 It is almost time for the alpha coronation. Although I didn't have a Luna the pack decided to give me a small ceremony but the bigger one would be when I find my Luna. Truth be told, I really didn't want to find my mate. Mates are a sign of weakness, they need time , love and affection which I am incapable of providing. I can provide protection but without any feelings. To me all my mate has to do is just to give birth to my pups and she must be a strong lady who is capable of going into war. 

  I got dressed and was about to leave when I caught my reflection in the mirror. My red eyes were always fascinating to see. It reminded me of my meeting with the moon goddess. I haven't seen or heard from her since then although I always thank her. 

   After I killed all the intruders, I was unconscious for a week. I woke up to accept the red eyes I saw. It was blood red and looked very fearsome. I had to relax for another week because my body was exhausted. It was after two weeks the funeral of my parents and some dead pack members was held. I remember not being able to shed a year and my mother's smile haunted me in my dreams. If I had been stronger no one would have died. Ever since the incident I was known as the red eyed alpha who was ruthless and very strong. Words were out and since then my pack was known as the strongest. After I became the alpha I had to change the pack's name to "Pack Scarred Pride" . That was how I felt. 

    As I opened the door I saw my beta and gamma. Troy Ranger and Carter Jones. Troy was someone I could trust and the only one I can listen to. We have been friends since childhood. Carter on the other hand is a loyal friend and a great warrior. After exchanging greetings we headed downstairs and went to the dining room in the pack house that was where the mini celebration was to take place. All pack members were already seated. I walked to the empty seat reserved for me at the head of the dinning. Everyone stood up and gave their respect. 

   David, the oldest pack member, stood to begin the ceremony. I was crowned alpha but he said a king isn't a king without the queen. I rubbed it off but as pack leader I didn't think twice about it.

I was out of breath and decided to stop. I think I have covered enough distance, I thought to myself. I felt very hungry because I wasn't fed at all this morning. I looked at my new environment in awe. I was mesmerised by the beauty of the forest. It was filled with different types of trees. Some were filled with what looked like berries, some fruits and others flowers or leaves. I saw a pool of water and for the first time I saw my reflection. I was still in wolf form. The fur of my wolf is white. I had sea green eyes. It is beautiful, I said to myself. I wanted to also know how I looked in human form so I shifted back. I was taken aback.

   My supposed light sink was filled with cuts and bruises. There were still signs of old wounds which were now wrinkled. My sea green eyes now seemed dark green because of the bloodshot. My fiery dark red hair is very short and was cut unevenly. I was naked and my body stinged as I applied the water on it. I tasted it and found out it was salty. I used more on the fresh injuries I have and blood flowed from it. I claimed the tree and took the berries and fruits. I had never tasted anything like it before. I was only fed with a tiny piece of bread and dry meat each day and it was only once a day or sometimes once a day in a week. It all depended on Dexter's mood. 

  I saw houses not too far away. It must be another pack I said to myself. I always read stories of werewolves and the punishment for crossing the pack boundary unannounced. Books were also stored in the attic, my only way of escaping reality. After resting I decided to cross the boundary knowing full well the consequences. It took about three days to get there, if I'm correct. I walked against bare soil as the part led upwards. I saw green grasses again. I was about to take another step when I was tackled down by a wolf. I quickly changed into wolf form trying to attack one of the wolves when suddenly I was forced to submission by a huge aura of power. I could feel the other wolves bow down. My sense of smell increased a thousand fold as I could smell the scent of rain and berries like the ones I ate in the forest. I looked at the source of the scent as our eyes met. I heard a small howl. I felt sparks erupt all over my body as he looked at me.
