New World Order

Chapter 31

The city lights were bright from the tall buildings and the fast cars driving up and down the road. Everyone there looked distracted or too busy to mind what's going on around them. To some of the people in the group it looked to be easy to slip through the busy streets and alleyways without being noticed, but most knew better. Some will notice them and might pay close attention to a group of humans walking through majority werewolf and minority human territory. They had to find a way to blend in and get to the human unit of the city where they can escape the city through the human territory. Yet, they faced another issue at the moment.

"I refuse to risk my life for her!" A woman nearly shouted as she pointed her bony finger toward Katherine. Katherine's heart raced a bit as the group was now focused on her.

"Ally, is right." Another woman said. "She is the Alpha Prime's mate. John, if we go down there to the city and they recognize her they will hand all of us over to the king. We will be killed."

"Yeah, we should leave her here." Another person said.

"Hey why don't you just back off of her?!" Dallas said as he moved to stand in front of Katherine. Katherine felt her cheeks burn in embarrassment as these people talked about her as if she wasn't standing there.

"Enough. No one is leaving anyone." John said. The group quieted, but still muttered doubt amongst them.

"Look enough." Katherine said, stepping in front of Dallas. Everyone stopped and this time was completely quiet. "Look, I know you're scared and I know you fear my presence here. Or the consequences of my presence." Katherine said looking around the group. "I want to get out of here just as much as you do, but standing around talking about the "what if" could as well get us caught. We are wasting precious time standing here. We need to go now." Katherine said. She was tired and ready to get out of this town. The longer they stayed there the more of a chance they could get captured again.

"She's right." John said stepping forward. "We need to get the human units. Now."

Katherine pulled the jacket closer to her body trying to keep herself warm from the night cool air. The jacket she wore now gave off a smoky smell. She wondered if the man who gave it to her smoked.

Before the group could enter the city Katherine was given a jacket and scarf in hopes to cover her scent. A hat was pulled down far on her head in hopes to keep her face hidden. Yet, she doubts anyone would be paying attention to her. She looked around the street and watched people minding their own business. Everyone in their own little world. This is good though. Everything is going good so far.

Right now Katherine is walking down the sidewalk of a busy street along with Dallas and Bethany. The group decided it would be best if they all split up. It would have looked suspicious if a big group of humans were walking together. Whenever someone walked passed them Katherine's heart speeded up a bit and her palms began to sweat. At this particular moment, the three of them passed a lycan who was rather tall which his height did intimidate them a bit. As they began to cross paths the man lifted his head and looked towards them for a moment. Katherine glanced at him and she could tell that he was curious, but it only lasted for a moment as he continued to walk away.

A sudden sigh came from Katherine's left. She looked to see it was Bethany with a now relaxed look on her face with a hand placed on her chest. "How much longer to the human units?" Bethany asked. "Are we lost because I feel like we have been walking a while?"

"Bethany we only have been walking for five minutes." Katherine replied. "Just keep calm."

"She's right, Bethany." Dallas chimed in.
