Chapter 4: Blood Moon

When there is only the three of them, Alpha Broderick sighed before sitting on the altar's stair.

“Honey your decision is right, she's our daughter, we can't just banished her because she's wolf less” Luna Dianne comforted, patting Alpha Broderick's shoulder.

“I know, I swore to protect our daughter. There's nothing to worry about” Alpha Broderick replied, glancing towards Princess Hana's direction. “Are you alright?”

“I-I'm fine. Sorry for ruining the pack's reputation” Princess Hana replied with her head lowered.

“Don't be sorry, being wolf less doesn't mean you're not going to get your wolf. It just takes time” Alpha Broderick said with a gentle smile on his face.

Princess Hana nodded her head while still lowered. Alpha Broderick and Luna Dianne looked at each other before sighing. “You need to rest now, don't take to heart what happened today. Tomorrow will be different, trust me” Alpha Broderick stated with certainty at Princess Hana in comfort.

Luna Dianne then escorted their daughter to her room making sure she'll take her rest.

The next day, rays of light shone brightly coming from the window of her room. Princess Hana woke up with her tired body before walking out. A sweet scent of her favorite food entered her nose making her eyes open wide.

She immediately rushed over to the dining area where she saw her father sitting on his chair reading a book while her mother puts food on the table. They noticed her at the same time and smiled.

“Good morning sweetie, come and have a sit. I have cooked your favorite” Luna Dianne said warmly calling her to take a sit.

Princess Hana smiled happily before walking towards the table and took a sit. She is happy, it’s such a wonderful day having breakfast together with her family.

“Good morning mom, Good morning dad, you two are the best!” She happily stated, her smile was so bright as if what happened yesterday was just a dream. “Oh wow! My favorite.. huh? Why does it look different from normal?”

“Of course sweetie, I've applied some special ingredients in it. Try it” her mother boasted with her chin raised.

Princess Hana smiled before putting a spoonful of food in her mouth. Her action made her mother chuckle in happiness, she also saw her father smiled faintly.

“So how's your sleep?” Her father asked after putting the book he's reading on the table.

“It's nice and cozy” Princess Hana replied difficultly as her mouth was stuffed with food.

“Finish your food first” Alpha Broderick commented smiling bitterly.

The three happily ate their food while having a joyful conversation. It was such a lovely and peaceful scene for a family.

However, the door suddenly burst open and a middle aged man entered the place disrupting their happy meal. He was robust and looks strong, but his face was full of sweat. He look left and right as if searching for someone before it landed on Alpha Broderick.

His face brightened and immediately ran towards Alpha Broderick’s direction. He then kneeled to the floor and reported in haste. “Alpha, Gamma Sydric and the warriors you sent to the Bright Moon Pack for negotiation has returned”

Alpha Broderick's face doesn't look well, he stared at the person who went in coldly. “Where is your respect Delta Cluxx? You only have that trivial thing to report and you have the guts to barged in our place just to report that?!”

“Beta Jack must have been so lenient on you that's why you're showing such misconduct”

Delta Cluxx’s face whitened in horror, he hastily bowed his head and begged. “P-please forgive me Alpha, I.. I was ordered that it was urgent..”

Alpha Broderick stared at Delta Cluxx before calming himself. His timing was just so bad, disrupting their meal which made him lost his cool. “Alright, tell me what's so urgent about Gamma Sydric's return?”

“G-Gamma Sydric... H-He's heavily wounded! And the 10 warriors he brought with him... only t-three of them... only three of them managed to return!” Delta Cluxx relayed as he was shaking uncontrollably, not in fear but in rage.

Alpha Broderick's face darkened before standing up from his seat. ‘Take care of our daughter’ he sent to Luna Dianne through mind link before leaving the place. Delta Cluxx also followed after him.

“Mom let's take a look” Princess Hana said as she stood up from her chair.

“No. Let's stay here”

“But Mom, Gamma Sydric has been so good to me”

“He's still alive so don't worry, just finish your food first. Okay?”

Princess Hana look towards the door before nodding her head. Her mother didn’t allow her to leave and could only sit down.

“Why are you not eating your food?” Luna Dianne asked Princess Hana with a frown, she personally cooked it as she know it was her favorite.

“I lost my appetite”

'Sighs' Luna Dianne could only sigh inwardly by her daughter's response.

Alpha Broderick finally arrived at the treatment house, it was a tall and wide building. It was the place where werewolf who expertise in medication resides, providing medicine to the wounded warriors and subjects of the pack.

After walking for several minutes, Alpha Broderick finally saw the group of doctors of their pack surrounding a bloodied person. It was none other than Gamma Sydric who looked weak and was breathing weakly.

A few meters away from where Gamma Sydric was lying, three burly men could be seen. One of them was already dead while the other two are on the same situation as Gamma Sydric.

When Alpha Broderick saw their current state, his heart couldn't help but tighten. They are his loyal subject that followed his order, and this happened to them because of him.

“How's the patient's condition?” he asked the doctor checking on Gamma Sydric’s vitals.

“He's fine, with his current healing ability, his wound will probably heal in approximately 3 days” the doctor replied respectfully.

“A.. Alpha..”

“I am here, what is it? Do you have something to say?” Alpha Broderick asked full of concern.

“B-Bright Moon Pack.. t-they've colluded with..” Gamma Sydric spoke with much difficulty “.. with those filthy Blood Moon!”

Alpha Broderick trembled in rage at what Gamma Sydric reported. His fists were unconsciously clenched due to anger.
