A DEATH AND A NEW LIFE
Arianna's P.O.V.
My wolf, Ariel, howled loudly in pain that I was feeling right now due to the loss of my mate, Alpha Sebastian Lockwood. I felt that breaking of mate bond and it was awful. I fell down on the ground on my knees and cried aloud. Suddenly a shrill cry of my baby took me out of my stance.
I instantly converted into Ariel and took the basket in between our teeth. Ariel pushed herself out of the limit to come out though we had a heavy amount of wolfsbane in our system right now. We both knew that it would kill us but we have to save our pup. I felt the vibration under my paws and called Ariel.
"Ariel..... run", I screamed inside my mind and Ariel took the command. From the back of my mind, I saw her struggling hard to keep her pace so that we can save our pup from those filthy rogues. we were almost near to Red Moon Pack territory. Ariel had masked our scent and we got succeeded to dodge the rogues.
Suddenly out of the blue two filthy rogues jumped in front of us and blocked our path. Ariel put the basket securely in between her legs and snarled on them. They instantly attacked together and it was their biggest mistake. Ariel was a Luna wolf and she could bring down 10 strong wolves without breaking a sweat. One of them jumped for the neck and the other tried to catch the hind leg. Ariel was almost 6 feet, far taller than them. She kicked the one trying to catch the hind leg and in one swift move, she dodged the first rogue's attack on her neck and took a sharp u-turn going straight to his neck in the air, and slapped her whole body weight on the other rogue so harshly that he almost flew ten feet away. She sank her canines into his neck and pulled back all his throat out of the hole in the neck. The rogue instantly died and she threw her away from us. She then charged herself on the other rogue who was not able to stand. One big blow punch on his stomach by front paws, she burst open his stomach and then picked the basket again in her mouth.
"We need to hurry, Ariel", I knew that we were getting weak second by second. She shook her head and then again started running towards our destination.
"A little more, Ariel.... we almost reach there", I encouraged her with tears in my eyes. I knew that she was on the verge of collapse. Soon the death would take us in his embrace but before that, I have to ensure the safety of my child.
I felt pressure past my fur and I knew that I made it inside their territory. I didn't stop and kept running. Soon I was surrounded by so many wolves who snarled at us. Ariel gritted her teeth in anger but didn't open her mouth as the basket. They maintained their distance from us and ran along with us. By my height and my aura, they got the message that I was not a rogue. Ariel pushed her last strength and ran fast.
We both collapsed outside their packhouse. The warrior wolves who were still running beside us were still surrounding me. I couldn't blame them. I entered their territory unannounced and didn't stop when they asked for my identity. For them, I could be a threat.
"We did it, Ariel.... she passed a weak smile while laying her head on the ground not before placing the basket securely on the ground. Someone dropped a piece of cloth on me and I changed in my human form. Red Moon Pack was almost 2 hours away from our pack on paws. With the heavy amount of wolfsbane, it was a miracle that we managed to reach here. I felt her leaving me. "No.... Ariel.... please... please... for a few minutes more... please", I pleaded in front of Ariel who had started shutting her eyes. I need a few more minutes to explain everything to them.
"O My Moon Goddess..... Arianna", I smiled weakly when I heard Luna Elizabeth screaming my name. "Someone take her to the hospital", she screamed again while taking my head on her lap. I immediately stopped her.
"No.... Beth... p... please... listen to me", I felt heaviness on my lids now. "Ari.... don't sleep... we will save you.... Christian", she screamed her mate's name this time. I could sense her fear and worry for me. I smiled again while gathering my last breaths.
"Beth... s... save my... daughter... r.... read... the...lett....er", my whole world was consumed by darkness now as I took the last breath with my wolf Ariel. We both gave up together. We both were in peace as we were able to save our pup. I am sure that she will be safe with Christian and Elizabeth.
Marie's P.O.V.
The warmth of sunlight made me wake up from my peaceful and I smile while looking out of my window which was right behind my bed. I love to watch the sunrise. It brings warmth and freshness to our lives and I was more than happy to welcome this freshness into my life.
I am Marianna Miller, the next line of the beta of Red Moon Pack as my parents the present beta of the pack doesn't have any other kid than me. Today was the day that I was waiting eagerly since I remembered the world around me. Normally the werewolves get their wolves at their 16th birthday and Today is my 16th birthday. Today, after midnight, my other half, my wolf would surface and gave me the power that I needed to accomplish my beta training.
I quickly ran towards the bathroom as I didn't want to be late for my training session in the morning. My dad, the present beta of the pack, Daniel Miller, is not a kind-hearted instructor when it comes to training. He can't bear a second late and his punishments are... I shuddered hard standing under the shower. I am his only daughter still I faced his punishments so many times because I was late by two or three seconds.
I sighed and quickly finished my shower. I put on my black padded sports bra with black yoga pants. We, werewolves, were blessed to have a very gorgeous and attractive body. I am no exception to this. I am 5.7 and have an hourglass body with big breasts and heavy hips. I love myself. I looked at the watch after admiring myself one last time in the mirror.
"f**k", I ran towards the door while throwing my hair in a neat ponytail. I ran with a fast speed towards the training ground. I looked at my wristwatch and I had only 5 seconds to be there. "F**k", I cursed while increasing my pace. I didn't want to get punishment on my birthday. No..... It's not going to happen today.
I almost landed on the training ground and panted like a street dog. I was covered in sweat and was panting hard. I looked at the watch and smiled. I made it on time.
"Marianna Miller", I shut my eyes tightly as it was not a good sign when someone called you with your full name in an angry tone. I peeked up and smiled sheepishly. He was looking at me with a cold gaze and I know that I was doomed.
"I made it on time, beta Miller, see", I lifted my watch towards him so that he could see the clock. I actually set an alarm of 5 in my watch and luckily the alarm went on right after I landed on the training ground.
He didn't say but I knew that he was up to no good. Well.... who will know him better than me... he is my father after all......
"Take your positions..... now", he roared and I flinched in fear from my place. He is really scary......
I stood up from my spot and went to my spot in the line of all the other trainees. Our house is on the other side of the Pack House and the training ground is in the exact opposite direction. Mom told me that we came out of the packhouse after my first birthday as I needed more space to play. It was a cute excuse but I never buy this. So..... to reach the training ground, I have to take a complete round of the packhouse which is around two kilometers due to the huge area covered by the packhouse. That was why I needed to take a good run every time to reach the ground on time.
"Today... your timings of runs will be recorded for some further management. You have to take 10 laps of the whole ground", dad roared his order and I sighed. A great start on your birthday.
