Connor's POV.

This armor really is heavy. Thankfully we have enhanced strength in our wolf forms but that doesn't make it any less heavy. Amber is currently strapping the armor to my torso. Rebecca is in front of me feeling how soft the fur on my head is.

Amber had taken some time away from her project to make sure I was safe. She then walked over with the helmet. I stood still for her as she put the helmet on me. It had little holes for my ears to go through and it fit perfectly on my wolves head. She then had Rebecca help her strap it down.

It all honesty, it itches like crazy where the straps are, but I'd rather that then get shot. Amber then kissed my nose. " Be careful. " she said, a slight order in her voice.

I huffed in response. ' Yes Ma'am. ' I said over our mind link.

Alpha Lucas would be leading this mission seeing as he was the one to find the traps first. Alpha Benjamin and my father are on team 2 and will be the ones dismantling the traps and placing them in a wagon.

We're unsure of how many traps we will find but we will be as prepared as we can. Once we have 15 people in team 1 and 2 with armor on, we start to make our way to the woods. Our overall plan is to clear the outside path around the entire pack and then go in from there. The humans will have nowhere to go.

The second we make it to the taller grass our snouts are aimed towards the ground and we start to sniff. All of us allowing our more wolf like instincts to take over. Right away I catch a strong scent of silver. It's everywhere in this grass along with many unrecognizable scents.

When I get to the first most strongest spot of silver I can find, I gently move the grass with my nose and spot what it is. This trap is close to a tree and it's basically a snare used for capturing small prey that has been made even bigger to capture wolves our size. I make a noise and my father who is close by walks up and I motion where it is.

" A large snare. Getting caught in that could freak your leg or if it's strong enough it could remove whatever limb gets caught in it. Very dangerous. Good find Connor. " he did what needed to be done to take the trap down. He was wearing gloves too so he doesn't burn his hands.

Each wolf was paired up with a member from team two. I happened to get paired up with my father. We continue to look for traps. My father walking behind me so as to not step in anything.

He's keeping a lookout though in case anyone makes a move. Everyone's being extra vigilant today. I continue to sniff out the silver traps and after we collect a few more snares and two bear traps I almost step into a hole. I take a few steps back to steady myself and then look more closely.

" What do you see Connor?" Asked my father.

' I'm not sure yet. The ground dipped down though. " I said over mind link.

" What do you think is down there? " he wondered out loud as I moved the grass to look closer.

I see the shine of something silver and I can smell it very strongly but I'm not sure what it is. I bite the grass and rip it away to get a clearer view.

That's when I see there's dirt that has been recently dug. I take my paw and lightly dig up the dirt. That's when I come across the most horrifying discovery.

I stand tall and let out a commanding howl for everything to stop. Everyone froze and all heads turned towards me. ' What is it Connor?" Asked Alpha Lucas.

" Land mines. They put down land mines. I smell silver but even if they weren't silver, a land kind would kill us too. " I said.

Eyes widened. " We're not equipped to handle explosives. " said a guard off to the side.
