Chapter 4

As I place the last buttons on my sleeves, I picture what her wolf will be, I know she is the daughter of that healing wolf. My grandfather tried to marry her grandmother years ago, but she met her mate, and so did my grandpa but he still regrets leaving her, he literally found out what she was after he met his mate by accident.

Imagine what joy his own dad felt being a werewolf hunter himself, that is why he is so excited to know there is still hope and so close to, we need her not just to stay healthy, strong and powerful. Something the old nursery stories don’t tell you is that there is always more than just a simple kid's story.

My cell starts to vibrate and there she is my little witch b****, “Tell me she already got her wolf the suspense is killing me.” are the first words she says, I know she is dead tired of Susie who would blame my sexy girl, “sorry baby she is still useless, no wolf yet still not 12” I hear her yell on the other side, “She just needs to do one miserable thing and not even that can she do? F**k, when she does get her furry monster she is healing my anger as a human, with each hit I give her in her very special cage all for little miss luna.”

I love my girl Blaze, she is a hot witch with a model figure. She had brunette-colored hair but after trying to heal my grandpa from his broken shaw she lost some of her power, healing a wolf after a battle with a wizard is not easy to recover alone. My poor girl hates what happened to her, she has brown eyes and is perfect in every way, she dresses mostly in a fashion which for me is a big turn-on, always in blue, “Babe I need to go. I love you?” I don’t hear anything from her end so I hang up.

I got another call from my grandfather this time, “Yes?” is my reply to his call, “Are you in a bad mood already?” I have to breathe a bit, I just can’t handle him at times, I am not doing a single wrong thing with everyone. “No grandad, I am just getting ready and I am growing impatient.”

“Well, I just wanted to call to say, if it doesn’t go thru don’t fear we have planned well, and you have been an excellent boyfriend. Remember the Red Wolf, or Fire Healer, can heal anything, of anyone they choose, just like the story goes. Only the stories don’t say that those who were healed by the red wolf, also gain a year of life, they become stronger, fierce, and more powerful.”

My grandfather says I know this story by memory, but I know it to the point of having my grandfather drooling from it, “ For example, let’s say I break my hand after hearing both you and my girl yelling at me, just cause I need to take my stress out on something. Well, Susie, my Red Wolf heals me with her healing fire, making me a stronger, fierce, and even more powerful Alpha.”

My grandfather chuckles “That's right, now lastly the new hunters arrive tomorrow with their families, remember the deal that was made to them.” he hangs up. I am Alpha now even though my grandfather is alive and well, my dad is another story, my trust in this pack will soon end and I can finally be in a sense of mental peace.

I call my Beta Keanu to make sure the Rogues we made a deal with are ready to take my wolf to my pack, the only reason I visit so much here is so I could plan this attack and take both Red Wolves with me. Tonight, my grandfather will finally have his health back and I will finally destroy this shit of a pack.

“Everything ready?” I speak while taking my things to give them to the omega outside, it takes all of my willpower to smack the cocky face of that little omega.

“Yea I just arrived to oversee things, your dad is staying behind to keep things going.” not yet. I can’t show my real intentions just when I am so close to being, Alpha Jaime always rats me out, he is on to me, acting like I am head over heels to this bimbo is getting to me.

I finish putting my things in their bag, as I walk out of the room, I go into the designated areas I placed the explosives in, once her wolf was out we would take her with us. All was safe and secure, when I walked to the stairs where Susie would walk down from, she was pinned to the wall.

Susie POV

I hold on tight to Mykel, what Jaime did make me feel so wrong like I was a barbie doll or something, I never had someone do that to me, with his Alpha Wolf strength of course I wouldn't be able to fight back, I tighten my grip on Mykel, holding back my anger at how he did that in front of everyone. “Baby are you alright? Or do you want to go? We don’t have to stay if you don’t want to.” I hear Mikel ask me as we walk to the big ballroom.

“No, my mom came all this way for this and I really want to have some fun with my family.” As soon as those words left me he growled at me, I looked up at his expression and he was angry, what the. “Sue! Are you okay?” Kia comes over with a soda for me. I don’t like to drink. I'd rather have soda or coffee, preferably soda. “Alpha Lame had a mini-show with me, and I wasn't really invited.” Kia breathes heavily knowing herself how he can be.

“Well hey at least your mom is here with Samie, still shocked at your stepdad being here, isn’t he an Alpha? I nod at her question, yeap he is but his pack lands are near the coast so he is very far from this pack, I start drinking my soda waiting for Mykel to say something about what happened, but he just keeps checking his cell.

I stay still hearing Kia talk with me on different stuff like the latest she crushes that Cullom keeps getting, Kia is annoyed, it's cute but seeing her also gush over him is funny. I have a weird sense of humor. Yet I can’t stop feeling like nobody is really listening to me like everyone is waiting for something from me.

I look at Mykel who is still in his cell, what is up with him, here I am all dolled up, and nothing. I tap on his shoulder as he glances over me. I smile, and he goes back to his cell. “What?” is all he says with a bit of annoyance in his tone, what did I do now.

“What? After what just happened that’s all you're going to say?” he breathes heavily and twitches his ear, it's supposed to be my day and here he is picking a fight with me, or is it really me.”There is nothing more to say, he did wrong and he learned from it. Get over it.”

My smile stays in place but I feel even worse, maybe I should just let it go, I am always holding onto things as they matter.

I can’t believe him either, I know that is not the way one acts to their Luna, well more like a mate in general, but what do I know am neither yet. “I still can’t believe I get to enjoy this day! Sue come and dance with me!”, she says, completely ignoring what Mykel just said.

I give my soda to Mykel but he passes me without taking it or saying anything, so I walk to the table my mom is at and set my drink, taking Samie with me. After what felt like hours of just enjoying ourselves the music is turned off.

Chapter 5

Everyone that was dancing all over the place stopped, and Alpha Jaime took his stand. I looked at my gold watch to see it’s 11:58, almost time for the big reunion. I actually bounce my feet up and make a little happy dance, Kia smiles and laughs at my silly happy dance.

“Pack members who will receive their wolves by the end of tonight's full moon, please step outside to welcome your wolf, everyone else can walk to the front of the cement area, once we have our newest members and they have sworn their alliance, we will have our pack run. Thank you all, for your attendance.

This is it! I am finally going to have my wolf, my wolf is so close by, I hold on tight to Kia who is now nervous, ou no. I hope she doesn't get a small panic attack, Alpha Lame is always being strict with Omegas, Kia is no exception, I walk holding hands with her to feel a bit calm.

Once we are outside the clouds above are hiding the moon, wired. The moon is usually visible in the time of the change, I stand next to my girl, hugging her tight. I look around to see if Mykel is near to have a small pep talk, but I don’t see him.

I see my mom from afar waving as Samie jogs to us, Kia is now shivering and my head starts to hurt even worse than when I talked about that kids story, it feels like a migraine but twice as worse. Samie pulls my hand and I see her hand has a swirling thing around it, I look at it mezmerised not paying attention to my surroundings.

Then I feel it the moon’s shining light, I look behind me and the head hack gets even worse, I hold on to my head from exploding, not seeing Kia is shifting to her wolf, all omegas are your typical gray wolf, none of them are of another color, unless they are mated to another class.

Kia actually shifted to a beautiful sandy colored wolf, she howled when she shifted, but I didn’t shift at all. I look at Samie and neither does she. I look around to see my mom but she is being held by Dante and I try to see Mykel but have no luck.

All the other people here also shift into their respected wolves, I hug myself as I hold on my tears, I have no wolf. “It’s okay Sue mom did say this might happen, don’t feel bad”, I nod at Sam so I don’t feel even more stupid.

I stay still but then other wolves come around snickering and pushing me till I fall on the ground. Really? Pushing a wolfless she wolf after one's first shift? I broke crying on the floor, nobody, not a single person cares that I have no wolf.

I cry hard and Kia places herself to protect me seeing that the others want to make fun of me. I then see Callum jog to Kia, “Hey shhh easy Susie won’t get hurt sweetheart I promise, I knew you were my mate.” he tells Kia who purrs at his sweet words.

I clean my tears from having them ruin my makeup, I doubt I did a good job at that, “congratulations to you Kia and Callum, you two make a happy couple.” I say with envy and cold words still on the floor when Samie comes near me.

“Hey you don’t get to act so bi**** with us, wolves” those words hurt more then I wanted to admit. It was just the Beta but that hurt so much, I am a Gamma and Luna’s daughter with no wolf.

I see a pair of shoes walk towards me and I can see they belong to none other then Alpha Jaime, please no more. I get it I am a nobody, I have no right to be here just make it quick, make it quick Alpha. I repeat to myself.

My mother walks up to me with Alpha Dante, “Sue are you okay?” my mom asks as if she doesn’t know how hurt I am that everyone but me got their wolves, I can’t hide my pain and start to cry all over again, my mom hugs me as I keep crying.

“Where is Mykel?” I ask her now, slowly giving up on the idea that I am going to be happy with my new best friend. “I’m not sure we haven’t seen him since the rays of the moon came out and Kia shifted first then anyone.” awesome, so everyone’s attention was towards me either way.

He didn’t leave me did he? My eyes start to get a fresh pair of tears as it hits the idea that can only fit my pathetic moment right now, I have no wolf, my boyfriend left me and now I have to be rejected as an outsider member for not having a wolf, please just end me now.

Alpha Dante comes near us and I am a bit scared as to what is going on. I look at my hands covered in my dark makeup, I try to clean my hands in something and Alpha Dante gives me his front pocket handkerchief, I use it and keep it.

“Well I will start the initiations first and then when Miss Drama Queen is over and done we will follow as the pack laws are well known to follow.” he says in a really annoyed voice, greate I have him on my case already.

“Callum, congratulations on finding your mate, Kilala Emerys, are you ready?” the Alpha asks her, she nods with her ears down, she shifts back to finalize her initiation, Callum gives her his jacket as soon as she shifts. I stand to watch as my friend gets to have everything I won’t be getting, I don’t hate her but it hurts me to know I won’t be a part of this.

“I, Alpha Jaime Larson of the Small Moon Pack, welcome you Kilala Emerys as my Betas mate.” He slices his hand with a silver and gold knife, it looks Victorian and then he slices her hand, shaking their hands.

I feel a power course from Alpha Jaime to Kia, she looks more fit, stronger even. She looks at Callum who is smiling like a fool in love and she has a new aura around her, I can feel her strength from my standing.

He goes a bit back and waits for the rest of the wolves to be welcomed and initiated, Kia and Callum leave to head inside. I stand there looking at their direction, knowing I will never have that.

Crying my eyes out gave me puffy red eyes, still looking at the direction Kia and Callum went, Mykel didn’t even say he wanted to end things with me, he just dropped out and left. I hear Alpha Dante clearing his throat, I move my eyes to him as Jaime also walks to us, it feels like only a minute passed when I look at my clock it says 2am, greate.

“Seeing as you will be put to outcast but staying as part of the pack, would you rather come live with us?” He asks in a really gentle voice and for a split second I felt I was important to someone but he is just my step dad. What the hell does he know about how I feel.

“Sue my little baby girl, I am here you know I will never leave you hunny.” My mom tells me to soothe my hand. I hate being pitied because my dad, in this I know I'm like my dad, he doesn’t say anything but he also doesn't make it worse, when I am sad and stuff like that I hold it. I don’t like showing others they got me but this one is very hard to hold.

I look at my dad with broken eyes, “If you want to go, you can Sue, I will be here if you ever need me.” I lick my lips and taste the salt of my tears, nobody gives me a moment to answer as Alpha Jaime arrives with his own answer.

“Since you have chosen to accept being part of The Green Pack of Alpha Dante then I will transfer you to him. Easier for me and a much calmer mind that my pack won’t have a weakness like you.” He says in front of my parents and everyone in my pack house.

I have no words of my own from how much I regret having to stand here alone. I snap, “Fine, Alpha Dante I accept to move to your pack.” As soon as my words left me the last one hit my head and my heart heavy enough to make me hold on to my mom a bit tighter.

“I Alpha Jaime Larson, Reject you Susie Brown as my Mate and Luna of the Small Moon Pack.” I felt my heart being shot and plunged into pure cruel pain, Jaime was my mate… my mate?

A cloud of green dust covers Alpha Dante, my mom, myself and then I see it to be Samie, all of this while my heart is slowly becoming ashes from my humiliating rejection.

Chapter 6

Jaime POV

“Callum!” I yell for his attention after giving him a punch on his face. Training to stay in the game and on top of that, distracting myself as usual. I am so tired of having to do anything just to get that person out of my head.

‘If you would have waited on her, we would have been in a better state.’ Kai tells me with a growl at the end, as he moves to the back of my mind. I have been in celibacy for almost 3 years, that is except 2 months ago. It’s only 8pm in the night in our third training of the week.

‘Even if it’s true, we are better off with our chosen Luna, no point in being ashamed of having a good Luna.” I tell my wolf, surprised he answers, as I duck a kick and keep my defenses up. ‘It is wrong, she not mate.’ Are the only growling words he gives me.

I hold on to Callums leg and twist it to the side. I hit one head with another of two other warrior’s, I hate my wolf when he acts like that. We have a strong Luna, she has even made changes that made our ways of living so much stronger and more complete.

He should be proud of her and move on like me, but no. He is stuck on his old mate. The one who was pampered like a poodle, the one who acted like she owned everyone and handled it all like a- a. ‘Goddess? A Queen? Say it Jaime, you love her too.’ Kai says.

“Ou for the love of it all Kai, stop nagging at me over a stupid poodle!” I yell out as I hit the shoulder of one warrior with my fist, hearing its shoulder pop, “It's been 3 years for crying out loud! Grow up!” he growls in response, I need him but he clearly gives no importance to me.

“Kai still giving you a hard time?” Says Callum with a snicker on his face, I catch up my breath from my internal fight. “Daddy!” yells Cree, Callum’s 3 year old son, after he marked and mated Kilala she got pregnant and had Cree. Now they are waiting on another baby, a girl. He hugs Callums leg and smiles with giggles.

He picks his son up to hold on his hip, us being in speedo’s makes us look like men from those types of calendars. We prefer this over other types of clothes this way less clothes are shredded and humans never get their curiosity towards us, accidents can and have happened, specially towards hunters.

I get to the center where everyone else is fighting, I place a small green back on a warriors speedo, these have pockets that help us train. “Rundown!” The warriors take off trying to find who is the spy, the one with the green bag. I was about to run after them till I see the shoulders of Mykel leaning on the door with both his arms and legs cross.

“Callum, supervise for now. Seems our neighbor has felt like visiting”. I take my towel and get up the stairs. “Yes Alpha.” He takes off and his son run’s to the far side where his mom is, I stand in front of Mykel after cleaning up the sweat from my face I extend my hand at him.

“Seems your training is as harsh as ever.” He reply’s dryly. “We can’t all depend on grandpa for training.” I smirk at his annoyed face, he is almost always here and rarely in my pack house, always over seeing the building.

I should feel threatened but to be honest I have been searching in his own pack, he is very proud of how he guards his pack but I have send rogues to attack his pack and not one came back. So to be on fair grounds, I called the elders on these suspicions, he hated that.

Two years ago we had a conflict that almost got us in a war but we dropped it because he agreed in helping my pack after dating my mate for a year, ‘that is on you, you allowed him to date mate’ Kai throws at me, like I was already expecting that.

The dog has got one big fight against anything I do, but enough of that I need to see what he wants. Haven’t seen him for a year and 2 months. We enter the pack house, passing the rooms to get to my office, as soon as we arrive at my desk he starts.

“We need to make preparations to test the builded wall.” He says in a calm voice, jokes on him that I already did but I will surprise him with something else. “I agree.” I hit the intercom to the direct line to the elders.

“Goodnight Elder Howl, it has been a while. How have you been?’, I ask with a little relief, Mykel looks pale, good. I don’t know how he actually believes I am the Alpha to have him take me for a fool. He is up to something and I am not going to be used.

‘Well it’s been a stressful week for my family with the surprise of the orphan boy within the island and the other two young boys who lost their own homes.” I can hear his stress and anxiety about that, three children within a week to take responsibility for.

“If anything you or the council is in need of please inform me, I am sorry for interrupting you in these difficult times”. I say sincerely, any job of an Alpha is a hard one to take, we take our jobs as if it’s our own life.

“I was hoping to ask to be helped but if it is too much, would you kindly direct me to another elder that is not my uncle.” I ask firmly but respectfully, it is disrespectful for any Alpha to overuse power especially to the pack, my uncle is the first elder of the organization.

“It would be best to redirect you, Alpha Jaime, allow me to contact Pezi Miller, may I ask to what the call is for?’. He asks me with a curios but tired sigh and there is where I can see Mykel seething.

“I need a group of trackers to make sure the wall Alpha Mykel builded is safe for my pack, I have no intention of doing anything out of hate but my pack deserves to be safe just as his own, if not more.” I state with a firm voice in my petition. He takes a small pause and then hit the speaker button, I know because I heard another person breathing near him.

`` What do you say to that Pezi?”. He says with a small amusement to his tone, I sit on my chair that’s nice and cold, Mykel has his now fingers in his pants, having a death stare to my telephone as he too takes a seat.

‘Seems like a good idea, I will be there tomorrow morning to have the full details of it all, please invite Alpha Mykel over.” I smile at this choice of words, I see his face not moved at all making me curious on his answer.

“Hello Elder Pezi, it’s Mykel.” His answer makes the two elders mumble on the other side, clearly taken back by the sudden greetings, I have my hand on my cheek as the other is near the phone.

‘Hello Alpha Mykel, I trust you heard what is needed from this conversation?”. The look Mykel gave me said he took the shot and is skipping like a happy little girl all over my patio.

“Crystal clear Elder Pezi and Elder Howl”. He says holding back his growl, so close at giving me the idea that he is super happy to be in this. He presses between his bridge between his eyes in frustration, “We will see each other tomorrow then. Goodnight Alphas.” They hang up from their end.

I Love You... Or You?
