Bab 64: Chapter 59: Meeting up with the Cesaro Pack

Omorose smiled seductively as she leaned forward in her seat, looking at the stern-looking young shifter in the driver seat. The young shifter was driving with Dewei sitting at the front passenger seat.

It was a sunny day and the three shifters were headed towards the direction of the Port Robston Bay, where they will be meeting up with the Cesaro Pack. Although they won't go directly into the town, rather they will meet up somewhere nearby since the forest was located near the town.

Feeling bored, sitting alone at the backseat, Omorose playfully poke the young shifter on the cheek. "Why so serious, young pup? Come and entertain this young lady," she said teasingly.

Hamish kept his eyes on the road, his hands on the steering wheel and said, "My apologies, Elder Omorose. I'm driving at the moment. Please sit down carefully and put on your seat belt."

Omorose pouted. This little pup was so strict. With his glasses, he acted just like those old grandpas with no sense of humour. She sighed. Why does the kids these days have no sense of humour?

Dewei tried to hide his laughter which turned into a snort.

Narrowing her eyes in suspicion, she turned to Dewei. He sat in a relaxed manner with his right ankle on top of his left knee. He was playing an online game on his phone and once in a while, he would laugh and mumble to himself, "What a noob." She wasn't sure whether he was laughing at her or at the game. Or probably both of them.

Omorose sat back on her seat with a sigh again. Why did the Alpha chose these two in her team? One was boring with a strict attitude. He doesn't seem to joke around and is rigid like a tight rubber band. And the other was like an immature child. Although he was a smart one but he does seem like a nerd, who does nothing but play games and god knows what else.

She sighed again, her chin on her palm. She wished Reginald was with her. Even if he was a grumpy old man who likes to growl here and there, at least, he was a fun one to tease. She loves to see his reactions whenever she tease or flirt with him. And he was one sexy beast too, Omorose thought hungrily.

A couple of hours later, they finally arrived at their destination. It was a forest, a few kilometres away from Port Robston Bay. Although it was one of those dense forests it does not look eerie nor creepy like the Kraken Forest. It doesn't look like it was a huge forest, either.

In front of the forest, there were a couple of cars parked nearby. And they could see people standing outside of the cars, talking with one another. It looked as if they were waiting for someone.

Once Hamish had parked near them, the people turned to look over at them.

Hamish could see a familiar face among them. It was Bastian Cesaro. He was standing among the people there and it seems like he will be joining the mission.

Getting out of the car, Omorose stood in front of Dewei and Hamish and introduced herself. "I'm Elder Omorose from the Kendall Pack. This is Dewei, the pack's researcher and Hamish, one of our young shifters," she said, gesturing to the two men behind her.

One of them walked out of the group and gave a small head bow. He then smiled at Omorose and said, "Omorose, it has been a long time. How have you been?"

Omorose raised her eyebrows and greeted back, "Paxon, it has been awhile."

Paxon looked like a man who was in his mid thirties. But with a werewolf's gene, he might probably be older than his looks. He has a dark sleek brown hair with a cleft chin and a nice smile. He was one of the tallest men in the group with broad shoulders and muscles. He looked like an easygoing guy with that carefree attitude he was showing and the easy smiles he gave.

Dewei leaned closer to Hamish and whispered, "That's Paxon. He used to be one of Omorose's lovey dovey before she met her mate. Looks like these two are about to rekindle their flames."

Ignoring the glares from both Omorose and Paxon, Dewei continued to talk about the two until Omorose had enough and shouted enough! Paxon just shook his head in resignation. While it was true that he used to have a sexual relationship with Omorose before she found her mate, but now he has found his. And he definitely would not 'rekindle their flames' as Dewei has implied.

Dewei stopped and started to whistle, pretending that he did not know anything while Hamish just stood there with his poker face, as if he has nothing to do with Dewei's talks.

Bastian walked over and gave a fist bump at Hamish. "Yo, brother. Long time no see. Where's the snivelling pup? He's not coming?" he asked, looking around to find that certain someone.

Knowing who he refers to, Hamish answered, "He has another mission."

Bastian groaned with regret. "Aww, dang! That's too bad. I was hoping that we could have a match and battle with our wolves."

Hamish just kept quiet.

Bastian then placed his arm around Hamish's shoulder and teased, "Still the stiff one, aren't you? Lighten up, bro! We're going on an adventure!"

Hamish inwardly rolled his eyes. This guy really was similar to another annoying guy that he knows.

Paxon then gestured the other pack mates from the Cesaro Pack to join them. Altogether, there were five of them, including Paxon and Bastian.

He then introduced them; West, Kirk and Fraser. The three of them bowed in respect. They looked a bit younger than Paxon but older than Bastian. Despite their easygoing manners, the aura that the shifters from the Cesaro Pack were immensely strong. And this includes Bastian. It seems like they too had been working and training with their wolf counterparts these past few days.

Once the introduction was over, Paxton began to talk about the mission. He explained that they, too, have recently seen rogue activities in the area. And even though the forest was a part of their territories, it wasn't a territory where one can easily go into. They used to do their training there but never again. This was because their wolf counterparts would get agitated when they come near the forest. Since then, they decided to stop their training and moved to another place.

However, since there had been an increasing reports of rogue activities found there, they knew that they could not leave the forest alone. And after much discussion between the two Alphas of the Kendall and the Cesaro packs, they decided to work together. They would need to investigate the forest and find out what the rogues were up to.

The Cesaro pack was also worried that the rogues might have makes use of the forest as one of their hideouts. And before trouble occurs, it was better to cut off the trouble in the bud first before it grows.

Unlike the Kraken Forest, this forest was something familiar to the Cesaro Pack. And since Paxon had once trained there before, he knew the area like the back of his hand. Hence why he was chosen as the team leader for the Cesaro group. Omorose actually had trained there before but not as much as Paxon had. So, she was not confident with her memory of the forest.

Paxon handed Omorose a map of the forest, who then passed it to Dewei to take a look. Hoisting up his backpack, Dewei quietly studied the map before handing back to Paxon.

The latter then explained that they will head over to the possible areas that the rogues might have stayed and adviced them to take caution.

Although the rogues might probably be inside, Paxon also told them to not go shift first because it may alarmed the rogues. It would be better to stay in their human form unless necessary.

They all then began their preparations before heading inside the forest.
