The Nomad

recovery

As we arrived at the southeast side of the pack lands in time to witness a rogue ripping one of our warriors throats out. I took a calming breath and willed Katara to take over for me.

We sprinted from the tree line as the other rogues began to approach; the remaining warriors layed on the ground unable to move.

Katara lept into the air landing on one rogues back as she sunk her canines into his throat ripping out his larynx. She turned dropping the wolf and watched our search party take out the last couple rogues as she made her way to our wounded warriors. They watched Katara with fear seeping from every pore not knowing who this small vicious wolf was but they could feel the Alpha power emanating from her.

"John who is that? I've never seen such a tiny wolf. She cant belong to our pack can she?" Michael breathed with a shakey voice as he began scooting away from the tiny black wolf approaching them

Slowly John began to relax as he looked into Katara emerald eyes.

"It's Jazmine" John stated as a smile formed on his lips he couldnt suppress the giggle escaping his mouth.

"Michael its Jazmine. She's come to save us. Stop being afraid of the damn child!"

Katara approached John and began to rub her snout on his arm. He lifted his hand a rubbed her soft black fun.

"Thank you for saving us Jazmine"

she lowered her head to the ground accepting their grattitude then stood and began inspecting their wounds.

Michael had a deep gash in his thigh going down to the bone and a few scrapes on his face and arms. He definitely can't be moved very far.

John on the other hand has a broken arm and multiple scratches on him

Katara gives me back control so we can speak face to face while I explain the situation.

"John I need you to help get Michael inside the pack house and lay low. Michael cant move much so we will have to come back with the doctor for him. I will leave you and another with him incase rogues come back." Jazmine spoke with more authority than any 10 year old should have. All the warriors were able to do is nod their head in understanding before they hobbled to the pack house.

While dealing with these rogues I heard approximately 7 other links going out for assistance each followed by a response of "backup is coming". She took a moment to appreciate her wolves hard work before she sent out her own link.

"recovery team 1 has saved the targets. We will continue to search for survivors as we go. lead all wounded to the pack house. John and Michael are inside. Stay safe and watch you backs. Strength from within Coldrose pack!"

"recovery team 2 successful!"

"recovery team 3 successful!"

"team 4 successful"

"team 5 successful"

"team 6 needs assistance. fighting off 3 rogues alone while trying to extract 6 teenagers!"

"stand strong warrior! We will be there soon!" I gave control back to Katara as we sprinted to the west side of the lands. She slid under the first rogue slicing his abdomen from the groin to the collar bone causing his blood to pour onto her. Glancing around there was only one rogue left standing. When he caught sight of what Katara had done he turned and ran for his life, but he couldnt escape before Katara was on his back slicing her claws into the rogues neck. As he dropped to the ground Katara pulled up forcing his head to roll off.

I took back control and shifted as we climbed off the rogues back. Surveying the area I could see rogue and pack wolves bodies lying everywhere. Katara smelt the teens and a couple pack members a few feet away behind the school. We rounded the corner and the sight shocked me. Every pack member was on a knee and baring their necks in submission to us even the teens.

"Alpha we are forever grateful to you" The oldest girl said I believe her name is Autumn.

"Thank you Autumn, but this isn't over. We must get to the pack house quickly. I will take the lead with the warriors following the last child. If anything happens please get to the pack house quickly."

"Yes Alpha!" responded the wolves
