The Wolf In Me

Mei's POV

I was upset, listening to all the stupid ideas that were coming out of everyone's mouths. I, on the other hand, had no idea of what we could do in such a short time.

"Melody was right. Everything you two are saying is a nuisance. You are the highest two leaders of all the wolves in the world, and you plan like two kids playing lions and tigers! Can't you notice how pathetic you both sound?" I yelled at the boys, now reaching my limits.

Everyone got silent after a whole fifteen minutes of them chattering none stop about different plans. They turned their wide eyes at me, shocked at my attitude. I sighed knowing that I was a bit too harsh on them, but at least they stopped talking for a moment.

"Ah, that's better. I couldn't stand your ongoing babbling. Now listen. I think I might have a plan I want to discuss."

I looked at them intently, making sure they are interested in my explanation.

"Have you noticed that whoever wants to chat with you Luka, has never seen you before? They might not know who you are. We can take it to our advantage. Probably one of the main reasons why they want you to meet is to see who the great Alpha is. We can get someone else to go in your stead and we observe from a good enough distance to see what their intentions are. Since we don't want the fake alpha to be taken away from us or worse, killed, we can arm ourselves with some weapons which we can use in worst-case scenarios. If we feel they are too close to him, we shoot."

Luka tapped his index finger against the table whilst muffling with his now longer beard with his other hand after he left it to grow for another two inches. That only means that he was considering my idea. As he fixed his throat he turned with his chair, stood up and moved towards a large wooden box that sat at the very corner of the room.

"I have only one shotgun which my dad used to use when he liked to go hunting the human way. I got some bullets, but I hope only that it still works. It has been a while since it was last used, and we have a lack of time to check it out. But, I think it is a good idea for a short notice."

He turned to show us the weapon, opening the magazine loading port to check for any bullets in it.

"Empty," he said frowning, thinking hard, closing it again.

"I used to go hunting with him, well, just to observe of course. But I can remember how he used to manoeuvre it."

Turning the muzzle towards his face, he peeped through it, checking if it was clean, then turned it around again, holding it from the wooden grip. Smiling at us, he placed the shotgun on the table, making a thud sound.

"Are you all in for the plan?" He asked, looking at everyone.
