White Wolves

Blood Moon Pack

The trip was short, after our plane landed, Alpha Dimitri sent cars to take us to the pack hous. After an hour we arrived to the Blood Moon pack. The pack house was huge, an old castle. It was surrounded by the forest but close enough to the city. The castle walls were made from grey and brownish stones, the windows were darkened, the garden was mesmerizing with bushes and red, white and blue roses. 

 Beta Ian greeted us at the pack house. Oval face with crystal blue eyes with short ,blonde hair. He’s tall, in his mid 20s, early 30s. His posture shows that he is muscular. Overall, he’s handsome. 

“Welcome to everybody! I’m Beta Ian of the Blood Moon Pack. My Alpha, Dimitri sends his apology but he have some serious business to do. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Now please follow Omega Claire to the dinning hall, I need to talk to your Beta before we join you. Beta Emma please follow me to my office.” He said approaching me. 

 “Nice to meet you Beta Ian!” I greet him with a bow. 

 “Please, call me just Ian. No meed for the formalities.” We are heading to his office. The hall is wide, dark red carpet on the wooden floor, the walls are white. There are a few dark brown doors, a few decorations and a few bookshelves. He’s opening the door and let me inside first. 

 The office looks great. A black leather couch is on my left in the corner with a small glass coffee table in front of, huge windows near them. At the right side of the room are some bookshelves full of books, on the walls are some pictures with the pack house from the past. In the middle of the office is a huge dark wood desk with black leather chair. In front of the desk are two dark red chairs as well. 

 I’m looking at the pictures, observing that they are a few from the present and more from the past. Ian is standing right behind me. 

 “The Blood Moon pack have a really powerful past. The pack founder was Daniel Stone. He was between the first werewolves who comes in New Orleans. At the beginning the pack was small, 23 members, Alpha Daniel had a small territory. The pack was growing fast so he needed more land. He trained his warriors to be fearless and powerful. In 4 years, with hard work, he became the most powerful Alpha in North.” Ian said proudly. 

 “I’m sure that he was a powerful Alpha” I said smiling at a picture which, I’m convinced, that was the oldest one. It was taken in front of the pack house with almost 30 pack members there. In the middle of the picture was Alpha Daniel, he was tall, lean and muscular, confident, powerful and handsome. 

 “Please, sit down.” Ian said gesturing to the dark red chair in front of his office desk. 

 “Dimitri have some business to deal with, he will join us next week. We prepare the first floor to the warriors. Emma, you will stay at the 5th floor. You are the Beta of the Night Sky pack so you are staying at the Alpha’s floor. Your room is the third one on the right side. You have an office connected to your room. If you need anything please let me know.” 

 “Thank you, but I think it’s better if I stay with my pack. I don’t want to be disrespectful but I’m not only a Beta, I’m a warrior too. I’m more than happy staying with my family.” I said concerned about his response. 

 “Emma, I think it’s better for everyone if you stay at the 5th floor with the Alpha and me. We will need to discuss the training plans, the strategy and I think it’s easier for both of us if you have your own office near ours. Alphas order, sorry.” He sigh looking into my green eyes. I can see that he is tired. 

 “Ok..” I said with a sigh. 

 “Let’s join the others in the dining room.” Ian says waiting for my response. 

 “Let’s go.” I said walking to the door. He opened it for me. We are going through a long hallway where a few Omegas are, probably, doing their best to prepare everything for my warriors. A barbie, fake blonde woman is coming in our way. 

 “Hey Ian! When is Dimitri coming home? I’m missing him!” She pretends not to notice me, but I can see envy in her eyes. 

 “Amanda, let me introduce Beta Emma to you. She is from Night Sky pack, they come here to help us, but you don’t care about the pack so whatever. Emma she is Amanda.” Ian said with a cold tone. 

 “Oh, hey. Nice to meet you Emma!” Amanda said with a fake smile. She is wearing heavy makeup, false lashes, a short pink dress what is revealing her fake boobs, with white high heels. She looks like a cheap w***e. 

 “Beta Emma for you, nice to meet you!” I said with disgust. I don’t know why I’m angry...

 “How you dare talking to a Luna in this way?! Who do you think you are?” She said with her right hand on her hips, studying every inch of my face. 

 “If you are the Luna here, I’m sorry for Alpha Dimitri.” I said amused of her. She is angry, good. 

 “What?!” Amanda screamed, ready to attack me. 

 “A real Luna would never behave like that. A real Luna is gentle, friendly, helpful, strong and wise. A real Luna would never dress like a cheap w***e. I’m sorry if I offended you with the truth. Anyone who has a little wit can notice from miles that you are not a Luna.” I said with a calm tone, I don’t want her to notice my nervousness. Ian is still standing next to me with an amused expression. 

 “Emma, let’s continue our journey.” Ian said taking my hand and dragging me with him like a kid. 

 “What?” I asked him near the dining area. Ian started laughing. 

 “I like you!” He says entering in the dining room. It’s a huge ballroom, there is a stage at the end of the room with a big dining table, a big chandelier in the middle of the room with a breathtaking fresco on the ceiling. It’s the history of the werewolves if I’m not wrong. The walls are white and the parquet is mahogany. There are at least 200 people who are talking and eating, but the room would be able to accommodate up to 600 people. It looks like a fancy restaurant. The tables are white, without tablecloths, I’m sure that is easier for the Omegas to clean. In the middle of the table are some peonies and lilies. The chairs are white too. There is a buffet close to the stage which is full of delicacies. 

 Everyone greeted us with a bow. I sit next to Becka who is a great tracker and one of my best friends. 

 “Hey Becka, please inform the others that you are staying at the first floor. If you need me you will find me at the 5th floor.” 

 “All right Emma. Everything is good? When do we start training?”  We talk while we eat. 

 “Tomorrow morning we are visiting the training ground, we meet the warriors from Blood Moon pack to observe their fighting movements and after lunch we will join them. Alpha Dimitri have some business to deal with so he will accompany us next week. Until then Beta Ian and I are there to teach everyone.”

 “I hope that everything will be fine. I have a strange feeling since we’ve been here...my wolf can’t calm down.” She said with concern in her eyes.

 “I’m sure that everything will be good. Go and take a walk, maybe that will help you both.” I said standing up from the table. 

 “Do you want to come with me?” She’s standing in front of me. 

 “Yeah, why not?” I give her my best smile, I’m exhausted. I can’t think about anything just my dad..

 We are in the backyard where is a picnic area designed with a few tables and  benches. There are some trees adorned with firefly lights. It looks great. 

 “Let’s go for a run.” I’m not waiting for her response, I start to walk to the forest. I know she’s following me, I can hear her steps. I stop near a huge tree to take my clothes off and I shift. The familiar sounds of bone cracking relaxes me a little. 

 My wolf is bigger than the regular betas, white fur and electric blue eyes. My pack is used to my look, but it can be a little shocking for others. White werewolves are rare, they think that we are related to the Moon Goddess but I don’t think it’s true. Yes, I’m powerful, my wolf is bigger than the others but I can’t believe it. I can’t feel the bonding...I give full control to Louve, she needs to relax a bit too. Becka’s wolf is honey brown with a little darker brown spots, her name is Vera. 

 We are running for a while now, I decided to stop at a river. Lou and Vera drinks, they found a rabbit approximately 30 meters away. They choose to play a little bit. Lou starts chasing the rabbit while Vera gets in front of them to surround their victim. A disgusting scent hits my nose. 

 “Becka, rogues! They are about 10 in front of us approximately 80 meters away. We run against the wind, what means they can’t feel our scent. What do you think? Do you and Vera wants to play a little bit?” I ask her stopping near the rogues. They are searching for something. We have to interrogate one, we need to find out about what are they searching for. 

 “Absolutely!” 

 “We need one alive! We have to find out about their mission. Be careful I have a strange feeling. I’m sure that they are stronger than the usual rogues.” I warn her as I approach them. 

 “Becka, you are attacking them from left while I’m coming from right.” I gave Lou full control. 

 Becka is almost in her place, I’m already on the left side. They are 12 in total, 10 of them are in their wolf form and 2 in human form. The two men are talking about a white wolf...No one knows about my wolf, just my pack. 

 “We have to find him as soon as possible.” The tall, bald man said. 

 “Becka, eavesdrop until they don’t find out that we are here! We need every information about their presence here.” 

 “Okay Emma!” She said following them.

 We are far away from the palace or the guards. I don’t know how they cross the border but we will find out soon. 

 “Don’t forget, we need him alive! If the white wolf die, he will kill us all.” The bald man warns them. 

 “Keep calm John.” The younger said amused by John’s worries. 

 “Tod, I don’t want to die because one of you guys can’t deal with a kidnapping. We will sedate him, bring him without anyone noticing his absence. Let’s try to avoid fighting, we have to work from the shadows. We all know that white werewolves are strong, don’t underestimate him.” John said as he looked everyone in the eyes so they can understand that he is serious and he is not joking about the white werewolf’s strength. 

 “Becka we have to bring John to the castle to interrogate him. I think he is their leader. We are getting closer to the castle, we have to attack them now!” I said attacking the closest wolf to me. He is a dark brown wolf with mud in his fur. I rip his throat with one movement, in 4 seconds he is laying down breathless with his eyes open, staring at John in a pool of blood. 

 I attack the second one who is a honey brown wolf. He is trying to jump on my back but I dodge him. He flies roughly at the nearest tree breaking it in half. He is unconscious and I’m sure that his spine is broken in minimum 2 places. The third wolf is attacking me from the back, trying to bite my hind paws. With my left back paw I manage to hit his maw, I hear a cracking sound what ensures me that I broke it. The honey brown werewolves jaw is in a strange position with blood and saliva dripping from his mouth. His eyes are shut, that’s gives me the opportunity to kill him. I charge at him, my front right paw smashing his face with a blow, blood splashing on my face. With blood stained white fur, I’m looking wild and crazy. My electric blue eyes are looking for my next victim,a grey wolf is right in front of me staring into my eyes, I can see fear in his eyes. A growl escapes my throat before I attack him. He is frozen from fear, I will end his life fast by ripping his head off. A black wolf is trying to get close to my throat but he fails miserably, I rip his head off too. The sixth wolf is trying to attack from above but I manage to split his abdomen, blood splitting on me, his entrails are shoving out. He’s not paying attention to me, I think he is shocked seeing his own intestines, I managed to get close to him unnoticed and I rip his throat, splashing blood everywhere. Three werewolves are attacking Becka, I’m in a hurry to help her. I tear one of the wolves in half, making the rest of them to pay attention to me. Becka managed to kill one, meanwhile I kill the other one ripping his throat. 

 “Becka, behind your back!” I’m screaming at her. The tenth wolf is attacking Becka, somehow I managed to push her in time. The wolf bite my shoulder deeply, he didn’t want to let go of me, I backed away until I find a tree. I hit him against the tree several times, until his face is smashed and he falls off my back, dead. 

 Becka killed the last one werewolf Tod, just John was alive.
