Maxwell and the others sat down to think about what they wanted to know first. Bryce was the first to ask, “ Who are you really?”
“My sister, brother, and I are the only survivors of the royal wolf family. We are the last of our kind. Our mother was the Queen Alpha, and our father was the King Alpha. Leadership and power are passed through the female line since the Moon Goddess is a woman; it makes sense that she would grant power through the female line.” Dominic explained.
“I did not know the Royal Family still existed? We had been told that the Royals had died out Centuries ago. How is it that you still exist? And who are those that are with you?” Ryder asked.
“When the wolves had started to migrate out of Russia to America's our Great-Grandmother let them be, but always kept an eye on them just as our Grandmother and Mother and soon our Sister will. When we had asked our Mother about why we didn’t rule the American wolves, she said that for centuries you had managed yourselves appropriately. We never needed to impose the old ways since your ways worked, and there was peace. These men that are with us are our Guardians, who are the Nobles of our community. They have been trained to defend the Queen and the royal family. They are all Noble Alphas.” Ezekiel said.
“How did your pack work? I remember you said something about a Council.” Maxwell asked.
“ Yes, our pack was set up as the Queen and King, the royal children, the Second, the Third, the nobles which are called Guardians, the scholars, the medics, the farmers, the members. The ones that I listed are considered part of the noble class. Well, not the members. They are considered the working class. But are still treated with respect,” Dominic said “ The Great Council was supposed to be leaders from the other packs in old land that help the Royal family with knowing what is needed and how the other packs are doing. But some thought that since the Americans did not need our leadership, they should run their own packs the way they wanted. I know that my Mother and Father were really lenient on the packs and how they were managed. But when they started to invade and destroy other packs for no reason other than they wanted the land. My mother had to put a stop to it. The council got mad over this and started to plan to overthrow our family.”
“Wow, that must be really hard. So what is a second and third?” Graham asked.
Isaiah stated, “ I can answer this, from what I have observed is that the Second is like your Beta and our Third is like your Gamma. The Second manages the pack when the Royal Family is gone. And our Third is normally the head Guardian; they are in charge of the Guardians and their training. I am not sure what your Gamma does. What does a Gamma do?”
“I can explain what I do,” Gamma Elliot said, “I am third in command. When the Alpha and beta are gone at the same time, I lead the pack.”
“That makes a lot of sense now,” Elijah said.
“What are Guardians, and what do they do?” asked Graham.
Elijah said,” Guardians are like your warriors, as you call them; we are broken down into two groups. One is Guardians, and the other is Defenders. Guardians are the ones that defend the pack and royal family at the Place. The Defenders are the ones that go and fight while the Guardians ensure the safety of the pack females, children, elders, and omegas.”
“You have Omegas in your pack? Why?” asked Elliot smugly.
“Our Omegas are viewed as the special children of the Moon Goddess. She selected them not to have the wolves, not because they are weak, but because of their pure heart. Our job is to protect the chosen children and ensure they are safe and treated just like any other member of the pack. We have seen the way you treat your Omegas. Why do you treat them so poorly? The Moon Goddess knows what she is doing. Why would you not treat them the same?” asked Ezekiel.
“I have never thought of that. Our Omegas tend to be weaker than most of the wolves. We have been told all our lives that Omegas was a shame. But what you have said makes sense. The Omegas of this pack have all been so kind and have had special traits that benefit the pack.” Maxwell then looks to Ryder and says, “Make sure the rest of the pack knows that the Omegas are to be moved to the old empty packhouse. We also need to make sure that the house is fully working. Ezekiel is right. We should treat them better. Now we know, so now we will.” Maxwell stated. He then turned back to the others and asked, “ Why has no one ever heard of the Blue Crescent Pack?”
Ezekiel smiled, “That is easy; we didn’t give you the full name of our pack. It is the Blue Crescent Moon Pack.”
“I have heard of it, but that is just it. There is no other information about that pack. When I went to the overseas pack records, what I could find was only the Blue Crescent Moon Pack, but it said that it had been gone for two hundred years,” Maxwell said.
“That is what the council wants the word to know. Our pack was destroyed about a week ago. The bags we brought with us contain all our history of the Royal wolves from when the Moon Goddess created us.,” Dominic said, “ We must teach it to Lilly so she will know her past as well as her future.”
“I can not believe this. You are telling me that the royal family has only been gone for the past week, and there are no real records of it?” Maxwell asked, getting angry.
“Yes and No, yes, my parents are gone, but we are still alive. No, my parents made sure that all the important history came with us so the council couldn’t destroy it. Which is what they wanted to do.” Elijah said.
“This council must be corrupt if they have destroyed all the information that fast,” Ryder stated.
