Rise Of The Moonwalker Pack

Chapter 6- Defense strategy

Alpha Micah's pov

Are you familiar with the game Hungry Hungry Hippos? It's the one where your goal is to get your hippo to eat the most food/white balls.

Matias ordered enough food for five times the amount of people here, so the spread we had to choose from was impressive. And for some reason, watching Azariah and my mate eat multiple plates of food, I'm reminded of that game.

I don't say this out loud, but Jace and I shared a 'look' when they got up for their fourth plate. Or was it the fifth? Honestly, I've lost count.

"Do you two think you'll be able to last a couple of hours so we can get some work done here?" I ask them.

"If you had just brought the food in here, instead of putting it in the break room, we wouldn't have to keep leaving." Azariah points out.

During the break we took, Alek, our head of security joined the meeting, and Priya and Finn decided to stick around. We needed to figure out what we were going to do, now that we have roughly twenty hours left before dipshit does something else.

The big question is, what will that something be? Does he have any more tricks up his sleeve? Or is the whole, drugging us and forcing our wolves to go on a rampage his only card?

"Alright, let's throw some ideas out on how we keep those idiots out, and our packs safe," I say. After we figure this part out, then we can move on to how we're going to eliminate them.

"Well, we now know that our tranquilizers aren't strong enough, so that's a great question, Alpha Micah. We only managed to take two down when they came through. And that was with multiple darts in each one." Alek pipes up.

"And Ehron excluded, it takes multiple wolves to take just one of them down," Matias adds. "We don't have enough pack members who are experienced fighters in wolf form to deal with that level of crazy. Not without taking losses anyways."

"I hate to be the one to say this, but what if we didn't focus on trying to save the shifted wolf," Azariah says while looking at Amber.

"What do you mean?" Amber hesitantly asks.

"Okay, hear me out. You've been so focused on developing a formula to try and save them if they get injected. Isn't there something you could concoct that would put them down instead of trying to put them to sleep like the tranquilizers?" At least Azariah looks bad about suggesting it, although it is a good idea.

"Of course, I could," Amber says matter of factly, "The problem is, I have no way of knowing what dose they would need in order for it to work. Humans have a drug called Epinephrine that could do the trick. Basically it can be given if your blood pressure or heart rate falls too low. If you administered enough of this drug, it would cause your heart rate to spike to the point it would just give out. But who knows how it'll work, if at all, on the drugged wolves."

"What about rat poison?" Jace throws it out there.

"That would work, but you can't just buy it in large quantities," Amber informs him.

"And why not?" I ask her.

Amber shakes her head like she's about to explain this to a group of children. "Because some morons used it to make Acid back in the day. Before you ask me what that is I'll just tell you. It's a drug that, once again stupid humans take, and it makes them see shit and whatnot. So it's now regulated as to how much you can buy."

"Can't we just say that one of our warehouses is infested, and we need a large amount?" Priya says.

"Yup we could. Except then they'd have to send out an inspector to this supposed infested warehouse. They won't just take our word for it." Amber explains.
