Chapter 5 Confronting the Traitor.

When Kyle returned home he was surprised to find his father angrily confronting him about his recent actions which had been reported by his father's men.

"Where are you coming from?".

"I just went out that's all".

His father's face contorted in rage, his expression escalated from anger to fury as he thundered at Kyle, his voice rising with grief.

"I got a report about you, who is the girl you met in the woods and what pack did she belong to?".

"Dad! I've no interest in her. I just helped her because she was attacked by some men who intended to molest her".

"So what's her name?"

"Her name is Lyra, I guess she just experienced her first transformation as a wolf; she has no control over her power".

"Sounds interesting you have to do me a favor"..

"What favor?". His eyes gazed in surprise.

"You need to bring her here I want to set my eyes on her just maybe...."...He cleared his throat with a smile.

"Dad! If that's what you're thinking, I am not interested because I have no feelings for her".

"Then we have to kill her before she kills us".

"She's an innocent young girl and what makes you think she will come after us?".

"Son!! I know what life is all about. I have done some ridiculous things. I've destroyed so many packs I don't think there is any one left and if there is anyone it should be the children's life I spared during my invasion and I believe they will one day seek revenge to avenge the death of their loved ones".

"Then I have no business in this act".

As he departed he left his father deep in thought, his mind consumed by concern and worry; meanwhile he returned to the woods his face etched with troubled expression, his eyes reflecting the weight of his father's words and the uncertainty of what lay ahead.

Why in the woods sitting and contemplating on what to do next. I snuck behind him my footsteps quiet and deliberate trying not to alert him to my presence then I gently tapped his shoulder which startled him catching him off guard.

"You again, what are you doing here Lyra?".

"I'm sorry to have scared you, I 'm just happy you're here today".

"Do you always come to this wood to relax?"

"Yes I do, especially when I am going through hard times".

"Are you going through hard times now?"

I forced a smile attempting to brush the question and steer the conversation towards more pressing matters.

"So tell me why are you here" I asked, anticipating an answer.

He sighs before giving out a reply "I just want to make a difference I just need time to figure things out I want to be a wolf in control not the wolf controlled by his pack".

"Are you trying to say you want to be an Alpha?"

"My father is an Alpha not just an Alpha but an Alpha King".

"Sound interesting wish to visit your pack"

"No I don't think this should be necessary"

"Why?".

"Aren't you afraid of danger?".

"Danger? I knew nothing about that".

"The one you experienced the previous day was what?"

"I guess that was a coincidence".

We exchange amused glances, our words dissolving into joyful laughter. In that moment I felt a deep sense of happiness wash over me knowing that he was finally open and comfortable sharing his thoughts with me. I was left speechless, my eyes locked on his radiant face with a loving smile.

"What are you looking at?".

"Nothing much, can't imagine you're finally talking to me now even when you ignore me at first"

"It doesn't matter"

"It matters a lot just to show my gratitude. Can you visit my home now? I have some special meal for you".

"That sounds nice but maybe next time".

"So teach me more about you how you make you use of your potential as a wolf"

With a warm smile he nodded his agreement to mentor me in the ways of the wolf and so I spent many hours in the woods by his side learning the secret of our kind and discovering what really mattered to me.

As I trained my power grew stronger and I gradually mastered the abilities that lay within me.

"Thank you Kyle for everything today. Can you follow me home? I can see you're tired and please don't say no".

I gaze at him with my charming eyes and smile. He couldn't resist it as he clinched to my demand.

When we returned home we were met with curious stares from everyone Wondering who the stranger was, I quickly reassured Kyle.

"Don't be afraid they are just surprised to see me with someone new".

Just then Aria emerged from her room and rushed over to embrace me warmly.

"Who do you come with? Who's he?" She mumbled beneath her breath.

"Meet my friend Kyle and Kyle meet Aria, a mother to me".

I introduced the two of them together as they shook hands exchanging warm words of welcome and introduction breaking the Ice and setting a friendly tone.

"Can we go inside and have our meal".. Aria said, leading us to her room.

The table was beautifully set with a delectable feast and the mouth watering wafted up filling our nostrils and making our waters in anticipation.

With a warm smile Aria invited us to take our seats and we settled in to savor our delicious meal.

Just as we were enjoying our food, enjoying each other's company chatting and laughing, suddenly a man burst in with a terrified expression, his face pale and his eyes wide with fear.

His heart raced as he delivered shocking information that left us all stunned and our Joyful moment shattered.

"The Rogue pack is here!". His voice echoed in fear Leaving Kyle in shock. I could see his worried face, maybe he was trying to do something stupid.

"Please No! Let's just wait and hear what they have to say". I intervened, halting his rage as he took a deep breath composing himself and calming his frazzled nerves.
