moon's chosen

Prologue | Spoils Of War

I stood toe to toe with the general, the psi had the same look I had on my face. Once that spoke of the death we would reign upon each other, he lunged first.

My lycan surfaced and grabbed him by the neck, my instinct overcame me and I quickly brought my face to his neck and tore at his jangular. I pulled away with a smile, the tips of my canines burnt into my skin but the taste of blood and it warmth had me locked in on my shift.

He wouldn't come back from that, and by the look in his eyes he knew it too. Two years ago I severed my canines during battle, I thought it was the worst until I went through the archives once. There was an Alpha who replaces they're canines with ones of silver and I did the same, they were a gift to my lycan for her formidable strength. She dropped him and sniffed around for the next higher up, the battle had come to a stand still.

All of the opposition's eyes were upon me, he was their last. I retracted back into my human form and scaled the battle field for the man who brought us aid. It was my decision to decide what to do with the men and women, but as a thank you I will give the honor to him.

I saw him on the ground, ending the fallen's suffering. The warming of my chest told me a story of misfortune. We were on of the few, the moon chose her children for specific reasons. No one ever knew their mate until the seventh encounter, yet here we were. Crossing paths for the first time, I wiped myself on my shirt and waited as he tended to his pack.

There was something about the way he cared of them, it had my heart swelling with pride. I watched as our psi gave our fallen mercy, as Main Kappa I wasn't even supposed to be out in the field. As Alpha my mate wasn't supposed to be out here unless they were suffering in numbers, yet here we were.

The fields fed with blood and death... I will never forget. I wish Alpha could see this, the price of victory. But he ails in the house.

We locked eyes, I forgot to breathe. This man was not real, my breathing was shaken as we gravitated towards each other.

Chest to chest we looked upon each other, his hand cupped my cheek while the other wrapped around my waist. "You smell of silver," I smiled.

"So do you, it's a pleasure meeting you Alpha Haydn." Brought my own hand up to his face and Familiarized myself with the skin.

My eyes could not stray from his long enough, "as the ender of the battle I offer you the right of choice for the fates of the losing side."

This was attraction to power, I could feel our packs eyes on us. This was odd, strangers embracing on the battle field? Yet this man was not just a stranger, this was my moon's chosen. "We thank thank Desar Oasia for their offering."

We spoke for everyone to hear, I slowly untangled myself from him. Feeling an absence over come me, I spun away and ran back home to tell my Alpha of the victory. I ran in human form, ran as fast as my legs could carry me as my excitement possessed me.

I should shower then meet him when he's with the Alpha. Lost in my thoughts I toppled over and fell into my knee.

I sat on the path, regaining myself as I thought of what to do next. It was screaming in main but all I wanted was to fix myself up.

I stood and dragged myself to the pack compound. I took a well deserved shower, hot water and steam covered me as life rain down the drain in its reddened path. Soap foamed up on my skin as I rid off the layer of dirt I had accumulated. My thoughts swirled with him and what out future could look like. I would need to prove myself to his pack.

I have already proven myself to him. I gave him Spoils of my victory proving I can be a provider. I can be Alpha female for him, I can lead as he needs me to.

I sat in front of the mirror of my room and snuggled into the gown, the peach material made me smile bright. Slowly I ran my comb through my wet hair, eyes never left the reflecting glass as I noticed the burn marks barcading my chin. I'm sure he'll have them too.

I dressed simply, I pulled on some charcoal colored jeans and a grey t-shirt.  I examined my weeping plaits and grabbed a shawl to show that I mourned the loss of our pack.

As much as I didn't, my mind was elsewhere I slowly crossed the room and looked at the sky. My eyes found the goddess without trouble and I smiled unto her silver face. "Thank you, mother."
