Diverted for war
Asher felt a bad feeling within him.
As he and the rest of his pack marched to subdue the enemy, they were on their guard, even though they knew it would take some time to get to their destination.
“You can never be too careful when it comes to the Hunters” Asher thought.
Still, even though they were making very good progress, and it was clear they held the advantage, the gnawing feeling of uneasiness kept at him. Was he missing something? He couldn’t have. He had taken care of everything, his plan was perfect and his strategy had never failed him before, so why… Why did he feel like he had it all wrong?
Suddenly a sharp pain pierced his heart. Asher groaned as he ceased his match and pressed his hands tightly on his chest. What was happening to him?
It was nothing physical, and he wasn’t hurt in any way. Clearly, he was unharmed, yet the pain kept persisting. His heart began to race at an uncontrollable pace and his instincts went haywire. He couldn’t sense any danger for miles, so he was sure it wasn’t a threat to him. His eyes bulged at the realisation.
The reason for his uneasiness, why everything seemed so easy and they were so obviously the winners. What if it was all not real?
“They're not here…?” Asher muttered.
“What was that?” Dax said, noticing Asher's pained look.
Quickly, Damien and Dax rushed to Asher's side and the rest of the pack went on high alert, looking everywhere for signs of assault, but their senses felt nothing of the kind.
Asher quickly turned behind him and looked as far as he could. He could definitely sense more presence from the direction of the village than the direction they were headed.
Everything started to add up within his head, and within moments he made sense of the situation. They had been tricked… There were no werewolf Hunters in the direction they were going… It was all wrong.
“How did this happen? Was it the information? Did they intentionally set this up, or did it come from…” Asher thought as he looked at all his subordinates who gave him curious stares.
"No, Asher, calm down. How dare you suspect your own kind. They wouldn't do such a thing… What werewolf would betray his people like this?"
