“Wow, this is a lot. There’re a few too many encounters here to be called incidents Ebony. These aren’t one or two individuals with problems. This is a group with an agenda. We must get serious to now. Someone’s disappeared and that’s concerned me. That means it’s gone too far now.” Benedict said from the chair he sat in as they looked over the report they’d received. “That’s why I called you here and asked for a full command structure meeting. This affects all levels. Everyone must be careful. Keep your eyes open. I don’t believe for a second, it’s anyone here. Someone doesn’t want us setting up shop here or doesn’t want us setting up shop at all. Well, it’s too late. We’re here and we’re not leaving. Now, I’ve spoken to the mayor’s wife. It seems we’ve stepped on a few toes in the human circles. Which means there’s a few egos that possess several cracks. We don’t want those cracks to get worse and if we can heal them all the better.” Ebony sa
“Good afternoon, Marian. How have you been? Any word on what is going on, on your end?” Ebony answered her cell phone. She found Marian Fort on the phone. This was the call she’d been waiting for all-day.“Oh dear, yes Luna Ebony. I’ve learned plenty of information. Have you learned about any information about the shifters connected to those names I sent you?” Marian said to me in response to my questions. She added her own questions to the conversation.“Beyond the fact that I’ve found no one by these names and no one within my Pack with these names. I’ve asked members of my Pack, and no one has come forward saying that recognized the names of the shifters we’re looking for. I’m sorry.” Ebony continued with what she’d not found, and they’d searched through criminal databases, but they couldn’t find these wolves and she was sure if these wolves were acting like this not it wouldn’t be the first time they did something like this. “Don’t be sorry Luna Ebony. I didn’t expect you
Ebony and Benedict took the first hunting parting and search team into town. They were greeted at the entrance to the main square by several of the more prominent townspeople which included Marian Fort the Mayor Fort’s wife. Though, Mayor Fort’s presence was noticeably missing along with that of his brother. Though the OPP presence was represented. “I’m glad you decided to help Luna. We were afraid after the treatment you received that you would withhold your help. To be honest, no one would blame you since you were the one being used as the scapegoat. Let’s get everyone set up and get the show on the road. We started early. I hope you don’t mine. It’s not much. Just our things, I thought every little thing would help.” Marian greeted Ebony with a hopeful look. She was almost apologetic as she pointed out how they’d started setting up a headquarters. “It does Marian. Every little bit does. We’ve been so busy building our infr
Jaye and Benedict took two of his tracking members to the last known place where his people had seen him. They received his scent from his mate and as wolves, and they got to work. The humans are uncomfortable on how to react and respond to us. Do they leave us alone? Fear us? Do they talk to us like they talk to us like they talk to us as a human? How did they communicate back? It’s a tense situation. Ebony and the other rescuers stayed behind. This time she manned the headquarters, and the humans could see how she spoke with wolves while they were in their fur and in their skin. So, Benedict trotted over the rough land the humans were on ATVs a good distance behind them. They’re not able to safely keep up with wolves going over the rough land. They’d not believed this would happen when Benedict warned them it would happen. Benedict had informed them that they’d keep enough wolves spread back so that the
Absolute chaos setup became an organized headquarters that Ebony could man with a few humans and send out people with the wolves to search for the missing human. But she also had to send them out to search for the offending wolves and any other damage they’d done. Gifts of first aid kits, briefing meetings, mixed groups, and dealing with misunderstandings and intolerant attitudes. It’s expected, but with Benedict in the bush, it was Ebony’s job to deal with them. The humans who didn’t hunt through the wooded area seemed to make big business out of this by selling things from food, drinks, clothing, hats, sunscreen, hiking equipment, and other things. Ebony couldn’t understand how humans could justify profiting off the despair of others like this. Wolves and Packs would bond. They would come together to find them and ensure that a repeat of what happened wouldn’t happen again. But this, this almost celebrated the event. Ebony had to admit she couldn’t understand half the food t
“Oh, hey took you long enough to answer. Check your email and send Benedict to the coordinates. He’ll find the human he’s looking for there. But tell him to be careful the humans there aren’t innocent. However, he’ll find many facts to help gain the answers you need. I believe your new friend is also very knowledgeable. Ebony heard her sister Sapphire’s voice on the phone. Time was not right for her smile. But when was? Hearing her words through Ebony had a conflicted state until she concluded that she’d get down to business with the coordinates. “Hello to you too Sapphire. I gather you’ve ‘seen or sensed’ this. Is she offering genuine friendship?” Ebony was sure Marian was honest, but she’d be foolish if she failed to ask the sister who could uncover the truth through mystical means. “I know you hate answering questions like this, and I normally wouldn’t ask but it’s dangerous if I’m wrong.” “Yes, yes. Don’t worry she can se
She left the vehicle with a piece of paper in her hand, and she went in search of Benedict’s team. He’d been out there for five hours now as the first team. Now he brought them back in to give the humans a break. The humans were complaining because they wanted to return to searching again. They were having a problem understanding they were running in shifts. Benedict finally argued his point successfully that humans must eat and sleep at some point. Humans who weren’t trained as members of the military, emergency services, or something like a medical profession would have built up the ability to work with little to no sleep. They didn’t want to risk that either because that could end in injuries or deaths. Wolves didn’t sleep as much, but they still slept when they could. They knew its importance in situations like this. That and how it meant an increased chance more would come home alive to their loved ones.
Ebony Rose Kilburn returned to her beloved station after visiting for a few days with her family. She was eager to look at the new video footage of the local wildlife. But she got a rude awakening. The door was open, her things scattered everything. The red-haired beauty growled and cursed in annoyance. She was deep in the provincial park for the work of vagrants. There were two kinds of people. Both types were bad news, poachers, or rogue shifters. Officially, rogue shifters weren’t an explanation. As a wolf shifter, she was well aware of their existence. The reason she believed it wasn’t a pack of roaming raccoons is they don’t go into your fridge, take a can of cola out, open it, and leave the empty can on the table. She’d have to report this. Ebony looked at the door. She knew she locked the door. When she left for more than a few hours, she locked it. They didn’t force the door open. That most disturbed her. How did they get in? Ebony reviewed th
