Nameless, under the moonlight

Her identity

*Cali POV*

The Epsilons keep closing in on me. They are sprinkling things at me and it stings my skin. I look at where it stings and see my broken skin but it soon heals and closes as if nothing happened. Everyone gasps. My secret is out. I am definitely dead.

“A witch!”

“Alien!”

Guesses of what I am fill the air. Wait! How am are even able to hear them in their wolf forms? What am I?

Sky is howling and trying to push forward against the massive wolf. He won’t quit until the second one, even bigger than the one he was wrestling, moves forward and growls at him. Thats definitely Terrence, Alloy’s father. He is a giant of pure muscle and that does not even do justice to him. I am standing but have to look up and sprain my neck to see his head. All the other wolfs are in a submissive position now, except Sky. He growls back at the Lycan Kings. That is deadly. My heart is sore for him. I called him a spoiled brat at times but he is fighting against Lycans for me.

Something is not right. He marked Phoebe, he should not be risking his life for me. It’s also selfish of me to let him.

I squeeze through the Epsilons and advance towards him. The Lycans strangely let me get to him. I hug his black flurry head and blink back my tears.

“It’s a loosing battle big boy. I love you too but it’s time to stand down,” I whisper as tears scream down my cheeks.

He locks eyes with mine and takes a submissive position, but Terrence is fuming. He howls and growls. The disrespect was unacceptable, I guess.

“Kill her,” he orders Sky to kill me. That is how he can redeem himself.

Sky springs back to his feet and roars his defiance.“No!”

“You will both die!”

Terrence’s eyes are now blazing as he literally towers over us.

“Dad. Please don’t,” Neptune pleads with his father.

“Please Grandpa. I will die,” Alloy joins in.

I don’t know why they are coming to my rescue. Besides the weird interactions I had with them during my ovulation cycles, we hardly ever really talked.

“What?” I can hear the irritation in Terrence’s voice.

“Please look in her eyes,” Neptune urges and I start trembling as Terrence takes one big step towards me. What is in my eyes?

I am glued in one place and there is that hypnotic feeling again.

There’s array of emotions in his face as he looks through what I don’t even know. He shudders and frowns. A Lycan shudders. I must be an evil force or worse.

The sun is starting to rise when he backs away.

“Clear out!” he shouts to everyone as something bursts out of me. All I see is gold. So much gold. Even the sun and the grass looks gold. It’s all over me. Yes…me…Gold. That’s my name. I am a wolf. At least I look like one, except I am massive. I am not Dane big and definitely not Terrence big but bigger than everyone else. I am even bigger than Alloy and he is bigger than all the Alphas. My fur is gold, like shiny gold. Golden sparkles roll down my coat as I move. I am beautiful.

Everyone is looking at me in amazement. I can see my golden colour reflected in their eyes. Then I sense it, danger. The Lycans and Alloy don’t look threatening. They are looking at me weirdly but I am used to that. It’s the least of my concerns. I can hear their heart beats loud and clear. That lub dup is the same rhythm as mine. The three of them smell and feel familiar, very familiar. Like Marcus familiar. It’s not them I am sensing. I turn around to find all Ruber city pack old warriors and Leroy’s father charging towards me. They are all relatively retired yet they are the ones charging towards me not our young warriors.

“Dad?” Leroy asks, clearly confused. Somehow I feel all his emotions.

“Can’t explain now son, Gold must die,”Leroy’s father declares. The greedy bastard! I thought he was demented, clearly not.

“You know her name?” Leroy asks looking at his father then Diana who is beside his father.

“I had no idea who she was. I would have killed her a long ago had I known,” Diana tells the Alpha.

“Dad?” Leroy is still confused and agitated. It’s no secret that he hates Diana.

“Long story son. It’s our pack or hers,” he says before instructing his warriors. “Attack!”

I see the Ruber pack’s young warriors turning to Leroy for direction. His father is technically the Alpha but they hardly met him. Leroy has been the one in charge these past five years. We all thought his father was severely demented, only Diana and his family had access to him. Leroy told me that he was not mentally well since his mother’s death. Was he pretending to be ill or what? Why would he do that?

“Dad, can we talk about this?” Leroy urges.

He does not get it but I see it all. I know who I am. I know everything. Definitely no slave but they made me one. His pack wiped mine out of existence for our burial grounds the day I was born. Those grounds are now their gold mines, except it’s never theirs. They contracted them to humans and making trillions out of them annually. They killed my pack for wealth.

“No time for that now son. She gets stronger, we act now,” the old man dismisses Leroy.

I know what he means. For years they tried attacking my mother. Gold, Alpha of Golden pack. My tears roll down as I see her. Beautiful, fierce and undefeated. They waited for her to be in labour with me. She was powerless and could not defend against their attack while in labour. Someone cut me out of my dead mother’s womb. I can’t see his face but I can hear his voice. Golden spark, he called me for years.

My attention snaps back to the threat before me.

“Dad!” Leroy shouts as his father’s wolf jaws slams on my hind leg. Now I am pissed. They killed my mother and my pack. I howl loudly and feel the ground shaking. My heart pumps furiously, anger, hatred and resentment spreading through my veins. They should be on their knees begging for forgiveness but no. I will kill them all…
