forehead. He happened to notice his jeans on the ground and realized he didn't even remember taking them off.
                  “So now what?” Bo asked from behind them.
                  The two turned, a little embarrassed as they wondered how long he'd been standing there.
                  “Now, you two stay here and I'm going to go bait our trap. I'll be back and we'll finalize things. I hope we get this done today. I'll be back as soon as I can, watch my case, okay?” Damian said, putting his jeans in the suitcase and propping it against a tree. “Oh, I also need an article of clothing from each of you, just something with your scent.”
                  The two went into the bag and Bo handed him a bandanna while Candy handed him a thong. Damian decided not to make an issue, but Bo shot her a look and she just shrugged.
                  “Thanks. See you both soon,” Damian said. He waited a second to see if they needed anything else, then nodded to them and shifted to hawk form. He soared high into the sky as they watched him go, the clothing in his talons.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER FIVE
     
     
     
     
                  Damian was able to sense where the warmasters were located, so he headed as close to the area as possible. He was a little shocked to see how close they were. If he had known, he wouldn't have slept so soundly the night before. He found Sam and Gigi first, using the clothing to bait a trail directly back to the clearing. He'd been creating a trail since he left, so he didn't have much work to do. He'd used a spell to mask his own scent, so he wasn't worried about them noticing him. The two had been hanging around a nearby river, but once they caught the scent they were off like a shot.
                  The bears had been even closer, and while he wasn't as familiar with Horis and Indigo, he had no trouble identifying them. He had been able to tell the wolves were coming and put Alice on them to slow them down, but the bears had no such delay. Thankfully, it didn't seem to have mattered.
                  Damian did the same thing again, seeding the trail and then heading back once he was sure they'd gotten it. The wolves would move faster, but the bears were closer. He hoped they would arrive at exactly the same time. Now he had to get back to the clearing to wait for the fireworks.
     
     
                  Sam and Gigi shifted to full wolf form as they followed the trail. They knew they'd pick it up eventually, so they weren't surprised when they did. They both yelped back and forth as they ran through the woods, the excitement of the hunt almost overwhelming them. Soon they would taste blood, and they couldn't wait.
     
     
                  Horis had shifted to bear form and was tearing through the woods like a bulldozer. Indigo wasn't as eager, but had also shifted and was following the trail Horis made through the wilderness. She didn't even need to track the scent at this point, having only to follow the path Horis was making as his huge body ripped through the woods. Her duty as a warmaster was at odds with her friendship with Candy, but she was afraid duty would win out. It wasn't like she could stop Horis anyway. She hoped they wouldn't find the two, and she wouldn't have to worry about any of it. But she knew better.
     
     
                  “So what do we do when this is all over?” Bo asked. The two had mostly made small talk after Damian left, both of them avoiding anything serious for a while.
                  “We can decide that when the time comes, first we have to live through it,” Candy said.
                  “But we never said much about the future.”
                  “We haven't had time. They were going to kill us. We had to go. My dad won't even take my calls, and neither will any of your
