Inhumane

Chapter Seventeen

Caroline stood outside with her pack, muscles tense and ready for action. It was going to be a full moon later that night. It was six o'clock. The sun would be setting soon, bringing out the full moon. Matt would call WHO once they shifted and then the plan would take action.

After a while of waiting and talking quietly the sun had set. Caroline felt adrenaline in her veins as she shifted along with her pack. They all howled loudly, signaling Matt to make the call from inside the house. She listened carefully to the call. "Hello."

"Matt is that you? What the hell are you doing on those mutt's side?"

"Listen. I've made them trust me. You should come. They aren't prepared. But bring everything you've got."

"Hm... fine. But if I find out this is a lie you're dead."

"Okay, see you soon then."

Caroline crouched beside the house, her pack behind her. Matt was on Caroline's back. She couldn't leave him at the house. If he was found alone he would be killed. He took his machine gun and a back pack full of clothes for everyone. Caroline could feel her wolf wanting to take over completely. Her eyes had turned red like Ethan said they would, she was even more powerful than she was before meaning she'd have to be even more careful near Luke's pack. Not that she planned on doing much of the fighting.

Caroline soon heard the approach of WHO. She peeked around the side of the house to see hundreds of large vans carrying hunters. She waited until they had stopped at the front. "Now!" Caroline barked.

They all came from around the house and howled at the hunters who looked over and started yelling. One man called out," Matt! You lyin' bastard I shouldn't have ever trusted ya! Kill them! Kill them all!"

Caroline took off running into the forest at top speed. Her legs carried her much faster than normal and she guessed it had something to do with the full moon. She was at Luke's base in an instant and she stopped in her tracks. She had to wait for them to catch up. Slow humans. She looked at her pack who stopped behind her, making sure everyone was there.

Everyone stood in tense silence. She could hear the angry yelling of the hunters. Way to be stealthy. After what felt like forever she saw them clumsily running towards them. Caroline led her pack into the middle of Luke's base. She howled loudly and tons of wolves from his pack emerged from the shadows of the trees. "I knew I heard something," Luke snarled.

"You thought WHO could take us down. Yeah, right." Caroline growled.

Luke clearly struggled to find words. Caroline knew he was aware of the fact that he brought this upon himself. Caroline barked to her pack and ran to the other side of the clearing away from Luke and his pack. Caroline watched and was to surprised to see that he was standing his ground. He growled to his pack and they all lined up, ready to fight. Caroline led her pack further away so that they were hidden in the trees. "I wasn't expecting them to stay and fight." Caroline said aloud.

"They'll die," Matt said.

"I know. I was expecting them to know to run. I figured that it would just be a lesson learned and they wouldn't kill people anymore. They should've known there'd be consequences for what they've done."

"Now what? We don't want to indirectly be the cause of their deaths," Ethan spoke.

"We must wait. If we see that they are struggling we're gonna have to fight."

"Sounds like a plan," Mark said.

"Good luck, everyone," Olivia said quietly.

"We can do this! We will no longer tremble in fear at the hands of those pests!" Victoria exclaimed. Shark smiled in response.

Caroline looked away from them and watched as hundreds of hunters charged into the clearing.
