1058 Words
just then we hear a twig snap in the woods xander and my dad immediately step in front of me and began growling. the scent smelled of wolf but not rogue. Show yourself now! xander growls loudly. out steps a small and very emaciated she-wolf. her face looks familiar but I'm not sure if i had seen her before or not. the she-wolf immediately drops to her knees and bows her head and bares her neck to my father. Alpha im glad i found you, Athena sent me to find you. things are getting worse alpha we need you to know alpha. mavis is starving and murdering us for no reason. we are constantly being beaten and abused by members of his pack. they are sadistic. i could feel the heat radiating off of xander hearing that his pack is treating other wolves unfairly.
the she-wolfs name is agatha but she goes by aggie, and she looked familiar because she worked in the packhouse kitchen. tell me everything how is athena. my father says. she is not doing good alpha, mavis has broken her spirit and she barely eats anymore. He is using her as his personal slave and even orders her to mate him even though she doesn't want to. my father lets out a low but menacing growl. i figured as much i could feel it through the mate bond that she is doing worse the longer we are out here.
It's time we leave and head to the pack lands i will end mavis. i am right there with you dad, says xander, and he will not die and instant death it will be a slow miserable one. aggie looks at xander with stupid googly eyes when i step out in front of him growling. MINE!! her eyes instantly snap to mine. princess jenna youuu are alive. yes, i am and this is my mate and future alpha to our packs. she looks a little shocked when i said packs. what do you mean, is he one of them she growls and takes a fighting stance. i instantly grab her around the throat and slam her into a tree. that is my mate and your future alpha you will show him the respect he deserves. we plan to kill the leader called mavis and join our two packs together creating one larger pack and bringing our two territories together as one.
Yes, alpha jenna she gulps out in labored breathes. I-Im sorry please don't kill me. i didn't mean any offense to you or our future alpha. i feel xander hand on my shoulder and it instantly calms me and i release her throat. letting her fall limp to the ground. don't let it happen again i snarl. eve and darius coming running up at all the commotion going on and instantly aggie jumps up to hug eve. Eve! oh my god im so glad to see you i thought you may have been dead. Aggie, you look awful are you ok? how is gemini? aggie pulls away looking at eve he is locked in the dungeons awaiting his death trial. Death trial! what do you mean? eve shouts.
aggie drops her head in sadness. gemini killed one of mavis's best warriors when he caught him r****g a she-wolf from our pack. oh no, eve cries. he was whipped with a silver-tipped nine tails then locked in silver shackles and threw into the dungeons. Mavis plans to kill him on the new moon in a week. eve looks at me jenna we have to go now we can't let gemini die. we will be leaving first thing tomorrow eve, my father says. we can't leave any earlier or our plan will not work out. it just so happens that we planned to attack on the new moon because that's when everything is at its darkest. don't worry eve we will get there in time i promise.
after the twins and aggie are sound asleep in the cabin, we all sit around the fire talking about the upcoming week. when my father starts telling us a story about xanders pack before mavis, see it turns out that xander's pack lands use to border ours and Xander's father and my father were really close and good friends they had grown up with each other always being neighboring packs and all. that my mother and xanders mother also grew up as friends. believe it or not my mom was from xanders pack and she was the betas daughter. and xanders mother was from our pack though she didn't have powerful blood that her father was a strong warrior and her mother worked at the pack hospital. me and xander looked at each other shocked. we had no idea that our packs were once close friends, and that after xanders father's death everything went downhill. mavis took over and shortly after that he broke a bunch of treaties and attacked our pack that's when they became rouged. i think about how if his father didn't die. then me and xander would have probably grown up as best friends also, it saddens me a little at the thought that i missed out on extra time i could have had with him. that saddness quickly turns to anger. Mavis will pay my wolf luna growls out in my head.
after my father finishes the story he looks to xander and says, son. you have never met your father, but if you just look at your reflection you will see him everyday. because you are the spitting image of him. and there is one other thing you should know, though your father didn't carry the hell hound abilities as you do, we had always had our suspicions that he somehow had hellhound fenirirs blood in him. see sometimes the blood lays dormant in some wolves even though they still carry the bloodline and now our suspensions are confirmed if only xavier could be here now. oh, how i miss you, my old friend. xander i promise from here on out till the day i die i will stand behind you and protect you for your fathers honor, son.
i feel sadness wafting off xander and i hug him and my father gets up from where he was sitting and hugs us both.
