Preston's POV

Rob was standing over me. His front paws were on either side of my head and his jaws were around my throat. I let out a series of whimpers. We used them to signal when we were tapping out since we could be in any position when we tap out. He pulled away after a few seconds of reluctance.

Bold=Rob
Bold+Underline=Preston)

His ears perked up, "I finally beat you! Or did you go easy on me?"

"I was distracted by thinking about Jess randomly coming back so I'd probably go with the latter." The thing is, I was distracted because I was thinking about Rob. He was always in my thoughts, more so now than before. I had told Jess before she left about 2-3 months back and she told me that I was crushing on him. I have no idea if that's what it is or-

"Preston? Where did everyone else go?" He sounded genuinely curious.

"Uh, Merome and Jess were chasing each other and probably ran deeper into the forest. Vikklan, on the other hand, I have no idea."

He seemed happy to know his 'sister' was safe with two of the members of the pack, "Oh, well, Lachlan could've gone all blur mode and Vikk could have joined the other three?"

"Your guess is as good as mi-" I yelped as I felt something brush against my side.

Rob looked at me, worried, "Preston? What happened?"

"Something just touched my side. I was caught off-guard is all." After I finished I heard something off to my right. I stayed quiet so whatever or whoever it was wouldn't know that I know that its there.

"If you say so," He didn't seem to believe me but before I gave myself a chance to reply I leaped at where I had heard the sound. I heard a grunt from under me along with a squeak and was only a little surprised to see Lachlan, I was so used to his blur mode, but Vikk was also there. I mean how did he pull that one off? It isn't like he can blur with Lach-

I see what they did now. I walk away from them as Lachlan checks Vikk over for any wounds he could've gotten from his fall and go over to Rob who seemed like he couldn't believe what had happened. Had he not heard them moving?

"You okay, Rob?"

"How'd you know they were there? I couldn't even see Vikk," He inquired.

"I could hear them. You couldn't?"

"No, I was too busy paying attention to yo- our conversation," He cut himself off mid-sentence.

"If you say so, Roberto."

I've made a decision to carry on with the pack in a different book.
