In the early morning, some young Alphas from neighboring packs and others not so close gathered together. They were werewolves who had already lost a lot because of the war. Two of them, still mateless, were Alpha tweens. An alpha's priority is with his pack, and seeing members killed because of hate, members who either or their young children fell in love with vampires and ended up dying on the run because of hate or are still on the run, have hybrid children and grandchildren who are forced to hate, and especially those in their pack who kept these relationships hidden from the outside, because they did not think it was fair to oppose the unions of the goddess, led these alphas, in secret, to communicate with each other. It was the first meeting that these courageous alphas organized. It took courage to go against the king, especially when they didn't know if any of the alphas present were setting a trap for them. Although they had this willingness, some of it was inherited from
The royal beta enters his former friend's office and bows.- Sir, the Crystal Moon Pack Beta called me. The alphas want to schedule an audience with you.- Crystal Moon Pack? I don't think I've ever dealt with them. Is it a big pack?- Medium, sir. It has around 200 members.- What does the alpha want?- I don't know, sir; the beta said he didn't know. Aethelwulf snorts in annoyance.- I'm not in the mood for trivial matters. If it was a known pack…- Sir, the Crystal Moon Pack has always been connected to the royal pack. Some of our royal warriors came from there. You should know the previous alpha. He gave leadership to his kids about two years ago.- Kids? Do they have more than one alpha?- They are twins, sir, and they both agreed to lead the pack.- What the hell did they want? Are they from far away?- Several miles from here, but nothing that can't be done in a few hours.- OK! Schedule the hearing for tomorrow afternoon. Do they come with their mates? If necessary, prepare a
Julius sat in the armchair by the window, looking at the forest against the morning sky. “I understand you, Julius. It costs me as much as it hurts you, but I agree with you. If nothing changes, our son will have no peace. If he has the soul of Airon's son, he may not even feel safe. We cannot forget that they lived happily for a year, and suddenly, hell arrived at the door, and everything ended. Nothing guarantees that Baltazar's pack will be safe forever. And what do we want for Richard? The same thing Baltazar got for Aurelius? Yes, I know Aurelius is happy; he has his mate and son, but what if Aurelius never met Sterling? He has lived his whole life here in hiding; he doesn't know anything out there. And Sterling? Living like a human, from city to city, every ten years, no one would notice that they didn't age. Fifty-eight years on the run, without scent, knowing he would never find his mate. I don’t know how he and his wolf didn’t get mad.” “Thank you for understanding me. I do
The Alfa tweens arrive in the royal pack. As an escort, 20 warriors come with them, and they all stand by the cars when the two young men address the King, Queen, and their beta, who come to welcome them. With a perfect bow, they say: - It is an honor to be received by Your Highness. - one of them says. - It is an honor that Your Highness agreed to welcome us. - the other says. When they both fall silent, Aethelwulf smiles. They wore young people, and the young did not care about clothing, and he was grateful not to be stuffed into a suit and tied around his neck with a tie. Welcome to my house and pack. We are preparing a meal and have two rooms ready for you. I imagine you come in search of your mates. The pack is big, and you won't have the chance to look for it today. - We weren't looking for a mate, sir, but if we find her along the way, we won't be displeased. - No? So what brings you here? Follow me, we'll talk better in my office. By the way, sorry for the lack of polit
Vlad lay in bed, and one more night, he looked at the uncomfortable face of the young man who refused to leave his side. The couch was comfortable, and he didn't understand why it was so uncomfortable for the boy. To his surprise, this bothered him. “Maybe I should try talking to him. If what he told me is true, and if he was a gift from the gods to me, shouldn't I use him to verbalize thoughts?” The boy groans and turns over. “Why the hell is he uncomfortable? Every time he gets up, he looks like an old man with a backache. But the couch is very comfortable. I slept on it as well as in bed. What the hell?" Vlad didn't realize that the boy was getting under his skin. The boy turns around, falls off the couch, and screams like a girl when he hits the floor. Vlad gets scared, but then he can't stand it and starts laughing. He laughs so hard that he cries when the boy sits, crossing his legs and arms and looking angrily at him. - It's very funny. I'm here to be your confidant a
The war between werewolves and vampires had been going on for over 200 years and no one remembered which of the two species had started the hostilities.It had been guaranteed in the "Species Convention" that it was forbidden for non-humans to be noticed, in any way, in human cities, and that schools were neutral ground.Thus, during the 200 years of war, the two species ignored each other in areas inhabited by humans and paid large fees in schools, so that the two species were kept in separate classes.In schools, werewolves walk together, regardless of their pack of origin. The same was done by vampires, regardless of their nests.The schools were full of these two elite groups, made up of beautiful, muscular, strong elements that made other species and even humans sigh. The two groups hated each other, but respected the rules, never confronting each other on neutral grounds, with the exception of the occasional hisses or growl.A black Tesla drives onto campus, and all heads turn t
When Romeo finally enters the classroom, he doesn't know how he got there. He had used all his energy to turn his back on that man and walk there, without looking back, or falling to the ground because his knees were shaking. He sits down in a free space at the back of the room and takes a deep breath. - Even though it's the first day in my class, I hope this doesn't happen again. My classes should not be interrupted by people who don't care about keeping on schedule. Next time someone is late, stay outside. – the professor says, to all students, but obviously to him. The eyes of his colleagues turn in his direction, but at a simple glance from Romeo, everyone swallows hard and turns forward. The teacher begins to talk about what he expects from everyone, the importance of mathematics and the degree of difficulty of the subject, and immediately goes on to announce that in the next class he would carry out a rigorous test, to assess the ability of his students. The rest of the cla
Julius sits on a fallen log and looks at Romeo.- I don't know what the Moon Goddess was thinking, but you are my mate. And the way we met, tell me that you know that too.Romeo buffs and responds:- Vampires don't have mates.- But they have destined companions. I know that, and in the end, it works the same way.Romeo sighs and sits down on a small rock, a few steps away from Julius.- We have to resolve this before anyone gets suspicious. Just being here talking to you is a betrayal of my species. – Romeo says.- I agree. How can we solve this? By law, I cannot reject my mate without the king's consent.- What? If you're going to tell your father, mine will know too. From that and let everyone know, it's just a few seconds.- I know. – Julius lowers his head. – We could try to do this illegally… but I hate committing a crime, being who I am.Romeo buffs again.- I don't know what you're complaining about. You m…wolves, you have a second chance mate. My situation is worse. Whoever t
