Little Bola, frightened out of her wits, darted away from the girl in fear. Her mother shielded her and stared got into a defensive stance, grunting at the girl with a murderous look in her eye. Katie went totally still and turned her hand to show the rhino the stone that had been focused on her child. Ashley reached forward and forced a slow half shift onto the girl. The animal-like appearance calmed the rhino a bit...

“Forgive the human for his stupidity. I will be sure to reprimand him,” Katie whispered.

The rhino stared at her for a moment, the students along with the guide went silent, watching the scene before them. With her back turned to the car, the students hadn’t noticed the transformation that had taken hold of the girl while she stood still in her staring contest with the rhino.

The rhino, as though understanding the intentions of the werewolf before her, turned away and walked off with her young one. Katie sighed in relief... she was sure the rhino would have done its best to flip the car on its side if she hadn’t stepped in. Ashley retreated, “Paula says you better keep the humans away from her daughter...”

“That would be for the best,” Katie replied, walking back to the car and getting in through the entrance. The students remained quiet as she made her way to the obvious cause of this awkward environment. When she reached the boy, the slingshot was out of sight... One look from the hunter and the boy produced it from his backpack. Katie held the slingshot in one hand and shattered it before handing it back to the boy.

The boy gasped in horror and stared between the broken slingshot and the person that had just shattered it, “Do you have any idea how much this cost?”

“Far more than your life and the lives of everyone here...” Katie replied and waited patiently for the boy to take it from her. ‘Umm, Katie...’

‘Don’t remind me, Ashley...’ Katie sighed, letting her scowl fall into a look of kindness.

.....

“Having fun has never been a bad thing, but be mindful of how you do it,” Katie told the boy before walking away from him. She took her seat at the back once more... “Is the tour going to continue or not?”

“Oh yeah as I was saying, you got lucky to witness one of the last remaining families of the Great White rhino in existence. It is said that they were hunted for sport a long time ago and their numbers dwindled. They live a long time and take even longer to procreate which made it easy for their numbers to rapidly fall during the time that they were hunted.

How could we know for sure though... This is information from a time that we know nothing about in this day and age... We might just be guessing about just like the dinosaurs we’ve seen in books,” the woman joked, lifting the mood.

The car started back up and started moving. Katie’s mind wouldn’t let go of her experiences in the wild. She was connected to it in more ways than she wanted to admit and it raised so many questions within her. It offered her new ways to keep everyone safe, but she also had no idea how anything worked and that paused a large problem for her.

“So... you care about humans?” a voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She turned to notice a smirking Wyatt on her right.

“I was a hunter before getting into this Moon Goddess’ Chosen business. Of course, I care about humans,” she replied.

“Don’t you think you’ll have to make a choice when the time comes?” he asked her.

“Nope, I don’t think so. I would like the same for the rest of the werewolves. Humans are meant to be a part of our lives just as much as we are a part of theirs. It’s the only way to unite the two races and keep conflict from ever starting up in between them,” Katie explained.

“You speak like someone who spends most of her time dreaming of the impossible and cooking up worlds filled with rainbows and butterflies,” Wyatt replied.

“Now wouldn’t that be something?” Katie mused.

“Huh...” he snapped his head in her direction, a look of shock on his face, “I was kidding...”

“So was I,” she replied with a smirk on her face. Wyatt sighed, ‘What’s her deal?’

Cole groaned once again... boredom tearing at his every body cell... He was stuck in the one car that didn’t have his mate in it and he was absolutely bored... He yawned and looked about the car. Jason was trying his best to ignore his alpha’s bored mood. It mirrored his own, but he tried his best to keep that to himself. Trevor was in their carriage along with Liam, one of the troublemakers that had been assigned to help the hunters in protecting them.

Cole hadn’t heard from Katie in a while and it was worrying him. His wolf was eventually able to calm him down. The wolves, being able to feel the bond much stronger than their human parts, could convey a few messages sometimes without their human parts knowing a thing about it. Katie was doing just fine, as his wolf had convinced him. He finally came to the conclusion that he would talk to her the next time they met. He could tell there was something going on with her that she wasn’t mentioning.

“Hey, we need to do something before the boredom decides we don’t deserve to live,” Jason tried.

“What do you have in mind?” the royal asked him.

“Well, we could talk about something I’ve wanted to ask you. I thought the beta alpha transformation would only happen after you had become king of Lycaon,” Jason asked him in a hushed tone.

“Yeah, that is what I said. What does that have to do with anything?” Cole asked him as though nothing he was saying was a need to panic.

“Well, what’s happening now? You know your father is the king. Why would we be transforming into beta alphas this early,” the wolf asked him.

“Well, I thought you knew about my father’s situation. I normally have to heal him once a month...” Cole paused.

“Yeah, I still can’t believe you go through that, but you don’t lie and that’s what you chose to tell us that day we asked you. What’s that got to do with anything?”

“As time went on, my father was starting to get weaker much faster. At first, the injury was in his pancreas alone and caused him a lot of pain, but that was all it was and I could heal it to the point where it was painless... However, the more I healed him, the faster the infection spread. The body didn’t continue to fight the infection that had taken his pancreas and it began to spread. Once a month turned into twice a month and soon thrice... it wouldn’t end. So when we left, he made me promise to only go back once I’d found her and made sure she was fine with coming back with us... It’s taking longer than I would have thought.”

“You make it sound like you don’t want to go and save him,” Jason grumbled.

“I have been talking to him on the phone. Beta Alpha Raymond Benjamin helps me out every time I want to talk to him. The man is as stubborn as he’s always been. The doctor doesn’t give me any good news when I ask him for the bright side of this whole ordeal,” Cole continued.

“What about the rogues that are gathering in Lycaon? Benjamin told me about those ones as well. They seem to be aiming for the palace, but they aren’t making a move,” Jason asked.

“I have heard of those ones as well and hunters have been deployed to keep the palace safe,” Cole replied.

“I would be a little bit comfortable if I knew the Perfect hunter was there as well,” Jason sighed.

“Well, last I checked, he was also called to help and he accepted the call,” Cole replied.

“Huh, who could have thought the Lycaon palace would be the first to see the famous, Thorrin Chase?” Jason smirked.

“Yeah... I only wish I could see the monster in action. Someone who’s so powerful they say he doesn’t compare to any of the other Mighty Warriors,” Cole mused. His boredom was starting to dissipate as he relived the days of his childhood.

His best friends were present on the day they were told about the Four Mighty warriors. They were all impressive, however, talk of the fourth and most powerful of all of them had them dropping their jaws and fighting to imagine what he was capable of. It was impossible to believe anything they were told and disregarded most of it... for a time.

“If you could only look to your right, you will see one of the few remaining Great White Rhinos. It was said that they were hunted for the sport back in the past, however, since they live long, take a long time to mature and also have one offspring at a time, their numbers quickly dwindled quickly and now only barely scrape by,” the guide’s voice broke through to the two boys.

“Huh, I don’t think we have one of those in the reserve back home,” Jason said thoughtfully.

“No, we don’t have one of those monsters,” Cole responded, taking in the gigantic creature that was easily the same height as their bus back at the hotel, “I wonder what it would be like if the goddess had given us the power to shift into a creature other than a werewolf. Could have been a tiger, lion or even that rhino...”

Jason turned to look at his friend who wouldn’t take his eyes off the creature. “You have the weirdest thoughts, my friend...”

“We’ll be meeting the rest of the cars at the beach for lunch and take the scenic route back to the hotel. There will be a bonfire... as promised, in the night to mark the end of the day,” the mentioned meeting of the other cars was the only thing that made it to Cole’s mind. That and the look the rhino had given him as they drove past it... almost as though it saw something in him or maybe because it could tell he was a werewolf.

‘I must really be having a lucky day...’ the rhino mumbled before going back to grazing, even though it was understood by a single soul in the car.
