Blood moon

Chapter 62. Everyone was Shocked

—She's crazy, and if my son doesn't wake up, I'll tear her apart with my claws!

—Shut up— was all Hunter could whisper.

His voice brought everyone to a halt. The older woman was in shock, she could see behind the figure of the werewolf a small figure with a black robe, the feet were not visible under the robe, she could see that the person had a spectacular crystalline skin, she understood almost immediately who was the person who was next to the werewolf with red eyes, the woman rushed to her knees and extended her arms, without even daring to speak.

Harold only had eyes for his youngest son, it was a relief that he had been able to return, in the rumours he had heard about what happens when they drink the aconite plant the werewolves vomit up their bile, they become extremely weak and some end up having hallucinations, others could even become violent, for that reason it was not worth trying anything that woman said, but he could do nothing for his youngest son but have faith, because the woman was right about something, traditional medicine was far from being able to solve what he had.

Harley felt the change in temperature, then he noticed a woman in a robe in front of him, the dressing gown was as dark in colour as if it would swallow any light, but he could see through the hood that the porcelain skin was so delicate that it was hard to take his eyes off it, As soon as he realised that the grey-haired woman beside him was kneeling, he realised that it was the Goddess, he was totally frightened, so he followed her movement and pulled his father to follow the movement, the leader of the herd did not know what to do.

Harold Halland felt the words had escaped from his mouth, how was it possible that a woman had appeared without them noticing? They had been on the lookout for the enemy, but in front of him was the small woman in a black robe, as soon as his head was near the grass he realised that there were no feet to support his stance.

It was the Goddess, it was not an old wives' tale. It was reality, he even realised that the air had changed, a powerful smell had arisen in the air, it was flowers, magnolias, their delicate citrus scent with a slight hint of vanilla flooded his lungs, it was as if time had stopped.

None of the three dared to raise their heads. They couldn't believe it was the goddess herself, none of them thought this was possible, the goal was for Hunter to be relieved, they didn't think she would come down, there had been no reports of sightings since the stories of the creation of the werewolves.

Hunter was confused, he was worried about his girl. He didn't understand why they had knelt down, he didn't know if it was some absurdity of being the alpha wolf with the red eyes, but he couldn't believe they weren't paying attention, the woman in his life was in danger he had to help her.

A hand swept over his head, drawing attention, as soon as the werewolf turned to see her he gasped. His figure was small but trim, his face was refined, his eyes were large and of a colour he had never seen before, they seemed to change as soon as the light passed through his eyes, he seemed to be like a rainbow.

—Little young werewolf, you have crossed a long road, one of pain— his voice was deep, it was intense and manly, it was powerful for his small body —You were selected from birth to fill a great role, it is a pity that you do not want the future that was chosen for you.

Hunter didn't know what to do, not even how to address her.

—I...excuse me Goddess...— the voice was hard to find in his throat, the words didn't seem to want to come out —I'm nobody for you, I want to thank you for coming here and for the gifts you have given us, excuse me for talking to you, I'm nobody to talk to you.

The little werewolf was too embarrassed, he had no idea what he should say to her. He wanted to make her feel the respect that had been instilled in him, for the presence she had up ahead, but nothing came to mind, he had always been too informal with his known friends and older men, he didn't know how to refer to her.

—You are charming, just as I thought you would be when you saw me, you are very sweet and I know you have the concern for the human girl, it is impressive that you are willing to lose everything simply for her, it is the love I have always defended— the small woman had a sweet expression in her eyes.

—It was lucky to find her and now she is in trouble, I am proud of who I am and if I didn't have the gifts that you gave us, I wouldn't be able to protect her— she was stuck for the words she wanted to beg him to give her the strength to fight for her, because she didn't want to ask him to save her, she had done many things for the werewolves, she hadn't come to earth for years, it was so amazing that she had no idea how to ask for it.

vYou don't have to say it, you are so respectful to my figure, and I know you will do the right thing, so yes, I will let you go and look for her, but now I can tell you that she is safe, nothing will happen to her life, she had a panic attack as humans say, but she is fine now, I can swear it— then Hunter could breathe.

Harold Halland was completely interested in this conversation, he was very curious about what will happen next, then he started to look up, but as soon as he did he realised that she was looking at him in a terrifying way, which made him salivate, no doubt the woman was not as sweet as she seemed.

—You've always been a bold one, I've always disliked you Harold Halland, you made the wrong decisions years ago and now you think you can control the destiny of your children— the older werewolf felt the tension on his neck, as if he was struggling to breathe.

—Ma'am, I have no excuses," he apologised, setting his eyes back on the grassy ground.

—You say these things but you don't mean them, you eliminated any ritual that was inspiring me, you thought I was a product of folklore, and that I didn't exist, although your thoughts were not serious, your actions against the herd are, those beatings of your youngest son, how you belittle the females and the mating, have made everything detrimental, which I can no longer overlook, I am tired of the inefficiency.

—Madam, excuse me, I have no excuse for my behaviour.

—I should eradicate you from the earth, and not be remembered— the woman moved forward to stand in front of him —I should turn you into what you despise most, become fully human and keep the memories of the pack, so that you see the things you have lost, because you have no idea what a gift has been given to you and you cannot value it.

—Forgive me goddess, I had no idea of my actions, I did what I could with the pain I felt for the loss of my mate, it has been difficult for me to have two sons, I know I was very hard on the youngest, but he had a very difficult personality that had to be mastered for the good of the pack, having two alpha werewolves can be problematic, but by his grace they never had major problems.

—You are making excuses for your bad behaviour, why shouldn't I make you human?

There was a stony silence.

—I know I am no one to address you, but I beg you for my father's life, the man has no bad intentions, he just doesn't know how to handle his temper— Harley interjected, trying to defend the indefensible.

The woman remained silent, looking at the alpha with contempt, she did not like the insolence he showed by not following the rules, he thought he was superior to everyone, but he was not capable of having respect for the most basic things.

—Harley Halland, arrogance made werewolf, you're being interrogated by the man who allowed you to live a life of privilege and lavished you with luxuries so that you could do whatever you wanted at the expense of the pack's resources, so that you betrayed one of the members, your own brother for your own horniness and now that human is pregnant.

Everyone was shocked.
