A cool breeze blew through the woods, fall had just began in Nebraska, and Brian's pack was moving through the trees in a perfectly organized formation, running to meet another pack that lived in the area. This other pack was much smaller in number and they were also much weaker in comparison. They had never been a threat, thinking of them as such was laughable.
They were on their way to meet with the leaders of this pack because they had let Matt know that they had an offer for them. One downfall to Brian's pack was that the majority of them were male, and the few females they had were already spoken for, and this smaller pack was willing to sacrifice two of their girls in order to make a deal for their own safety.
Once they got to the clearing, Brian watched as Matt circled, snarling, probably angry that the other pack's leaders weren't here yet.
Natalie followed behind her pack as they made their way to the clearing in the woods. Her heart was racing, knowing that she was being traded for her people's safety. One on side she was honored to bring her people safety, but she couldn't help being terrified. This other pack had murdered countless of her people, that was part of the reason why their numbers were so small. They refused to let them grow.
When they got to the clearing, Natalie stayed close to Abigail, another girl in their pack that was being given to their enemy. She looked past their leaders, seeing one of the larger wolves in the other pack, Matt, pacing back and forth and snarling. She could tell he was angry, she wondered how long they had been waiting.
There wasn't any need for words, everyone here already knew what was to be done. Natalie trotted past the small group she had came with, crossing the large empty distance between both of the packs, looking over her shoulder to see Abigail following her. She knew they were both terrified, but they had to stay strong.
