The Wolf In Me

Jake's POV

"Stretch,stretch,stretch. Great, now another side," I said as I was warming up the pack of wolves to get ready for the run.

"Great. Now I want everyone in line. Get ready to run in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, run!"

I clicked the button on the time watch and waited for the pack to come back within an hour. Luka has just come down to have a word with me about this afternoon plan.

"Do you feel that the pack is ready?" He asked scratching his thick beard.

"I believe so. Look at them. They are training seriously. They don't stop or complain one bit. They have become stronger and sharper. Look at Malakai's team over there. So in line and precise. Right?"

He watched them for a while just admiring them.

"I don't want to lose even one of them tonight. Let's hope they are sharp enough. The vampire's children are hidden below ground. It will take time to get to them. I want thirty of the packs to guard this area here, ten of the packs to guard point one of the forest, another ten packs to guard point two, and the last few of the packs to guard point number three. I will be going with dad this morning to find their hiding spot," he explained.

"Sounds like a plan," I answered. "But, don't you think I should come too? You might need backup," I suggested.

"No need. The less we are the better. I don't want them to sense our presence. They smell blood from fifty miles away."

I nodded and looked at the timer.

"Here they come," I told him smiling. Sure enough the first few started to show up.

"I'll let you to it then," he said as he turned to walk back inside.

"Well done everyone!" I said clapping my hands whilst watching everyone trying to catch their breaths back.

The guards closed the gate as soon as the last of the pack entered.

"Let's start the cooling down, then we get ready for breakfast," I said thinking of how hungry I was getting.
