The Lost Werewolf's Mate

Lurking threat

Despite the Blood Moon pack's isolation, a constant threat loomed over their heads. Rogues often attacked the pack, causing destruction and mayhem wherever they went.

Alpha Victor addressed his leadership team, Beta Ryan and Gamma Emile. “I have called this meeting to discuss the recent increase in rogue attacks on our pack. Despite our fortified borders and remote location, they still find their way onto our land.”

Beta Ryan and Gamma Emile had been patrolling the borders for hours and were exhausted and anxious. Ryan spoke up, his voice heavy with fatigue. “Yes, and our warriors are becoming exhausted from constant patrolling. We need to come up with a solution before the morale of the pack takes a hit.”

“We need to deter these rogues from attacking us. Ideas?” Victor growled.

Ryan leaned forward, his eyes determined. “We could increase our patrols and fortify our borders even more. Make it clear we won’t tolerate any trespassing on our land.”

“We’ve been patrolling and fortifying our borders for months, Ryan,” he bellowed, slamming his fist on the table. “And what has it gotten us? More attacks, more destruction, and more dead pack members! We need a different approach!”

Ryan and Emile exchanged a nervous glance, unsure of how to proceed. Victor’s anger was unmistakable, and they knew they needed to tread carefully.

Emile spoke up, his voice trembling slightly. “Perhaps we could send a message to the rogues? Something to make it clear that we won’t tolerate any further attacks on our pack.”

Victor’s eyes narrowed. “Go on,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “What kind of message?”

Emile took a deep breath before continuing, “We could capture a rogue and make an example out of him. Show the others what happens when they cross us.”

Victor leaned back in his chair, considering Emile’s suggestion. It was a bold move, but it could work. The rogues needed to know that the Blood Moon pack was not to be messed with, and this would certainly send that message.

“And how do you propose we do that?” he asked, his voice calm now but still tinged with anger.

Emile hesitated momentarily before replying, “We could set a trap. Lay a false trail and see if we can lure one of them in. Then we capture them and use them as a warning.”

Ryan spoke up. His voice was tired but determined. “It’s risky, but it might just work. We can’t keep patrolling forever. It’s time to take the fight to them.”

Victor nodded slowly, his expression still furious but now mixed with determination. “Alright, we’ll do it. We’ll set a trap and capture a rogue. But make no mistake. We’ll show them no mercy.”

The team nodded in agreement, their nerves still frayed from Victor’s outburst but now tinged with hope. Maybe this was the solution they had been looking for all along.

Beta Ryan offered another suggestion. “we could also try contacting nearby packs for help. It may be time to ally.”

The response from Victor was less than favourable. He was becoming increasingly paranoid, his fear of being seen as weak overriding his common sense. Ryan countered with another suggestion, but Victor glared at him, his patience thinning. “We’ve always been an independent pack. I’m not too fond of relying on others for our protection. We’ve never resorted to begging, and I will not start now,” Victor snapped.

Ryan and Gamma Emile exchanged a worried glance. Victor’s anger was boiling over. This meant they needed to tread carefully. They had seen Victor like this before and knew it could end badly if they didn’t handle it correctly.

Alpha Victor sighed. “We should train our civilians and provide arms to them. All pack members need to contribute to keeping this place safe.”

Ryan asked him questioningly, “Really, you think arming un-trained pack members is the way to go?”

Alpha Victor leaned back in his chair. “Are you questioning me, Beta?” He glared at him. “I think we have a plan. Let’s implement these changes immediately. We can’t afford to let our guard down, even for a moment.”

Beta Ryan and Gamma Emile just shook their heads, looking at the floor. Victor didn’t see he was becoming a danger to his pack.

Victor stood up, ready to dismiss his leadership team. “We have a lot of work to do, so get to it.”

A blood-curdling howl pierced the air as the Blood Moon pack’s Alpha, Beta, and Gamma wrapped up their meeting and returned to their respective duties. The pack members sprang into action, realizing the howl signalled an attack from rogues.

Alpha Victor shifted into his wolf form with a speed that belied his age, his large black body rippling with muscles. In wolf form, the Alpha was a fantastic creature, much larger than most of his pack members, with thick, dark fur and piercing blue eyes. He was a massive creature with rippling muscles and a thick dark grey and black fur coat. His eyes were the same piercing blue as in his human form, and they seemed to glow with an inner fire that instilled fear in those who looked upon him. He is swift and agile, moving with a fluid grace that belies his size. His wolf's form reflected his human persona, fierce and dominant, with an air of danger that commanded respect. He moved with power and grace, exuding confidence and authority, a true Alpha in every sense of the word.

Ryan and Emile followed suit, their wolves running to the breached border and joining the fight. The air was filled with snarls and growls as the Blood Moon pack battled the rogues who had dared to invade their territory.

Alpha Victor could see the strain on his pack members’ faces as the battle raged. They had been fighting for hours, and the adrenaline that had kept them going was wearing off. He knew they needed to end this quickly, or they would be too exhausted to defend themselves.

“Push harder! We need to drive them back!” Alpha Victor shouted to his pack members. “We can’t let them gain any ground!”

The beta and gamma nodded in agreement, signalling their wolves to attack. They charged forward, their teeth bared and their claws unsheathed. The rogues fought back fiercely but were no match for the Blood Moon pack’s ferocity.

The smell of blood filled the air as the two sides clashed. The rogues were fierce, but the Blood Moon pack was well-trained and disciplined. Victor led the charge, using his immense body to crash into the group of rogues and send them flying. Ryan and Emile fought equally with ferocity, their wolves striking out with claws and teeth.

“Emile, on your left!” Ryan called out, pointing to a rogue trying to flank them. Emile quickly turned and lunged at the rogue, his wolf snarling and snapping at its heels.

Bones cracking echoed through the air as the two sides continued their battle. The Blood Moon pack was fighting hard, but the rogues kept coming, and they were too many to handle. The rogues were tiring, and the pack members smelled victory.

“We can do this. Keep pushing!” Alpha Victor encouraged his pack members.

The beta and gamma continued to fight alongside their leader, each taking on their group of rogues. They were covered in blood and dirt but refused to back down. The pack’s unity was strong, and they were determined to defend their land.

“Victor, they’re retreating!” Ryan called out, a glimmer of hope in his voice.

Alpha Victor turned to see that the rogues were indeed backing away. He let out a howl of triumph, signalling that his pack members had won. The rogues turned and ran, their tails between their legs.

Alpha Victor told his leadership team, “We’ll need to keep our guard up, but for now, we can rest a little easier knowing we defended our pack successfully.”

Ryan and Emile nodded, their faces grim. They knew this was just one battle and needed to stay vigilant. The pack members dispersed, some going to tend to their wounds while others checked on their fellow pack members.

Alpha Victor watched as his pack members scattered, feeling satisfied. They had faced a tough challenge, but they had overcome it. As he walked back to his office, he wondered. “What are they coming at us relentlessly?” he muttered to himself and his wolf Fury. “What are they looking for? Could it be her?”
