They could hear and see it.
The two groups led by Ethan and Aliana could see the dark wisp, soaring high in the air from a certain spot in the deepest part of the mountain, following which they could hear Cane’s scream. They hastened their pace, panic shooting through their blood. It was not good news if their alpha was screaming like that.
However, before they could reach Cane, they encountered a problem.
Around fifteen beasts and five warriors from the Blue Moon pack stopped them, barricading their path.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Ethan growled at one of the Blue Moon pack warriors. If he was not mistaken, his name should be Danny. "Move away!"
Danny glared at Ethan. "How can you be here!?"
The other Blue Moon pack warriors and the royal warriors had surrounded the Howling Wolf pack, so no one should be able to go out.
They were here to prevent any news about what was happening in the mountains from leaking out and killing anyone who tried to reach the pack. So far, they found two people and killed them both, as per what they had been instructed.
This group of warriors was also the warriors that Alpha Dristan’s personal warrior had mistaken as part of the Howling Wolf pack, as he was an outsider and couldn’t differentiate to which pack the warriors actually belonged.
But aside from that, they also received another order to not step out of their spots right now. On no certain terms, should they leave their place. No matter what happened and what they heard. And so, they didn’t go check when they heard a great battle starting in the distance before the thick smell of blood filled the air.
They were here to prevent someone from coming closer and now, he saw a bunch of young warriors and the Gamma.
"Scram!" Ethan barked at them.
Meanwhile Joel, in his beast’s form, was ready to charge forward, despite knowing those beasts in front of him were battle hardened warriors, who survived the war against the Howling Wolf pack a year ago. His young blood boiled, as he wanted to reach his alpha and luna as soon as possible.
"Or what?" Danny tilted his head. It was very obvious he was trying to delay Ethan and provoke him, while his men searched for other warriors who might have come with this gamma. They learned a trick or two about their strategies after one year under their oppression. "Do you want to fight us? With your puppies? Don’t you feel ashamed for bringing these children here?" He taunted.
"No! Step back!" Ethan growled when one of the young beasts was about to attack, if one went ahead, the rest would follow, as he could feel their impatience. They were still so young and immature, and were also easily provoked.
Thankfully, they still listened to him and aside from growling viciously, they didn’t make any move.
Damn it!
"Did you bring them here for sightseeing?" Danny tilted his head and smirked. "Don’t you want to know why we can shift into our beast, despite consuming Rottingbane? Don’t you want to know about that?"
Ethan was silent, he didn’t say anything, as he threw a dagger look at Danny.
