Cheyenne took the paper and read. Her lips parted slightly as she observed the words. She looked up and faced Azrael but by then the latter had disappeared.
Cheyenne looked around to ensure she was not being spied on and she unleashed her claws in a mini- werewolf- transformation involving only her right hand, she then shredded the paper by striking through the paper with her claws multiple times.
She gathered the shredded pieces and placed them in the pocket of her nurse uniform's skirt to be later burnt when she has the chance.
Azrael moved furtively and quickly as much as he could, while he paid extra attention to the whereabouts of Alpha James Paterson and his beta.
The entire area was silent. Most of the pack members were still in bed.
Azrael kept running and trying his best to be as quiet as possible, and after a while, he was able to make out a group of werewolves at a distance.
He deduced that that should be them (Alpha James' group).
He ran closer, but he suddenly stopped.
The scent he was perceiving was that of his lover. He sniffed carefully to be sure he wasn't making it up or that his senses weren't deceiving him.
"This scent is the scent of my lover..." Azrael confirmed it as he sniffed again.
This time, he was on high alert. "Did Alpha James already capture my lover and bring her here? But, his beta was just with me a few minutes ago telling me to get dressed, or was that all a ploy of some sort..." Azrael was thinking deeply and out loud.
He was confused and at the same time, he had so many questions that needed answers.
He looked in the direction from where he sniffed Alex, it was then that he saw Alpha Zuck and his army of werewolves armed to the teeth, they decided to make the first move and had come to fight.
They were here in hundreds, covering every corner like soldier ants. Azrael could smell trouble, this was going to be a bloated war, loaded with so many talking points.
This was the night that Alpha James had chosen to attack Alpha Zuck's park and capture the Kannais, but as things are turning out, it is the other way around.
Alpha James is the one being attacked before he could even make the move and the Kannais plus about 400 werewolf soldiers accompanied Alpha Zuck to this battle.
Alex was walking side by side with the Alpha. She had an emotionless expression as she appeared in the line of sight of Azrael.
Azrael turned back and ran back in the same direction from whence he came. He ran back to his room and began to search for any phone he could use to make a call.
He found a burner phone stashed somewhere. He quickly picked it up and searched through the data on the phone.
There were no phone numbers on it. He reached into his pocket to see if he had any papers on him but none was available.
He rushed out and started heading toward the infirmary.
He wanted to meet Cheyenne and tell her about what was going on and also collect the phone number of Alpha James to warn him.
"How did they track us here?" Azrael wondered.
He sped like a cannonball and burst through the front door of the clinic.
Everyone present was startled.
"Sorry," He said sharply and continued his search for Cheyenne without batting an eyelid at anyone especially those who complained and still felt offended by his recent burst in.
"Cheyenne, Cheyenne..." He shouted, searching frantically for her.
"Shhhhhhhh, Silence..." One of the roaming doctors couldn't take Azrael's disturbance anymore. He had to confront him head-on, putting a finger on his lips, pantomiming an instruction for Azrael to be quiet.
Azrael didn't even bother with the doctor, he just continued his search.
Azrael then finally entered a room and found Cheyenne wearing a nose mask and white hand gloves, and she was preparing to leave.
She was startled by Azrael's burst in and looked in his direction. "Azrael... "
Before she could speak further, Azrael moved towards her.
"Cheyenne, I need to call the Alpha, you remember the letter I wrote to you, the enemy is around and my lover is with them."
Cheyenne was startled. There was too much information to process.
Cheyenne brought out her phone shakingly and gave it to Azrael. "His number is on speed dial..."
Azrael got the phone and followed instructions of Cheyenne.
In a short while, the phone of Alpha James was connected to via a call.
~Grrrrrrnnnnnnnn~ It rang out.
"Cheyenne, you've not called me since we last..."
before the Alpha could reveal their secret, Cheyenne had to speak fast.
"Alpha Zuck is here with an army, they also brought along the Kannais. Azrael is with me, he found out and came to inform me..." Cheyenne spoke hastily on the phone in a panicky tone.
"Whaaaatttttt!" Alpha James roared. He then hung up the phone immediately.
A few minutes later, a loud alarm was heard. With flashing red lights to serve as warning lights.
The siren alarm vibrated throughout the entire camp.
It got everyone in a frenzied state.
It was the beginning of the war, the war of wolves.
Roars and shouts could be heard coming from every part of the area.
At the entrance of the Alpha James' werewolf community residential area, Alpha Zuck and his band of about four hundred werewolves had gathered with the Kannais in front beside the Alpha.
"It seems they've noticed our presence... Things are about to get interesting" Alpha Zuck said with a smile as he walked leisurely with his soldiers behind him.
Alex remained silent. She could feel faintly a heartbeat that she was familiar with. It was the only heartbeat she could feel, the heartbeat of her lover.
Anytime he was in range or if she felt a strong emotional pull, she would feel his heartbeat. This made her happy at least that her lover, Azrael Herrington was still alive and well.
