Chapter 3 - Changed

Chris’ PoV

~ 6 years after the encounter ~

Over the past few years, a lot has changed, now I'm 20 years old along with my underground pack known as one of the strongest and most deadly  wolf packs on earth known as the Midnight Pack. Our identity and location are not known in public, outsiders only know of our undercover names but not our real one unless if we told them or used them during our mission but since we always change our identity, it’ll be hard for anyone to even find us or know who we are. To others, our pack are basically a mystery, a place that are thought to be non-existent since we don’t contact other pack houses, forming treaties or making allies.

The main reason why we don’t contact other pack houses despite the benefits it may bring is because the Midnight Pack are full of members who were betrayed, rejects, or have suffered something terrible from their previous pack or life. By experiencing the cruel and miserable world, we came to understand the only people we can trust was ourselves.

And as some of you may have guessed, this pack is made up of rouges who roamed around the world trying to find peace for themselves and as someone who experienced their struggle, me alongside Sarah and Zack formed this pack to give a safehold for those in need of help.

It is also a way to let others know that they are not the only ones who is suffering and by bringing all these people together, we can become stronger, providing the love and protection we all deserve.

And since everyone suffered similar pain, members of the Midnight Pack were all compassionate, they treated each other with respect and kindness regardless of their ranks and most of all they respected their alpha and swore they would never betray their alpha and their pack.

And here is the most surprising thing, I’m the alpha of the pack! I know right, I never knew I would have such an important role but seeing how everyone was happy, I didn’t mind all the work, I was happy I was able to help and make less people suffer. Alongside me are Zack who was elected as the beta and Sarah as the third in command due to her calm and collective personal that made people around her feel at ease. Zack on the other hand was a more serious individual, carrying out pack business, doing paperwork, going on patrol and so on, he was basically a great help when I’m not around or busy.

And as for the pack, there wasn’t many rules, just that we don’t kill, steal, or do anything illegal unless if it’s completely necessary. If any of these were broken, the individual would be looked at by a case-by-case situation before deeming their punishment.

As for the daily duties, we are like any other normal pack houses, we carry out pack business, training, bord patrol alongside having search parties being sent out to welcome any rouges in need of help. We also carry out work given to us by the wolf society which are basically a government that overlooks werewolves society and ensuring peace are kept.

And as an undercover pack house, we work alongside the wolf society by taking on their missions, majority of which given to us were taking out evil wolves or going undercover to protect specific individuals. There are also some missions regarding other supernatural beings and hacking. So basically, we do a lot of work under the shadows.

But anyways that's about all on our pack. But one thing that changed the most within these 6 years is that the pack members became more trusting of each other. I even found out that Zack was originally a soon to be alpha, but his dad died, and his uncle took over and kicked the true heir out of the pack so now he's here along with Sarah.

And as time gone pass, I also told them my story starting from when I was 5 years old until I escaped the Night Moon Pack and meeting them.

After recalling all those awful memories, I had chills go up my spine but at the end of the story I calmed down, knowing I am safe now and that I am not the girl I use to be furthermore, I also got used to all the horrible treatment so now I just don’t seem to care anymore however as soon as the twins heard it, they were angry and upset. But luckily, they didn't show any signs of pity, they believe I was a strong wolf, and I endured all those cruelties and that they believe in my ability to lead this pack and that was one of the main reasons why they have become my trusted allies which was something that I was grateful for.

Overtime we gained more power and now we have about 500 pack members which is smaller than your usual pack but strong overall due to everyone's spirit.

We have built our pack on no-man’s land as no one dares to come in and it's also well hidden from the outside world.

Over these past 6 years, I've gained a lot of things including building up my own company known as Desigtec a well-known famous company for their fashionable style and unique outlooks, furthermore a competent and unknown CEO that's hidden within the midst who never reveals themselves.

And yes, I'm that CEO and the owner of the company however I never come out in public, so no one knows of my identity except for trusted workers within the company.

As for me, my looks have also changed, now I have long pitch-black hair that grew out and looks luxurious whilst my usually dull brown eyes began to have life and spirit compared to my past along with my body growth which gave me all the curves in the right places however I don't use them which is what Sarah said.

Instead of wearing fancy clothes that fit to my body curves and showing them off like normal girls, I prefer to wear comfortable clothes like hoodies and leggings or jeans. And my favourite colour / shade is black so of course majority... okay fine all my clothes would follow my taste.

But anyways regardless of what I wear, on special occasions e.g., admission of new members into our pack, a special ceremony would be held whereby I would have to present my face when making the blood pact to welcome them into our pack as a greeting. Other than that, they would normally see me wearing a hood, it's like a part of me, something that keeps me calm as I don't have to face unwanted attention of other people.

Even if there was a meeting, I would always be wearing a hood so that I could avoid unwanted attention from other pack members due to having a female alpha among their midst was seen as rare but also regarded as incompetent.

Whereas the company, unlike my pack members who have at least seen my face once in their lifetime, the company only have a small amount of people who have seen me or know my identity and those are also my most trusted people. Some of them being supernatural and others being human. However, the company refer to me as the dark mastermind due to my dark colour scheme I.e., always wearing black and my face covered by the hoodie.

Majority of people who don't know me would think I was a man not a woman, but I didn't care much for it if our business is done without any problems then it's all good.

As for my ex-mate, he's been having sex for the last 6 years, more like every day, the pain I suffered when I was 14 was unbearable but slowly it became easier until later when I became 16 that the pain came back but ten folds causing me to collapse and dwell into the darkness.

And by the time I woke up, everything around me became dark and dull, and I was told by our pack doctor that the pain I suffered was due to my mate marking another she-wolf as theirs. To be honest, this was expected for someone who disregards their chosen mate from the moon goddess, and I was glad that I have ran away or else I might have regretted it. He was an a ****** and as my wolf has said, he doesn't deserve us.

So instead of dwelling about our ex-mate, we began to train hard and work to form a large company and providing investments to charities for children in need and provided some funds to orphanages as they were once a place that gave me happiness.

So overall, I've changed... I've changed for the better and I would never go back to my weak and pathetic self from 6 years ago.

I've gained the confidence, the courage, the friends, and allies including prestige and power. I am a new wolf; I am not the weak Christa but the new and improved Chris C.
