Kapitel 22: Chapter 22

　　Alpha Ryker

　　We enter Shady Crest territory, right on nightfall; Vanessa and Alice, who are cuffed and chained, walk in front of Kane while Leon leads the pack warriors. Alpha Zenith's warriors are all spread out, making them easy targets. Our arrival must have sounded an alarm; they retreat back toward the pack house.

　　‘Alpha Zenith knows we’re here,’ I yell out. Seth is mind-linking me: Alpha! They know you're here!

　　Good!  I say.

　　Shit! Seth says.

　　What is it? I ask.

　　It's Astrid! You need to hurry! She’s shifting! Seth says.

　　Shit! Tell Astrid I'm coming for her; I will be with her as soon as I can. I say.

　　‘Leon, Kane, we need to move faster! Astrid is shifting!’ They nod and Leon and I shift into our wolves; Kane supervises Alice and Vanessa in his human form.

　　‘We will be right behind you Alpha!’ Kane yells out.
