CHAPTER 2: A wrong decision

POV: Darrel William.

I never knew that watching TV could bring so much pain and sadness. And so much Anticipation,Longing for someone. 

I was sitting in my living room after a long day of work when I turned on the news. Just like any other day, I was expecting to hear stories about politics, weather, and maybe even some human-interest pieces. 

“Here we have seated with us, the brave investigative Journalist,who assisted in bursting the crime ring that the Anthony family has been terrorising New York for 30 years. Let’s welcome, Ivory Wells.” I heard as I sat on the chair in front of the TV. Ivory walked into the arena, her smile bright.

A smile that I had missed for years. Seven years. Seven years had passed since I had set eyes physically on Ivory. Not ever since I angrily banished her from the pack, years ago.

 She was different, very different from the 18 year old Ivory I had known, fallen in love with and chased away.

The girl who had once been reserved and quiet was now bold and confident, and I swallowed hard.

Ivory was being interviewed about her involvement in busting the Anthony family's crime ring. As I watched her speak, I was amazed at how composed she seemed. She recounted the events of the investigation with precision, describing how she had used her skills to gather crucial evidence that had ultimately led to the Anthony family's downfall.

The interviewer asked Ivory about the challenges she faced during the investigation, and she didn't hesitate to recount them. “I remember getting into a bit of an issue when I my disguise was fund out. I was chased almost round the whole New York, by Jame’s Anthony’s goons. Not only that, they bugged my house and crated away hours of works I had put into the investigation. They thought they had me. But I ran.” She said and the people on the show chuckled. Her wide smile made its way to my heart.

Just like the way it had made its way when I was younger.

The interviewer asked Ivory how she managed to gather the evidence without risking her safety. Ivory responded with a smile, "I had help from some friends who were willing to take a risk for the greater good."

Her face glowed with Pride, as she spoke.

As the interview came to an end, the interviewer turned to Ivory and asked, "What message do you have for other young women who may be facing similar challenges?"

Ivory took a deep breath and spoke directly into the camera. " When Life throws Lemons at you, make Lemonade with them. You know,I had a bit of tough Adolescent life.” She said and paused, swallowing hard, her eyes forming tears. I could see them. “But I moved past it, and here I am today. Don't be afraid to speak up and take action. Your voice matters, and your actions can make a difference. It's not easy, but it's worth it.” She said with a small smile.

“And that’s a wrap on, Only The Brave Ones Seek Justice, today, I’m guessing you had much fun with the New Justice seeker, Miss Ivory. Do join us again tomorrow at Six pm and I will see you on the flip side.” The anchor said and the show ended.

As I sat in my dimly lit office, surrounded by files and paperwork, my mind couldn't help but wander to the werewolf spy I had kept in the human world. His words echoed in my head as I recalled our last conversation, where he had informed me of Ivory's dangerous investigations.

I couldn't help but feel a wave of concern wash over me as I thought about the danger that Ivory was putting herself in with her investigative work. She was a talented journalist, with an uncanny ability to get to the heart of a story, but sometimes that came at a cost.

I remembered the unease I had felt when the werewolf spy had told me the details of Ivory's current investigation. She had been digging into a dark and dangerous crime that involved human mob bosses,and a bomb had been set in her car, if not that she had been warned Prior, she’d have lost her life.

And her silence. I stared at the copies of Letters I had sent her over the past year, with No reply from her. I sighed angrily and exasperatedly. I didn’t understand the silent treatment she was giving me, even though I know she has the right to be extremely angry at me.

Deep down I had wanted to tell her the truth. Behind the real reason why I had expelled her. Since she was Wolfless, and there was Crisis within the werewolf world, it was needed that I expelled her from my pack, to maintain the peace and the balance. I knew that he wasn’t capable of hurting anybody, hell, I knew Jenna hadupdet her that night and that she didn’t mean to push her down the stairs. I just had to do what was needed for my pack and I. 

I watched as Jeremy, sat on the chair beside me, watching from my Tablet as Ivory came up the screen for a News report. I watched as Jeremy jotted down Ivory’s name and information,and silently walked away. Jeremy was my son, even though I had no idea who his mother was. I abdndoned my work and followed him silently, watching from his peephole. He walked to his laptop, pressed in some buttons and checked his savings Jar and I understood what he was doing.

He was going to find Ivory. I texted my Beta, Hardin and he came inside my study.

“Get ready. You’ll be making a Journey into the human world with Jeremy.” I said and Hardin stared at me.

“To do what?” He asked with his eyebrows raised up.

“To find Ivory Wells. And when you find her, protect Her and Jeremy as well. With your life.” I said.

  • Reckoning of the purple moon   UNITY DAWNS

    POV: Ivory WellsI emerged from our cabin and felt the warmth of the morning sun on my face. That tragic day in the cave had been three months ago. Even though so much had changed, other things stayed reassuringly similar."Good morning, drowsy head," Mia greeted me as she jogged up. "Ready for the big day?" I smiled. "Ready as I'll ever be, I think. Who gave pack picnics the go-ahead?""Oh wise leader, that would be you," she jokingly said.We strolled to the central area, where pack members were busy getting everything ready for the festivals. Near the food tables, I saw Darrel chatting with Hardin and Marcus. "There you are," Darrel said, drawing me in. "We were just discussing the new patrol schedules."Marcus gave a nod and said, "Joint patrols are operating efficiently. Now my wolves feel comfortable here." "And the training program?" I inquired with Hardin.He grinned. "Better than anticipated. Kira has a talent for instructing the younger ones." "Dad! Mom! Take a look!" Jeremy

  • Reckoning of the purple moon   PAINS AND SACRIFICE

    POV: Darrell WilliamsWith the bright light gone, an unsettling silence followed. I attempted to clear the dots from my vision by blinking. When my vision returned, I saw Callum on the ground, lifeless, with Darcy and Jeremy kneeling next to him. "Callum?" Emotion-laden, Ivory's voice broke the stillness.Heart heavy, I took a step toward her. Callum had become the brother I'd always wished he could be in his last moments, something I never would have imagined myself feeling sorry for."Is he...?" I was unable to complete the question. With tears flowing down her cheeks, Ivory nodded. "He's gone." The children gazed up at us, shock and anguish filled in their huge eyes. Shouting, "We didn't mean to," Jeremy said. "We didn't know it would..."I gathered them both into a close embrace. "It's not your fault," I firmly stated. "Callum made his choice. He saved us all." I began to notice the world outside our small group as we grieved. Rovin's army was nowhere to be seen, and the cave entr

  • Reckoning of the purple moon   THE PRICE OF REDEMPTION

    POV: Callum WellsI heard the others converse, make plans, and feel hopeful. I felt ill from it. How were they so innocent? Calm amid the packs? Saving us all with the powers of the children? That story was a fable.But as the evening went on, I was plagued by a persistent discomfort in my stomach. What if they were correct? What if there was an alternate route? I shook my head, attempting to dispel any uncertainty. I'd gone too far to go back at this point.The cave became still as the morning drew near. Most had gone to sleep, worn out after the activities of the evening. But I was unable to sleep. As my thoughts raced, I relived each step that brought me to this point.Curled up beside Ivory and Darrel, I found myself staring at Jeremy and Darcy. They appeared so little and so innocent. Was I truly ready to give them up for power? "Can't sleep?"Ivory was observing me with cautious yet nonhostile eyes when I turned around."Just thinking," I said in a whisper. She inched forward, t

    POV: Darrell WilliamsChaos ensued inside the cave. In a flurry of fur and fangs, wolves snapped and hissed, crashing into each other's bodies. Amidst the chaos, I lost sight of Ivory and the children, and my heart raced with concern for their well-being."Ivory!" I yelled, my voice hard to make out over the commotion. Something heavy crashed into me from behind. I turned around and met Callum's twisted smile."Hello, my old friend," Callum said with a sly smile. "Miss me?" I didn't use words to squander time. We collided, stumbling in a mass of limbs across the cave floor. I caught a glimpse of Marcus fending off two of Rovin's goons."Darrel!" A voice spoke above the din: Ivory. "The kids!" I glanced up and saw her cornered with Darcy and Jeremy. With a look of hunger in his eyes, Rovin was charging towards them. My veins heated with rage. I hurled Callum off of me and lunged in the direction of my family.But before I could get to them, an unforeseen event occurred. With a surprisi

    POV: Ivory WellsI started to get shivers as the howling got closer. It felt quite exposed suddenly, this small clearing.With a tight voice, Darrel stated, "We have to move. Now." Marcus gave a nod. "It's not far to my den. There, we'll be secure."Unsure if we could trust him, I hesitated. But after seeing the exhausted looks on Darcy's and Jeremy's faces, I decided. We had to find shelter quickly. I kept having the impression that something was missing as we went through the woodland. Callum and Rovin had surrendered too quickly. What did we fail to notice?It turned out that Marcus' den was a cleverly concealed cave system. We assembled around a central fire pit once we were inside. With his eyes darting nervously to the cave entrance, Jeremy sat close by. I held his hand and whispered, "It's okay. We're safe here."He gave a nod, but it was clear he wasn't sold. Not one of us was. Marcus cleared his throat. "Now, I believe it's time for some answers."Darrel sat up straight. "You

    POV: Ivory Wells“Jeremy!" I screamed as the fire surrounded my son. My heart halted, horror clutching me like a vise. Then, though, the flames disappeared as fast as they began. And something else lingered where Jeremy had stood.A wolf, but unlike any I had seen before. Its eyes shone like fire, and its fur shimmered with an ethereal brightness. Darrel muttered next to me, "Oh my god. Is that...?"Not sure what to say, I nodded. Our son had developed into something much beyond our wildest dreams. Marcus moved forward, amazement ablaze on his face. "The prophecy," he said quietly. "It's true."Jeremy's wolf turned its head and stared at every one of us individually. Its sight locked with mine, and I felt a flash of recognition. My small son was still in there."Jeremy?" I called gently. "Can you understand me?"The wolf nodded gradually. Darrel stepped forward, his hand out. "Son, can you shift back?" Though nothing changed, Jeremy's new shape shimmered. He whined, sounding frustrat
