"This is not acceptable!" I shouted inside my father's office. Many of the elders and high ranking wolves gasps in my reaction.
His dark aura looming inside the room but I don't care. It's my future we're talking here. He should fight and the pack. We are wolves for Moon sake!
"Adellee, this arrangement was made by our ancestors. I can't say no to them. It's our duty to protect our pack in any cost." Alpha Elliot said.
He is my father, the Alpha of SnowMoon Pack. We are now discussing the contract send by SilverMoon Pack. This contract is the living proof of our grand ancestors making allies to SilverMoon Alpha. They helped us long time ago in a war. The Alphas made a sealed contract binding the third generation to marry each other. Potential mate or not.
"This is my life! How can you force me to mate that blood sucker Alpha. We know them, they have a very bad reputation specially the leading Alpha now. I will not marry him." I said firmly.
Alpha Kayden is known for his cruelty and prestige. He made them even stronger when he acquired the Alpha title five years ago. They become conqueror and destroy of their enemies packs. He is a living proof of hell on earth.
I don't know why the Moon let this happened, but this is too much for all of us to handle. We, the SnowMoon pack have known for being white fur wolves plus the snow land we have. We are strong pack for a long time now and that is because the SilverMoon pack helped our previous alpha and the continuous alliance since then.
"If you don't do this Adellee, our pack will be shattered. They will kill us all if we break the contract." Elliot said.
"Do you want to see us all dead before you agree with this? We are wolf Adellee! We are leaders of this pack. You are one of the best female warrior and healer here, even you still can't shift. Do you want us all to fight for you? For your life? Is your life important than the whole pack?" Alpha Elliot asked.
I almost breakdown when I heard his question. Can I risk their lives exchange to mine? Can I start a war for the sake of my own freedom? My family, the family of our pack members, am I really willing to sacrifice them all?
"Maybe try to know him first before you decide. He doesn't even know this contract too. Maybe he is furious like you, they can break the contract Adellee. You at least try this things before you decide." Father said.
I fall back to my sit. I look at everyone face. They are all looking at me, pleading to do what is necessary for the pack.
If I can make that Alpha hate me or dislike me, maybe he withdraw the arrangement and break the contract.
That idea gives me strength to agree with it.
"Okay fine! I'll do this. But I want all of you to know that this is not easy for me too. My chance to have my own mate is at risk now, I may never see him or feel him again because of this. But for the sake of the pack, I will do this." I said half smiling to everyone. I know I need to be strong and show no weakness to my people. I am the daughter of Alpha Elliot of SnowMoon pack. This is my duty to protect my pack in any cost.
"Thank you Adellee. This is a big sacrifice for you but you made the right decision for the pack." First Beta Martin said. He is as old as my father. Soon, when Dexter is old enough, he will takeover the Alpha position of my father. Though I am the first born, still I'm a female. My brother deserve the title because he is working so hard for that.
"I will do all that I can do to make this work." I said to all of them. I know it's a lie but I can make excuses when the day comes.
"Were counting on you Adellee." Dexter, my brother said.
"Father, did he know that I can't shift?" I asked. Maybe I can use that as a reason for his to back out in this stupid contract or what ever arrangement they made.
"Yes, but he still want to continue this since they are known to have a word of honor. Alpha Kayden ensure me that he will follow this arrangement." Alpha Elliot said.
I feel week this time. So he knows that I can't shift! I said to myself. Though I know inside my wolf is still sleeping. I can feel her but she's not awake yet. How long I will wait for you wolf? How long? I asked her but still..... she's sleeping.
"Can I go now Father? I'm too exhausted. I need to pack my things right?" I asked.
My father look defeated. I know he doesn't want this but he can't say no and start a war between us and one of the most powerful pack in the world.
"The first beta of SilverMoon will be here tomorrow to pick you and your things." He said.
"So I guess, I really need to pack my things." I said.
"This meeting is over, you can all go home now." Father ordered them. The whole council of the pack leave the room except Dad, Dexter and I.
"Father, are we really doing this to Adellee?" Dexter asked.
"Yes, Dexter." My father sigh. "I don't have a choice. The leaders, Elders and high ranking warriors already decided for this. Me being the Alpha, needed to attend to their concern. And they want to give your sister to the SilverMoon pack, even they cage and send her to Alpha Kayden with ribbons at the top." He said. He is the Alpha but this is majority of the peoples votes. He can't say no.
"I'll be fine Dex." I said to him, though I don't know what is waiting for me there. A whole life of hell!
"I don't agree with this! This is wrong." Dexter said. He looks mad and sad at the same time.
"Get over with it Dex! I am your big sister, stop acting like a crazy little brother." I said trying to change the mood.
"Be careful Adellee." Father said.
I smile back to him and hug my baby brother. I'm sure, I'm gonna miss them a lot. They are my best buddies when my mother died giving birth to Dexter. That's why, I took good care of my baby brother until now.
It's been one week since we came back. I know Kayden has been eager to talk to me but I avoided him. I sleep next to his room and don't allow anyone to come near me. "Adellee, you need to open this door and talk to me. I need to know what's wrong. Why are you being like this?" To be honest. I don't know how to face him after discovering that I am really pregnant. I don't know if It's Lukas or Kayden children. Yes, children because I'm having a twin. As I checked it, the possible day that I conceived was the day Kayden and I had made love and Lukas rape me. Moon goddess, what I'm gonna do. I can feel Kayden's sadness and it doesn't help my situation. My wolf also seems silent the day we found out that we are carrying a pup. She doesn't even know if the child is wolf or vampire. I was looking outside the window when Kayden decided to break the
Maybe this oracle thought I couldn't kill her because of her status. She's courageous enough to dragged me down in this secret passage. Doesn’t she know who I am? Even if my wolf is still weak I can kill her.I pulled my hand to release it from her hold."Get your dirty hands away from me Oracle.""Do you think I like to hold your dirty hand too? I was just given an order." Katarina said."It's over. You're illusion to take down my mate is over. He will find me and kill Lukas." I said."I know.""Y-you know? What are you talking about?" If she know's that Kayden will win and Lukas will die, why would she risk her life and her gifts to help that demon?"I've seen the beginning and the end of Lukas but I can't tell him. If I did, things will change. If that happens, I will not know the outcome. At least he dies today and maybe reborn again." She smirks as she said that."You're crazy.
Will we really trust them? We are not sure if they will abide by the agreement. Maybe in the end, instead of us saving Adellee she will be even more ruined."Jaxson, we have to gamble on this thing. I know it's hard because we're against them but they are the only ones at these times who can help us to find Adellee. I'm taking all the options that I have and as you can see they are the only options we got. ""Alpha, everything is ready outside. We can leave now." Connor said.I nod."Jaxson, I have something to ask you. Make sure Adellee's father is safe in this fight. I don't want Adellee to be sad if anything happens to her father.""Don't worry, you can count on me to protect Alpha Elliot at all times." Jaxson promised.SilverMoon an SnowMoon pack gathered outside the pack house. I spotted Alpha Elliot talking to Connor. I looked at him as acknowledgment of his presence.
The castle became busy at night. I told my guards outside the door to call Lucille because I need someone to help me with my bath. Though they look at me like I'm stupid. Mike went to the kitchen to get her.Lucille came with some bath items in her hands."Lucille what's going on outside? Why are they making a fuss?" I asked."Did I mention that's the real reason you called me at this time." She said while putting the staff in the bathroom."Say it!""Calm down Adellee. They're making a fuss outside because Master Lukas came back bloody from their fight with your mate's pack. Master's fighters are also wounded. Everyone is busy taking care of them and taking blood to speed up their recovery.I couldn't help but happy at the outcome of Luke's attack on Kayden. I hugged Lucille and jumped on the bed."Adellee wait, I'm not done yet."I let her go and waited for what she would say next."
There's a big funeral inside the pack today. Most of SnowMoon warriors who died was sent to their home to be buried properly base on their tradition. Alpha Elliot traveled with them to lead the ceremony.I, on the other hand are looking to the families of my warriors whose grief are unmeasurable. One by one they said their goodbye and pray for the Moon Goddess. I can feel that she's watching her child and mourning with us.I looked at the night sky and pray to her to keep my mate strong. I will do everything to get her back and avenge the families of my dead warriors.I stand in the middle where the bodies was put above a stage made of woods. We will burn their bodies and send them back to our creator.I slowly put the fire and watch how it burn the bodies of my warriors. 'The Goddess will Blessed your soul.' I prayed.After a few hours, Jaxson mind-link me to go to the dungeon. The vampire I we caught is already awa
"Alpha, we are all set and ready for any attack. Alpha Eliot also and the rest of his pack are settling now to our guest house. How did you know there would be an attack?" Beta Jaxson."I'm just being careful. Until now we still don't know where that demon took Adellee and I don't want anything unexpected attack in our pack. It's good to be prepared."I didn’t tell Jaxson what I dreamed last night. It seems to be giving me a signal that there will be bad events that will occurs in the pack. Yesterday, I spoke to one of the oldest elders in our pack to ask help regarding vampires and how to deal with them. Luckily, she had known a witch from far away pack, she asked for help and today came the ones we need to destroy the vampires.'Alpha! Intruder in the north border. ' Connor said in the pack link.'Tell me the status?''We spot a group of Vampires in the border, as of now the bord
