LUNA'S QUEST

CHAPTER 8

LUCIAN'S POV

i watched her as she ran back towards the pack but still had some unsettling feeling as I didn't want her to get caught by he guards.

Not that I cared about her, I just didn't want her to fall into the trap of Luna Aria, she's so merciless and could kill anyone that dares stand in her way, I'm sure her son is not an exception.

“Go after her Lucian” Lan was urging me as if I was her guardian or something. As the moon was almost at the center of the sky, my brownish gold colored fur took on a grey appearance and I was able to camouflage into the night as my movements were swift and i hid behind the buildings.

I slowed down my pace when I was a few distance away from her not wanting her to feel like she's being followed.

She was almost reaching the Alpha's residence when I saw her slowed down feeling reluctant to go forward, I knew she was thinking of a way to get pass the guards.

She hid behind the last pillar, suddenly an image appeared behind her and gripped her shoulders, I almost sprang into action ready to tear that person apart just then I saw the panic in her eyes died down.

I relaxed a bit but still stood alert and watched as the elderly woman took her through the back, there was a secret passage door, she seemed to have trust in this woman as I watched them go through the door.

I couldn't continue my watch over her as they slowly disappeared into the darkness, I turned to go back into the forest but I couldn't as my once peaceful night had been dusturbed by this cowardly girl the moon gods paired me with as mate.

I turned my back to go into the neighborhood of the omega’s where I reside, the buildings in this pack varies from size to size depending on one's ranking.

The Alpha (leader of the pack) resides in the most biggest and we'll decorated building, the Alpha's right hand man (the Beta's) buding is a lot more smaller than the Alpha's followed by the zeta's.

Many pack do not have zetas but for a pack as big as the primordial’s, a zeta is needed. The zeta is the left hand man of the Alpha followed by the gamma's whose duty is to be the pack's trainer.

Now to the omega's, the omega's are of low ranking, not really considered to be important in a pack but the omega's in this pack are kept to stand as security and watch guards, they play a vital role in the safety of the pack and do not attract much attention from the higher ups that's why i chose to reside here.

The lota's which are the lowest of all ranking play no important role, they mainly consists of old men and women, children and ladies. They're meant to be watched over and protected as they are regarded as the heart of the pack.

Walking slowly through the last turn before my buding, i took this time to reminisce on life before now. It wasn't that easy as I grew up in a foster home, I never got to know my dad and I was told my mom was murdered by a group of warewolves from the primordial pack under the command of Luna Aria, thereby robbing me of maternal love.

There's never a day that will pass without

me thinking of ways to exact my revenge, here I am standing before my door waiting to be greeted by nothing but emptiness. I changed back into my human form as I walked into the room closing the door behind me.

I further went inside, my steps echoing through the walls, a little cramped bed located at the rear end of the room and a table lamb seated at the right corner beside the bed, i didn't need much to survive.

I layed on the bed looking up at the ceiling and slowly closing my eyes allowing myself to be engulfed by the emptiness, my heart has been filled with nothing but darkness and I doubt if I'll ever get to see the light.

NOLA'S POV

I pleaded with madam Daphne if there was a way I would be allowed to go train with the rest of the warriors, “women don't train in this pack, the training and fighting are all left for the men to handle” was her reply.

“Why do you wish to train?” I turned to look at her, I have been expecting this question. I don't trust her fully to tell her about my plans of revenge to the Blood moon pack so I had to come up with another reason.

“I want to be able to defend myself and my pack in case of another invasion, I'm tired of running and hiding, wishing I could do something to help. That's just an excuse for being a coward” I said genuinely.

I could tell I had touched a soft spot in her heart, she seemed to be impressed.

“Child you don't have to worry about invasions anymore, no pack is stupid enough to attack the primordial pack, we surpass them both in strength and number and we have the blessing of the Moon goddess here with us” she assured me.

“Blessings of the moon goddess?” I couldn't get a grasp of what she's saying. “Every warewolf under the moon’s guidance posses the blessing of the moon goddess, is there some kind of hidden blessing I don't know about?”.

“I don't want to confuse you child, as for your training, I think there's a way we could go about it”.

My eyes instantly lit up at hearing this, “really madam Daphne?” I really didn't expect a positive response from her, I just tried pushing my luck and thanks to the moon goddess, it worked.

“It comes with some conditions though” madam Daphne said bringing me back from my thoughts. “You would have to wake up earlier before any other maid and perform your maid duties before you would be allowed to leave the building”.

“The earlier you wake, the earlier you finish ur task meaning more time for you to train” she added.

“Only?” It seemed too easy. “ If that's the only condition then I am down for it”.

“ Good, you are assigned to be Alpha Damien's personal maid”.

“Wait, what?”
