Chapter 427 Visiting the Shaman (1)

Their goals were to deliver clothes, convince Gideon to perform the ceremony before the pack run, and Talia wanted to ask if he has any tips on how she could shift into her wolf form. She actually hoped that Shaman can perform a ritual, create a magic potion, or provide a step-by-step guide that will allow her to shift.

However, when Damon and Talia disclosed their plan to visit the Shaman, they realized that others wanted to tag along also, so their group of two expanded to six.

Kalina wanted to check on Mindy, and she was curious about the Shaman. Tony had no intention of letting Kalina wander without him. He was supposed to train with Nate, Paul, and Greg, but after last night's event where Elders got disturbed by the news that Damon found his Luna, Tony was not at ease without Kalina in his visual range.

When Maddox heard where Damon was going, he wanted to see his sister, and Tatiana was happy to get out for some fresh air. Tatiana thought about this as a nature walk with her mate, romantic maybe. She also prepared a gift for Mindy and Gideon, a jewelry set. It's a human custom, and since Mindy is Tatiana's sister-in-law, Tatiana didn't want to go there empty-handed.

Maya and Caden were also curious to see Mindy with the Shaman, but there were a million things to do now that the threat of an attack from the Red Moon pack was real, so the two of them decided to focus on that. Their patrols were doubled, and the whole pack was on raised alert. All electronic communication was monitored and filtered, and anyone leaving or coming into their territory had to pass security checks. Damon was glad that they practiced these things often, so everything ran smoothly, for now.

As soon as the four teenagers finished with breakfast, James went with Petra, Erik, and Zack to have fun in the human city.

James was well aware of the situation and when his father called him to hear what's new, James responded that since he arrived in the Dark Howlers pack, he spent most of his time training with George and other high-ranking warriors from Damon's pack, and he would see Marcy over breakfast and dinner. That was James' routine at home also, so it was not suspicious. Alpha Edward grunted in approval and ended the call when James started talking about youth programs, but James knew that was not a courtesy call. His father never makes courtesy calls.

Alpha Edward was probing to see what was going on, but he didn't want to reveal that he heard disturbing news from his spies and how after that communication died.

That was all part of James' plan. That was the first part of his plan which he called: Confusion.

First, the fact that Damon declared another woman as his Luna while Marcy was visiting, was so outrageous that his father will want to triple-check if it actually happened. Yes, Alpha Edward was eager to make his move on the Dark Howlers pack, but he would want to know all the facts so that he can twist them to fit his own narrative.

Second, James told Damon to kill off the ongoing communication from the pack, so that his father can't get anything beyond what initial spies sent him.

Third, James agreed that George should send in his report exactly what happened without mentioning Marcy. Next, George needed to shut down his phone with an excuse that they (James included) are going to train off the grid for the day.

With that, even though Alpha Edward heard what happened last night, he had no way to confirm it.

Alpha Edward was somewhat paranoid and just a speck of doubt was needed for Alpha Edward to hold off with starting his campaign against the Dark Howlers pack.

Based on James' estimate, this situation will buy them some time, at least a day. When Marcy wakes up and agrees to collaborate, they will move on to the next stage, and until then, James was determined to make the most of his time. Playing.

The packhouse was suddenly quiet with only Dawn and George staying in their room.

George promised to tell Dawn about the Red Moon pack, and he was planning to talk about the Alpha aura as well.

Based on Dawn's timid behavior during breakfast, George concluded that his adorable mate still didn't understand what it means to be marked by him as she carried herself as an Omega. Even without a pack, he was still an Alpha, and Dawn didn't think about the detail of having the Alpha gene in her system. She was humble and delectable, looking at people around her with big eyes full of wonder, and George loved her more for that.

Dawn and George had so much to talk about, and George feared it will be challenging because just thinking about the two of them alone in the room made him hard. He was never this... horny.

After the car ride, our group of six moved to cross the last stretch on foot.

Talia, Kalina, and Tatiana walked in front and chattered in a good mood. Talia took the lead with her phone in hand to sneak a peek at the map so that she stays on the right path and Damon doesn't need to intervene.

Occasionally, Talia would turn to look back where Damon was with Maddox and Tony, and she would always meet Damon's icy-blue eyes that were burning her skin. She knew that gaze; trained on her, hungry, eager… and she felt butterflies in her stomach at the thought of what they will do that night. Marking. She said yes, and she meant it.

Once his mark is on her neck, a lot of problems will disappear. At least that's what she hoped for.

Maddox walked between Damon and Tony and carried the suitcase with Mindy's stuff. He was still wrapping his head around the fact that his sassy sister was mated. And to a Shaman!

How the heck is that going to work out? Mindy is all about travel, technology, trendy stuff, while Shaman is an old dude probably living in a cave of some sort that's decorated with skulls of small animals and smells of dried roots.

Maddox was in such a shock, that he didn't even call home to inform their parents.

And why the hell were they walking so much? "How far is it?", Maddox grumbled.

Damon peeled his eyes off Talia and glanced into the distance beyond her. He did some mental calculations before responding, "About five to ten minutes." It would be faster if they shifted in their wolf form, but Talia can't shift, and he didn't want to make it awkward for her.

Maddox didn't like it. Why was Shaman living in the middle of nowhere? Was Mindy supposed to live like a recluse from now on? He was not sure what to think about it.
