"Take the bag underneath the bed. Make sure that there won't be any mistakes." He said without looking at me. I brushed his cold behaviour towards me since his moods are most of the time unpredictable. I immediately got up from the bed and took a peek below, and saw a bag. I got off the bed and pulled the bag towards me, and carried it, leaving him in the school clinic. I eyed the front, and there weren't any students nor teachers. They must've been busy since it's already class hours. I took the stairs and not the elevator while carrying the heavy bag. It wouldn't be good to be caught. I ran towards the south of the school. The west of the school has the Moon Crescent Pack, while the south is our territory. I climbed up the nearest Jackfruit tree beside the street, and I made sure that I would be covered by the branches. I took the route of the most isolated place in the south. From what I remember from Khaleed's words, there is a route here that is known only by the Alpha and elders of the pack and a secret organization. I checked the time, it's already two in the afternoon, thirty minutes to get here from the school. This is considerably faster than what I expected. I gritted my teeth to endure the itch. It's crucial for me not to move from where I'm currently standing so as to not be noticed. I cut a huge jackfruit from the tree. Bearing the heavy weight of it, I waited patiently while stepping on its branches. A few minutes passed by, and there was a huge truck carrying a container passing by. I readied myself and jumped on the roof of the truck as soon as it got near to the tree where I'm at. I let go of the fruit and had to roll my body to brace for the impact, but I wasn't able to control my body and almost fell from the roof. I gripped tightly on the rope to prevent myself from falling. The truck halted on the side of the road, and the doors on the front were open. There was a clicking sound of the gun together with the feet stepping on the ground, "Go check the roof!" A man said with a husky voice. A man was climbing on the rail beside the container and checked the roof. "Drat! There's only a jackfruit here." I gritted my teeth and gripped tightly the rope on the entrance of the container. There was a loud thud on the ground, and the person who checked on the roof must have jumped down from the rail. I had to climb up fast without making any noises to avoid being noticed. I climbed up on top of the container and lay flat on the surface to avoid getting caught. "Nothing here as well." They might have checked the bottom of the truck to see if there were any people hiding there. The entrance of the container was opened. There were cries of children coming out of it. I gritted my teeth with abomination. What are they planning with these kids? They began counting the kids as if the kids were just sheeps. "It's complete and not a single one added or missing." The two talked while with their backs behind us. I sneaked in before he could close the container's door and laid flat on top of a huge box made of wood. There's were three huge boxes piled up "Let's go! We're going to be late at this rate." The other guy grunted while walking towards the driver's seat. I put a small bluetooth camera on the top part of the door of the container and one on the side as well. I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I got in. I smell a lot of stench inside this container and a lot of cries coming from what appears to be kids that are imprisoned on these boxes made of narra tree. Their clothes were dirty and their hair were dishevelled. The youngest among them seems to be only two years old while the oldest were nine years old. I felt a sense of crisis and my heartache towards these kids who were being kidn*pped. They are skin and bones, and their eyes are hallowed, their lips chapped from thirst and their stomachs grumbling from hunger. So young and yet already suffered from the hands of these heartless people. I wiped my tears from before it fell. I pursed my lips and put a small camera on the top of the box and on the sides as well. These kids don't seem to be werewolves. I wonder what they are going to do with these kids. However, that won't stop me from helping. I took out several buns and dried meat and water from my backpack. I broke it into several pieces and handed them one by one. I also took out boiled eggs. There were at least seventy kids here. "Line up while seating and pass on the message, I will give you some food." I said to the nearest person to me whose eyes still had some clarity. His eyes lit up and pass on the message towards the person on his left, and the other person also passed on the message. Everyone moved in an orderly passion. The others were carrying the youngest children with them, and I passed through them one by one while handing them a bottle of water, three buns, and two dried meats and one egg. All of these items were in plastic "Let's keep this for later so you won't get hungry, okay?' A kid who appears to be seven years old whispered to his little brother and put the plastic on the little brother's jacket. While he kept his on his own jacket. "Are we still going to be hungry later?" The small voice of a child lingered on my ears. The older one glanced at my way and immediately avoided my eyes once I caught him staring. He eyed his little brother whose already skin and bones, "We won't starve for the next day, and even if we do, brother will still look for a way to get food, okay?" he patted the little brother's head in assurance. the other kids even halved their own bread to share with their youngest siblings and saved the other foods for later since they don't know when they will be able to get food again. My heart warmed up at the scene and, at the same time, ached for them but also glad that they were able to eat something tonight. They were full already after eating one steamed bun I handed them, as the three buns were palm sized and packed with nutrients. There are seventy of them, including the toddlers, and it is quite strange how I seem to be able to feed them all. I looked at the unzipped bag strangely. After putting the cameras on, I changed my clothes into ragged and dirty ones just like these kids' clothes. I also smeared my face with charcoal that I got from the bag and hid myself at the most back to make sure that I won't be noticed as I am the tallest among them. The road was bumpy, and the ride made one butt's ache. I gritted my teeth to endure the ride. If I can endure the beating, I might as well endure the beating on my ass. After a full thirty minutes ride, the truck halted, and the doors were opened. "Here are the goods." The bald guy said while puffing out a smoke. There were farmiliar stand fires at the back of the bald guy, and there were also two others who were driving with him. The trees were also familiar as there could only be one pine tree. My heart races as soon as I see someone's hands a and feet walking towards the truck. His silhouette and face are so familiar that she would tremble every time I see him. My mouth gaped Alpha?
