The Wolfs Viking

Chapter 7: The First Blessed Wolf

~Chief Calder's P. O. V. ~

When Saga's sister left, Saga collapsed on the ground and started screaming. I tried to get her to focus on my voice, it wasn't working, when I picked her up, she started screaming more. Then she fell unconscious, the Moon Goddess did say it was going to be painful for her, the first blessed wolf? What did that even mean? I hadn't the slightest idea. Take her back to your village. Said a voice in my head. I guess that Moon Goddess can talk to humans in their minds. It didn't make this situation less confusing or less worrying. I took Saga in my arms and headed back towards the village, it was getting colder out. The sounds of normal wolves and owls were echoing through the trees. Most wolves will steer away from humans, but what about other wolves? I wondered if they could smell Saga's wolf. Eira, I think is what Saga called her? This is still rather odd to understand. They made it sound as if there were 2 souls sharing the same mind. Is that possible? I wonder why she chose Eira for the name. Seeing her wolf for the first time had me frightened yet in awe, her eyes echoed the moon. Moon Echo, Adlais Lleuad! Now that is a name befitting her wolf. A soft laughter entered my mind Indeed it did. I thought of her name when she was born. However, much like that moon echo, her eyes and markings resemble her homeland. That is why Snow is her name. How can one get used to hearing another voice in their head? Wait!

"When she was born?!" I shouted. Just as I thought, they are 2 different souls. I began to wonder how that would feel. What would my wolf look like if I chose to make the transition? First, I had to get my woman back home. I said I wanted to build our relationship first, I meant it of course, but now that I have no doubts about that second chance mate information that Saga was talking about. Do I accept her? Yes, I do. I will keep my promise to also build us. I want to learn everything about this woman I hold in my arms.

I got up to the gates of the village and was greeted by my people, all had worried looks. Shouldn't they be in their homes by now? I motioned for them to clear the way, my people made a path as they bowed their heads in respect. The children were lining the sides with tears in their eyes.

"Chief Calder?" Torsten came up to us. "Is Lady Saga alright? She... She seemed unhappy today, what happened to her?" This child cared for her deeply, why was their bond special?

"She'll be fine. She and I were..." I had to give them a lie, "Watching the moon climb high into the sky and she fell asleep on the tree trunk we were next to." I hated lying to my people, I knew they wouldn't understand if I told them about Eira. "As for earlier today, she was worried that I wouldn't accept her into the clan." Although, that was a half truth, it was also a half lie. "I am taking her to my quarters where she can rest."

"Your quarters?" Torsten asked, "Does this mean you are betrothed to her, sir?" Damn, this child is observant. His parents are raising him well.

"I know it's only been three weeks, but, I am starting to fall for her." Fall for? I already fell, landed and was dragged through the core of Valhalla. I kept walking as Torsten followed me.

"Does this mean Lady Saga will become Chieftess Saga?" Oh, little one. In time I am hoping she will.

"Torsten, it's passed your Nott time. Get along, now. Your parents would be disappointed if you woke them up too early." I gave a little chuckle. His face of shock could make a horse laugh. Once inside my home, I put Saga in my chambers, she needed the rest. I left her on my bed and went to my people, thankfully they were going back to their homes. It's absurd to think it's only been a short amount of time since I saw Saga laying in the snow. Hakon hurt her, but I will be the one to mend her. If I see that scoundrel again, I will put him down like the dog he is. I know Saga could probably do it on her own. It's for her honor that I should do it, though. Remembering what happened last time, she couldn't look him in the eye. No, worse, she couldn't stand his presence. I couldn't blame her, how can someone face the one that broke their heart and spirit? You could not. It's my responsibility as her second chance, I will put her back together.

This blessed wolf information is eluding me, The Moon Goddess said she'd be the first . That sounded more like a proclamation than a warning. Does she intend to have more blessed wolves out there? It would make sense, Saga will be the first but not the only blessed wolf. I do wonder what that would entail, we will see in a few days. That got me thinking, if she's the first blessed wolf, was she also the first rejected wolf? If she was, no wonder she would rather die than have a second rejection. Things like rejection probably spread like wild fire on how painful it could get, no one really knows what that pain had been, until now that is. If she was the first rejected wolf that would make me the first second chance mate and one that's not Werewolf kind. I looked back to my home and thought how someone like this Felmen man could threaten a young woman. A person just doesn't threaten someone like that, he has known something about Saga for quite some time, otherwise, he would have done the same to her sisters. It cannot be simply for her being Hakon's mate. I have to look deeper into this, but how? I can't ask Saga to go back to her pack.

"That's it!" A single fire. I could get close to their territory and ask that Hakon meet with me. I know it's going to be a long shot, but this is for Saga and if Hakon still loves her, then he will be my inner spy. The Saana Mountain was at least 3 days of walking away from here, I would have to come up with an excuse to her and bring along a decoy in case she tries to follow. In 3 days I will have my answer. I will talk to him from 1 warrior to another.

~Kali's P. O. V.~

I couldn't believe it, she made me cower, Saga had never done that before. Then again, previous Alpha threatened her life and if I was being honest with myself, I would have reacted the same way if I had my wolf. I looked down at my now scarred up arm and hoped that what ever Saga does, she's happy. The Moon Goddess said I had a choice to make, I can't very well abandon my pack, but I can't abandon my sister either. That's when I knew I had a 4th choice, I would act as if I am part of the pack and act as if I am hunting down my own sister for declaring war on us, but in truth I'll be keeping an eye on her and keeping her safe from the pack. I know no one would want to harm her except our previous alpha. Something about him felt off to me, until now, he never interfered with the pack, Hel, he never allowed himself to be seen by the pack and now he had the audacity to banish my sister?! He's hiding something from us, and I am determined to find out. I ran back to the pack territory with haste to let Thyra in on my plan, she would know what to do. I only hope that this doesn't get out of hand. I wonder what mother and father would say if they were here now. I stopped and looked up to the night sky. Mother, father, please forgive me. Forgive Hakon too, he never meant to hurt her. Looking back into the forest I began running again, no one in the pack was nearly as fast as Saga was, exception was the Beta. He's missing too, now that I recall it. Previous Alpha Felmen is behind it some how, I just know it. Just you wait, you monster, you will die by my sisters and I's hands.

~Thyra's P. O. V.~

I was pacing the house waiting for Kali to return when a blinding white light blinded me, I had to avert my eyes to keep them. When I turned around, I saw our own Moon Goddess sadly smiling at me with soft eyes. I bowed down to her and waited for her to speak.

"My daughter, your sisters have made decisions of their own free will, now I tell you this; Saga has declared war on the previous Alpha. Kali intends to act as a spy for Saga without her knowledge because she feels as if Felmen has a secret to hide. What will you do?" My sisters are going against the pack? "Not the pack, my child. Just Felmen." I felt light headed hearing this, my sisters are declaring war?

"Why would previous Alpha have a secret?" I asked

"He knows what happened to your parents, my child. Be wary of him. He made Hakon reject Saga because she could uncover his darkness in the cellar. I pray that you all succeed. Fair thee well, my dear." I had so many more questions for her, yet now I am curious, if he knows what happened, and is keeping it a secret, does this mean he had something to do with it? If so, Kali and I will find out. When she gets home, we'll make a plan. Thank you, Moon Goddess.
