The night stood still and bloodied with cold darkness in the Blackmoon pack, on the day the son of the Alpha was to be born.
Waiting patiently in his meeting hall with the seven alphas of different packs.
"You can't let that child live" Alpha Jack said with a repititive force,
"Do you want him to kill his own son without knowing anything about him" Alpha Zid reverted.
"But the prophecy is not something to be dealt with, you heard the witch, she said that the boy will kill his father and mate with his mother, that is a cruel abomination" Alpha Jack said again.
He was against letting the boy live, the Blackmoon pack was the strongest pack of the seven realms of the West, Alpha Ethan ruled it with a ruthless power causing dominance and submission from the various packs.
"What if the witch was lying" Alpha Crood said raising some intuition.
He still saw some hope at the end of the tunnel.
"Has Helen ever lied" Alpha Jack replied.
Alpha Ethan sat quietly watching them but his mind had diverted from them, he couldn't let his son mate with his own mother, that was something he would never allow. This was a punishment from the moon goodness because of his sins but wasn't she too cruel with her punishment.
"I say we kill the child before this issue escalates much further" Alpha Luther lashed out.
"The Luna forbids it" Alpha Zid sneered,
"And what can the Luna do about this matter, if she going to watch her Alpha die and also mate with her son" Alpha Jack jumped banging the table in anger.
"Alpha, what do you say" Alpha Zid asked waking him from his reverie.
"I need to think, you are all dismissed" Alpha Ethan ordered.
His mind was in a mess and he couldn't take it anymore with these Alpha's arguing like they really cared about him, if they were given a chance, they would immediately betray him.
"Kill the child" were the last words his special adviser gave to him before he dismissed him.
He thought long and hard, there was no need for him to keep his child, he hadn't known him yet, killing him while he was still a baby was the best choice for him.
Then he recalled his Luna begging to spare her son's life, she was the only good thing that had ever happened to him and he had to do everything to make her happy.
The cries of a baby could be heard from the Pack's hospital, Ariana held unto her baby unwilling to let him go, she knew the cruel fate that awaits him when she lets him out of her sight.
"Luna, the Alpha is here to see you" Bridgette the Pack's nurse said.
Walking in, Alpha Ethan's dark and cold gaze fell on his son, there was a striking resemblance between him and the boy.
"Isn't he beautiful" Ariana said looking cutely at him.
"He is" he confirmed.
"I want to name him Axel" She brought his hands to touch the boy but he resisted.
Alpha Ethan didn't wish to go back on his words, he had decided to kill the boy.
"You have come to a decision, you want to kill my son" she understood his actions clearly.
She had hoped that he would change his mind when he sees his son.
"It's for the best" he sulked.
"No, I will not let you, you can't take my son away from me" she yelled shifting away from him.
"We can have another one" he uttered,
"No" She screamed, the pack members within the hospital could feel her pain.
She was their Luna and the bond was tremendous.
"Don't make this any more painful than it is. Let's do this now that we barely know him" Alpha Ethan said.
"Barely know him, ofcourse I know him, he is my son. And I will not let you harm him" She raised her voice in a commandeering tone but Alpha Ethan never submitted.
His eyes became dark with rage and he cursed within him.
Ariana held her baby with tears in her eyes, he was her only hope, her husband was already a monster before she found out that he was her mate, if he decided to kill his own son, it wasn't a new thing to him since he had killed his own father in cold blood.
"Ariana" he called, his voice laced with fear, what he was about to do was hurtful to him also, he wanted so much to have a heir but when he finally did, he had to kill him.
"Give the child to me" he ordered,
"No" she rebuked, her hands tenderly holding unto the baby in her arms.
"Do you want me your mate to die" he asked hoping she could change her mind, if he let his son live then one day he was going to kill him.
Ariana was dumbfounded, she didn't know what to answer, she had never thought about it that way, all she cared about was for her son to be alive.
"No" she answered, she loved him so much.
"Do you want your son to mate with you" he asked again.
Ariana was stunned, "It may not happen"
she stuttered.
"Are you trying to be naive, since when has the prophecy never been true" he sternly uttered letting his hands curl up on her back.
"This is for the better, it's for both of us" he stretched his hand to receive his son.
Ariana stared at him with pleading eyes, she was still unwilling to give Axel to him.
"Guards" Alpha Ethan called unable to reason with her anymore.
"No" she struggled, "Give me back my child"
Ethan gave the child to his Gamma Nixon.
He held Ariana still to stop her from shouting and screaming,
"I am sorry but I have to save myself" he whispered into her ears, her tears dropped on his shoulders and he could feel her pain.
Taking Axel to the border wrapped in nothing but a small coat, Nixon kept him on the snow surrounded by three guards.
"Behead him" Nixon ordered a guard,
"But Gamma, he is the Alpha's son" The guard replied.
"You think I don't know that" Nixon let out a harsh tone.
"I am sorry Gamma"
The guard raised his hand but was suddenly blinded by a bright light, unable to see anything, they stood still waiting for the light to fade which it did but Axel was no where to be found.
"Find him" Nixon roared, his tone laced with panic and fear, the Alpha was going to kill him if he found out that his son was missing.
The three guards returned back with a futile search, inorder not to let the news slip out, he killed them and returned back to the pack house.
***
Sitting in his study with his face greased with sweat, Alpha Ethan waited for news of his Gamma's return.
"Come in" he said when he heard a knock .
"Alpha, it is done" Nixon said standing close to the door, he hid his shaking hands from him.
"Why do you wreak of fear" Alpha Ethan could smell his anxiety.
"I am preparing a surprise for my mate" he smoothly lied diverting Ethan's attention.
"Do you think I did wrong"
"No Alpha, it was either the child or you, it would be shameful to die by the hands of your son" Nixon commented.
Alpha Ethan slouched back on his seat with a dark gaze. Ariana had locked herself up and refused talking to him, she even block the mind-link.
She hated him so much for taking her son away from him even after she had pleaded greatly with him.
Dressed in a black cloak, Hazel an average lady known to be a powerful sorcerer walked through the cold night with little Axel in her arms.
Entering into a beautiful house which looked oddly different from the rest of the witches houses around, she placed Axel in a cradle.
Taking off her cloak, she picked him but was hit with a disgusting smell.
"I saved your life and this is how you be thank me" she wiped his buttocks clean off his poop,
"Such a cute little boy and they immediately thought of ending his life" she said staring at him as he smiled at her.
Hazel visited her sister in the Blackmoon pack when she heard of the prophecy and the said death of the Alpha's heir, she couldn't let such a thing happen, her conscience disturbed her greatly, taking her cloak, she made an invisible spell and took him away from the guards distracting them with a bright light.
"I will get you cleaned up in a second" she chanted her magic and he was fully dressed.
"The prophecy may be true but you do not have to suffer for what isn't your fault" she whispered.
From the next house, the cries of another baby echoed, she peeped through the window and found a cute little babygirl with green eyes holding a wizard's hand.
"She looks beautiful" she could hear the man say.
"Atleast, they have a happy family. Don't worry Axel, I will take proper care of you" she made him giggle as she played with him.
Being a stranger in the witches world, it wouldn't be long for them to notice that they had a wolf amongst them, she made a cloaking spell to hide her house from them making it look as if it was deserted to avoid interference.
Five years later, Axel had grown into a handsome young boy, he looked out the window watching other kids play with their magic and wondered why he had none.He was always locked up in the house and even when he waved at other kids, they couldn't see him. All they could see was an old deserted house.
"Hazel" he pulled his seat in front of her,
"Yes my pumpkin" she answered with a loveable smile.
"Why can't I play with other kids" he asked concerned, he was eager to join them.
"You are not yet ready" Hazel knew that those kids weren't ordinary kids and they were actual witches, she couldn't let them figure out who he was when she hadn't taught him to protect himself against them.
"When will I be ready" he asked,
"When you are fifteen" she said squeezing his cheeks.
"Why fifteen?"
"Because that is a special age for you my dear" she said.
Fifteen was mostly the age that boys earned their wolves while girls were eighteen.
Sitting back by the window, a young girl with green eyes waved at him, he was skeptic if she was waving at him,
He pointed at himself to verify and she nodded, he waved back and she smiled.
"Who are you waving at" Sean asked Claire who was smiling widely.
"At the boy up there" Claire answered,
"What boy" Sean couldn't see Axel.
"There" she pointed but Sean still couldn't see anything.
"You are hallucinating" he smacked her head and walked away.
Claire was curious why only her could see the boy and Sean couldn't.
She waved again to be sure that she wasn't dreaming and he waved back.
"Strange" she shaked her head.
Axel was very happy that he had made a friend, he slept joyfully that night hoping to see her again.
Ten years later, on Axel birthday, he woke up with a bright spirit to prepare breakfast.
Hazel held a cake in her hands and sang to him, "You realize that I will be eating your magic because you didn't make this" he bluntly said,
"I don't know how to bake cakes, I am terrible at it" Hazel expressed her frustration.
"Now do me a favour and blow out the candles" Axel did as she said.
"What's your wish" she asked.
"To be free" he gave her cute puppy eyes hoping that she could grant his request.
"Your request is granted" She unraveled her cloaking spell and the house became visible.
Watching the once deserted house turn into a clean and well painted house, the young witches practicing outside marveled.
A handsome young boy with a perfect jaw line, brown eyes, pink lips and an indifferent face stepped out the house.
Axel watched the other kids without giving the slightest hint of expression, he began strolling to explore the strange place that he was when a fire ball was thrown at his feet.
"Who are you" Sean cockily said standing close to the girl with green eyes and a beautiful face, their eyes met for a second but he retracted his gaze.
Ignoring them, he walked away to continue exploring, nothing seemed quite interesting to him apart from that cloudy wall seperating them from the forest.
"We call it the Invisible wall" A soft still voice spoke.
Axel didn't bother to look at her at first.
"My name is Claire" she stretched her hand for an handshake and he looked at her.
"Axel" He reciprocated, he felt a spark erupting from his body as he touched her, he immediately retracted his hand.
"Hi Axel" A voice said in his head.
Axel almost freaked out, he turned around but didn't see anyone else except her,
"Don't freak out, I am your wolf" Luther said,
"You are my what!" Axel gritted his teeth,
"What did you say" Claire asked,
"Nothing" he replied,
"There is a lake around, excuse yourself and we can talk properly" Luther said,
"Could you excuse me" Axel requested and abruptly left.
"Okay, show yourself" Axel said finally getting to the lake.
"I am inside you" Luther replied,
"How is that possible" he almost screamed,
"Okay, close your eyes, you might feel some pain but don't panic" Luther advised.
"Okay" After series of bone cracking a black big wolf stood tall looking at it's reflecting by the lake.
"Holy shit, What is that" Axel panicked.
"That's me, I mean us. This is your wolf form but there is something worse" Luther added.
"What is that" Axel asked,
"When we get mad, we turn into something more hideous" Luther stressed,
"Like what" He asked again,
"Like a Lycan" Luther grumbled.
"Okay, this is a lot, how do I change back"
"Just imagine yourself in your human form and you will change" Luther said,
"Sweet" Axel returned back to his human form.
"There are so many things that I am excited about" Luther jumped happily wagging his tail.
"Like what again"
"When we turn 18, we will find out mate" Luther informed,
"Mate, what is that"
Axel asked oblivious,
"Someone we are meant to be with" Luther explained,
"Soulmate" Axel suggested,
"You can call it like that" Luther agreed,
"I am not really excited about that" Axel returned back home.
Taking small and steady steps to the house.

At the Blackmoon pack, a pack of rogues attacked which caused an alarm, women and children were taken to the Pack's safe house except the female warriors who stood out to fight.
A black and huge wolf erupted in the air and barged into the battlefield tearing and breaking a few rogues necks, there was blood everywhere but it didn't seem to faze the black wolf, he plunged into three wolves taking a huge chunk of flesh from their necks and leaving their bodies lifeless on the floor.
With his presence, his pack warriors became stronger, Beta Aiden wasn't left out as he took out two rogues at a blow.
There wasn't much rogues who were remaining and they sought for a way to escape.
Furiously, Ethan chased them into the woods until he cornered them alone, he immediately changed into a creature more terrifying, standing tall on his feet was a black Lycan.
He grabbed two rogues and snapped their necks with quick motions leaving four whimpering in fear.
He didn't show mercy as he killed them all, transforming back into a wolf he raced to the pack only to be met with the sudden news of Ariana's disappearance.
"Alpha, the Luna is missing" Beta Aiden said through the mind-link.
"Did you see which way she went" Ethan asked.
"The woods" he answered.
Ethan let out a loud and menacing growl and Ariana could hear it from where she was hiding in the woods.
She had used the attack of the rogues to her advantage to run away from him, hearing him growl meant that he knew she was missing, it wouldn't take a matter of time before he found her.
She ran in her wolf form, but because she was a white wolf in the still cold darkness, she was easy to be spotted.
Ethan used his sense of smell to track her and knew that she wasn't that far from him, he took slow and unnoticeable steps to crawl up to her and Ariana didn't notice it because her mind was occupied by her freedom until he was a few metres away before she could pick up his scent.
She sprinted to run away but he leaped in front of her and growled demanding her submission. She curled her neck around his and he licked her ears.
"Change back" he resonated through the mind-link"
She obeyed him and changed back, his eyes were red and dreadful but she didn't show any sign of regret, she really wanted to get away from him.
"Where are you going to" he vaguely asked,
"Away from you" she began walking away creating a forcefield to block him but he passed with ease right through it.
"You are a monster, you killed my son" She confessed, her tone was full of hate and malice.
"Ariana please" he went on his knees, she was his mate and the only woman he had ever loved, when she came into his life, she changed him from being the monster demon he once was into a thoughtful yet commandeering man.
He couldn't leave without her,
"Are you going to leave me just like that, it has been fifteen years and I have suffered for my actions" he stared at his cute little mate, she was his only weakness, he had never succumbed to any other woman in his life except her.
"Yes, I will leave you" She barked at him releasing a soft growl. She was angry and so was her wolf.
He had killed their little pup without giving her a chance to know him.
Though it was a long time ago, she still felt the pain.
"Please, I am sorry. I can't live without you" he begged with a subtle voice.
"You should have thought of that before you killed my son" she yelled.
"I beg you Ariana please, I would turn back into a demon if you left me" he never liked that aspect of his life even though it brought him so much power,
She paused for a second looking at the sincerity in his eyes, she had no plans of where she wanted to go, all she knew was that she wanted to get away from him.
Hence seeing that he had repented of his sins, she felt sorry for him, she knew how drastic his life would turn if she left him.
"I will return with you, but if anything of such ever happens again, I will leave you.
I am only doing this because I can't bring back to life my dead son" She uttered warning him.
He grabbed her by the hand and pulled her to him, their bodies were completely warm in each other's embrace, they were to return to the pack house but they were both naked.
Communicating through the mind-link, Ethan ordered Nixon to bring them a set of clothes which he did.
Returning back, some of the warriors were injured and a few were dead, Ariana used her abilities to heal some of their wounds with her gift of healing and those she couldn't heal, she took some of their pain untill they could be treated properly.
Carrying her to his bedroom, Ethan took a cold shower allowing the numbness of the water drain down his body and cool his mind.
It had been almost a year since they were attacked by rogues and he had let out his Lycan form.
Returning back with a towel strapped around his waist, Ariana was already sleeping peacefully, he put on his pants and joined her.
He noticed something odd, she had removed the pillows she usually kept for fifteen years to seperate them and prevent him from touching her.
He turned to her and met her eyes open staring wildly at him, His body got heated up as he began burning with desire.
He stretched his hand to touch her face and she leaned on it, receiving her approval, he moved closer to her anticipating each movement until there was no distance between them.
He kissed her soft lips and and a moan escaped her lips, feeling fully accepted he unbuttoned her shirt and she climbed him. His eyes turned red again but this time was for lust.
Grasping her succulent boobs, he sucked each one at a time and she wriggled her body in a sensual position on him, eager for his cock she unbuckled his belt and felt it hard underneath her.
He used his fingers to rub her clit wet until he was able to dive in. He slid into her and she closed her eyes moaning from the pleasure.
It had been so long since they had sex and they were so eager to have each other.
Taking slow and steady strokes, he lifted her body up constantly and her eyes switched to green due to the heat between them.
Changing their position, he thrust into her with a much faster pace and his balls slapped unto her ass, Moaning his name constantly, he was driven into a state of frenzy and couldn't think straight anymore, her claws dug deep into his skin and he moaned from the desire, he was reaching his climax but he wanted more, he wasn't satisfied and neither was she, they went at it again for three rounds until she was finally exhausted.
He sighed and slept with her in his arms, he had almost forgotten how sweet she tasted.
