Connor's POV.

This armor really is heavy. Thankfully we have enhanced strength in our wolf forms but that doesn't make it any less heavy. Amber is currently strapping the armor to my torso. Rebecca is in front of me feeling how soft the fur on my head is.

Amber had taken some time away from her project to make sure I was safe. She then walked over with the helmet. I stood still for her as she put the helmet on me. It had little holes for my ears to go through and it fit perfectly on my wolves head. She then had Rebecca help her strap it down.

It all honesty, it itches like crazy where the straps are, but I'd rather that then get shot. Amber then kissed my nose. " Be careful. " she said, a slight order in her voice.

I huffed in response. ' Yes Ma'am. ' I said over our mind link.

Alpha Lucas would be leading this mission seeing as he was the one to find the traps first. Alpha Benjamin and my father are on team 2 and will be the ones dismantling the traps and placing them in a wagon.

We're unsure of how many traps we will find but we will be as prepared as we can. Once we have 15 people in team 1 and 2 with armor on, we start to make our way to the woods. Our overall plan is to clear the outside path around the entire pack and then go in from there. The humans will have nowhere to go.

The second we make it to the taller grass our snouts are aimed towards the ground and we start to sniff. All of us allowing our more wolf like instincts to take over. Right away I catch a strong scent of silver. It's everywhere in this grass along with many unrecognizable scents.

When I get to the first most strongest spot of silver I can find, I gently move the grass with my nose and spot what it is. This trap is close to a tree and it's basically a snare used for capturing small prey that has been made even bigger to capture wolves our size. I make a noise and my father who is close by walks up and I motion where it is.

" A large snare. Getting caught in that could freak your leg or if it's strong enough it could remove whatever limb gets caught in it. Very dangerous. Good find Connor. " he did what needed to be done to take the trap down. He was wearing gloves too so he doesn't burn his hands.

Each wolf was paired up with a member from team two. I happened to get paired up with my father. We continue to look for traps. My father walking behind me so as to not step in anything.

He's keeping a lookout though in case anyone makes a move. Everyone's being extra vigilant today. I continue to sniff out the silver traps and after we collect a few more snares and two bear traps I almost step into a hole. I take a few steps back to steady myself and then look more closely.

" What do you see Connor?" Asked my father.

' I'm not sure yet. The ground dipped down though. " I said over mind link.

" What do you think is down there? " he wondered out loud as I moved the grass to look closer.

I see the shine of something silver and I can smell it very strongly but I'm not sure what it is. I bite the grass and rip it away to get a clearer view.

That's when I see there's dirt that has been recently dug. I take my paw and lightly dig up the dirt. That's when I come across the most horrifying discovery.

I stand tall and let out a commanding howl for everything to stop. Everyone froze and all heads turned towards me. ' What is it Connor?" Asked Alpha Lucas.

" Land mines. They put down land mines. I smell silver but even if they weren't silver, a land kind would kill us too. " I said.

Eyes widened. " We're not equipped to handle explosives. " said a guard off to the side.

" What do we do?" Asked another guard.

" Best thing is to keep doing what we're doing. Sniff them out but be extra careful so we don't press the button. If you are too scared I won't force you to help. You can go back and get us a second wagon, the toughest we have so we can place the explosives in it. " I said.

Two in wolf form and two in human form went to go get the wagon. My father carefully dug loose to land mine and we stared at it for a moment.

" They really are trying to kill us in any way they can." Said my father.

" It's honestly terrifying. " said Alpha Benjamin as he took a look at the explosive.

I had all the wolves around me take a good whiff of everything this explosive was made out of so they could know exactly what it was when they arrived at it. When the next wagon appeared we got back to work.

By the time we got halfway through the entire packs border line both wagons were full of traps. We are currently waiting for more wagons to arrive after dropping these few off.

Amber is currently looking up a number of someone who knows how to disarm bombs. She's keeping them kept far away from the pack house just in case.

That's when I hear it. The heavy breathing. I look to the side and see a older lady standing there holding a shotgun. She had somehow snuck up behind my father and had the gun pressed against the back of his neck.

She looked just as panicked at my father did. I growled at her but didn't dare move. " Please don't make me have to shoot you." She practically begged.

" Ma'am. Lower the gun. Shooting me won't do either of us any good. " said my father.

" If you keep on doing what you are now. They'll kill me. I have to stop you somehow. " she said.

That's when I noticed she was all bruised and shaking from the pain she must be in. " Please lower the gun. " said Alpha Benjamin.

" If you are one of them, why would they kill you?" Asked my father gently.

The gun was shaking in her hands.  " I don't want to shoot you, but you need to stop digging up the traps. Please?!" She begged.

" We can't ma'am. We have people to protect, children that just want to live their lives. " said my father.

I slowly started to put things together. ' Amber, have Rebecca show you what her caretaker looked like please? Do it quickly.  ' I said over mind link.

A few moments passed of silence and then I received a mental image of what Rebecca's caretaker looked like. It was an exact match to this woman here.

I created a mind link between myself and the woman. " Rebecca, please put down the gun?" I asked.

She didn't flinch, she seemed like she was used to someone talking to her in her mind. She looked at me though. " How do you know my name?" She asked.

" I know a very sweet little girl who loved you so much that she named herself after you. " I said.

Her eyes widened. Her mouth opened in shock and more tears built in her eyes. " You found her. " she said.

" She's safe. I promise. Please, lower the weapon and we can take you to her. I know she would love to see you again. " I said.

" I would really love to it I physically cannot lower this gun. They have me in sight. If I don't get you to stop then they'll kill me. " she said.

" Not if I have anything to say about it. Ma'am, are you willing to trust me?" Asked my father.

" What?" She asked.

" If we can get you back alive will you be willing to hear us out? We aren't evil beings." I said.

" If and only if you can get me out alive. I will gladly turn sides. " she said.

My father moved with lightning speed and wrapped her in a bear hug. Using his body and the armor on him as protecting for her. A second later a snot rang out and a loud clang was heard followed by a grunt of pain from my father.

His armor had taken a shot from a gun. Gasps were heard. This all happened just as the wagons had arrived. " Those in armor get on the wagons now. Everyone else head for the pack house. We're done here today. " I ordered.

We rushed to do as told. No other shot was taken and we took off with everyone back to the pack house. We arrived after a good thirty minutes to see Amber there waiting for us. Rebecca was there as well.

The second my father helped the older lady down from the wagon she rushed to Rebecca's side. The gun being dropped to the ground.

Rebecca took off and hugged her. Amber smiled at the sight of them reuniting. Rebecca's eyes were glowing and she must me talking to the older lady.

She laughed. " Sounds likes you've been having a good time here. I'm so happy for you. " she said.

Rebecca grinned and rushed back over to Amber and pulled her forward by her hand. Her eyes glowing again. The ladies eyes widened and she looked at Amber.

" You, the Luna of this pack have been looking after her all this time?" She asked.

" Yes. My mate and I have been. She never leaves our side. " said Amber.

Rebecca grinned and looked at me. She walked up and started to remove the strap for the head piece. Amber helped and they got me out of the armor.

I then rushed away and shifted and changed before walking back. Rebecca immediately walked up to me and took me by the hand to lead me to her. " This is the lady who always took care of me. " said Rebecca. Her eyes glowing.

" Though I don't approve of the way we met. I'm glad Rebecca gets to see you again. " I said.

" My full name is Rebecca Mayberry. You may call me may for short. " said May.

" That's a nice name. I'm Connor and this is Amber. " I said.

She looked from me to t my father. " I almost liked your father. I'm so sorry. " she said.

" Let's get you inside just in case. It's not safe out here. " said Amber.

She nodded and together we all walked inside into the safety of the pack house.
