Under the Silvered Sky

Wolves' Den

Under the sun's gentle touch, the NN territory bustled with activity. Some pack members were out hunting, others were playfully chasing each other and a few more were just chilling by, enjoying the warmth. This type of morning has become an enlightening routine for everyone in the Nocturnal Nexus.

Iza was awoken by a gentle knocking of her trusted friend - Selene. The girl grunted annoyingly, wanting to stay in the bed's embrace for just a bit longer. The birds chirped away their favorite melodies and indicated that the morning must get started.

"Come in" - the alpha groaned, sitting up straight.

Selene, her trusted companion, opened the door, bowing her head in respect. Although Iza and Selene have been friends since birth, the authority of the alpha must be respected.

"You're needed in the office."- the blonde-haired girl hummed. - "There's a ton of paperwork waiting for you."

Iza c****d an eyebrow.

"I have finished signing off every last one of them at midnight." - She said, still a bit confused by the request.

"Well, the SS sent you a few more. Kellan wants to upgrade his defence around the territory. Must be something important" - Selene explained, before giving a slight grin and closing the door.

The girl sighed. She got out of bed, threw on a tank top and some grey shorts before making her way downstairs to the kitchen. Iza turned on the coffee maker and quickly whipped up a delicious, creamy latte. Drink in hand, she waddled to her office. Opening the door, she was surprised by a pair of eyes staring right back at her. The guest tilted his head, and looked at the alpha before him up and down. He nodded in acknowledgment.

"Sorry, Iza, to be disturbing you so early. I have important matters to discuss" - he said, his expression changed from friendly to serious.

The girl sighed, before motioning for the fellow guest to sit in front. Iza fired up her laptop, took a sip of her piping hot drink and looked back up.

"What's troubling you, Kellan? I didn't expect to see you here."

The male smiled slightly.

"Apologies, as I said. I've come to talk to you, because I need your help." - he said. The girl didn't show emotion, but motioned for him to go forwards.

"I have been alarmed that multiple strays have been dismissing my pack's territory. Simon noticed a pattern, and we think they're planning to attack." - he finished, waiting for Iza to start talking.

She tilted her head, thinking. This has been a problem in every pack. Strays are trying to start an uprising. They get into the other pack's territory, killing everyone in the way. Then, they kill the alpha and take the territory. The female has also noticed a few strays here and there and although NN is small, it is a very tightly-knit pack. Their defense and offense have been polished to the maximum, but Kellan's pack may struggle.

"Well, whatever you need, Nocturnal Nexus will help. We are allies after all." - Iza said, reassuringly smiling and patting Kellan on the shoulder. Kellan slightly shifted his eyes to his shoulder, feeling the warmth lingering. His body relaxes.

"Thank you, Alpha Iza. I knew I could come to you for help."

"I'll send in a few guys from my pack to help to patrol the territory. I suggest maximizing the training. I'll send Ralph in the afternoon" - she said. Ralph is the best trainer in NN. Although his methods are brutal, the improvement is seen in minutes.

Kellan smiled, nodding his head in approval. They both stand up, bow to each other slightly, to show mutual respect. Kellan took Iza's hand, taking it to his mouth. He pecks the back of the girl's hand while maintaining intense eye contact. The hot sensation sent shivers down her spine, but she maintained her posture and thanked him for the meeting. One last look and the male was walking out the door. After all, he had a lot on his mind right now.

The she-wolf finished up her coffee, licking her lips. She looked through all the paperwork, signing it off.

An hour later, the afternoon sun came. The sun's rays were extremely hot, and the wolves couldn't bear the heat anymore. To refresh themselves, the NN pack dashed straight to the lake. All of them stripped away the layers and jumped into the deep cold water.

After a good swimming session, the wolves were feeling great. They all went back to the main residence and got on with their daily tasks. Some, as promised, went to Kellan's territory to help.

It was getting late quickly. Feeling happy, the wolves sat back and enjoyed the peace.

Iza got out of the main house, chatting to her friends. They felt like the day was ending sooner and that there was still something they could do. The alpha got an idea.

"Who wants to go to ERUM?" - She yells out, smile plastered on her face. NN cheered and started to get ready fast. ERUM is a nightclub downtown where all the werewolves go to dance and talk, but quite a few come there for s*x, drugs and to get totally wasted. The nightclub's business is booming, since werewolves have a high alcohol tolerance.

The alpha went straight to her room, choosing what to wear. She looked through her closet, eyes scanning for perfection, and she found it. Iza's hands went straight to a black dress that was perfect for this occasion. It was sexy yet still elegant. Short, almost too short. Revealing but not that revealing. It was beautiful, down to the smallest detail. She quickly put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. The dress has an open back, and goes straight to the belly button from the front. The female feels confident and beautiful. She put on some makeup, heels and went out. All the pack is already waiting. Selene came forward, bowing slightly before smirking.

"Someone's ready to get some action!" - she said, sticking her tongue out, winking. Iza chuckled slightly before returning the sly smile.

"Maybe I am"- she winked.

The pack started howling in unison before going straight to the nightclub. This was just the start to a very interesting night..

The downtown was lit up more than a Christmas tree, and it was as busy as ever. Not only Nocturnal Nexus was here to have some fun. To their right there was another pack that goes by the name Solaris. They are way weaker than NN, but still manage to get on everyone's nerves. They were assholes.

"Hey Iza, looking hot! Why don't you come with us." - Adrian yelled out, his pack snickering.

Iza's eyes flashed a hue of red. She gave him a smile and put her middle finger high. Solaris started growling, but the Nocturnals quickly hushed them down.

The pack made their way to ERUM. The line was huge and after some waiting they finally got in.

The music here is loud. The bass is resonating with the walls, making some werewolves whimper. Iza held her head high, as she and her pack marched forwards. The female turned around and gave her friends a wink. They understood the sign and went their own ways to party.

Iza strutted right to the bar. She sat on the high top chair and waved at the bartender. The worker gave her a smile, but realized she was an alpha. He bowed to her, showing respect. The female nods in acknowledgment, before asking for a double whiskey.

He pours her the drink right away.

Iza takes her glass, admiring the liquid gold and takes a sip. The burning sensation felt amazing as she gulped down the sacred liquid. The bartender refills the glass.

After a few drinks, the female finally lets herself relax.

Selene approaches her from behind and sits next to her.

"I'll have a shot, please"- she said to the worker. He smiles, nodding.

"You having fun?"- she turns to Iza, gulping down the alcohol.

"Not yet" - the alpha turns to her, smirking slightly.

Selena gets the message and orders more drinks for them. The girls let loose, drinking the booze the second their glasses touch the counter.

Someone walks up from behind, sitting on the other side of Iza. The girls turned their attention to the person.

"Having fun?" - He asked. The male's voice is deep, intimate. He places his hand on Iza's thigh.

The female looks straight at him, her eyes turn red for a split second. The male chuckles, before his eyes flash a red hue too.

"I am William, nice to meet you." - he says delicately, offering a handshake.

"Iza, pleasure to meet you, Alpha William" - she accepts the handshake, maintaining eye contact.

This night was about to get a lot more fun.
