I was really overwhellmed by paperworks in my office. Last few weeks was so quiet in pack house. Somewhere in my mind I knew that it won’t be last like this. Just like the silence before the storm. Whatever.. I am always ready for action and what is real I am really craving for some.
Sometimes I am feeling that I need to retire. I admitted that I am an old man now. I lost my mate when I was 20. Such a young age to live alone. After her departure I never touched any woman and now my time was coming for some rest. Having no heir to run their packs so humiliating for a Alpha ‘s but my pack is not a usual one. They have all the respect for me and they know that ı will find the most suitable Alpha for them before my departure.
When I was in deep thoughts my office door knocked and at the same time border guards mindlinked me. “Alpha, we have uninvited guests.”
“I am on my way. Keep the gate secured.” I ordered and looked at door.
“Uncle Jevvy I couldn’t sleep. I had a weird dream.” Said my niece.
“ Not now my little one.” I whispered her when I was touching her pretty little face.
She was the only thing left to me from my beloved sister Claire who passed away six years ago. She was mated to a beta of a forgotton pack. Red Cape Pack was the former name but they were calling themselves Shine Pack, for me they were just rouges. They were weak as their Alpha who left them to mercy of a vicious, evil human. Filthy coward ran away when his pack was attacked 30 years ago. He left his pregnant mate alone to the hands of death.
Somehow the pack survived but always hide themselves. Some said that ghost of a pregnant she-wolf was haunting the coward alpha and because of that he went mad and commited suicide. Some said he shifted his wolf and never shifted back. But I always wished the worst and the most painful death for him which suits a spineless coward.
Unfortunately my little sister was mated to Jack –Beta of Shine. They gathered themselves over 15 years but they were still weak. And the rumours were all lie because when their alpha left them elders hid their Luna during the attack with some help of ancient wolf magic. But she couldn’t handle it and died. The stange thing was her pup was borned two days after her passing away. Moon God works misterious ways. Little boy survived and became the Alpha of Shine. When I found out that Claire was mated to his beta Jack I tried to make her reject him but her beliefs were stong and she accepted the faith that Moon God gave to her. Just like me. I accepted to be mateless so soon after I found her and lost her. Whatever, six years ago Shine territory was attacked again by the troops of Bright. These attacks were kind of annual event, every year Lord Bright used to set a hunting party to honour the dead hunters who ended Red Cape Pack . This parties were always setted during the blue moon. The specific time that every wolf’s nature was calling them to let their wolves free. Such a vulnerable time for a werewolf. We have our most wolfselves by the blue moon and the least humanselves. But this time she was in the end of her pregnancy and Jack was managed to took her to our territory just before the hunting party. Yet he was not fast enough she was on the labour when they arrived. She lost lots of blood and just after giving birth to her daughter she closed her eyes to life.
She died but luckily the last part of her survived. After her passing away her mate couldn’t live with it even his daughter needed him. He killed himself with a huge amount of wolfsbane at the very same night she died. It is obvious I am not his biological father but my six years old niece, Angie is so much more than a daughter to me.
“But uncle it was soooo weird that as it was real and I know it wasn’t but I can sense everyting, I mean scents and everyth---“ she spoke like a typing machine.
“ Angie! I told not now.” I said loudly. I saw she was upset but I was sure I will make it up to her soon.
“Harry, Will, Nicole come quick. There is someone at the shield openning.” I ordered my personal guards. “not human form, I want your wolves.”I added.
As soon as I left the pack house I shifted. My Beta Twain and my guards also followed my lead and they shifted too. After five minutes we were at the gate. There was an old brownish wolf by the gate with a strange cloth wrapped on his back. He was tired and broken I can sense that. He was old as shape yes I can tell but besides his age he was really really old inside I can sense that.
“Introduce youlself.” I told him with my intimidating Alpha tone. I was shocked when he submitted instantly. Unusual.. I was not sure about what should I do. He mumbled something and said my name and title to him with a touch of threatening. Second shocked hit me when he demanded the ancient sanctuary oath.
Oh God! This was surreal. He was that filthy coward Alpha...
Our ancient unwritten laws demands that I must accept his will and give him a home also protection. So I accepted his will. My cravings about action will be fulfilled soon I can sense that clearly.
I turned around and just before I leave he asked for another favor. I was annoyed. Really? What else I could give him. By the time I turned to him I saw something moving in the wrapped cloth on his back. Then I saw two light green eyes attached to a little silver grey furred head of tiny newborn wolf . So innocent and so pure also so strange for newborn werewolfs cannot have the ability to shift before one year old. There is so much unknown about these wolves I thought but as they were so devastated I should give them a little time for their recoveries. At least one night they should have a peaceful sleep after fulling their bellies properly. I can feel the flood of incidents coming. We have tomorrow I said to myself. And all the days
