Ein's Backstory

Forest Fight

Ein POV

I walked into the door to be ushered out by my dad. "Stay outside, I will explain in a bit." said my dad. Then he ran back inside and shut the door. A little annoyed, I did as my dad said and waited outside. After about an hour, my dad came out. He looked pretty sad so I assumed that one of my relatives had died. I didn't care about that so I didn't think too much on it. "Ein...." my dad started. I could tell he was fighting tears. "Your mother is spotted." I was taken aback, I was definitely not expecting this. I looked down trying my hardest to seem like it didn't hit me too hard. "So she's......." I began. "She's inside for now, but she'll have to go to the spotted camp soon." finished my dad. Then without looking back, I ran, ran to the forest, ran to the place where I had last met the red werewolf. I went there and transformed into a wolf. Then I howled, and stared down in grief and anger. How DARE this thing come along and ruin my pack! 

"So, I heard it got to your mother." said a voice. I wheeled around and punched him in the face. He didn't move an inch, just like the first time.

"HOW COULD THIS, THIS THING DO THIS???" I screamed. "IT'S GONNA KILL MY MOTHER, THE ALPHA FEMALE!!!!!"

"I tried to warn you. At least you saved your own pack right?" he said.

"I'm tired of this madness." I said angrily. "This MUST be your fault. YOU'RE the one who KNEW how to cure it. Therefore, you must have placed this curse upon my pack."

"No. An ancient werewolf told me after my old pack died from it. His last words told me the cure so that I would never have to go through it again. So I found YOUR pack and.......hid among the others. No one noticed a difference until I happened to befriend you. Remember that day, Ein?" said the red werewolf.

I was confused. I had never seen him before until this whole thing started. I was starting to get impatient. "I'm tired of your games. Just get to the point already." I growled.

"Oh, if only you knew who I was. Maybe you'd take me a bit more seriously." laughed the red werewolf.

I growled at him, "Take. Off. Your. Mask."

"Whatever you say.................Alpha." he said. Then he took off his mask to reveal his whole face. I took one look and stumbled back in surprise. "You," I growled. "How could you do this.....Omega??"

Acacia smiled. "I knew that if I had shown you who I was in the first place you never would have listened to me." she said.

"B-but how?? You were even able to withstand my punches!" I exclaimed.

"Simple. I easily put on the mask and outfit and.....disguised my voice it also made it easier because of the mask to muffle my voice. The punches.........I was always able to withstand them. I just never tried, making hiding my identity a lot easier. I was always stronger than you Ein." said Acacia.

I couldn't believe it. My mind was still processing all this. My dad had been right, she was the Omega of another pack, except that pack was MY pack. "But how could you put this curse on the pack??" I asked.

"I didn't," she said. "I only knew the antidote which I got from that old bloke when he was dying. And you know why I befriended you? Because you were the alpha and I wanted my position back. You were weak and easy to get to. So when you chose that Molly girl, my world fell apart. I thought that if I came to you in a different form, I could repeat what I did, befriend you again, and when you came to trust me enough, reveal myself, and become alpha female once more."

I couldn't believe my ears. "This can't be happening!" I cried. "Why didn't you fight Molly then??"

"Simple. Because I didn't want to break your heart. You obviously loved her more than you ever liked me. I loved you Ein! And that's what cost me the position." said Acacia.

"This is...." I started.

"Unbelievable?" she finished. "Heartbreaking? Not happening? Not right? Well, now you know how I felt when Molly became alpha and I the omega. You didn't give any thought towards me. You didn't care about me, you were just worried about being alpha. That's all that matters to you."

"Why am I even listening to the STUPID OMEGA?" I yelled.

Then it happened. She went down to the ground and was breathing hard. I stood there for a bit and watched her. Then she looked up at me and I saw her eyes. They were different than usual. Instead of being the usual soft dark yellow and indigo, they were olive green. 

She stood up and walked towards me and said. "There's a reason I was the alpha in my old pack Ein."

She looked intimidating but I didn't let that get to me. She talked some more and stood in front of me as she talked.

"This is usually kept a secret because if word got out all normal werewolves would be in grave danger." she was saying. "You never know of this unless there is one in your pack, which is me but I decided to hide it. There are 3 different types of werewolves, not 2. You have the normal werewolves, the ultima werewolves, and the hidden werewolves, also known as the arcane werewolves. Arcane werewolves are extremely rare and powerful and have been hunted down by normals and humans. They first came when the Ultima werewolf first had a family. However, the Ultima ended up being with a powerful figure which made, the first Arcane werewolf. Arcane werewolves don't have the power of an Ultima or a Divine Warrior. They have their own special powers which are unique to everything. They can also only use this power when their eyes turn to the Arcane color, or a type of green. The power of arcane werewolves is of nature, whether it's plant control, animal control, or for the more powerful ones, both. You can tell which power one has due to the Arcane color of their eyes. Lime green for animals, forest green for plants, and olive green for both."

Suddenly it dawned on me.......her eyes were olive green.............I suddenly filled with fear.

"You know with my power, I should be the one ruling the pack. I should be alpha. I'm even willing to do it with you. But I guess I should reveal myself and rule it alone." she said.

My eyes widened in fear, "Y-you don't understand, there's a reason I didn't pick you...." I said.

"You're only saying that because of what I am. If I wasn't an arcane, you would still be treating me like DIRT." she said angrily. Then her eyes flashed. Scared, I stepped back pleading with her. "Acacia.....please..." She only laughed harder. "You shouldn't have done this Ein." she said. Then suddenly vines wrapped around me tightly. I couldn't move at all, the more I struggled the tighter the vines became. Then I heard the sound of footsteps coming. At first, I thought it was my pack, coming to look for me but then I realized that it was the footsteps of animals that Acacia had called. My eyes widened and I struggled some more. I was gonna be eaten alive!

"See! You should have chosen ME to be alpha in the first place. Now you can get firsthand experience of how it felt!" she sneered. I caught sight of the animals she had called, a pack of wolves. I closed my eyes, ready to be eaten.

Thanks to JustANobody again for drawing the Arcane eyes and Acacia. I'm so sorry the picture is in HORRIBLE QUALITY, I couldn't find anything that could enlarge the original picture and keep the quality. And I don't have photoshop so.......yeah. If anyone knows anything good for this type of thing, PLEASE let me know in the comments. The link to JustANobody's account is below. Thanks for reading!!!
