SnowMoon Healer

Chapter 02: The First Beta

I sit in my room looking at every corner of it. I have lived here for eighteen years, and now I'm leaving because I'm a payment for our pack debts.

I still can't accept that this is happening now. The First Beta of Silvermoon might be here at any minute now, but I don't have the strength to pack my things.

I sob while hugging my favorite pillow. It was given to me by my Dad. He said that Mom made it when I was a baby.

I wish you had been here, Mom.

The door slowly opened, and my best friend Tyler entered my room. He is the First Beta's son, and he's the soon-to-be First Beta of our pack. He is also a friend of my brother.

"Hey Piggy, stop crying." He said as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. That's what he always does whenever he sees me crying.

"I'm leaving today, Ty, and it hurts. It really hurts." I said, hugging him. I wish we were mates. We talked about it before, but he said that he couldn't feel any potential bond between us.

Males know when they find the right she-wolf for them. It's the scent of women that makes them crazy and turns the motion of the earth for them. Like us, women can sense the prestige of a man. That attracts us to them until they court us, and we accept them as our mates. Not the typical story that I read in books is that when they turn eighteen, they will find their mate easily and fall in love. That's a lie!

"I know Piggy. Dad told me. I told him to fight for you, but the safety of our pack comes first," he said.

"That's true. I hate the consequences of their help. It's like binding our lives forever." I said, slightly pulling away from his hug.

"Then run, you can run from this and live your own life." He suggested.

"No! I'm not going to do that. I love this pack, I'm sure that Alpha Kayden will kill all of you if I run away." I said, picking up my bag to start packing.

My heart broke apart over and over again as I put my clothes one by one in my bag. I have never been away from my family for too long. Actually, I haven't gone out of the SnowMoon pack since birth. I was born with Moon Goddess blessings. I am a healer, a powerful one, as others say.

"I will call you every day when you get there. Promise me to answer my texts and calls," he said.

"You know I will try. I will miss you and our endless movie marathon every day." I said, smiling at him.

He has a huge part in my heart.

"I will wait for your reply then," he answered.

A knock on the door stops me from putting my pants inside the bag. Tyler opens the door and I see Amanda, one of our servants.

"Lady Adellee, Alpha Elliot sent me here to inform you that the First Beta of the Silvermoon pack has already arrived, and he expects you to be ready by now," Amanda informed me.

"Okay Amanda, just tell Dad that I'll be there in a minute," I said. Putting on the last clothes I need to bring. I also pack my tools for healing. I am a healer of this pack, though we also have two more healers here.

"Yes, Lady Adellee," She said before closing the door on herself.

That First Beta is surely punctual. He's on time. I turned to look at Ty. "Hey big guy, stop pitying me and start to help me with my bags," I said while throwing him one of my bags.

"You're leaving me here, then do you want me to help you? No! You can help yourself." Tyler said, but he grabbed my bags and led the way to my father's office. A scent of pine with honey hit me when we entered his office.

Dexter is there with my father, First Beta Martin, and Third in Command Arthur. I saw the First Beta of Silvermoon, but he's back on me. I can feel his power and prestige. I can't help but feel very little when he stands up and turns to look at me.

"Adellee, this is First Beta Jaxson of SilverMoon pack." Father introduced First Beta Jaxson to me.

This first Beta is a good-looking guy. Tall and handsome, but something tells me that he is dangerous. He looks at me and bows a little.

Wow! Very noble of him. I said to myself.

SilverMoon pack is the total opposite of my pack. There is no snow there. It is surrounded by forests and mountains. Based on the map our ancestors provided, SilverMoon is twice the size of our pack now.

"Nice meeting you first, Beta Jaxson," I said, but didn't bow to him. I am an Alpha daughter. I bow only to my father and other Alphas.

"The pleasure is mine, Lady Adellee," he said.

"Alpha Elliot, I think we need to leave now. Alpha Kayden is waiting for our arrival this evening and I think Lady Adellee is ready to go." He said to my father.

Father looked at me with some sadness in his eyes. He walks to me and hugs me for the last time. Dexter looks at me, silently standing near the window of our Dad's office. He simply smiles at me, but I know he doesn't want me to go.

Jaxson carries my bags and I follow him outside. Three cars are waiting for us. He put my things inside and told me to go in.

I followed him and gave one final look at my Dad and baby brother before I went inside the car. Everyone is looking at me like they are happy that I made the right decision. Weird people.

The ride inside the car is silent. The First Beta didn't bother to talk to me, he was just reading some paperwork.

I looked around inside the Limo and decided to take one of the books to his side. But before I could get it, the sudden speed of the car made me fall into his lap. Oh, gracious!

I look at him at the same time as he looks at me. Face to face, he did not show any emotion. I felt embarrassed as I got up.

"Glen, what happened?!" Jaxson shouted to the driver.

"I'm sorry first Beta Jaxson, I accidentally hit the gas, then the break," Glen said.

"Next time, watch out and be careful," he said.

"I-I'm sorry about the----"

"It's nothing." He said before he threw me the book that I wanted to read.

"Thank you," I said, while I felt that my face was burning up because of the embarrassment.

Sh*t! That's so embarrassing. I almost touched his grrrrr! So embarrassing.

I looked away and started to read the book until I fell asleep.
