that gave no room for disobedience. She still felt the metallic taste in her mouth from the blood of others- Return to the pack and don't dare touch my grounds again, or you can die here. My pack will have nothing to stop them now if I give the order.The wolves of the other's pack looked at each other. Their alpha was missing for all that. They didn't know if he had run away. They had trusted him after he had told them things his way and they had followed in his footsteps faithfully. They didn't trust the two twins, but after seeing how he reacted to the words of that she-wolf they had once discriminated against and was now an alpha... things were mo

-Claraaaaaaaa, Claraaaaaa, wait- Ethan shouted.-Damn it. Clara, stop- Dixon was doing the same, but their voices couldn't reach the she-wolf that was running rampant in front of them, much faster than her masculine paws could.The moment Clara had seen the she-wolf with whom she had left her puppy go to her she had known that something bad had happened to her. And she hadn't been wrong at all. Her puppy had disappeared. And now she was running in the direction of the pack after giving a howl alerting everyone there.She could feel her mates calling her, following her, but in her mind, the only one now was her puppy. But she still didn't understand how it had all happened. Then she heard it, it had been something far away but there was no doubt. She stopped dead in her tracks, so fast that Dixon and Ethan had to brake quickly to avoid hitting her.Both were panting louder than the she-wolf who was shaking her head from side to side looking for something.-Clara, you can't run like tha

The scream that was heard followed by the skin-tearing scream was thunderous. Both Clara and her two mates had frozen at the scene that had unfolded so fast that they had no time to react. Now she could only see how that little creature was with its small fangs burying them hard into Will's neck with the clear intention of killing him.However, Will was just shocked by the puppy's quick movement and despite the pain he pulled out his claws and was going to get it off him, not caring if he killed it in the process.It was then that Clara reacted and jumped to her puppy's aid and before Will could do anything to him she grabbed him by the back of the neck in mid-air and pulled. Blood gushed out as the piece of skin was dislodged and the alpha flinched.Clara moved away with her son and put him between her paws, she fully alert and showing her fangs. Dixon and Ethan moved as well and stood in front of them protecting them and showing their fangs. Now that they had nothing to threaten him

-Cover the puppy's eyes.That's what Clara heard before two wolves came out of the bushes and didn't seem to be in a very good mood. She instantly understood and hugged her son to her chest so he wouldn't see them. Both Dixon and Ethan said nothing more until they reached the shore and jumped down to remove all the blood that stained their fur.Clara kept sitting on the edge and let go of her puppy, though she would not let him watch until the blood that was now on the surface was thinning. Soon the water's edge broke again as both twins surfaced transformed.-Damn, I'm really going to cut this hair- Ethan protested, pulling the long strands back, -No discomfort- he spat out one that had slipped into his mouth, -Besides, now I taste terrible. Yuck- he could still taste Will's blood on his palate after tearing his body apart with his brother.Dixon at her side also ran his long hair, but in a much more elegant way back.-Hey, are you showing off in front of my wolf- Ethan growled at hi

-Clara's growl was so loud that all the wolves outside the hut where the meeting was taking place were startled. Her alpha wasn't upset, there was what came next- I won't accept that.Clara had stood up and pounded on the table. Both her claws and fangs were showing and her eyes were a strong crimson color. The wolves on her side prepared to pounce and slit necks at her command.However, the middle wolf of the three on the other side of the table did not seem to flinch.-That's something that can't be avoided. You are alpha and you know we have our responsibilities, as does Dixon for being the previous alpha. It's something you can't get away from and even more so when he was the one who took care of the alpha who was in charge of the pack.Clara dragged her fingernails across the table leaving deep grooves. She was not in the mood at all at that moment. She was being told to her very face that her mate should go back to the pack that had betrayed him alone...because he had been the f

The evening breeze ruffled Clara's hair. In front of her, the sun was hiding in the distance, dulling the meadow. It was an image she had seen so many, many times that it had lost the beauty of the first few times, but at the same time it was so everyday.Going back to how she had lived in her pack for the past few years, doing the usual, focused on her son now felt strange to her, stranger than she imagined. It didn't feel the same. And she didn't like that.She loved spending time with her pup, training with the other wolves, roaming her grounds freely, but the emptiness that had settled inside her as the days passed and grew was very painful.She missed Dixon and Ethan more than she ever imagined. She needed them by her side and every part of her was clamoring for that.The agreed time frame had been one month, but it seemed so little and yet so long. She wanted time to run and as she had dreamed over and over again, that she would see them running in her direction. The bond the th
