the eclipse pack:alpha Nellie

chapter sixteen

Chapter Sixteen: Uncovering the PastTension rose among the pack leaders as they tried to comprehend how the late alpha could possibly still be alive."Unless it could be him," Lord Chio muttered quietly."Who is 'him'?" Nelly asked, her sharp ears catching Lord Chio's words.Asipita glanced at Lord Chio. "She should know about this by now," she suggested."Fine," Lord Chio agreed, nodding."Wait, you can't mean that lunatic!" Lord Denridge exclaimed loudly."Who are you talking about?" Lord Marksons asked, his curiosity piqued."I'd like to know as well," Nelly added, feeling a mix of anticipation and concern.Lord Denridge began the story, "Years ago, when Alpha Norman was a child, he had an older brother.""He was the child of your grandfather and a hybrid," Lord Chio added."A hybrid of what?" Nelly asked, curiosity evident in her voice."I'll explain," Lord Denridge continued. "His mother was a witch and his father was a lycan, making their son a powerful trybrid with both good and evil potential. But tragedy struck when his mother died when he was eleven. Two years later, Alpha Calvin found his mate and had a son—your father."Lord Denridge paused momentarily, and Nelly urged him to continue. "What happened after that?""Yes, it was just getting interesting," Nelly added.Lord Chio took over the story. "Luna Edna loved both her son and his brother, Nephrite. When Norman turned eighteen, he transformed into a powerful wolf, raising suspicions about Nephrite's intentions. Norman discovered that Nephrite had been feeding wolfsbane to wolves since he was four years old and uncovered many of his dark deeds.""Norman reported his findings to the alpha, who set a trap for Nephrite. Nephrite and his followers fell into the trap, and most were killed, but Nephrite escaped. When Norman became alpha, Nephrite attacked with a group of hybrids. The pack fought back and won, only to discover that Nephrite had killed the former Luna."Lord Chio's tone grew solemn as he continued, "Alpha Calvin went mad with grief. It took the strongest members of the pack to subdue him. Once again, Nephrite escaped and hasn't been seen since—until now."The room fell silent as Nelly processed the information. The revelation of Nephrite's dark past and possible return cast a shadow over the pack, leaving Nelly and the lords to consider the implications of his potential involvement in recent events.
