Bastian was washing away the blood on his hands at the pond nearby while West and Kirk tied up the two rogues to a tree. They had just finished fighting the rogues that had ambushed them. The two warlocks were already killed by Li Jie. And to prevent the former from emitting any distress signal to their companions, Paxon decided to burn them; every part of them, leaving no traces behind. As for the other dead rogues, they decided to leave them for some beasts to eat or to rot.
Earlier after their fight, they had encountered more dead bodies. But to their shock and dismay, it belonged to the humans. What surprised and confused them more was the fact that their eyes and hearts were gouged out, leaving a huge hole in their chests.
They tried to search around the area for more clues but they could not find any. Though, they suspected that the rogues must have done it since they could see the claw marks on the bodies. Even so, they too tried to look for the missing hearts and eyeballs, yet there was none. This has baffled them.
Hence why Paxon told them to let the bodies of the rogues to rot since they deserve that kind of death.
Omorose was putting on her clothes when Hamish approached her with a cloak on his hand. She c.o.c.ked an eyebrow in surprise when she noticed that Hamish did not even blush at her semi-n.a.k.e.dness. With her shirt nearly transparent due to the wetness, she stroked a finger down the young shifter's arm and asked flirtatiously, "What do you think of my body?"
With a poker face, he just handed her the cloak.
He was about to leave her when she looked down at the cloak with a frown and then at Hamish. She tilted her head and asked, "What's this?"
"Dewei told me to give you this," he said, with his hands behind his back. "He thought you might have felt cold after falling into the water."
[Warning! In this chapter, there will be gore, blood and death!]
When they got ambushed by the rogues and warlocks, before Omorose could shift into her wolf counterpart, Hielo, she was thrown into the water. She immediately took off her clothes and shifted. It was about to fight in the water, against one of the rogues. It was not a quick battle as it was hard to fight there. The water only made their attacks felt heavy due to the water they absorbed in their fur. Although it was a close battle where Hielo nearly got swiped by the rogue's claws, it soon went straight to the latter's downfall.
Hielo fell down in the water to avoid the attack but managed to kick its hind leg at the rogue's leg. When the latter fell down in the water, Hielo quickly got up and smashed the former's leg. Feeling the bones cracking underneath its paws, Hielo grabbed the broken leg of the rogue and swung it out and the latter fell onto land.
Before the rogue could recover, Hielo had already jumped on top of the former and slammed its face to the side. Ignoring the screaming from below, using its claws, it dug through the rogue's temple, killing it. Smiling at the squishy feeling it felt from its claws, Hielo pulled out and flicked the liquid away.
Nearby, Skoll, which was Paxon's wolf, laughed when it saw Hielo on its killing spree. Hielo was still the same as before. It likes to kill its enemies by digging through their temples because it likes the squishy feeling it felt from fluid in the brain. Sickening but it was Hielo's signature.
Skoll itself was actually fighting against two shifters on its own. After it had managed to kill them in mere minutes, it went to help its other pack mates.
Kaius, which was Hamish's werewolf, at that time, was supporting Fraser, who was also in his werewolf form, named Tamaska. Both were fighting one of the rogues as well. Since it was Kaius' first time fighting in Hamish's body, it hasn't gotten used to it and could only support. Tamaska helped to weaken the rogue by constantly avoiding its attack while landing an attack. Noticing that the rogue was getting tired, Tamaska kicked it towards Kaius, who immediately grabbed it by the neck and slammed it down to the ground. Kaius then puts it on a sleeper hold, rendering it unconcious, since they need to bring it back to the pack for interrogations.
Although they were outnumbered but the victory was theirs.

Omorose let out a small smile and said thank you. She then walked over to Paxon, who was standing near the unconscious tied rogues. He was talking with Dewei, his arms crossed across his chest and both wearing a serious look on their faces.
Sensing that someone was approaching them, the two stopped talking and turned around to find Omorose standing behind them.
"So, what's the plan now?" she asked, frowning down at the unconscious rogues. Both West and Kirk stood, sandwiching them. They also had left rogues' mouths wide open so that they would not commit suicide.
Paxon tilted his head and said, "We'll be bringing them to our pack house and we will be interrogating them. You can join in if you want to."
Omorose squinted her dark brown eyes at him and frowned deeply. "No, WE will be bringing them to OUR pack house," she hissed, stressing on the words, 'we' and 'our'. Her Alpha specifically told her to work with the Cesaro pack to deal with the rogue sightings. And although he did not mention about bringing the rogues back verbally, it was without any questions asked that she should just bring them along.
Paxon raised his head and looked silently down at her.
Before Omorose could argue more, Dewei interjected, "It's alright, Omorose. We'll join them at their pack house. I have already notified Alpha in regards to this."
She whirled around to face Dewei, her eyes narrowed in suspicion. "When did you notify the Alpha?" she asked.
"Just a few seconds ago," he answered casually.
Omorose sighed. "Next time, please discuss it with me first," she scolded. She knew that Dewei probably took it upon himself because he wanted to go to the Cesaro pack and meet up with their researcher. It was one of the main reasons as to why he wanted to join the team.
Dewei just nodded.
Omorose let out another sigh, rubbing her forehead in resignation. She then turned to Paxon and said, "Alright. We'll take up on your offer and meet you there."
He nodded. And then turned to call the others to get ready to depart.
Hamish was standing not too far away from them, with Bastian standing beside him. The two of them were watching their superiors talking.
Bastian chuckled. "Seems like it's our turn to host," he commented.
Hamish pushed his glasses up his nose and agreed, "Seems like it." He had never been to Port Robson Bay so this would be an interesting visit.
He then sighed, thinking how the other shifters in the other teams did on their mission.
-----
Noaz sighed as he leaned back against the car seat. The four of them had just left the mountainous range and were on their way back to their hometown.
Reginald was tapping his long and lean fingers on the open window of the car as he drove. Whereas Paccia was sitting quietly at the passenger seat, looking out of the window. Although she was there physically, it seems like her mind was somewhere else.
Dex was quiet as well. His leg was still hurting but not so much as before. He was really disappointed in himself for the failure that he had shown during the fight. He could not even bring himself to play with his phone as his mind recalled back on what had happened at the forest.
Surprisingly, Erick too was quiet, which was unlike himself. Noaz, who was sitting near him, could not tell what he was thinking. But his glabellar was more pronounced as he looked out the window. He seemed to be fuming silently.
In short, everyone was eerily quiet in the car. All of them were in their own thoughts. But one thing that could be said the same for all of them was that there were feelings of disappointment and regrets in their minds. Regrets because they did not work hard to persuade the Cairin Alpha. Disappointment because they felt like they had failed in this mission.
They were about to arrive at their hometown when Noaz received a text message on his phone. Looking down at his phone, his eyes widened.
