The Prophecy Of The Wolves I - The Beginning

~ Chapter Four ~

Sebastian was the beta of the Nightshade pack. He stood at precisely six feet and was nothing but muscle. Sebastian had blonde hair and bright blue eyes that were like glaciers. He was a kind and caring man, but he was serious about protecting his family and his pack.

Sebastian was surprised when he found young Liliana in the field of flowers next to their prison. He wasn't expecting to find anyone on their territory during his patrol, but here she was. Sebastian knew she wasn't a threat to him or his family. On the contrary, he could tell she was a sweetheart, so he wanted to avoid putting her in the cells. But, for once, he was a bit confused about what he should do with her.

Sebastian finally decided to take her to his alpha. He didn't want to put her in the cells, but he still wasn't sure what to do with her. So he shifted to his human form and pulled her along to the packhouse. "Um. Could you maybe slow down just a little bit, please?" Liliana asked in a small, rasping voice.

Sebastian frowned as he turned to look at her. "Can't you keep up?" He demanded.

Liliana glared at him as she stuck her tongue out. "No, I can't, you brute. I'm only five feet tall, and you're dragging me through the forest."

Sebastian was shocked by the feistiness that came out of her mouth, but he gave her a single nod and slowed his pace down just a bit. It didn't take them long to get to the packhouse. He walked inside and grabbed one of their other warriors. "Brent, come with me," he ordered.

Brent was one of their usual border guards and patrolmen. He was also a mighty warrior. He quickly followed after Sebastian. "Who's this young one, Sebastian?" Brent asked him as they stopped in front of Cayden's office.

Sebastian sighed. "I don't know. I found her in the field of flowers next to the prison. She's no threat to us, so I thought I'd bring her to Cayden to figure out what to do with her," he sighed. "I need you to stay here and watch her, so she doesn't wander off."

Brent nodded as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. "You got it."

Sebastian walked into Cayden's office without knocking, knowing that Cayden didn't mind it. He stood by the door quietly until Cayden said goodbye to his mother.

Cayden was sitting in his office with his mother, Autumn, going over details for the pack barbeque that they were planning for that upcoming weekend. He glanced up when his beta and closest friend, Sebastian, walked into his office without knocking. He rolled his eyes at him, seeing as he was the only one brave enough to barge into his office simply. "What is it, Seb?" He asked as he gave him his attention.

Sebastian blew out a rough breath. "We have a problem, Cayden."

Cayden scoffed. "There's always some sort of problem, Seb," he said, using his childhood nickname. He turned to Autumn with a small smile. "I'll leave the rest of the decisions to you and Tony."

Autumn nodded in understanding as she stood up. "You two don't work too hard," she pressed a kiss to Cayden's forehead and patted Sebastian on the arm as she left them alone.

Cayden huffed out a sigh. "What seems to be the problem this time, Seb?" He asked as he turned his attention to Sebastian.

Sebastian sighed heavily. "While I was out on patrol, I came across a young woman in that field of flowers close to the prison," he started explaining.

Cayden raised an eyebrow at that. "Alright. Did you put her in the cells?" He questioned.

Sebastian shook his head. "No, sir. She's right outside of your office."
