Chapter-1

Neutral Territory

As the dawn break out, a beautiful white wolf can be seen running across the forest. Enjoying every semblance provided by the nature.

That beautiful wolf was none other than Warrior - Valentina Ivy Black.

While running the neutral territory Valentina stumbles upon a camp of rogue wolves.

Valentina's POV:

I was hiding behind a tree covered by fungi to hid my scent, the fact that I was covered in mud and wind was blowing in opposite direction to camp was in my favour.

This rogue camp was very well organised and different from the others I had stumbled upon as being a Pack Warrior.

It was well equipped with technological equipments. I was able to spot few infra-red cameras from my hiding spot.

At a distance of around 20 feet from me were two rogues whispering keenly.

I focused my all concentrate on them. I was intently listening to them, when I grasped few words of what they were planning. 

Their words made my body freeze with the terror. How can someone be so cruel to destroy so many lives for their selfish desires? The terror and fear that I felt was so strong that it let me unable to move for few moments.

As soon as I composed my first thought was that I can't let them get successful in their psycho plans if that happens then whole werewolf race will be in danger of being extinct.

I need to do something and fast. I cannot just go and fight battle here. I will have to be very careful in planning and executing my moves. One wrong move and I would be done for with whole lot of the race.

I cautiously turn around and ran back to my pack territory - The Sangue Lupos. It means Blood Moon. The pack was founded on the day when Moon had a natural tint of reddish hue and thus the name adopted.

Even when I tried to distract myself from what I had just heard, I was unable to do so. My mind was going back to same incident again and again and the fear accompanying it made my body freeze.

I was withdrawn from my thoughts by Dad shaking the hell out of me.

"Valentina, where have you been lost? A warrior should never be distracted. Have you already forgotten this?" He snapped at me.

His gaze unwavering and powerful. I immediately composed myself and took respectful stance.

"Sorry Enforcer. It would not happen again. My humble apologies." I asserted in a low but composed voice.

"It better not." And with the shake of his head, he dismissed me.

I arrived at Pack Training Grounds- It was the place where all the members of the pack above 17 trained.

17, was the age when a werewolf body has reached its full potential of growing naturally and where the training starts.

It was mandatory for everyone to have basic training of 4 years because it is what helps you survive in wild. After that you can choose from the different subjects taught at werewolf academy. We intermingle among humans quite well, we live in towns mostly where human population is scarce or not at all. But we are not behind humans in any field.

We have embraced the technology and have grown with it. And, now this technology is going to be the cause of our demise.

I am a fully trained wolf. After basic training, I have opted for specialized training of 2 years along with Management and crash course of Informatics Technology.

At 24, I was fully trained and well educated female and still unmated.

In werewolf world, you find your mate when you are 21. But, I have not found mine till now.

I hope to found him soon. A mate is someone who provides strength to you, who stands with you and who understands you.

My mind again wanders to the problem at hand.

I know that if I am going to protect all of us from those rogues I can not work alone. I need a team of mine.

But how will I operate without disclosing all the necessary information.

My mind had came at a standstill at this point. What am I suppose to do? I questioned to myself.

I half-heartedly completed my routine exercises and trained the group of Age-17 and came back to home. By now, it was around 6 o' clock in the evening and I don't even have a damn idea about what I am supposed to do?

I decided to go to my parent's home instead of Pack House. 

I ringed the bell and waited. After few seconds, the door was open by my sweet Mum- Kristin Black.

I hugged her. "Hey Mama, how are you?" I asked her.

"I am good, how are you and where is your dad and brother?" She asked.

"Still at training grounds." I replied.

"How come you here?" She suspiciously questioned me.

"Nothing, I just want to have a talk with Dad and can I stay for the night?" I asked her.

"Ofcourse, go freshen up, dinner will be ready in an hour and half. Come up then and your dad will also be home by then." 

"Ok, Mum."

I guess I will be needing my Dad's help in figuring out what to do next?

I hope I found a way to tackle with what I am faced.

Dinner

I was toying around with my food trying to think of a way to breach the topic. 

"Valentina, what is it that's disturbing you to this context that you are not even able to concentrate on your surrounding?" He asked.

My brother, Kevin and his mate Laila were keen on knowing what's with me?

"Dad, if you are faced with a problem, where you know that you cannot fight it head on, what should you do?" I asked him.

"Why are you asking me questions like that? What have you gotten yourself into?" He snapped at me.

I tried to think of a way to get out of the well I have dug for myself.

"Dad, I have not gone out of pack and If something big or small has happened you would have already been informed, its just that I read a Article by a Philospher: Alton Jones, so I was just asking?" I quickly formulated a lie, trying to keep my heartbeat steady.

"I see." He mumbled.

"Well, you did not answered the question?" I pressed him.

"Oh, If you can't fight it heads off, do it by hook or crook. That's my point of view." My brother quickly respond smiling widely at me.

My Dad rolled his eyes at him.

"I say destroy the cause of it." My Dad uttered.

And that's it. I got a solution for my problem. My mind formulating my plan.
