-MILA-The moon hung low in the night sky, casting a pale silver glow over the backyard area of the hotel room as Lobo and I stood at the edge of the back porch. The looming threat of the rogue werewolves weighed heavily on our minds, and a sense of urgency pushed us to find a solution. My heart raced as I looked at Lobo."Lobo, we can't just wait around. We need to take action," I said, my voice tinged with determination.He nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on the horizon. "You're right, Mila. Alpha Zeke's Pack is counting on us to find a way to neutralize the rogue threat.""We can't risk a full-on attack," I mused, my mind racing through the possibilities. "But if we could make contact with the rogue pack's leader, maybe we could reason with them. Find a way to prevent further violence and offer them a spot in our Pack."Lobo's gaze sharpened, his eyes reflecting the moon's shimmering light. "You have a point. We need to track them down and demand an audience with their leader.
-MILA-The air was charged with tension as Lobo and I walked toward the cabin. The towering trees loomed over us, casting long shadows on the forest floor. Lobo's presence beside me offered some comfort, but my unease persisted. We were on our way to meet Alpha Zeke, and I had a feeling this was going to end badly. Something told me he wasn't going to be very happy that we went to the rogues alone.Lobo's hand brushed against my side as he matched my pace. His golden eyes were a mirror of my own concerns, but he remained steadfast. We had a plan – or at least, the beginnings of one.Alpha Zeke's cabin came into view, it looked different in the daylight. It was both intimidating and awe-inspiring, a reflection of the power he held. As we approached, two sentries flanking the entrance lowered their heads in acknowledgment of our presence. The giant wooden doors creaked open, revealing the dimly lit interior.Zeke sat at the far end of the den, his massive form radiating authority. His g
-MILA-Lobo and I sat outside the restaurant, we were hidden in the car. According to Lana, one of the wolves from the rogue pack was seen having lunch at this spot every day. Without Fenrir, so today was our first move. We waited patiently to see the wolf so we could approach him about joining us."You seem nervous," Lobo spoke suddenly, breaking the heavy silence between us."I am. There are many ways this can go wrong.""Relax. In any case, tonight I want to take you to dinner to celebrate our engagement."I smiled at his words, "For such a scary beast, you sure are a romantic at heart."He grinned but it fell away into a serious look, "There he is."We jumped from the car and hurried across to the wolf.He immediately regarded us with a wary look in his dark eyes."What are you doing here?" He looked around nervously."We have a proposition for you. One we wished to discuss in private, without Fenrir." Lobo spoke calmly.The wolf frowned, his dark hair covering much of his forehe
-MILA-Alpha Zeke sat across from us at his table in the cabin. Lana and Laura flanked him on either side, all three held a serious expression on their faces.Zeke clasped his hands together on the tabletop, "So, what do you have for me?"Lobo glanced at me before speaking, "We have some of the rogue members willing to leave Fenrir. One still seems skeptical, but I'm positive that he will come around."Zeke nodded thoughtfully, "Very well. When will the attack take place? I would like you to liaise with us so we can lend you some of our finest fighters.""I want to give it a day or two. I want to give the members a chance to make an alliance with us before we go in killing." Lobo explained.Laura - at least I thought it was Laura- leaned forward, "AAlpha, if I may?"Zeke nodded, giving her permission to go on."If you have spoken with them, I think that is courtesy enough. We cannot risk another attack from them. They have already killed some of our wolves.""I understand that. But th
-MILA-Lobo was in the shower, and I was on the sofa when his phone started ringing on the table."Lobo! Your phone!" I called out, reaching for the ringing phone."Answer it!" He called back.Zeke's name flashed across the screen. The moment I saw his name, I knew something was wrong."Hello?""Mila? Where is Lobo?" Zeke sounded annoyed and impatient."He's in the shower, would you like me to take a message?""No. I would like you to get him out of there and tell him to come and see me. Now.""Give me a minute." I got to my feet, holding the phone to my shoulder as I went to Lobo, "It's Zeke. He wants to speak to you and sounds really pissed off."Lobo stepped out of the shower, frowning as he took the phone from me.I sat on the closed toilet while I watched, his brow furrowed deeply as he listened to something Zeke said on the other end of the line."What? When?" Curious, his voice hiked as he walked to the mirror, "We'll be right there."I raised my brows, "What was that about? An
-MILA-I walked beside Lobo as we made our way toward the rogue Pack with Zeke and his Pack members.Glancing over at Lobo I was surprised to see him looking calm and collected. I couldn't help but wonder how he could look so calm when we were walking into battle. I shook my head, it was just another mystery about Lobo."Stay close." He muttered, leaning down to my ear.I nodded, hoping I looked more confident than I felt.As we stepped into the clearing, the wolves from Zeke's Pack shifted and rushed toward Fenrir's rogues. Lobo turned to m, giving me a curt nod before taking off with the others.I hung back, leaning against a tree trunk. I couldn't feel the slightest indication of a shift coming on, so I stayed back, not exactly wanting to risk my life in this.It was a blur of fur and claws as they went straight into fighting each other. I noticed a few of the rogues weren't involved in the fighting going on.They must be the ones who want to join us. I looked out at the war trans
-MILA- Upon Lobo's return, he came back without Fenrir leaving me to believe that Fenrir was no longer a problem.I excused myself to wait in the car while Lobo spoke with Zeke.I wasn't very happy with what Zeke had done. I felt he had risked our lives for something that could have easily been avoided.And with the way I was feeling, I knew I would have a problem keeping my mouth shut after my chat with Zeke.There was a feeling of anger in me that I wasn't used to. Threatening to burst forth from me if given the chance.I watched as Lana and Laura walked over to join Lobo and Zeke. There it was again, the anger threatening to bubble out.Don't do it. I told myself, fighting the urge to go out and voice my unwanted opinion.I bit on my thumbnail as I watched them. I wanted to go out there and scream at them. So many lives were lost, all because of Zeke's ego. It angered me to know that they were the reason that so many people died.Lobo turned, his eyes meeting mine for a second.T
-MILA-I was frozen in place when the words left Lobo's mouth.She's been giving you herbs to stop you from falling pregnant.Lobo rushed passed me, his hand closing around Shauna's neck, pulling me from my trance."Lobo, wait!" He turned to me, looking at me as if I had lost my mind."We must be fair." I reminded him, even though I felt like I was ready to tear her apart myself.Lobo snarled at Shauna before roughly throwing her to the ground, "Mitch, lock her away."The Pack was silent. An awkward tension rising in the air.Lobo turned to me, "Come." I followed behind him, not daring to look at Shauna as I passed by.When I stepped into the house - an older cabin- I noticed Betty sitting in a chair near the back."Tell Mila what you told me." Lobo demanded, crossing his arms over his chest.Betty looked at me, "Those herbs Shauna gives you aren't just vitamins. She's been mixing herbs into it that stop you from falling pregnant.""I heard that already. Why?""When you first arrive
