The hunters have chosen to attack us near our three borders, so we have an hour's run to get to them. The
sprites had alerted our patrols and they are the ones that sent the mind link. We've chosen to stay quiet so the
hunters don’t know we’ve seen them. This will help to keep our patrol wolves safe, knowing the hunters won't

“I'm right behind you.” She tells me.
When my pack arrives, we see Rik’s pack is already there and Liam's is coming in right behind us. Cara and

As one, Cara, Angel, Liam, Rik and | turn our heads at what sounds like an army coming through the forest. | lift

“Grace?”
Grace opens the mind link to her sisters, their mates and me. “I'm nearly there. I've counted 5002 hunters. That
puts us at nearly 1:5 raof werewolves to hunters.” She says and she sounds like she’s breathing heavily.
She's right, we only have about 1000 wolves in fighting condition with the baby booms we've been having in our
packs. Five to one are not good odds. A strong warrior can take that many, but our weaker warriors can’t. Unless
we can take them out quickly, we're going to have a hard time
winning this battle today.
“We need to spread out. We need to flank them. We can’t go head-to-head with that many hunters.” Liam says.
“My pack will stay front and center, you both take your packs and flank them on either side. Hopefully we can
take out a bunch with a surprise attack.” Rik says..
“We'll stay here and wait for Grace.” Cara and Angel say.
“Our pack will need the most protection up front anyway.” Cara adds.

We get into position, effectively circling them and nearly connecting with Liam’s pack on the other
side. We have them surrounded. This is our best chance for attack.
The moment Kai, Rik’s wolf's, howl goes up, we attack. In the moment it takes for the hunters to
realize that we have surrounded them, we are able to take down hundreds of them. As soon as they realize it
though, they shift and turn their attention to attacking us.
