As the night settled in, our pack gathered around the campfire, basking in its warm glow. Laughter and camaraderie filled the air as we shared stories and relished the company of our newfound family. Margot's presence among us had become more natural, and she seemed to be slowly finding her place. Suddenly, the jovial atmosphere was shattered by a haunting sound that pierced the night. Margot's face contorted in pain as she let out a gut-wrenching howl. We all turned towards her, concern etched on our faces. "Margot, what's wrong?" I asked, rushing to her side. She clutched her chest, gasping for breath between the anguished cries. "It hurts," she managed to choke out, her eyes filled with tears. Kimora, ever the healer, quickly assessed the situation. "Lie down, Margot," she instructed gently. "Let me take a look." Margot complied, and Kimora carefully examined her, checking for any visible injuries. "I don't see any external wounds," Kimora said, furrowing her brows in concern.

A few days later, I found myself growing increasingly fatigued and unwell. A lingering sickness took hold of me, weakening my body and clouding my mind. My packmates expressed concern, their eyes filled with worry as they saw my condition worsen.One night, as I lay feverish and restless in my makeshift bed, the moon shone brightly through the trees, casting a silvery glow upon the wilderness. In my delirium, the moonlight seemed to dance and swirl, taking on a mesmerizing form.I had refused to stay inside my hot, as the was making me even more delirious with pain.Suddenly, the moon appeared to grow larger and closer, until it enveloped me in its radiant embrace. I felt as if I were floating amidst the stars, weightless and untethered.Then, a soft and ethereal voice resonated within my mind, like a gentle breeze whispering ancient secrets. "Child of the wilderness," the voice spoke, "I am the Moon Goddess, guardian of the night and protector of all that roams beneath my light."Sta

There was something to be said for being in alliance with so many packs, and a lot of that was stress. Many of them did not have an army that was used to victory on the battlefield, which was where we then came in. We had been victorious with every single fight that we had ever bothered with, so we supplied additional manpower to the packs we were allies with. “Lee, David, Josh, Alan and Carter, the Blue Fang pack needs your help. They wanted three of our members to help them with the war, as back up, but I need you guys back, and fast. So you will go there, stay in the front lines, defend their pack and cut short the amount of hours that you would have to be gone.” The rest of the outcasts, already used to my style of giving commands, looked away, diverging from the meeting point I had chosen to make the announcement. I had noted that almost everyone who was in the pack had started to develop a toned form, and I was secretly more than pleased with myself. Eric ran over to me and g

Before we even saw the battlegrounds, we could smell the blood that had been spilled, coppery and pungent. The scent took me back, and I thought of Luke, and how his blood had been spilled for nothing. I could taste the copper on my tongue, and with a nod, Margot fell back to begin healing, while the rest of us ran forward. Before we launched into the middle of the battle, I paused and looked at the women warriors I had chosen to bring with me. “Eleanor, Jax, Kimora. Ready?” “Ready!” they yelled, the sound of their voices standing out even over the war cries. “Good.” Taking the lead, I ran headfirst into the battle, my sword slashing heads as I went. The chaos of the battleground enveloped us as we charged forward. The enemy forces clashed with ours, and the clash of metal against metal reverberated in the air. With each swing of my sword, I felt the weight of my anger driving me onward. I couldn't let all this chaos and death be in vain.Eleanor, Jax, Kimora, and I moved as a coh

Weeks went by with no more mentions of war, and our pack had become a hot commodity for all of our allies, and visits were coming from far and wide.It was a fun time, all of us riddled with the task of hosting our allies, and we enjoyed the experience, all of them becoming present members of the packs.
