Chase walked into the pack house heading straight for Emandra’s room. For someone who has been trapped underwater for as long as she was, she was so warm, all thanks to Laan for keeping them from drowning. Chase felt happy he was not going to punish Sofia, but leaving it to Laan was a better punishment. She had the backing of her father and her father had that of the council, carrying the punishment out personally would not only put the pack at risk but also lead to the withdrawal of the Anderson amenities. He had wealth, however, it would never be enough in the face of a war they could not predict how long it would last. ‘’Are you leaving everything to Laan?’’ Enzo asked, stepping out of the bathroom with a warm towel. He had changed her into dry and more comfortable clothes. Her hair was still dripped with water. ‘’Well, I can tell it would be best if she handles her. I do not want to give the Andersons the impression I favor Emandra over Sofia and punishing her personally would
The screams from Sofia were all that could be heard; her body was covered in bruises. Her father sat in rage as he watched his daughter being beaten by the shadows. Not they were not beating her, they were playing with her. Just like a cat toy with a mouse, the shadows toyed with Sofia's body giving no chance for her to seek help from her wolf. Her wolf would be no match to them, they might as well just command her to do the beating on herself but what fun would that be? ‘’How can you all sit calmly and watch as she kills my daughter, she is the future. Isn't it the duty of the pack to protect Luna and Alpha on first instincts? Mr Anderson roared. ‘’Chase was not ready to face him, no one could stop the shadows. He knew better than forcing his will on them in such a state. ‘’Mr. Anderson, your daughter beat, tide and a pack member beneath the depths of the northern lake to drown, as if that was not enough, she made sure to cover her mouth so if the water didn't kill her suffocatio
No one got any good sleep through the night. The antagonizing painful screams from Sofia were enough to keep everyone on their feet and awake. Her wounds were healing but painfully, Enzo watched from a corner as the doctor tried all he could to calm her yet to no avail. They had done something to her, the beating was not the punishment. Unlike they all had thought, the beatings were not the punishment, hearing was and it was far more painful. ‘’Please make it stop, I don't want to heal but make it go away’’ Sofia pleaded as she cried out in pain. She could not stop her healing. Using silver or wolfsbane would slow it down but at the end of the day, a werewolf's body is built to heal. Her sweaty hands held on tight to the bed far, her claws digging into the hard word without an ounce of difficulty. ‘’My body is burning, I feel so cold. Why does it feel like we are by the lake? She asked a thousand questions at once. She was totally out of it, the pain was the only thing controlling
‘’Calling an emergency meeting when the pack is under threat, that I don't take as good ethics’’ Chase hissed in annoyance taking his seat. They were elders all right, but he could not keep up with them and their outrageous demands. The elders all glance at each other picking who is to raise the topic. ‘’If you all would stop fidgeting then we might as well begin or I should leave since it doesn't seem to be important.’’ he was in a foul mood. Just the sight of Sofia irritated him. ‘’Alpha, we may be at the front of war, but you would need a luna to be able to win this war.’’ Mr Anderson answered. Of Course, they were all silent as usual, how could he expect anything less from minds that have been bought over? ‘’Mr Anderson, as promised I will marry your daughter, I will give her statues of a luna. She will run this pack along with me isn't that the bargain we made?’’ Chase was not in for cat and mouse chase. ‘’Indeed Alpha, it was the initial agreement but we all watched the cur
Chase was fast on his feet running right behind Enzo as he escaped his life. Haze looked nothing like his usual self. Enzo was having a hard time keeping a good distance and he fell numerous times. ‘’We have to shift Enzo, give me control’’ his wolf fought for control. Enzo shifts very slowly and painfully. He had never had to shift while so distracted. Part of him wanted to stop and reason out things with his friend but the look in his eyes was very far from friendly. Enzo ran into the forest now keeping good space between the both of them after his complete shift. He had nowhere to run, they ran all over the forest each panting but not giving up. ‘’Head for the east border, with the help of the gammas we can stand a chance to beat him up’’ his wolf did not like the idea of them beating their alpha p but it was a good plan for the moment. Enzo could not think of a better plan. Chase had murder instinct and the further he was away from the town the better. ‘’Come on beta, that's a
The wedding preparations were in full swing, and everyone in the pack had a duty to play. Chase walks into Emandra’s room, closing the door behind him. She was still yet to wake up, every doctor had confirmed her long sleep to be stressful and while Haze and Emma chatted from time to time, he was sure there was nothing to worry about. Her powers were too much for her body, the shadows had not anticipated realizing so much power on her before the official meeting ceremony. His night chats with Emma were very fruitful, he could never want to miss out as she answered every question of theirs and talked about themselves. It was something like dating, he was getting to know her through her wolf. ‘’Our mating ceremony can not be held off much longer, once she wakes up we should do the needful’’ Haze tells him. Emma had mentioned something of such. The powers within him had submitted to Haze, his thirst for blood was very much still there, however, it was not as strong as it had been th
Chase quickly tore away himself from the venue. ‘’Everyone should head for safety. Gammas take care of the children and pregnant women. Enzo came with me’’ his voice was thundering. As people scrambled and searched for safety, Stephanie had to pull Sofia away towards the pack entrance. The gates were shut as soon as Chase and Enzo ran out to meet up with the others on the eastern borders. ‘’I told you they were coming’’ Haze snapped at Enzo. While he set up precaution measures the previous night Enzo had not stopped taunting him of being paranoid and a pussy. ‘’Well, now I know you have foresight so hurry up, I want to see you unleash those fangs on them,’’ Enzo snapped. The borders reeked of rogues; the stench was too much bringing forth a wave of nausea. Enzo grabbed a plant forcing it into his nostril, I could not afford to be distracted and puke his guts out like a pregnant woman while on battlefield grounds. ‘’Why do they smell even worse than the last time?’’ he asked Haze
Lanterns and gifts lay on the door of every home of the moon crescent pack. It was a gift left out for Gamma. Mathew was in charge of gift collecting. Gift collecting was an old tradition, old as the beginning of time. With every victory, the pack members put out lanterns and wrapped presents which the warriors would pass by and collect. The present ranged from dried fruits to war supplies such as bandages and some medication. It was more of a way to support and thank the Gammas for their sacrifice and protection. With the celebration in full swing, everyone had long forgotten about the canceled wedding but one. Sofia could not bring herself to support the men or join the celebration. She felt so angered that the rogues had taken the only time which should have been all about her. Under the disguise of the night, clothed in a long black veil, Sofia escaped the pack borders heading towards the snowfall pack. A car prepared by her father was waiting and they hit the road. The ride w
