The Prophecy Of The Wolves I - The Beginning

~ Prologue ~

It was a bright, sunny afternoon when they went outside to let their daughter run around and play. Her parents were standing on the back porch while she ran around with a couple of her toys. They had to watch her closely because if they took their eyes off her, she would wander off into the forest. That was the last thing they wanted with the rogue wolf problem they had been having lately. Little Liliana, only five years old, didn't know the extent of the rogue problems. She was old enough to know bad wolves were out there, but she was still too young to know exactly how horrible the situation was.

"What are we going to do, Jake?" Isabella asked her beloved as she kept her eyes on Liliana. "The rogues are getting closer, and we're not prepared," she said with terror for their daughter, turning her voice rough and hoarse. "We have nowhere for Lily to hide if things take a turn for the worst," her voice trembled as she tried to stay quiet so their daughter wouldn't hear their conversation.

Jake sighed as he pulled her into his side and pressed a kiss to her temple. "Ryan and I will figure something out. We always do. We just need a bit more time," he said as he turned his attention to Liliana.

"What happens to Lily, though?" Isabella demanded as she looked up at him. "If something were to happen to you and me, who would take care of her?" She questioned with a creased forehead. "We have no other family who would want her," Isabella woefully mumbled as she looked at Liliana again.

Jake soothingly rubbed her arm. "Ryan and Evelyn would take care of her for us," he said in a calming voice. "They know that we would do the same if they were to have any children of their own," he let out a small breath as he kissed her forehead.

"You're right," Isabella agreed as she turned her attention back to Liliana. "I just don't want anything to happen to her," Isabella whispered as she kept her eyes glued to Liliana. "She is such a free spirit."

Jake moved to stand behind her as he wrapped his arms around Isabella's waist. He rested his chin on her shoulder as he softly said. "She'll be fine, my love. Don't worry so much."

They went quiet, watching Liliana play with a small fox that had wandered into their yard. They both were enthralled watching her when they felt a mental push from their alpha. They cleared their minds and let him in. 'Everyone needs to meet at the pack house as soon as possible. This meeting is mandatory. Everyone must attend.'

Jake shook his head as he stood up straight. "Something must've happened. He didn't sound happy," he muttered.

Isabella nodded in agreement as she turned to look at him. "Let's get Liliana and head over there then," she rolled her eyes. "You know Ryan doesn't like to wait."

Isabella turned to yell for Liliana as Jake chuckled from her side. She frowned when she found their yard empty. "Liliana!" She shouted. "Where'd you go, sweetheart?!"

Jake groaned as he rushed off the porch. "She chased that baby fox into the forest," he mumbled as they both headed into the forest.

Liliana giggled as she chased the baby fox around the yard. She pouted when the fox headed into the forest. She chased after it until she got to the treeline. She hesitated for just a minute before following the fox into the woods. "Come back, baby fox. I just want to play," she said breathlessly.

Liliana continued to follow the fox until she was deep in the forest. She frowned when the fox disappeared into a small burrow. She pouted as she stood up and looked around. Her pout disappeared as quickly as it had appeared as she stared in awe. She realized she was in a part of the forest she had never been in before because it was too far from the safety of her home. She moved in a small circle and took everything in with a bright smile.
