Legal stuff: I do not own the 10th kingdom. I am not making any profit from this story.

Out of the darkness of the night and the stillness of the forest surrounding the pink castle, a silver haired wolf came out from the shadows and into a small clearing. The wolf was not alone. Other Wolfs came out of the shadows from different directions to join her. The stars in the night sky made their yellow eyes glow even more. Their long hair flied around in the light wind.

The wolves sat down in a large circle. They began to whisper to each other, asking weather they knew why they were summoned there. But no one knew the answer. After a while the whispering became silence. No one even moved.

Suddenly out of nowhere Bade appeared in the centre of the groups circle and startled the wolves.

"Huff-puff that was fun!" Laughed Bade.

Several of the wolves jumped to their feet.

"Bade! Where in the kingdoms did you come from?"

"Right here." Said Bade pointing down. "I've been here the whole time and you never even knew!"

"Impossible!" said the silver haired Wolf. "We would have smelt you. There is no magic that can conceal that. Nor the sound!"

"There is now, Rollin!" Grinned Bade. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an old horse shoe. Rollin wrinkled her nose at it.

"What's that?" She asked curiously looking at the shoe.

"This is what kept me undetected for you." Bade placed the horse shoe back into his pocket. "We shall need it to conceal our lair from attackers."

A red haired wolf laughed out loud. Bade glared at him.

"What's so amusing, Tynan?" Asked Bade looking very angry.

Tynan stopped laughing and looked up at the alpha male.

"Urm, its just, well the humans have never caught us yet. Why would they now?"

"Tynan, you're a little pig!" Cursed a voice from the forest. The wolves looked in the direction of the voice. A small slender wolf appeared. She had jet black hair and very pale skin as she didn't see daylight much.

She went over to Tynan. "Jaser was caught and burnt. Have you forgotten so soon!"

Tynan looked at the female wolf in shock.

"Ebony, urm, I, ur." He stuttered searching for the right word. "Sorry."

Ebony fixed Tynan with a look that seem to say if looks could kill you'd be dead.

Ebony moved away from Tynan and sat down with the other wolfs. "I apologise for my language, Bade. Please continue with what you where saying."

Bade nodded at her and turned to Tynan.

"The humans maybe evil monsters, but they are smart and they will eventually track us down. The horse shoe will save our lives. In the coming future we are going to need all the help we can get."

"Why?" Called out a wolf.

"Because we are going to take over the second kingdom." Bade paused and looked around the pack. They didn't look nervous or worried. They looked eager to hear more."

"We are the good guys." Continued Bade in a commanding voice. "We are fighting for a just cause. For our kin. We will be the ones who will live happy-ever-after."

Ebony let out a large disdainful laugh. The laugh was dripping in bitterness and grief.

"Jaser was good, kind and strong. But he had no happy-ever-after. His ashes are on top of a burnt out inferno of a bonfire. Happy-ever-after is a myth for us. Everyone has always considered us evil. Now even fate believes that."

As Ebony spoke Bade was filled with pain. Everyone in the pack could feel Ebony's pain over her mates death. Bade walked over to her and took hold of her cold hands and tried to warm them in his.

"Ebony, I am truly sorry about what happened to your mate Jaser."

Ebony closed her eyes as a small sparkly tear fell down her face.

"Why?" She whispered. "Why did they do this?"

"They are evil mistrusting creatures. When wolves have tried to peacefully live with humans, the humans turn on them. On us. I pity them in a small way, killing is in there nature. They even kill their own kind!"

The other wolves nodded their heads in agreement. Ebony brushed her hair way from her face and wiped away her tears.

Bade give Ebony's hand a small squeeze.

"They will pay for your pain and for Jasers." He whispered in to her ear.

Ebony smiled at him half-heartedly.

"Okay so how are we going to take over the second kingdom?" She asked. "We don't have anything to fight with."

"We don't have axes or swords." Stated Bade. "But we have strength and cunning. We also have much stronger senses than the humans. The most important weapon is information. I have some and intend to get more."
Bade began to pace around the pack. "For this reason we are going to kidnap Queen Riding Hood."

The pack held their breath. What a wonderful idea they thought. What revenge we can do to her.

"I'll beat her." Shouted out a wolf.

"I'll burn her." Yelled out another one.

"I'll make her beg for mercy." Called out another.

"NO" Shouted Bade at the pack. "We can't do that!"

The other wolves looked at Bade in shock. Bade smiled nastily. "Well not until I have the information I want and I am finished with her."

The Pack started to laugh and howl.

"When do we strike, Bade?" Asked Ebony.

"Tomorrow." Answered Bade. "That's why we are here. The Queen is will arrive in the morning to meet with King Wendell. I have a friend who can create wind and the wind will put her guard dogs off our scents."

"Why is she meeting with King Wendell. She can't stand him because of the pardon for wolves?" Asked Ebony.

"That's why she's going to meet with him. She is going to demand the wolf pardon be abolished."

"She can't do that." Said Ebony in disgust.

"She has a lot of power." Said Tynan. "The Queens army is very strong. The Queen has a lot of wealth. That will give her a lot of leverage."

"That murdering bitch needs to be stopped!" Cried out Rollin.

"She will be, Rollin." Said Bade Hungrily as his eyes began to glow yellow like the rest of his pack.

"She will be."
