NovelEnglishChapter 0630 Enzo With the decision made for half of us to go back to the supernatural realm to attend the Moon Goddess Festival, I was in the tunnels, preparing sthings and going over plans with Luke and Matt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWe would never just leave Mountainview unprotected, not when we had taken on the role of the silent protectors of this place, and so plans had to be set in place before half of us could leave.
The tunnels had becour headquarters since we had beca pack-it was a private place that not many people knew about, and so it was the perfect place for us to hold meetings about keeping Mountainview space. And when I wasn't playing hockey, it was where I spent a lot of my spare time.
Ever since that burglar escaped, we had doubled down on our security not just in the tunnels, but all around Mountainview. Matt and sof the others had set up a few trail cameras around town, which I was flipping through now.
Of course, there was nothing out of the ordinary, just trees and the occasional animal.

"Hey, Enzo," Luke's voice said, catching my attention. "You have a minute?" I glanced at him and nodded. "Yeah. What's up?" Luke crossed the room and sat down in the chair across from my desk before he spoke." We've been having stroubling sightings around Mountainview lately," he began. "There have been reports of a large yellow- eyed wolf roaming the area." I furrowed my brow, my concem growing. "Yellow-eyed wolf? Have there been any incidents? Any trouble caused?" Luke shook his head. "No, not really," he replied. "It's been mostly sightings from a distance- on the roads, in the forests, that kind of thing. But the yellow eyes are distinctive, and it's always alone." I thought for a moment, mulling over the information. "Could it be a werewolf?" Luke shrugged. "It's possible. We can't say for sure at this point. We've tried tracking it down, but it seems to be elusive, like it's always staying one step ahead." I sighed, feeling a sense of unease settle in my chest. "I don't like the sound of this," I admitted. "After that burglar managed to escape and Edward's possible return, I don't want to take any risks." Luke nodded in agreement. "That's why I wanted to bring it to your attention. I think we need to stay vigilant, especially with so many of us leaving." I thought about it for a moment before making a decision. "Alright," I said firmly. "While we're gone, have your scouts keep an eye out for this wolf. When we get back in a couple of days, we'll organize a thorough search of the local areas. We need to make sure our territory is secure." Luke looked relieved at my words. "Thanks, Enzo. I appreciate your understanding." I clapped a hand on his shoulder. "Of course, Luke. We're a pack, and we look out for each other. Now, is there anything else you need to tell me?" Luke hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Are you sure you want to go back to the werewolf realm for a party, knowing.. this?" "We're not going just for fun, Luke," I said. "We need to present ourselves in the werewolf realm as a real pack. It's for our future." Luke looked a bit perturbed, but he nodded. "Alright. I trust your judgment. Just... don't lose sight of what's really important here, alright?" "I won't, Luke. Trust me."
Luke nodded again, then paused, biting his lip. "I was actually thinking I'd stay here because of this," he said, his voice taking on a more somber tone. "I hope you don't mind. I figure I should stay with my scouts, and besides... I'm just the talking skeleton, eh?" I furrowed my brow. "Luke, you're one of us. What makes you say that?" He shrugged. "Nothing, really. It's just... Well, I've never really fit in in the supernatural realm. I .. I like it better here." "Is that so?"
"Yeah," Luke replied, leaning back in his chair. "I spent way too long being an undead servent to srich assholes there. Here, I'm my own person."
Luke's words gavepause.
Between the racism toward humans, toward h our pack not being seen as legitimate, and now this, it madewonder... How much did our appearance in the werewolf realm really matter?
