"Midnight Howling" (COMPLETED)

Chapter 15. The Guardians

Type's POV;

Everything happened so fast, I lost a brother. After the burial, I lock myself inside the room that Tharn provided. We stay in the pack for the reason that we are not safe anymore.

I've been blaming myself for what happened, Dylan died because of my stupidity, I didn't take extra precautions while investigating, if I just am more cautious, my brother might still be alive now.

Techno has been patient in bringing me food and tonic in my room, he's been always understanding of what I feel. And about Tharn, I feel that he doesn't know how to approach me. I understand that.

I sneak out every night to have a run, since the whole transformation, my wolf has been there talking to me always. He said his name is Raven, what a coincidence, in the army they called me Raven wolf also.

Even though he said that it's not my fault, I still feel his sadness through his word.

Dylan is my brother, I found him together with Sarawat in the street, they are fighting the bullies, so I joined to help them. As a child, my father trained me so hard in one-on-one combat, so it's easy for me to knock out the bullies.

Although my father scolded me every time I help a street kid, he can't do anything about my stubbornness, and just gave up.

I make a deal with him that we will take in Dylan and Sarawat to join the training, in exchange that I will strive more to be a General in the future.

But I lost Dylan and that's because of me. As tears started to Drown me again, I take a deep breath and look outside my window.

Waiting for the time, for the surroundings of the pack to be quiet, and for the late hours. I stand up from my bed, and slowly open the door in my room. I don't want anyone to know that I'm going out at night.

Walking fast to the forest, I sniff around to make sure that no other wolves or scouts roaming around the area. I take off my clothes and transform into my wolf.

"Aaahh, fresh air," Raven told me shaking his body to feel the cool wind.

Running faster as if I was chased, I let my feet feel the numbness this way I can ease myself from the sadness that I felt. Until I reach the waterfall, my favorite spot of the mountain.

"Our favorite spot buds! " Raven chirp in.

I just hum for an answer, looking at my reflection in the water, I didn't expect that I have this mesmerizing creature inside me, snow-white fur, deep crystal blue eyes, and a set of beautiful fangs, I feel proud.

"Someone is here Type," Raven told me, as he heightened his smell, for a possible intruder.

Behind the trees, someone is standing we can feel it. But we don't smell danger. I decided to transform into a human and cover myself with clothes I found near me.

"Come out! " I commanded whoever is hiding in there.

Two-person appear before me, wearing a long cloak that covers their head, in their back is a bow and arrow, in their hands a flower, a statice flower I guess.

They bow at me and kneel.

"Wait! These are the two-person who called me chosen one on the night of Dylan's death. " I told Raven.

"Speak! " they stand up and remove the fabric that covers their head. A boy and a girl.

"Hello chosen one! We are glad to meet you again!" The girl said to me. I look at her reading her expression. They mean no harm, I don't feel any danger from them.

"Who are you, and what do you want from me? " I may sound disrespectful but I can't just be nice to anyone I just met, especially at night and in a secluded area of this mountain.

"My name is Areyah and this is Pharm, we are called guardians! We are sent by the moon goddess to protect you chosen one" the girl is smiling, but the boy wears a poker face.

"Can you stop calling me chosen one? I smell wolves from you but there is something else, what are you? " I look at the boy, I must hear his voice to read his thoughts.

"We are half wolves half enchantress chosen one, we are here to help you get ready for the upcoming battle between darkness and Wolves in the time of the red moon. " the boy named Pharm answered.

"Oh, God! Stop the chosen one thingy" I look at them confused,

"You have an important task waiting for you. Your keen is known to be a pure white wolf that engraved in the book of life as chosen. You came from a lineage of wolves that has special abilities and is blessed by the moon goddess. " Areyah explained.

"Battle between darkness and wolves? Red moon?" I sarcastically let out a laugh. "Look at me, do you think I can be the chosen, I don't have any ability aside from healing quickly, I think you get a wrong wolf here! " it's almost a whisper when I saw their eyes shining in silver lights.

"What the actual fuck! " I'm about to go when suddenly they are in front of me.

Pharm grab my arms and twist it behind my back, I growl at him, and ready to fight back I can't find my strength, he kicks my legs for me to fall on my knees. Areyah is in front of me.

She holds my head and presses her thumb on my forehead. Sudden memories pop up in my head.

A woman carrying her child, to hide inside the underground room.

"Stay here Nat, don't go out until I said so, don't peek outside, whatever happened, whatever you hear, don't go out, do you understand! " the boy nods at her.

She kiss his temple and removed her necklace and put it on the boy's neck.

"Don't lose this necklace, it's your final blow when the time comes! Always remember, we will always be beside you, we love you! " the woman cried, her eyes are glowing in a shade of green, she then go out leaving him alone.

He heard a scream, a painful scream in the middle of the night, explosion and sounds of guns is ringing in his ears, he crawl up slowly to peek, but to his horror, he saw her mother lying breathless with blood dripping on his mouth and neck, her eyes looking at his direction.

He crawled back inside, hiding while holding a necklace on his neck, he look at the necklace with tears in his eyes, a dagger a beautiful dagger with his name on it, Nattarine.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Guardian Areyah removed his thumb, Pharm do the same, they let me fall, lying on the ground, as I cried.

Those memories have been long gone on the deepest part of my brain, I don't remember anything of my childhood.

"We will talk again chosen one! " Pharm told me as they bow and about to leave.

"Wait!...you are going to protect me right? " they glance at each other and smiled at me.

"We are at your service Alpha! " they kneel in front of me and leave the statice flower then disappeared into the thick forest.

I look up, the sun will rise anytime soon. So I fix myself and make my way to go back to the pack. I need to talk to my mate.
