Badru
The warriors that had done their best to keep up, pounded their way to us just as Astennu and I shifted. I hated to admit defeat, especially where my mate’s safety was concerned. But, on this occasion, we had lost… we had lost big time and I couldn’t feel any more like a failure as I did.
Nine wolves trotted up to us in total, solemnly awaiting instruction.
‘We’re being called back, so we need to leave this to you. Split up into two parties,’ I raised my head to each of them in turn. ‘And follow the roads as far as you can without putting yourselves in danger. Stop any vehicle you catch up to, no matter what.’
‘And on your way back, only one of you should drive the abandoned pack vehicle to return it,’ my brother added. ‘We need to preserve as much evidence as possible.’
