Chapter 4

Hours later.

Eve's.

Shakey, Reba, Janice, Salty and Mooch came by.

"Hello, you five." said Eve. "So, what do you want?"

"Do you know where Humphrey is?" asked Shakey.

"No." said Eve. "He should've been coming back from the Midnight Howl with Kate by now."

"Well, they weren't even at the the howl the last time we checked." said Salty. "We've looked every hour. Lilly and Garth are missing as well. We checked the meadows and all there was was bloody deer bones. Next, we checked Garth's mom's and Humphrey's mom's. They weren't there either."

"Alert all alphas and the wolves of the eastern side of a possible ram attack." said Eve.

"They've already gotten that taking care of." said Reba.

"Okay." said Eve. "Now, I want the five of you, without splitting up, to gather up Haley and Tatum."

"Who?" asked Salty.

"Humphrey and Garth's moms." said Eve.

"Okay." said Salty. "Yes ma'am."

Meadows. An hour later.

The ram that killed Winston and Tony was grazing when he heard leaves crack and started running when Eve and Tatum, Garth's mom jumped in front of him. His fear turned into anger as he charged toward them, but they jumped onto his head and they began hurting him by pushing on his horns. Eve then bit his scalp and he collapsed.

Haley, Humphrey's mom walked up to him as Eve and Tatum jumped back onto the ground, doing flips along the way.

"Don't ever kill without thinking." said Haley. "You don't know what you've gotten yourself into. You mess with any number of either side, you get all of us in a very bad way."

Tons of eastern and western wolves came out of the shadows into the moonlight where the four were. Salty looked angrily at the ram.

"Listen carefully to the words we've gotta say." said Haley. "If you've hurt my son,"

"My daughters," Eve added.

"And my son, we're gonna tear your horns off," Tatum added.

"Shove them down your throat," Eve added.

"Tear your stomach open enough to grab them," Haley added.

"And cut you with them..." Tatum added.

"FROM THE INSIDE OUT!" shouted Eve.

"STOP IIIIIT!" shouted a teenage girl wolf's voice.

Red eyes appeared in the shadows and a beautiful brown wolf of the same color as Garth, Tony and Tatum stepped out. She had a ponytail, hazel eyes and around her back paws were flower bracelets. She shook her head to where a lock of fur fell over her right eye. Salty saw her with wings and a halo. The world changed to a day sky with white clouds.

"Oh my gosh, I think I've went to Heaven." said Salty.

"You should be chasing after an omega." said Shakey.

"Would you, SHUT UP!" shouted Salty.

"Rooney, what are you doing here?" asked Tatum. "You're supposed to be at home."

"He may have killed father and Winston, but he doesn't know about the disappearance of bubbs, Lilly, Kate and Humphrey." said the young wolf. "But I'll tell you what I know. Mom, I have bubbs's hearing. I heard rifles fire five times, but they sounded non-lethal. As soon as I was sure that it was over, I rushed to see two men putting them in these metal boxes in the back of a truck. All four of them were unconscious. I was ready to tear them humans apart, but it was too late. They drove off."

"And I fear I know where to." said Eve.

Rooney looked at Salty and walked over to him, then tackled him in a playful manor. She stood over him with a beautiful smile and a glare in her eyes.

"Hey there, hot stuff." said Rooney.

"Hello, beautiful angel." said Salty.

"Why don't you and I get alone and you turn me into a fallen angel?" asked Rooney. "How's that sound?"

"I'm okay with that!" Salty exclaimed.

Rooney kissed him.

"Then marry me." she said.

"What?" Salty said in disappointment.

"Rooney, he's an omega." said Tatum.

"Mom, that problem's resolved." said Rooney. "Dad and Winston resolved it. Remember?"

"It's true, Tatum." said Eve.

"I wanna marry him." said Rooney.

"Fine." said Tatum. "Only when and if he agrees. Salty, do you agree?"

"Yes." said Salty. "I agree... Just not soon."

"What?" Rooney said, upset. "But I'm in love with you!"

"And I love you." said Salty. "I'm just not ready for that yet."

"Rooney, run along home." said Tatum.

"Yes, mother." said Rooney and started back home but stopped and looked back at Salty with tears in her eyes.

"Rooney..." said Salty in regret.

Rooney then turned around and ran into the dark shadows.

"Dude, you just turned down a perfect girl." said Mooch.

"Yeah... Shut up, Mooch." said Salty.
