Silver River pack, was once the biggest pack in the north, especially when Chaos killed almost all the male shifter from the Red Moon pack that caused all the female members and those, who survived the attack to blend with Anthony's pack.
However, after five months of their encountered with the member of The Hound and their battle, their number dwindled significantly and only left around two hundred of them.
They were forced to leave their land and moved to the eastern pack, joined forced with them to prepare a counter- attack against human.
It was true with what Anthony told Blue that it was best for Anne to not live with the shifters, since the hostility from them against human was very thick.
They would scoff in disgust whenever they talked about how human weight war against them.
Blue was sitting inside the car silently, staring at a small cake on her laps. Today was her birthday, she turned nine and she should enjoy it, yet there was no smile on her lips.
She had no one to share her joy with except her uncle, who treated her rather kindly, since the rest of the pack member, aside from the fighter of the pack, mostly was someone from the Red Moon pack, the very pack that Chaos had destroyed.
They knew about Blue and also aware who she was for Chaos, they even knew that this little girl was there to witness that massacre.
Therefore, there was no way they would treat her warmly and welcomed her among them. It could be said, not only she was a shifter that was despised by human, but she also gained hatred from her own kind…
"Why don't you eat?" Anthony asked his niece, who was staring at her cake. "You will not be able to taste it if you don't eat the cake, right?"
"I am full," Blue replied curtly. Her hair had grown so long and she needed to tie it on the top of her head and covered it with hat or her hoodie jacket, so it wouldn't attract much attention when they had to blend with human to go to somewhere.
It was impossible to avoid people completely, but when they were among them, they had to take extra precaution, so their identity wouldn't be exposed.
As long as they didn't encounter the member of The Hound, it was hard to tell if they were shifters for normal human. After all, they had spent centuries living with each other without them knowing their existence.
It was just now the situation had changed greatly.
"Blue…" Anthony took the cake away from her laps and held her hands. "Blue, why are you acting like this? It has been months and you know that it is a false hope to think that man will come to you."
Blue freed her hands from his grip and frowned at him. "They will come to get me again."
Anthony sighed deeply. He didn't know how to convince Blue in this matter, because she refused to listen to him, therefore, just like usual, Anthony would brush off this issue and talked about something else.
"We will move to new place, you will like it." Anthony started the engine of the car, as he mind- linked the member of his pack to get in the car, because they would start their journey again.
They were driving to the eastern pack with six group, which taking six different way, so it would be less suspicious for the people to see.
Blue didn't like it when she heard they would move away from their land, because with their number and lack of the member of the pack, it would be hard to protect their territory.
It was a great decision when a pack chose to blend with another pack, since two alphas in one pack was uncalled for.
"I don't want to go," Blue mumbled and this made Anthony heaved a sigh again. He looked at his niece and ruffled her hair.
"Put on your hoodie," he said.
"Why? We are inside the car," Blue protested. She was tired to be hid from the outside world. She used to like it when she let her hair fluttered in the wind and let her hair loose.
However now, when those Hounds were looking for her and specifically a little girl with white hair, she needed to cover it, if she didn't want to give away her identity.
"I don't want the pack member from the east pack know about it before I have a talk with their alpha. There is a few things that I need to take care of for a while." Anthony furrowed his brows. They needed to settle down a few things in their agreement.
After all, no matter how he beautified their current situation, it was them who was seeking a shelter on their pack.
Anthony's ego wouldn't allow him to leave their land, but if they stayed, it was only a matter of weeks before their people were being slaughtered.
Therefore, this decision needed to be taken, but even so, he didn't want to have so much to lose in this agreement with the other alpha, for them to agree to take them in.
===================
Jenny was curling her body, as she laid down on the floor, pain gnawed in her pale skin. She was dehydrated. Those people had not yet given her anything to eat or drink for three days straight.
The poor female shifter looked down to her buldging belly and caressed her unborn child, tears in her eyes, since she knew what would happen to the baby once she gave birth.
She was no longer useful for those filthy human and most likely would be disposed, but her baby… her baby would be their new 'toy', they would examine her baby like they did to her and treated the baby like a guinea pig…
