Standing in front of his army, Kieran looked up at the sky. It was early in the evening. The weather was cool and peaceful with a gentle breeze sweeping around the woods where they mounted. It was a full moon tonight, the best time for war. No one knew what to expect but was ready for whatever they were gonna encounter. Kieran took in the peaceful atmosphere for the last time and then brought his gaze to his army and the Black Lotus.
"We are going to split into five groups, each group will be led by each member of the Black Lotus. The plan is simple and basic....we attack from all sides. Of course they'll be expecting us to do that and that's exactly what we'll give them. So now break up into five groups under each of us" He instructed.
Tessa walked over to where Kieran was standing as the wolves began splitting into groups. "Where is Freya? I haven't seen her since we left the cabin. Won't she be fighting with us?" She asked.
"Of course she will. Don't worry about her. You'll be going with Silas" He said softly to her.
"Wait what? I thought I'll be going with you? I want to go with you, I don't want to part with you" She said with pleading eyes.
"We are not parting, just taking different routes for now" He said, trying to convince her. "We'll meet again soon"
"Fine. Just stay safe and live for me" She hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go.
He cleared his throat feeling a little shy doing that in front of his army. As soon as she broke the hug, he turned to Adan, nodded at him before putting on his mask. "Alright then..." He walked over to his group. "Let's go!" He ordered and each member took their group and split off, heading to different directions with the aim of circling the enemy.

Alpha Maynard and the other Alphas stood in front of their army, staring into the distance as though waiting for a signal. He looked up at the sky and the sun was quickly going down. "How much more time should we spend waiting?" Cassie asked, feeling impatient.
"A little bit more" Alpha Maynard replied.
They fell into silence again safe for the little murmurs coming from the army. Few more minutes of waiting, they heard loud footsteps approaching and a few seconds later the intruder was visible. As the Beta got to where they stood, he bowed slightly and then made his report. "It's as expected Alpha, they split up in hopes of surrounding us"
"Good" He nodded and then turned to his people. "We all know what to do! The war starts now. Advance to your positions following your assigned Alpha's lead!" He ordered and the howled in response before breaking off and following their assigned Alpha's lead.
(Two Hours Later)
Leading his men through the quiet woods, Alpha Zamir tried to clear his mind and focus on his battle ahead. He had waited almost all his life for that day and it was finally here. He was finally going to get his revenge and pay them back for what they did to his family and clan. This was it for him, nothing else mattered. What happens after the war was not of concern to him. The war is where his purpose ends.
Not hoping to make it out alive, he had nothing to lose but peace to gain. He adjusted his mask and then came to an immediate halt, signalling his men to stop also. They looked ahead, wondering what he saw but they couldn't see anything themselves. "They are here" He announced, taking off his hood.
Few seconds after he made the statement, they saw a vast number of wolves appearing and coming into view. As they also spotted Alpha Zamir and his men, they came to a halt also. Their leading Alphas, Alpha Cassie and Derek, stepped forward, their eyes fixed on the Black Lotus member who was obviously the army's leader. "This is where we hold them!" Derek announced loudly and immediately their men began to shift into their wolf forms.
Alpha Zamir, turned to his men and announced. "We will end them here"
They growled loudly also in response, ripping off their clothes and began shifting into their wolf forms also. Within a minute, every wolf present in the battle ground except the Alphas were standing in their wolf forms, howling and growling angrily, waiting for their Alpha's signal to attack.
"Hmmm" Zamir inhaled softly, shutting his eyes. 'This is it' He thought. He opened his eyes when he began hearing heavy footsteps. Alpha Derek and Cassie were leading their wolves toward them already. He waited a few more seconds before he slowly raised up his hands, giving his signal. Seeing this, his wolves ran past him angrily, making their way to their enemies.
