I ran throughout the forest, not thinking about what was to come next, only worried about the safety of my werewolf city. I ran ahead of everyone else, with Silver and Black only a few steps behind me. At this point I could have cared less about who's life I was about to end, I only wanted to protect my home, my new family.
This was all until I could smell the scents of my old pack. As expected I could smell the large group of werewolf warriors. This did not weaken my confidence, for the only memory that I'd had about the warriors of my old pack was the fact that they were to self absorbed to be an actual threat to anyone. I could also smell Alpha Ethan and the twins, Jack and Dylan, as anticipated. But it wasn't until I smelt the scents of two specific individuals, did I stop straight in my tracks.
What an unfortunate mistake.
" Mom, Dad?" I thought to myself, confusedly. However, I didn't do a good job at hiding these thoughts, as the warriors that stood as my allies growled furiously.
I'd accidently voice my thoughts hrough the mind-link.
They'd stopped as soon as I did. And thanks to this our enemy pack was gaining on us. And not only could I smell the scents of my previous pack mates, but I could see them all. Some appeared from behind bushes and trees, while others appeared out of nowhere, proceeding on us, and eventually, corning all of my warriors into a large bundle.
I growled, cursing to myself. This was all my fault. But the fact that my old pack had the upper hand, didn't deflate any of my motives. They were not going to win today.
I stopped thinking about the odds of them winning and us losing, or any possible outcome. I just did. Growling venomously, I pounced on my enemies, ready to fight.
I landed on a very dismantled Jack Cunning. It served him right, considering all of the ish that he'd put me through.
After my first move of attack, my warriors followed as suit.
It didn't take me long to defeat Alpha Ethan's son, my wolf went for his throat. And it wasn't until I'd been tugging on it for a while did I realize that this pack had not shifted.
Did they plan on fighting us in their human forms?
" Stop!" I roared through the mind-link, and all of my warriors came to a halt.
As I let go of Jack's throat, I looked around and sighed in relief as I noticed that no one had been killed from either side yet. However, when I turned back around, I saw a very fearful looking Dylan helping remove an unconscious Jack of the ground. Behind him stood, a smirking Alpha Ethan.
He'd planned this all. He knew that our first extinct would be to attack, assuming that they'd came for battle. He waited for us to make the first move. And now we were in the wrong.
None of this made me nearly as upset as I was, when, I noticed who he had squirming in his firm grip.
" Let go of me!!" She screamed.
And at the sound of her voice, I felt my body go numb. What did he think he was doing with my mom.
" Shut up, or you won't live to see my kill your husband." Alpha Ethan exclaimed to my mom.
I turned and noticed my very frightened father on the ground, right beside him.
The moon goddess, let out a growl, threatening to take control. Although, it was evident that my parents had betrayed me, I would not allow the coward that I stood behind for so many years take their lives.
Alpha Ethan only laughed at my growl, infuriating me even more. " Is someone getting a little angry?" He asked sarcastically, but he then held his hands up in surrender," Hey, but I have a proposal for you." He paused, " I won't kill either of you parents, as long as you return to your rightful home. You belong with us, as my head werewolf warrior."
I shook my head and let out an animalistic," No."
I then mind-linked the rest of my warriors, informing them that it was ok to continue to fight. And with that the battle continued.
I stood still as our enemies shifted, as wolfs flew in the air from a kick or for a shift, as numerous growls filled my favorite forest.
We were not in the wrong. They'd entered our territory, and we were going to fight them, whether they shifted or not.
I glared at a dismantled and unshifted Alpha Ethan, my parents stayed in the same position, frighten and close to unconsciousness just as Jack was. I stocked towards their Alpha fed up with him and his bull....
I then lunged for him, and I don't know how I did it with my large snout, but it happened, I managed to twist or snap one of his legs, careful not to touch my mother. And after Alpha Ethan was on his knees, I carefully grabbed my mother and father, separately with my mouth. I threw both of them on back, circumspectly, as I looked around for any wolves heading my way. But I only saw my warriors giving our enemies a needed butt whooping.
" Retreat!" my voice boomed throughout the minds of every single one of my warriors.
I knew that we weren't close to losing against them; their angelic like warriors were no match to my fierce ones. But I also knew that I needed to get my parents to safety. And I wasn't about to leave my family fighting this battle without me. So we left, living my old pack sprawled on the ground, some dead, others wounded.
Even though we'd left Ethan's pack weak on the ground, I knew that this wasn't good bye. He'd come back ready to fight. He'd come back prepared.
***
I walked to Black's office, with bags under my eyes, and my hair in a preposterous manner.
Two days had passed since I'd first seen my parents. And ever since the battle, I'd been sleeping in the city's hospital with them. They'd been unconscious since the day of the fight.
And if that wasn't enough stress. All that the moon goddess had been yelling in my ear was "Silver".
She wanted to be comforted, all of the stress that had fallen upon me for the past few days, had fallen on her too. She knew that the presence of our mate would make our shoulders less tense, he would help us relax.
But how could that be true when my mate was to busy comforting the girl he loved. It didn't help that she wasn't a warrior, unlike Peach. Since Sliver's girl couldn't fend for herself, he was always watching over her, always cuddling with her.
So I dreaded going into Black's office, of course Peach, and the rest of the gang would be in there, but Silver's girlfriend would be in there. The girl he chose over me.
As I pushed the door open, the moon goddess growled in pleasure at the scent of my mate. I hadn't seen him sense the day of the fight, and then he was in his wolf form.
The room fell silent and I cleared my throat, " So let's get this over with." I said not looking at anyone except for the chair that Black placed beside his. Making my way over to it, I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I swirled around to see who it was. Everyone knew that I'd been under a lot of pressure for the past 48 hours, so they'd been avoiding me. Who could this be?
" Hey. I'm Mackenzie. You must be Isabelle" She said her voice soft and innocent, causing me to cringe. So this was the girl.
I couldn't stop the menacing glare that I gave her. No one called me that name anymore. It was just Isa, ever since I was a child, ever since I could remember.
" Hi." I croaked out, with all of my might, the moon goddess was going off in my head, ready to snap her neck. I looked into her eyes, passed her innocence. And I read her. She was uncomfortable, it was obvious that she knew that I was Silver's mate.
"Then why is she still with him." The moon goddess roared through my head.
I turned around heading back to my seat. This girl was innocent and sweet, she was no tramp, but their had to be a reason why she was with my mate and not her own.
The moon goddess however, was practically begging me for control. She was pissed. No wonder why Alpha Ethan wanted me to be one of his warriors. I wondered if he knew about the moon goddess, or mistaken me to have a simple bad temper. Either way, he didn't want me on his side anymore. He was furious.
I'd probably paralyzed him or something like that. There was no doubt that he was going to come back with a stronger army and with better motives. But when?
