AUTHOR NOTES: I'm back and I bring another book for my Wolves of Secrets story. At first, I didn't know if I should do another story because I didn't think people would be interested. I was actually planning on doing a different, Lavashipping story but I said to myself I'd do this book first and see if people wanted anymore.
Chapter 1: Leader Of The Pack
It had been three months since Morro had been left with Lloyd's father and Akita to the wild and things had been settling back down in Ninjago. As soon as they had realized Morro had run away, his foster parents and Social Services had filed a missing person's report but they never found him. Lloyd, Nya, and Kai had suggested tracking Morro down and bringing him back but the others stopped them, saying it was his decision to leave.
Nobody had even mentioned his name in nearly two months.
It was just too painful. During that time Zane and the others had finally sat down with Pixel and explained everything to her. About all their powers, their history, and even the few weaknesses the teens actually knew about. She had been incredibly fascinated by all of it and was constantly asking them questions for the first two months. The others had been thrilled that they didn't have to hide these kinds of things from her, especially Zane.
Things had been awkward between him and Pixel after she had discovered their secret but thankfully they worked it out and were still together.
True to her word, Pixel had taken down her theory website and never spoke about the beast in the forest again. Cyrus Borg was relieved, thinking his daughter had finally gotten out of this faze and was focusing on other projects. Pixel had been trying her best to make things up to the others, feeling guilty about finding out their secret and thinking it was her fault Morro was gone. When Ray and Maya had found Pixel knew the truth they had wanted to take their children and flee.
It was only after days of begging and promises to keep the secret on Pixel's part did the two parents agreed to let their children stay in Ninjago.
However, they made it very clear to Pixel that if she so much as breathed a word of this to anyone there would be no place she could hide. It was currently the night of the full moon and everyone was at their respected dens for the night. There was still just under an hour before moonrise so they were still getting ready for the night. In Lloyd's house, he, his family, and Nya were getting ready for the moonrise. Uncle Wu had just finished locking the doors and windows when he entered the kitchen and smelt something strange.
"What is that smell?" He asked and the two teens tried to hold in their laughter.
"Pixel brought us a present." Lloyd snickered and pulled out a dog chew from a plastic bag.
"Dog chews?" Uncle Wu glared as he snatched the chew out of his nephew's hand.
"I'm sure she meant well, Wu." Misako smiled.
"Do you know what these are made out of?" He glared as he took a sniff of the dog chew, only for his glare to slowly fade away. "Animal hide and...marrow." He muttered in a daze.
"Time we were in the den!" Misako laughed as she grabbed the bag and Wu started nibbling on the dog chew.
"Uncle Wu!" Lloyd cried in disgust.
"It's nice." He defended and they all followed Misako downstairs to the basement. As they walked in, however, Nya suddenly cried out in pain as she was suddenly hit in the head by something. She looked up and saw what looked like a gold, homemade owl decoration hanging from the ceiling
"Another present from Pixel." Lloyd shrugged. "Apparently, it's the wise old owl of the forest keeping an eye on the werewolves and bashing them on the head!" He laughed while Nya rubbed her head, glaring at the otherwise harmless decoration. "She just wants to be part of things."
"At least we know Pixel won't betray our secret." Misako sighed. "Nothing could break that special bond between a girl and her dogs." She smiled mischievously as Nya and Lloyd gasped in horror.
"Mom! We're not dogs!" He cried while she and his uncle laughed and barked and trying to tickle his and Nya's tummies as a joke. What the four werewolves didn't notice, however, was the tiny camera hidden in the owl's right eyes that was broadcasting a live video of the den straight to Pixel's laptop as the pale girl camped just on the edge of the woods outside Lloyd's house. She sat in the cold was watching three separate videos on her laptop.
Lloyd wasn't the only one who she had given a secret recording owl.
She had a clear video link into both Jay and Zane's den as well as Lloyd's. No one knew she was camping out here tonight, not even her father. Her father thought she was staying at Nya's, on a full moon. She thought it might help. If it looks like they have visitors on a full moon, no-one would suspect anything. As she watched her all friends laughing and preparing for their inevitable transformation, Pixel couldn't help but feel bad about what she was doing.
This time was incredibly private to the werewolves and she was well aware of that, but it was for science.
It was vital that she understand why her friends were so different and yet so similar to her. She knew the others weren't experiments in a laboratory, that they were her best friends, but this was very important for them as much as for her. She watched in awe as everyone stood around and suddenly transformed into their wolf forms. As Lloyd and his family played around in the den, Jay was playing with his toys, and Zane and the other boys ran out of their den through the tunnel.
As they went about their business, Pixel was taking notes.
She noticed that the full moon transformation was not instantaneous. All of them seemed to have changed at slightly different times. There wasn't much else to see now. Pixel had gotten what you wanted and was about to pack up and leave when she noticed Lloyd was acting strangely. He was jumping up at the cellar door and running around like crazy. Why was he behaving like that? Maybe he wanted to get out. Maybe he could smell her out here.
Pixel shook that idea off, knowing he couldn't from in there.
At least she hoped not. She started writing down how Lloyd was attempting to get out of the cellar. His parents and Nya seemed agitated, too. Of course, this could be the natural reaction to being locked up. She suddenly jumped out of her skin when she heard the sound of barking and something big coming towards her at high speeds. She gasped when she realized it was a wolf. Lloyd, his family, Nya, and Jay may have been locked up but the others weren't.
If they caught her out here they would discover what she was doing and there would be hell to pay.
As it got closer, however, she realized it was only one wolf and it seemed injured. The wolf slowed down and stopped right in front of her, looking up with pleading eyes.
"Morro?" She gasped and the wolf yipped as if to say yes. It was Morro! Before she could say or do anything else, however, Morro whipped his head around and snarled at something behind him before running past Pixel and towards Lloyd's house. She was confused for a moment until she heard more barking and running coming from the same direction. At first, she thought it was her other friends until they got closer. She had never seen these wolves before.
Fearing the worst, Pixel ran after Morro as fast as she could.
She jumped over the fence into Lloyd's back yard and saw Morro desperately pawing and scratching at the cellar door. Knowing what he wanted, Pixel was about to go and help him when she heard angry snarls coming from behind her. She swiftly turned and cried out in fear when she saw four strange wolves were jumping over the fence. They were about to lunge at her, only to cry out in pain when all four were suddenly attacked by Kai, Cole, and Zane.
The three boys had picked up the scent of four new wolves on their territory and had rushed to the rescue, arriving just in time.
While the seven wolves fought it out, Pixel quickly unlocked the cellar doors and opened them allowing Morro to jump down to safety. Cole, Kai, and Zane quickly followed. Pixel looked back at the strange wolves as they snarled and slowly walked towards her. Not thinking twice, she jumped down into the cellar, pulling the door shut just before the wolves could strike...
As soon as the sun had risen the next morning and they all returned to their human forms, Misako, Wu, and Lloyd had gone outside to search for the wild werewolves, with Morro following close behind. He had changed since he had left. His shoulder-length hair had grown down to his elbows and his normal bright green streak had dulled, almost completely faded away. Instead of his usual clothes, he now wore rags. He was wearing a pale tanned tank top with small holes and stains on it under a thick black coat and dirty brown pants.
The boy looked and smelled like he had never had a shower in his life.
All his wounds had been treated and bandaged. Thankfully, none of them were serious. When they had returned to human form Pixel had to keep her eyes covered as to not see something she wasn't supposed to. They all knew Pixel didn't have a choice, but it was still embarrassing! The dens were private for a reason.
"There's not much scent." Uncle Wu commented as they sniffed around the back yard. "These wild werewolves didn't stay long." He added and they all turned to Morro, who had yet to say a word.
"They hate the human world, I didn't think they would follow me this far." He muttered, keeping his gaze to the ground.
"Who were they?"
"Clouse, Krux, and Acronix, they're just beta wolves - henchmen, and Chen." He gulped and everyone noticed the fear in his voice when he said the last name. Misako and Wu frowned; they had heard that name before but they couldn't remember where.
"And who's Chen?" Lloyd asked. Meanwhile, inside the house, everyone was sat in the living room and the kitchen, trying to think about what was going to happen now that Morro had returned. Kai and Cole were upstairs having a shower while the others were getting breakfast ready. Because the boys didn't have a spare change of clothes, they had to borrow some of Lloyd's. Zane had called his father to inform him what had happened and the old man said he was bringing some clean clothes to them.
"You're being chased by the pack leader!" Lloyd cried as he, his family, and Morro came back inside. "What happened out there?"
"I broke the rules." He mumbled.
"Alphas don't leave their pack because you broke some rules, not unless you did something unforgivable," Misako said in disbelief.
"He chased you all the way here?" Lloyd asked.
"How did you make him that angry?" Wu glared as Kai and Cole came downstairs.
"He hated me, OK?!" Morro suddenly exploded. "Because I was new because I didn't obey stupid laws because I was different! He hated me for the same reasons you hate me!" He screamed and everyone fell into an uncomfortable silence.
"Scrambled or fried?" Zane suddenly said with a nervous smile, holding up a carton of eggs from the fridge, but no one said anything.
"Come on, Morro, we don't hate you." Kai finally sighed.
"You threw me out of your pack!" He cried.
"This isn't about us!" Cole exclaimed. "It's about why there's a wild alpha male roaming our territory, putting us all in danger."
"I didn't mean for this to happen." He said before storming out of the house. As soon as he was gone, Lloyd gave everyone a glare.
"Well done, guys!" He growled.
"He chose to go with Garmadon." Nya reminded him.
"Only because I found out." Pixel said from her place next to Zane. "You were all leaving too, what else was he going to do?"
"He comes back in trouble and we welcome him with open arms?!" Cole snapped.
"Yes, we are because we're his pack!" Lloyd shouted before running after the lone wolf. He didn't have to go far as he found Morro angrily walking up the muddy road into the forest.
"Don't worry about me, I'm gone!" He said, not even turning around to face the other teen.
"You've got nowhere to go, come back inside." He pleaded as he blocked Morro's path.
"Your family doesn't want me here!"
"They're all just scared that there's more going on than you're telling us, but you know what? I don't care." He insisted. "So Chen's out there running around, big deal, maybe you did some bad stuff out there? Who cares? Come back inside and be part of the pack again." He begged and after much consideration, Morro reluctantly nodded and followed Lloyd back to his home. When they got home they found everyone sat around the dining room table waiting for them.
"So, how are we going to fix this?" Cole asked.
"We'll make some calls." Wu sighed. "First Social Services and then the Dobsons."
"You can't tell Social Services I'm back! They'll send me to a home!" Morro cried.
"There are people we can go to, werewolves in positions of authority that can solve problems the rest of us can't," Misako reassured the frightened teen. After they had all had some breakfast, Dr. Julien had arrived with the clothes and after being told the whole situation, decided to stay and give the children, minus Morro, a lift to school.
"Listen, stay on the school grounds, and don't go anywhere on your own and not a word about Morro until we've got this sorted," Misako told them as they were all getting ready to leave.
"You'll let us know as soon as anything happens, with Social Services, or anything?" Kai asked.
"Everything's going to be fine, I'll pick you all up at 3.30 pm." She promised and with that the teens all piled into Dr. Juilen's car and drove to school, unaware they were being watched...
Later that afternoon at lunch everyone had met up with Jay and told him everything about Morro's return and the wild werewolves he had unintentionally brought with him. The adopted werewolf was terrified the wild werewolves would show up here but was quickly reassured but Nya. Even though the school was on the edge of the city, right next to the forest, there was no way those wild werewolves would have the guts to actually enter the school grounds.
"I don't understand why they've chased him all this way," Jay said as they ate their lunch
"There must be something he's not telling us." Lloyd sighed.
"He must have done something really bad." Nya pointed out.
"He looked terrified," Pixel added.
"Yeah, good job you were in the woods last night." Zane smiled and Pixel blushed faintly, trying not to look guilty. When they had asked her why she was out there, she had simply said that she was trying to cover for them by pretending to be over at Nya and Kai's apartment during a full moon and she was doing homework on her laptop. Thankfully none of them had seen the videos or her research. She wanted to tell them about the camera but it would be easier if she just took the camera out of the owls before anyone found out.
They were well hidden but she didn't want to take the risk.
Unfortunately, with everything that was going on, it wouldn't be possible to take the cameras back at the moment. Morro was what was important right now. She could only hope that if they do manage to find the cameras they would understand her reason. The werewolves will get found out one day. The internet, camera-phones, CCTV; it is going to happen and whoever finds them might decide they're a danger to humanity, that they're evil, but she would have evidence proving that they can control their instincts and live peacefully among humans.
Just like they had been doing for hundreds of years.
The day the secret comes out, Pixel's evidence might be the only thing that could save them. She was doing it to make them safer and she was going to take the camera out of the dens as soon as she could. She already had enough evidence so now she could leave them one place where they could be themselves.
"Why aren't they answering?" Lloyd suddenly growled, snapping Pixel out of her thoughts, He had been trying to ring his mother and uncle but there was no answer.
"You're getting into a state about nothing, Lloyd!" Cole sighed in frustration.
"What if the wild werewolves are attacking the house right now?!"
"Those werewolves are halfway back to the frozen north by now, your parents are just sorting out Morro," Jay reassured the worried teen. "Everything will be fine."...
After lunch, the pack had gone to gym class where the instructor was giving everyone a judo lesson. All the students were dressed in judo robes and were placed in pairs as they stood on mats spread around the gymnasium. The gym coach was explaining how in Judo, never oppose strength with strength, work out your opponent's attack and use their weaknesses against them as he told them to stand square on the mats and to spread their weight between both feet.
Everyone was busying doing the moves when all of a sudden the doors opened and everyone was shocked to see Morro Ren walking into the gymnasium.
He had had a bath and was dressed in his usual clothes, but his hair was still incredibly long. Before Lloyd and the others could even breathe all the other students swarmed over to the lone wolf and started firing off all kinds of questions.
"Where have you been?" Dareth asked.
"Wow, you really need a haircut!" Harumi laughed.
"Thought we'd seen the last of you." Chad glared.
"Where've you been? On the run?" Maggie asked in fascination.
"From who, the hairdressers?" Harumi scoffed at her.
"Since when has running away made anyone a hero?" Chad glared, annoyed by how much attention Morro was suddenly getting.
"No-one called him a hero!" Kai snarled.
"Why is everyone treating him like a rock star then? He's a kid who ran away." Chad sneered, trying to get a rise out of the long-haired teen. But Morro simply looked the jock over and smirked.
"So what is this, Chad? A pajama party?"
"Judo, actually."
"Kids' stuff." He scoffed and began to walk away.
"Really? Try to grab me then." Chad challenged, but Morro ignored him and continued walking. This only seemed to anger Chad more, however, and he charged toward the lone wolf before anyone could stop him. Reacting on pure instinct, Morro grabbed Chad's arm, flung him over his shoulder like he weighed nothing, and threw him into the mats nearly ten feet away from them. While most of the students cheered Morro on Chad's gang rushed to his side to help him up.
The gym teacher quickly broke up the fight before it even began and sent Morro to the principal's office.
As he walked away, Lloyd and the others could only watch him leave, worry clear on their faces as the alarm bell rang loudly...
After the Judo incident at gym class, Chad had been sent straight to the nurse's office for a possible dislocated shoulder and Morro had yet to return from the principal's office. Everyone else had gone to their History lesson with the lovely Miss. Koko where they were learning who the world of 1918 was very different from today. As Miss. Koko was halfway taking through a lecture about soldiers from 1918, Morro suddenly burst into the classroom.
Everyone watched as he sat at his usual desks without a word.
"Hurry up, Morro, and open your textbook to page 15; you're already three months late, let's not make it any worse." Koko sighed and started her lecture again. She explained how soldiers returning from the front were changed by their experiences. They returned uncommunicative, prone to mood swings, and unable to adjust to their old way of life. The rest of the lesson was uneventful until the end. Lloyd and the others quickly left the classroom and Morro chased after them.
"Guys, I'm sorry!" He exclaimed as he caught up with them. "I didn't mean-"
"You're always sorry Morro!" Kai growled. "Then you do the same old stupid shit again!"
"Coming back from the wild, it's not like coming home from a vacation." Morro frowned.
"You've changed, that's for sure." Said Lloyd.
"What did you expect?" He glared. "I mean, the things you do in the wild, they're different, then you come back and you just feel..."
"Moody, apparently." Nya huffed.
"Why does it always have to be my fault?!"
"We're just trying to help you, Morro." Replied Zane.
"What, by asking questions all the time? Just stay out of my head!" He yelled as he violently pushed past them, knocking Jay to the ground, and disappeared around the corner. While the others were checking on Jay, Pixel saw red and ran after Morro. She followed him through the school until they were alone in a stairwell. The same stairwell the others first spoke to Morro when he moved here.
"What do you think you're doing, speaking to the others like that?!" She shouted in a rage but he just laughed bitterly.
"You're so fond of questions, Pixel, answer me this one, what were you really doing camped outside Lloyd's on your computer, during a full moon?" He asked and Pixel's face went even paler. "See? We all have our secrets." He spat before walking away, leaving her all alone on the stairs...
Morro sighed as he stepped out to the back of the school for some fresh air. He knew this was a mistake to come back to Ninjago City, but he didn't know where else to go. Lloyd and the others were the only other werewolves he knew outside the wild pack. He didn't even know if any of them were still in the city after Pixel had discovered their secret. He didn't have a choice, however. Not with Chen and his followers hunting him for miles and miles until he couldn't run anymore.
He just took a chance and ran to the nearest den, Lloyd's house, and hoped they would be able to help him.
Instead, he's brought more problems than ever before. Before he could punish himself even more, however, his nose suddenly caught the scent of something very familiar. Something very dangerous. Deciding not to chase after the scent, Morro knelt down, placed his hand on the grass, and concentrated. During his time with Chen's pack, they had taught him the wild werewolf power of Jōhō. It was a little difficult because he was right next to the school, but he was close enough to the forest to manage it.
Using his Jōhō he looked around and nearly screamed.
Hiding behind the janitor's shed, only fifty feet away from him, was Chen and his three followers. Without even thinking about it, Morro took off running back into the safety of the school and looked for Lloyd and the others. He eventually found them by their lockers and dragged them into an empty classroom.
"They're here! Outside!" He screamed and they instantly knew what he was talking about.
"They can't be!" Cole cried.
"Yeah, they wouldn't come this close!" Jay whimpered.
"They have! You need to ring your parents and keep everyone inside!" Morro exclaimed.
"They've already invaded our territory, and come this close to the school!" Kai snapped. "How the fuck do we know they won't come into the school while there are humans here!?"
"I'll lead them away!
"Don't be stupid! They're trying to kill you!" Lloyd shouted.
"I brought them here!"
"It is your fault, but you're not going out there alone!" Ordered Nya.
"We need to understand our enemy and use their strengths against them." Pixel explained and Zane suddenly got an idea.
"Morro understands the wild pack, a bit." He said. "And we can use that."...
Outside, behind the school, currently devoid of humans, the four wild werewolves were slowly walking towards the highschool. They were led by Chen and by his side were the siblings, Krux and Acronix, and his loyal follower Clouse. Chen wore a skull-like helmet atop his head along with a thick snake-like scarf resting along on his shoulder. He had a mustache-goatee, thick eyebrows, and thick sideburns and hair, all of which were black in color.
The black shirt he was wearing was a collection of dirt and who knows what else.
Small holes and tears were scattered all over the shirt. Chen wore a scraggy red coat over his shirt. It was greasy, full of stains and torn, but at least it helped him stay relatively dry, even if only for a little. His black pants weren't what they used to be either. There were holes all over the bottom part and there was a big tear on the right side. His boots were ragged, a little too small and there was a hole in the left toebox which was letting in water and dirt.
Krux had short grey hair and a small grey mustache with forest green eyes.
His dark red shirt was a real bad mess and it barely managed to hang from his shoulders like a discarded old towel. Insects or rodents had chewed hundreds of small holes into it, leaving much of him exposed to the elements. He was wearing a ripped, silver fleece over his t-shirt. It was a size too small, stained, and dirty, but at least it protected him from the wind, even if only for a little. The knees on his black pants were torn and there were plenty of other small tears all over.
His boots were old and a size too small.
He wore a large black scarf around his neck and had it wrapped around his face to just below the eyes. It was ragged and stained, but at least it was not smelly. His younger brother Acronix had long shoulder-length black hair and the same forest green eyes. What was once a bright red t-shirt was now merely a dirt-stained piece of fabric, clinging tightly to his body. He's wearing a black, rugged vest over his t-shirt. It was a size too large, dirty, and torn, but at least it helped him stay warm.
He wore black pants that were covered in dirt stains, holes, and tears were scattered all over, but at least he had thick black boots to protect his feet.
Although they were grimy, way too big and the sole of the left shoe has come loose at the heel. He wore a black scarf around his neck and had it wrapped around his face to just below the eyes like his brother. It was torn and worn, but otherwise in a decent shape. His head was covered by a black hood that was old and ragged, but otherwise in a good and relatively clean condition. Clouse had long black hair past his shoulders, dark eyes, and a cold aged face with a thin mustache.
His red jumper was torn, dirt-stained, and the neck had been torn on one side.
He was wearing an old red poncho over his t-shirt with faded purple outlines. It was worn out, dirty, and stained with grime, but at least it helped him stay protected. His pants had holes everywhere and the legs had been shortened by wear and tear, but at least he had black boots to protect his feet from the elements. Although they were ragged, a little too small, and the heel of the left shoe was worn far more than the right. His head was covered by a red hood that was in surprisingly good condition.
It was old, but there were no holes or stains.
"We shouldn't be here." Krux hissed as his eyes kept darting around. "Why all this risk for a defiant cub?"
"You've made your point, Chen." His brother glared. "Isn't it time we go home before we're caught?"
"We came for him and we don't leave without him." Chen snarled, looking at the towering building in front of them.
"But-"
"Are you daring to challenge your leader?!" Chen bellowed as he snapped around to face them. The three other werewolves quickly bowed their heads in fear and shut up. Before they could do anything else, however, they suddenly picked the scent of their prey and turned back to the school to see Morro standing there, standing tall and brave.
"What's up, Chen? Scared of a few kids?" He mocked loudly. "Oh, no, electricity, lights, walls!" He scoffed and Chen saw red.
"Get him!" He roared and his three followers ran after Morro. The lone wolf ran away and lead the wild werewolves throughout the empty halls. All the other students were busy in their classes so they were hoping no humans saw them. As the wild werewolves chased after the lone wolf, they were so enraged they failed to see the others scattered around the school, secretly snapping pictures. Once they were done, they all met up in the empty gymnasium and handed the memory cards to Jay, who put them in a projector.
"This had better work!" Cole exclaimed as Pixel quickly left. If the wild werewolves smelled her here they would kill her. Not even five seconds later, Morro burst into the gymnasium with Chen and his followers close behind. All four wild werewolves stopped when they saw the six teens Morro was hiding behind.
"Run to the tame wolves, have you?" Chen sneered in disgust. "They can't protect you."
"W-Whatever Morro's done, it's over." Gulped Jay.
"You don't belong here." Kai glared.
"Tell that to him." Chen spat as Morro flinched. "He encouraged my pack to contaminate themselves with human contact!"
"It's not wrong to mix with humans!" Morro snapped back.
"We mix with them, we become like them, we become weak!" The wild alpha shouted. "You brought that weakness into my pack and you will pay for it!"
"You're breaking the rules, too," Lloyd spoke up. "This is our territory, and Morro's one of our pack!"
"You need to leave! Now!" Nya snarled.
"Brave words for a tame wolf," Clouse growled as the wild wolves stepped towards the teens. While all the werewolves snarled and challenged each other, Lloyd quickly pressed a button and the projector suddenly turned on, brightening the previously dark room. The wild werewolves gasped in shock as the pictures the others had taken appeared on the wall in front of them. In the pictures, their yellow eyes, sharpened teeth, and darkened veins and gums were clearly visible.
"Look at yourselves." Zane glared at the wild werewolves. "Look at all the evidence."
"Chen!" Krux shouted in panic and rage.
"There are humans everywhere!" Acronix cried. "What if they see this?!"
"What's the number one rule?" Cole mocked. "Don't let humans find out."
"That is what I will do!" Chen screamed and charged at the wall. He brought his claws downed and created a large scratch in the wall but as shocked when the picture stayed.
"That won't work," Kai smirked as Chen turned back toward them, looking ready to murder all of them right there and then.
"One-click of a button and I'll send them halfway around the world." Threatened Jay as he lifted a remote for the wild werewolves to see. "Or I can make the evidence disappear if you leave and never come back."
"You have to do as the cubs say." Acronix hissed.
"We should never have come here," Clouse growled.
"Be quiet, you mewling cowards!" Chen exclaimed before turning back to the teens. "Even a tame werewolf knows keeping the secret is the most important part-"
"The most important thing to me is my family." Lloyd quickly debunked. "And if it means keeping them safe, I'll tell the entire world." He added so strongly that Chen paused, unable to tell if the teen in front of him was lying or not.
"Forget this pathetic cub, your responsibility is to your pack!" Krux hissed.
"If you won't do the right thing, you're no leader at all!" His brother shouted.
"Enough!" Chen snapped, slashing the siblings across the face with his claws before calmly turning to the tame werewolves. "We will leave." He snarled. Lloyd started into his fiery eyes for a few moments before nodding to Kai and Cole, who instantly backed away to allow the wild werewolves to leave. All the werewolves growled as the intruders started to leave.
"And don't come back." Nya suddenly spat. Chen slowed to a stop and turned to face the teens, his face red with rage.
"You want Morro, you keep him." He snarled. "But your pack and my pack, we're enemies now." He warned before he and his followers ran out the fire exit doors, towards the forest, and out of sight...
