Chapter 1

          The wolf world had been turned upside down with the kidnapping of the only Kolana/Mattra hybrid and the murder of the Alpha and Luna of Grey Moon.  There had been search parties to try and find the killer/kidnapper as they assumed it was the same person.  They looked for weeks and were unable to find a trace of the person responsible for this horrendous crime.  They thought that the baby must have been killed as well or they would have received a ransom of some sort, but they were unable to find a body to prove their assumptions.  

Alexander smiled when he got the news that they were unable to track him.  One of the wonderful things about being a powerful Lycan like he was, he was able to cover his sent.  He knew that the only sent that the baby had given off was that of power, but he was able to mask that as well.  When he had returned to his mansion that night, he had his housekeeper set up a room for the baby and had a nanny on standby to take care of the girl.  He had to come up with a name for her as he couldn’t just call her baby girl for the rest of his life.  He thought about it for a few days and came up with a name fitting for her, Symphony. 

Over the next few weeks Alexander hardly ever heard Symphony crying, which was very surprising to him because he knew that most newborns cried constantly.  He checked on her development daily and he knew she was growing well and was healthy.  The news of the murder/kidnapping had spread throughout the wolf packs and even his kingdom.  They were still no closer to solving the mystery as the weeks turned into months.

By the time that Symphony had turned a year old the news of everything had almost stopped.  It seems that the wolves of the Grey Moon pack had quit looking and had given up hope that she was alive.  Symphony was quickly becoming an adventurous child.  She had grown an attachment to Alexander over the past year and soon followed him everywhere.  She loved to sit in his office while he was working.  The housekeepers of the house grew to love her spirit and quirks.  She had grown faster than that of any wolf or Lycan for that matter. 

 Alexander knew she was special but never shared where she came from or what she was, as far as anyone knew she was just a plain old wolf that he had found orphaned when he was away on business and that was just how he liked it.  The only one that knew of her true nature was his most trusted and loyal guard, Gavin.  The only reason Alexander told Gavin anything was because Gavin was able to put two and two together between the murders and kidnapping and Alexander’s disappearance that day.  Gavin was sworn to secrecy.   Alexander appointed Gavin to also keep an eye on Symphony to keep her out of trouble and to make sure no one started asking questions.
