Game of Destiny Chapter 23-1 It was time for the big hide and seek tournament and I could feel the excitement in the air , We had decided to make it into an all day event . The day started with the pups ' competition . Anyone between a toddler and the age of fifteen got ten minutes to find their hiding spot in the forest . There were five starting points spread out over the pack land . The warriors of the pack had been of a real attack , there would enlisted as trackers . It was not an equal match , but the aim was to prepare for a future attack . In case who wasn't a warrior to have their turn . Then everyone would be no mercy . After the pup event , it was time for anyone above fifteen who gather and have a BBQ before the highlight of the day . The warriors would hide and the five of us in the top tier would track them . I was at one of the starting points for the pups and watched as parent were giving advice before the pups would set off . " Amie , are you going to be tracking me ? " Cadence asked . " You know she isn't , Mari , his older sister , told him . " I have to save my strength for when I'm tracking the warriors , " 1 to him . " Okay . I'm going to be so good at this . My dad has told me everything about how to find the best place to hide and mom told me how to mask my scent , " Cadence said . " I know you will do great . You too Mari , " I told them and they hurried over to the starting point . " I think he has his eyes set on you , " Finlay chuckled as he walked up to me . " Who ? " " Cadence , who else ? Don't tell me you already have a horde of men courting you , " he teased me . " Come on , he is six . And you have spent too much time with your aunt . There are no men coming after me , " I said as I rolled my eyes . " The little guy is playing the long game , you wait and see . The day he turns eighteen he will shou proclaim his undying love . " " Give me a break , he's a good little wolf . He will hold out for his mate , " I said . " Are you ready for the day ? " Finlay asked , changing subjects . " I am . I'm looking forward to it , " I told him truthfully . .on your doorstep and out " Then we should get to the fun part , " he said . " Everyone , get ready to start the first pup cup of hide and seek ! " he then called and also sent in the pack mindlink to the other sites . " Are all the pups ready to go ? " he asked and got a loud ' yes ' from the pups around us , and the same reply via the mindlink . " You will have a ten minutes ' head start . Ready ! Set ! Go ! " The pups went crazy and set off in all directions . Some giggling or screaming in excitement . Some of the older ones had a firm determination that told me they were taking this seriously . We all stood waiting and listening as the ten minutes ticked by . " Warriors , get ready ! Go ! " Finlay called out and groups of warriors set off all over the pack land . It didn't take long until we heard the first giggling coming from the forest . A warrior was walking out of the trees with a young pup on his shoulders . " She was hiding in a pile of leaves . I would have missed her if it weren't for the giggling , " the warrior told her parents as they came to collect the still giggling little girl . No one could help but to smile as the warrior set off into the woods again and the girl excitedly told her parents about the twelve minutes they had been apart . " So adorable , " I told Finlay . " Very , " he agreed with a huge smile . He walked over to the family , talked a little to the girl and gave her a pat on the head , and then talked to the parents before returning . " I suggested some training on keeping quiet , " he said . 1/2 Chapter 23-1 You did not , " I said , laughings " Maybe not . But it's not ૧ bad idea . " " You sighed . might be right . right . But it breaks my heart someone to explain to young why need they to stay quiet in of leaves . " Finley a pile Chapter Comments 5 POST COMMENT NOW 1 < SHARE 2/2 Game of Destiny Chapter 23-2 " Yeah . I wish we could let the pups be pups . It's unfair to the pack that they need to suffer through this . We aren't a low - ranking pack , he agreed . " It will be better after the games , they are only a little over five year away . We just need to hang in that long and train so we won't end up in the same situation again . " " Right . " We kept looking as warriors brought back pups from all over the forest . Cadence was among the last to be brought back , and I walked over to congratulate him . Mari was the second to last to be found . " It must run in the family. Well done , " I said as she got a hug from her parents . " Thank you . It was kind of fun and the tips mom and dad gave were really good , " she told me . " I'm looking forward to seeing you two in the next event , " I said to their parents . Sandra and Jake stuttered they would do their best . It took half an hour to reorganise everything and prepare for the grownups to get ready . Finlay sent them off and this time there was no giggling . Everyone was focused . " This will be interesting ," Finlay said to me . I hummed in agreement as I watched the warrior get ready . When Finlay gave the go to start tracking they went off into the woods in hot pursuit . It took longer this time for the first pack member to be found . As they all were adults , or at least teenagers , they made their way back to the starting point without a warrior to escort them . This made the warriors more effective , as they didn't need to stop . Half an hour later , only one pack member was unaccounted for . It was Jake , Cadence's dad . " I'm impressed , " I said to Finlay as time ticked on without him being caught . " I agree . Who knew ? " " He works in the IT - department , right ? " I asked . " Yes , he's one of our best technicians . I didn't know he had hidden talents . " " This might prove to be a useful exercise in more ways than one . " " Never doubted it , " Finlay said , and tried to ruffle my hair . I quickly ducked out of his reach . " Hey , watch it , Alpha man . No one messes with the hair , " I growled . Finlay burst out laughing . " Did you just growl at me , red ? " he asked . He sounded amused , so I knew he hadn't taken it the wrong way . " You bet your ass I did . Don't mess with the hair . It's messy as it is . My uncle always messed with it , I hate it , " I told him . He continued to chuckle , and I knew he had found a new way of teasing me . Truth be told , I didn't mind it as much as I pretended to . Sure , it was a pain in the ass to make it look decent after it had been messed with . But I liked the relaxed and friendly bickering the two of us had . I just needed to find some way I could retaliate if he managed to mess with my hair . I made a mental note to check with Martin and Sam . Finally , a warrior sent out a mindlink to say they had found Jake . A moment later , the warriors and Jake came back to the starting point . His family swamped Jake and he looked prouder than I had ever seen him . Finlay and I walked over to him . " Congratulations , that was impressive , " Finlay told him and shook Jake's hand . " Thank you , Alpha . " " Good job keeping away from the warriors for so long . Care to share your secret to success ? " I asked . 1/2 Chapter 23-2 It wasn't anything fancy , Jake said . " He kept moving around and he is good at hiding his tracks . That made it challenging to find him , " Roland , the warrior , said . " When we thought we had tracked him down , he had moved on to the next spot . Tricky . " Jake looked a little sheepish . " It didn't say anything in the rules that you needed to stay in one spot , " he defended himself . " It didn't . Well spotted , " Finlay said . He looked almost as pleased as and burgers waiting ! " Finlay then called out and the pack all joined pack members came to congratulate him . ake . " Let's all head back to the firepit . There will be hotdogs to eat . The mood was high and Jake got a lot of attention as Chapter Comments 05 POST COMMENT NOW Game of Destiny Chapter 23-3 " I was thinking we should talk to Take and see if he is open to do some hide and seek training with the younger pups , " I said to Finlay and Martin . They both looked up from their food . " That is a good idea . The pups could use some training and Jake will be able to do it the right way for them to see it as fun , " Martin agreed . " I like it . I will talk to him , " Finlay said . " I also think we should discuss if he should be considered for joining the games , " I continued . " I was thinking the same , " Finlay told us . " He thought outside the box . We should keep an eye on him during the pack trainings and Sam are arranging , " Martin said to me . I nodded . After we had eaten , it was time for the event that everyone was looking forward to . It was time for the warriors to hide and us to find them . As Finlay , Martin , Sam , Medow and I gathered by the fire pit , the warriors got ready . This time we would start at the same place . " I don't know about this , " Medow told me . She so nervous . " It'll be fine . It's just for a bit of fun , " I said . I'm not sure I see the fun in this . What if I can't find a single one ? " " You just stay with me , baby . We'll work as a team , " Sam told her . " What do you say , red ? Want to team up ? " Finlay asked . " In your dreams . This is one of my favourite games . I'm going to find the most warriors of us all , " I told him . The others laughed . " You are on , " Marin said . " I'm the Alpha , you know I'll be the best , " Finlay bragged . I just huffed . Me and my wolf we had in this . It was my first time having a wolf during hide and seek and I felt my both in agreement , we would give all Weber 112k ? fused this game . It had been a favourite pastime in my old pack , ont mirrored back from her . I hadn't good at it back then , despite not having a my wolf honing in on the prey , When it came , we wolf . With my wolf helping me , I knew I would be hard to beat . The warriors set off and I could f which was rapidly disappearing into the forest . Time stood still as we both waited for the signal to give didn't hesitate . My wolf added her own speed to mine as we rushed forward . Her focus was on a scent both knew and we left the others behind as we followed it . I had always been quick on my feet and good at sneaking around. With the help of my wolf , these abilities became even more pronounced . My wolf was a good tracker . It didn't take her long to track down the first warrior . To my satisfaction I was the first one to call out in the pack mindlink I had found a warrior . Finlay was only a minute behind me and Medow was the next one . I found my second warrior before Martin and Sam had found their first . When all warriors had been found , Finlay and I had found the same amount . He had found the last one and I agreed that made him the winner of our little game . " You have a talent for tracking . Sure you don't want to become a warrior ? " Sam asked when we were all back eating dinner . " I'm sure . I won't do well with training five days a week , " I told him . " If she became a warrior , who would I trick into helping me in the kitchen ? " Medow said to her mate . at the pack house , " Fine . Forget I asked , " he said . The day had been fun , and it had given us the information we needed to improve the protection of the pack . SHARE
