QUEENETH’S POV.
Morning came too fast and I woke up very early and got up immediately. I was very excited. Tomorrow is my birthday. Not just that it's my birthday, I’ll be meeting my wolf tomorrow because I’ll be eighteen. The elders of the pack always tell us that to shift is very painful but I don't mind since it won't take much time.
I just wish my parents were here to see me shift for the first time. It had been eight years since they died and it has not been easy.
They were killed by a rival pack attack.
Rival Pack/Packs are enemies of a pack. Every pack has rivals and they do everything possible to protect themselves from their rivals. Mostly, the contest amongst rivals is for them to dominate and take over the other pack. They normally launch ambushes against one another, just to take the other pack down. It was in one of these rival attacks that my parents were killed. I was just a little but could distinguish between good and bad.
On the night of the attack, they tried to kill our Alpha's son. He was just eighteen but his father protected him and they ended up killing our Alpha and leaving his son. There was no pre-information that such an attack was coming. Even the spies in that pack did not bring any information that something like that was coming. It took the pack unawares and resulted in a huge loss that shook the pack. Most of the warriors were also killed. It was this particular attack that taught me as little as I was to live ready because you don't know when your enemy would strike and I started growing with that mindset.
My father was Alpha Robbins’ Beta(The late Alpha's Beta). He and my mother died protecting Alpha, Luna and their son. That was their job.
After their deaths, there was nobody to take care of me but the Alpha and my friend, Reuben and his family were very good to me. They took care of me. Reuben and his family took good care of me and took care of my responsibilities.
Because of the incident that made the current Alpha, Alpha, he made a law that not only will warriors be trained but everybody. Every wolf must go through high school. Once bitten, twice shy. He wouldn't want what happened to his father to happen to him. That is why he chose to live ready and one of the ways he wanted to achieve that is by making every single wolf in the pack a warrior to defend his pack.
In high school, a lot is being taught and experimented. They teach werewolf and pack history, pack laws and everything needed to help the pack function properly.
As soon as he started this, the pack took another shape and it made every single wolf to be on alert
For example, if a wolf is interested in agriculture, he or she will learn about plants and our crops to help sustain our food supplies. It's like a human school where you choose a course to study. I chose pack laws so I learnt all about pack laws and everything else needed to successfully run the pack.
The passion for pack law came after our pack was attacked and my parents killed. I swore to defend the pack even though I don't belong to the Alpha's lineage, if there was laxity before, our rival may lay an ambush and attack the pack and I may be taken out so to avoid that I decided to defend the pack.
We train everyday but tomorrow I have a day off because it's my birthday and my first shift. I’ll be eighteen and it's a very special occasion. It's very much important because I’ll get to meet my wolf and mate.
Mates are very important in the world of werewolves. Just the same way in the world of humans, they don't joke with marriage which consists of a man and a woman, that's the same way it is in the werewolf kingdom. They don't joke with their mates.
Our Alpha has not yet found his mate which he has been waiting for a long time looking unto the Moon Goddess to find her. Her mother continues occupying the position of a Luna until Alpha Collins finds him. This is how serious we were waiting for our Alpha to have a mate.
Because it was my first shift and it's a special occasion, you choose people you want to be around during your shift and you don't inform the others. I already pre-informed Reuben and his family that they would be with me as I shift. It's just Reuben, his parents and his younger sister. After I told them, they were so excited for me especially, Reuben.
I couldn't wait for me to shift and maybe I may be lucky more than any other, including Reuben who has shifted but has not found his mate, to find my mate. I checked the time and I have a few hours for the day to break and I can't wait. I also found out I was late and needed to leave for training immediately.
I quickly freshened up. Since I was taking an off tomorrow, it won't be nice for me to go to training late today. I quickly searched for my black tights, my training bra, hoodie and sneakers and quickly wore them. As I was putting on my black sneakers, which was my favorite, I found out that the sole was almost off. I thought it's something I could manage but just as I was putting my feet on the ground, it went off totally. I felt so bad because it was my favourite and searching for another might make me go late. I searched for the brown, quickly wore it, packed my hair into a ponytail and left for the training.
QUEENETH’S POVI found Success where I least expected her.The old training grounds had been abandoned since the eastern attack. Grass had grown between the cracked stones, and the wooden posts stood crooked beneath the trees.She was sitting on one of them.Waiting.I stopped several feet away.She didn’t look surprised.“You took your time.”My fingers curled.“You knew I was coming?”Success smiled.“I knew you’d come eventually.”There was no weapon in her hands. No guards nearby. No sign she intended to run.“Why are you here?”“Waiting for you.”“Then you know what I want.”Her smile faded.“Who was your master?”For a moment, she looked amused.Then she laughed.“You still think there was only one?”I stared at her.Success slid from the post and stood.“That’s your problem, Queeneth. You’re looking for one person behind all of this. One mastermind pulling every string.”She shook her head.“There wasn’t one.”“Then who gave you your orders?”“Different people.”My stomach tigh
QUEENETH’S POVI remembered the letter.It had been sitting in the back of my mind for years, tucked beneath everything else I had been too afraid to understand.Hilda’s letter.I remembered this letter. I had seen it once before, back when everything between Hilda and Collins had still been buried beneath secrets I didn’t understand.I had read enough to know it concerned Collins.Not enough to understand why.At the time, there had been too many things happening around us. Too many lies. Too many people hiding pieces of the truth.Now, every time I thought about it, one question kept returning.Why had Hilda written it?I found her old belongings in a locked storage room beneath the eastern wing.The room hadn’t been opened in years.Dust covered everything.Broken furniture.Old clothes.Boxes filled with documents that no one had bothered to sort.I searched until my fingers were gray.Then I found the box.My heart started beating faster before I even opened it.The same worn woo
QUEENETH’S POVI found Collins near the eastern wall just before sunset.He was alone.That was becoming unusual these days.There was always someone looking for him. A pack member needing an answer. An elder wanting to discuss the next patrol. A warrior waiting for orders.But tonight, he stood at the edge of the trees with his hands resting against the stone wall, staring into the forest.He didn’t hear me approach.Or maybe he did and simply didn’t turn around.“Collins.”His shoulders moved slightly.Then he looked over.For a moment, neither of us spoke.There had been a time when silence between us felt comfortable.Now it carried too many things we hadn’t said.I stopped a few steps away.“I need to ask you something.”His expression changed.“About the curse?”I nodded.He looked back toward the trees.“I wondered when you’d ask again.”“Then you knew I would.”“I hoped you wouldn’t have to.”I folded my arms.“I’m done accepting half-truths.”That made him look at me.Somethi
QUEENETH’S POVI couldn’t sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Aurelia.Her wrists in chains.Her blood in the silver pool.The crown she never wanted.The people who had taken her story and twisted it until generations of wolves believed she had been chosen by the Moon to rule them.But there was something else I couldn’t stop thinking about.The bonds.Reuben.Collins.Dante.Three names.Three different bonds.Three different moments when my wolf had reacted as if something ancient had recognized them before I ever had the chance to decide for myself.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my hands.“How many times?”Amy stirred inside me.“What?”“How many times did they do this?”She didn’t answer.My stomach tightened.“Don’t.”“Queeneth…”“No. You don’t get to do that anymore.”I stood.“You told me about Aurelia. You told me about the bloodline. You told me people had been writing my destiny before I was even born.”My voice cracked.“And now I’m supposed to believe the
QUEENETH’S POVThe old archive smelled like ash.Not the fresh kind that still clung to clothes after a fire, but the stale scent left behind when something had burned so completely that even the walls seemed to remember it.I stood in the doorway, staring at the shelves.Most of the records were gone.The ones that remained had been damaged by time, water, or deliberate hands. Pages had been torn from books. Names had been scratched out. Whole sections of history had been reduced to loose pieces that no longer belonged to anything.And now I knew it had not happened by accident.Someone had been trying to make sure I never found the truth.I stepped inside.My fingers brushed over the spine of an old law book.Aurelia.The name still sat inside my head.Amy had said it like a warning.She was my Queen.Then she had told me the truth about my wolf.An ancient memory sealed inside me.A bloodline someone had tried to erase.The people who wrote my destiny.I pulled the book from the sh
CHAPTER 94QUEENETH’S POVAmy’s First LieI don’t speak to Amy for the rest of the afternoon.Not because I don’t have questions.I have too many.They crowd my head until I can’t focus on anything else.Aurelia was my Queen.The words keep circling.Every time I think I’ve finally understood something, another piece falls out from underneath it.I sit alone beneath the old oak tree behind the pack house, knees pulled against my chest.The painting is still in my mind.That crown.That woman.The way Amy reacted when I said her name.I close my eyes.“Amy.”Nothing.I wait.Still nothing.My jaw tightens.“You don’t get to hide from me now.”A breeze moves through the leaves.I almost laugh.“You’re really going to ignore me?”Silence.I press my palms against my eyes.“I trusted you.”That does it.Something shifts inside me.Not a voice at first.A feeling.Guilt.It rolls through my chest so suddenly that I sit straighter.Then I hear her.Very quietly.“I know.”My throat tightens
QUEENETH'S POV.I decided to stop at Reuben’s place before heading to the training ground. I was so surprised when I saw Success standing in the living room as I walked in.Success is Reuben's classmate and friend. They are of the same age. She is also Alpha Collins' friend. Reuben and Alpha Collin
QUEENETH'S POV.After some minutes, I was standing on all fours, my fur was so white that it glittered under the moonlight.My friends turned to each other screaming.“She's different, just white,” Aisha said.I was very anxious to know why they’re surprised. I looked at my wolf and asked her.“Why
QUEENETH’S POV.“Good morning Queeneth.”I was surprised to hear my name because the last time I checked I slept alone in my house. I had no companion, so I stood to check if anybody was at the door.“Don't bother stressing yourself. It's me your wolf.”I flinched. Of course, it's my birthday. I go
QUEENETH'S POV.The door opened and the person at the door was not seen.“My pretty, please check who's at the door.”I nodded and went to check.It was Alpha Collins.“Is Reuben still at home?” he asked“Yes, he is.”I wanted to go to the training with Reuben, but as he was already dressed and Alp
