Chapter 93: Shadowfang Pack
: Shadowfang Pack
Drystan's POV
'Is this really the Shadowfang Pack?' I asked myself within my thoughts as I stared at the vast forest with the Shadowfang Pack guards patrolling the
area.
Although I have never been in the Shadowfang Pack before, I've heard rumors of what the infamous Shadowfang Pack looked like.
It was no secret that the Shadowfang Pack is medically and technologically advance. With their rare metals and their abundant natural resources, they have become the richest Pack among all of us which made me expect something more from them.
In my head I was thinking of elaborate systems of holographic projectors and advance camouflage systems to protect their Pack like something that came out of a futuristic science fiction novel.
The rumors also said that the Shadowfang Pack has a stunning blend of organic and technological elements. They have curving structures made of unique ebony-hued metal called Luminite and a sprawlingwork of state of the art treatment facilities, research laboratories, and training centers. However, none of those were true. All I could see was just old magnificent trees sprawling the forest and if I squint my eyes and look hard, I could only see modest thatched-roof cottages dotting the landscape that is no more opulent than what we have in our own Pack.
The Shadowfang Pack doesn't look as special as I had thought. It's just... normal.
Nova shot me a puzzled glance, clearly sharing my bewilderment. "This is it?" she murmured, eyeing our surroundings with obvious skepticism. Nova was so excited when I told her that we are not going to come back to our Pack, instead we are going to travel directly to the Shadowfang Pack so that Astrid could get the proper treatment that she needed.
Now that we have arrived, she looked a bit disappointed, but mostly in disbelief with what she saw.
"Are you sure we are at the right place?" Nova asked, voicing out his own unspoken doubts.
I only shrugged helplessly. "I'm sure we are at the right place," I answered her.
Just then, a voice rang out across the clearing.
"Welcome, guests of the Shadowfang Pack." A tall regal figure strode towards us, clad in a simple but elegant attire.
"Greetings... sir," I muttered unsurely since I don't know he was and what his position is.
However, my wolf could sense how high the level of power of his wolf is. He is intimidatingly powerful, but not as powerful as me.
He must be the Pack's gatekeeper or something. Theron must have placed his most powerful man on guard to scare away intruders.
"I am Beta Alek. Our Alpha has been waiting for your arrival, please follow me as I escort you to meet him," Beta Alek spoke with an air of regality.
I gulped. I was facing the Beta of the Shadowfang Pack, the whole time. No wonder why he looks like an imposing and enigmatic figure.
Nova and I looked at each other as Beta Alek turned around and walked inside without waiting for us.
I wasn't expecting that their Pack's Beta would even personally escort us in.
I was about to call Beta Alek and ask him what should we do about Astrid when six Rack Warriors arrived in a line with blank emotions on their faces in front of them was a man who is not wearing the same uniform as the guards.
I watched as they went pass us and approached the ambulance where Astrid is.
She had to travel in an ambulance because she's still unconscious. She also needed her IV fluids and she cannot be disconnected to a heart monitor.
"Alpha Drystan, come follow me. Let
them take care of Miss Astrid,” Beta
Alek called out to us when he
ned
around and saw that we didn't follow after him.
"Y-Yes Beta," I stuttered as I chased after him with Nova by my side.
I took one last look behind to check on Astrid and was assured to see that a Shadowfang Pack physician is checking on her health.
With the Shadowfang Pack's help, there's nothing I should worry about.
"What's with their outfit?" Nova asked me through the Pack link, making me look at her.
I was also thinking about it. The outfit of the Shadowfang Pack members are... strange. I couldn't even tell the material of the clothes that they were wearing.
Although their clothes have different
designs since they have different
positions. It wasn't anything I've ever seen before. Their outfits are
e
futuristic like it came out of science fiction novels.
It stands out in contrast to their humble Pack.
Nova and I stared curiously around us, taking in everything that we could see.
I could finally see the cottages more closely that were visible outside their Pack's borders.
Everyone was looking at us as we walk. Maybe they were surprised to see new faces.
No one dared to approach and talk to us.
"Where's your Packhouse?" I asked breaking the silence between us.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
"Packhouse?" Beta Alek questioned then laughs. "We don't have one."
My brows furrowed when I heard his answer. Does that mean they all live in humble cottages? Ever since we entered, we've seen nothing else but cottages.
"Our Alpha would never live in a little Packhouse," Alek adds which confuses me even more.
"Ah! Here it is!" Beta Alek said with a smile which I thought would look devious on him, but surprisingly it didn't. "Welcome to the central Pack!"
