Forbidden Omega

Chapter Four

**18 years earlier**

“Did you get that scent?”

“Yeah I did, what the hell is that?”

“Eyes peeled, it’s a wit….”

In front of the Boarder Patrol Guards stood a 5’4 slim built brunette. She had a friendly face with a beautiful smile, clear blue eyes and dressed in everyday hiking gear. She was very calm and collected considering she was trespassing on the Big River Pack’s territory.

The beautiful stranger spoke interrupting “Gentleman could you please let Luna Tilly know that Helva is here to see her”

The guards looked at each other. One guards eyes glazed over as the stranger was watched on still gentle smiling at them. The other guard had a low growl starting in his throat he had always been suspicious of witches.

Within seconds the guards mind link conversation had ceased as had his colleagues low growl. He smiled at the stranger, “Luna Tilly has asked us to direct you to the pack house. She advised no escort is needed. I do apologise Ma’am we did not recognise the Head of the Dark Mountain Coven. We were not aware you were visiting our pack.” Both guards bowed their heads in respect to Helva.

“Do not worry young man, I am not that conceited that I think everyone should know who I am. Thank you kindly for your help today, may you have a blessed day” Helva calmly stepped past the guards and started making her way to the pack house.

Big River Pack were a pack that tolerated and encouraged relationships between werewolves and other beings such as shape shifters, light witches and warlocks. They however did not welcome vampires or dark witches and warlocks within their pack lands. It was not always this way and many, many, many generations before the pack lands were only ever for the pack. They would kill any witch, warlock, vampire or shifter found within their territory. As times changed it was believed that the Moon Goddess began to recognise the strength packs had when they light witches, light warlocks and shape shifters into their packs. She began blessing packs with mixed species mates once a generation as she felt the needs of the packs. However some packs chose to ignore this and banish anyone accepting a non-werewolf mate, some packs even went as far as to kill anyone who accepted these mates. There were still a few packs out there that refused to acknowledge these types of mates. It was strongly believed by pack elders that these types of packs were no longer blessed by the Moon Goddess.

Helva and Luna Tilly had grown up together playing alongside each other, never knowing any difference between them. As they grew their training obviously differed but even after them having to go their separate ways to train and grow into their roles today they remained as close as sisters. It was always many years between seeing each other but they frequently caught up with each other through mind linking not to mention the fantastic invention Facetime!

Helva easily found her way to the pack house where a few people recognised her and kindly bowed their heads in respects as they smiled at her. She returned with her own kind bowed head and smile as she made her way to the Alpha Floor. Before she had even gotten past the first flight of stairs she could hear a commotion coming from above her as she caught Luna Tilly’s scent gently catching. Helva chuckled to herself. As she got to the first level and waited for Luna Tilly to come to her. Waddling down the last 5 stairs Luna Tilly did not look like the dignified controlled Luna everyone knew and loved, more like a teenager who hasn’t seen their bestie in years.

Smiling from ear to ear Helva opened her arms waiting for her friend to come to her embrace. This had always been their form of greeting. It had been a few years since that had last seen each other in person. They spoke most weeks but things had become extremely busy at the Coven requiring Helva’s undivided attention 24/7 so contact had a bit less regular over the last year.

“It’s so good to see you”, Luna Tilly was squeezing her friend as tightly as she could round her swollen pregnant belly. Stepping back and appraising her smiling friend she linked her arm through Helva’s and started walking back upstairs towards her quarters.

As they settled into the comfy sofas in Luna Tilly’s living room some Omegas came and put a selection of food and drinks in front of the ladies for them to serve themselves as they wanted. As the Omega’s bowed backing out of the room Helva turned to her friend.

“How are you keeping Tilly. I knew having the Alpha’s Baby would mean a big baby but WOW have you seen yourself!”

“Hahaha have you forgotten how big I was for the last three babies? I still feel like a whale I still have a 3 weeks to go!! I can’t get any bigger I will explode. Trent keeps telling me to slow down but I just can’t sit still. I have a list of things I need to take care of before this baby comes into the world!”

“He loves you, he just wants to look after you and his baby. I hope you don’t give him too hard a time. I can already tell by the looks on your Interior Guards faces that they are terrified of something happening to you waddling around at top speed”

“Yeah their faces are hysterical some days poor guards! As much as I love to see you I am sensing something is not quite right. You normally tell us you are coming for a start and I can see in your face you are looking a little weary”

Luna Tilly leaned over taking Helva’s hand in her own.

Helva was trying to figure out her words. Taking her time she took a deep breath and raised her head to look her friend straight in her eyes.

“Its about your baby. I have been having visions for the last 2 weeks that have been very vivid. I needed to seek some guidance to understand the full meanings for the visions before I came to you. I have been travelling a lot hence my delightful tired look. Its your choice if you want to know what I have seen.”

Luna Tilly let go of Helva’s hand, her eyes glassed over as she mind linked her husband “Trent Helva is here, its something to do with the baby can you please come. We are in our living room”

“Of course honey I am on my way”

“Trent is coming, he needs to be here to see what you have to say as it involves our child. You wouldn’t come to me unless you felt it was extremely important for us.” Luna Tilly smiled at Helva picking her hand back up.

The ladies tried to fill the time until Alpha Trent arrived with chit chat. As the door opened Helva went to stand to show her respect but Alpha Trent waved at his wife’s best friend to stay seated, he regarded her as family. He leaned down kissing his wife on the cheek, then the top of her bump before he moved across to Helva leaning down to kiss her cheek. “Tilly said you were here its fantastic to see you Helva. Maybe you can help me slow this one down?”

“Hahahaha if it only it was that easy Alpha Trent but we both know that slowing this one down is a full time job”

“So Tilly said that you had some news and its about the baby?” Trent found himself leaning forwards putting one hand on his wife’s knee and resting his elbow on his other knee.

Helva put down her glass of water she had been holding onto, smoothing out invisible wrinkles on her trousers before she started talking, “As I have already said to Tilly, I have been having visions for short time and needed time before coming to you about these visions to figure out what the meaning truly was. They involve an exceptional wolf that will be born and will need protection until they come into their powers. I have some clarity that the wolf will be born into this pack anytime between now and next full moon which is 26 days away. This exceptional wolf will have a role in the future of our kind protecting us all from a large dark force that is building its army in the shadows even now.”

Luna Tilly and Alpha Alex were looking at each other and back at Helva.

“In the first set of visions I had I saw a wolf that is dark grey after its first shift with golden eyes. More visions happened after this with a set of golden eyes but on a dazzling white wolf. The White Wolf I see is always covered in blood standing on a mountain of bodies. This is where I needed clarity on my visions. The mountains of bodies has changed from the original vision to now. The one that is most recurring is the bodies surrounded by wolves howling at the white wolf with a large black wolf with piercing blue eyes climbing the bodies to stand beside the white wolf. But there is another vision that has come frequently where the bodies under the wolves feet are all dead wolves and a dark being is beside the white wolf at the top of the mountain of bodies. The White Wolfs eyes in the darker vision are red.”

Helva paused to retrieve her drink and take a sip of water to let this information sink in with the Alpha and Luna.

“So you believe our child will be this white wolf is that right?”

“No Alpha Alex I don’t. I believe there is another pup being born in this pack that will need your packs protection. Speaking to the elders of the Witch Council we believe the visions are a warning. If this pup is not cared for and trained properly they will be taken by the dark powers that are building and will be used to destroy all werewolves. But we believe the black wolf in our vision to be your ........................... son. We believe it is his future mate that will become the white wolf in our visions”

“We are having a boy??”, Luna Tilly was gently rubbing her bump deep in thought at what she had just been told. They had decided right at the start of the pregnancy that they didn’t want to know the pup’s gender.

Alpha Trent looked Helva straight in her eyes, “A boy. Our first Son. So our pup that you are saying is our Son is expected to look after her while she trains and gets her skills to defeat the dark powers is that right?”

“Yes Alpha Trent, in a nut shell. How many other pack members are due to give birth in the next 26 days? I would suggest we start there and focus on all female pups that are born during this period and then all we can do is observe from a far and ensure they are all protected. You will understand that I ask that you keep these visions to yourselves in the interest of keeping this pup hidden and safe. Until they come of age and start to gain their powers they stay undetected by the dark powers. We have reliable information that the dark powers are more than aware of this wolf and its meaning to them. They are trying to use magic to pin point the pack etc but we have already put protection spells in place around your pack lands to ensure that no dark powers can sense anything out of the ordinary. But once this wolf comes of age as her powers grow we will not be able to keep her hidden.”

Both the Alpha and Luna nodded in unison, “ Helva we completely understand and can’t thank you enough for coming to us with this information. We will compile all the relevant information to share with the Light Witches Council. Without hesitation from this day forth I vow that all female cubs born from this day until the next full moon will be fully protected by not just myself but also my pack until we can learn of the individual wolf. We shall then extend all protections until that wolf fully has her powers and is trained. Our son will be raised to be the best fighter, protector and husband for this special wolf. Not a word will be mentioned to him until it becomes necessary otherwise all of this information will remain with us and we will take it to our grave if needed”

Helva felt movement in the air within the room as the Alphas vow was completed. She was already feeling the relief of having shared this information both of them, she loved and trusted as family. They were a progressive Alpha and Luna focussed on changing the old ways to ensure that all pack members felt valued no matter what was happening within the pack. Given the potentially overwhelming task ahead of them she couldn't think of two people she would entrust this task to other than Luna Tilly and Alpha Trent.

“I always knew our first boy born would be special, I just didn’t realise how much”, Luna Tilly had a tear falling down her cheek.

Alpha Trent leaned over putting his forehead against hers, “He was always going to be special my love, he will carry on our name, we both know he will be the packs future Alpha”

Looking up into her husband’s eyes she felt calm wash over her. He was her grounding rock. She knew that no matter what happened from this day forward for her Son and for the future of all packs her Husband would do whatever was necessary. Reaching her hand out her friend took it and squeezed it.

“Right then so super special son – check. Now we need to figure out who is mate will be! I am going to right beside you both right the way through all of this. I promise to protect you all will everything I possibly can until the wolf can protect herself. No one can ever know about this conversation. It has to stay between the 3 of us only for the wolfs and packs safety” Helva was trying to lighten the mood. She couldn't help being curious as to who this grey or white wolf would be. 

Alpha Trent and Luna both nodded in unison. Helva trusted them with her life so knew there was no question of them telling another sole.

Now they just had to be patient and wait 18 years and find out who this mysterious wolf would be……..
