Episode ONE
The leaves rustle as the cold winds blew, adding an extra chill to the already dense air. Happiness filled in his hearts after Gabriel married his wife lady Astrid and now she’s with child, the one who will continue the bloodline as an alpha. He had prayed endless nights to the moon goddess to grant him just that one gift and after many moons, his prayers were answered.
The priestess roamed around the luna in a pentagonal form while enchanting unintelligible words that sounded more like grunting while the three mages all stood at a triangle point humming a sadistic harmony. Just like the sirens songs, while pleasing to the ears sends chills down the spine of anyone who could hears it.
The moon reflecting on her skin as she paused, in a moment flash it felt like the goddess herself was present as the eyes of the priestess began glowing white, her jet black hair cascading down her back like the streams of Amargosa and soon she began to speak. “ For once there were two before the great collide and for the safety of our existence, I decided best to separate the two to be one’s, fated to find themselves through the power of the mate bond for when they do, the Lycan circle will be complete and stronger they will be. This child is to fulfil the prophecy of the Urklain, the red moon. He would be the greatest alpha to ever exist after one of our own, Demarcus whose reign ended over two hundred years ago. He will not be without difficulties for the road is treacherous and only with the help of his mate will he be able to achieve this feat. Fear not my subjects, the mate I speak of is yet to be born and her mother is unaware of being with child. Alpha Vortex’s new luna and true mate will bring forth this child on the eighth moon, at the end of the spring and her wolf would be unlike any other”.
Fear in the eyes and soul when the moon passed as the priestess dropped to the ground, the mages seized humming and all turned in trepidation to see their alpha as he gazed in disbelief and rage. He let out an angry howl, furious to capacity as he made intense scratches on the trees and destroyed things he could lay his claws on.
“WHY!!!!!!!!, must it be my greatest enemy and rival?! even the moon goddess herself knows of this enmity between the alpha of the shadow fangs pack and we the dark hunter pack, and now my son’s true mate is coming from his bloodline!!!!!!, I should have wiped them away when I had the CHANCE!!!!”.
His body heaved up and down, he’s eyes turned red. He knew the moon goddess would not like his aversion but he couldn’t bring himself to accept what he just heard, “ High Priestess” luna Vortex called out with eyes full of despair and anger, “there must be something we can do about this true mate. My son cannot be fated to that cursed pack, if our pack should hear of this then another war is inevitable; I will not live to see my son be mated to one of those unhinged wolves''.
“HIGH PRIESTESS!!” , Gabriel yelled and took her by the neck, “ there must be a way to change my son’s fate!!, you are the most powerful of all priestesses serving the moon goddess!!!!”
“ Unhand me!, Alpha Gabriel and control yourself!!!!!” using her powers to push him away from her forcefully…..“ You may be the alpha but I am of the Goddess and it is she I serve!, the only way to change his fate is to change his mate or If he’s mate was never born then the mark of his true mate will be moved to another pack and family. Although I must warn against what you are intending to do, the moon Goddess does not take lightly to her words being thwarted”. You’ve been warned!
And with that she walks away leaving the alpha and his Luna in the middle of their sacred woods. On the general mind link, he contacts his beta and omega. “Ronan and Lucian, meet me at my office in thirty mins! We have a situation”.
Exactly thirty minutes later, Alpha Gabriel seething in his home office waves of anger and violence coursing through his wolf. If he were a normal wolf, he would have transformed and been on a blood rampage. His mind had been calculating from the moment he left the sacred woods till he got to his estate on the best possible means to get rid of this sons fated mate. Alpha Vortex pack is protected like a fortress, he has tried many times to gain entry but never went past the barrier.
In the midst of his deep thoughts, his right hand commanding officers (Beta and Omega) enters his office and took their seats.
“Even from the gates of the estate I could feel the anger of your wolf, whatever this problem is, must be very bad” Beta Ronan was the first to speak.
“Yea boss, what the hell is going on” omega Lucian adds.
He looks at them with eyes filled with different emotions never seen before. “ Tonight was the Aubai ritual and as you know is performed when a she-wolf with child is on her 8th month, to know the fate of the unborn wolf and if the child is destined with a true mate”
They both looking slightly confused because every wolf is aware of the ritual as it is a norm in the wolf community but they kept silent waiting for their Alpha to continue his speech.
“ My dear Unborn wolf is fated to fulfil the prophecy of the Urklain, red moon and he is to be the greatest alpha born in these times an….”
“ This is good news Alpha!” Omega says interrupting him, happily as his mind began to settle down from the possibilities of war and more. He is an over thinker and has a soft spot for war and battles. “ I was thinking we were gonna go to war……..”
“LET ME FINISH!” Alpha Gabriel roared as he banged his fist on the rare Mahogany table and the windows rattled at the sound. “ My child is among the fortunate to have a true mate, the issue is that his true mate is the unborn child of our greatest enemy Alpha Vortex”.
“WHAT?!!!” beta and omega both roared, hearts sinking to the bottom of their stomach. This news could only mean one thing, WAR.
“Gabriel!, that is impossible!” Ronan spoke as his wolf’s rage began to rise “if you allow this to take place, our pack will seize to exist, Alpha Vortex will want to absorb our pack like he has been trying to do for years now”.
“ And that is why I will not let this happen and I don’t care the consequences, even if it offends the moon Goddess herself” Alpha replied.
“So what do you have in mind” the omega who has been quiet since responds, he was just a little boy during the last war and had watched his mom fight to the death before his eyes to protect him.
“ We can’t just charge into their territory, they deal with a lot of black market ammunitions and make up for their lack of population with high level technology “
“ Oh I am well aware of that fact, my plan is to remove the child of Alpha Vortex. We don’t need to go to battle with them; we take out the child, his true mate would shift to another park. Moreover, his new luna is just two months pregnant and it can be easily seen as a miscarriage and it would be like nothing ever happened. They don’t even know yet that they are expecting. We grab this opportunity and strike now! “ the Alpha said while staring through the high windows of his ten feet tall office, his eyes lost in deep and calculative thoughts.
“Hmm may I ask, how do you intend to remove the child?
You mean they’re unaware about the pregnancy?” Beta Ronan asks thinking of possible ways to get rid of the child.
“Well, I plan to kidnap the new luna, but not killing her. Just inject her with the right dose to cause a wolf miscarriage, even if I have to use wolfsbane to do it…..I care less for the health of the woman, she will survive but the baby will not” the Alpha responds.
“I just remember that we did successfully manage to keep Silent spies in their pack whom have been awaiting instructions for more than 10 years now, they are fully integrated in that pack and way of life, we will use them to our advantage and get the job done “ Beta says.
“This is the best thing I’ve heard all night and the reason why you are my chosen Beta. I thought that operation was not successful but I am grateful it did work out” the Alpha says with a smile.
