His Spirit Wolf

Falcon’s POV ~ still ~

Axel and Anna have found Nathan’s phone to be a veritable fount of information. His base of operations turned out to be an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of a small town called Cottage Grove.. about 80 miles north of us.. the pack in that area is named Cascades Peak.. their Alpha is a diminutive man named Nicholai Andevski. A descendant of a russian grand alpha immigrant. I am calling him now to let him know my warriors are taking down hunter’s glen operations in ten minutes.

He answers “Alpha Andevski” and I tell him who I am and why I am calling.. He starts to bluster and I interrupt “You seem to be under the impression I need your permission, Nicholai.. I do not! I am sanctioned by the werewolf council and the monarchy to eliminate any and all threat to our species! This particular sect of hunters have been within your own territory for the past three years.. and you have done nothing. The leader of this clan has been on a KOS order for nearly 3 months.. and yet.. he was working.. living and interacting with your town, all that time. If I find you have aided and abetted him.. or his group.. your pack is forfeit! IF I find you are harboring or aiding any of the Culver family members.. your LIFE is forfeit! So, think long and hard before you utter your next words!”

There was a long pause.. then a sigh “You have done us a great service! As you know, we are a small pack. Only 600 wolves.. I only have 150 warriors. We share Cottage Grove with humans.. so we try to avoid problems when we can! Those hunters have terrorized everyone.. even the humans. I had never even heard the name Culver until I received the email concerning the warrants! I have just ordered my pack on lockdown.. please ask your warriors to keep damage to a minimum. Hell.. tell them we will provide them a hot meal before they return home!” He chuckled and I laughed with him! Hanging up, I said “That went well!”

Brady suggests “We may want to look into an alliance with him. He would benefit from our aid..and we can never have too many alliances.” I nodded. He’s right and Nicholai seems like a standup guy!

Anna jumped up and Bethany sprung into the room.. scaring the shit out of all of us and Axel yelled “What the fuck!?” Anna laughed “I think I found them” and Bethany snapped “I will fucking bite you! You scared me outta ten years growth! Fucking bitch!” And everyone of us cracked up while Anna hugged her apologizing “I’m so sorry, love! I got excited!” Bethany disappeared in a puff of blue and Anna turns to me “ They’re holed up in a cabin .. at least their phones are pinging off a tower 100 miles to the southeast! All three! We should send trackers out so we get an idea of what we’re facing when shit goes down!”

I pulled her into my lap.. wrapping her in my arms. She’s adorable when she’s so animated. I snuggle her neck and she giggles.. that is my favorite sound in the world! Looking over at Marcus “How are we set for trackers until our people are back from this raid?” He grins “Already on it, boss! I am sending five trackers with ten warriors for protection. After losing Virgil, I won’t take any chances with my men again!” I nod.. understanding that sentiment! He feels as much guilt as I do! It’s hard to lose anyone.. especially when we didn’t take proper precautions!

Axel speaks “Now that my pulse is manageable again.. thanks for that Luna (she just shrugs)… their phones are definitely there.. Google earth is showing a secluded cabin.. good sized.. registered to a corporation out of Canada.. so possibly a hunting lodge or something. I am running leases to see what pops. There does seem to be a security system.. but it’s run by a private contractor.. like ADT or something. Once I figure out which one.. Anna can work her magic and patch us in!”

Anna jumps up and yanks her laptop to her and starts doing whatever it is she does to help locate what they need. I don’t understand what they do.. but it has proven vital to our intelligence gathering! Sabrina comes in with Bonnie, bringing lunch. Belinda has been napping on the sofa since she’s still recovering. Brady asked if they had brought french fries and Sabrina snapped her head to him and he automatically says “I’m sorry” which had us all laughing again.

As we eat.. I let them know “Depending on what we find at that cabin, will determine how we go about the takedown. I will not endanger our people to serve warrants, when what I would prefer to do is just kill them. So I want to know numbers.. I want to observe their training.. learn their strategies.. if any. My mind is made up that Emmett will die.. regardless… he murdered our Luna’s family and pack.. for no other reason but his horny ass wanting someone who isn’t his. I mean.. all because he lost fingers trying to molest a child? How sick do you have to be!?”

Anna mumbles ‘I doubt I am the only child he did it to.. I just fought back and he was the stupid fuck thinking my daddy.. a spirit wolf..wouldn’t feel his baby’s distress’ and everyone of us say “Out loud thoughts “ with her following with “Fuck!” It’s become a thing, now! And we all love it! I said “But! She’s right! How can we find out if anyone has reported assaults in the past ten.. twelve years?” Axel chimes in.. “On it! Paper trails are easy to track!”

I hear a link come through 🐺 Alpha.. warehouse taken down…and burning. 35 human hunters dead or dying. We rescued 18 she-wolves in various states of injury. Coming in hot! 🐺 Take them straight to the infirmary! We will meet you there!

“We have to get to the infirmary and set up. Our warriors are returning with 18 wounded she-wolves that were held prisoner in that warehouse.” I called Nicholai and asked if he had any she-wolves go missing or knew of any other packs reporting any. He is missing two.. one from around 8 months ago.. and another two months back. Asked me for permission to enter my territory, which I immediately granted.

Anna looked at us all “If I find out the Culvers had anything to do with this.. I will play croquet with their balls… while they are still attached!” And every single manjack of us covered our nuts… can’t help it.. it’s an automatic, instinctive reaction to the visual!

We had examination rooms set up and organized.. Anna had laid out varying sizes of tee shirt and sweat pants.. socks and underwear. Telling us the women will want to be clean! A shower will go a long way toward feeling a sense of normalcy. Bonnie and Sabrina had prepared food trays.. with sandwiches and soups.. because light fare is probably all they would be able to tolerate for a few days.

Every time I see how we all come together and provide for our people like this… my heart swells with pride! How can you not love a group of people that know the meaning of giving!? Anna looks around.. she beams brightly at them all “Y’all are the bee’s knees!” And everyone laughs.. I adore my little southern firecracker
