PART I.

“Tell us that story again, Grandma Cat!” Thirteen-year-old Lily shouted excited as she sat down on the floor and looked up with wide eyes at Catherine Langston, who is sitting comfortably on her old, stuffed chair with a warm blanket over her lap. “The one about that wolfless girl! Is she still alive?!”

It was around three in the afternoon of a windy Saturday and Catherine will do her usual routine by making a cup of tea for herself and sit by the fireplace for some little peace quiet. But, today, she was warmly troubled by her grandson together with the McAllister twins. Liam, his best friend since childhood and his ever-chatty twin sister, Lily.

“Geez, Lily, do you really believe that nonsense?” Her twin brother, Liam asked as he rolled his eyes at her. He took his place beside his best friend and Catherine’s grandson, Clayton Langston and reached for the bowl of chips. “That’s not real! It’s only a story!”

Lily turned to glare at him before looking back at the older woman.

“But, it’s a great story! Isn’t it, Grandma?” Lily continued with a huge smile. “Will she have any powers when she will meet her mate? Will her wolf appear because of him?”

“Oh, great!” Liam groaned. “She’s saying those icky stuffs again! Girls!”

“Just wait until you add a few more years, Liam,” Catherine said with an amused smile. “You might be in for a surprise. Lily just might be the one saying that to you.”

Liam looked at Grandma Cat and shook his head firmly.

“Not me, Grandma!” He said firmly. “Once I have my wolf, I will never let him fall in love with someone! We’re going to travel around the world like I always dreamed of!”

“Mom will not let you!” Lily pointed out. She then turned to Clayton, who is sitting down quietly. “Tell him, Clayton. Tell him that our mom will not allow him because he’s going to become a warrior like you when you grow up!”

Clayton only shrugged in response.

“Hmph!” Lily grumbled. “Boys!”

She then turned her attention back to Grandma Cat. “Can you say that thing again, grandma?” She asked earnestly. “The one on how she came to be?”

Catherine smiled down at her, amused by her eagerness.

“It goes like this, Lily. You listen carefully,” she answered gently. “A wolf less child from an ancient royal bloodline, will be born under a clear midnight sky & the full moon, on the sixteenth day of the seventh month.”

Lily hanged on intently to the words the older woman is saying, gripping her hands tightly as she repeated what is being said, nodding when Catherine will smile at her accomplishment.

“Hardships she will bring from her existence, until she will come face to face with her destined Mate,” Catherine continued softly. She paused for a while before letting out a wistful smile. “Only then, will change her course of fate!”

“It’s kind of romantic, isn’t it, Grandma?” Lily gushed softly. She had a dreamy expression on her face. “I hope whoever that wolfless girl is, she will get to have the fate that she deserves.”

“Why do you say that, Lily?” Catherine asked softly.

“Don’t we always want something that we deserve in our lives?” Lily responded back with a question as she smiled up at her. “I only wish her well. I’m sure it’s not going to be easy once each of us will go through our transformation. We will get to know our wolf and have to get along with them. We get to have someone with us. But, for that girl? I can’t even begin to imagine how someone can have no wolf!”

“Is there anyone you know who had no wolf, grandma?” She then asked intently.

Catherine stared down at her for a while. She knew that Lily has always been inquisitive. She also knew that she’s going to become one great werewoman when the time comes.

“Yes. I knew a few back in my younger days,” she finally answered.

“What happened to them?” Clayton suddenly asked.

“They either have been banished from their packs or their Alpha and Luna will decide to let them stay and protect them,” Catherine answered softly.

“Do we have one here?” Lily asked.

“Not that I know of, dear,” Catherine replied gently. She took a drink from her cup before putting it back on the saucer gently. “The Night Howlers Pack have so far been negative for any wolfless member. There were some who married non-wolf partners, but they still produced children with their own wolf.”

It was over an hour later when Clayton and Liam are walking around the grounds and discussing about those with no wolves in their being.

“By the way, is Conrad ready for his transformation come this full moon?” Liam asked. “I’ve been seeing him trained hard over these past weeks. Beta Eric is not giving him any room for error as the next Alpha of our pack.”

“I’m sure he is ready,” Clayton replied firmly. “Father always keeps reminding him the duties and responsibilities he will take once he becomes the Alpha.”

Liam looked at him uneasily. He looked around the grounds before staring back at his friend and opening his mouth to speak.

“Is he going to follow them, Clayton? The duties and responsibilities?” He asked in a low voice. “I overheard my father talked with Alpha Theo that Conrad is the wrong choice to succeed him. He said that it’s going to be better if it will be you. He said that Conrad is arrogant and will be merciless when he becomes the Alpha.”

“He had never shown any compassion during the tragedy our pack has went through three years ago,” Liam added calmly. “You knew where he was. He never gave it much thought because it does not involved his well-being.”

Clayton shook his head.

“My brother will adhere to the duties and responsibilities once he becomes Alpha. It is instilled in the family for generations,” he insisted seriously. “That’s going to make him the Alpha he is destined to be.”
