SILVER MIST PACK
The Silver mist pack bustled with festivities, the people were gathered together, eating, drinking, laughing and jesting. It was a beautiful sight to behold, the atmosphere was a beautiful one too. It was obvious, everyone was happy because at long last, the Alpha King finally had a child to call theirs after so many years of waiting. Although, it wasn't a male pup as the people thought it would be, but whether male or female, a child will always be a child.
The dancers danced as loud music was blasting through the speakers and the people moved their bodies to the rhythm while cheering the dancers who danced tirelessly.
Wolves from different parts of the pack trooped in, in their hundreds and thousands, to felicitate with the Alpha and Luna. Some were truly happy while some came to see if it was true that the Luna had finally given the Alpha, a child. Murmurs could be heard from different corners but no one dared to speak ill, out loud, of the Alpha's family. It was a crime to disrespect the Alpha, the Luna or any heir to the throne and the Alpha's family at large. If such was heard, such wolves would be banished with immediate effect and his or her family would be banished too. Despite the love they had for the royal family, they still feared them because the punishment for any crime was not in any way palatable.
The people were still enjoying themselves when they heard a loud noise, it was the sound of the gong of silence which signified that an important event was about to take place. After hitting it the third time, the guard stopped and immediately, silence filled the air and the attention of all were on the old figure who stood on the high platform with a child in his arms.
Alpha Elder Davon was the oldest living member of the Silver mist pack and royal family. According to tradition, the oldest member of the royal household would name the youngest, newest member of the royal household which was what was happening at that moment. The child was carefully wrapped in a shawl and placed in his hands, sleeping peacefully as he addressed the Silver mist pack.
"Citizens of the Silver Mist Pack". He started, and they gazed at him quietly as he continued. "We all are gathered here on this great day for a purpose,which is to name our beloved princess, the daughter of Alpha King Charles Silver and Luna Isabella." He stopped and sighed before he continued again.
"As you all know, this is something we all have been expecting for a very long time and today we have it; a princess added to the royal family. And today I, as the oldest member of the family, have been tasked with the sole responsibility of naming this child and it gives me so much joy. " He spoke weakly, given that he was very old but he spoke with so much authority.
He lifted the child up into the air with both hands as he began to mutter some words while the people watched on in sheer silence. He had only done this for a few minutes when he stopped abruptly and shouted;
"By the power vested in me by the moon goddess and as the oldest member of this royal family, this child shall be called, VERONICA CHARLOTTE SILVER, DAUGHTER OF LUNA ISABELLA ROSELYN AND ALPHA KING CHARLES ERIC SILVER OF THE SILVER MIST PACK. Citizens of the Silver mist pack, behold your princess!" He declared authoritatively, and the people cheered happily.
"Now, let the festivities continue!" He said finally and then handed the princess over to the Luna, after which all the members of the royal household walked back into the inner court of the palace in one single file according to tradition. After the last member of the royal household walked into the inner court of the palace, the people began to dance and celebrate once again.
Luna Isabella laid the baby in her cradle, in the nursery and then asked her maids to keep watch over her while she went back into the inner court to meet the Alpha, who was with the other members having their own celebration.
"Congratulations once again, Luna. I must say, you birthed one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen." One of the members, Killian said, raising a glass, while others nodded in agreement and raised their glasses too.
"What about me? Won't you all congratulate me too? I mean, she wasn't the only one who made the child on her own, right?" Alpha Silver said, with a smirk on his face and winked to his Luna, making everyone burst into a round of laughter.
"That's true. Congratulations to you too, Alpha." They all chorused and laughed again afterwards.
"Thank you so much." He said with a big grin. "Let the celebration continue." He added, and they all cheered as they drank and ate with so much happiness.
Suddenly, the wind began to howl, the trees swayed back and forth, ferociously, the loose housetop sheets clattered and clanged, and the opened windows of each house shut with a loud bang. All forms of electricity was suddenly cut off and the people began to run helter-skelter, every wolf calling out to their pups, to take cover from the impending doom. The cloud began to darken, and in no time, there was no sign of light.
Every single being in the Silver mist pack shook in fear of the disaster that was about to happen at any moment.
After some minutes of so much turmoil, peace and light was restored and everyone began to come out of their hiding places, checking for ruins and wondering what could have happened.
Suddenly, there was a very loud howl from the palace and the ever-peaceful Silver mist pack was thrown into disarray just in the twinkle of an eye once again.
"The princess!!!! I can't find the princess! I can't find my baby! She is gone!" The Queen Howled.
The powerful sorceress, Caterina, had entered the palace and tragedy had struck! The princess had been kidnapped!
EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER(SUN CREST PACK)“Beck, where are we going?” Veronica asked, feeling tired already, “We've been walking for hours now, and the full moon festival is about to start.”“We're almost there, it's not really far anymore.” He said, still walking further into the woods.They kept walking for twenty more minutes until he stopped walking and turned to look at her, who was already exhausted, “Is this where…where we are going?” She stuttered.“Well, I don't know.” He responded.“What? What do you mean you don't know? We've been walking for an hour and a half, and you're saying you don't know where we are going?” She said, almost screaming.“ Well, I mean, yes.” He finally answered.“You are really something, so what are we doing here?” Veronica asked him.“ You know I love you, right? And I will always love you.” He began.“ Yes, I do, and I love you too, but that doesn't give enough explanation for us to be out in the woods this late.” She said, looking around.He didn't sa
Veronica didn't know what to call the emotions she was feeling towards Beck at that moment. She was mad at him, she was sad about the things he said to her. She also wanted to go and help him with the pain, but at the same time, she just wanted him to suffer more pain than she was feeling.Instead of using the front door, she went through the back door because of the other omegas that hadn't left for the Moon festival and Kiera. “If they saw me like this, they would make me explain what had happened.” She thought to herself as she sneaked in through the back door.She thought about it for a while and decided to go back into the woods. The pain of the mate bond was killing her, so she couldn't think well. She didn't want anyone to see her like that, so she ran into the nearest woods.Not thinking straight, she kept running in whatever direction her legs took her. She didn't know for how long she was running until she came to a stop after hearing a growl coming from the woods.At first
"The pain of the broken mate bond is tougher than I thought," Beck said to himself.He tried standing up but fell almost immediately, “I am going to be the Alpha of this pack in less than three days, I can't be this weak because of a broken mate bond.” He told himself as he began to try to get up again.He forced himself to stand up and sucked in the pain. He took a couple of steps and almost fell down but held on to the nearest tree he could touch.The walk to the pack house was quite far because he had to get Veronica to a place where no one would see or hear him rejecting her and now it had blown back in his face, because he had to walk a very long journey before he could get back to the pack house.He endured the pain throughout the walk and began thinking of how his Father and Blue, his sister, would react to what he had just done. Well, his father would most definitely have nothing to say, while Blue, his little sister, on the other hand, would be so glad. She didn't like Veroni
Pain, that was the first thing Veronica made sense of. “Ouch! My head hurts, what happened?” She asked no one in particular.She tried lifting her right hand to touch her forehead but noticed that she couldn't feel her arm.“ What's this? I can't feel my arm. Come to think of it, I can't feel my body, I can't feel anything, except for the pain in my head.” She thought to herself as different conversations kept flooding her mind.“ Did I hit my head hard on the floor when I fell?” Was I supposed to feel pain when I lost my mortal body?” She asked herself, with the lowest voice possible, making it impossible for anyone to hear her, except for the movements on her lips.She tried to open her eyes but her vision was blurry, but after a couple more blinks, she could see clearly. She noticed the white ceiling and then looked around the room. It was painted in white and yellow, with the yellow shining almost brighter than the sun and the white, as snow.“ The afterworld sure is beautiful. Ve
It had now been a week since Beck rejected Veronica and no one knew about it except her, Beck and Kiera. Kiera wanted to confront Beck about it, but Veronica begged her not to because he didn't know that she knew about it.“ Wow, what a lovely day to sleep and not wake up for a while,” Kiera said, looking up at the sky, as they passed by the children's park.“ What do you mean by that? Don't ever say that, please. If you go, who would I talk to or where would I find anyone who would listen to me complain about everything all day long?” Veronica snapped at her.“ Relax Vee, I'm not going anywhere, at least, not anytime soon, silly,” Kiera said, laughing. “It was just a harmless joke.”“A harmless joke? Really? Who jokes with something as serious as death?” Veronica snapped at her again.“Hey, chill. I never said anything about dying.” Kiera replied.“To sleep and not wake up means what?” Veronica asked her, obviously angry.
"No," Veronica screamed as she carried Kiera's lifeless body on her lap."Kiera, please don't leave me. " She muttered like a crazy woman.She sobbed, tapping her cheeks to see if a miracle could happen. Maybe she would wake up smiling at her and say it was just a prank. She could not bring herself to believe that the only person that understood her was gone.She dropped her lifeless body on the floor and stood up. She then turned to see a rogue wolf launching at her but instead of running, she didn't run because she just wanted to die alongside her best friend. As the wolf got closer, she shut her eyes, waiting for his attack."Guess this is it, Veronica. You are finally going to the afterlife, but at least, this time, you'll be seeing Kiera." She said to herselfas she waited for the wolf to launch at her, but instead of being attacked, she heard a loud thud.She opened her eyes only to see the rogue wolf on the floor groaning in pain. She saw Beck's wolf clawing the rogue wolf's bo
“You are hereby banished from The Sun Crest pack. Leave immediately!” His voice reverberated through the hallway as he spoke.“If you are found anywhere close to this pack, the worst things will befall you.” He threatened.At that moment, it seemed like Veronica could not hear properly. It was like she had suddenly gone deaf. She turned to look at Beck, hoping that he would at least plead with his father on her behalf but looking at his face, he didn't seem surprised at all. He looked indifferent.She fell to her knees in front of Beck's father, grabbing his feet.“Please Alpha. If I leave here now, I have nowhere to go. You know I have no family to call mine. Please.” She pleaded as tears rolled down her cheeks.“And how is that my business? Do you know the number of problems and havoc you have caused in this pack since you stepped in here? You have done enough damage to last us a couple of years and so, my decision is final. Leave! We do not want you anymore, you are just had news!”
After his father's judgment and decision to banish Veronica from the pack, Beck walked back to his room. He began to have flashbacks of how Veronica was pleading with him to help her beg his father to allow her stay because she had no other place to go but he turned his back on her.“Maybe I could have pleaded with my father.” He thought to himself as he sat on the edge of his bed. “I don't think it would have changed anything if I did beg him because his mind was made up.”“All she has ever brought to this pack over the years has been problems. Nothing but problems! I don't think I did anything wrong.” He shrugged, then leaned back to lay on the bed, staring intently at the white ceiling of his room.While he was still in his thoughts, the door to his room opened and someone walked in and shut the door. He felt a movement on his bed but he didn't pay attention as he was still lost in his many thoughts.“Beck? Why do you look worried? I hope it's not because of that thing? That girl?”
“Dad, I don't know what is going on. He suddenly coughed out blood, and now it seems like he is not breathing.” She panicked, her voice shaking with fear. Tears, pouring out of her eyes.“Dad, I'm in trouble. I killed him.” She screamed in terror.The guards soon rushed into the room, and were taken aback. The sight before then wasn't something they had thought they would see.“Sir, we should take him to the Pack Hospital. He might have just slipped into unconsciousness.” One of the guards said in a rush.“Yes, yes. Let's take him to the hospital. Carry him gently, please.” He ordered them, and they got to work immediately.“Please get up, ma'am.” They said to Megan, who had Steve's head on her lap.Seeing that Megan didn't move, and was still holding on to Steve, her father yelled at her. “Get up Megan!” She jerked in fear, and got up.The guards then went ahead to carry Steve gently, and headed outside the house, while Megan and her dad followed closely behind them. They soon got to
“Megan!!!” Her father screamed in shock as he ducked to avoid the shattering glass.“Megan! What the hell is this? What has gotten over you?” He yelled at her, and rushed to Steve who was holding onto his shoulder in pain, and staring at the furious Megan in disbelief.“How could he suddenly choose her over me? Why would he do such a thing to me after everything we have been through all these years. After all that we've shared. How can he choose a complete stranger over me?” She cried angrily.“Wait, what?!” Her father stared at her in utter shock. “So this whole anger and violence is because he chose someone else over you?” He couldn't believe what he had just heard his daughter say.“Oh my goodness! I thought I raised you better. I can't believe this.” He said with so much disappointment.He turned to Steve who was still writhing in pain.“Are you okay?” He asked, and immediately Steve lifted his hands off his shoulder, Megan's father’s eyes widened in shock at what he saw.Steve's
A bit surprised, he asked, “Who is the person?”“It's Master Steve, sir.” The voice replied.“Oh.” He then turned to his daughter. “I guess he is here to see you.” She shook her head in disagreement, and pulled away from her dad.“Is he here to see Megan?” Megan's dad asked the messenger.“No, sir. He specifically asked to see you sir.” The messenger answered.“Really? That's unusual.” He muttered, and looked at Megan, who looked away immediately.“Alright, tell him to wait. I'll be with him shortly.” He said to the messenger at the door, who in turn, replied, and walked away.He then turned back to his daughter, hoping to continue their previous conversation, but her expression indicated to him that she wasn't ready to say anything at that moment.Understanding her expression, he asked, “you don't want to talk now, right?” And she nodded in agreement.He sighed. “That's fine. I'll be back shortly. Let me just find out what he is here for.”He got up and left the room, while Megan cu
For hours after Megan left, Steve sat in a chair, still dumbfounded, and unable to compose himself. He couldn't wrap his head around what had just happened. He couldn't believe that the one true friend he had literally all his life was in love with him and he didn't know.“Damn! I'm such a fool. I really am.” He muttered to himself, beating himself up about it.Even though they fought and disagreed about a lot of things, a lot of times, he still really cared about Megan, and always looked out for her all the time, and she did the same too, or so he thought.He remembered all the time when they would get into trouble when they were younger, and how they would smartly figure out a way out of every mess they got themselves into.After his mother passed away and he was depressed and hurt, Megan was the one who didn't make him feel alone, because she was always there to comfort him. And that was one of the reasons why their friendship grew stronger over the years.But now, it seemed like t
“Wait, what?” Steve stood shocked and lost for words.At that moment, he didn't even understand what was going on. “What are you talking about? What is this?” He asked, looking as confused as ever.“How could you choose Veronica over me? How could you?” She yelled at him again, throwing him into further confusion.“Choose her over you?” His head snapped back in confusion, “What does that even mean?” Megan's eyes flashed in anger as she snapped at him,“Don't even try to play dumb with me, Steve. Stop the pretense!”“Look, Megan, you're not making any sense. What is all this? What are you going on about?” Megan’s eyes soon blazed with tears. “You're really choosing her over me, aren't you?” Her voice cracked, as she asked again.Steve's expression softened, unaware of the depth of Megan’s emotions, and unable to understand why she kept repeating the same words. “Megan, what is all this? You've been repeating these same exact words for the past few minutes. What exactly is the matter?
FIRE DAWN PACK THREE MONTHS LATER“Phew. I can't believe we're finally done with this community service. This has been the longest three months of my life.” Megan said, as they walked slowly to Steve's house.“I also hope my dad lets me off the hook too.” She said, thinking out loud. “I've really missed going out whenever I want, I hope he ‘ungrounds’ me.” She rolled her eyes, as she kept talking to the unattentive Steve.“Also, I’ve been so bored and miserable without my phone and my other gadgets. Ughhh” She grunted as she complained.“Anyway, thank you for making the past three months easy for me. I don't want to imagine what it would have felt like without you being there.” She continued talking, not paying attention to if Steve responded or not.“To be honest, I think I would have collapsed at some point.” She added. “You and I know that I'm not built for any menial or hard labour.” She said, examining her hands, and she then chuckled.“But Steve, do you think your dad has finall
SUN CREST PACK “How dare you, Beck!” His father yelled, barging into Beck's house. “How dare you embarrass and humiliate me like that? Have you lost your mind? Or have you lost your sense of reasoning?” He kept yelling angrily, the guards immediately left his presence, leaving him alone with Beck.“What is it, father?” Beck asked his already furious father.“Don't you even dare, Beck. Don't give me that bullshit!” He snapped at Beck.“But I don't even know what you're talking about, father. I really don't understand what is going on.” Beck replied, trying to figure out what his father was angry about.“You think I don't know what you're doing? You must think I'm a fool, right?” He scoffed, “Do you think I don’t know that you're trying to act innocent, and feign ignorance. Don't piss me off Beck!”“Dad, I promise you, I don't know what you're talking about.” He replied, hoping to calm his father down.“You liar!” His father snapped at him.“I'm being honest, father. I don't know what
“I really don't know what happened in the space of two hours, but from my observation, his vitals look completely different from what it was when I left him two hours ago.” The doctor replied, still flipping through his note pad.Scott's parents exchanged nervous glances, and turned to face the doctor once again.Beta Lily nervously held her husband's hand, her grip tightening in his. “Is that a good thing?” She asked, looking really concerned.“Yes, doctor. Is it something we should be worried about?” Her husband chipped in immediately.“Oh no. It's nothing to be worried about. What I am trying to say is that he looks much better than when I left earlier.” The doctor explained carefully.“Oh. So, he is better, right?” She asked again, to be sure of what the doctor was telling them.“Yes. He is perfectly fine.” The doctor replied, smiling. “He just needs more rest and that's all.” He added.“Then he can come home with us after that?” Veronica, who had been silent all the while, finall
“Veronica?” Beta Lily called out to her, seeing that she remained on one spot, “aren't you coming in?”Looking up from her phone, she replied,“I’m coming, ma'am.” She then slipped her phone into her bag, and hurriedly walked towards them.They soon got into Scott's room and as soon as they stepped in and he saw Veronica, he screamed her name happily.He almost jumped out of his bed but the nurses in the room at that moment were quick to hold him back.“You're not so strong yet, Scott. You need to take it easy, please.” She quickly cautioned him gently as she tucked him right back into his bed.“With the way you're screaming, one would think you've not seen Veronica in many years.” Beta Richard teased him and they all laughed.“At least someone seems to love me genuinely.” Veronica thought to herself as she made her way to Scott's side, standing by his side.“I'm glad to see that you're getting better.” The doctor commented, and Scott's parents smiled gladly.“Does that mean I can go h
