Savannah’s POV
“This year the scheduled time is much earlier than usual but that doesn’t mean there will be any changes in rules. So don’t rush and take care of yourselves in the event” dad said during breakfast.
“The distance between Tiwan Forest and Snow Moon is not too far. It’s just a 2 hours ride. It’s better if you guys set off today early so you can reach before evening” mom said smiling.
“Tiwan Forest? The place where Hunting event takes place?” I frowned. I haven’t heard about it before.
“Yes, it was where the old tribe used to live. Besides this hunting is also a fun game which the old tribe used to play. But later it was made into a hunting event to keep the tradition” dad informed.
“I still wonder what kind of power this old tribe used to hold that their game even transformed into something like this” Tanea exclaimed.
“The old tribe is the very first generation of wolves. They chose the Tiwan as their home and resided there for many years. There are many more things related to them. I will tell you some other day” dad smiled.
“Now stop talking and eat more. Remember the foods in the event will be served by the organizers so be cautious before eating anything. Even though they took care of everything, the other pack who was there couldn’t be trusted. It’s better to stay alert” mom warned.
“Don’t worry mom, I will take care of it” Devak replied proudly.
Mom narrowed her eyes at him “yes, I have seen your powers” she mocked.
Tanea and I snickered while Devak let out a groan.
“Mom you still want to pick on me over that matter” he shook his head.
“Do you think I have such free time?” mom said, then ignored him completely. Devak looked at dad who lowered his head and drank his coffee without any words. I wanted to laugh. Devak was clearly looking for dad to help him but dad knows clearly that he will be in trouble if he sides with Devak. Afterall he loves mom more to side with Devak.
After the breakfast as we planned we packed our bags and headed outside. Dad and mom was already there waiting for us including some other pack members. We are only 5 people who’s going to attend this event presenting the Snow Moon pack. Me, Devak, Tanea, Jion and Shiny who is the Jion’s sister and also a good fighter.
“If you feel uncomfortable there then just head back. No need to think about anything” dad said looking at me.
I smiled “thanks dad” then hugged him.
“Take care darling” mom pulled me for a tight hug.
“What, all hugs and love for her? What about me mom?” Davak groaned.
“You are already big, what do you want?” Mom scolded him “go and hug your mate”
Tanea’s eyes widened before she blushed and looked away while Devak side glanced at her and smirked. I rolled my eyes. Really. My parents are something. They even tease like hell.
“Okay bye mom, dad” I waved my hand to them once we settled in the car.
“Have fun honey” mom said while dad pulled her to him, throwing his arm around her shoulder. I smiled and turned my head to others.
“I am excited already. Are there any games in the event?” Shiny exclaimed happily. Her eyes are shining like stars.
“There is but it’s not as easy as you think,” Jion replied.
“Easy games are too boring. I am glad that I won’t die with bore in there” Shiny rolled her eyes.
“Just don’t make trouble there and keep your horses under control,” Jion said in a warning tone.
“Come on bro” Shiny pouted before turning her head away.
Devak started the car and drove away from the pack house. I checked my phone but there’s no call from him. After dropping me home last night he left hurriedly saying he got some work. And then this sudden trip, I am not even able to meet him before leaving. I wanted to call him but what if he is at work? Won’t he get disturbed with my calls? Thinking that I gave up the idea of calling. I put back the phone in my pocket then stared out of the car.
This hunting is going to be fun right? But the answer is who knows.
Our journey stopped once the entrance of the Tiwan Forest came into view. The place was all green. But the entrance was beautifully designed with Emerald Green Arborvitae trees on each side like fences. At the end of the fences there was a pergola entrance way. The pergola was made of wood with some plants already growing on it. Though it looks simple, it’s beautiful.
“We need to enter by walking in there, ” Devak said once he stopped the engine. We got down from the car then pulled our bags out. We can see there’s also a few cars who just arrived.
“Wow, the entrance looks good” Shiny roamed her eyes around as she exclaimed excitedly.
“Truly” I nodded in agreement. This place looks scheduled but it’s peaceful, matching my liking.
“Let’s go” Devak said as he walked forward pulling Tanea with him. His one hand was holding the bag pack while the other one was holding Tanea’s wrist. We followed him into the Tiwan Forest.
I almost thought that Tiwan Forest was just a Jungle thing but after seeing the place myself I finally came to the conclusion that no, it’s not just a forest part but it has a large free space where many tents are already built for guests. When we reached inside a middle aged man walked towards us. He had a long beard and was wearing clothes like a monk. But I hardly believe he has any dealings with saints.
“Great to see you, Devak Lang,” he said in a welcoming tone.
“It’s long time Liang” Devak replied nodding lightly.
“These years the event time is earlier than usual. I hope it didn’t create any problem”
“Of course not” Devak shook his head “we are kind of more excited about it”
That man called Liang laughed, “glad to hear that. Your team is quite-” his gaze fell on me “she is?”
Devak side glanced at me “she is my sister Savannah”
“Oh, good, welcome to the Tiwan Forest. Your tent has been set on the North side” Liang pointed towards the white tent at the corner.
“Thank you” then we left Liang and headed towards our tent.
I looked around and found the tents are all different. I frowned, having never seen such arrangements before. “Why are there so many colourful tents?”
“Those colours represents which pack you belong” Tanea replied “Our pack is Snow Moon so they set up the white for us”
“And about that black?” I asked, gesturing towards the side.
Tanea smirked, “you don’t know?”
I shook my head “of course not”
“That’s…. For Dark Forest Pack” she laughed. I pursed my lips as I looked at her. What a shame that I don’t know what colour my mate’s pack represents. If she hadn’t said it out then I wouldn’t have known it either.
“Why so dark?” I asked again.
