Chapter 1 Midnight crescent moon pack

"Happy birthday, Ali. You are such a sweet soul we are blessed to have in our pack." Meredith chimed in, the owner of the only Flower shop in Midnight Crescent moon pack.

"Thank you so much, Mary." Allison smiled. She was the generous girl of the town even though people treated her badly sometimes but she never minded. Why? Because she was not the one among them. She was the human girl in the werewolf pack.

"It's a small birthday gift from my side to you, Ali." Meredith smiled, wrapping the Jasmines into a beautiful bouquet for Allison. She grinned, thanking her.

"Any news from Mason and Elijah?" Meredith asked about her family to which Allison shook her head, sighing. She only had her father and brother in the name of a family who had gone to the big battle on the southern side to support another pack as an alliance.

"Nothing. Mason told me not to contact them for a few days. I guess they are preparing for the war in the Blue Moon pack." Allison said, thinking about her brother's words. Meredith caught the sadness in her eyes.

"Don't worry, sweety. They would be just fine. My nephew is also there. And once this war is finished, Alpha Ralph will throw the ball party for our warriors who will come back after defeating the enemies. Our warriors are the best in the all-North region." Meredith said proudly and reassuringly. It inflated Allison's spirit and she nodded before leaving the shop.

As Allison walked out, someone knocked into her, staggering her backward.

"Ali, where have you been, I was waiting for you, girl. Happy birthday." Nora jumped on her as soon as she spotted Allison walking down the street. Nora was her only sincere friend in the pack.

"Fresh flowers!" Nora commented seeing the bouquet in her hands and wiggling her brows at her. Though Allison was dressed nicely today but there was no delight in her features. She didn't want to celebrate her birthday when her family was on the edge of sacrificing their lives to fulfil their duties. Nora started rambling about how her new crush said yes to her proposal.

"Alright, it's a double celebration so let's go to celebrate it." Nora said cheekily and pulled her to the nearby cafe at the corner of the street. Nobody cared to wish her despite knowing her birthday, But they only used her for their own selfish reasons.

Yes, she was a healer, a human girl in the werewolf pack. Being a human is like black stain in the werewolf pack so they were always transferred to the other division of the mortal realm or where they served as slaves. But there are few exceptions when the Alpha decides to keep them in the pack for their extraordinary services and that's why Alpha Ralph decided to keep Allison to heal his pack members in case of injuries.

But what people didn't know was that Allison was not an ordinary healer but possessed hidden powers which she inherited from her deceased mother who was pure blood of a white witch. But she concealed her traits from others in fear of not getting used by her own pack members, especially the Alpha.

Once her grandmother told her that after turning eighteen her inherited powers will emerge. Though she already had the glimpse of them but she suppressed them.

"So tell me, you are eighteen now, how's your powers working?" Nora asked in a hushed voice not to deliver any hint to the people hanging around.

"I didn't practise anything for a few days. You know I'm worried about Dad and Mason. They didn't reply to my messages. I don't even know how they are doing?" Allison let out in distress before Nora ordered her favourite cheesecake with a cappuccino.

"Babe, today is your birthday. Don't be sad, I'm sure they will be fine." Nora replied before looking at the menu. Everyone was saying the same but Allison had a gut feeling that something big was going to happen but she didn't dare to voice it out otherwise people would criticise her badly.

"I hope they so!"Alison muttered when Nora squealed excitedly. Allison startled and followed her gaze. She sighed, rolling her eyes. Two famous bad boys from their college just entered the cafe. Sebastian and Asher who were known as playboys in the town. Nobody dares to mess with them as Sebastian was the son of Alpha and Asher was the Beta's son.

And ironically, Asher was Nora's current boyfriend who proposed to her yesterday.

"Oh my God, Ash baby." Nora couldn't hide her giddy smile seeing him. Asher winked at her before taking a seat at the corner of the table beside Sebastian who smirked at Allison but she totally ignored it.

She never liked them, even when the Alpha's son proposed to her to be his girlfriend, she politely declined knowing very well that he just wanted to get into her panties and discard her later. But after her rejection he never stopped stalking her. It should have hurt his Alpha ego but he didn't take it to heart and was determined to get her.

"Don't tell me Asher proposed to you?" Allison asked calmly seeing Nora's eyes which were continuously eye raping Asher. Nora briefly looked at her friend before turning her gaze to her boyfriend.

Allison screamed in mind knowing her answer.

"How could you mingle with that boy, Nora. He just wants your body, don't you know how they are?" Allison almost hollered. Nora smiled, waving her hand.

"Who cares?" Nora shrugged.

"By the way, I can also use him in the same way in which he is experienced. Ain't I?" She grinned, whispering under her breath while staring at Asher who blew her a kiss.

Allison gaped at her friend for her cunning personality. Obviously, she is the male version of a womanizer.

"He asked me to keep our relationship private until he says so. So….I can have fun too." Nora wriggled her brows at Allison who sighed once again being fed up with her friend's careless antics.

"Allison, did your family contact you yet?" out of blue a girl in tight-fitted jeans and a crop top approached them and asked bluntly without greeting them. Allison looked up at her, startled. She grabbed Nora's attention too.

"Who Are you?" Nora asked, disliking her for hiding the view by standing in front of them. The girl took her seat beside them.

"My name is Naomi and my mate Darius also went for that big war happening in the south region." Naomi sighed.

"I wish I could stop Darius from going there!" She murmured and suddenly tears brimmed her eyes causing both girls to look at her in uncertainty. Allison had seen her on the campus many times, she was one tough girl but they never interacted in person with each other before.

"Naomi, why would you say this?" Allison asked in apprehension though she knew she wouldn't like the response. Naomi looked at both girls in perplexity and slight irritation.

"Don't you know that they are not going to win this battle when the world's most powerful creature is going to stand against them." Her answer made the adrenaline rush through Allison's body in anxiety. She exchanged a glance with Nora and gulped before looking at Naomi again.

"Wha..what are you saying?" she asked in a low voice. Naomi was on the verge to explode now but her anger was not towards them.

"Our own pack, knowing well that the Blue Moon pack will lose, still sent its best warriors to them for the upcoming war to get killed by the hands of the most feared and dreading Creature of this world whose mere presence can paralyse you to the death. I can't believe that pack agreed to stand against Him in this war. And grab our people in this bloodbath too." Naomi growled, fisting her hands. Her anger against her own pack was visible.

Allison was on the verge of losing her senses. Her body started quivering with this new information. She thought the Blue Moon pack asked for assistance from her pack, to fight the war with some rogue pack. That's why Alpha Ralph sent the best warriors including her father and brother with the other thirty members as support to the Blue Moon pack.

She looked at Nora who was frozen on her seat. She was also shocked by this revelation.

"Who..who is He?" Allison asked with a shaking voice. Naomi turned her raging eyes to her and smiled angrily.

"How could the healer know about our world properly? You sure are as dumb as they say who don't know the 'Dark Walker'. Guess what, you won't even be getting the bodies of your family after this war ends." Naomi spat at Allison and left in rage, not before glaring at Sebastian's way.

Allison swallowed the tight lump in her throat and rubbed her shaking palms to calm herself down. She was not offended by Noami's words as she was habituated to these remarks but listening to the newly found deceit by her own pack, she was agitated. That's why she had been feeling dreadful since morning.

"Nora, What she said, Is it true? Who is this Dark walker?" Allison was on the verge of crying but Nora stared at her in trance. She looked back at Sebastian and Asher who were talking to each other.

Nora grabbed her hand and rushed her out of the cafe to her home. She shushed her on the way for not speaking anything. Once they were inside the four walls of Allison's home, Nora turned around and held her head grunting.

"Nora, you are scaring me.. Please tell me. What's happening? Has our pack really deceived us for not disclosing the full information about this battle? They kept us under the shadows and who is this creature…" Allison almost begged her friend who widened her eyes.

"No.. Don't say. Ali, nobody takes his name openly. He is the Dark walker. He is the most powerful man on this earth and can create the bloodbath in seconds around you by his bare hands only." Nora voiced out, recalling the words once her father said to her.

"Who?" Allison dared to ask. She was not ready to lose her family by that damn man's hands. Nora stared at her and uttered silently.

"LYCEON, the dark walker, the last original Lycan blood from the deadly kingdom in the whole world."
