Broken Enigma (on hold)

Chapter ~ 2

Dillion Scott || The hunt

"A love sick puppy and an oblivious baboon, it's actually quite sickening to watch"
Addison's voice echoed in my mind, internally rolling my eyes. Caleb is a good friend of mine, one I have no intimate feelings for, nor have I ever had plus he is happily married to his high school sweetheart and mate Chelsea.

"A delusional female wolf trying to hunt, it's actually quite sad to watch" I scoffed back, managing to nip the skin on her back paw. Addison just laughed before putting her nose up catching the breeze, ear twitching as she listened to what's going on around her. After ten minutes of aimlessly walking around trying to find a sent, that I was in no way helping to find. Addison found something, yelping excitedly as she shot off. I followed quickly behind her.

I let her lead, concentrating more on scenting a path so I could track our way back. Noticing Addison's was more or less walking in circles, I decided to kick my limited tracking skills into gear, to help out, managing to catch the same sent trail that Addison was currently following. It was something unfamiliar from the past few years, usually the scent is a recognizable scent generally the cloth is drenched in perfume, to make it noticeably different from all the wolf scents.

"Addy" I called out warning, my stomach tightening at the feeling that something wasn't right. She stopped, her head swinging around to look at me curiously, tail wagging happily. The sent was definitely not perfume based so what ever it is, it was an animal - more so a small group. I'm almost certain that it's not wolf cause that is one of the easiest scents to pick up.

A hiss caught both of our attention followed by a low warning growl. "Addison beside me now. Slowly, no sudden movements" I ordered. Cougars were rare come across, I knew the basics when it came to dealing with them in human form, though I'm not sure the dynamic when it comes to wolf and cougars.

I internally smacked my self for not picking up on this earlier, I should of been more attentive and stopped Addison long before this point, or at least mentioned that the scent is perfume based not animal. I know for a fact dad is going to grill my ass for this, putting Addison in danger when I knew better. "Walk backwards slowly" I said, my eyes trained on the tan coloured cougar that had her hackles up, teeth baring.

There was more then one, I could smell more scents then the female in front of me, there was a strong male and another female scent which worried me slightly along with other weaker scents. Cougars are solitary animals most of the time, unless they are mating or have cubs, considering there two other strong scents I'm going to guess this a protective mama and the other scents are weaker but new so that could mean another cougar has walked passed recently or just really young kittens. Either way it's not looking good on my part.

The other two cougars that I could smell also came out of hiding, they weren't fully grown but still big enough to cause me some trouble, with them being younger they are a less cautious with things. Though as a werewolf we are bigger and stronger then a normal grey wolf, cougars still have advantages on in a one-to-one fight.

Usually the large cats don't bother because they are smart and wolves generally outnumber a lone cougar, but protective mamas with their teenage young can be another story, specially considering they out number us at the moment.

"Female Cougar, with two teenage young. I don't think they are going to let us leave with out a fight. I've got Addison with me. What do I do?" I voiced through the mind link that hopefully someone would be in range to hear me.

"Where are you?" Beta Johns voice echoed "Slow moments. Do not turn your back" Beta Johns instructed calmly, the only person in my head that wasn't yelling at me, and gave me advise which I appreciated.
