Chapter 70: To the Rescue

*Micah*

The bodies of our enemies lay everywhere as my troops assemble after the battle. We’ve killed so many of the Dark Eclipse wolves that came after us, and the others have scattered back into the trees, likely headed for home.

I survey my people, back in my human form, wearing a pair of shorts from our broken transport vehicle. “You all fought so hard today.” My eyes flicker across each of their faces. “They always say that Dark Eclipse has the strongest forces of any pack, but that’s not what I witnessed today. Now, let’s head back toward home and hope we don’t have to fight again for a while.”

“Yes, Alpha!” they say all at once. A few of them have some wounds, a couple of them pretty severe, but we don’t have any choice but to get out of here, so some of my warriors stay in their human form and grab stretchers from the back of the vehicle to carry the wounded back to our village.
