Two weeks slipped by in the blink of an eye. Alex fell into a routine which was pleasantly boring. He was beginning to appreciate the Chinese curse “may you live in interesting times”. His pack was still out tracking Xavo and Ignis mages and anyone else they came across. Alex spent most of his days enchanting and working on spells, attempting to compress the ones he had or to modify them to make something new. Sometimes he read the black runes, but that was a massive task and there was no way he was going to write a spell in it until he was sure he knew what he was doing.

His pack had leads on three more wards in various locations around Baxter. The map in Alex’s office now had three large vague circles on it, suggesting the area the ward might be in, but now they needed time to narrow down the locations exactly. Although Alex’s promises for alliance were a heavy burden, he felt they were finally catching up.

It was the first two weeks that Alex had without anyone dying or being kidnapped, or him nearly accidentally killing himself. The flyers they had been spreading around town had thus far had no effect that he could see, unless of course the peace was the outcome.

As he breathed in and out, smelling rust and dirt and dust and aging machinery, he let his senses expand trying to feel the network of werewolves spread throughout the territory.

He knew there were around eighty at the moment, spread across a few miles, hidden in abandoned homes or off on rooftops, keeping careful watch. Sometimes he could faintly feel the tendrils of connection, that elusive werewolf power.

It was no longer one thick strand like a rope that he had to grab at; with the werewolves spread about the place it was more like several fine strands of cotton, gently waving like jellyfish tentacles under water.

Taking hold of finer strands was far more difficult than when his pack was massed. He tried again but it slipped from his grasp. Alex finally gave up and opened his eyes, seeing a few of his pack gathered at the front of the factory, keeping an eye out for Henry. They’d sent him on a wild goose chase this morning from one location to the next. He was to come alone, and
