CHAPTER 5

"Well...I suppose I should start at the beginning. My name is Conner and I was orphaned at the age of two. I don't know what happened, no one ever told me, I just know I was with my parents at the time. I now believe that it was something to do with the fact that am a sightless wolf. Which, after what I heard today would make more sense? Anyway, my adoptive Mum came and got me when I was about five when she noticed I was a disabled wolf. Luckily it was before my first change because I was in a human orphanage, the change happened three weeks later, that's when we found out I was blue. Mum had a property on the outskirts of the pack and moved us there, we've been there ever since, near enough but away from the pack house and the old Alpha. We knew if he found out, he would have found a way to take advantage of my future power and I'm sad to say I was glad that he passed away, he was not a nice man and didn't look after the pack or its members and would have run it into the ground given enough time. Today is my eighteenth birthday and this morning I received my powers, my wolf Elzar told me we are more powerful than we knew was possible, for we have been given power over all of the elements. He said to only tell Mum but she said to tell you Michael in case there was any chance someone found out or trouble came looking. So here we are."
"What did you mean about your parents? Do you think that your parents were murdered?"
I was still sitting on Michael's lap (luckily am so small at only 5"3) as he asked me that question. The full body tingles were great to feel but a little off putting when I tried to reply and not wriggle.
"Well, think about that legend you told me and Mum about. If the person who is going to start this war knew that a rare wolf with no sight could stop the war..."
"They would try and take out any and all rare wolves with sight loss."
He held me tighter after following my train of thought.
"If they do know the legend, then all they would need to do is find a rare wolf and follow them here. You have now become the beacon."
We all must have become as worried as me at that thought because the room got very quiet.
"Michael, I'm going to get in touch with my instructor, the one that specializes in rare wolves and their powers. If that's ok with you Conner, it's just that if this war is coming you are going to have to train, I could only help you with fire, and I will have to call soon before other rare wolves start to show up, they will need to train as well."
I turned towards the direction of Andrew's voice.
"You are right Andrew and someone to teach me and the others that show up would be a big help. Thanks."
"Well, I think that it is still someone's birthday and with your permission, I would like to tell the pack that you're my mate. I think the barbecue is still going on? We could tell them now."
"You really want to tell everyone, some of the pack doesn't like me. What if they don't want a gay Alpha? Or a rare male wolf as the Luna?"
"If there is anyone that has a problem with me or you being gay then they are free to leave. I will even help them find a new pack but there are a lot of gay Alpha's some of them I know personally and my Dad's would be two of them. So don't worry about it, that's my job."
I couldn't help but start giggling, I was so happy. OMG. I giggled, where do I hand in my man card.
I was amazed with all that had happened today, getting my powers, finding my mate, so for now I'm going to be happy, tomorrow I'll start to worry. Ok forget what I just said, now it's time to face the pack, sort of glad I can't see them...
