Chapter 9
Wolves and More Wolves
I’m in a small barren room with a barred-over window way up high. There’s a solar-powered lantern sitting near the door. The walls are beige bricks and have little holes throughout them from where stuff used to be bolted in. I can’t stand on anything to look out the window, and the chains will keep me from jumping that high. The shock collar is still around my neck. I walk over to the door and look out this little open slot in the door. I can’t touch the door itself; the chains are too short. There’s a high barred window down at the end of the hallway letting the moonlight shine in. There are some double doors down the hall which seem to be the only way to get out. Now I see shadows of two men walking in from those double doors. I quickly return to the spot against the wall where Mr. Bulky left me. The two men walk up and unlock the door. It’s [...] and some other Wolf I haven’t met yet. The stranger is tall, skinny, muscular, light-brown hair, green eyes… and really handsome. I feel myself blush and look down and away from them.

Chapter 10
Back to Roxy
None of us know where Constantine and Anatalia are. We can't reach them on their cell phones. At nine last night, the clan went searching around town. A few of them split and went looking in the neighboring towns too. Mica called Nick who stayed back at the house in case they returned. Apparently the front window of the town diner was broken. Mica said he couldn’t investigate due to cops surrounding the building with caution tape and a couple ambulances in the parking lot. He didn’t see the “family” truck, so he figured they weren’t there. It is now ten A.M. and we still haven’t heard from either of them.

Anatalia Out
I wake up forgetting where I am at first. I roll over and open my eyes to see [...] lying there next to me. I gasp and sit up real quick. He has a sly look on his face and chuckles.
“Mornin’ sunshine,” he says. He’s already dressed too, but he’s wearing different clothes. He turns on the other side of him to pick up a tall cup of fresh blood and hands it to me.
“Breakfast is served,” he says while I take the blood.
“Why are you being nice to me?” I ask him in between sips.
“Hey now, we got off on the wrong foot. The ladies say that I’m actually quite decent… once you get to know me,” he answers and winks.

Chapter 12
Roxy and Crew
We need to be careful and protect our identities at the airport since we’re sneaking weapons inside. Our plan is to run up the side of the building, knock out any security cameras, pick the lock to let us inside the stairwell from the roof, and then sonically run down the stairs so that cameras can’t catch our images. We will sonically run upside down along the ceiling to skip over security and the metal detectors.

Chapter 13
Anatalia Up, Up, and Away
We eventually land at the airport and are greeted by another Wolf who happens to work for airport security. He stamps all our documents and then shakes Dmitri’s hand. I glance at one of the boarding passes and it says our destination is Germany. The security Wolf leads us to a private plane that they force me to board. We wait while the fuel tank gets filled and the engine gets warm. One of the stranger Wolves from the old health clinic is the plane pilot. The other two stranger Wolves are sitting in seats ready to go. [...] makes me sit in a window seat and then sits next to me. He handcuffs my left wrist to his right wrist. Dmitri stands near the door while everyone gets settled.

Arianna and Company
Nick called me last night with some disturbing news. I got pissed when he told me that Anatalia is getting trafficked by Werewolves. Those guys are trickier and more strategic than Wolves are. You can’t even tell they’re animated if you’re not in the same pack….unless they change their form right in front of you. Poor Ani, she probably thinks they’re all just Wolves.

Anatalia in Action
[...] starts sonically running at me so I run around him to avoid getting shot again. He shoots and hits me. I pull this needle out of my shoulder while keeping an eye on him. He reloads and starts running at me again, but I dodge this third needle. We do this a few more times and then I’m able to tackle him and knock the bow and needles out of his hands.

Clan and Family, Arianna
We are now ready for battle and are approaching the building. We run into the forest next to the building’s property and check out the parameters. There are a few pack members guarding the property outside. I think they smell us, because they seem alert. A few of us sonically run and use tranquilizers on them so that they can’t make a scene and alert anyone inside. The ones that tranquilized the pack members pick the bodies up and sonically run them into the forest out of sight and kill them.

Anatalia Returns
I notice that I’m lying on top of a dead body and see a bloody blade with a heart stuck to it near my hand. I’m wearing a long black coat, similar to the ones that the Werewolves have. I lift my head and see a whole bunch of our international clan members watching in horror and crying.
I look back down to find another heart near the blade. I lean back and realize there’s another body underneath the one that I fell on.
