Chapter 41

Val had placed spies all throughout the town, staying away from both the werewolf and werebear

territories. This little town was still considered under their protection but it isn’t guarded as much, from

what Val saw it wasn’t guarded as well as it could be, mostly though he still had to be carefull.

He found an older large house, on the outskirts of town. It was perfect as a base for him. It was hidden

by a long drive, trees and overgrown bushes.

There were lots of rooms and the basement had only one way in or out. He found several strange

things in the house that made him wonder about the previous owners.

Some rooms had locks on the outside of the doors, the basement even had shackles and chains still

hooked up and ready. Goes to show you never know what goes on behind closed doors. This house

had to be one of that Alpha Micheal’s hide aways.

Who would of thought that the one weakness that both those packs had was this little sweet town, filled

to the rim with humans. Val had two more ace’s up his sleeve, he wasn’t entirely sure about them but

he knew he could buy them for a

fair price:

Now all he had to do is wait. One thing Val knew he was good at was waiting. The art of the ambush

was in his blood after all.

Duncan and Marco waited on the deck of the pack house, as two cars drove up escorted by Tack on

his motorcycle. Duncan always laughed when he remembered how Jack hated riding in a car, he

looked so uncomfortable.

Duncan watched as they all got out of the car‘s and walked up to them. Only one of them stood out to

Duncan, he was a big guy, long sandy blond hair, muscles everywhere and gold eyes. Duncan knew

the second he caught his scent.

He was a WereLion. Rarest of all Were’s and the most deadly. You didn’t not want to piss a werelion

off, it would be a painfully long death. Werelions have been known to eat their kills.

All of their guests gave small bows in respect to the Alpha Duncan, Duncan in turn gave them the same

respect.

Marco spoke, “Good afternoon and welcome to Storm Raven Moon pack Gentlemen, if you will

follow me, I will take us to the office of the Alpha where we will have some refreshments and talk

Duncan left them to go up to his office first, making sure everything was in order. He sat down just as

Marco and guests came in.

After everyone was seated the meeting began. Duncan began…”As you all know we do have a

problem, with werecats, though they were only detected once on both Stone Mountain and

StormRaven borders, I do not think that it is the end of it.”

“A few of my elders believe that it was just a scouting mission to test our security. That once they found

it unyielding they gave up.”

“Personally, I think this kind of thinking is dangerous and naive. I have seen too much of this kind of

stuff turning into a full blown attacks, to not be wary of letting it go.”

“When Jack told me that he was calling a friend, I had hoped that not only will they help you Jack but

perhaps you would also consider helping my pack as well.”

I know that the history between our spiecies isn’t exactly on a friendly basis. I do know that this pack

has never had a problem with Werecat

prides.

The three newcomers looked at each other, the largest of the three nodded.

“My name is Archer Bennet these two behind me are my twin brothers, August and Ashton Bennet. As

you by now know, we are Were Lion’s. Our numbers are smaller in comparison to other Were species.”

“We keep our true numbers secret for our own reasons, which will be discussed at a later time We wish

to be taken to your borders, especially where you detected the pressence of the the werecat’s.”

“Even if the trail has gone cold, we can still detect a few things about them. Things that your species

might not pick up. This will tell us if they are loners or in a pride, what type of werecat they are.”

“This will also help us with what we might be dealing with as well as coming up with a strategy. There

are rumors in the cat prides that there are some loners making their own pride.”

They are not behaving like normal cats either, they are into all kinds of nefarious activities, they are

hunted just like your species hunts the rogue, because of the things that they do, one of

dangerous.

Archer was also impressed by the relationship between The Alpha and his beta, you could tell that they

are really close, if it came to a fight where both of the fought together he would hate to be their

enemies.

They were at the site and Archer and his brothers started to check the area, it didn’t take long before

he picked up a scent, it was faint but it was still there. He let out a low rumble of a growl.

“Were Tigers.”

Marnie and Adira decided that they were going to go shopping, they took two suv’s. The first was

security, the second had more security with Marnie and Adira.

They also had two more security males riding motorcycles. They decided that should something

happen on the road the motorcycles had more room and ability to manuver into key positions.

They were excited to get out for a little bit, though having all this security was causing some anxiety.

Though most of the guards they

knew, there were two they did not know. The two were of the group the King had sent.

They insisted that they ride with Marnie and Adira. Marnie wasn’t sure about them yet, Adira agreed.

They both decided to be wary of them but not let it ruin their trip.

Their first stop was for pizza, Adira had a craving for pizza with extra mushrooms and bacon. After

spending an hour with the two new guards, they decided that they were ok guys. Adra still wasn’t sure

though.

So she stayed close to the other guards instead. There were three stores in the town, one was a small

mom and pop shop that sold a little of everything, another clothing and accessories. The third was for

children and baby clothes.

There was a grocery store as well as a gas station. It wasn’t a really big town but because it was

isolated it had a well rounded supply of stores. They even had an antique store/ electronic repair shop.

They also had a small diner and a bakery. Both were really good.

Their first stop was the baby shop, they were excited when they saw all the homemade clothing,

blankets and other baby accessories.

Adira picked up several hand made items as well as a beautiful hand carved high chair.

Their second stop was the clothing store, to which they picked up a couple of outfits for Adira as well as

some loose comfy stuff to wear after the pup comes.

They decided to go to the antique shop last, it was a small place so only two guards came in with them

while the others waited outside. They browsed for a little while,when Adira noticed that the clerk was no

longer with them in the shop.

When she looked out the big shop window, she noticed all their guards were laying on the ground.

There was a fog surrounding them.

Right at that moment Marnie started to growl, there were three males in the shop now besides their two

guards. Without them realizing it they were herded to the back of the shop. Marnie and Adira managed

together to Mind link Duncan and Marco with three words….ambush, antiques, HELP!….

Just as Adira turned around to look at Marnie, she felt a sting like a bee at the back of her n*eck, as she

was starting to fall she could see Marnie being caught in the arms of one of the guards.

Marnie being caught in the arms of one of the guards.

Everything went sideways then to black as she knew no more….
