* Nelika *Jason flew hard from my father's hit, and the wolves from the prison are now whining. Warriors came and the fight started between them, I took a step back and meet my father's eyes."Stay where you are Nelika and don't interfere with the fight. You are hurt I will not forgive Jason for this!"His eyes are red and they are blazing with fire. My father came just in time, but too late to stop the rogues from the prison as some of them run and the rest are fighting with the warriors."Alpha Xander are you alright?"My father look at Alpha Xander who managed to stand the moment that he came. Jason is now passed out on the ground."I am fine Alpha Zero, thank you for saving my life."He bows his head toward my father and my father's lips twisted in a dry smile. "This is the first, and I still owe you one. Remember that you have saved my daughter's life twice."His voice wasn't loud enough for everybody to hear but that registered clearly inside my head. Alpha Xander has saved me

* Nelika *It's been a week after the incident in our pack is resolved and things go back to normal. The other warriors are back to training and I am feeling a bit excited to get a higher rank on the next test. My father has announced that I could join the other wolves in the competition to be chosen."Nelika, sweetie how was your sleep last night?"My mother asked the same question in the morning every day as soon as I walk down the stairs. Damn, the three of them are already up. "Good morning Mom, and Dad! Good morning Zed!"My baby brother wiggles his tiny knuckles at me when he recognizes my face and my voice."Morning Nelika! Excited about the training?"I nodded and took a sit beside my mother at the dining table as Laura served me a fresh plate of omelets and French toast."Thank you, Laura."The old woman smiled at me before she answered."Eat up sweetie, I heard you are doing it well with the warriors and you will participate in the competition to get the higher rank."My li

* Nelika *I stood my ground gathering all my strength to show the wolves that I am the daughter of my father, the Alpha of this pack and they cannot scare me just by blocking our way. But the big wolves of the higher ranks seems to have their orders clear. When my feet moves forward they acted promptly. One of them stayed in front of me while the other is watching over Regie."That is as far as you can move Nelika, I apologize in advance but we have strict instructions to follow. It won't matter if you are the daughter of our Alpha."His menacing eyes held my gaze as I think of a better way to escape this. Regie is waiting for my decision as we both have to face this two big wolves."Listen here pal, I am going to pass this test and if I did, you will have to face me later on. I know you have orders from my father but he will never allow me to get hurt. I am his daughter it's either you face his wrath when you hurt me or you let us go, there are other young wolves that you need to wa

*Alpha Xander *The young wolf that accompanies Nelika has been eliminated from the trial. He got caught in one of the traps being set up by the higher rank warriors of the cold mountain pack. It was anticipated as he seems to be weaker and just earned the sympathy of Alpha Zero's daughter which is why he went this far. Now I am trying to track down her scent, for I can smell her in the grasses that lead into a narrow hidden path leading to a part of the cold mountain pack lands. I sniff the ground and recognized her scent, the alluring scent of a female wolf. She is not aware that her scent is very distinctive and that any male wolf would easily recognize her.It's a narrow path and has taken most of my time trying to fit my big wolf body in between the tall and thick grasses of the land. The area has been hidden by the green tall grass but my sight has noticed everything she touches which leaves a scent that she owns. The path lead me into a beautifully trimmed garden with lots of

* Nelika *"I'm so sorry sweetie, I don't have any other things to bargain with Alpha Xander when he was threatening the destroy my whole place. You know he is capable of everything he says, your father has given him enough power to do what he does."I gritted my teeth while I lie in my bed and remember the words that my Aunt have told me. It is confirmed that she has given him the antidote, she doesn't even sound sorry even if she apologizes. I bit my lips, what if Alpha Xander remembers everything tonight? And tomorrow is the official acceptance for the ten lucky members of the high-rank warriors.What am I supposed to do if he walks towards me and accused me of using him!?More than that, my father will be more than angry about it. He who threats Alpha Xander like his own son! He respects him and has high praise for him all the time. What will I do if the Alpha of the West put me in great shame for what I have done?"Nelika, don't think so much about it sweetie. You have to be brav
