“Who cares about West or South or whatever it is!” Ephraim said.

“Ian, now, just go to find a place to hide. We’ll meet at dawn.” He yelled to Ian. “But how about the others?” Ian asked, while panting heavily because of running.

“I’ll bring the others back. Just go and find a safe place near the center of city. Secure the place!” Ephraim said that, when his whole body suddenly was covered by fur. Yes, nobody guessed wrong here. Ephraim shifted into a wolf. More like, a larger size of wolf. People who can turn into wolf here were called as beast. Beasts had a lot of transformations, but the most common transforms were wolf.

Basically, they could only turn into carnivores, so most alpha beasts are as strong as hell.

Ian watched Ephraim ran ahead of himself, then turned his head and went to a different direction of where Ephraim ran off.

He changed his pace, walk slowly to the narrow alley between two empty store not far from the street. After he checked that there’s no presence across the end of the alley, he walked quietly into it.

Not that he’s afraid of ambush, but if he can’t find a safe place, his whole pack will be in danger. Moreover, he’s an omega. If he can’t manage to being a dependable person to his whole pack, they will be suspicious of him.

The alley became more narrow when it’s close to the end. The air was so stuffy and there’s also a lot of moss at the alley’s wall. Ian tried to not feel disgusted by the stinking smell that’s made of some kind of plant he don’t know it’s species, but when he went until the end of the alley, he felt like he wants to throw up.

“Calm yourself, Ian, I know that you’re not good at stinky things but no, you can’t throw up just because of this-” He exhaled.

Ian had to get through some alley and street before he reached the lake (which was in the center of city).

He went through the alleys and wild trees (that surrounds the lake). After a few moments he walked in a quiet and slow pace, he reached the lake. Though the lake was in the center of city, it doesn’t look like a city lake. Honestly, it looks like a lake that was located in the middle of mountains that had a big forest.
