Chapter 48: Nearer
“The hybrids need to be stopped before they get anywhere close to the borders” Edgar said as they all sat in the round table deliberating on how they would defeat Skylar.
“How do we intend to do that?” Claudia said with a serious expression on her face.
“Elaine has a plan” Alexander said looking at his woman with a sense if pride written all over his face.
“What’s this plan? Please share it with us all” Claudia said as she anticipated what was about to come out of her mouth, she longed to know how much of a smart woman Sapphire was.
“When I blacked out, I met with my parents” she said and paused for a while to keep her emotions in check.
“I asked for a bit of knowledge on how to defeat the hybrids and my father mentioned only one thing, fire. If we can get fire close enough to hybrids, we can end this war before it even begins” Sapphire said .
“That’s going to be a little difficult” Claudia said after exhausting all possible way to do that but there was none.
“It’s difficult but not impossible” Sapphire replied.
“If you think this plan of yours gives us a shot at killing these creatures, we should take it” Claudia replied.
“Yes My Lady” they all replied simultaneously.
“Then let the preparations begin, we will not rest till Skylar is on his knees begging for mercy” Claudia said with such bravery that fueled the confidence of everyone in the room.
As the days passed, they began their preparations for the impending war, Skylar’s army drew closer and they knew it was only a matter if time before they came storming through their borders.
The knowledge of the hybrids' vulnerability to fire became their main priority and the center of their strategy, they made fuels that could go off if they came in contact with only a spark, they gathered other resources, trained their fighters, and made weapons specifically designed to harness the element of fire.
Elaine shared her plan with her surviving pack members and the pack members of the white stone pack. She instilled a sense of purpose in their hearts and gave them the encouragement to want to fight for their homes and the future of their children, who will have no world to live in if this one falls.
Edgar, stood by her side as they planned and strategized, he kept on encouraging her and pushed her to do more because he knew she was more capable than she could ever imagine. His experience and knowledge of the wars complemented Elaine’spower.
Together, they became the driving force behind the resistance, Claudia stepped back and allowed them to handle all preparations because she was certain that they wouldn’t fail her and their respective packs
They reached out to the green stone pack, and despite how difficult it was they were able to close a deal with them. Randall was very sly and naïve so they kept close watch on him to prevent him from switching sides whenever Skylar comes to fill his head with fake promises.
The time of the war drew nearer and the fear amongst the wolves grew stronger but in all that they were determined, they were ready to fight for their pack till the last breath.
Skylar was drawing near and they needed to brace themselves for whatever trick Skylar and Meredith may have up their sleeves.
