We were shocked to hear that word but what shocked us more was that the same word was spoken by 2 voices and one came from somewhere very close to me, looking ahead of me was the Alpha of howler pack, Alpha Cane.
And the 2nd voice came from my left, Sarah!.
First, she was shocked, but you could see love, care, passion, and longing in her eyes, this is what it makes these werewolves more human, the mate bond is a strong connection between two individuals, But then she masked her face with disgust, well you might as well would want to know why she hates werewolves so much. let me tell you a story of how we came to be such a good acquaintance
FLASHBACK
I was 10 years old when I first met Sarah, I was in the forest with my father, he was teaching me how to Hunt in a stealth mode
we were on a tree, keeping an eye on every movement made by the animals, suddenly we heard a howl of pain looking around I found a little wolf, it was the size of a small dog, it was also being chased by 4 huge wolves they were adult wolves fully capable to tear the little wolf to shreds, the little one was bleeding too much, its leg was bitten very harshly teeth marks were deep till It's bone, it also had cuts everywhere.
It was a brown color wolf, but the cause of the blood turned shade a bit darker making it appear like maroon. it looked scared to death, and without thinking I jumped from the tree and landed directly in front of the wounded wolf, the wolves looked at me but before he could do anything, my dad shot him them dead with his arrow hitting straight between his eyes, one by one all of them were dead.
I took slow steps towards the little wolf, it was scared of me, when I looked into her eyes, I felt her pain, her struggle, her fear, I knew the ways she looked at me, so I smiled and knell in front of it offering a friendly rub on its snout
"Hi, I am Angel, don't be scared, I won't hurt you," I said smiling warmly genteelly rubbing her rough fur
"We need to take her home," I said looking at my father, who was already looking at me. with pride, he nodded in understanding and looked at the injured wolf
"Ok, but she needs to shift back into her human form," he said examining the wolf
" Can you shift back? " he asked with a fatherly smile
It shook its head no, I looked at my father in question, he just smiled and said "think of yourself in your human form"
She closed her eyes maybe doing what she was told to do, a few minutes later we saw her shift back, it was a painful process for her, maybe this was her first time? when she did turn back, my father took off his jacket and put it around her covering her nude body
"I am going to carry you to our house ok. tell me if it hurts, " he said and carried her like she was made of fragile glass, she fainted on the way home
"Daniel? come to my house it's an emergency, " Dad said to our personal doctor, within minutes he was there knocking at the door worriedly, first thing he did was look at me. checking me for any injuries but when he didn't find any he looked at me confused
"What's the matter?" He asked, I just pointed at the injured girl in my guest room
As soon as he saw her he started with his work, as he was stitching up the wound he faces my dad "werewolf?" He asked with an eyebrow raised as he saw the wound had started to close on its own
"We saved her from 4 wolves when we went hunting today "I answered him "is she going to be, ok?" I asked concerned, looking at her face, her face had countered in pain like she was thinking of what she had been through
"Don't worry Angel, she'll be fine she is a very strong girl, just like you "he said smiling to comfort me, I nodded at him taking in his words.
he left when he was done after her dressing wound and asked us to call him when she wakes up, I gave one of my dress to my nanny. so, she can put it on her, she looked nice, like a sleeping beauty, waiting for prince to kiss her awake then they can live happily ever after
5 hours later she woke up when she did she started freaking out, I caught her hand to calm her down, when she looked at me and relaxed.
"Can I ask you something?" I Asked after giving her some water to drink which she gulped down in seconds. taking the glass from her hands I placed it on the bedside table, and sat close to her on her bed holding her hand to comfort her
She just nodded wanting for me to continue my interrogation, " why were you running? And why were they trying to kill you?" I asked. I know I'm just ten years old but I know all about killing.
my question made her burst into tears, maybe reliving the horrid memory. I carefully hugged her and let her cry on my shoulder. when she was done she let go and wiped off her tears
"I was playing with my friends in the garden of my house, but lots of wolves attacked us, they killed all my friends, my mother was the Luna of my pack, she pulled me aside and told to me to run and run as fast as I could and never come back, I cried and said I won't leave her but she pushed me away, she was attacked by a huge wolf and he tore her apart, I saw my mom, my friend's, everyone die right in front of me, so, I did what my mom had asked me to do. I ran and ran but they caught up with me and bit my leg, somehow I escaped and ran away, that's when you found me" she finished her story crying again
"Which pack do you belong to?" my father asked her out of nowhere startling me and her with his calm voice. he was there from the begging and heard her sad story
"Midnight pack," she said and my dad said he will find out why her pack was attacked, being the King he can do anything, her pack was attacked because the Alpha of the other pack wanted to expand his territory.
how cruel. they didn't even spare a little child. horrible monsters
surprisingly my father was gone for a couple and when he returned he promised us there won't be any kind of trouble for Sarah ever again. later that day we heard someone say that the midnight pack was ambushed by Hunters and none of them survived, I'm not shocked. I knew my father took care of it in his own way.
END OF FLASHBACK
The Alpha started walking towards her with steady steps, growling lowly when she didn't comply but she held her hand signaling him to stop, which in return he growled but that did not scare her
"Stay where you are Alpha. if you value your life" she said in a dead serious tone
"You. Are. MINE" he roared, his claws coming out of his hands, his eyes turned complete black with anger,
"You're mistaken, " she said with an emotionless face and faced away from the Alpha
"Let's get over with this," she said Sam, whose eyes were wide maybe his Alpha never received such kind of rejection. 'well, there is a first time for everything'
"Alpha these are the Hunters King Drew sent to help us," he informed to his Alpha, addressing him respectfully, but he was still staring at Sarah with love and lust
"Attention everyone, these are the Hunters that will be training you until you learn everything, and that-" that he is pointing at Sarah "- is your Luna. so, I want you all to respect her and her friends and do as they say," he said smirking at her, as though he was trying to mess with her head,
"I. Am. Not. Your. Mate" she said pausing every word so he can understand and not act like a retard that he is
"I don't care what you think, but you are my mate and the Luna of this pack," he said gesturing to the crowd and left to stand among them
"Come on everyone, lets train, "Sam said clearing his throat to the people in front of us, who dispersed into smaller groups.
"My name is Angel. I will be teaching you how to use weapons, Zeus will teach you to fight with agility and Sarah will teach you how to fight in your wolf form " I said and we started with the training
"I need a volunteer, " I said when it was Sarah's turn to teach, a hand was raised within the crowd and it was a girl, with a minimum amount of clothing, she came in the front and stared at Sarah hatefully
"I will break you and throw you in front of the roughs so, they can feast on you. you can't be the Luna of this pack," she said starring at Sarah with vengeance "because it's my place and no one can take it away from me," she said with so much venom.
To annoy her, even more, Sarah just smirked. and relaxed her body
"Shift" Sarah said which she gladly accepted, she turned into a normal gray color wolf and it was way smaller than Sarah's. And she thinks 'she stand a chance against the Alpha blood'.
Sarah stayed in her human form which ticked the little she-wolf, even more, the she-wolf lunged towards her but she was easily pinned to the ground. Cane was watching this fight with interest, as his so-called pack mate was just moments away from death, but no matter what we won't harm the innocent, not even the bimbo wannabe the Alpha female
"Rule number 1, never underestimate your opponent-"I said leaning towards the pinned she-wolf "-especially if it's a very well trained Alpha female," I mocked the she-wolf who was trying to get out of Sarah's grip, her movement got sloppy which meant she was losing her breath
Sarah let her go, who took this opportunity to lunge at her again but easily failed, she was kicked in the ribs breaking them, the she-wolf howled in pain.
"Rule no 2, never I mean never let your anger take control over you. that's when you die a very painful death" I said looking around at the crowd gesturing them to watch the she-wolf closely as she howled in pain
Everyone was watching this session with interest but not Cane, he was so damn proud of Sarah. I could say that just by seeing in his eyes. pride and respect flicker in his eyes
"Rule no 3, don't let your ego blind you," I said to the she-wolf who had a few broken ribs and I think Sarah broke her leg and her arm.
"Sam takes her to the pack doctor, I don’t want her dying on the very first day, " I said, Sam took her in his arms but I can tell by the look of his face he doesn't like her very much.
We trained them for 2 more hours then everyone was exhausted so we were off to go to take some rest as well.
