That evening, Mira prepared some deer meat barbecue for them to eat for dinner and they ate together on the porch of the cabin."Thanks for the meal. It was delicious." Maximus said graciously."Stop lying. I'm a terrible cook. Francis was the chef in our pack. He was the oldest and wisest of us and always tried to teach me how to cook but I was never interested." She said and took a sip of her beer."It sounds like you were pretty close to him," Maximus said when he noticed the slight change in her tone. It was less harsh and more sombre."Yeah, I was. He was the one that turned me and he saved my life in doing so." Mira said.There was a short silence between the both of them for a little while. They just stared at the forest in front of them while they ate and drank."So, tell me about you!" Mira suddenly said."What do you wanna know?" Maximus replied."What were your intentions with the human girl? Were you planning on killing her or turning her?" She asked."What? No, of course
While Mira and Maximus stared at the map on the table, wondering where to go so they could look for more lone wolves, Leon went deer hunting. They had been deliberating on it for two days straight, not sure of where to begin their search."Look Maximus, there are a lot of packs all over America but we need to recruit wolves that have been affected by Primo's war which means we have to search within here in North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and South Carolina. Those are the closest cities and they are the only ones that have been affected by The Muller's revolt." Mira said while reading the map."Ok, but where do we even begin? We can't just go around from pack to pack, looking for wolves to join our cause. We don't know which of these packs have sworn allegiance to Cornelius Primo." Maximus said with concern.Just then, Leon returned with a buck around his shoulders. He entered the cabin and went into the kitchen and placed the deer on the table.He came back out and asked what progre
A werewolf could become an Alpha in exactly three ways; By killing another Alpha and taking his power, the descendance of an Alpha who willingly gives his power to another werewolf, OR by achieving a rare level of supernatural upliftment and becoming an Alpha on your own; a true Alpha.Cornelius Primo was meant to become the Alpha of the Mudders after his father stepped down which wasn't supposed to be for another fifty years. He was overly ambitious and power hungry so he killed his father with his own hands and became the Alpha. But, his ambitions didn't stop there. He wanted more power, more territory and more werewolves so, he had his betas turn more humans into wolves and added them to his army. When he had enough werewolves, he began his war against the other packs. One after the other, he killed other Alphas who refused to pledge allegiance to him, taking their strength and power and controlling their packs, the ones that survive at least...."Oh Benjamin, I gave you a chanc
"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
