Mystery

TODAY: Age 21

Neil's POV

I was sitting in my office.

Office of an Alpha.

I was still getting used to this new situation.

Sure I always knew I would one day take over as the Alpha of our pack Blood Howlers, but I didn't think this day would come so soon.

And even less the way it came to it.

In my scenario, I had to kill my own father.

I didn't do it for the Alpha position though many thought that was the reason.

But no, I killed him because he killed my mother.

Well he was too big of a coward to do it with his own hands.

He decided to work with rogues and make a deal so they killed her instead of him.

When the truth reached my ears I knew he had to be killed, or soon our pack would be overflowing with rogues.

Now my father was dead and every single rogue that stepped in my way, ended up dead.

Suddenly a knock at my door brought me back to reality and I told the person on the other side to come in.

My Beta and second in command Ryan stepped inside my office.

He was a cheerful bastard. Always wearing his smirk and goofing around. He was tall around 180 cm and had black hair paired with green eyes and a pair of dimples that had all the she wolves throwing themselves at him.

And he took advantage of that fact as well.

But I wasn't judging.

He was loyal and we practically grew up together so that made him one of my two best friends as well.

"Hey man. Did you hear that the mysterious ruthless princess is finally opening her pack by hosting a ball? I bet she is ugly and that's the reason she kept to herself all these years."

We chuckled at his words, but we both knew better.

"You can be a real idiot sometimes. We both know that's not it. She locked up her pack sure, but she never kept to herself or she wouldn't be known as the ruthless princess now would she? Also I'd say the lock down had more to do with the attack on their pack than anything else."

He nodded his head and his face became extremely serious.

"Yeah man I know. But I still wonder what she looks like. But considering what she went through I think even the most gorgeous woman would be dead on the inside."

I had to silently agree with his words.

I've only heard stories about the Blood Moon pack and its history.

But it was a story that resembled horror movie more than anything else.

Alpha's daughter supposedly shifted for the first time that night, and a full moon shined as her wolf came forward.

But moments after her first shift, the rogues attacked, and a woman from their pack led them inside.

Almost half of their pack was slaughtered and the alpha gave his reins over to his daughter moments before he took his last breath.

Ever since that day, the daughter went on a bloody rampage against any rogue that crossed her path.

As a result, every pack feared them.

Even a few of my warriors feared the ruthless alpha princess.

Whoever met her, told stories about electric green eyes that spoke of a soulless person.

But what bugged me in the back of my mind was the fact that I was curious about this woman.

How she managed to rebuild and even surpass her father's reputation and only a few people ever met her in person.

Rxan's words once again brought me back from my thoughts.

"Any more of those weird dreams?"

I shrugged my shoulders which gave him an answer.

Those dreams never left me alone for more than a day or two.

It was always the same.

I was standing in some kind of clearing and a voice that could be heard from all sides spoke to me.

"She will be hard to love. But without your love, our world will end."

It was the same words, over and over.

Until a white wolf with electric green eyes stepped from the fog surrounding me.

Wolf's eyes were trained at me and a growl escaped it. Just when the wolf was about to pounce on me I usually woke up.

But tonight was different.

Another voice reached out to me.

Telling me the wolf's name was Lily and we would meet soon.

I told everything to Ryan and he was watching with his eyes almost falling out of his head.

"Well, I think it's now safe to say she is not from this pack."

I nodded in agreement.

Since I knew every wolf in my own pack that was a safe statement.

But it still bugged me.

Who was this mysterious she wolf that haunted my dreams?

Since I had those dreams since I got my wolf on my 15th birthday, I usually pushed them to the back of my head, but right now I have no idea why it was impossible for me to do so.

"So my dear Alpha, are we going to the ball or not?"

I focused my attention back on my best friend in front of me.

"I don't know. What's your opinion?"

He looked like he was thinking about my words, but I knew my best friend. He probably came into my office with his opinion already made.

"You know. Somehow I think it wouldn't be bad. I know everyone is curious about this mysterious princess. Also an alliance with the pack that is as strong as ours wouldn't hurt, don't you think?"

Once again he surprised me.

Sure he wanted to see the ruthless princess but was thinking about our packs gain in the same breath.

"Yeah I agree. An alliance would make us even stronger, especially since the rest of the packs fear their pack almost as much as they fear ours."

We got down to the plan of how to get what we wanted and I'd say we made a good decision to wait until the so-called ruthless princess was presented before dinner.

We didn't want to make a mistake and negotiate with the wrong person.

So now we only had to wait a few more days for the ball to take place.

"I will inform them of our arrival. We should head out the day after tomorrow, early morning. We should be there around lunch time and might just have a chance to meet her before the ball begins."

Ryan agreed and went about his beta duties.

In my opinion he was just on a hunt for a she wolf to warm his bed tonight.

But now that I was alone my mind once again drifted to my dreams.

Why was I having them?

My wolf was a big black alpha male with blue eyes, and I couldn't help but think about how good he would look standing next to the white wolf.

But I had no idea about the meaning of those dreams.

When they first started I went to the witches quarters and asked Sienna the head witch about my dreams.

She told me it was a dream that was preparing me for the future and that I shouldn't take those dreams too lightly.

Her words confused me even more.

But those witches always use such weird words.

After what the witch told me my father started showing a lot of interest in my abilities and powers as a wolf, but my mother started to hide me from him.

Those were things that were bugging me on a nearly daily basis, but there was no way I would ever get answers.

My parents were dead and Sienna disappeared the day the rogues attacked our pack and killed my mother.

We tried to look for her but we came across a note that said: " Stop looking for me Alpha. Stay hidden until you find the one that is meant for you."

I guess she was speaking about my mate, but if you ask me what that note meant, I have no idea.

Maybe once I find the white she wolf, she would have answers for me.

My wolf was starting to get restless just at the thought of her. I tried to speak to him.

"Come on Zane. Calm down."

"She is important to us, Neil. And you are just wasting precious time, sitting here and doing nothing."

He was getting worse in the past few days.

He wanted to find the white she wolf, but I had no idea where to start.

"Start at the ball, the day after tomorrow. And if we return without her I swear human I will find a way to leave you."

His words made me chuckle, he was a grumpy wolf.

But I agreed with him. I will look for her at the ball.

I just hoped I would find her.
