Reagan’s POV
“What are you doing? I don't like that flower, cut some rose flowers and put it there.”“And you, have you found someone to repaint the house?”Anika will be here very soon. I already received a letter from Limores when they left, and they should be here anytime from now.“Amoux, do you have wolves waiting at the border to tell us when she arrived?” I asked Beta who was also helping in the redecoration of the house.So many pack members were also helping, they were happy they would finally have a Luna. Even the pups were very excited.But it was the old wolves who knew how long we’ve suffered over 400 years without a Luna that was more happier. She gave everyone a special tonic that elevates their energy to work as any tonic from her is a blessing.When I got back yesterday, I hunted for the biggest animals I could find and asked the maids to share it among all my pack members' wolves and if it's not enough, I will hunt for more.I want everybody to be happy because I'm also happy.I knew that they would be wondering about the sudden change in me but I wasn’t worried.I was just surprised at their eagerness to go with me and meet Anika at the border and bring her to the pack.I can’t wait to see her, make love to her, and mark her, then proudly show her off as my Luna.We giving final touches to the preparations when I saw a lone wolf limping with three other wolves.I didn't recognize the wolves but the lone wolf was very similar and had the same furs as Dolphus.“Is that Dolphus?” Amoux said as if echoing my mind.Before I could answer, the wolf got closer and was now very observable.It was Dolphus.It was really Dolphus!I quickly looked at his back for any sign of Anika but I didn't see anything like her.My heart skipped instantly.The closer he gets, the more the smell of rogues around him stinks in the air.Anika“Where's Anika!” I sent a mind link to Dolphus immediately but he slumped down before he could reply.“Fetch the Pack healer. Now!” I yelled anyone as Amoux and I rushed towards our other friend.No..No! Dolphus mustn't die.The closer we got to him, the more visible the paw scratched on him became clearer and scary.He was badly wounded. His hind legs were severely injured too.“Let’s take him inside,” I ordered Amoux when I still didn't see any sign of Anika.I looked back again when we got to the house but there wasn't still no sign of her.My heart can't help but feel uneasy, I was in a state of turmoil.I looked at the three wolves that came with Dolphus, they’ve shifted back to their human forms.I saw that there any scratches on their body like Dolphus and I couldn't help but feel baffled.“They are the wolves I left at the border to inform us when Luna comes.”Amoux brought me out of my misery.“Where did you see Dolphus?” I asked one of the wolves as we left the room for the healer to treat Dolphus.“We found limping towards the border. He was already severely harmed and half-dead, he only kept on saying run, run, run…”That was when it snapped in my head.They were attacked!By rogues!My own Gemma and my mate were attacked by rogues?!The audacity was what amazed me, even a reborn rogue will never move an inch closer to my border because of how ruthlessly I kill any rogues or any enemies, but some actually dared!“A little girl…did you see a little girl with him? She's around 18, she has black hair, round face. Brown eyes.” I quickly described Anika to them.But they only shook their heads.“No, he was alone.“Then where the hell is my mate?!” I shouted thunderously at them.They were supposed to bring her here!She's supposed to be here!Where's she? Where's she!!“Reagan, calm them. Maybe Dolphus hid her somewhere, we can't be sure yet. Let's wait till Dolphus wakes up,” Amoux tried to calm me but I couldn't shake off the dreadful feeling that clouded her mind.“Yes, yes. You are right, let's wait.” I let out back absentmindedly.I saw Amoux gesture for the wolves to leave and went out to tell everyone to go back down for now, but I couldn’t move.I felt stiff, my whole body couldn't change positions.Amoux came and dragged me back into my chamber and I stayed there till the Pack healer's sent a mind link that Dolphus had woken up.I immediately rushed to his room to check on him with Amoux on my heels.I pushed the door open without knocking and immediately rushed inside.“Alpha King,”“Reagan,”I heard the Pack healer and Dolphus called me in sync.“Where's Anika?” That was the first thing that came out of my mouth.“She’s not here?” I heard Dolphus let out in a low voice.“What did you mean?!” I snapped at him. “Is she not with you?”“No, she's not. She left. I helped her escape, I told her to continue going East until she would see the Alpha King Symbol.” Dolphus explained as he started coughing repeatedly.“I suggest you let him rest, My Alpha, else it might be dangerous to his health,” The Pack healer said to me slowly as she fed Dolphus some black medicine.“Reagan, let’s wait outside,” Amoux muttered and at the same time dragged me out.“I want all my soldiers out there, tell everyone to search for her. Get her portrait and find her.She must be found!” I ordered thunderously and immediately rushed out and shifted into my wolf form.I will also dig through the earth to find her. No matter where she is, I will bring her home.I waited over 400 years for her, and I just met two days ago and now she’s missing? Moon goddess, why?Why did you choose to torment me this way?Please, let her be safe.If it's because of my illness and you didn't want me to be cured, I don't mind dying a miserable death but let her be safe.Please!I kept mumbling and mumbling while I sniffed the ground with my nose.I recalled how she smelled when she hugged me, and while we were kissing. I immediately spread it out and went to where it had the loftiest scent.It was coming from the West.Why was she in the West?I didn't have time to think much about it as I galloped into the forest, I could hear my soldiers howling. They were getting closer to me.Maybe they pursued my scent.I was running in the forest when my eyes flashed in the twilight night.I saw a familiar piece of fabric hanging on a branch of a thorny tree.I went closer and checked it, it was Vicuna wool. One of the fabrics that I gave to Anika as her betrothal gift along with many others.She really came to the West!But Dolphus said he told her to keep running along the East.It wasn’t long after I saw the piece of fabrics that I saw lines of blood on the pathway.It looked like the trail of an injured person,I halt in my tracks and I back away subconsciously.I looked forward and I saw that it was a dead end.After the pathway, it was only a cliff that was visible.I was able to trace the lines of the blood at the edge of the cliff and my heart skipped a beat.I eyed the bottom but I couldn’t see anything.All I saw was a huge pit.If she jumped down from here, she wouldn’t make it.Immediately after I ascertained that fact, I felt my whole world crash.*****A few days afterRed Moon PackEira’s POVIt has been two days since I left my pack to get medicinal plants for my dad’s illness. It started some days ago.I wasn't aware of the sickness as early because I went to our packhouse to help the pack healer treat some wolves.I'm always busy treating one wolf or the other because I'm a healer and it's my passion to see others get healed and live in good health.When I was younger and haven't discovered my healing talent, I've always been an extroverted person.I love going out of my way to help others, even as I was just a daughter of a common werewolf.I'm Eira Ralph, the first daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Ralph. My parents are the true definition of “best parent of the year”.They've been supportive and never for once judged me for going out of my way to help people even though I always come back tired.The only person I have a problem within my family is my younger sister, Carla.Carla was born a year after me, and because of the close gap between us, we grew up together as friends. But all of a sudden, after I discovered my healing talent, Carla and I started having repeated misunderstandings.We never for once agreed on something and I always have to give in to her because I was the older sister and I can't be unreasonable.Our parents tried to bridge the gap between us, but Carla didn't listen and we were always at each other's throats.Even though we were sisters, we are very different from one another.My sister's hair is brown and wavy while mine is black and straight, type A. I have blue eyes while my sister's eyes are golden brown.Apart from the fact that I shared the same color of hair and eyes as my father, I had no resemblance to anyone in my family.Now back to father's illness.When I got back home a few days ago, my father was still okay or that's what I thought until three days ago when he started vomiting and complaining of stomach pain and migraine.It wasn't long that he started losing his appetite. He couldn't eat no matter what my mother cooked for him.I was very worried because I've already given him the medicine soup I always prepared for his stomach aches and headache, but it wasn't effective.That was when I suspected that his illness wasn't just some normal stomach ache or chest pain, it was typhoid.Typhoid is the latest rarest disease in our pack because our Pack water source is one of the best in all the Eastern Packs.We are also known for our fine soil and good land, so I was very surprised when I diagnosed my father with typhoid because I would never have imagined it.In our pack, the case of typhoid patients is very rare and most healers wouldn't even know how to treat it except if they've once treated someone with the exact or similar illness.I have some of the ingredients to make the medicinal soup for my father except some vital ones like Dandelion, Neem leaves and goldenseal, which I couldn't find in the market.So, I had to go look for it in the mountains.I was passing by the Pack House on my way back when I heard a woman shouting for someone to help her pup.Several werewolves already gathered around the woman that I almost couldn't find my way in.I think the pack healer wasn't around because the woman didn't stop yelling for help.“Please help my pup, he's dying. He's really dying,”Eira’s POVThat was the frantic noise I was hearing until I moved closer and I saw a middle-aged woman holding her young dying pup.“What happened to your pup?” I asked, my voice laced with worry as I bent to check the pup’s pulse.I frowned when I found the rapid fluctuations.“I don’t know, I went hunting for food and met him like this when I came back, I don't know what happened, ” The woman cried as she explained to me.“What about your mate? Is he not around?” I asked skeptically.Which werewolf will leave his pup and let his mate hunt for the family?“He died. He was killed by rogues some months before I gave birth to our pup, ” the middle-age woman replied with tears in her eyes.Ohh“Hey, young miss, did you want to treat the pup or continue asking questions? Why are you still not treating him yet?” I heard a male baritone voice behind me, I turned around and saw that the voice belonged to a young teenager.He shouldn't be more than 15 years old.“Did you not notice her blue
Eira’s POV“A proposal? What proposal?” I asked curiously because I didn't know what kind of help I could possibly offer to the Grand Beta of the whole werewolf Packs.“Yes, a proposal.”“Oh, okay. What proposal?” I asked again.“Come with me to treat the Alpha King. ” He blurted out.“Uhn?” I replied, blinking as if I didn't hear him.“I said come with me to treat the Alpha King.” He expressed again now in a precise and straightforward voice.“Treat the Alpha king? Is the Alpha King sick?” I asked, unable to believe my ears.How could the Alpha King get sick some days after he met his mate?Is it a contagious sickness?“Yes, he is ill but now everyone knows about it,” I heard Amoux slowly replied.“Then, why are you telling me?” “Because you will be treating him,” I heard Amoux's instant reply.“When did I agree to that?” I replied with a frown because there was no way I'm leaving my sick father to treat some Alpha King and I can't be forced!“Snow! You are back!” I heard my mother
Amoux’s POVI watched Eira gently rubbing her head again and again, as she tried to form words.I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows at her in question.What could she possibly want to discuss? Don't tell me that she wants to reject the proposal!I instantly frowned at the thought. “I want to ask about the Alpha King’s illness, can you tell me the symptoms?” Eira finally let out.Is that what she wanted to ask? Or is there more to it?What if I divulge it to her and she didn't want to treat it again?Well, I just have to say it to know if she can extend his life a bit, if not Reagan only has a few years to live.No, I have to give him hope.Ever since Anika's demise, he had just been drinking and wallowing in total misery.He wasn't the Reagan I know anymore, he looked more like the shadow of himself.I almost wished we never knew about the existence of Anika. At least, we still have hope but now we just have to find ways to extend his life.“We don’t know the sickness. It's actuall
Amoux’s POVI quickly shook my head on his behalf.No, definitely not!There must be something we can do about it.There must definitely be something since his mate already died.That was what I was thinking when I saw a petite figure approaching me.It was when it got closer that I saw that it was Eira's sister.Was she the shadow from earlier?Well, I can't really say but if she's the one it would be better than any other person. I don't want to feel like I'm being tailed.“Hi,” I greeted her when she got to my presence and quickly smiled at her.I don't know what's it about Carla that I found amusing but since I arrived at this house, I've been trying to spend more time with her than any other person.Which wasn't my way of life.Dolphus and Reagan are the two extroverts among us and I've always been the unapproachable one.Sorry, Reagan is also unapproachable except when we left the Pack house in disguise to party or for outing.That was when werewolves and any other creature woul
Amoux’s POVI was woken by the rays of the sun as it glitters directly into my eyes.I turned around and buried my nose in the soft pillow I was resting my head on when I recollect that we are leaving for Deep Water today.Finally..I grumbled as I shredded the blanket and stood up to go to the bathroom.When I got inside the bathroom, I didn't know how my thoughts drifted to the sexual experience I had last night. Surprisingly, I was able to find a girl with brown eyes and brown hair like Carla but I wasn't able to see someone I wanted as much as her.So, I got distracted and after a while, I came back to the house disappointed because they couldn't get my dick excited.It was flaccid no matter how many brown eyes and hair girls I found. I gradually lost interest and came back without extinguishing the stifling desire in me.Maybe it's because I'm still around her.When I get back to Deep Water and Carla is not there, I would definitely be able to raise the wild wolf again.After wa
Amoux’s POVIt wasn't long when Eira and Carla came out of their room with a big pack.I instantly frown, they don't actually have to take clothes with them because everything they need will be provided for them in Deep Water.“Eira, I think you only have to take any herbs that you think might be useful for the Alpha King’s illness, and just a cloth because you will be provided with anything you want. You are our guests.”“Really? Oh I don't know. I will go and reduce my stuff, ” Eira replied and went back inside her room.Carla also nodded her head and went back into her room too.When they came out again, they were only holding a small pack. I nodded and looked at Mr. & Mrs. Ralph.“We will be leaving now. I will go outside and shift first, they can join me when they are done.” I said to Carla and Eira.“Alright, Grand Beta.” They replied in unison.I bobbed my head and strolled out of the house. I went to the backyard to undress and shift to my wolf form.It wasn't long when I saw
Amoux’s POV“Of course, they will have to have sex with each other since that’s how the moon goddess programmed it,” the chief guard replied.“What's so special about the festival then,” Carla scoffed quietly.This was the first time I heard her talk since we left their pack.It was really nice to my ears. I wished she would actually talk more but she didn’t say anything until we got to the Pack house and saw how everywhere was decorated in colors.“It’s beautiful,” Carla and Eira mumbled.“Yes, it is,” I agreed.Even though we were already at the Pack house, most of the werewolves weren’t present.I immediately assumed that they were all at the location of the festival.It wasn’t long when we got to the Pack house that Alpha Ryan came to meet us.I assumed that it was his chief guard that mind link him to inform him that we were around.“Grand Beta,” He greeted with respect immediately as he got closer to us.“Alpha Ryan,” I greeted back in equal respect.I’m more powerful and I also
Amoux’s POVIt was after a few minutes that Brie finally answered me.“Our Beta mate was put to bed some minutes ago, we never expected that her pup would come today. You probably saw her when you arrived too, she was wearing a green gown and was heavily pregnant.” Brie answered.I searched my memory for anybody that fitted that description but it came back with nothing.I don’t think I have seen any pregnant ladies since I arrived though. Even if I had as she claimed, I wouldn't have remembered because I was so exhausted as at that time and the only thing in my head was how to freshen up and eat.I wasn't even sure I'd attend the festival until Carla came to my room.If not I might not even have stepped out of the room.“Well there’s nothing magical about a healer delivering, yeah?” I asked, trying to get why she said if it wasn’t because of Eira…“At first, we didn’t know that she was a healer. It was minutes after you guys went inside that her water broke, and our Pack healer was a
