As soon as I hit the treeline at the water fall I ran faster than I have ever ran before. I lunged and jumped over the lake right through the waterfall into the cave. So many memories lie with in these walls. Memories I don't need to look back on right now. I look at my son who is scared for his life.
I kiss his head and cup my hands on his face.
"Rhys listen to me.... I need you to stay very still and very quite. Can you do that for momma. Please!" I said with concern in my voice.
"Y..yess I can." Said Rhys with a shaky voice.
"Good. Now rub yourself in the rocks to hide your scent ok. After that do not make a sound." I said
I stepped back a little to give myself room to jump through the waterfall and shift into my wolf. I sprinted off through the water shifting into my light grey wolf. I paced the open field waiting for the wolf to attack. How it paced around my house let's me now this wolf rather play stealth than fight with pride. Which is fine with me because it is in my land now.
I lie in the grass portraying a sign of weakness. Letting it know I have 'put my guard down.' After lying there for only a few minutes a russel in the treeline hits my ears. Without moving I carefully listen to the sound of its paws inching closer to me.
With the tall grass around it also decided to stalk me.
I heard Damien close by and I could tell it could too. It tried to retreat, but no one is leaving without me getting any answers. I jump from the grass and sprint towards the wolf. It immediately started running toward the woodline, but no one gets away from me. I lunge at it gnashing my teeth into its skin throwing it behind me towards the lake. Before it could get up I snapped at its throat holding it down. It clawed at my stomach and legs, but the adrenaline was eating me on the inside. I felt nothing, but the pure rage this wolf had given me.
Damien finally arrived with the guards. Damien got Rhys from the cave and the guards held down the wolf.
I went to my hiding spot and grabbed a shirt to throw over my naked body. Walking from my spot I could see them all trying to get the wolf to kneel and shift back into human form, but it refused. Rhys jumped from Damien's arms and ran straight for mine.
"Mom you're okay!!" Said Rhys with pure joy.
"Always my dear son. Momma would never leave you!" I said while hugging him tightly.
Damien walked over to me.
"Can't get a word out of it yet?" I asked
"No it just keeps snarling at me and the others. It won't listen. I know you want answers, but we can't let it stay for long we have to kill it." Said Damien
"Yes Damien I'm fully aware. Let me try. Hold Rhys and don't let him watch... please."
"Ok and I won't."
I walk over to the wolf. Pure rage enveloped me. I let out a low demanding growl. The wolves eyes made contact with mine. I let out another demanding growl telling it to shift back into his human form.
He stopped resisting against the guards and shifted into his human form. A olive skin man, around my age, with dark black hair and peirceing golden brown eyes was now before me. Not gonna lie He was pleasant to the eyes, but he wasn't the guy who has my heart.
"Someone give him some pants and then take him to the dungeons at the pack grounds!" I said
The guards looked at me and then turned their heads to Damien. He then nodded his head confirming they do as I said. Damien walked to me and handed off Rhys to me. My son. What would I do with him.
"Thank you for the help. I don't know what I would have done if you weren't close by." I said
"Well you did fight him by yourself. All we did was capture him for you and bond him in silver chains. You did all the work. Rondni would be proud to see you as the protective and loving mother you are." Said Damien
"Yes dad would be momma. He would be very proud!" Squealed Rhys
In that moment my eyes began to tear and a stream of hot tears ran down my face. I embrace my son and Damien falls in behind. I look out into the woodline as I embrace this moment and see a wolf watching us from a far.
Looking into its eyes I felt at ease. I felt lost in is presences, but the only thing off about it was that I couldn't trace a heart beat nor a scent to it. The wolf gave me a familiar feeling. A feeling I haven't felt in a long time. It then proceeds to nod its head at me and walks away into the forest. My heart felt full. My heart was over flowing.
We all walked back to the pack house. Rhys fell asleep in my arms half way back. There was silence in the night until I spoke.
"Damien I know this will happen again. I have a bad feeling in my gut. Its not going to end well i know it."
"You and Rhys can move back into the pack house. So then you and him will be fully guarded at all times. It's the best option Valen."
"I know. I'm just scared. I know whoever killed my husband ,your brother, is now after my son. It has to be the fact that he is a true Alpha. Which also means whoever it is will also come after you too Damien. I don't want you to put all your focus on me and Rhys and you end up 6 feet under as well.... I love you like my own blood brother Rhys. I wouldn't know what to do if I also lost you. Or how your mate would react to the fact her only world just crumbled in her hands. Unlike me she won't have anything to hold on to, to remind her of you other than the memories you hold together." I said with tears in my eyes.
"Valen.... I rather try my hardest to protect us all than just sit back and be scared for my own skin. If they don't come for me then I don't think I could live with the fact that I didn't put everything I had into protecting the both of you. It would eat me alive. All the guilt and burden of thinking Rondni would be pissed at me if I didn't at least try. So let me worry for you and your son and I promise I will keep a lookout for myself as well."
I cried with every tear that would form from my eyes. We made it to the pack house. I walked past plenty of members of the pack watching as me and Damien walked from the woodline. I left the pack house a while back, but I was now returning for the safety of my child.
I held my head high as if I was still the Luna of this land tightly holding Rhys to me in case of any uncertainty erupted. Suddenly every member there began to kneel and so did Damien.
"Damien what are you doing?" I asked in a frantic tone
"We are pledging to you that we will protect you and your son from any harm that comes towards you! We will not let anything or anyone hurt you! You were our luna at a point and you still hold our hearts as our luna. We serve you still the same no matter what the leaders say. We are the moon pack and we stand for our own no matter the cost or consequences!"
I placed my hand on Damien's head. I frizzly his hair.
"Thank you all. You don't know how much this means to me. I will give back what you give me. You serve me and I will serve you! Let us make this known we are not cowards, but a fierce pack of wolves who defend their own No matter what!" I yelled
My home as I knew it. The family I cared for for such a little time. They were always there. I will always be there for them. That's how Rondni would have wanted it.
Who ever wants my son will have to kill an arm of blood thirsty wolves to get to him. I will kill everything that lays even thier line of sight on him. Mark my words I my be afraid, but I have never lost a fight to the death and I don't plan on doing so anytime soon.
