4. Sunshine

Abraham Stephan's POV

Since this pack moved here, we have to work hard to build back this pack from scratch. We were moving in a rush, to protect what's left after the encounter with the hunters.

This land was owned by my ancestors, back then when they started this pack. About a decade later, the number of pack members are constantly increased. When this pack land can't accommodate this numbers, my grand father move Riverdale to a bigger one, which more exposed and close with human territory.

Not all human are bad, but there are so many of them who are hungered with power and have an instinct to dominate another species. In this few decades, they had formed an alliance with an organized structure, having trained warriors, also scientists who invented so many weapon to help their mission.

We werewolves are not their only target. Few millennia ago, they made sure the monsters are extinct, the huge invasion to their natural habitant was covered as the cross war. After that they aiming for wizards, Salem tragedy was just one from so many genocides attempts they did that became well-known, even that information was mostly sugarcoated into their liking.

Now they are aiming werewolf kind after killing the most of the lycans. Lycans are superior species than us, but not too many has existed, killing them were not easy, it's not a secret that they sent so many hunters in a suicidal mission.

We had moves here for 24 years, and develop a service company, contractors with the specialty in building, plumbing, electricity, and landscaping, that become famous in no time. We serves nearby cities under name Riley's company. They love how fast and great we works. Well, with the number of elemental wolves in our pack, that works were easy-peasy, and we make wonderful money out of it. We also have a gold mine in this area, that makes us have pretty good saving.

My mind kept comeback to my little Moira. This sweet little thing is practically the center of my universe, Pop's baby girl. Her father wasn't in the picture, and she was raised by my daughter and I. She is a cheerful and brilliant girl, so smart and energetic, a bright future alpha that we had to raise as a human, because my daughter was too afraid of losing her.

24 years ago, I was ready to give the position to the next alpha, my son, Damian Stephan. He was a strong alpha and a top notch warrior. In the night of alpha ceremony, an army of hunters ambushed us. They threw several wolf's-bane smoke bomb to weakened us, and kill the most of pack member who were present in the ceremony.

Where were the guards?

Let's get back to the attack first. There were so many white wolves among our pack members. Those who realized what happened, hurry to do what we were trained for. The elementals attacking, the warriors guarding, the magicians creating barriers, and those who were able, evacuating the kids, elder, and preggers.

The problem was, there were some rats inside our pack. My own gamma and zeta. They were mates. The zeta, Randall were poisoning the most of guards and warriors to weakening them. And in the afternoon, few hours before ceremony, he poisoned the guards on duty. He was put a high doze of wolf's-bane, also the rare white moon flower extract inside his mate's home bake muffins. White moon flower is flowers of a plant species which genetically mutated by human scientist, that could kill all canine species in just few minutes after they consumed it.

I cant move after a dart pricking my neck, but sober enough to watch what happened. My son died protecting his sister. Damian and Sabrina were always close, and his death got her traumatized of losing someone, and also blame herself from not able to shift and defend her family.

One of the poisoned guard mind-link me before his death, telling what he saw. Just before preparing for his duty, he catch a sight of our gamma, Meghan, put some strange powder into her muffins batter, but he never got suspicious, as she loves to share her baked goods to all pack members, and never once something bad happened.

I managed to catch Randall after killing his mate with my own hands, she was about to throwing silver dagger toward Sabrina and I ripped off her head. Randall was in pain upon the severed mate bond. I gave him an alpha command to confess what he did.

The attack killed almost half of our population. The idea of that land would never be safe anymore, made me took the decision to moved back to this pack land. It's safer here.

Sabrina was quiet and sad, not able to move on from Damian's death. She didn't even talk to me. One day, when she just went out of the pack territory for a grocery shopping, she came home with a man. Yep, her mate. A rogue. Honestly, I wasn't trust him. But I gave him a chance, for Sabby's sake, a matebond could lift her trauma and give her a happiness she deserves.

Moira was lives separately from us since two weeks ago, to attend college, although she promised to come home every weekend possible. I missed her so bad, that little sunshine always brought me happiness. She never missed to remind me whenever the eat time comes, singing for me while accompanying me working, asking me to be her dance partner when realized that I was in a bad mood, and many more.

She called few hours ago, told me that she was on her way home, that I don't need to send someone to pick her up in the bus stop. She sound happy being far away from us, while I'm not really ready to let her go.

'A car is entering the pack-land border.' Juan, our warrior on guard mind-linked me, brought me back to reality.
