Big Bad Wolfie

Chapter 79: 78 - No Promises

The footsteps got closer fast, and I could tell some of them are on four feet.

The scent is jumbled and bloody, so I can't tell if it's hybrids along with warriors on our side, or just hybrids.

I really don't want to stick around and find out, but I can't just leave all these people.

I panted heavily in anxiety as I gazed at all of them, trying to figure out a solution. Something finally came to me when I saw Desi consoling I crying child.

My stomach churned at my own thoughts, and I immediately started wracking my brain for other options, but the approaching footsteps were reminder enough we didn't have time for such pleasantries.

I swallowed the painful lump in my throat and called out to Destiny, "Desi!"

She glanced over, her hand still rubbing the child's back comfortingly. I went to proceed but her wide, innocent eyes made me change my course.

I shook my head, angry at myself for even thinking of putting so much responsibility on her fifteen year old shoulders. It just made me think of myself two years ago, or even now, swimming in sky-high expectations I either kill myself to meet or never will. I can't do that to her.

"You," I called out to some random wolf with a child on his hip instead.

"I need you to lead all the children and pregnant women to the eastern hideout while I, and whoever is willing to help, distract the hybrids, do you know where it is?"

The man shook his head.

My eyebrows drew together. "How do you not know where your own hideouts are?" It came out more aggressively than I wanted it to, but we're wasting time having to move so slowly to figure this out.

The man looked alarmed and shrugged skittishly, "We learn the ones closest to us. The eastern hideout is all the way across town."

I sighed, "Does anyone know where it is?" I rushed out to the group.

"I do from taking inventory of the buildings," Destiny jumped up from her place kneeling down next to the child.

"Great," I nodded, "Desi will tell you," I said to the man.

I ignored the slight frown that dawned Desi's face at my response.

"So, what you have to do is--"

"Wait, I'm sorry. I don't have any sort of training," the man stopped me.

"That's alright, I'm assuming none of you do," I glanced around at the group.

Everyone with military or fighting training is already outside getting ready for the hybrids.
