Something was coming........Jack was with his pack, it was the time of a full moon again and his pack were circled around him and they could feel something was coming as well. Jack's ears were laid back against his skull, he felt a growl emitting from his throat. His pack members ears twitched back and forth, sniffing the air, they didn't like what they were sensing either.

Jack looked at all eight of his pack mates, some of them even looked alittle fearful and the others looked confused or concern. He didn't want to freak them out even more and they spent the remainder of their night talking really before they all head out. Jack's cabin was still burnt down, so he had to run back to where he had left his cloths.

He quickly got dressed once he was able to transform back into his old self, he stretched his long and muscled arms to get any soreness out and sigh softly. He looked out into the horizon, seeing the sun getting ready to come up. Whatever this feeling was....he knew it would have some impact on Bitter Springs but he couldn't freak out or take action until he knew exactly what it was that was coming this way.

He stuffed his hands in his pocket and threw on his beanie before walking down the trail that would lead out of the forest. It wasn't until he sense a familiar being heading his way did he stop and stare out in-front of him, blinking his eyes and waited for Sammy to reach him.

Sammy had been keeping himself busy over the last few days, doing everything he could to take his mind of the things that had been said amongst the wolves he had met the other night. He still felt humiliated and angry at how the other two had taken it. They knew nothing about his old pack and in all honesty, he prayed they would never have to.

He’d woken up with a start to Beau bursting through the door of his little shop after falling asleep, lack of it hadn’t been doing much in favour of him lately. As soon as he saw the look on Beau’s face he knew something was wrong. Climbing from his chair, he rushed over to his brother and pulled him in to a tight hug, trying to calm the hyperventilating boy down and soothe his hysterics. It was minutes before he got any sense out of him and Beau only needed to say two words to fill Sammy’s mind with terror.
“They’re coming…”

~*~

Sammy had dropped Beau of with his aunts with strict directions not to let him out of their site. Even if their family were humans, he would still be hidden there but only for a matter of time. Jumping in his car, it took him no time at all to be on the freeway heading towards the small town they lived just outside of. It took a while to drive but this was the safest way around to the other side of the forest. He needed to let them know, to make sure they had a warning and time to prepare for what was coming. This was no joking matter anymore, not that it ever had been for the two brothers, but things were about to be turned upside down for the small town of bitter Falls.

Parking his car in a lay by, he jumped out. Leaving his keys in the ignition and door open, he dashed off into the forest to search for the only person he knew may stand a chance in helping him. It wasn’t like he wanted it to come to this. If there was more time he would have taken his brother and fled but they already knew the brothers had taken up residence near here. That was enough to give them a reason to kill every one of them, man, woman and child.

His senses picked up what he was searching for and cutting through a clearing in the trees, he finally saw Jack. He slowed his pace as he approached him, a slight scowl on his face though this was no time to be arguing about who’s pack was bigger than who’s.
Reaching the man, he quickly got his breath back before glancing around and sniffing at the air to make sure they were alone. With the coast clear, he turned back to Jack with nothing but seriousness written across his face.
“Ok, I know I said I’d never need your help and blah blah blah but right now, I don’t think either of us have a choice. The old family have found our whereabouts and will be here in less than a week. I never wanted to bring this here but I think it may be too late… you need to warn the towns people Jack. This is no joke, please take this warning seriously and gather as many of your allies as you can. This isn’t going to end well.”

Sammy had come into view finally. Things hadn't ended well once they had parted ways last, course Jack scolded Hunter for what he had said to Sammy since Jack wanted things to be on good terms with Sammy and Beau.

Once the other approached him, he could sense something was wrong and wondered what kind of information was going to be spilling from the younger wolves lips. He cocked an eyebrow at what Sammy said first, but the last part of his news made him frown now and his brows furrowed.

Come on. He said simply, turning around and headed back to the packs usually meeting spot. He howled in the air, signalling for his pack to regroup.

Sure enough, a pack of about eight members came from the woods and into the clearing. Hunter looked to Sammy, frowning some before joining Jack by his side. The other members merely looked from one another then to their alpha.

You remembered what uneasy feeling we were getting.....I know why now.....their is a group of killer werewolves coming to Bitter Springs.....they will kill everyone in the city....men, women....children and your love ones! He announced.

Course the pack members looked angry at this, some of them even growled at the idea. Jack growled at them to be quite and everyone hushed up. I have to go warn the council....Hunter here will be your alpha for the next three nights.....I will return in about four days with new allies and I want everyone to train your hardest.....tonight though you need to get your family, friends any loves ones safe...I recommend taking them out of the city, but be back here by tomorrow at five and train....I will see you shortly and heed my warning....this is no laughing matter. He added and dismissed them.

Jack turned to Sammy now. And you.....I think its best if you join my pack....that way we can have more numbers...and its about time you face your uncle...your younger brother doesn't have to join but it would certainly be helpful and if you do join then be here by five in the afternoon tomorrow and train with the other pack members okay. He said.

Sammy stopped talking to get his breath back. He really had to start remembering to breathe as he talked rather than rushing through everything he had to say and then feeling like he was going to collapse after. He eyed the man, half expecting him to laugh or crack some wise joke but was surprised by how serious the guy sounded when he spoke. Moments later, he was following the alpha further in to the forest to a small opening in the middle of the trees.

It didn’t take long for the meadow to be filled with roughly eight other people, all of which Sammy guessed were in this man’s pack. Usually, he wouldn’t take to well to being surrounded by his own kind but now, as he ignored the frown that Hunter gave him and simply nodded his head at the young wolf, he kept his nerves together and kept quiet. Besides, he would much rather be surrounded by this pack than being surrounded and torn to pieces by his old pack.

The whole group fell quiet as Jack started to speak, explaining the feelings they had previously and finally being able to give them some answers. Sammy felt himself giggle at the mention of killer werewolves though quickly shut up when he got some funny looks of the others. His nerves were playing away at him much more than he had hoped they would.

Once Jack had finished talking, the pack erupted into noise, the whole lot of the discussing and asking questions amongst each other. Sammy turned his attention back to jack and listened carefully to what he had to say. It seemed he would have no other choice and it would be suicide to try run away and take them on him. He nodded his head in agreement though felt Beau may take a hell of a lot more convincing.

Glancing at Hunter, he allowed himself to smile slightly, a small burst of adrenaline shooting through his body as he pointed to the younger wolf. After ending things on a slightly sour note last time, he felt it only right to try ease the awkwardness between the two now.
“Does this mean squirt here is gonna be in charge of me??” He asked, a teasing tone in his voice as he bounded to Hunters side and pulled him in to a one armed cuddle. “I’m sure that’s reason enough for me to stick around. Thanks. But Beau… I think I’m going to have to leave this decision up to him. He is old enough to decide where he wants to stand now.” He explained as he tried to pull the seriousness back in to his voice before quickly shooting Hunter another playful look.

“So, top dog. Five tomorrow afternoon then yeah? You gonna be able to keep up?”

Once the pack members finally disperse, only him, Sammy and Hunter were left standing. Jack would have to give Hunter some more instructions on what the pack needed to be trained in and Hunter even needed to get some training done himself without Jack there.

Hunter just frowned even more at how Sammy was trying to ease the tension, but Jack gave his beta a glare that made him ease his negative facial expressions. Hunter merely blinked his eyes at Sammy when the other wolf pulled him into a one arm hug and Jack nodded. That's fine, but I need to know by either tomorrow or the day after, that way we can come up with our strategy and get some training for him in. He said.

The better question is, if you can keep up. Hunter remarked coolly before smiling some at Sammy and merely knocked the wolfs arm off his shoulder and went to Jacks side, whispering softly to the alpha.

Jack finally reminded Sammy the time and place and for him to be there tomorrow before he had to leave. He sped off to his apartment and made the phone call to Romania. His aunt picked up and handed the phone to his uncle, who was the alpha of the Stone pack. His uncle agreed to come down and help, but only if he got to see Jacks new daughter, which Jack agreed to. His uncle informed him they would be own there in about four days. He sent a telepathic message to Hunter, telling him that their allies would be down in four days, which Hunter sent out the telepathic message to the pack mates.

Listening to Jack was almost like being back in his own pack but it felt strange to actually be given a choice. For his brother, not for him. Either way, Beau had never been in a pack fight before as he’d never been allowed due to his age. He was the runt of the pack and their father refused him the right to fight fearing his attention would be broken if he had to rescue the youngest brother jeopardising the rest of the pack. Sammy felt very much the same way but every wolf was born to fight and it was time Beau got to make his own decision.

He nodded his head to show he accepted Jack’s request just before his attention was brought back to Hunter who made him grin with what he said. The kid had character and confidence, something that made Sammy chuckle lightly as he took in all the details he needed from Jack before watching the man take off through the forest and out of sight.

Turning back to Hunter, he only now looked worried again though hid it well behind fake confidence when he spoke.
“I guess I will see you tomorrow then. Then we will see who gets left behind yeah?” He said teasingly out of nerves before patting the boy on his shoulder and walking back the way he had come. All he had to do now was talk to Beau which he knew wouldn’t be easy. That was if he could even find the kid first.

The end.
