*Chapter four*
Davina's POV.
Hmmmm.I inhaled slowly the freshly made cup of tea that Gabi had made."Gosh, it's taste nice Gabi" I sipped more watching the blushy Gabi.
It's been weeks now since my arrival and the awkward scene that took place at breakfast... so far so good. Everyone has been pretty nice to me,and by everyone I mean the whole community 'town'. I paused confused at what to call the extremely large population living in the house and some in other houses close to each other.
The other day Gabi accompanied me around the House for a stroll,and she explained something I didn't quite get that they are like a big family living together and been taken care of by no other than Cameron. Awk. I rolled my eyes oblivious to the amused Gabi staring at me. They all see me as a part of their family which I can't deny It feels nice to be part of something,to belong somewhere. But the past days have really been weird,I act as if it's nothing but questions have really begun steering up inside of me.
Why are so secluded? They all hardly go out into town except for groceries and stuffs like that.
Why do I feel like they are keeping something, may be something they don't want me finding out about.
Why the strange noises I hear around the house,like wild animals live closely. It could be possible considering the area their houses are located. I defended.
What's up with Cameron and the big bad title given to him. Alpha.
'Well I'm told he's kinda a king to them.' My inner thought again defended.
'Sometimes I don't get you' I said, mentally shushing myself.
'What do you mean.I am you and you.. me' It reminded. Annoying. I continued.
Why do their houses reside beside a damn forest?
I mean its almost impossible for someone to find it. I sighed again at more questions that kept on popping out.
Yet I'm beginning to trust them all.
"Gabi,Mitch's looking for you" Carter walked in giving me a smile as I returned warmly, sending a wink at Gabi. Well it happened that Gabi and Mitch have something going on between them. She said they are somewhat destined for each other and so on. I felt really happy for them cause they look really cute together and actually make a good couple. Carter on the other told me of his girlfriend,whose studying for now. I got up,holding my cup of tea,making my way to my room when i moved past Cameron's office. The door was slightly opened which gave me access to see into the room. There he was.
'God's perfect creation' I gotta admit,Cameron was quite handsome, sorry...extremely handsome,sitting on his office chair having more like a serious meeting with three men and a woman. They didn't quite seem like they were talking about work. Their voices were low. I didn't really know what happened but I found myself not been able to take my eyes away from him. He sat there, effortlessly handsome. Wearing a black collar shirt ,a strand of hair dangling loosely above his eyebrow. Which I weirdly wanted so badly to pull back the hair, rummaging my fingers through his soft black hair.
staring into his amber eyes,mesmerized by this God's masterpiece...before I could sink in any deeper I felt his stare boring through my face. Immediately, I twitched on my feet and hurried towards my room.
'What the hell is wrong with me?' I really hope he didn't notice me.

Cameron POV
"How can that be possible" I screamed frustratingly keeping my tone on check. "She's a human and I can't even read her" The more I thought about it the more it made me madder.
"Calm down Alpha," Rhona said. "I've watched her from afar, she has a strong aura which I strongly suggests its because she is our Luna. And so your mate. That's the only explanation for that." For the umpteenth time,Rhona explained again as she did for the past weeks.
She was always there for me and my pack. She didn't have to but she did anyway. Ever since I saved her years ago,she's been kinda a motherly figure for the pack using her witchcraft to help protect the pack anyway she could,even to the point of conjuring a barrier spell and a cloaking spell, thereby making any one unwanted visitor, be it a human, a vampire or a wolf unable to see and find our territory .
Yes, Rhona is a witch who has experience dark times too starting from the loss of her only son. I looked up at her only to find her the warmth of her hand comforting my arm.
I couldn't quite figure out how she always made me feel reassured and calm,maybe it the effect of her magic I thought,suddenly noticing the figure which stood at the door.
'Davina!' My eyes widened. She kept on staring, unaware of my eyes. She looked rather gorgeous. She was wearing a long baby pink blouse which ra,n down to her hands,her hair snaked up to the other side of her neck,giving me a glimpse of her soft skin exposing marking spot on her neck. I could feel Vittorio growing impatient wanting to grab hold of her and making her his...mine. I guess she realized I spotted her as she hastily made her way to her room.
"Alpha" Pablo called after much attempt.
"Yes Pablo, let's just stick with the plans." I said. "Any news yet on Pertrova's child?"
"Not yet Alpha" Williams spoke up. He was our pack's general. He, Pablo,John and Rhona are the only people I trust my life with after Mitch and Carter of course.
"I sent some men to assist Esther,nothing much has been found just the town where Pertrova had given birth. Esther is unto the midwife who helped her deliver, maybe we can find out if the child is a boy or a girl" John said. As I looked at him,he was my mentor,taught me everything I knew after my parents death. He's Gabi's father and the late Alpha's adviser, my father.
"Okay,keep me posted on the matter. I need to prepare for the pack's meeting" I dismissed them all walking out to my room for a shower, I needed it badly,maybe I can let out this steam and suffocation I felt deep within me. I moved into the shower letting the water drain right from my head to my toes,still couldn't stop my thoughts thinking of her. I hated it,I hated this pull I felt towards her. 'She can't be mine.' I say,staring at nothingness. 'For her sake,after all is settled... She'll have to leave. She's human after all and I'm nothing more than an abandoned fate.'
And I knew exactly what I had to do...
Third person's point of view Ten years later It's been ten year since the eldest child of Cameron and Davina was stolen. It's also been ten years since the war, and the attacks and massacres on Packs and Covens have been reduced. The remaining Vampire Kings ensured peace by enacting rules in their kingdoms and on their vampires to keep serenity and most importantly to ensure the safety of humans. During this ten years, Alpha Cameron helped other Packs get back on their feet. Those Packs that was affected by Darwin's attacks were rebuilt and Packs whose Alpha and family died were succeeded by their Betas. Alpha Cameron also helped several Packs and Covens with finances, trainings and infrastructures. He ensured none was lacking. The magical world remained nothing but midnight stories and fantasies to the human world. The Crescent Moon's Pack expanded it's borders and gained more territorial lands. Four more mansions were built few distance from each
Cameron's point of view The war was over. We attained victory. Darwin and his armies lifeless bodies were scattered in our territory, and also that of Rowena and her witches, even the pathetic traitor, Alpha Henry was killed during the war. Mitch's words rang in my head, but I couldn't even be ecstatic. I couldn't be happy for our victory even if I wanted to. Atleast not right now. Not when my mate is in that state. Luckily, the Elders and Alpha Dimitri were still around, they were kind enough to take care of things in my absence. It's been exactly an hour since Rhona and the Pack's head doctor asked me out of the room to tend to my mate and there's still no word. The Pack is well aware of their Luna's condition, they've been making prayers to whosoever is up there for my mate and pup recovery. I was still sitting in front of the infirmary door where my mate was being looked after when I picked up a chaotic stir in the air, followed by fast heartbeats. Without thinking twic
Davina's point of view I breathed in calmly. I was near the clearing field where we waited for Rowena. I could hear the swift movements of the enemy armies. They kept drawing closer and closer. I closed my eyes, breathing in the nature's magic coming from the earth, the air and the blood moon hanging up. The fast movements of Darwin's armies drummed my ears as I could feel their stench in my nose. They were almost onto me. I knew it was time. I pulled my hands mid-air, my fingers dancing, swaying to the rhythm of the concentrated magic around me. And in an instant, I snapped my hands watching the armies in sight drop dead on the ground from the snapping of their necks. I smiled, turning to the south of where I stood. I did the same when the enemy armies were in sight. I had positioned at the north direction, when an overpowering wave of magic ran through me. It caused me to loose my balance and stumble on the bloody dirt on th
Rhona's point of view We all stared blankly at the night's darkness, gazing up at the sky. It was a full Moon already, soon it'll become a blood moon due to the Lunar eclipse. A thundering growl echoed. It was Alpha Cameron. It was meant to inform everyone the war is almost at our door. I turned to the witches, nodding at them, everyone knew exactly what to do. Those who weren't fighting in the war had made their way to the underground bunkers and it has been concealed to protect them. I gazed at the sky once more, then a gentle but fierce wind blew to the point it shook me. I gazed around when the Luna met with me. "The wind was blowing from the northeast. This isn't good. Something big is coming our way. A storm that will destroy us all" There was a shivering in my bones. "What is it? You don't mean the war, do you?" She questioned. I wish I could tell her more.
Cameron's point of view My hands rested firmly on the railings of the second floor. We were at the mansion. Even from a mile away, one could feel the vibrations from the Packhouse and around the territory. I curled my lips into a smile, it was nice seeing so many people from different supernatural root in one place, united. I loved the view from up here. Suddenly a sick shiver ran down my spine and Vittorio felt it more. I exhaled, exhausted. It was hard being optimistic, shouldering so many burden while still giving hope. Truthfully,I was worried about the war. It was the last day already, and in few more hours we will battle for our lives and existence. I couldn't help but be worried. This was Rowena we were talking about, she has been preparing for this moment almost her entire life and I'm worried. I feel something terrible was going to happen, even though we were prepared for this war. Suddenly
Cameron's point of view I sipped from the cup of coffee on my table. My bloodshot red eyes kept going through some of the Company's business files Travis emailed over that needed my attention. After I was done I looked into the Pack's business I need to attend to under the Pack's name. Like the Pack's high school which needed a new curriculum, I also needed to visit the new Pack's hospital that has just been constructed. I was done signing the cheques needed for the Pack's finances. I stretched out from my seat, looking deep into the forest. Vittorio have been itching for a run, and temptingly that sounded nice. I rubbed my chin, decisively. It was pitch dark outside but I could still hear the loud noises coming from outside the mansion walls. The clashing of metals, howling of wolves, even the smell of the sweat. It's been four days already, and so far so good we've began training for the war
