Chapter four

Silas POV continued

Nine years later I finally find her, my mate, our age gap of seven years didn’t bother me but I’m sure Lillias doesn’t know this. Her shift was very quick compared to even alphas, it took all of two minutes for her wolf to come forward. We all stood there in fascination looking at her, then she stood up tall and howled, this wasn’t a normal howl, even the kings howl wasn’t this authoritative. This told everyone that she was ready to run, I was still fascinated by her appearance that I missed everyone shift and start running behind their princess. I quickly strip myself bare and call Sax forward, we catch up with Lillias very quickly. I put myself to her right, her father on her left, we was heading to a stream, I could hear running water.

Scarlett POV

We got to the river quickly, everyone came to a stop behind me as I slowly walked forward. I closed my eyes and dipped my head, smelling the fresh water as I drank, ‘Scarlett open your eyes so we can see what we look like’ Lillias voice echoed in my mind. We both wanted to know what everyone was so worked up about.

Slowly I open them, feeling Lillias looking through our eyes with me. Tilting my head to the side, I see lilac eyes, I feel Lillias relax in the depths of my mind, I know she was worried that her appearance would affect me. I look past our eyes in the water to our fur, its white, snow white that sparkles under the moonlight. I shake our head, this made sense to me, given Lillias’ fears. Her hair and my fur matched, it was beautiful, I was amazed by my own appearance.

‘My mate, I am Sax, you look amazing. It is time to finish this run and head back’. I nod my head, looking up to the stary deep blue sky and let out another howl, letting the pack know my intentions.

We run back to the edge of forest, ‘how do we do this?’ Lillias asks me, I chuckle, she’s as new to this as I am. ‘I recede to the back of our mind again and you come forward, this time shouldn’t hurt, but later Lil we need to have a chat about what our appearance means’ I sink into the back of our mind and feel the shift back to our human form begin.

Lillias POV

We finish our shift back into our human form, Scarlett was right, it didn’t hurt this time. I was still very shocked with how our wolf looked. I regained my composure and quickly dressed, looking around, I see everyone’s eyes on me. Was my wolf that different? ‘ignore them Lill, it will all become clear soon enough’ Scarletts voice flitted though my head. A white wolf can’t be that rare surely? I now have a load of questions, I wonder if my parents have the answers.

Silas struts up to me with a huge grin on his face “Lillias, you were absolutely beautiful”, this man whom I am mated too speaks as if he has known me my entire life, I guess that is what it must feel like to him, I know he’s been looking for his mate for a couple of years, just don’t know how many years exactly. “Thanks” I nod in reply, my father approaches us, he looks pissed, his face scowling looking between me and my mate. “Lillias, we need to talk”, Silas growls, somehow looking bigger then his already tall and bulky self, like he was ready to rip someone’s head off. My fathers aura suddenly hits me, he looks Silas in the eye “SUBMIT” he commands, I can see Blaine flash behind my fathers eye, in an instant Silas is bowing to my father while baring his neck in submission, who now holds a smirk on his face. “Stop” I demand, my father looks at me then Silas. “You may stand” my father instructs, “but, you both follow me, we have some things to discuss”.

Angus POV

My beautiful daughter did incredibly, she made me proud. She managed to shift in two minutes, the typical alpha takes around ten, maybe Selene and Helios have something planned for her, I think that has been confirmed just by the look for her wolf, Blaine told me to wait and see, he knew, the bastard.

‘How you planning on doing this Ang?’ Blaine questions, ‘Do we really want our pup going off with this mutt?’. Blaine was right, no-one was good enough for her but she would hate me if I stood in the way of the bond, we are taught from pups to respect the bond at all costs. ‘Blaine it is fine, we shall speak to them best thing is, we know he can protect her, as much as I hate to admit it, this might be the best for her’. Blaine growls at me while retracting to the back of my mind, he might aswell have pissed on me he was that angry.

I approach Lil and Silas and decided to be official as possible “Lillias, we need to talk” I inform her, then I hear a growl, is he really growing at me, this brings Blaine to the front, he’s peering through my eyes with me. This prick needs to submit, and I shall make him, he will know he is what I chose for him to be, pushing out my aura I command “SUBMIT” straight away Silas is on one knee baring his neck to me in submission, so is the whole field. “Stop” Lillias demands, pushing her own aura out, I don’t think she realises this is what she has done as Blaine submits straight away, letting her mate up from his place of submission, “you may stand” I instruct them, “but, you both follow me, we have some things to discuss”.

I lead the way to my office which is on the first floor of the pack house, I flick on the light then sit behind my terra oak desk. This room reminds me of Lillias as she picked all the decoration, with the dark oak bookcase, to the golden swirls on the crimson red wallpaper. The glass droplet chandelier was her favourite item when helping me shop for this room, it made the light reflect perfectly onto every wall. All the chairs and sofa are leather, this girl knows how to shop.

I gesture towards the chairs on the other side of the desk and they both sit down, Lill sitting the way she’s been taught her whole life, legs crossed at the shin, knees to the side with her hands flat on her lap, a proper princess, she was trained well by Isla. “So, there are a lot of decisions you two have to make, also we now have to discuss the fact that you Lillias are a white wolf and what that means.”

Lillias looked at me confused then glanced at Silas who looked more knowledgeable about the white wolf subject, which spiked some curiosity in me. “Alpha Angus, what would you like to discuss first as I’m afraid the night is not young and my plan was to head back to my pack tomorrow with my new luna by my side”, I look toward Lill, she’s looking at Silas, like she didn’t know what to say. “I thought I would have longer to say goodbye to my family and maybe ask my parents a question or two”, Lillias looked at Silas with sadness in her eyes as she spoke. I honestly thought I would have more time with my daughter before she found her mate, now with this white wolf business too. I would have to reach out to the sun god himself or the moon goddess to figure this out.

“Silas, would you be able to put your leave on hold for at the most a week, I need to reach out to some family members” I request, Lill’s eyes snap to mine “you’d reach out to them for me?”, did my daughter really think so little of me? My family is my world, “of course Lillias, you are my daughter, my world and I love you like any father would love their child”. Silas would probably be better staying for the meet, I only contact them for important questions, I think this is beyond that, this is a small emergency, Silas seemed confused, looking between me and my little girl. “I shall call them forth, Silas please try not to stare, they don’t like it but you may ask up to five questions of them” Silas tilts his head to the side staring at me, Lillias smiles, with that I close my eyes and with Blaine’s help, we bring forth the ancestors.

Silas POV

Alpha Angus closes his eyes, I didn’t expect this, the pure concentration on his face. The room turns a mixture of half warm and half cold, specks of dust stand still mid fall. The earth seems to stand still no longer spinning on its axis. The only sounds are our breaths, not even a whisper, it is as if we are sat in a anechoic chamber, a female angelic voice start speaking from behind me and Lillias. “Angus, you called we shall always answer you”, “we see your issues, we decided it called for both of us to appear, we hear your troubles and shall explain” a male voice continues from the side of us. I can’t help but stare at these incredible beings in front of me, the female is tall with a heart shaped face, the brightest golden eyes I have ever seen, floor length white hair. She doesn’t walk, she floats, like who the hell is she? The male looks a double of the female except with short hair, his voice mesmerising, again this man floats, are these two siblings? “Alpha Silas do you wish to voice your questions, or should we answer them” the male regards me.

Shit can he hear my thoughts? “My brother leave the poor alpha be, I am Selene, yes he is my sibling, he is Helios, you will know us as the moon goddess and the sun god”. I must look like a complete fool, Angus can call forward his ancestors, how?

Lillia POV

I look at my relatives, it feels so long since my parents called them forward to ask about my appearance, I was a young pup and Selene came forward, said I would do great things in life. “Selene, Helios I want to ask you something please” I quickly jump in. “Ah our dear Lillias, how did you find your run with Scarlett? I picked her for you myself” Selene speaks, Helios considers my unspoken questions “Lillias are you sure you would like the answers?”. I consider what he says and nod, Helios sighs “Lillias, you are special for many reasons, Selene decided on Scarlett for you as we believe your well matched, with Scarlett being who she is and you being who you are, you will find yourselves with abilities, not just abilities of a royal or a descendant of myself, but of a future goddess. Where most of your ancestors have passed on, you and Scarlett will come to us, we will train you to take over us, both you and Silas, but you must not let this go to your head or it shall not be”.

This didn’t make sense to me except the part that me and Silas would take over from Selene and Helios after our deaths.

Selene speaks next of my fathers questions, “Angus my dear nephew, you as king would need to protect Lillias still when she goes to live with Silas, even though his protection is key here, there are times when they both shall need you, Silas’ fear of losing her will make him spiral at points, he shall need you more then ever. Lillias will be an alpha to all, even yourself” I look at my father as Helios continues what Selene started, “she shall have shortened pregnancies as she shall continue the line and being a goddess herself will be able to call us forth at anytime, Lillias will also process the ability to link minds with any wolf in the world, no distance will be too far” any wolf, anywhere I’ve never heard of a wolf capable of such things. Selene takes over again “Lillias will be able to do as no white wolf before her, she will hold great power, her weakness will be her love, as her love for her kind will heal others but she can also poison and kill plus much more, many alphas will want her and wars shall be waged. Lillias will visit often but need no transport, she will be like no other” I don’t understand what all this means, Scarlett does and has her own questions, they are taking turns in answering for again Helios takes control “Lillias will see into the future and be able to project these images into minds of others. This is our gift to you Lillias, use it wisely, remember not to save everyone, as not all are worth saving”. With that Helios regards Silas, “you have much knowledge but even that is only half correct, the both of you will learn together, Lillias may share her gifts with you and you alone as you are her mate”.

All four of them look at me, I nod in understanding but still wonder why I’m albino white, “I created you perfectly Lillias, you see flaws, I see beauty, you and your wolf are one in the same, you are white haired because so is Scarlett, I willed it this way. From now you will notice slight changes begin, I see your eyes have already started” Selene gestures to my eyes, Silas and my father spin there heads to look, Silas then stands suddenly making mine and my fathers head snap following him, he grabs a hand mirror off the bookcase, looking at myself I see what Selene was stating, my eyes are changing to lilac, just like Scarletts.
