Denver, Colorado
Dillon stood next to his assistant Colin, along with his Beta, Lee, and his other top two wolves. Dalton, and Aidan. They were just about to board the plane when they felt it.
“Wadim said this would come,” Dillon explained, softly.
Lee looked over to his Alpha; the line of his mouth was tight giving his face a severe appearance.
“We’ve never been called before Dillon, in fact, though we’ve learned about the moon stone in our history, it’s never been used.”
“Well, it’s being used now,” Aidan spoke up and though he was usually the most light hearted of Dillon's wolves, tonight, with the call of the moon and the information Dillon had shared, he was as focused and intense as his pack mates.
As their ticket numbers were called to board the plane, Dillon looked each of his wolves in their eyes, waiting as one by one they lowered them.
“Remember what I told you. We were created for such a time as this. The Great Luna needs us, our pack mates need us, the world needs us, and so we go.”
They spoke as one, when they answered their Alpha.
“For the pack.”

Vratsa Province, Bulgaria
Adrianna watched Victor pack quickly and efficiently. She felt the pull, the call of the moon stone, but Victor didn’t want her to go, not after what had happened at The Gathering.
“Are you sure?” She asked for the hundredth time.
“Luna,” Victor stopped his packing and walked over to his mate. “We are called and gathered as one pack for one reason.”
“War,” Adrianna answered. “Yes, I know that. I’m an Alpha Victor, you know I can fight.”
“I don’t doubt it for a second.” He smiled at her and the adoration he felt for her showed in his eyes. “But, I’m taking Andrei, Sergey, and Pavel. Leaving the fourth in charge, and you are more dominant than he. I need you to stay and lead our pack. Keep them safe for us. That is what would help me the most.” He took her hands in his and pulled them to his chest. “You are strong and I don’t keep you here to protect you from harm. I keep you here to protect the pack.”
Adrianna leaned forward and kissed her mate. Before she pulled back, she whispered against his lips. “For the pack.”

Seraph answered his cell on the first ring.
“Seraph,” his voice was clipped, as he answered.
“You are in charge of Decebel’s pack as his fourth,” Skender began speaking without introducing himself.
“Yes,” Seraph answered though Skender hadn’t been asking.
“You will need to come here. The others are on their way.”
Seraph’s words came out in a hushed voice. “All of them?”
“The call has been sent. Be here as soon as possible. Just you. Set up whoever is supposed to be in charge after you and let them know what is going on.”
“For the pack.” Seraph spoke without thinking, before ending the call.
