Hunter and hunted

Awaken

Unknown P.O.V

I leave my office walking around my compound, hands bloody from welcoming my newest guests. It's been days since I've seen my offspring, I've wondered if he is hiding or just avoiding me, probably the latter, beings he will soon be the new leader of our small community he has many privious engagements that he must attend to. He must be finally stepping up and taking command, I myself have been preoccupied with some duties of my own, duties that have taken me away from our people, trying to gather my army for an upcoming war.

I see one of our butlers walking out to me as I reach the far wall, "Sir, a man has just pulled up to the front of the house." I nod and walk back, reaching the house a hunched over man sits in the living room with his back to the door. I pass the couch and sit in a large chair, "so how can I help you Mr…?" He looks up at me and in a gruff voice " it's not how you help me, but how I can help you." He looks at me with intent and an almost menacing grin. " I know all about you Mr. Wilcox, about how your wife was killed by an unnatural, disgusting being."

I was very surprised that someone outside of our community had heard about our last war when that group that I later found out was a bunch of werewolves had come and invaded us, I swore on that day as I watched the life leave my beloved that I would destroy all of those creatures along with every vampire, changing, and any other magical being that would think that they were safe among humans.

I come out of my thoughts" well what do you have in mind?" I ask. Well Mr. Wilcox I am the leader of an army of rouges, and I have my own reasons to destroy those wolves, and you know what they say, the enemy of my enemy and all that." Scratching my chin, " what size of an army are we talking about?" He looks right into my eyes "close to five hundred" after hearing this I smile, "well with combining our forces we'll have almost seven hundred , I've been training my hunters since I was young, how do we know that they won't have enough worriors to match us?" He smiles and sighs "beings that they are only a pack of two hundred and eighty, and have no affiliation with any other packs?"

I grin, and go over to the bar on the far wall, I pour myself a whiskey, and him a bourbon, we toast "to the fall of the snow moon pack" and we drink.

Zachary P.O.V

I get a mind link from a nurse that was checking on Amanda "Alpha she's awake" I start heading to Amanda's room thinking to myself "what in the hell took her so long, it's been three days" I walk into her room seeing her looking around, for what I have no idea. "Where is he?!" I look at her in confusion and she demands again but with more force" WHERE. IS. HE!?" still confused "who? Where is who?" The look of horror spreads across her face and she utters a single word "mate"

Amanda P.O.V

"Am I dead? Where am I?" I think as I am floating in a giant white room that appears to have no gravity, I'm floating but I am also drifting forward towards what looks to be a bench, a bench with a beautiful woman, porcelain like skin, white hair, and piercing blue eyes as if they were made from glaciers themselves. Next to her is the biggest wolf I had ever seen, the size of a dire wolf from what the old legends say its back reaches around five feet high, as tall as most humans, black and white fur, silver eyes, and long fang like teeth. My drifting finally stops directly in front of her, "hello my dear, and how are we this fine day?" I was stunned to say the least. " Wh- who are you?" She smiles " I go by many names Selene, mother Luna , moon Goddess, or Menelaus, you may call me any of the above." She said with a sweet smile. I thought for a moment bitting my lip "am I dead moon goddess?" A sadden look came across her face "now why would you think that?" With a look of disbelief "well, I'm not in my body" the moon goddess smiles again, "no my child you're not dead, but you are in between the physical and astrological world if that helps." Trying to think of a good question she continues " sadly I cannot answer all of your questions but I will allow one more question since your time here is just about up." A thought came racing to the front of my mind. "Why can I not shift?" This apparently was not the question the moon goddess thought she'd ask "well you are apart of something bigger, part of a prophecy older than I, to bring peace with the whole." As she finishes speaking I feel my body start to desolve and I hear her one last time "after you wake you will find your mate"

I wake to myself saying "where is he?" And a dumbfounded look on Zachary's face. I try to get up out of bed but I notice that I have an IV needle in my arm and some monitors are hooked up to me, "you know…you had us worried there for a while kid." Zachary only called me kid when he was worried about me. "Please Zachary, where is he?" I pleaded. "Who are you talking about Amanda? Are you talking about that guy that showed up a couple of days ago?" I go to answer but stop "a couple days?" He chuckles "yeah apparently you were exhausted and with everything going on I could see why." I couldn't remember what happened during the attack so he explained it to me. "Then some guy hobbles over to you, picks you up and takes you to the hospital." His eyes go opaque and turns back to me, "well Dr. Carol is on her way to check on you and then if the guy is still asleep as well you can go see him, but you'll be in a wheelchair." I open my mouth to protest but get interrupted "as a precaution, no arguing."

Moments later Dr Carol comes in smiling ear to ear, "and how is our sleeping beauty doing?" Walking to my bed. "I'm fine doc, is that man nextdoor awake?" Dr Carol stops "sadly my child no, he had extensive wounds from over the years, obviously the people who tried to heal him had done a piss pore job so we had to put him in a medically induced coma so we could fix what we could, there will be minimal scaring of what we did but the scars that he had sustained before will stay the same." Dr Carol, I love this old bat, she was one of the first to console me after my father was murdered. And she was the first to see how I was after the funeral, she never left my side those few weeks that I was a complete mess, first I killed my mother when I was born and then on my fifteenth birthday my father died, don't get me wrong dad did everything in his power to make my birthdays memorable but two parents dieing on two birthdays people don't really ask why I don't celebrate it anymore.

My door opens and to my surprise it's Reggie "heya sleeping beauty, tired of waiting for your prince to come give you a kiss?" He snickers, Zachary glares at him. Dr Carol finishes checking me out, "you are fine to get out of bed but you will use a wheelchair to get around no ifs ands or buts about it." Since she was like a second mom to most of us in the pack I don't tend to argue with her. "Yes ma'am" she gets up and walks out the door leaving me with my friends. "So we were attacked, what are we doing about it?"
