Chapter 110: Rogues
It was dark out and the majority of the pack members were still busy at the party. Serena walked the darkened streets of Night Sky territory without any concern.
The threat was removed, and there had never been any attacks in the village. The hospital was a few blocks away, and the walk was quick enough. There would be plenty of nurses and hospital staff there too. It felt unusually dark that night. Serena shivered a little in the cold. She clutched her shawl around her tighter, but the shiver wasn’t coming from outside. It was something under her skin.
turning the corner, she stepped again. She closed her eyes, sniffing the air as the wind swept by. She caught the scent of some wolves. It was unfamiliar to her. Turning around, Serena saw them approaching in the shadows. Three were in wolf form, but two were in human form. Even with her sharp, night vision, she couldn’t see their features as they kept themselves hidden in the darkest shadows out of the beams of light from the
Serena’s heart rate picked up. These weren’t wolves she had seen or met at the party. They weren’t members of Night Sky or Starseeker pack. “Don’t move, and we won’t hurt you,” one of the rogues said. Breathing heavily, Serena glanced behind her. If she ran, there was a chance she could still make it to the hospital before the approaching rogues caught her. She looked back at them. They were moving slowly, but she knew she’d never have a chance on two legs. If she could run in the opposite direction, she’d have a chance to shift and get ahead of them, but that was only if she could get enough distance between them when she ran. Already, the rogues in wolf form were so close they could pounce on her from where she stood. “I don’t want any trouble,” Serena said, holding her hands up to show she wasn’t going to make a scene. “Good” the one who spoke to her first said. “Be smart about this.” Rogues Serena looked around quickly. There wasn’t anything in her immediate area that she could use to her advantage. She wasn’t going to make it easy on them, though. She had to fight, because she had kids waiting for her. “I will,” Serena said. She pulled her shawl off and threw it at the closest rogue in wolf-form. It covered the wolf’s eyes, and Serena ran in a direction that was most advantageous. The closest rogue to her escape route was in human form and he would be slower to react. Serena ran as fast as she could, heart racing in her chest. She tore at her shirt as she ran, ripping it off to free herself so she could shift. On four legs, she was a lot faster. Serena ran
close enough, she could let out a howl that would alert the others. Serena raised her head, ready to
