Chapter One

Sitting in the Alphas room was a sad Luna, another month gone with a negative pregnancy test. She took all the medicine given by the pack doctors and even those made by the pack healers who relied on herbals and passed on knowledge from the wolves that came before them. She sat quietly and listened to the sound of children laughing in the playground from her bedroom window that faced the playground.

When the Alpha took her as his chosen mate, she picked this room because she wanted to always keep an eye on her future children and also just to be able to stand on the big balcony and have all eyes on her, let all that looked down on her finally look up at her. 5 years later and the Luna had no child or a miscarriage to show. Gossip around believed the moon Goddess was not happy with their union because of how it all happened and that is why she refused to bless them with a pup.

Others believed the alpha must not be performing his duties as he worked a lot and was always complaining of being tired.

Alpha Benjamin was a just and good Alpha. He always put the interest of his pack first and made sure all were happy and taken care of. Even though it meant putting his happiness on the side. Being an Alpha his biggest responsibility was to produce an heir for the next generation as the saying goes "a pack is only strong when the next generation is alive."

The unlucky Alpha had not met his true mate nor had his chosen given him an heir. He walked around carrying so much on his shoulder but was still able to stand tall in the eyes of his people because an Alpha can never show weakness. Standing underneath the balcony of his room the Alpha took in a deep breath and let out a sigh as he thought of his predicament.

A knock on the door brought Benjamin back to reality. walking back into his office and sitting at his desk to attend to whatever issue was about to present itself.

"Come in", he said as he waited for the person behind the door to revile themselves. Once he saw who was at the door Benjamin was grinning at seeing who was there. It was his longest and oldest friend Eden. Eden was born an Omega and was assigned to Benjamin at a very young age. The two formed a bond far beyond official duties, some could say they acted like twins and others thought of them as lovers. Some rumors even said they were probably lovers and it was because of that that the Luna was yet to be pregnant.

"Hey men, what's going on, I thought you traveled with the others to the brown moon? " " I wanted to but after I heard you were not going it wasn't worth it, he was going to give me the courage to talk to the girls." both men bust into laugher as Benjamin mocks his Friend who was always so shy to talk to women.

"Imagine that an Alpha, has to play wingman" at hearing this Eden burst into more laughter and ask his friend "where? I don't see this Alpha you speak of, but I do see my brother, so what's it going to be?" signing Benjamin said you know why I can't go men, I chose a mate already. What if I meet my true mate she will be hurt and disappointed in me for not looking for her."

With a sad face Eden nodded " but you know men it's been years and up to now no heir, you know the elders will sooner or later come and ask you to take another and another mate until you can produce an heir." "You don't have to remind me mahn, I see how sad Grace is about all this, we have tried for years, looked for help from different packs and hospital. They all said nothing is wrong with us. We time her heat we do it all. I'm tired men and I'm sure she is too."

Listening from the balcony was Grace, she didn't mean to listen but the guys were so Loud and it caught her attention. She tiptoed back to her room and cried herself to sleep. The two friends hugged it out and Eden exited the office back to his duty post. Being with the young Alpha for years and getting the same training had earned him a higher rank in the omega section and had even allowed him to be able to transform into his wolf which was something not common to omegas.

5 years ago

Fireworks could be seen from miles away as the coronation ceremony of Alpha Benjamin happened. Deep in the woods away from the noise, the elders surrounded the young Alpha as they chanted old hems to pass ownership of the Brown moon pack. A Name was given to the pack because of the brown eyes of the wolves of the pack. The lighter the brown, the higher you Rank. t

The elders read the rules to the Alpha, rules he was already too familiar with as he had to learn them and know them by heart.

He never really understood the importance of knowing them. As they got to the most important rule. the elders stopped and the leader of them spoke "young master what is the most important rule?"

Benjamin took a knee and spoke " I shall not lay with any other woman than my mate, I shall not take a chosen mate without the approval of the elders of the council, failure to uphold this, I will never hear the cry of a child" with that the elders picked up the seal from the fire and marked the now Alpha Benjamin.

Across the country, a powerful witch screamed in terror as a burning mark appeared on her body. Even her poor could not save her from this pain. Her mother came to her room to comfort her and upon seeing the mark, she knew her daughter was the mate of a powerful Alpha.

With that vow made the Alpha went to join the bonfire that was made in his honor.

Music, food, and women all over. But the young Alpha was determined to keep his vow, he had done so for years and he wasn't about to lose the battle. "Few more hours to midnight mahn, are you ready" a drunk Eden spoke to his friend. smiling and congratulating him on his new position.Meanwhile, the witch had managed to cool herself and gather her thoughts. she sneered at her mark in horror.

"Mother what are we going to do? how can I have a true mark? father will never allow me to be mated to a wolf, Alpha or not." " Shh my child the walls have ears, you must go and find him and reject him, it's the only way to protect him. Or you must......" "Must what mother? speak to me?". "Mate with him" "Mother I can't do that it could bring forth a child." Shaking her head at her mother's crazy idea. while another thought hit her mind, "mother I know when two mates share a lot of things, if I have never seen my mate before I got the same seal as him, what would that mean?" Her mother trailed off to think and the look on her face said all that Audrey needed to know. And at that moment she knew what she had to do to save them both.

Touching her mark she transported herself close to the bonfire and masked her scent so no one could tell who she was. The only way to get the Alpha alone was if he could smell her. It didn't take long for Benjamin to smell her for his wolf to recognize her call. When their eyes locked she signed him with her finger not to say a word and follow her. His wolf Derek understood and told the young Alpha to follow his mate quietly.

"Hey men, where are u going?", Derek quickly came forward and caused Edens wolf to submit without saying a word. It was as if the wolf understood the command without any word being spoken.

He kept walking until they Got deep into the woods. Audrey watched him from a distance as he came trying to figure this man out and wonder if what she and her mother had earlier suspected about him was true.

"show yourself, a deep voice grumbled through the woods, woman I won't ask you again, I can smell you and I don't have the time." Audrey gasped "it can't be, his eyes should be brown but not hazel", she spoke. "And now I can hear you Audrey". I don't have the time and since the alpha tone can't work over a mate's bond I would have had to cast a spell. like a magician, he moved his hands around and Audrey appeared in front of him. " How did you do that, wolfs don't have any magic? I'm sure of that." My human made a vow tonight and I plan to keep it." " Why do I feel like a BUT coming, and what human? the only person I see is you."
