*Your POV*
The beast was standing right in front of me.
I couldn't tell at the moment what it was called exactly, the only thing I could do was look straight into its eyes.
The adrenaline inside me was starting to raise up, I could feel the beast's cold breath on me - it was smelling me.
I heard the girls talking to me, but I couldn't understand what exactly they were saying. I slowly raised my hand towards them as a signal to not do anything. I didn't feel like I was in danger, I felt that the enormous creature in front of me was trying to say something. But what?
I raised my hand slowly once again, but this time towards the beast.

*Author's POV*
As the other girls were looking at Meyra shocked, she was simply petting the beast and doing some kind of mental contact with it. The next thing that happens - the creature bows down in front of the girl and transforms into a bird, a cat.

*Solar's POV*
I couldn't believe the sight in front of me. It wasn't a Behemoth, but a familiar. But it had an owner, a familiar has always someone controlling it somewhere near.

Someone is watching us!

While the other girls were looking at Mey petting now a small creature, a small spirit actually, it looked like a cat. I looked around and spotted something, more precisely someone - a wolf, whose fur seemed almost silver. I swear he would shine under the moonlight. Of course it's not a normal wolf, nothing in this forest is normal. I thought.

It was a werewolf

It was a werewolf. A male. I couldn't hear his thoughts, though. Something was blocking me. Probably a warlock, a very skilled and powerful one.

I decided to connect myself with Moon who was not so far away from me. So that our dear 'spy' couldn't hear.

"Moon, don't look at me, stay where you are." As I spoke, Moon jumped a little bit. Apparently I scared her.
"Don't do that without warning. Now I'll have a headache." She replied with an annoyed tone. I couldn't help but giggle a little bit.
"Sorry, but now to business. Someone is watching us. The grand appearance of this familiar is not a coincidence, it's all planned. Most probably to test us." I said seriously. "And don't you dare look around, Moon!" I added.
"Okay. Who is it? Did you see them?" She said.
"A werewolf, he is alone. And I can't read him, apparently he's under some kind of protection. A great warlock worked hard there." I could hear her snorting as soon as I ended my explanation.

Meanwhile

*Taiyo's POV*
Yesterday we sensed someone entered the forest. But it's wasn't just someone, we all felt a strong presence, an alpha.
Our alpha wasn't that happy, though. It was his territory, and having another alpha here wasn't that pleasant for him.
Our warlock also felt two sources of powerful magic - an object and a person. So we decided to check on our 'visitors' and find out more about them.

Unexpectedly, it was a group of girls. I've seen one of them before, moreover, I saved her that night.

Nevermid.. Shake it off now. I said to myself.

Tae sent his familiar with me, so that it could test the intruders.
Surprisingly, their reflexes where incredible, they weren't humans, for sure.
I could smell a warlock, a vampire and three werewolves, but one of them wasn't quite entire. Something was blocking her.

But as the familiar approached the girl behind the tree, he stopped.
And transformed into a fucking cat.
And she was even petting him.

What the actual fuck? I cursed so hard in my mind. Who is that girl? I asked myself.

I could feel that one of them noticed me. I wasn't hiding, though. She was trying to enter my mind, apparently a warlock. But Jin prepared me. Guess I have to go back and discuss with the rest of the pack what should we do about these girls.

I called Roru back and he disappeared.

*Your POV*
The cat disappeared right in front of me. I couldn't help but pout - it was so cute.
I turned to face the girls. They were discussing something important, judging by their serious expressions. Expect Lisa, of course. Solar was calm, as always.

I approached them quickly.
"What's with those faces?" I asked.
"Apparently, someone was pretending to be Master Fu and was testing us." Lisa said sarcastically.
Moon glared at Lisa.
"Who?" I rised my left eyebrow.
"I believe it's the Lightning pack" Solar answered calmly "Apparently, they don't like intruders on their territory. So they sent a familiar to test us." She added calmly.
"You mean, that beast aka cute little thing was a test?? I almost shit myself, and that was just a TEST???" I raised both my eyebrows and raised my voice.
"Watch your language, young lady!" Solar warned me, always like a mom.
"I'm sorry." I took a deep breath to calm myself down. "So why are they testing us?" I asked.
"I believe it's because we are on their territory, and they want to know about our intentions and who we are." Rosé explained.
"Why can't they just talk?" I rolled my eyes.
"I think it was cool. We had the opportunity to test our skills in a real attack. But what happened with you, Mey? I thought you feared nothing" Lisa mocked me.
"Shut up, Lis." I slapped her arm.
"Okay girls, let's continue our journey, we still have to find somewhere to spend the night." Moon called us while grabbing her bag.

We all did the same, grabbing our bags that where hidden in a bush.

When we where all prepared to keep on, Moon asked the question that made all of us trigger.






"Solar, where is the map?"
