Female Novel
Chapter 147
Watch & Wait.
(Patrick)
‘James?’ Using our Pack mind link I try to contact James as I walk around the edge of the fencing.
Each time I do my rounds I try to speak to James in the hopes I will get in range, so far I’ve had no
luck. The community itself is set about five miles from the fence so they haven’t spotted us yet. For a
human it would be impossible to hear anything that is happening but for us shifters, well we can hear
them as well as if they were standing next to us.
‘Boss, you might want to make your way to the West side, somethings happening.’ One of my warriors
says over our Pack link, I quickly turn around and carefully make my way back the way I came. We
don’t speak while we are out here, we figured using our link is the best way so we only send warriors
from the same Packs. It makes it a little tougher for me when I’m the only Swiftmane but I make do.
‘What’s happening? I ask as I walk up next to two of my warriors, both young lads at around twenty five
years old, both are perfectly capable at handling themselves.
“There, through the houses, do you see?’ I don’t answer as I let my wolf forward so I can use his
eyesight, there in between the two houses there seems to be a gathering of around twenty or so young
adults, perhaps even teenagers. All of them are dressed in either beige dresses or beige pants and
shirts, they all have their heads cast down as a man in a suit pulls one of the boys onto a raised
platform. novelbin
“Look at me,” the man commands in a booming voice, whatever ist happening he’s clearly pis sed.
“This male thought he would help at female escape, now we are a womb short. All of you know that all
incubators are valued, all are needed.” He grabs the boy by the back of his neck and forces him to look
at the crowd. “Dean was the fourth son provided by the Swedish Packs and today he will be the first to
show you how we deal with treachery “He pushes the boy to has knees and a blade appears in his
hand as if from nowhere. It’s a long blade that seems to shine in the moonlight. The people watching
haven’t moved or said a word the whole ume he speaks. “you are all shifters Each one of you is lower
than din, worthless to the human world and the makers of the great deceivers of men. You were born to
serve us, to fight for us.” I start to get angry as the man lifts the boy’s head by his hair and holds the
blade to his throat “You rise above us and we will cut you down, we will always fight harder, we will
always be stronger” The man moves his hand and when I can see the boy again he has a river of blood
flowing down his throat, he seems to gasp and try to grab his
(pand neck before falling forward, again no one makes a sound or a move to try to help the boy “Never
forget your place, now go to your masters. We leave this camp in one week, anyone not pulling their
weight will meet the same fate as this traitor.” He kicks the boy’s body as he walks off the platform. I’m
lost for words, I don’t understand how all those shifters have just stood there and watched one of their
own be killed.

Once the young people start to disperse in different directions I call my wolf back and head back to
where we are camped. I can feel the two warriors at my back, my mind is swirling with information so I
stay silent as I try to process it
“Why didn’t they fight back?” Sam, one of my younger warriors asks, he sounds just as pis sed as I
feel.
“Didn’t you hear him? He has them thinking they’re useless, I doubt any of them know their true power.”
Jack the other warrior says as we
reach the camp.
“If they are anything like Eva they were taken as pups and have been raised to hate everything we are,
they are. We need to pack up and
head back, Sam, Jack, you two stay here and watch for movement. If they are moving we need to
strike soon.” Both of them nod as they head off to tell the other ten wolves currently around the
perimeter. Looking at my phone I see it’s live in the morning. I guess I can try getting a few hours
before hitting the road.
By six I give up on sleep and pull myself from my tent to see the other ten warriors all packed up and
ready to go. I don’t speak to any of them as I make quick work of my gear and then start off towards the
cars. We parked them about twenty miles from the compound just to be safe, it’s a decent walk to get
to them but so far it’s worked well for us. We have a few cars with us and because I haven’t left since I
got here it means I have no one else in my car so for the first time in a while I’m actually going to have
some peace and quiet.
Once I hit the highway I dial Eliza’s number but it goes straight to voicemail. the same happens with
Fraction so I try Anna while I squash the concern rising in my stomach.
“Patrick?” Anna’s gentle voice sounds through my speakers.
“I tried to call Eliza but it went to voicemail.” I say without offering a greeting. “I’m on my way home and
I wanted to tell her.”
“She’s in a meeting with Fraction, I think they are going over possible. plans from all the stuff the guys
have gathered.” I sigh as Anna says something to Thomas about a cookie.
“Can you take me to them? I have information that can’t wait.” If they are planning then they need to
know about last night and their plan to move. I hear some rustling and then a door being opened.
“Your on speaker Rick, it’s me and Eliza here.” Fraction tells me, hist voice sounds like he hasn’t slept,
the poor man must be losing his mind with all the stress.
Watch & Wart
“We had a development last night, some guy killed one of the shifters.” I hear Fraction curse as his
chair creaks. “it was a warning. I’ll give all the money in my account to bet it was the one who helped
Eva escape. That’s not all though.”
“There’s more than a dead shifter kid?” Fraction asks me.
“They know Eva is missing which means they know we know where they are.” I tell Fraction knowing
he will understand.
“When are they moving?” Fraction asks quickly as he rustles some paper. I assume to write something
down.
“He said one week.” I check my mirrors and see the warriors are still following me in their cars so I put
my foot down to gain more speed.
“Then we have to make a move soon, moving could work well for us: If they move it means they have
to move the prisoners. When will you be back?” I’m nodding my head before I remember Fraction can’t
see me.
“I agree it could work in our favour, I’m about an hour out. I’m bringing everyone back but Sam and
Jack, they’ll call if anything changes.” Fraction disconnects the call which I take to mean to get there
faster so I put my foot down and break every speed limit known
to man.
