CHAPTER 39
I walked through the forest behind the pack as I was headed towards town. I didn’t want anyone to see me even though it was late and a lot of people were in bed.
I heard wolves patrolling the area but thanks to my heightened senses, I was able to avoid them pretty easily. And I didn’t have the same scent as a normal werewolf. I was able to hide my scent if I really concentrated. And this was one of those times when I really needed to hide
- it.
I didn’t want any warriors running back and telling the triplets which way I went or that they
saw me at all.
I got to town in the middle of the night and I kept walking through the forest until I came
across my old house and I could hear Evelyn and Henry inside.
They were still awake and by the sounds of it, they were both drunk. They had their music up
loud but they were screaming at each other.
It wasn’t long before I heard Henry hit Evelyn and I looked through the window to see her on
the floor of the living room. But he was also bleeding from the head and I saw a broken beer
bottle in Evelyn’s hand.
I just shook my head and kept walking past the house.
I got back into the forest and I knew when I reached the border of the triplets pack.
So I turned back to look and I made sure that no one had managed to sneak up on me and no
one was watching me and I kept walking.
I had managed to walk a really long way through the Alaskan wilderness by the time day
broke.
I knew that now was the time I should be moving. Because I knew that the vampires wouldn’t be. They would have found shelter from the sun by now. And this is my chance to get as close
to them as possible.
I wasn’t walking for too long before I started looking around at where I was.
There was nothing around me. Nothing but forest and I knew that there was no going back
now. I was committed to this and I needed to see it through.
I found a tree that looked really sturdy and I jumped up to the bottom branch and pulled
myself onto it.

CHAPTER 39
I managed to climb up pretty high and I could see a long way in the distance from here.
I could tell that it wasn’t all wilderness. Pretty soon I would be coming to a lot of areas where
there was no forest or any cover at all.
Not that I needed it, but I didn’t want people to see me either.
I had to pretend like I was just another hiker out here if I ran into anyone.
That shouldn’t be too hard. I made sure that I was dressed like a hiker. It was a good cover in case I ran into any humans who might ask questions about me being out here alone.
I sat in that tree for several minutes before I saw them run under the tree and they stopped to
look around.
“How the f**k did we lose her?” Koda yelled.
“I don’t know. She’s fast.” Tyler said.
“She couldn’t have gotten that far away.” Dean said.
I looked down at them shaking my head. So I reached into my bag and I pulled out a gun.
I jumped down from the tree and landed on my feet on the ground right behind the guys.
“You didn’t lose me. I knew that you were following me.” I said.
So they all turned around and stared at me.
Before they had a chance to say anything, I raised the gun and I shot the three of them in
quick succession.
They never had a chance to dodge the tranquilizer darts that were filled with wolfsbane.
I kneeled down between them and I grabbed my phone out and I called their father.
I explained to him what happened and where I was. So he was going to send someone to
come and get the triplets.
He was pretty concerned that I drugged them, but I knew that crap would be out of their system in no time. He just had to get here before they woke up.
He was sending some warriors in cars to come and collect them.
So I got up and I took a few steps away from them.
I raised my hand and I placed a protection spell over them so no one would be able to touch them except for their own pack. It had to be a very specific spell. But I didn’t have the time to wait for the warriors to get here and I didn’t want to risk anyone hurting them since they
seemed to be on a lot of hit lists right now.

I left them where they were, with the protection around them. No one could get through that spell because it was my own creation. Not a generic spell. If it was generic then any witch could get through it. But since I created it, I was the only one that could break it.
Which is why I made it so only their pack members could collect them.
I turned around and started running through the forest, trying to make up time for what I lost
while I was dealing with the triplets.
It wasn’t too long before I broke through the forest and there was nothing but land and hills in
front of me.
I didn’t have time to stop. So I kept running across the vast plains, getting small glimpses of
the beauty of what Alaska had to offer.
By nightfall I had run 100 miles, only because I ran a hell of a lot faster than humans. And I
found somewhere to camp for the night next to a lake.
I set up a fire and I looked at the map to see how much further I had to go.
I knew where I would be heading off this army but I was hoping that because they were new vampires and still developing their skills that it would hold them back a bit.
And there was no doubt in my mind that there would be fighting among that army. New vampires didn’t know how to get along and didn’t like to share food. So, that was going to
work in my favor. But it was also going to work against me.
It meant that they were going to be killing a lot more people tonight, but I just couldn’t get to
them in time.
I was exhausted and I knew that I wouldn’t be any good to anyone if I was too tired when I
found them.
I needed to rest. But I then heard a couple of voices walking up behind me and I knew that rest
wasn’t going to come easily to me.
I turned my head around to see two guys walking towards me.
“Hi there.” One of them said.
Humans. I should have known. Guys who think they can hike the Alaskan mountains and live
to tell the tail.
If they don’t come across any bears then they might get lucky.
“There’s a campsite about 10 miles from here.” I said.
“Why aren’t you staying there?” The second guy asked.

CHAPTER 39
“Because I don’t play well with others.” I said, turning back to look at the calm lake.
“Well, maybe we like that in a woman.” The first guy said.
“If I wanted company then I would have invited you to stay. But I didn’t. So get lost.”
“You’ve got a real mouth on you.” The first guy said.
“You have no idea.” I said.
“I think we need to teach this b***h a lesson.” The second guy said.
So I rolled my eyes and I stood up and faced the guys.
I walked right up in front of them and they both looked at me with wicked and evil eyes, like they had very unhonorable intentions.
So I grabbed each of them by their hair and I slammed their heads together hard enough that it knocked them both out.
“Assholes.” I said.
I dragged them both over to a tree that wasn’t far from where my camp was and I sat them both up on either side of the tree and I grabbed my rope and tied it around them so they couldn’t get loose.
I walked back over to my camp and I laid down, using my bag as a pillow and I went to close
