Her spirit wolf

She is tired,

It has been seven days, seven whole days of running, to where? you would ask, but the runner doesn't even know. Stupid.

Seven days ago was her eighteenth birthday, the day that was supposed to be the best day of her life, the day she has been looking forward to since she was five.

But here she is, in the middle of nowhere, clothes torn and dirtied, hair a mess, feet bare and battered, seven days after her birthday.

Honestly she expected her mate to be reasonable and kind, not some stupid push over.

Heaving and messed up, she decided to catch her breath, her feet hurt badly and her heart feels like it was going to burst out of her chest.

She stumbled and dropped to the floor to catch her breath, her head was hot, heart pounding against her rib cage.

Blindly running her hand around her neck, she grasped the pendant of the necklace her father gave her seven days ago, even without looking she knew it was beautiful.

The necklace glowed a bright yellow, warming its way into her heart, as if to comfort her for all the pain she was feeling, for some reason she felt the presence of her mother from the necklace.

The necklace glowed red in an instant sending distress signals and she knew something was wrong, behind her a leaf crunched. She immediately got to her feet and blindly faced the direction of the sound.

" Who's there," she said trying to sound less scared. What she got as a reply was a growl, not like any other animal growl she was used to.

" No" she whispered, she knew exactly what it was, and now she could hear them,

They are everywhere.

The imposter has come!.

More leafs crunched, the snarls getting closer, and the hairs on her skin are at attention, she couldn't die now, and she #doesn't want to die now.

She has been rejected and hurt, she felt like her whole life was a waste, her entire family had been killed, and she felt like giving up but something keeps telling her to keep moving, for some reason she doesn't want to die now.#

She lifted her possibly torn gown and felt around the thigh, there she found it,

She brought out her father's special dagger and got into a fighting position,

She was blind but she wasn't weak.

Remembering all that her father taught her for situations like this, she decided to put it into practice, She was about to lunch an attack when Something caught her attention, or rather someone. She caught a whiff of pastry coming from his direction, he was approaching them and fast.

It seems the imposter hasn't taken notice of him yet but she could smell and sense him, after all he wasn't that light on his feet.

Why was he even in the forest with pastries, come to think of it he did always smell like pastries, that fool, she even smell berries from him, she almost laughed at this.

She was distracted trying to figure him out temporarily forgetting the impending danger.

One of the imposters launched at her taking advantage of her ignorance

"Watch out" a deep baritone voice screamed in panic, she blinked her gray eyes subconsciously snapping out of her trance but it was too late.

"NO!!"

Chapter one

The screams of the Luna echoed throughout the park, everyone was anxious, the maids were running here and there just trying to make themselves useful and also trying their very best to evade the nervous new father.

"Ahhhhh!!" Loud painful screams were bursting out of Luna's mouth, who said that childbirth was not painful even for a werewolf.

The alpha jumped from his seat and started pacing, he could not sit still, he was restless he felt the pain his mate was feeling and it was immense. If only he could take away some of her pain or even all of it.

He was supposed to be strong, this wasn't Luna's first child but each time the baby dies, leaving behind a broken Luna and a grieving alpha.

He hoped and prayed to the moon goddess that this child was going to stay, if not he# didn't know what he was going to do.

He stopped amid pacing when the screams suddenly stopped, the door burst open and one of the mid wives came running

" Alpha-" the Midwife did not even complete what she said before he dashed out the door carelessly shoving her out of the way. The midwife stumbled carelessly fortunately she was caught by a guard.

The midwife laughed at the alpha's behavior

He walked hastily to his room where his wife was in held, he pushed the door open to reveal his weak wife, the smell of blood immediately assaulted his nose, he saw his wife sprawled on the bed with blood between her legs, luckily she was already healing.

" Hi," he said to her as he approached her bed, she gave him a weak smile before responding.

" Hi" he held her hand softly as they stared at each other.

" Are you ok?" he asked her and she nodded slowly, she looked beside her, and on the bed was the most beautiful baby the alpha had ever seen.

With skin as white as snow, black hair with a streak of white in the front, and small soft pink lips, he did not know what the color of her eyes would be but he hoped it was the same as her mother.

" It's a girl," the Luna said with a smile, the alpha hurried to his daughter's side in excitement, and he gently carried her like she was made of glass, as soon as he touched his daughter her eyes opened up to smile at him, he was happier when he saw that her eyes were just like her mother's, if not more beautiful if he was not biased.

" She's so beautiful" he commented making his wife giggle, she was now sitting up having regained some of her strength.

" Of course she is, look at us, she's ours, ours to keep, ours to protect" she stated, he nodded still in awe of his daughter's beauty.

His tiny mouth opened in a yawn, stretching her small chubby arms out, his oval face stretching out, after yawning, she paused to smile at her daddy, the alpha was on cloud ten.

" She's strong" he commented when the baby stretched her hand to his face.

" Yes, she's here to stay" Luna said with a tired yawn, at that moment the alpha thought that the baby and mother were like twins . They both smiled at him with shimmering grey-blue eyes and dimples.

" Alright sir we have to clean her up now," a maid said interrupting their family moment the alpha was reluctant, he didn't want to give them his daughter she was just too Precious.

" Alright daddy, let them do their job" his wife scolded him earning an eye roll in return.

The happy scenes suddenly changed, he was now outside of the palace, standing helplessly by the side watching his wife struggle with the witch, his wife was at an advantage being bigger and stronger than the witch

His wife was pressing the witches head into the ground and digging her nails into the witches chest, she was taking her time in killing the witch planning on letting her suffer.

Only if she had known she would have killed hee faster

" Luna you shall die" the witch wheezed out before coughing out blood, with an angry growl the Luna ripped out the witch's heart.

The witch stretched out her hand towards the knife and it floated towards her.

It all happened in the blink of an eye in front of the alpha.

He pushed his daughter to the hands of a guard and ran towards his wife, even with his super speed the knife was already stuck to his wife's heart,

The witch smiled as the luna fell over, black veins were spreading from where the knife was to different parts of her body.

" NO!!" The alpha held his wife in his arms, he couldn't believe this, how did it all come to this, he felt like his chest was being ripped open, his wife must be feeling worse.

The witch looked him straight in the eye and said.

**Before the son rises, your wife would be no more and, you would face fear when your baby is not near, as the darkness covers the sky, the black cloud would cover your child's eye**

The witches laughter echoed in his head, mocking him

" NO, SHUT UP!!" the alpha jerked from the floor startling his daughter, she jumped, immediately picking up her knife by the bed side. He remembers that they fell asleep in the middle of a movie they were watching, or rather when he was watching and she was listening.

Humans are really creative.

" It's ok" he assured her, he saw the obvious relief on her face as she slowly put down the knife where she could easily get it.

He was proud of how vigilant his daughter is.

" Why did you scream like that" she turn to him looking directly at him. His mind went back to the witch's curse.

" Nothing dear go back to sleep" he coerced. She nodded and turns her back to him before closing her eyes.

The alpha laid on his back staring at the ceiling. That day always plagued him, the day his wife died, the day his daughter turned blind and he couldn't do anything. His dreams always starts with a happy scene, why does it feel like the witch could see him through the dream.

He looked at the side on the wall was a small picture, a picture if his wife smiling at him while holding her bulging belly, it was the last picture taken of her.

If only he had helped her that day. Or maybe if he was quicker on his feet.

The alpha sighed and turned to face his daughter. He knew no amount of grieving would bring her back, the only reason he was still alive was because of the girl sleeping soundly beside him.

If he dies who was going to take care of his precious daughter, maybe when she finds a mate he wouldn't be so worried, her eighteenth birthday is around the corner so it won't be long.

The alpha sighed before laying on his side

It won't be long before he become less important.

***********

Somewhere in the hidden part of the world, a man is seen in a red robe that covers from his head to his toes, he was standing on a platform addressing a crowd of angry-looking people in sim robes

He was looking into a crystal ball watching everything that happened with a smile on his face.

" Hah," he laughed when Luna was stabbed. With a flick of his wrist, the crystal ball disappeared.

" Nice, real nice," he said as a black cloud arise from the ground, the witch from the palace appeared with a smile, fixing her head back in place.

" It is time to give my children what they want" as his statement dropped a deafening roar echoed in the room.

" Give it to me," he said stretching his hand towards the witch, she places the bloody knife and babies hair in his hand carefully, he smiled and walked to a big boiling pot in the middle of the platform, he dropped the hair inside and used the knife to stare, the liquid in the pot which was previously green turned blood red.

" It is done, come to my children and drink, we would become indestructible, with the spirit wolf dead and her child no more we would rule" the was another deafening noise as thousands of people lined up to drink pot which seems to not decrease with the number of people drinking. The witch shifted in her feet when she heard his statement.

Immediately the first person who drank it roared, he grew twice in size, turning himself into a bull with huge horns, red fiery eyes, long sharp tails, claws as long as a pencil, and canine longer than aber tooth.

He was hideous, but he seems to enjoy the new power flowing into his blood streams, he felt indestructible.

The master smiled evilly and said

" Rise my children, the war has just began"

Chapter two.

The alpha sat by himself for hours outside thinking about that day, he could still remember that day Like it happened yesterday.

Eighteen years ago

The alpha spent the last hours with his wife, he didn't sleep he didn't eat, and he didn't even go to meet his daughter, he was devastated.

He felt useless and powerless as he held his wife in his arms on the bed. She was getting weaker every second. Her heart rate was reduced, her breaths were becoming shallow, and she could hardly open her eyes but she still had a smile.

The pale queen tightens her grip, squeezing her husband's hand gently, he in return kissed her blue lips.

" My love" The queen started in a weak voice, his luxurious white hair that used to glow was now turning mostly brown, just like her daughters.

" I do not regret anything I did in this life," she said, her husband kisses her hand, he knew this was going to be the last thing she said to him.

" I do not regret mating you, or loving you, or being here, or even risking my life for my child" his grip on her hands tightened.

" I want you to promise me something" he nodded not being able to voice any word.

" Promise me that you would always love and protect our baby"

" I promise to protect her till my last breath" he promised her.

" Don't ever make her feel less than, train her for the journey ahead because I know it's going to be rough, remind her always of our love for her, always tell her that I would always love her, give her this....."

The queen raised her shaky hands to her neck, she unclasped her necklace, it was a silver necklace with a wolf pendant, and the wolf pendant looked like it was alive.

" On her eighteenth birthday ok" she placed the necklace on his hand, and he nodded determined.

" I know you're would take care of our baby, now I can go, but I want to see her one last time" the alpha immediately signaled the guard and he left with a nod.

Minutes later the baby was brought, wrapped in pink clothes with her arms tucked in, she was asleep.

The queen took her daughter causing her to wake up, the baby smile up at her in assurance, and the queen smile weakly and kisses her head, she gave the baby to her father before resting.

" I love you," she said with difficulty, holding the baby drained all her energy, the king held his baby in his hand and looked out the window, the sun was almost and and and up, its head was already peeking from the cloud, the king at that moment hated the sun.

The queen's body shook as she started coughing, the cough started mildly at first until it grew worse, she started coughing up black blood, her breath heaving, and she couldn't breathe.

The king panicked, and the healer ran into the room ushering the king out, he left reluctantly with his baby in his arms.

Before he touched the door the coughing stopped, he turned back to his wife's bed and saw that she was not moving nor breathing either, the black veins were all over her body making her look unearthly.

The queen was dead.

The king did not have time to wail, the was a loud noise outside the palace, and a guard came running

" Alpha! We're under attack, beta Jordan, he's a traitor" the guard said heaving badly from all the running and shouting.

Everybody in the room pitied the alpha, he not only lost his wife but now his park.

"Let's go-" the alpha was cut short by his most the guard.

" No alpha, you just had your daughter, the enemies are too strong, they have already taken over with the help of the witches, you have to live remember?" The guard had always admired the alpha, he was ready to lay his life for the alpha and his daughter.

While the alpha thought of it the baby's clothes were already packed alongside some food.

" Alpha, you have to go, live for not just yourself but for your daughter" the guard pleaded, the alpha looked at the others, and everyone including the leader nodded in agreement.

" We know you would come back for us no matter how long it takes we would wait" the guard picked up the bag and held the king, carefully dragging him towards his study.

" Wait use my wife's -"

" Yes her special bag yes" a small bag was handed to the king, it was a bag given to the queen's grandmother, no matter what you put in the bag it would never be full, you could neither see nor touch the bottom of the bag.

The king carefully placed his wife's necklace inside the bag before taking it. In the study was a large shelf, the shelf was pushed aside revealing a door.

" come with me" the alpha said to the guard.

" No alpha I have to"

" It's an order, please," the alpha said. The guard nodded determined. The king places his daughter in the hands of a maid close by and started running around his study gathering all his valuable,

He hid all important files in a volt only the alpha and Luna knew how to open, he took all the money and with the help of the maid poured the money into the bag, he put some in another volt and showed the maid the code, the money was for the people that helped him escape.

When he was done the guard came with his belongings in a big bag.

" Let's go alpha there almost inside the house," the guard said, the alpha nodded, took his baby from the maid and they both left, without looking back.

*************

" Where is the baby!" Jordan shouted angrily at the shaking maids.

" We don't know, the alpha and the baby are already gone" one of the maids replied bravely, she wasn't scared of death, the alpha had been good to her, and this was her chance to repay him.

" This wouldn't have happened if you imbecile would do your job well" he screamed at everyone, all the maids scurried back in fear.

He took in a deep breath when he felt his blood rising, and relaxed back on his chair, thinking.

" Master Jordan, we searched the whole house, but no sign of the alpha, the others have already gone to search the perimeter, we would find him" Jordan relaxed his back in the chair and tapped his unusually long fingernails on the chair.

" Where is Fred"

" Gone master" a large smile crept into Jordan's face.

" Good"

" Sire!" A man shouted running into the throne room, his face was pale and sweaty Like he had seen a ghost, his legs were shaking badly,

" What is it?" Jordan asked in irritation, the mans leg gave up, he crumbled to his knees in fear for what the master would do.

" It's gone-"

" WHAT!" ......
