The Light vs The Dark (book 1 of 3)

Rage

Radagast and Laila found Zahra still in her wolf form not moving.

“Laila we must hurry four wolves are closing in fast from two directions. I have you know I can’t run with my back and knees out of whack. So, hurry you and do your tinky thing.”

Laila rolled her eyes and did two different spells one to heal only the deadly wounds enough to where she will survive. The second one was a vison Zahra was having.

          Zahra Prov.

I am not ready to be Luna if I can’t even protect myself who will even want a Luna that weak. Well it’s no use thinking of this now I’m dead anyway.

‘Zahra come, this away’, a tiny voice tells me. 

With my voice shaking I replied to the tiny whisper, ‘Who…who’s there?’

‘Come and you will see.’

 I followed the voice that kept calling my name. There was a bright light, but as soon as my eyes adjusted, I saw Kotori laying on the sand on a beach with a small fairy and an extremely old man with white underwear and pink hearts? I shake my head. Oh, great Zahra your imagining this why? As I thought that statement to myself, I slowly walk up to Kotori body and I’m blinded by my own tears. Blood her blood everywhere. So this is true me and Kotori are both dead. I land on my knees bursting into tears, but then I heard the smooth sweet voice of the fairy.

‘Zahra your bloodline will change the world for the better. There is evil among us that will destroy our existence including all humans. Your bloodline is our only hope please save us. If you ever need help just think about me and I’ll be there.’

 Before my sight turns into darkness once again, I heard her say, ‘Zonier efiea nigh.’

 The dream, or what I call a bloody nightmare disappears.

                   Johns prov.

          As we rounded the corner, we saw a warlock and fairy next to Zahra. A couple of seconds later I see Luna, Tara’s wolf. She growled deep while advancing slowly not wanting to hurt the warlock and fairy. They both back away slowly and left in peace. Before they disappeared the warlock, which looked like a homeless man, turns and says,

 “She is weak her test has now begun. She will survive if her blood is strong…after all she is our last hope.”

 He turns back and vanishes into the forest. Tara nodded to the old man’s back right then I knew something was kept a secret from the whole pack. Everyone rushes to Zahra side; Rex can hear Kotori whimper weakly from pain which was a good sign. Tara quickly shifted back to her human form behind a huge boulder and turned to Jay and Mike she commands,

 “Stay in wolf form I linked Sam to bring the SUV to the beach we will take the back roads stay hidden just in case some else decides to test us. John can you take care of Zahra while she’s in wolf-form?”

I nodded shifted back and put my clothes on and rushed back to her side. As I look at her, I blame myself for not protecting her more, even though she’s not by blood I consider her my sister, but she doesn’t know that. Sam arrived with the SUV it was black with dark tented windows silver rims a backup camera and cameras that look behind us and in front of us because humans are crazy when they get behind the wheel. I carefully lifted her up and gently set her in the back seat. I lifted her head and sat it on my lap. Tara got in the front seat and Sam drove to the pack doctors.

 “her pulse is really weak. I’m talking with the doctor now she’s getting her staff prepared.”, I informed Tara. Alice she’s one of the best docs I know

Rex said, John Kotori says that the fairy used a spell on her to help stop the blood flow she will be okay no need to panic.

 Rex was pacing I was so antsy to get Zahra to the doctor. We arrived in about ten minutes and the first person you see is one pissed off alpha. Rex whimpers and backs out of my mine. The atmosphere around Jack is so intense it feels like he can kill us just by thinking it.

Tara got out of the vehicle and when to Jack while staring at me carrying Zahra to the doctor then I heard her whisper.

 “Laila was there she help stop the bleeding along with your guardian Radagast.”

“What are you sure it was him he’s like 10,00 years old!?!?”

 When I heard Jack say that I thought, na there’s no way the old geezer is that old.

                   Jacks prov.

          I can’t stand still someone was after my daughter and I thought I had it under control. There’s no other option I must contact the White moon pack. Alice entered the waiting room and said,

 “Alpha here is her exam from me”

 I looked at the charts:

·         loss of blood

·         broken ribs

·          puncture wholes in lungs

·         Ripped muscles and tissue in right arm

·         Infection

·         Broken color bone and ripped muscles in the neck.

I got angry I handed the papers to the doctor and walked out of the hospital I needed to run for a while Ash was growing restless wanting to kill his deep growl in my head,

Someone hurt little one and they must pay with their lives.

 Mike went with me I ran for a few hours destroying some trees along the way.

 “When do I contact the White Moon pack alpha?” Mike asked me through mind link.

“NOW I don’t want to see anyone else except for him make sure we have a meeting spot as usual I don’t want him here.”

Mike immediately bowed, “Of course, it will be the same spot as always.”

 There was a cabin on top of a hill where my territory and his connect. Ryder was a good ally even though his atmosphere is ruthless. He has been known to take apart a whole pack he. Even though he is 19 years old he’s so powerful that any and all fear him. I have heard stories about how he tore apart a wolf with just his human hands and that he torchers his pack for not following their pack rules.

I went to my office to do some paperwork before I went to visit Zahra knock knock

“Come in Mike and tell me some good news”

Mike opens the door and bows to me and I motioned for him to have a seat is the black leather seat with arm rests. There’s another one that matches it on the left side.

My desk, if it was clean, is a dark oak wood desk and a small red lamp sits on the right corner of the desk behind me is a bay window with white curtains and red ropes to tie it so sun light can shine through warming the office up.

 Mike replies, “Yes, alpha at the cabin in ten minutes, and he wants to talk about other things as well.”

The way mike said the last part doesn’t sound too good, but I can’t bail out now we already set up a meeting. I nodded my head.

“Okay I want Sam and Jay to come with me you and John stay here and guard the territory when I am gone.”

“Yes sir”

He gets up and leaves I follow behind him to visit Zahra I got good news that she was awake but still sick from the infection the rouge gave her. The doctor reassured me that she will make 100% recover with therapy because of all the ripped muscles and broken bones.

                   Zahra’s prov.

          I heard a knock on my door I knew it was dad I could feel him being anchoes to see how I am doing.

“Come in”, my voice was raspy from the lack of water.

  It was hard to talk without hurting so most of my communications are through the mind link. Doc said that was best.

“What did the doctor say about using your voice young lady.”, my father said in a stern tone.

          “I’m sorry father I will use mind link from now on.”

He looked sad, “I’m sorry too I didn’t mean to sound pissed.”

He sighs and plops down on the chair on my left side. Mom was sleeping on the right side where there was a futon so she could stay with me to keep me company.

“I guess you want answers your mother told me you questioned about my wellbeing and why I’m so stressed.”

          “I want to prove to you that I will be ready for the tittle Luna when the time comes. I can’t be ready if I don’t know how to become a leader.”

He sighed and then states, “That is true there are some very bad people that want to do some very bad things to you and as your father I want to protect you from this as your mother wanted it…”

          I sat quietly as he told me this and that Laila is a fairy that is to be my guardian like a warlock named Radagast was his guardian since birth.  

“Alpha we are ready its time.”, said Sam as he pokes his head through the door.

 Dad nods at him then Sam leaves. My dad turned to me afraid to hurt me he lightly kissed my forehead and turned and walked out.

                   Ryder prov.

          I took my beta with me to see Jack besides my pack, his pack is the second largest and the second most powerful pack around America, so for him to seek a meeting at this place something is wrong very wrong.

Eric came to me and said, “All clear alpha, Jack is two minutes out.”

          “Good stay out here and guard property.”

          “As you wish.” He then turns and leaves.

          I walk inside the cabin sitting down at the only table in there. It’s all pine wood there wasn’t much to look at because we want others to think it was a rundown abandoned cabin. There was a lamp on the table for light all the windows where covered with black curtains.

 I felt Jacks presents behind me. He was angry and scared, and for an alpha with his strength this is something that is not good.

 “You know you could put some color in this place.”

“Heh, yea but then it’s just going to be dirty just like those black curtains.” Jack nods in the direction of the run-down black curtains that have wholes from where mice have gnawed on it.

 “I respect you Ryder I really do but I don’t have time for small talk.”

I can tell by the way he walked he was raging and having a hard time controlling Ash.

 “What did you want to discuss Jack?” I motioned for him to sit as I always did. He put his hands-on top of the table and he was ringing them.

 “Someone almost ripped my daughter to pieces.” his wolf tried to take control.

 Watch him he’s dangerous Ryder my wolf, Fenrir told me.

I simply replied, don’t worry I am and pushed him in the back of my mind.

I then asked, “Do you know who it is?”

 Apparently, that was the wrong question. Ash spoke taking full control now,

 “f**k no do you think I would be asking for your help if I did.”

 That pissed of Fenrir now I was have a hard time controlling him. I had to calm Fenrir by saying, Dude relax Fenrir he’s not trying to take it out on us he’s just upset because someone hurt his only child.

 I hear an irritated growl, fine but he pulls this s**t again and I’m killing him.

 Fenrir let me have full control again and I looked in those black orbs of Ash who was trying to take over and simply said,

“Look I’m here to help but I can also walk away if you start talking to me with a little more respect, I will help you. I know your pissed, but you need to control it.”

 Ash was still in control there was a deep dark growl, “You better watch your tone with me someone hurt little one.”

 I stood up and backed away from the table because Ash was getting restless, he wanted to murder me like I did it. Fenrir starts roaring,

LET ME TAKE OVER we will end this quickly, Fenrir growled.

I demanded; no Fenrir Jack will take full control just give him time.

 Jack finally too control after five minutes of fighting Ash to calm down. “I’m sorry Ryder today is not a good day for me at all. Anyway, I need help tracking down who is behind this attack. I only have two great trackers and they are over worked already.”

 I thought for a moment it would be good to keep him as an ally. “I’ll help I would also like to meet this “little one” of yours one day.”

 When I said that he was on his guard something about her seemed special and I wanted to know why.

With a stiff body he finally spoke, “We will discuss that later when I can get more control of Ash’s temper.”

 “Agreed.”

 We stood up shook hands and parted our own way.

                   Zahra’s Prov.

          John came to visit me every day he brought flowers and sat down and played a board game with me. Tomorrow I start my physical therapy it’s been three months sense the rouges attacked in broad daylight. Sense then they tried to attack us in our own territory, but my dad prepared the pack of what’s to come. There was a strange smell like wolves from another pack was here.

 I looked at my mother who was reading her book. “Mom?”

“Yes sweetie?”

 “Why is there another pack here?”

With a shocked look she simply replied, “They are here for the treaty your dad has made to their pack leader. It’s something your dad can explain easier.”

She looks up from her book at me to see if that was enough of an answer. My face looks and tells her that I don’t believe her, but I’ll let it slide. In case you are wondering about my schoolwork, don’t worry, Sam drives to the school and picks up all my assignments so I’m not behind. After three months of therapy I was fee to go full speed. John and I were walking around the pack house as we walked, I see new faces everywhere.

 “John, I have an important question and I trust you will answer.”

 “Oh boy you already sound like your Luna.” His statement threw me off guard.

“Trust me if I was Luna you would be my beta.” I looked at him as we slowed to a stop.

He looks at me with thought, “You really mean that?”

“Yes, I thought about it and I don’t really trust anyone except you to have my back like your dad has my dad’s back.”

 “Wow Zahra that really means a lot to me. You really are taking it serious now, what happened to the easy-going Zahra I once knew?”

 “When I was attacked and I almost died I had a dream of a fairy and a warlock, that doesn’t know how to patch his robe. They spoke to me saying that I was their only hope of survival and I saw kotori laying on the beach covered in blood. Then it hit me I’ve been so foolish for years and reckless. That could have been you or mom or anyone in the pack. When she said those words, I thought of the pack and when I take over, I am the only hope they see to have a future.”

John stood there taking all I said into consideration. Then he bowed his head, “Zahra Asena Blood when you become Luna, I will accept you as Luna and I will help you protect the pack as your beta.”

We started walking again and it was quiet, so john spoke to keep the silence at bay to easy my mind of what happened to me at the beach.

 “So, you wanted to ask me something?”

 “Ah yes do you know why this other pack is here they are all knew I’ve counted ten so far.”

 “Oh, they are for extra protection their alpha gave them orders to stay in this territory and hunt someone down.” He then leans closer to my ear, “If you ask me, I don’t want to meet this person they are hunting down.”

I laughed, “You watch to many movies is it because all these people are looking for this one particular person. That this person is the upmost powerful evil of all?”

“No comment my la-”

A messenger interrupts John, “Zahra your father requests your presence.”

 I looked at john and then back at the messenger I walked to him and I let Kotori handle that conversation interrupter.

“YOU shall apologize to me and my dear friend for interrupting.”

I never heard Kotoris voice so strong like my fathers and full of authority. He scrambled to his knees and apologized over and over. Kotori laughed in my head and I took over and smiled.

Then with a polite voice, “Thank you for your message and your apology I hope in the near future you will remember this lesson.”

“Ye- yes ma ma’am.”

 “Good…. come john we must go see my father.”

John and I walked to the front door and I see Sam Jay guarding it.

I looked at them both, “Umm guys the front door does it really need guarding?”

“No Zahra we are waiting for you follow us.”

 As soon as Sam said that Jay opened the door and all four of us walked inside. When you enter the house to the left you see the entertainment room it usually has a lot of sweaty guys playing Xbox on the 75-inch Samsung Curved tv. The couch is a black leather and the curtains are white with red rope to tie them away front the window so natural light can take over. On the right side is the kitchen and then you have the stairs for the second floor in front of the entrance door.

 Before we walked to the stairs, I hear whispers. One of the guys who was watching two others playing a racing game whispered to the one next to him.

 “that must be the mystery woman alpha was talking about. So, she’s the daughter of this alpha.”

 “Dude I think she can hear you so shut up. Besides we are not supposed to talk about her anyway.”

 As I started to walk again, I stated my thoughts out loud to them, so they are aware that talking about me is not the best especially in our territory.

 “Talking about someone in a hushed tone is not the best idea. Especially if you don’t know then.”

 The game was paused and all eyes where on me. They bowed in unison and the two guys said sorry. I accepted the apology and I walked upstairs. The second floor contains my dad’s office and bedrooms we are talking about ten to fifteen master bedrooms all designed the same way except for mine and my parent’s rooms.

 Sam opens the door to the office and the first thing I see is a girl my age sitting down in one of the chairs in front of the desk.
