THE PROMISE
My name is Magdalene Aurora and I am the Alpha of this pack. My father retired from being the Alpha and entrusted me with the pack. My mother disapproved of it because she thinks I am still too young to lead the pack but because of the trust my father had in me, her disapproval was not considered. As an Alpha, I have to do as my pack wants me to. This is my story.
"Magda, we should call for a meeting of the pack. We need you to conquer the human kingdom and let the wolves lead the world. We need to show them that we are superior to them," Aurora, my mother told me that.
"Mother, conquering is not the only solution to everything. We can make peace with them and agree that they will never step into our territory and neither will we. All we have to do is hold a meeting with their leader and agree together."
"Do you really think that making peace with them will keep us safe? They will agree and come back to kill us, what will you do then? You have to listen to what your pack tells you! We are your family and you want to put us in trouble with the humans? That's the reason why I never wanted you lead the pack."
Out of my patience, "Enough, Aurora! You are my mother not my legal advisor! Talking of pack, you are the only one suggesting to conquer the human kingdom so leave my pack out of this. I don't care whether you want me to lead or not, the fact remains that I am your Alpha so you'll have to do as I say. Now leave here now! I said, go!"
She turned and left without another word but full of fury. I didn't mind her because she was always against the humans. I went out to find my legal advisor, Aaron Rodgers. As soon as I found him, we went deep into the forest to talk. "Aaron" I began, "my mother says to conquer the human world and I say we make peace but I am now confused, what do you think I should do?"
"Well, according to me, I think both of you are right. If we choose what your mother wants, we might end up hurting people who didn't even know that we really existed and who have no intention of ever hurting us. We will be the bad ones afterwards but if we do as you say, we may make peace then their leader may decide to come back and distinct us for good, what will happen if that happens. I think first you should consult your father on this, maybe he will be of help."
"Okay, Aaron, get my father for me!" Aaron left and I remained behind. As I awaited for my father, my thoughts went ahead of time as I thought of a peaceful kingdom of unity between humans and the wolves. The prince of the human kingdom and me leading the whole United kingdom together.
"Magda my child" my dad rudely interrupted my thoughts, "I heard that you are calling me dear?"
"Yes father, I need your advice on what to do. My mother doesn't trust the fact that I am the Alpha now. She still wants me out and doesn't want me to do what I think is right. She thinks that conquering the humans is the right thing to do but I don't feel that is the right thing to do. What should I do, father? Please help me."
"Child, I left this responsibility with you because I believed and I still believe that you are the best Alpha there is. Whatever you think is right is for the best interest of the pack so don't hear whatever you mother says. But concerning what is right or wrong, I think your decision is right but I think you need to consult the pack. The duty of an Alpha is to do what his or her pack wants so hear from your pack first then do as they want. As for your leadership you were already meant to be an Alpha even before you were born so don't let anyone bother you on that!"
"Thank you father!" Falling into his arms, " I wish my mother could have the same affection towards me as you do."
"Don't worry dear, I am here with you. I will never leave you alone even if I die I will always be with you. Let's go hear what the pack wants."
??????????????????????
The pack assembles......
"I am here standing before you today as your Alpha. I know, being your Alpha means I have to do as you all wish and that is why I am here today to know what you all want! Should we conquer the human kingdom or should we make peace with them. Please consider the fact that if we conquer, many lives will be at risk including yours and I can't take that risk but if you want that then I will do it. On the other hand, if we make peace, we will all be safe including the human kingdom too. Nobody has to suffer any loss of lives. Please put the whole pack into consideration and when you make your decision then tell Aaron to come tell me in my den. I will leave you to make your decision now!"
????????????????????
After sometime, Aaron came to my den........
"Magda, your pack has made its decision."
"What have they decided, Aaron? They want to conquer the human kingdom, right? They want us to fight our way out of this?"
"They want their Alpha to go herself and conquer the people in the human kingdom. They want you to go to the prince of the kingdom then you send a signal to us that we can all attack and have our way into their world. They want you to lead their world and ours together." Bowing down before me," they are waiting for you outside to hear what you have to say to them!"
I walked out slowly thinking whether I should do what they want or not. On reaching to them I cleared my throat, "if fighting is what you people want then,....... I will give that to you! I will go to the human world tonight and I will signal you when I have the prince under my control. While I am gone, I want Aaron to be in charge and whatever he says, I believe will be for the best interest of you all and don't let the likes of my mother influence you. I believe my pack will behave when I am away. Bye for now!"
I went back to my den when suddenly my father joined me inside.
"Magda, I know you don't want to do this and I know your mother talked the whole pack into this but whatever you do, know that you will forever remain my princess. Whatever you do, I will support you. When out there, please take care of yourself. Remember you are a wolf so think like a wolf and remember you are doing everything for your pack. Also put in mind that I love you very much my child."
"Father, I know this is not right. To be sincerely honest, what did I ever do to my mother? Who did she want to be the Alpha if not me? I am your only child so who else will be the heir to the throne if not me? Anyway, I know why she did this. She did this so that I could object and turn the whole pack against me but I won't let her win. I promise this before you father I will do as my pack want. I promise to conquer the human kingdom and on that day, I will prove to my mother that you giving the position of the Alpha to me was not a mistake. I will come back victorious, father. I love you father, I have to go now!"
