Cain

"Your father is calling for you."

Cain headed towards an office door. He knocked before entering and stood straight as he glanced at his father, Marcus.

Marcus looked up to his son and gave a warm smile.

"How is your new school? Getting along well with everyone?"

"It's alright, just a typical high school. How's the search going?"

"Well, It's hard to say anything for now. We're going to search through some police reports and see if there's any information that can help us."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Marcus gave a reassuring smile at Cain. "Nothing at the moment, just be on a look out at school."

"Understood."

Cain left his fathers office and went outside to the front of the house where his mother Eva was doing some gardening.

The pack moved here temporarily in order to find the werewolf god. A few months ago a howl could be heard throughout the country sending shivers through every supernatural being. Marcus especially was caught up in the moment. The whole pack watched in confusion when Marcus's eyes were filled with tears. The howl especially affected every powerful werewolf sending them an emotional link as all wolves ancestors were once descendants of the gods.

The skies that evening were filled with terrifying storms and fast winds.

"Alpha! What's happening?"

Marcus clenched his shirt where his heart was feeling immense pain. "The god of werewolves is grieving, it's in pain."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise learning that the werewolf god was real and causing the havoc. Eva walked up to her husband and hugged him from behind, letting her transfer the suffering that the god was emitting into her. She too could feel the pain but it wasn't as bad as what Marcus could feel.

Eva began to cry her heart out. Cain watched his parents confused as to what was happening but even in his heart he could feel immense pain. 

After an hour things started to calm down and Marcus explained the situation. Everyone had always been searching for the gods. It was believed that the race of werewolf gods died out, clearly now that wasn't the case. Gods were especially sought out for as a mate as they were powerful, giving its pack strength, success, prosperity and health. Additionally these extremely rare wolves were able to produce healthy children, so for a wolf to have a god as their mate meant that they were extremely powerful and worthy.

"Cain, we need to find the god no matter what. Other packs are going to go find the god to mate with or worse a rogue beats everyone to the god. So-"

"I understand dad."

Having a god as his mate was something that he would only dream about, he felt extremely privileged. He was at the age to find his mate and since the gods could be claimed by anyone, he wouldn't want to miss the chance of becoming stronger and more powerful for his pack. He had dated many girls before but he felt like he wasn't complete without having a real relationship like his parents.

So the quest to find his mate began.

It was a difficult search since there were too many witnesses around the country pinpointing the howl coming from their own town or city. And within a month into investigation the younger wolves began complaining and even Cain considered giving up.
