Chapter 37
However, just then, the Howl signaled the start of the moonlit hunt.
As both packs‘ scouts took flight, a surge of excited howls erupted from the assembled Silvermoon pack.
My wolf stirred, restless energy prickling my fur.
Standing at the pack’s command stone, Jared focused intently on the aerial battle.
His wolf, a powerful alpha, radiated determination to prove their victory didn’t depend on me.
“Flank from the left, go straight in!” he commanded, his voice ringing with authority.
His scent, sharp and musky, carried on the night air.
The scout traced an arc, charging toward the opposing pack’s formation.
My own wolf felt a strange mix of pride and something akin to jealousy.
I sat amongst the onlookers, my eyes glued to the unfolding conflict.
—
I noticed Emily’s scout; its luminescent markings flickered dimly low on power.
My inner wolf chuckled.
But no one seemed to notice.
I smirked, a silent growl rumbling in my chest, mimicking a fatal blow, “Boom.”
My wolf’s amusement was palpable.
The she–wolf beside me turned to me.
“Emily, watch your scout!” Caleb called out from behind.
But Emily was distracted, lost in thoughts of impressing Jared.
Her wolf, clearly inexperienced, lacked the necessary focus.
“Boom!” A loud crash echoed as Emily’s scout plummeted, entangled in the protective brambles at the arena’s edge. Gasps filled the air.
She frantically tried to free it, her frantic movements betraying her panic.
Her wolf whimpered, its scent laced with fear.
“Jared…” her voice cracked.
Her wolf’s scent was overwhelmingly submissive.
Jared, sensing her distress, sighed, his wolf’s alpha scent momentarily wavering.
His scout veered towards the brambles.

“Jared, don’t save her!” Caleb yelled.
His wolf’s warning was sharp and clear in its intensity.
But it was too late; the opponent’s scouts, anticipating this, swiftly encircled Jared’s.
Their movements were precise, a clear testament to their knowledge of his tactics, leaving no escape.
My wolf felt a thrill of anticipation.

I watched the unfolding chaos, memories of my past life–where Emily had similarly crashed–flashing before my
eyes.
Back then, I’d intervened, taking control and turning the tide of the hunt.
My wolf remembered the power, the strength, the thrill of the victory.
Now, Jared was trapped, his teammates faltering, one by one.
Their scents were weakening, laced with panic.
“What’s wrong with Jared’s pack?” the commentator’s voice was filled with confusion.
Their coordination is completely falling apart.”
Lucy, her wolf instinctively sensing the doom, covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.
Her wolf’s scent was sharp with apprehension.
“They’re done.”
I remained calm, watching Emily’s struggles, a subtle smile playing on my lips.
Her scout remained entangled, its waning power soon to be apparent.
My wolf’s confidence surged.
