Inside, Jake was a tense, infuriated wreck. He got Sam's phone call while he was having his breakfast. Few wolves from the Moon Rock pack were spotted on the freeway. They were technically not on the lack territory, but Jake asked him to keep an eye on them.
Half an hour later, a frantic Rebecca had arrived crying that she couldn't find Destiny anywhere. He knew what might have happened. She had probably run away and was now at the risk of getting caught by her dad. The stupid girl had walked right into a trap. He had sent a search party, squashing the urge to go looking for her himself. Sam was already suspicious. He signed with relief when Sam called him and said he had found Destiny wandering on the freeway, miles from the pack territories.
Now he was looking at his dishevelled mate.....no a girl. While his wolf was in pain physically, mentally, and emotionally. He had never seen such fear on anyone's face before, and never that severe on the face of even his
The gym was vast. A wooden walkway split the building in half, leading to a set of bleachers in the far end. On either side of the walkway were 9 fencing strips, painted in silver and red. Some strips had a few fencers already fencing on them, the rest were empty.Destiny was standing in a line along with a few other wolves. She was going to show her skills, which would determine her rank in the pack. Fencing was one of the first steps. She recalled her lessons and repeated them in her mind like a mantra.Advance… Retreat...... Retreat...... Advance….beat.... .... Advance....... Double disengage..... Balestra......disengage….lunge.Her opponent accepted the touch, and she walked back to her line. Most of her wounds from the previous day had faded. Though a couple of persistent bruises were making her trial more painful than usual. She took her en grade. With every beat and parry, she imagined that she was lashing him.Stupid m
Destiny was suddenly alert, every pack had different laws and did things differently. So she needed to know how things were done at the White claw. She was older than most of the other juveniles going through the trial. “Usually, our young wolves show their prowess, by sparring with one of our Thetas. Did anyone explain the ranking system in our pack?”Destiny shook her head.“No, but I assume it's very different from mine.”“Yes, most packs have Alpha, Betas, and omegas. Our pack has extra rank. We are among the largest packs in the East. I wanted to give additional support, I decided to give more opportunities to my wolves. So that they could prove themselves and put their talents to use for the pack. There is of course an Alpha, me, and my mate, which will be Eliza.”Lisa tried not to wince at those words.“Then I have a line of in command Betas. Sa
"Sit down, my friend. You know you are turning into my favourite patient." Dr Connery joked as he settled down to check Destiny's foot.She gave an embarrassed smile." I don't do these things intentionally.""Maybe you are just accident-prone," he laughed again. "Did you break your ankle in the last two days?""Yeah, I fell over a tree root while running," Destiny said without giving many details.Jake smirked and shook his head."Ah! I see, it's healed but hasn't joined properly. I suggest you apply this salve and rest until tonight. You would be as good as new for the trials tonight.""Thanks, doctor," Destiny said, folding down her yoga pants."So it's all good now ?" Jake's voice boomed. He had been quiet until now observing their interaction."Yeah, all good my Alpha. Just that the young lady seems to be more accident-prone than others." Dr Connery chuckled.
Destiny had a slight gash on one side. she was tiring quickly, she attacked the final wolf and took him down. she was exhausted, but satisfied. when she had started, it had been a little nerve-racking, but it truly was a test of skill. none of the wolves tried to seriously harm her, it was a good fight. she stretched her limbs, her back was stiff, and her left leg hurt slightly from the wound, but it was nothing serious.The circle had grown quiet as if all the wolves were holding their breath. She looked at the alpha, he looked tense, her grandmother was at his side, and she could sense her happiness and pride. “Now for the last challenge, the hunting challenge. serra will lead the women and sam will lead the men.” jake announced. darting between trees, destiny was elated. her senses were rolling with the smells of the forest. the women of the pack were hunting. the wolves moved with a purpose towards their usual hunting ground
Rebecca had been mixing the batter for her famous walnut cake when the doorbell rang, she ran towards the door expecting a jubilant Destiny instead, it was the Alpha. “Oh! Alpha Jake, you should have called me.” “I actually would like to talk to you regarding Destiny.” He moved is when Rebecca gestured him to enter. “What about Destiny? Is she in trouble again ?” Rebecca asked, perplexed. “Oh no, nothing like that, Destiny is doing fine.” Jake sat down on one of the plush orange couches. “Rebecca, you didn't fully convey her abilities. Destiny is very skilled, far beyond a beta. I'll fucking say she made child's play out of that theta and Ronin may be a recently appointed Beta, but he had some of the best skills I had ever seen up to tonight. She kicked his ass.” Rebecca sighed and took a deep breath. “My daughter Grace was one of the finest fighters of the pack. That wa
Destiny was tailing Kelly and learning about her new duty. After being made a beta, she was allowed to work in one of the pack owned businesses. She had jumped on the opportunity when Kelly offered her to help out in the restaurant run by her family.Kelly's parents ran a fine dining restaurant which was quite popular, she liked the place immediately.Kelly was sweet and patient with Destiny and had taught her how to take orders without mixing them up. Overall, the past couple of days were great. She felt welcomed and useful. Destiny had just refilled the water bottles when there was a sudden commotion. She looked in that direction and was suddenly grabbed by Kelly.“Alpha Jake and his fiancée just came in for dinner. Just dump everything and serve him,” Kelly whispered.“Me?” Destiny squeaked.“Yes you, we are short-staffed, and he is the Alpha. We can't keep him waiting after all.”
"Jerry I am going to check on Naika, you stay here ok?" Jake said to his little brother."Take me with you, I am scared," Jerry replied, shivering. "I will be back soon, looks like dad's episode has subsided for now," Jake said encouragingly to his brother. He climbed back onto the terrace only to see two figures running towards the forest."Naika !" Jake howled as he chased after his father through the forest. He could hear his angry growl echoing across the valley and it made him cry in terror. His sister had lured their tormentor out of the house because tonight he had seemed worse than before.With chilling clarity, his fifteen-year-old brain had realized that his sister would not make it. She would be caught in the monster's clutches and he would never see her again.Chasing after them down the stairs he jumped several steps at a time to reach the ground floor faster. He sprinted out without a moment's hesita
“Jake's father, Alpha Alex, was my good friend. That was before he was gripped by his mental illness. I am not from this pack, you see. I belong to Rockdale pack, my brother is the Alpha.”Destiny was surprised, “so you are an.....?”“Yes I am an Alpha, but I was never interested in being a leader. I like being a doctor.” He smiled.“Now coming back to our story, There is a mental illness that sometimes affects our kind. Something like Schizophrenia. Wolves call it moon sickness, as it manifests during the full moon. It's very rare, but it happens, there are barely four or five cases in the the the last 100 years. Usually, such cases are taken care of by the pack. The sick wares are either locked up during their crazy phase or occasionally they can be killed in case it's out of control. There has never been a case in all of our recorded history of an alpha getting it. That's why people refused to
