I THE SCENTS: Chocolate Mint [sequel of Bloody Chocolate]

As we left the pack, I could hear Luna's sermon toward the whole pack.

'THAT VAMPIRE IS THE MATE OF MY DAUGHTER, YOUR ALPHA'S DAUGHTER!'

'EVERYONE OF YOU MUST BE REMINDED THAT THIS PACK WASN'T BUILT FOR WOLVES ALONE. THIS PACK WAS BUILT FOR  A SANCTUARY NOT FOR DISCRIMINATION AND REJECTION. WE'RE HEALERS FOR THOSE WHO WERE FALLEN AND WANT TO START ANEW...'

'BUT YOU! YOU DENIED THAT KIND OF HELP THEY WERE ASKING FOR! I JUST HOPE THE GODDESS WON'T LEAVE US IN DISGRACE.'

She was furious and everyone whimpered that I wish I could see it since it will be my first time seeing the Luna in her foul mood toward the pack. I just sighed as I shook my head to focus where we must be heading. We walked tirelessly within the woods that gave me some idea to make it a bit fun for my kids. I smirked to myself as I watched the kids walking in front of me lost in their own little world. I began to sent some malicious intent that made them looked back at me and the chase began. I went after the kids and they were having a blast just by running but they were halted since we're already nearing the border. They felt that if they stepped out there, they won't be able to come back here but more importantly they knew that there was something else behind those border since they smelled it. Rogues.

"Easy. We're not gonna hurt you." A very familiar voice of an angel asked my kids.

"What are you doing here alone?" second familiar voice of a masculine man asked the frightened kids.

"They're not alone, Andrei; Amber." I replied for the kids who immediately run and hide behind me.

"So you were here." Andrei grinned wider as he lend out his right hand to his half-sister next to her.

"You bet on me? You two never change." I chuckled as I shook my head from seeing they still have their ways to have fun.

"That's our pass time, anyway what brought you back?" Amber responded as she looked at the kids from time to time.

"Well its my first home." I honestly told them that made Andrei laughed at me.

"You've been kicked out; well, we love your back." Amber said as she nudged her brother side.

"Are they here?" I asked as we all started to walked deeply in the woods.

"Nope, just five of us." Andrei replied while hopping on every chopped log like a kid.

"Rupert?" I guessed that made Amber nodded.

"Yes and he was the one who told us to get here." Andrei answered as he jumped high from huge rocks to rocks.

"I see. Then let's go." I smiled on how active these two grew up into.

I scooped the two kids before doing the same since the rocks are totally piled up like it was a ruins of mini mountain with moss covering it. Behind those rocks, there were tons of fallen trees that also pile up with moss covering it up as well. Everything in the way were difficult to crossed that's why I have to carry the kids. The path toward the Lone Rogues pack or the very first root of the Achilles Blood was difficult to find since there was no path at all. After dealing with piled rocks and fallen trees or logs, we have to climbed up through the trees before jumping from trees to trees.

"Afraid?" I asked the two kids in my arms before I jumped from trees to trees.

"Nope." Alicia answered.

"Excited." Alison answered that made me smirked.

"Then hold on tight." I chuckled as I headed off on jumping.
