Howl To My Heart

Seventeen Years Ago...

" Alpha Jürgen , I hereby strip you from your rank as Alpha of Purple Moons Pack .

Furthermore, you are banished from this territory with your wife and your entire family ,such as they are .

You may never set foot in this territory again . Doing so will be punishable by death . You have an hour to take all that you need and leave ....", Alpha King Nikolai's voice droned on as he glared down at the once powerful Alpha of the Purple Moons Pack .

Alpha Jürgen knelt before the Alpha King , who stood on the front steps of the pack house, in defeat .

His mate and Luna Ysolde stood behind him quietly sobbing into her mother-in-law's chest .

Her own mother Sophie wasn't there to comfort her since she is from another pack . Word would probably reach her and she may or may not be banished as well .

Alpha Tristan of Greyback's Blade Pack was a fair man ,but even he had no say when it comes to any orders issued by the Alpha King .

May the Moon Goddess protect her mother .

May she have mercy for all of those that may stand against them for Ysolde had none.

Not even for those who was present to witness the humiliation of their now former Alpha .

They stood there all around them with hate and disapproval in their gazes .

Some even looked incredibly smug , leering at the once great Alpha as if he was lower than the dirt they stood on .

All of this was because of Ancient superstitions that had caused people to forget their humanity .

It is considered a bad omen when a child is born into a pack with red hair .

It is said that such a child will bring doom upon werewolf kind if he or she is left alive .

It is said that such a child is the dark spawn of the Sun Goddess, the rival of the Moon Goddess .

Such a child must die as the law predicts .

His or her family must then be banished from the pack and it's territory ,doomed to roam the no man's lands in between pack territories .

A vast strip of land that are hard to survive in , what with ferals roaming the land .

There are no exceptions made .

Not even for an Alpha who had dedicated his life to the betterment of his Pack .

He had sinned in the eyes of the Moon Goddess and all of werewolf kind .

It doesn't matter if he could not foresee that his child would be born with the dreaded flaming locks that proclaimed her as the harbinger of dark days .

How could he?. He wasn't an Omega or a member of the Black Oracle Pack .

He was completely innocent . His only wrong doing was fathering the child .

" ...no pack shall be allowed to take any member of your family in . No exceptions shall be made for mate bonds whatsoever . It is to prevent more of the abominations to be born into our world . You will be allowed to say your farewells to your child before you leave . However you will not be allowed to take her with you. You are not permitted to know where ....".

Ysolde clutched tighter onto her mother-in-law, soaking her red silk shirt with hot wet tears .

She didn't want to listen to the Alpha King anymore . All these words just buried the knife deeper into her heart .
