THE LAST WHITE WOLF, A WAYAN

In the world of supernaturals where wolves are shifters, merfolks can trade their tails for legs at anytime, Vampires are lurking around humans who betrayed them during their time of existence as humans just to suck their life out of them, where pixies are the most cunning, deceitful and selfish creatures and Elves are very rare and they now possess great powers to help every creature at their doorstep,be it good or bad. And where Necromancers are everywhere, conniving with the dead to create havoc.

And the keeper of the underworld, The King Of The Underworld, King Lucifer doesn't like it one bit. He doesn't like the fact that Necromancers are snatching the dead from his grip. Even the witches and wizards fear these Necromancers. And humans, like always , have no idea of the darkness lurking around them.

___________________________________________________

She could see herself running. What she was running from she had no idea. But if she knew something, It was that the situation was definitely out of her control. She also knew it was a dream. One of those visions she always had. This particular dream she has been seeing a lot. She lost count at the seventh time. But it wasn't always the same ending but whenever she woke up,she woke up with a headache and abnormal body pains. It was as if she was really running from something. She couldn't understand this dream. It always started with her running but then at the end she'd either trip and fall, making the thing caught up with her. Or she herself would stop in her tracks and attack whatever she was running from but at the end she'd realize that she actually murdered her mate. The dream could change totally. She wouldn't run but would be in a dark suffocating cell begging to be let out. This time around she knew she was just going to kill her mate all over again. But was she wrong?, Yes she was. Suddenly everything got quiet. Her feet stopped moving and she realized she wasn't been followed no more. She sniffed the air and something snapped in her. She wanted to taste blood. Her body shook. What was the cause of the sudden change in her.

"Mother?", the scared voice of a little girl spoke. "Mother are you going to kill me too?", The girl asked.

The girl was right. The mother really wanted to kill her cub, she felt the edge and wanted to stop herself. The mother's hand flew to her belly and she realized it was flat. Then it dawned on her that the little girl was the daughter she had given birth to. But the pull was greater than her. Even if she was the Alpha Queen and couldn't kill no one. Her fangs throbbed. She wanted to sink it into something. She could finally feel Vampires edge to kill. She felt inhumane,she couldn't feel any emotion as she sinked her fangs into her own cub's neck. The girl's screams filled her mind as she woke up from her dream. She held her head in her hands as she sat up. Her mate was suddenly at her side checking her for any injuries. He heard her screams. " I'm fine Blake", she assured him. "Those dreams again?", Her mate had asked. He was a man of few words. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever imagine herself as The Queen Luna. " Want to tell me about it ?", Blake asked.

She cringed at that. It was quite disturbing telling him about killing him but now the dream had changed. Blake took his mates hands in his and brought it to his lips. " You know I'd never judge you Eleanor ", he said and gave her a small smile. For everyone else it could be just a small smile but for Eleanor, Blake's smiles could make her heart do flips. His gestures just made her fall in love all over again.

She blinked away the tears that were threatening to spill . " This one was very different, she started. I didn't kill you, I killed someone else", she ended with a sob.

"That's good right?", Blake had asked. "Even worse, Eleanor replied. I killed our cub", she added.

But Blake didn't even blink an eye, neither did he flinch. He just sat next to her with his poker face. "It's just a dream " , he repeated the same words he said everytime she woke up from these dreams. And just like always she replied with a sad smile " dreams are visions love". Blake pulled Eleanor into a hug as he took in her scent to calm his wolf down. But he knew very well he needed it too. He was scared too. What was happening to his mate?, It was the very question he asked himself every single day. Now she was almost due to deliver their first cub, soon-to-be Alpha King. "I'm scared Blake", Eleanor whimpered. "I'm here with you El", Blake assured his mate. And she smiled at his pet name for her. Her hands flew to her tummy," It was a girl Blake, our very own princess",she whispered. "And I killed her, everything looked so real. I can still hear her screams",she added and cringed.

"Hey,hey, look at me", Blake said as he held her head in his hands.

" You're killing no one. It's just a dream and I don't know why you're seeing this, Blake said quietly. We're going to see your grandma tomorrow", he added.

Eleanor gasped as she took his hands from her face.

"No",she yelled. " I know what happens to you after seeing a witch,it's always like you got sick suddenly. Why don't we go see The Pack Priestess", she asked.

"She can't help us", Blake replied. "She says only a witch can explain better. And I'd rather see your grandma than go to some witch", he explained.

"Are you sure?", Eleanor asked.

"For you I'd do anything", he replied and kissed her forehead. "Let's get some sleep,we leave in the morning", Blake said and laid next to her.

They found comfort in each other's arms and sleep took over.

_________________________________________________________

The morning sunlight seeped into the Alpha King's room through the windows. His eyes fluttered open as he sat up. He hadn't had the best sleep of his life but he knew his mate did. Her little snores still filled his ears. They had to see the Ancient Mother, eldest of all the witches and Eleanor's maternal grandmother. But it could wait, it's not every day Eleanor slept this well. Ever since her dreams she didn't want to go to sleep. He got up and rushed to the bathroom to do his morning business. Today he decided to skip his workout sessions. Only the Moon Goddess knew what lied ahead of them.

Hours later Eleanor woke up to meet the other side of the bed empty.

"Guards?", She called. Like always she knew Blake would leave a total of six guards behind their door to take care of her. One guard entered with his head down.

"You called My Queen", he said.

"Ask my hand maid to come in", she told him.

He turned ready to leave.

"Is it Usher?",she asked unsure of his name and he nodded.

"Where's the Alpha?", She asked once again.

"He went to the Pack House My Queen,he said,he'd be back as soon as you wake up",Usher replied.

She nodded and waved her hand, signaling for him to leave. He bowed and left from there. Her previous bodyguard had died from a Vampire bite when he was attacked on human territory. He went there to see his human family. All these bodyguards were new but she was watching them carefully. One of them would be her man. One who'd obey her before he obeyed the King and she thought Usher was just the right person for the job. He was always with a poker face but Eleanor knew he was the best choice and he could be very loyal too. Her mind drifted off to the Vampires. They've been killing more these days. They needed to be stopped. Just then her hand maid walked in.

"Draw a bath for me Ruth", Eleanor said and Ruth simply bowed and left for the bathroom.

She knew just how to please The Queen Luna.

A little bit of her strawberry shower gel,then a little bit of cinnamon and it'd be just right.

Immediately after, she went to the room with her head down. Even if she was The Queen Luna's favorite she dared not look at her in the eye.

"I'm done Your Grace", Ruth said with her head still down.

Eleanor wanted to tell her not to avoid eye contact. Even as Queen she treated Ruth just like a friend. But today she didn't have the strength to have that talk so she simply nodded. Ruth walked to Eleanor and helped her up. Eleanor's hand flew to the little bump on her tummy as she walked to the bathroom.

"I'll be waiting outside Your Grace ",Ruth said and walked out.

____________________________________________________________

"How do you want your hair my lady?"Ruth asked. She had helped Eleanor get dressed and was helping her with her hair.

"Arrh, I thought we were passed this Ruthlyn. Just do your thing or you want me to get you replaced?", Eleanor teased. She immediately got on her knees, her face right on Eleanor's feet.

"I'm sorry My Grace, it's all my fault.

I deserve to die but please forgive me. I want to keep serving you", Ruth said in a rush.

"C'mon Ruth,I was just teasing you, I wouldn't actually do that to you. Where am I going to find someone as loyal as you. Someone who cared about me much more than my mother ever did. Someone who would give her life for me. You're like a sister, just like my sister Briada", Eleanor ended with a smile.

She realized Ruth was still kissing her feet so she helped her up.

Ruth started working on Eleanor's hair. She settled for a French braid to make Eleanor look simple.

" I'm done your Grace ", Ruth announced and bowed.

"Thank you Ruth", Eleanor acknowledged and got up.

Just then there was a knock at the door. Ruth leaves to check who's at the door.

She comes back later to tell Eleanor that the King is waiting for them to have lunch. Eleanor quickly wears her flats and walks out of the room.

As soon as she enters the dining hall her eyes met with her dear mate's. He quickly stood up and walked to her. Giving her a helping hand.

"He has always been a gentleman", Eleanor thought as Blake helped her sit next to him. He placed a napkin on her lap. He picked up the spoon and scooped some soup. Before he could bring it up to Eleanor's lips she only looked at him weirdly with a her eyebrows raised as if she was thinking about something.

"Yes Eleanor, I did ask the cook to add a lot of bell peppers to the soup,I know you like the smell, plus no cabbage, you love cabbage but our baby doesn't and she made it extra hot and spicy, just like you want it", Blake replied to Eleanor's unasked question.

"You remember?", Eleanor asked a little surprised.

" I remember everything about you mate, I remember the first day you got to know we were mates, you just run away", Blake teased.

" I was nervous Blake " ,she admitted. "Who wouldn't be after realizing she had been paired up with the scary Alpha King",She added.

"I'm not scary El", Blake said.

Eleanor nodded in agreement then replied "But the books say otherwise. When we're kids and are been thought were-history, we're told The Alpha King is the scariest of all weres, so I was really scared. I would have pissed on myself if I hadn't run away", she ended with a laugh.

"But then I chased you, and showed you that I wasn't scary and what a real mate could make you feel" , said Blake. " And look at us now already having our first pup", he added.

Eleanor only bit her bottom lip and gave a sad smile. Blake knew she was going to talk about her dreams but resisted from it. His mate has always been the shy type. After all these years she was still shy. Eleanor opened her mouth and Blake started to feed her the vegetable soup,he asked the Cook to prepare just for her.

" I can't take in anymore ", Eleanor told Blake after a while.

" Okay , but you must eat the fruits,then we can leave", Blake told Eleanor in a warning voice.

Eleanor swiped her nose up making Blake laugh.

"Stop swiping your nose up like a credit card", He teased and continued laughing making Eleanor laugh too.

He started to feed her with some fresh water melons. Eleanor also put a bite in Blake's mouth.

"You've not eaten anything, you've only been feeding me and I keep eating everything, I feel awful", Eleanor said clearly upset.

" I've eaten already ", Blake told her. "C'mon let's hurry up and leave, the old witch's cottage is quite far from here", he teased.

Eleanor slapped his arm.

"Ouch",he screeched.

"Show some respect to my grand ma,and your grand- mother-in-law", Eleanor rebuked making Blake laugh.

Eleanor ate some more fruits, the baby liked water melons. After, she drank an apple juice. Blake helped her up as they made their way to the car.

Beta Kobe was already waiting by the Car and 6 Pack warriors who were the best in tracking and fighting also accompanied them. They were traveling to the woods so they really had to be careful. Necromancers were everywhere and it is said that they love the woods just like most supernaturals. They've been using pregnant women to revive the dead. They used the souls of the unborn babies to revive dead witches and vampires. No one knew their reason but it is believed that a necromancer would never be seen in clear daylight. That's the time they experiment on their prey. Just thinking about it made Blake's blood boil.

"Are you okay love?", Eleanor asked. She had seen the change in his mood. She took his hand in hers and opened his hand which had been balled into fists.

He gave her a smile and kissed her forehead.

Blake helped her into the car and sat next to her. Beta Kobe also sat next to Blake and the car took off , followed by another car which contained the Pack warriors.

The ride to The Ancient Mother's cottage took about two and half hours. They walked for a while but couldn't find The Ancient Mother's cottage.

"It's gonna get dark soon,damn it", Blake yelled in frustration.

"Calm down Blake", Eleanor tried to cool him down.

"I can't, he yelled again. Those damn creatures, The Necromancers are gonna come out once it's dark and that'd put you at risk", he said calmly.

Eleanor's face softened. She was about to say something when the Purple Jade pendant around her neck shined a bright purple. Eleanor gasped. Not long after, a purple portal opened up and an older woman, probably in her late forties came out of the portal and it closed. Just then the Jade pendant around Eleanor's neck stopped shining.

Welcome Princess, the woman said and bowed. Eleanor was surprised .Why would a witch bow down to a wolf.

" To answer your question Princess, you're still our princess even without the witch abilities. You're still The Ancient Mother's grand-daughter ,and her favorite one too " the woman replied.

"You can read minds?", Eleanor asked.

The woman nodded.

"I'm Elphaba, The Witch Custodian Of Law, Second to the Ancient Mother", she said with a bow. " Shall we?", She asked summoning the portal and Blake nodded, taking Eleanor's hand in his and following Elphaba.

As soon as they all entered, the portal closed.

You'd think in Witch town you'd find witches in dark coloured dresses or bright red with long black cloaks but it was the direct opposite. You could actually see nobody along the way. Kids weren't playing like when Eleanor was a kid and she'd play together with her sister Briada and the other kids.

She missed her sister.

"What's wrong love?", Blake asked sensing her worry.

" I'm just worried about Bree ,she's been gone for too long and you know no where's safe these days ", she replied.

"We'll find her", Blake assured her. " I think she wanted to be alone that's why she left without our notice ", Blake added.

Eleanor nodded and said," I think you're right Blake. She was so happy when I told her I was pregnant", she added.

"Elphaba right?" Eleanor asked unsure. She didn't want to upset the witch. Witches don't like it when you mess up their names.

"Yes",she replied.

"Where is everybody? No one's around,not even the kids", Eleanor pointed out.

"You're not the only one living in fear,we all do,She replied. We were attacked some months ago. The necromancers were able to revive dead vampires and witches to attack us. We lost some lives because no one here was expecting a child", she added.

Just then Blake pulled Eleanor closer to his body in a protective stance.

"Don't worry Alpha,we have a protective barrier,the portal. The only one who can open it is the Ancient Mother and I", Elphaba assured Blake making him relax a bit.

"What is wrong with those creatures?", Eleanor said clearly upset. "Aren't they supposed to be witches too?", She asked.

" No they're not witches nor wizards, they're just practicioners of magic. We were born with magic, then learned it. Even some of my kind are evil", she completed.

"Can you smell me?", She asked Blake. He sniffed her then nodded.

"What do I smell like?", She asked again.

"Like fresh rain", he replied with his eyes wide.

" I don't smell rotten and you don't feel like gagging, correct?", She asked again and they all nodded.

"Not all witches and wizards are evil,she proceeded. The evil ones smell rotten, the rest of us smell like fresh rain. We don't smell different like you wolves", she explained.

"All wolves have different smell, correct?, She asked and once again they nodded.

The only ones that smell rotten are...

" Rouges ", Blake replied.

"Our world is in chaos, Elphaba said. And the Ancient Mother believes only you two can save us all. The Supernatural realm is in your hands", she added.

Just as Eleanor was about to ask a question, Elphaba interrupted her. "We're here", she said and ushered them in.

It wasn't a cottage like years back, it was a little brick house. Witch town had indeed changed.

"Ancient Mother", Elphaba said and bowed, then left from there.

" I've been waiting for you Eleanor", The Ancient Mother said.

"Grand ma, I need your help", Eleanor cried.

"The visions have started coming", The Ancient Mother stated and it wasn't even a question.

"How did you know?", Blake asked.

"I know everything my dear boy, past, future and the present but not all I see needs to be said",she replied.

"Ancient Mother, I ...

Blake started but was cut off.

The name's Gaia but you can call me grandma too, if you'd like that.

"Grandma,what does those visions mean?", Blake said and Eleanor's heart started beating fast. She was sure everyone could hear her heart beat.

"You're not killing anyone Eleanor, definitely not your mate or your pup", Gaia assured her. "It's a warning. A warning that the war is close and it may even involve your child and that someone you love dearly will betray you",She ended.

"What should I do then grandma?, Eleanor asked.

"Nothing", Gaia replied.

"Nothing?", Blake asked.

"Nothing",Gaia said once again.

"The situation is not in your hands,Gaia continued. The saviour, the greatest protector to have ever walked our world,lies in your womb",She continued with a smile.

"Your pup is more powerful than you think, it will have the witch abilities and still keep the wolf abilities. You just have to wait till it's ready to save us all. It's our only hope", Gaia added.

"Did my pendant call out to you?", Eleanor asked and Gaia nodded.

"It's a protective charm, it serves as a guardian,wards away evil. When your child it's born, put it around it's neck",She told them.

"One last thing,Gaia started. Watch out for your betrayer, you'd be shocked", she added.

"Who's it?, Please tell me", Eleanor pleaded.

"I can't, like I said before, not all I see needs to be said", she replied sadly. " The only person you can trust is your mate",She added and she could see Blake relax. She needed to set the young King free from his thoughts.

"It's late, let me show you to your rooms", Gaia said and gave them rooms to sleep in and bid them goodnight.

That night, Eleanor had none of those visions. She slept like a baby. It could be because now she knew the meaning of her visions. Morning came and after breakfast they were ready to leave. As Alpha King, Blake had duties to the wolves even if every Pack had an Alpha. He still needed to be around.

Eleanor had asked Gaia about the abnormal screams she heard last night. And Gaia had explained that it happened every day. It was the necromancers awakening the dead. They were so close to the witches, Eleanor thought. The world was really bad. She prayed the Moon Goddess protected them till her pup was born and ready to save them. She finally kissed her grandma goodbye. Gaia didn't leave no stone unturned and warned Blake against hurting her favorite granddaughter. Gaia asked Elphaba to take them back and left them. The walk to the portal wasn't like last time, it was quite short. No one talked. Elphaba summoned the portal and the group went through it,then it closed.

They walked to their car and continued their journey home. Eleanor was really tired so slept through the whole ride.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

WEEKS LATER

Ever since Blake and Eleanor's trip to witch town, things were better. Eleanor no longer had those visions and she could give birth any moment from now. Blake didn't go to the Pack House no more. He just worked from home. The only problem he had was that of the necromancers and the Vampires. The Vampires were killing the humans and needed to be taken care of. But how?, was the question.

They would be holding a council meeting after Eleanor gives birth and they'd take it from there.

Blake was so deep in thought that he got startled when Beta Kobe barged into his office.

"You scared the shit out of me Kobe,what is it?, Don't tell me we're under attack. Did you protect the Queen?", He asked even though he knew that wasn't the case.

"It's even worse"Kobe replied dramatically. "The Queen Luna is in labour", he said trying to catch his breath.

"Why didn't you say so", Blake said and left from there, running to the Pack hospital. As soon as the receptionist saw him,she directed him to the Special ward. He sat outside waiting, hearing his wife's screams. He suddenly got nervous. His hands were shaking.

"Calm down man, she'll be okay",Kobe assured him and sat next to him.

It seems to take forever and if it weren't for Kobe, Blake would have already break the doors.

Finally after hours and hours and hours of waiting the Doctor came out.

"Dr. Amber-Rose, how's the Queen?", Blake asked.

"She's fine", the doctor replied. "Your girl was a little stubborn in there",she added.

"Eleanor is really stubborn", Blake agreed.

"I'm not talking about Eleanor, I'm talking about the baby, it's a girl", Dr. Amber-Rose said with a laugh.

Blake started to laugh. He was so happy. " I wanted a girl ", he finally found his voice and said. "Can I go and see my girls,now?", He asked.

"Sure, the doctor agreed and left from there.

Blake walked in happier than ever. Eleanor wasn't the only one glowing. He was too. He quickly went to Eleanor's side and kissed her on the forehead.

"I'm so proud of you", he said and brought his lips to hers. He kissed her with urgent need as if he'd lost her and gotten her back. He kept sucking on her bottom lip till she pushed him away.

"What?", Blake asked.

"Your daughter is watching, it's bad for her innocent eyes", Eleanor teased.

"Yeah right", Blake replied sarcastically. "Wait and see all the nasty things she'll do when she grows up", Blake muttered and Eleanor pretended not to have heard him.

"As if you'd let her out even on a date", Eleanor thought.

"Have you thought of a name?", Blake asked.

Eleanor nodded.

"Romania", Eleanor replied with a smile.

"You remembered?",Blake stated.

"Yeah, you always said you wanted to name your daughter Romania, then your son Roman. I remember you told me that name sounded all ancient and powerful", Eleanor told Blake exactly what he told her on their first date.

"Romania it is, the first ever Female Alpha King", Blake acknowledged.

"The council meeting is in three days", he added sadly.

" They should have given you a little time, what if things get worse ", Eleanor reasoned.

"Things are getting worse Eleanor, the witches are complaining, weres are complaining, the merfolks are complaining, we've heard nothing from the Vampires, there's chaos everywhere and time is not on our side. During the council meeting you're not supposed to leave your room. If anything happens Usher will take you away from here", Blake told Eleanor with a pained expression.

"But...

Eleanor started but was interrupted with her coughing. Blake brought a glass of water to her lips and she took a sip.

"Don't talk anymore just rest, I'll have you moved to our Wing", Blake told Eleanor and without waiting for a reply left her room.

"What a stubborn head", Eleanor thought then finally closed her eyes ready for sleep to take over.

________________________________________________________________________________

Eleanor could hear whispers in her sleep. She tried to open her eyes but she was just so tired.

"There really is no time on our side Blake",Kobe whispered so as to not wake the Queen up.

They just received news that the council meeting had been rescheduled and it was tomorrow night.

"What made them decide to bring it to tomorrow night?", Blake asked the council messenger,Darwin.

"One of the Southern plains were attacked",Darwin said.

"But that's Wolf Lands",Kobe exclaimed.

"The Dawn Moon Pack led by Alpha Kry. The Alpha was bitten by a Vampire. The bite wasn't to kill him but to turn him", Darwin explained.

"And now he's gone Rogue,have they already appointed a new Alpha?",Blake asked.

"They're waiting for your order King",Darwin replied.

"Does he have an kids?", Blake asked.

"Yes, a six year old boy",Darwin replied.

"His Beta is capable, I know him",Kobe told them."He could lead the Pack till the boy is old enough to take over. A pack without an Alpha is not good",He added.

"I agree with your judgement Kobe. Do it Darwin", Blake said pointing to Darwin.

"Now at least we know what these Necromancers are in for. To make hybrids of different species. Announce to every specie that the council meeting is tomorrow.

We shouldn't invite them all but we can't move freely if we only protect the wolves. I'm not sure the Vampires will show up but it's worth trying", Blake told them and waved his hand in the air signaling for them to leave.

He went to his little girl's crib. Baby Romania, and kissed her on the forehead.

Then he went to his Queen and kissed her cheek.

"Tomorrow night",he whispered and went to his side of the bed and laid down. He prayed that night wasn't the last night he spent with his family.

The next morning Blake had to make sure everything was ready for the council meeting so he left for the Pack House quite early but not forgetting to give his girls a "good bye but I'll be home soon kiss."

The day went by quickly but Blake made it home before sunset to meet an upset mate.

"Why didn't you tell me that the council meeting had been pushed forward", Eleanor asked with an upset tone.

"I was notified last night and you were asleep and when I left this morning you were still sleeping", Blake replied.

Eleanor couldn't say anything and her lips just formed an 'o'.

"Well the meetings in about an hour, help me get ready", Blake told his mate.

"Why don't I accompany you,we can also show Romania to everyone", Eleanor voiced happily.

"No, I have a hunch we're about to have the surprise of our lives, you'll stay in the room. Usher will be outside, I know he'll protect you two with his life. I fear this is the last time we'll see each other", Blake said sadly.

" No, it's not, Eleanor cried. We're going to be fine, we'll raise Romania together", Eleanor laughed.

"I'll help you get ready, go take a shower",she added.

Blake smiled , kissed her on her cheek and went to the bathroom.

Eleanor cried, she cried for the broken family Romania might have,she cried for the chaos, she cried for her messed up life. She picked Romania up from her crib and brought her closer to her chest. She run her finger on the baby's snowy skin and it giggled. Her golden curls as bright as the morning sun.

"We have to pray for daddy", Eleanor told her daughter. She kept on staring at Romania and playing with her and just like that all her worries had disappeared.

"Show me signs that you're a miracle baby", Eleanor whispered and baby's emerald eyes grew wide. She had her father's eyes but her hair looked nothing like her mother's nor her father's. He hair made her look different and special.

The baby smiled at her mom and closed her eyes when she opened them, there were traces of silver in her emerald orbs and her hair had turned silver. Eleanor was amazed. She took the baby's hair in her hand.

"It's beautiful Ro", she said even though she knew the baby wouldn't know what she was saying. The baby giggled. "I believe in you", Eleanor mattered.

The door to the walk in closet opened so Eleanor looked up to find Blake already dressed.

"I thought you said you'd let me help you get dressed", Eleanor said grumpily.

" You were so involved with your baby girl that you forgot about me so I got dressed myself ", Blake teased.

"It's been that long since I started playing with her?, Eleanor asked.

"Yes", Blake replied.

"You can't blame me, her hair is just so beautiful", Eleanor daydreamed. "It turned silver just now", Eleanor added.

"She really has the witch abilities?", Blake asked and Eleanor nodded. "This stays between us",he added.

Eleanor only nodded.

Blake sat next to Eleanor as they both admired their little angel. He prayed this really wasn't the last moment he spent with them.

"Look at her eyes, there's silver in her eyes", Blake said amazed.

"She wants you to see it", Eleanor giggled. "Ro, show daddy your hair", Eleanor told her daughter,she believed the little girl could understand her.

"She can't understand you El", Blake teased her.

El looked at Romania and made a pout.

"She's just a day old Eleanor,it's just she ages faster due to her witch and wolf abilities. She looks weeks old", Blake told Eleanor." I believe in her ", he added. Just then the golden locks turned silver and Blake gasped.

"It's beautiful Romania",he whispered and the baby giggled.

"Your daughter is such a drama queen Blake,she actually wanted to hear you say you believed in her , I'm gonna have a rebellious daughter to take care of", Eleanor said dramatically.

"I think she takes after her mother", Blake teased.

Eleanor nudged him with her shoulder. Blake pulled her closer to him and hugged her. He prayed the three of them could be happy like this forever.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in", Eleanor said cheerily.

Kobe entered and said "sorry for the interruption My Queen,My King".

" It is time", he added, bowed and left.

"Goodbye", Blake said as he kissed Eleanor on her cheek and kissed Romania's forehead.

Eleanor held his hand as the baby slept on her left arm.

"Not goodbye,say I'll be back soon", Eleanor said with a sad smile. Even she hardly believed he'd be back soon.

She knew different species would be in the meeting and anything could happen.

Blake smiled at Eleanor.

"I'll be back soon", he assured and left. Eleanor could do nothing but wait.

____________________________________________________________

The Alpha King walked into the Hall Of Death all high and mighty. He could smell the mixture of scents in the air but none smelled foul or rotten. The Hall Of Death is the war room, for decades, it's been used for war meetings. It had rules that everyone who entered had to follow. You do not go against The Alpha King, wolf or not. One wrong move and you're dead, that's why they named it the Hall Of Death. He looked around as he sat on the throne.

"I never thought I'd be in the same room as a vampire", Blake said.

"And I never thought I'd be in the same room as a dog, King Valdemore, King Of the Vampires said with a smirk.

"My King", the main palace guard,Alfy said and bowed.

"The pixies said they didn't care whether there was a war, they'd only help if we'd trade something else for it", he added.

"Those creatures are so selfish and greedy",Kobe said in frustration.

Blake nodded for him to continue.

"The merfolks were attacked some hours back so they can't make it to the meeting",Alfy continued .

" We couldn't find the elves My King, those creatures are too rare. We'll have to work harder next time",he ended.

"Damn it, Blake exclaimed and rose from the throne.

These Necromancers are ruining our realm. And there's someone with a greater power helping them.

And I need your help. I've already talked to the witches. They're are willing to help. They've been attacked once and they won't allow it a second time", Blake yelled.

"Tell us, what to do?",King Valdemore said and Blake took his seat.

"You didn't just say that King Valdemore", One of the Vampire lords,Lord Ram said with an upset tone.

"We can't have a dog ordering us around", he yelled.

"This is no time to discuss the enmity between us. You do as I say, I'm your King and I'm not bothered. This is for all Supernaturals", King Valdemore said with rage and Lord Ram coward back in fear.

"I don't have any idea on what to do next? Any ideas, King Valdemore?", Blake asked.

"They're out to make their own specie, to destroy their aim , I believe we will have to find their leader first",King Valdemore said what he's been thinking all these days.

"I believe so too", Blake agreed.

"Where do we find their leader and how?",Lord Ram said.

"No need for that, I'm here, alive and well",a voice said with a sinister laugh making them all look straight to the entrance.

Blake was amazed with what he saw. He'd never forget this face. She was his friend,it was because of her that he met his mate.

She wore a Red gown,she looked lean too and even from afar he could tell she was tired. She tried to put on an intimidating look but Blake could see through it. She started coming closer.

"Is that you Briada?", Blake asked.

"In the flesh",she replied dramatically.

"Where were you all these months?",Kobe asked.

"With my mate",she replied and a tall man in a dark cloak entered. With just a sniff of the air Blake rose from the throne with his eyes blazing like fire.

"How dare you bring one of those before me. One of those who started all these chaos before our realm, a necromancer. Guards,seize them, I don't care if she's your Queen's only sister, I said seize her", Blake yelled.

Immediately after, the guards moved ready to capture Briada and her mate but Briada strikes them with a ball of energy.

"Believe me when I say, I Briada Knightlock started this",she said with a sinister laugh.

"Why?",was all Blake could say.

"They treat me like I deserve,a Queen,you replaced me with my good for nothing sister",Briada yelled.

"Eleanor is my mate,we can still be friends and you can meet our daughter, please just stop all of this", Blake reasoned.

"I don't want to see your stupid little brat",Briada yelled.

"You leave us no other choice then",King Valdemore said sensing the go-ahead from Blake. He used his fast speed to get closer,ready to sink his fangs into Briada's skin when she sent a bigger ball of energy towards him.

"Fine then, you want it the hard way, Briada started.

Sisters and brothers of our dark cult,it's time. I promised you the forever package,where you live as you please,do as you please,attack",she yelled and just like that the Palace of the great King Blake Green was under attack. Swords were swiped,magic in the air, fangs sinking into flesh and all you could see was blood.

____________________________________________________________

"My Queen,Usher said and bowed , apologizing for entering the Queens quarters without knocking. "We're under attack", he added.

"Who's the attacker?", Eleanor asked trying to be calm. She held Romania tight.

"Your sister,Briada,Usher replied and Eleanor blinked away the tears. We must leave now",he added, already pushing her to the door.

"Will you come with me?", Eleanor asked Ruthlyn and she nodded already following her Queen. They went through the secret tunnel. They got out safe but then they were striked with a ball of energy. Eleanor shielded her daughter from the fall.

Usher also had a cut on his forehead,then a busted lip. Ruthlyn on the other hand had lost consciousness. Usher checked her pulse then turned to Eleanor and said "she's dead."

Eleanor turned to her left and saw Briada. It really was her sister but she just looked evil and rotten. Eleanor, pretending to get up scooped a little bit of sand from the ground and threw it into her sister's eyes then turned to Usher.

"Run with your Future Alpha Queen and never come back",she yelled. But then she mouth to him, she's our last hope.

Usher didn't disobey he knew at this stage he could protect the baby by running away but if he stayed they'd all perish. So he run as fast as a wolf could.

When Briada could open her eyes,she got irritated and dragged Eleanor along with her to God knows where.

She reached the Hall Of Death and threw Eleanor to Blake. She had him on his knees.

"Now what to do with you both?",she asked with a smirk.

"Hounds",she yelled and some horrible looking dogs came to her, "bring me the baby dead or alive",she added.

Usher ran with a crying baby in his arms. The baby's blanket got soaked with his blood. From his chest wound,he didn't know how he got it , he threw away the blanket and continued running. He fell flat on the floor , shielding the baby from the impact. He crawled to a river nearby breathing heavily.

A man sat by the river. He seemed to be in distress.

"Help us",was all Usher said and the man was by their side, taking the baby from Usher's arms.

The man at the river's wolf perked up at the sight of the baby. It whimpered. The man held the baby closer to his chest. It was like he was in pain. He looked at Usher on the floor and saw a dart on his back. He wondered who the man on the floor was and why he was in such a state. He got closer,looked at the dart carefully then gasped. Usher started to spit out blood.

"Cherry",he mind linked.

"Yes Alpha",she replied.

"I need help, bring some guards",he added and closed his mind link.

The baby's big emerald eyes looked at him. He was fascinated with her eyes.

"Who are you?",he whispered.

"Her name is Romania,you must protect her", Usher managed to croak out. He was finding it hard to breathe.

"Don't talk, I'm finding help,you can't die on me. You have to protect your daughter yourself", The Alpha said and with the other hand which wasn't holding the child, he helped him sit, leaning on a tree.

"Don't lean too much on the tree,the dart is still in your body",The Alpha warned.

"She's not my daughter",Usher said and coughed more blood, ignoring the Alpha's warnings.

"She's my Queen",he added.

But before the Alpha could ask further questions,Usher's eyes had already closed.

Just then a woman arrived with ten guards following.

"Alpha",she greeted.

"Check his pulse Beta",he gave the order.

"He's alive",she replied after checking his pulse".

"Take him to the Pack hospital and also alert the Pack Priest",he commanded and left with the little bundle in his arms.

The long walk from the pack border to the pack house was the least of his troubles at the moment. All he cared and could think about was the little angel he held in his arms. She was just so beautiful and he couldn't understand why anyone would want to hurt such a pure and innocent soul.

He

h

ad to make sure this little bundle was settled in his home,then he'd go to the pack hospital to check on the injured man. Earlier, before he had met this little girl, he dreaded going home. What's home? Of course everything was home, his whole world was home. A wonderful mate, a son, a pack he'd die for but the night was one full of sadness. His mate was a wreck, he had to console her but he had to control his wolf first. Controlling his wolf, leaving his mate was a bad idea. But looking at the baby in his arms,he believed it was worth it.

"Maybe, this is the Moon Goddess' way of

blessing us with another daughter",he said to himself.

He got to the pack house and made his way to the Alpha's wing. Not even a single person was in sight. Perhaps they had all felt his sorrow through the bond and wouldn't dare show their faces to a wounded Alpha Wolf. He slowly walked to the nursery,the nursery they had prepared for their little girl. They had known all along it was a baby girl. They had prepared for it as well. But now it all had ended in tears. His mate,the pack's Luna, Gabriella had gone into labour but the baby died right after birth. He had held her as she cried. He had felt every bit of her sorrow. His heart ached, for he had lost a daughter he could pamper and his mate was in deep sorrow. All he could do was look at her go through the pain. He wished he could take it away but he couldn't. He had stayed with her till her eyes closed and she fell asleep but then he also needed to fight his inner demons. So he left to the only place he found peace and relaxation apart from his mate's arms. The Moon Lake. Myths had it that the moon shines brightly on the lake and connects with the true Alpha King whenever he reaches the age to take the throne. It also connects all Alphas to the Alpha King and it makes them feel a sense of peace. So it was no wonder he felt peace whenever he was at the lake.

He finally reached the nursery room and pushed his sad thoughts at the back of his mind. The baby slept on his left arm as he opened the door with his right hand.

He entered and pushed the door closed. But Gabriella's scent hit him in waves. The vanilla that he loved so much didn't feel pleasant no more. It made worry etch on his forehead.

"What is Gabby doing here,I thought I told her to rest. And why didn't I smell her before entering?",he asked himself.

He sighed. Perhaps he was so deep in his thoughts he hadn't even smell her.

The room was dark and the only source of light was the bright moon throwing shade in the room. He found his mate by the baby's crib,toys scattered all around her. Even in the dark room,he could tell her eyes were puffy and tired from crying. He hadn't even felt her pain,"could it be that the baby could numb their pain?",he asked himself.

He watched her as she wiped her tears with the back of her hand and started putting all the toys away in a box. It finally dawned on him,she was packing. He switched on the lights and she turned to his direction. It seems she hadn't realize his presence all this time. She watched him,then her eyes shifted to the little bundle in his arms. Then she teared up,her lips wobbling and her body shaking with sadness.

"Grey",she called.

"Gabby",he sighed and walked to her side, sitting beside her as he pulled her into his chest and kissed her hair.

She held him tight as she cried. She cried like her whole world was over. Then a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in",he commanded with his Alpha tone.

"I'm sorry to disturb you Alpha", one of the servants said and bowed. Grey knew her. She was his son's nanny. She was old enough to be in her late 30s. But being a wolf came with abilities,you stop aging at 23.

"What's it Mathilde?", Grey asked.

She pulled a young boy from behind her and said "the little Alpha wanted to see you so I brought him", she added and pushed him to walk to his dad. She bowed, closed the door and left.

He walked to his dad wiping the sleep from his eyes as he sat next to his father. His big brown eyes got even bigger as he looked at the baby in his father's arms. He pinched her cheeks and gasped as she opened her eyes.

"Pwetty",the boy whispered and giggled.

Gabriella got up and her eyes shifted to the baby. "She's beautiful", Gabriella thought. She found her sad heart at peace by just looking at the baby. She turned a questioning gaze to Grey.

"Jasper",Grey called his son. He will be three in the next few weeks.

"Go get a glass of water for mom okay",he added and the boy nodded with smiling eyes. If that was even possible. He moved to the door and realized he was still too small to reach the door knob. He turned to find his dad already up, helping his mother up.

Grey looked at his son and grinned. He walked to the door and opened it for him.

"Don't worry Jasper, you'll be big enough soon", he teased. The boy only walked out, grinning at the thought of being big like his father some day.

Grey pulled Eleanor to the lover's seat at the corner of the room and they both sat down.

"Who's baby is she?", Gabriella asked but it came out like a whisper.

"I don't know Gabby",Grey replied.

"And what do you mean by that?", Gabriella yelled, worry laced in her tone.

"Did you steal the baby?",she asked in horror.

"No, I could never do that,Grey replied. There was a man at the Moon Lake, he added. He was wounded and with this baby. He needed help so I just helped him. He's now at the Pack Hospital receiving treatment. All we have to do is wait for him to be well enough to tell us everything.

I only know her name", he ended.

"What's her name?",Gabriella asked taking the girl's little hand in hers.

"Romania",Grey said , testing the name on his lips.

The baby took one of Gabriella's fingers in her hand and brought it to her lips as she sucked on it.

"Rome", Gabriella also tested the pet name she planned on giving the little girl if she was going to take care of her.

"Can I hold her",she asked enthusiastically.

Her eagerness made Grey smiled,at least she wasn't crying like crazy now.

As soon as the girl ended up in Gabriella's arms. She inhaled the baby's scent.

"Rome",she chanted like it was a melodious tone, pleasing to her ears.

"Don't worry love, we'll know your identity soon. You have me,now and forever",she said rocking the baby back and forth.

"The room's a mess,she should sleep with us. By tomorrow the nursery will be ready and we'll move her back in here",Grey told his mate but she only nodded. She was so happy with the baby that it seems she had even forgotten all about Grey. He chuckled at that.

He got up and held his hand out for Gabriella. She ignored his hand and used both her hands to hold the baby tightly.

Grey raised his left eyebrow cockily as if asking Gabriella what's up with her.

"What?, Gabriella smirked.

I have to hold her well,I don't want her to fall", she explained.

"This is not your first time having a baby Gabriella, you're just so in love with your daughter and she's much too important for you",Grey sighed dramatically.

"When did I lose all my charm?", he asked.

Gabriella ignored Grey and just looked at the baby in her arms as she got up.

"Let's go,we have to check on our son, only God knows what's taking him so long",Grey said and opened the door as they both walked out.

He escorted Gabriella to their room and quickly went out to look for his son.

"Where on earth am I going to find a sneaky little Alpha in such a big house", he sighed. He knew his wolf abilities wouldn't even help when it came to Jasper.

"Why did I send him out in order to talk with Gabriella?,he asked himself. I should have just let him play with Romania",he giggled at that and continued his search for Jasper.

--------------------------------------------------------

He walked through the long halls and couldn't find Jasper. He tried the play room and still couldn't find the boy.

"It's too late to be outside,Grey thought. So he can't be in the garden. But this wouldn't be the last time he sneaked into the garden late at night",he added then chuckled. He walked into the garden and everything was quite. His son was definitely not in the garden. He kept on roaming, looking for his son. Then he came to the living room. Jasper wasn't there so he decided to check their room, perhaps he had returned to Gabriella and Romania. But as he walked,he stopped. He heard noises coming from the kitchen.

"Perhaps, someone is finding something to eat",Grey said to himself. Then it dawned on him. Jasper might be in the kitchen. Grey knew his boy liked eating too much, always finding ways to fill his belly. He took a sniff of the air and Jasper's scent filled the air but it was mixed with something. It wasn't blood so he relaxed but what he saw as he entered the kitchen scared him. He let out a screech,then later laughed so hard that his tummy was hurting.

"What happened to my big boy?", Grey asked in between laughs. "You look like a white haired monster",he added.

The boy gasped.

"Like the flour monster in Nanny Mathilde's stories",the boy asked with wide eyes.

Grey only laughed.

"I only wanted to make pancakes and milk for the baby", Jasper sadly said in his little voice unable to pronounce the pancakes correctly.

Grey smiled and replied" the baby's too small to eat pancakes but you tried so Romania's very happy".

A frown developed on the boy's face as he tried to understand what his father said.

"Her name is Romania, she's your sister and you have to take care of her, you're a big boy now, Grey told Jasper.

The boy kept nodding his head up and down in understanding.

Grey sat the boy on the kitchen island as he wiped the flour from his hair,face and all over his body. The kitchen was a mess. The servants sure had a lot of work to do tomorrow.

He grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and held his left hand out for Jasper to take.

The boy gave his father a weird look as he stomped his feet and walk away, taking the lead.

"What did I do wrong?, Grey asked.

"I'm a big boy now I can walk", Jasper replied nonchalantly and started climbing the stairs. Grey's body shook with laughter as he followed the little boy.

"What took you so long?", Gabriella asked as soon as Grey entered the room. But a look at Jasper and she got all the explanation she needed.

"Boys",she grumbled.

"Hey,he was only trying to prepare pancakes for his sister", Grey said with a laugh and Gabriella sighed.

Grey handed the bottle of water to Gabriella. She took the cap off and a took a sip before closing it once again.

"Let's go take a shower",she said as she dragged the little boy into the bathroom.

Jasper sucked all the time in bathroom, just saying how much he hated bathing.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💗💖💛🤍🖤🤎

Gabriella walked into the room with a fully clothed Jasper in his cute PJs.

"We're all sleeping here", Gabriella told Grey.

"Like a family should at times,Grey said with a smile. They're too young to sleep alone anyway", he added.

He brought his son and mate into his warm embrace and kissed their foreheads. They all turned their heads to look at the baby sleeping on the King sized bed. Grey smiled. Everything could be perfect and normal but he knew nothing was normal when you were born with power and wealth and bad enough as Supernaturals,tragedy and pain was always normal.

And with necromancers everywhere he feared the worst was about to come. Then surprisingly,there was a loud howl, a howl of pain. All the bones in his body cracked. He felt every bit of the pain of the wolf that howled. It held power. He was brought to his knees and even Gabriella could feel the pain. It was like a part of him was escaping from his body.

The pain was worse than his first shift. If he felt like the pain of losing his pup was grave. This was even worse. He held his chest and endured the pain. As if that wasn't enough he saw Romania's eyes open as she let out a loud wail. Her beautiful emerald eyes replaced with silver as she let out an uncontrollable cry.

"My Queen", Alfy greeted with a bow.

"I'm keeping my promise soldier",Briada said. "I'm promoting you to Gamma",she added with a smirk.

She could read the young man's face just like a book. He was so far from being a King's guard. The King's guards are always so cold and know how to take control of their emotions. Or perhaps it was because he wasn't the King's guard anymore, neither was he the Queen's guard. He was the Gamma of the whole wolf race. But Briada could still see the dissatisfaction on his face. The man was a greedy fool and she knew this. Briada knew not to trust someone who broke the master's trust by supporting the enemy. She promised him the position of Beta, second in command but gave him third in command. She couldn't let someone as greedy as him that close to her. She was just waiting for the write time to get rid of him. She just had to push him to do something he shouldn't do,or say something he shouldn't say. "How can someone be a fool and smart at the same time?", Briada had asked herself when she realized Alfy wouldn't just make a mistake. Briada only wanted the loyal ones at her side. And to her,no one would love and obey her wholeheartedly except the dead that she had revived and the necromancers that saw her for her worth and treated her as she deserved,Queen.

Alfy got down on his knees,made a bow and said " your servant Marchado Alfy accept your decree".

Briada nodded still in deep thought. She thought of how the man spoke. He chose his words too carefully and then Briada knew it wouldn't be any easy task getting rid of him. She only had two options,work harder and eliminate him or get him to be loyal to her. She didn't only see the good cause of his loyalty,she also knew he'd be useful in the future.

"Rise up",Briada told him.

"Is there anything else I can do for you",he asked.

"No,leave",Briada commanded, waving her right hand in the air,a signal for him to leave.

Alfy walked out releasing a breath even he didn't realize he was holding. The Hybrid Queen really did scare the hell out of him. It was the sole reason why he chose his words very carefully. How had he gone from betraying the Royals for this power hungry She-wolf. He hadn't even reached the door when Briada's mate barged in the throne room. You didn't have to take a sniff of the air to realize he was a necromancer. They've always had different and stronger scents since they weren't born with their abilities but practiced them. Necromancers weren't supposed to be scary. They held great power in the Supernatural race. They were respected for their kind nature, for they helped every creature at their doorstep and were nothing like the pixies.

No one knows what happened but they changed overnight and started using their powers for their own benefits and didn't care if it hurt others. By doing this,they hadn't only declared war on Supernaturals but the humans as well. Most Supernaturals believed that the Moon Goddess gave them that much power to be able to protect the humans.

It is believed that the Moon Goddess first created humans. But wanting to reward some humans for their good deeds gave them the ability to also shift into wolves,he gave others the ability to teleport,breath life into those that died an unlawful death,gave others great powers,gave others ability to shift into half fish,half man.

Alfy bowed to the Queen's mate and left from there. Only the Goddess knew how much those two freaked him out.

"Gwydion,come sit next to me,on the throne. Just like you deserve", Briada said to her mate.

It seemed the necromancer did have a name.

He walked in all his glory and joined the Queen on the throne but not without pressing a kiss to her cheeks.

"You have the throne now my black rose, what's next?", Gwydion asked immediately he sat down.

Briada smirked and said " it was much easier stealing the throne than I thought. Having this much power feels amazing."

"That doesn't answer my question love", Gwydion teased.

"I have to shake the whole Supernatural realm. I have to make sure they're scared and wouldn't dare to defy me. They should be aware that I, Briada Knightlock can, and will bring the world to it's knees when provoked", Briada said with a shine in her eyes. She'd enjoy every bit of the pain she brought with her reign.

Gwydion smiled and remarked "I wouldn't have it no other way."

Briada returned his smile.

"I also think we should plan for the coronation ceremony", Gwydion told Briada his thoughts.

Briada nodded her head in understanding. But she wasn't quite sure when the coronation had to take place.

"3 days", Gwydion replied reading her thoughts.

"Babe,you know I hate it when you get in my head", Briada yelled clearly irritated.

"Sorry,you seemed to be thinking hard, I couldn't help it", he replied.

Briada got up and held her hand out for Gwydion to take.

"Let's leave for our chambers, there's something I want to show you",Briada smirked.

"Is it a new lingerie set?", Gwydion asked with a glint in his eyes,his eyes already taking Briada's dress off her.

She smacked him on the head.

"You're not even a dog and you're so horny. Well, what I want to show you is a surprise, you'll have to wait and find out", Briada teased and chuckled.

Gwydion scoffed, clearly not liking the idea of surprises. None the less,he took his mates hand as he got up and they both walked out of the throne room. Briada's heels clicking loudly as she pulled the heavy cloak away from her feet. Even the guards wouldn't dare look at her as she passed. You wouldn't want to see the evil in her eyes.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

These few days life in the Silver Moon Pack was everything but scary. It was like you couldn't feel the war brewing. The birth of the Alpha's daughter made the Pack so happy that they wanted to live in the feeling and not worry about the chaos in their realm. They had all heard of the death of the Royals already. They had all felt it through that heartbreaking howl but no one had the balls to go to The Alpha King's Castle to find out,not even the numerous Alphas. No one knew what happened at the council meeting. The Alphas to grace the event with their presence couldn't even recall a thing,it was like their memories had been erased. And the other Supernaturals couldn't even be seen. Even though you rarely saw vampires or witches in wolf lands,they should be out to say something.

Grey couldn't help but to think of all these. But a look at Romania and his son,and he'd relax. They had already finished decorating the nursery all over again some days ago. Jasper didn't want to leave his sister's side for even a second. It was even harder to persuade him to take a bath now. Jasper would only eat when Romania eats. Grey knew his family was complete and he and his Pack had no troubles but he couldn't just ignore the fact that they were in danger if the Alpha King and Queen were indeed dead. He had felt like a part of him was gone with that heartbreaking howl, he knew the Royals were dead but refused to believe it.

Gabriella walked to her mate feeling his sour mood through the mate bond.

She rubbed his forehead with her thumbs trying to erase lines on his forehead. She kissed his forehead.

"What is this?, Old age won't suit you, thank the Goddess as wolves we stop aging. Looking at you right now,you look like my human grandpa", Gabriella said in her I'm so serious voice.

Grey laughed.

"Gabby,you don't have a human grandpa",he teased.

"So what?,she asked. What if I said all those old men in the human realm are my grandfathers",she replied.

Grey couldn't help it,he laughed so hard. His mate's sense of humor was something he couldn't really describe.

"This is how you should be,no sulking", Gabriella said with a smile. She was happy with being able to brighten up her mate's mood.

So they both moved to Romania's crib,where Jasper was playing with her. And crouched down on the knees.

Grey could only be content with his family but he prayed the man who gave Romania to him would wake up soon.

"So he's still not up?", Gabriella asked Grey, Romania holding her index finger in a firm grip and sucking on it.

He nodded.

"He was really hurt. He had been enchanted with that magic dart. I even asked the Pack Priest to heal him",Grey replied.

"It really was that serious. Only God knows what could have happened to Romania if he hadn't run into our territory", Gabriella managed to say still surprised.

"I couldn't even smell him or the baby,he might have washed away their scent",Grey voiced out his thoughts. "He didn't care about his life,he only thought of Romania", he added.

"That's normal Grey, every father would put his child first,it was his fatherly instincts kicking in", Gabriella couldn't help but to state what to her was the obvious.

"No Gabby, he's not Romania's father",Grey told her.

"What?", Gabriella yelled.

"You heard it right Gabby she's hi-

Grey's speech was cut short as a knock sounded at the door.

"Come in",Grey responded.

"Alpha,Luna",Beta Cherry greeted and bowed.

"Beta Cherry,any news?",Grey asked.

"The young man is awake",She replied.

Grey immediately got up, kissed Gabriella on the cheek and walked out the door to the nursery with Cherry following. He wanted to get everything done with. He wanted to know Romania's true identity. He wanted to know if his doctors and the Pack Priest was really able to save the poor man.

He had so many questions going through his mind. They got to the infirmary in no time.

The infirmary wasn't really buzzing with people because there was no war and wolves never really got sick. The only reason nurses and doctors were running around was because some she-wolves were in labour. Nevertheless, they all stopped and bowed, showing their neck as a form of submission wherever Grey and Cherry passed.

They finally got to the man's room. The nurse who had been feeding him some soup immediately left as the Alpha entered. Cherry was about to leave too but Grey told her to stay. Grey trusted Cherry with his life and besides she knew too much already. Only she knew that he had lost his daughter and Romania wasn't really his daughter. The guards she had brought with her to take the wounded man to the Pack Infirmary had no idea Romania wasn't really Grey's daughter. Who would doubt it with those curls that resembled Gabriella's so much.

Grey made himself comfortable in a sofa close to the man's bed.

"Who are you?",Grey asked with a little bit of his Alpha voice, since he knew the man was no threat.

The man only cleared his throat. Cherry helped him sit and brought a glass of water to his lips and watched him as he slowly sipped the water. With the whole glass chucked down, Cherry placed it on a silver tray and stood with her arms crossed. She didn't want to be caught off guard. He was still a stranger so she had to keep her eyes wide open.

"I can't say anything unless I see the little Princess",he finally spoke.

"He asked you a question,how dare you disobey your Alpha", Cherry shouted with an upset tone.

"Technically, he's not my Alpha",the man replied nonchalantly.

"He saved you,you should willingly help him by responding to his questions", Cherry reasoned,her voice softening. She'd realize the man only wanted to see the girl and it was normal for him to want to see her.

"I've called my mate, she'll be here soon with Rome",Grey told the man, hoping it would make him relax. From the way Grey had a pet name for her,Usher realized something and he prayed to the Moon Goddess for it to come true.

Not very long after, Gabriella entered with the baby in her arms. The young man stretched his arms, wanting to carry the baby in his arms. Gabriella looked at his mate and he nodded. Reluctantly,she placed the baby in the stranger's arms. He kissed the baby's forehead.

"I'm sorry princess, I almost got you killed. I wouldn't be able to show my face to your parents in my next life then", he said to the baby who couldn't even understand him. She just stared at him with her big emerald eyes.

Grey cleared his throat, bringing the man back to the question he had asked earlier.

"So who are you?", He repeated himself.

"My name's Usher Delgado, personal King's Guard for Queen Eleanor. I owe the Queen my life. I failed to protect her. I failed King Blake when I couldn't protect her against that vile witch. I couldn't fail when the Queen gave me a chance to redeem myself by entrusting the life of the little Alpha Queen in my hands. The Alpha King was attacked by his sister-in-law, Briada Knightlock, she usurped the throne. She attacked the Queen. I was only able to flee cause Queen Eleanor distracted her. I remember exactly what we learnt about the young Queen even before she was born when we went to witch town, she's destined for greatness and she'll be the one to end Briada's reign with the necromancers and save us", Usher said his left hand on his chest. He was finding it difficult to talk but he still did anyway. Grey noticed this and brought a glass of lemonade to his lips. It would reduce the pain in his chest.

"I knew the situation was serious but I never thought it was this serious",Grey said as he placed the glass on a tray and sat down pulling Gabriella with him to sit next to him.

"It's really serious,she has taken over with a necromancer as her mate, she's behind the necromancers and everything that has been happening",Usher told them.

He had told them everything but didn't want to tell them about the abilities the princess possessed. He couldn't trust them,at least not fully.

"We've adopted the girl, just don't let anyone find out she's not really our daughter and you're more than welcomed to stay in this Pack", Gabriella spoke for the first since she entered the room and handed the baby over to Usher.

Usher then took notice of her. "She's small and fragile for a Luna,but her aura is intimidating. I wouldn't get on her bad side", Usher thought.

"Why don't you want anyone to know you adopted her?",Usher said in a bitter tone. Knowing Usher as a King's guard,he couldn't just get angry so it was obvious to Grey that he was only pretending. As Alpha,it was a natural ability to be able to see through people but he answered him anyway. After all,he had nothing to hide.

"We lost our pup the day I found you", Grey started.

"She died immediately after the delivery, both my mate and I want to keep Romania as our daughter. She has Alpha blood,no one will doubt it and it's also a good strategy to keep her away from Briada. If we want Briada to think she died,then it's the only way",he ended.

Usher sighed,he already thought so too. Then he looked at Romania's left hand for the third time today. Her left hand had been balled into a fist ever since he took her from the Luna.

Because he had been staring at her hand too long, Gabriella realized it.

"Her hand has been like that ever since Grey brought her home. I tried to pry it open several times but it just wouldn't budge",she surprised him by replying to his unasked question.

"I can't read your mind or anything, you've been staring at her left hand for a long time", she clarified.

"I can see you're observant Luna, Alpha, that's a true gem you have there", Usher said feeling the wall he'd built around them, not too high anymore.

Grey only nodded and smiled.

Usher tried to open the little girl's fist. And when he finally was able to,the Jade pendant glowed a bright purple and they all gasped.

"The Queen's pendant?, Usher asked nobody in particular. "It might have pulled you to the river Alpha",Usher reasoned.

"It's a charm for protection and wards away evil, it was given to the Queen by her grandma,the Ancient Mother Of Witch Town",he explained.

"That explains why you'd go to witch town. Initially,I didn't understand", Grey said.

Usher took the necklace from Romania's hand and placed it around her neck.

"Get some rest, you'll be released tomorrow",Grey told him as he stood up, helping Gabriella up. Gabriella reached for Romania and Usher handed her over. Gabriella was Romania's mother now. He'd always protect her but now he understood everything was for the better and he'd still be with her anyway. He closed his eyes ready for sleep to take over as the group left him.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Peace was in the Upper- West plains, especially the Silver Moon Pack but you couldn't say the same for the Southern plains. It was in chaos.

Most of the wolves of the Dawn Moon Pack had rebelled against the Alpha Queen's command. She was making one of her necromancers their Alpha Female. And they'd never accept that. The problem wasn't because she was a female. The problem was because she was a necromancer. One of those disgusting creatures who caused the whole destruction of the Supernatural realm. If the bloody Queen could be more sadistic than she already was,then they feared the future of the Supernaturals.

They had rebelled and threw a challenge at her to fight them. The Queen had heard the words their foul mouths said about her.

"Alfy",She had called her third in command. "I need to deal with this situation naturally",she told herself.

"Yes mistress",he replied.

"Those stupid wolves threw me a challenge. Increase their taxes, don't give them food or provide them with water. They are not supposed to hunt or even shift. If they go against my command, kill them all, pup, She-wolf, He-wolf,all of them",she commanded.

Alfy bowed receiving the command. Not long after word was spread in the whole kingdom of the harsh ruling of the Queen. At daytime she personally tormented them and at night, she released the hybrids that she had created to hunt. If you were outside at night,you'd be turned by them too.

Grey wished he could help the Dawn Moon Pack but they were so far away from him and he was just Alpha,no match for the Bloody Queen.

In a matter of days, Briada had earned a name for herself, the bloody Queen.

Weeks of her cruelness turned to months and The Dawn Moon Pack still didn't succumb to her wishes. The whole wolf kingdom was dead silent. No one went out at night,no one wanted to get on the bad side of the Bloody Queen.

When she had finally had enough of The Dawn Moon Pack,she striked.

"Alpha",Usher called and bowed. He had been ushered into The Silver Moon Pack as a lead Pack Warrior since the old Pack Warrior had retired. This way it'd be hard for Briada to ever find him. Cause his scent had changed.

"Do you have any news?",he asked.

"The Dawn Pack was attacked by The Hybrids",he replied. I have our men looking for those who could escape, we'll try and get them in the Pack and help them settle", he assured his Alpha.

"Find Alpha Kry's son. He's only four years old",Grey told him.

"What is wrong with this bloody Queen,what does she want?",Grey yelled in distress.

"She wants to build her Pack Of Rotten Hybrids i believe Sir", Usher told him what he felt with his experience. "A whole Pack of Rotten Hybrids will make it difficult to defeat Briada",he added.

Cherry shrieked, clearly scared. Her mate pulled her into his arms trying to calm her down and the look of horror on Grey's face was enough to make anyone shit on himself. For even if one of the greatest Alphas feared this,then you probably should too.
