Harlow

"Are you serious Will!"

"Arlo if you would just let me expl-

"Is this why you didn't want me coming?" I questioned, she huffed and looked away but I yanked her shoulder back to look at me "You never even cared about my sleep schedule did you? You just wanted to blow up a fucking hospital?!"

"And so what If I did? I did it for a good reason"

"What reason could you possibly have?" She rolled her eyes "This is serious Willow, we don't pull big decisions like this without consulting the whole team".

"The team is full of pussies" She huffed.

"We're practical! And if you talked to us first you would understand why we didn't decide to just set fire to the whole thing" I ran a hand through my hair in frustration "That was the biggest hospital in the country Willow, medicine from there is used everywhere".

"Yeah to give to werewolves" She muttered bitterly.

"Not just werewolves, humans also depend on that medicine Willow" I said breathlessly "Many many humans, everywhere and you have just singlehandedly made them helpless"

This caught her attention "W-well they can always rebuild it"

"In how many years Willow?" I was practically yelling now "And what makes you think they'll continue providing medicine for humans now that you've done this? Shit even we steal our medical supplies from there".

She now looked significantly more guilty "Look I'm sorry Arlo, I just wanted to prove a point"

"Well, you sure fucking did" I threw my hands up in the air "You proved that I can't trust you, I'm never letting you go on a mission alone again!" I pointed at her "And even if you do I'll make sure you have a fucking shadow that'll babysit you the whole time since you clearly can't behave!".

"I'm sorry Harlow" She sniffed apologetically.

"No you're not, but you will be" I turned my eyes away from her "Get the fuck out of my office" She walked out muttering something underneath her breath "What was that?" I dared her to say some disrespectful shit to me.

"I said good look on your mission today"

I rolled my eyes "Yeah, that's what I thought bye".

I watched her stride out of my office, slamming the door slightly. I blew air out of my nose and leaned back into my chair. I brought my fingers up to my temple as I began to try to rub away my incoming migraine.

Fuck this is bad.

I didn't even have time to do damage control. I had to be in a truck heading to the Golden Claw pack in the next hour. Today we were doing another breakout but it was extra special today because unlike all the other times we were not going to burn down the factories afterwards.

We were going to paint them.

The plan was to get all (or as many) humans out and then vandalise the walls with our message. I'd realised that although we'd set chaos to the supernatural world we'd failed to show them what our message really was and this was the perfect opportunity to do it.

The Golden Claw pack was one of the biggest packs in the country, second only to the Royal Luna Pack but the difference was The Golden Claw pack ran the biggest human slave trades in the continent. With more human factories than any country on the planet.

It was sickening.

They were famous for their ill-treatment of humans, raping, forceful marking, humans on the daily being beaten to an inch of their lives and don't get me started on the human raids. It was inhumane. But then again they weren't human.

Today all of that would change. We were going to save all of them and bring them here. Things would change today. I could feel it.

"Okay, guys let's run over the mission one more time before we leave!"

I rounded them up into a group circle. "Who are our fake guards?" A group of people raised their hands. They were all dressed in the standard factory guard uniform and were doused head to toe in the smell of wet dog, it'd throw the werewolves off their scent and mess with their sense of smell, making them think they were one of us.

"Fake workers? Another groups hands flew into the air. They were in normal worker uniform, their makeup was done for them to look more tired and timid. The natural look for any human that worked in the factories. Some adorned fake bruises all over their arms to make it look more believable that they came by force.

"We seem to have everyone here so let's start" I gave them all a reassuring smile "The teams of guards and workers will enter the building first. Humans when you get in you must slip the notes you have warning the other humans about the rebellion around the room. Guards you are on knocking out duty," I explained.

"You all have little injections that are filled with enough wolfsbane to knock out twenty werewolves you can use to prick any wolves in the room, you must be quick as if they realize what is going on before they pass out, they will contact their buddies with mindlink and we're all fucked" I joked.

"Once the werewolves are passed out, all of you go around the room removing all chains and explaining the situation to the other humans. Remember they are all terrified so go easy on them kay?" A bunch of nods went around the room.

"Captain what will you be doing whilst we're doing this?" A voice asked. I shot them a smirk.

"I will be manoeuvring myself through the building, knocking out as many guards as I can before going to the power supply room," I told them "I will then turn off the CCTV cameras and the power" I leaned closer "This is the serious part so listen up, once the power gets turned off you get them out. And by them I mean every single human in the building must leave once the lights get turned off".

"You will have a fifteen-minute headstart to get yourself and all the other humans into the trucks before I hit the alarm that will alert the pack we are here".

This had a wave of confusion flash on everyone's faces "Why the alarm? you ask?" I grinned "I and my fellow artists here," I said gesturing to my friends "Will be leaving a bit of artwork on the walls for the wolves to see." My face dropped again "But that does not mean you should wait for us, once your truck is full and I mean only once your truck is filled to the brim you're gone, you hear me?"

"Yes Ma'am!" Went a chorus of voices.

"Great, let's roll up and head out!"

I watched as the room emptied as people loaded themselves into the trucks that we stole from a human factory a few weeks back. "Arlo!" I turned back to see Will jogging up to me.

I raised an eyebrow "Second thoughts about staying?" I asked teasingly. Will had taken it upon herself to sit this one out, she was really excited to try her experiments on the wolves waiting for her in the basement.

"Hell no, I'm tired as fuck" She snorted. I rolled my eyes, yeah blowing up one of our best resources must have really worn you down. "Just wanted to wish you good luck".

"I remember how this went down last time" I reminded her.

She put her hands in the air defensively "No I'm serious this time, scouts honour" 

"You were never a scout"

It was her turn to roll her eyes as she yanked me into a hug "Shut up and bring it in" She held me tighter than she ever had which made a feeling form in the pit of my stomach "Don't die okay?".

"If I do, I'll walk it off" I joked making her shove me away. "And don't think you're off the hook, I'm still going to deal with you when I'm back" I warned her but she didn't seem to take it seriously.

"Whatever you say" She smiled.
