Chapter 6 Payback

Skye and Camila have prepared dinner at the pack house for everyone from teens to toddlers and adults. They try to have pack house dinners regularly to keep their bond strong. Skye realizes Idalia and Aaron aren't home.

She addresses some of the kids they see them with, "Where are Idalia and Aaron?" The kids shrug their shoulders. Apparently, no one has seen them since training early that afternoon. The sun was setting and

A panic sets in but she keeps her composure. She mind links Damien 'Idalia and Aaron aren't home for dinner. No one has seen them.' She's overwhelmed by his rage through the link.

Damien rushes to the pack house with Julius and Kade on his tail followed by the others.

"I'm so sorry Damien." Skye pleads.

He doesn't speak. He gathers more wolves to follow him into the tree line surrounding all of their buildings, mainly where training is held. He knows they like to run off together.

"Humans!" He's sniffing the air. Their stench is not hard to miss. Damien, Julius, and Kade, followed by one after another, free their wolf. Peeling the earth beneath their paws as they quake through the woods snarling and bellowing to the sky.

It leads them deep into the woods blackening the surroundings revealing their glowing eyes. Flashlights shine ahead showing Idalia and Aaron tied up. Aaron is crying and Idalia is comforting him protecting him.

She screams "Let us go!" and smells that their dad is nearby. The men hear twigs snapping and rustling in the leaves.

"You want your mutts?!" one hunter screams.

"Shoot 'em!" another shouts.

Before any other words are muttered, Damien lunges at one of their throats ripping it open spraying blood into his mouth as he clamps down snapping it like a twig.

Idalia and Aaron have their heads down and eyes closed when they heard the shouting and gun shots. They knew what was about to happen. Damien instructs Kade to grab the kids and run.

Kade ran to them and lowered to the ground. Even with their hands bound they could still grip his fur tight, and he raced back to the pack house. Shots are firing off, barks and growls echo through the trees as Damien and his pack tear through each one of the men. Gargling screams as their throats are gashed open, they dissect an arm here, a leg there, slashed and squirting blood. Heads are torn and shredded scattered across the ground. Snapping bones as the wolves' fangs tore into each man causing the night to become quieter. Their paws slosh through the blood saturated grass and the carcasses crack under their weight as fangs continue to shred flesh.

Eerie silence consumes the night when Damien howls to the moon followed by the pack as they destroy the intruders that took his pups.
