Death Eaters swarmed the town. Kiba and his pack watched as the towns people pulled back with the Order of the Phoenix. The had failed.
Kiba shook his head and stepped back further into the shadows of the roofs. "Are you sure there's nothing we can do?" Toboe asked quietly. Kiba shook his head. "There are only five of us. We'd lose. Besides, our orders were just to be near the castle for when the summons came. We wait." Toboe lowered his eyes.
Tsume looked over at their alpha. "Kiba, how long did Krista say we needed to wait?"
Kiba didn't take his eyes off the ruin below them.
"Until the King calls." he whispered.
Hige, Blue, Tsume, and Toboe shifted uneasily behind him. Kiba knew why.
The King was close, their very beings vibrated with the feeling. It called to them. But the King himself wasn't ready for them yet. Krista was right. The King would call when he was ready.
"Let's rest. We'll need it after the run down here." Blue commented.
"I'll take first watch." Hige volunteered.
Kiba nodded.
Sleep. For the moment, it was all they could do.
