2: What happened, and whats going on

I sit with them on the porch, and take the cup of coffee that Micheal offers me, as i start to tell them everything that happened. 

"Father came to me two days ago, he had learned of a plot... to kill Alpha maxwell. As the captain of the guard it is my fathers job to protect the Alpha, but to do so would require the use of his guard. Most of whom can only fight effectively in wolf form. Which would leave them vulnerable to the more deadly weapons of the hunters..." I trail off and take a drink of my coffee. Micheal is the first to speak.

"Your father asked you to... what? Assassinate these hunters? Thats fucked up... I mean.. Annie., i know you are good with hand to hand combate and all... But considering your condition, that does seem risky to me..." he says.

I know that the "condition" he is refering to is that i was the first of our kind to be born without a wolf, i still have hightened senses compared to the average human. My sight and hearing is nearly as good as the guys, and my sense of smell IS as good as theirs, but i cannot shift into a wolf. The theory is that i was born with only one soul, whereas the others where born with a twin soul, two souls fused into one being. 

Micheal thinks that because i cannot shift i should be kept at home, where our enemies will not be able to get to me. But I am a soldier, and alpha blood runs through my veins, because my father is Alpha Maxwell's younger brother, and their father was Alpha before him. 

"No, Micheal, he did not send me to kill anyone. I was to spy on them. Pose as a human, and a Hunter, join them if i could. To find out what they where up to." I told them.

"Where did that go wrong?" Peter asked. Because obviously things did not go to plan as i was couvered in blood. 

"Well, to start with, they had a witch working for them, and she could tell that i was more than a normal human, but she wouldnt figure out what i was. She sensed me while i was watching from the next warehouse over. One of the men, not the leader, but he was higher up by the way the others spoke to him. He came into the building to see who was there...The thing is, by the time he got into the warehouse i was in, someone else had entered it, from the back. Only this other man was masking his scent somehow, i should have smelt him, but i didnt, i heard him. I tried to play the Hunter card, act like i was there to join them. But the hunter was not convinced, he attacked me. He was angry, but that made him slow. He screamed when i killed him, and then the others came. Some of them stayed outside, breaking out the windows and trying to shoot me with darts full of wolvesbane and deadmans blood, they didnt know what to make of me. I slaughtered 37 of them, but thats not really the imoprtant part of the story. I burned down their warehouse, after i checked their files to see what infermation they had on the pack. They knew far more than i am comfortable with, but i think i took care of them..." I paused the tale again to drink some more coffee, hoping to warm my body. 

I take a deep breath and continue "When i was sure there was no more hunters i doused their whole warehouse in gasoline. I returned to the bodies, and piled them up, retrieving my throwing knives and their weapons as i did. I lit the pile on fire, but when i turned for the last three bodies, a man stepped out of the shadows. The wind was at my back, so i couldnt smell him even when i saw him." I turn to face Ri'elle and add "I thought all the masks like that could only mask the scent of someone while they remained out of sight... But once you see them, you should be able to smell them, right?" I ask, looking around the group at large. 

It was Ri'elle who answered, "Yes, that is true for all the masks i know of. But magic is ever changing and growing, so this may be something we have never come across, something... new." 

I nodded and continued "The thing is, this man he looked at me... i don't know how else to explain it, he looked at me like my Father looks at my mother... in love.?I have never seen him before in my life, but he spoke to me as if he knew me. I mean, he didn't like, know things about me, or anything like that. He just seemed surprised that i didnt know who he was, he sounded offended that i didn't recognize him. He said 'You have no idea who i am, do you?' and then he said something about being covered in blood brings out my eyes. It was strange, the whole time i was sure that he was going to attack me, but he didn't. And i know, and dont ask me how, but i KNOW he was a wolf and not a hunter. Something about his eyes, they sort of flickered like a flame. Then i grabbed my last few throwing knive, and my bag, and i ran here." I finished, a little anticlimactic. 

Micheal and Peter shot to their feet, thinking that i may have been followed here by a man without a scent. If we are being honest, the fact that he had no scent means he might have been able to follow me, but i doubt it since i was paying close attention to the sounds around me, listening for someone following me. Micheal does not care how careful i think i was, and i know it, but i tell him anyways "Micheal, i was not followed, i was carefull..." But he was already across the yard, he and Peter leave to search a few blocks around us, i turn to Ri'elle to ask the question that is burning inside of me.
