Ten Years Ago

Edmon's POV

"Alpha, I just received a letter from Alpha Felix Blue Moon Pack. Beta Taylor gave it to me," said Elder Smith in my pack.

He handed me a golden envelope with a blue stamp of the Blue Moon Pack.

"A coming-of-age party for Alpha Felix and Luna Yelena's daughter?" I asked Elder Smith. 

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile as I tried to remember what the letter had to do with me.

"Am I forgetting something? And how important is it that I attend this invitation?" I asked again just to be sure.

Elder Smith sighed, "Of course, Alpha, you seem to have forgotten that there was an arranged marriage between you and the daughter of the Alpha Blue Moon Pack. You will married their daughter when she came of age."

Then I remembered precisely ten years ago when I was just a fourteen-years-old teenager. My father took me to the Blue Moon Pack on the pretext of inter-pack cooperation within the same Alliance.

#Flashback ten years ago in Blue Moon House Pack

While I accompanied my father to talk to Alpha Felix, I overheard them discussing a match that would be in the pack's best interest. 

I felt a little annoyed, how could my father arrange my mate even at my age, which was far from marriage, when their agreement was that the marriage would take place when my mate and I reached adulthood?

"Dad, can I walk around this house pack?" I asked my father. 

I just make an excuse to get away from them since their conversation really bores me

Fortunately, my father immediately agreed. I then walked to a large field filled with sheep being tended by several members of the Blue Moon pack.

However, my eyes were not only focused on that, something made me unable to turned my eyes away. I saw a little girl who was probably about eight years old, and she was so beautiful and cheerful. 

The girl was running after the sheep, laughing softly. I was amazed to see her even though she was just a little girl. 

"She will be even more beautiful when she grows up. She's so lovely. What's her name? Should I approach her to get to know her?" I muttered to myself. 

I started approaching the girl, but suddenly, my father called me and said it was time to go home. 

When I looked back at the girl after looking at my father, the girl was no longer there. It's very annoying.

"Why are you seem annoyed by my call?" asked my father.

I snorted, "You just ruined the beautiful view I was looking at," I replied.

My father laughed, "This is just the Blue Moon pack's sheep farm, Edmon. How is it different from our pack's?" 

"It's not that, Dad! I saw a very pretty little girl," I replied again.

My father smiled and invited me to return to the car after we said goodbye to Alpha Felix and Luna Yelena. 

"Looks like you just saw Alpha Felix's daughter," said my father.

We were both in the car on the way home. 

"Is this the girl I will be set up with?" I asked excitedly, and my father just nodded.

I immediately felt a rush of happiness, and I couldn't wait to grow up and see this girl grow even more. I could see it in her hazel eyes, which were also very beautiful.

After recalling the memory of ten years ago, I asked Elder Smith to send a reply letter that I would attend the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Yes, Alpha! You just be pleased with this invitation," Elder Smith replied.

"Of course, Elder! I will soon marry the girl of my dreams," I told him.

If only my parents were alive, I would share this happy news with them. Where the arranged marriage they had agreed upon in the past would soon take place.

The next day, I returned to my duties in the house pack. Although I couldn't wait until the day after tomorrow to attend the Blue Moon Pack celebration, I had to be focused on my current duty first.

Suddenly, my office was visited by a Beta, a Delta, and a Warrior.

"Sorry, Alpha, we're interrupting your time! We have something important to discuss," said Beta Taylor.

I invited the three of them to sit on the sofa while I asked an Omega to bring some drinks to my room.

"I heard about our scout who was scouring the Białowieża forest area. He was attacked by a wolf pack from a mysterious pack, and two warriors who were with him were killed," said one of the warriors who was in my room.

"And how is our scout now?" I asked, trying to keep them calm so they wouldn't panic.

"Fortunately, he managed to escape with the remaining two warriors and a guard," he replied.

"Let's put it this way, please contact the scout and temporarily halt the plan to expand in the region. Let them return to this pack first for the sake of their lives. Let's strategize again on how to deal with the situation and conditions in this kind of problem," I told them.

They nodded, but Beta Taylor asked permission to speak again.

"Do you think we should stop to expand our territory? It's dangerous out there. Lately, there are a lot of wolf packs with mysterious and unpredictable movements. I even heard that they started to dare to show their true form to humans and attack them," Beta Taylor explained.

"That's right, Alpha Edmon, there's even news of them attacking humans in the city, the issue of wolf packs is currently being discussed in the city," said a Delta.

I nodded as I tried to digest the information I had just heard from them.

"Beta, Delta, we don't need to stop our plan. Instead, we should fight the mysterious herds. We need to organize a more mature strategy, if necessary, we have to defeat them to make this land safe again, and the rumors about us being dangerous to humans can be reduced," I said to them.

They agreed with my words.

"You are indeed a very clever and wise Alpha," Delta said again.

"Well, you are right, Delta! Besides being handsome, our Alpha is also authoritative and full of tactics in his mind, talking about a problem with him always ends with a solution," Beta Taylor praised me.

"Ah, you guys are praising me too much. I want to do my best for this pack, and isn't that what an Alpha should do?" I asked them, and they nodded in response.

"Our future Luna must be so lucky to have a husband like you!" said one of them.
