"Hold up a for a second! You're telling me that this pack we're trying to assemble doesn't have an Alpha?" Jess said angrily."We won't need one. We'll gather enough wolves and take the fight to The Mullers and I'm sure when the other packs see us taking a stand, they'll be encouraged to join the fight." Maximus assured her."Oh sure, of course! Silly me. A werewolf pack doesn't need an Alpha. What was I thinking?" Jess said sarcastically and kicked away some furniture in the motel room in anger."Relax Jess!" Mira said to her."No don't ask me relax! I gave up the vampires' protection because you both told me that you had a plan and now you say our pack won't have an Alpha. How the hell are we supposed to fight and win against the Mullers if we don't have a heart? Because that's what an Alpha is to a pack; their heart. And without that heart, the pack loses it's strength, it's courage, it's will, it's spirit and the members become lost, and broken, living an empty life without a purp
Leon and Maximus took the kid back to the cabin with them. He still hadn't told them who he was or why he was working for the Mudders but it was obvious that he was forced to.Mira was asleep by the time the guys returned and so was Jess, but their sense of smell was strong enough to catch the scent of another wolf even in their sleep. They both woke up and went downstairs just as Leon, Maximus, and the kid were coming in."And who's this supposed to be?" Jess asked the guys."A potential recruit," Maximus replied.Mira took in a whiff of the air and could smell Mudders on Maximus."Why do you smell like those filthy Mullers?" She asked."I fought some of them and took their clothes." He explained.Leon excused himself from the living room and walked to the back of the house and Maximus decided to go speak with him."Just give me a second! And don't take your eyes off the kid. He's got some explaining to do." Maximus said and walked away."Sit!" Mira ordered the kid and he sat down.M
The next morning, Mira and Maximus woke up in each other's arms on the forest floor. The sun was already up and it cascaded over their naked bodies."Good morning!" Maximus said to Mira with a smile."Morning," Mira replied and quickly got up and began putting on her clothes."We have to head back to the cabin. Leon and Jess might be thinking that something bad had happened to us." She said."Yeah, you're right." Maximus agreed. He got up as well and put on his clothes.Mira grabbed the dead stag and was about to start walking when Maximus grabbed her arm, pulling her towards him."You seem a bit distant this morning. Don't tell me you regret what happened between us last night?" Maximus asked, his warm breath hitting her cheeks."Of course, I don't regret it. It was the most pleasure I've felt in a while," she said and gave him a quick yet tender kiss, "But we need to get back." She finished.Maximus let go of her arm and they walked back to the cabin..."Jess! There they are." Leo
Cornelius Primo stood in front of his destroyed warehouse, steaming with anger.Gable walked up behind him to give him some information about what happened."Alpha, one of the guards was able to give me some information before he died. It's just as you suspected. The warehouse was destroyed by Maximus Cullen and Mira River, along with some other werewolves." Gable informed."It seems I've been too complacent about those two. I assumed they wouldn't be such thorns in my flesh. It's about time we take care of them, permanently." Primo said to Gable."And how do we do that?" Gable asked."Call the hounds. It's time for them to go hunting," Primo replied...."Put some pressure on it!" Mira said to Leon.He pushed a piece of cloth to Jess' side to prevent her from losing more blood."Is she going to be okay?" Michael asked, looking really worried."She'll be fine. We just have to get the bullet out and sew her up." Mira assured him."Alright guys, we're here!" Maximus informed after the
They followed Nelly out of the forest and into town. He led them into a bar and out the back door which seemed to transport them to another location."So, I heard y'all are starting your own pack so you can defeat some werewolf overlord," Nelly asked sarcastically."It's not a joke, alright? But what would you know about it? Witchers have made us their enemies for generations and have turned a blind eye to the problems of the supernatural world." Maximus said, upset."Is that what you think? That we don't care? This is our world too, you know. We don't interfere with werewolves and vampires because that's the law, but when things get out of hand, we take action." Nelly explained."When have Witchers ever taken action?" Mira asked."Now!" Nelly answered.He reached another door and opened it, gesturing at them to walk through it."Where will this take us?" Maximus asked."It will take you where you need to go. She's waiting for you." Nelly answered.Maximus led the way into the door, f
"You almost stepped out of the hex, Maximus! He was just trying to annoy you and you stupidly almost fell for it." Mira scolded Maximus as they went back inside."I wasn't going to step out," Maximus claimed."Yes, you were." Mira fired at him."Ok maybe I was, maybe I was going to give him what he's asking for," Maximus admitted."Listen to me, Max," Mira said and held his face, "we have to be smart about this. Now's not the time to do something foolish. We will get justice for all our packs, but we need to be patient. Can you be patient?" Mira asked, looking deeply into his golden eyes."Yes, I can," Maximus replied and pulled away from her hold and went to his room.Everyone else went on with getting themselves settled into the house while Maximus sat in his room, feeling so much rage that he could barely contain.He got up, walked over to his window and looked outside at the exact spot on where Primo was standing just a few minutes ago. Then, he remembered his words."If you wish
Leon drove the bus as quickly as he could and headed straight for the mansion so they could enter into the safety of the hex. He knew that it was the only way they could survive their encounter with the Firehounds and tore through the streets in desperation.Maximus and Michael couldn't shift into their wolf forms and fight effectively inside the bus so they remained in their human form. Fabian and Lamar chose their targets and went after the guys. They were quickly overpowered by the Firehounds who attack with ferocity. Fabian grabbed Michael's neck and slammed him into some seats."Michael?!" Maximus called out and tried to come to his aid but was held back by Lamar. He grabbed Max and threw him to the front of the bus, right through the windshield and out of the bus."Maximus!" Leon called out in horror, thinking Maximus had fallen out of the bus but was relieved to see him hanging on."I'm okay but Michael needs help," Maximus said to Leon.Leon looked behind him and saw the two F
It was morning now and Leon was the first to wake up. He went downstairs and headed straight for the kitchen to drink some water.Jess was next to come down, followed closely by Michael. They all took seats in the kitchen and began a conversation."So, what exactly happened last night?" Jess inquired."What happened is that we had our asses handed to us by three Firehounds," Leon said angrily.It was clear that he was starting to feel like they wouldn't be able to defeat The Mudders because they could barely hold their own against the Fire-hound brothers. He was beginning to doubt their ability to end the war by themselves because Primo had too much power and too many powerful beings working for him."They were so devastating. Garrick used to tell me stories about Firehounds but I never thought they would be so powerful. The only reason we're still alive is that we were lucky." Michael said solemnly."We need more wolves but the stupid compass hasn't moved in days," Leon said frustrat
