Chapter Four.

I looked back to Sabrina, who seemed engrossed on what they've been talking about and said " let's get out of here, Sabrina "
She nods and walks out before I followed. We took the narrow paths that led to the tall rocks behind the pack territory. We walked through the shorter woods and came out towards the water fall. The water hitting the rocks remained soothing to me each time we came to this side of the woods. I climbed up the fallen tree trunk after Sabrina, walking carefully so as not to slip. Sabrina jumps off on the stones and I did too, the tall water fall coming into view from the upper surface.
The air was much stronger here and it dragged our hairs behind us. I looked up and found the stars in astonishing numbers. They were beautiful, the most beautiful thing the moon goddess ever blessed us with.

" Well that's new " Sabrina said as she watched the stars too.
I smiled lightly and replied " yeah "
She sits down on the rim of the rocks, throwing her legs over it, down the steep rocky walls that stood opposite the waterfall, where we could see all the water running down. I sat down next to her, throwing my legs over the rocks too, shutting my eyes and throwing my chin upwards and letting the wind kiss my face and neck.
Zoning out, I let my mind dwell on the thoughts in my head. I brushed my hair behind my ear, and tried to listen to the wind and not think but even that was failing miserably. I couldn't escape this thoughts.
I opened my eyes and took my face down to face the waterfalls, the sounds of water smashing against the rocky bed soothing me.
Just as I opened my mouth to speak, Sabrina beat me to it, saying " do you think my mate would want me? "
I looked beside me to her, " everyone loves you, Sabrina, you're a lovely person and I think he'd be a fool not to want you, " I replied " he will definitely want you even more "
She turns to face me,giving me a silent smile. I smiled back and looked forward, up towards the sky, towards the stars.
" I don't think I'd believe that if you had told me, " I told her " I keep trying hard to get over these feelings but they keep coming back to me, right here and right now. That what if. What if my mate. . . . . .is dead. . . . . . . . ."
" Rose! Don't say that "
" Why the hell isn't he here yet then?. Doesn't he want me? "
" Rose. . . . . . . . . I think our pack has put this believe in our heads and it's so stuck up there. I think they've made us believe that having a mate is the most important thing in the world but it really isn't, Rose. I mean who cares if we don't get someone to tell us 'i love you' every single day? Just think about it. I know I wouldn't die. "
I looked away from her, my brows furrowing at the realization of what she just said. She could be right. What would I do if he even sprouted up one day and rejected me. Sure I wouldn't be able to live with that but that doesn't stop me from living. And I would live as a strong woman.
" Hey guess what? " Sabrina's voice brings me back from my thoughts. " There's this really awesome show happening at the yellow stone pack tomorrow. I think we should go "
" The what now? "
" You know. . . . . . . the neighbouring pack village north south, " she explained " they have another one of their shows tomorrow "
" Oh. . . . . . . . . " I lost track of my own words.
The yellow stone pack were known for their festive occasions which they always held at their place. They threw circus shows and many a times, Sabrina and I has managed to sneak off and watch them.
" Are you up for it? " Sabrina asked as she saw the reluctance in my face. I wasn't at all sure about that. She knew better than anyone how much I loved going places but I just didn't think these were the best times to be wondering so far.
" Are you sure? I mean I just think these aren't the best times to be going that far "
" Come on! Normally, I would be the one telling you that " she chuckles mockingly.
Sighing deeply, I replied " fine. It's not that I'm scared or anything "
" I know right? What could go wrong? "
I laughed, shaking my head at her.
Chapter five. Alpha Aiden. The screams and burning fire was a bit satisfying as I watched the little village burn down. I sat still on my seat, watching one of my warriors gather up the women. Pathetic little things. So vulnerable, it pissed me off. How pathetic was their Alpha who was being dragged towards me by my lead warrior, Drogo, his limbs tied up in ropes. He was just as weak as the rest of his pack. Those who dared to go wolfing on me were killed on the spot. The fears I instilled on people filled me up all the time, it drove me crazy. Power is a sweet thing. Power was all one needed to concur the world, to concur territories and take over them, to take whatever you want. Power was what these peasants called Alphas didn't have and didn't even care to have, putting their subjects into harm's way and getting killed themselves. Drogo stops in front of me, dragging the called Alpha to his knees in front of me. He has his face buried down but Drogo grab
Chapter six. Aiden. A few hours gone before the slaves arrived to the city. I got excited just thinking about what awaited me on the women's carriage. The night was quickly falling, twilight approaching from the west. I sat on the iron throne in my Castle adjoining the largest pack house, alone, waiting. Being an Alpha king has proven to be more easier than I'd thought as a child. But on some other point of view, it was life threatening but being the one with the power, you could do any and everything. The thought makes me smile. I knew my father wouldn't have let me sit on this throne. I couldn't care less about his death. That night.... He was a weak Alpha. When the city got invaded he did nothing. I could only say he deserved his death. An Alpha should never sit unprepared for anything, an alpha should never lose guard. An Alpha should always see the war coming and that is the only way to be powerful. My people feared me and I loved the fear I imposed on t
“ listen well and listen with your minds open. A night shall come when we would be in darkness for ages. The time lurks near and closer children, and it is no joke," Larkin said, her voice bold in an intimidatingly creepy and fear instilling way, her eyes wide as they stared from the children's faces to faces " a hundred years ago, when your mothers and fathers were but pups, when the bushes told tales to the ones you who listened well, a disastrous event happened. The night called the 'blood night'. It was a night never seen before. A night of total blackness, a night when hell froze over, a night which lasted for many Winters until werewolves couldn't shift and had to starve for many many months, hoping that the night would go away. It was a night when the blood riders crawled from behind the tall walls of the creeks and struck hard, giving an end to many many werewolf bloodlines, many of their kinds......" I lowered my head and leant against the straw walls of the old elder
Chapter Two. The clinical tent came into view the moment I stepped up. The dim light oozing through the door and windows causes me to sigh. Another long night learning some healing tricks as my mom would put it. Heaving another sigh, I walked over to the door and stepped in. The room as always was filled with the women, mostly the young ones. Just like me. Most of them stood afar, tending to one or two things. There hasn't been pack fights lately, for the past five months precisely and that gave me great relief. I could sneak out with Sabrina now and skate through the woods until we got tired. I sight my mom seated before the table, a wet cloth in her hand as she looked into another woman's arm extended across the table to her. She looks up to see me before looking back at the woman's hand and quickly dabbing the wet cloth over it before sending her off. I slowly walked to her, sitting on the now empty chair across from her. " Hey, Mom " I called tiredly.
Chapter Three. Sabrina was my best friend since I learned to walk. She was my only friend to be precise. We grew up together and pretty much did everything together. Even though I was seven months older than her, that never bothered either of us. She was a beautiful woman with a tall, slim body structure and thick raven black hair which she always cut up to her shoulders. they barely touched her shoulders now as she walked towards me, she probably cut a few edges again. Her doe eyes lit brightly as she walked towards me, her hand moving up to wave at me. I thought about what mom just said. The least of my worries was finding a mate. I still couldn't shift yet. But I knew my wolf was somewhere deep Inside me and she's probably too lazy to show herself. Sabrina was lucky. She started shape shifting after she turned fifteen and she had never stopped. She's yet to find her mate too but she had less to worry about than me. " Hey, Rose, what's up? " She called
