Unfamiliar Scent
It was now three months since the Twins became Alpha, up until now life was pretty simple, easy-going. Boring even. Luka did not have much to do so he decided to coax his wolf out and go for a run. They both could do with the feel of the earth beneath their paws.
Drago was excited about the run and emerged almost as soon as Luka reached for him. Bounding towards the edge of the cliff and then over the steep terrain, Drago was in his element. He was a huge wolf. Being an Alpha he was bigger than most of the wolves his age and even older. He had a thick black coat of fur, and eyes as black as the night, but if you looked carefully at his eyes, it looked like swirls of huge waves were crashing within them. He was a magnificent beast. Both beautiful and terrifying at the same time. There was no mistaking that he was an Alpha. Luka missed running in his wolf form with his brother. Lyle and Rosalie spent most of t
Pack GatheringThat evening Luka and Lyle had sent word to their pack and the surround packs via the mind link and through word of mouth that a meeting was to be held at their castle grounds. There were over 1000 wolves gathered, both men and women, eagerly awaiting what the new Alphas were to announce. Since Luka had gotten the first trace of the foreign scent, and his sense of smell was more acute than King Alexander and Lyle, he led the meeting. “Welcome pack members. This is the first meeting which you are attending where Lyle and myself have taken over as Alphas. Thank you for being here. As much as I would like to rely good news to you, I am not sure what I am about to share with you, bodes well for us.” There was a lot of hushed whispers amongst the crowd, everyone looked concerned. What Could Alpha Luka be talking about. Luka continued, “Today while I was out for a run, my wolf Drago scented a foreign smell over the cli
One of Many Dreams With so much on his mind, Luka had many dreams that night, but the one which stood out the most was the dream with the Moon Goddess. She had visited Luka for the first time. “Luka, I am the Moon Goddess. I know your every past and your very future. I know your present thoughts, fears, and hopes, and I am here to guide you. You need to create a practice that will be adopted and passed down from pack to pack and treated as law amongst all the werewolves. You are going to select a werewolf from your pack who you can trust and train, to be your right-hand man. You can have more than one. You will refer to this werewolf as your Beta. He will be your trusted Ali, one whom you will train in battle and strategize with, share pack secrets with, and who will put your life above their own. The same will go for Lyle and every Alpha that is to emerge hereafter. What you may not know is that although your parents were the first of their k
New Truths The Twins found the King sitting in the parlor on the 2nd floor. Lyle could feel the tension rolling off his father even before he could approach him. King Alexander looked up anxiously and started speaking at once. “Luka, what else did the Moon Goddess say? How is it that there are other werewolf packs that I as the King am not even aware off. When will the attack from the rouge pack occur and what is this notion of choosing werewolves to become Betas. Why is she asking you to do all of this?” Luka was equally as stressed as his dad but did not have any concrete answers for him. “In my dream she did most of the talking, from what I gathered though is that I need to pave the traditions for the generations to come. I need to create a law, a way of life for the wolves to follow. From what I could tell, this explains why I had not found my mate immediately after turning eighteen. “I do not want to waste too much time
The Beta CeremonyThe next evening all the pack members and neighbouring packs gathered on the outside field as instructed by the Alphas. There were even more members present than at the previous gathering. King Alexander and the Twins walked through the crowd, each holding a long wooden stick in their right hand, and approached the front of the crowd. At the front of the crowd, There were 2 large fires burning on either side of 3 large wooden chairs. The king gestured for everyone to be silent, at once a silent hum broke across the crowd.“Thank you all for gathering here this evening. Let us commence the evening's event by first giving thanks to the Moon Goddess. Raise your hands up towards the moon, with your head held high, repeat after me. Praises and Glory be bestowed upon the, o Moon Goddess of our People, Moon Goddess of our land. Direct and lead us and usher us in when we lead astray. Thank you for insight, th
Training Day 1It was 4am and the sun was already out, which was rather strange as the sun usually rose at 5am this time of the year, thought Lyle. He tried to remember when his father had taught him and his siblings about the time or how to tell the time, and when he had shown him the first time telling device. He and Luka must have been 6 years old at that time. He remembered the few meetings that the King had held with other members of the pack demonstrating to them how to tell the time and showing them how to construct the time-telling devices and the teachings which he had done over the mind link.Snapping out of the memory he saw Luka approaching. His twin hadn’t looked like himself for some time now. Lyle felt guilty because he had been spending most of his time with Rosalie and had not been keeping up with Luka as much. They usually always discussed everything but of recent there had been an unintentional distance between th
Training Day 2Today was a better day overall thought, Luka. Separating the children from the adults made such a huge difference. The lessons were almost seamless, the children learnt a lot faster than the adults and progressed ahead of them in terms of the content being taught. The self-defence and combat training was the highlight of everyone’s day. It almost seemed as though everyone used this part of the day to blow of steam. Being werewolves, the pack's reflexes were better than normal people, even from as little as the children. Combat and survival instincts came naturally so almost everyone faired well. There were a few of the pack members who were a little clumsy and who walked and fought as if they had two left feet, but where they lacked in combat skill, they made up for in the reading and writing and arithmetic classes. Luka could tell that the Rest of the Royal Family and the Betas shared his sentiments. Surprisingly Luka notic
3 Months PassedWith daily training, morning till evening, the days flew by really quickly. Little thought was spent on anything else except getting the pack to a position where they were knowledgeable and able to defend themselves and their territory.The last day of training was the next day. A final meeting was held between the Royal Family and the Betas. Luka decided to bring up something that he had been considering. "We have trained our pack members and taught them what we know, but the world is evolving and in order for us to keep ahead of what is going on, we need to stay up to date with world events. I have heard that the humans have built institutions called schools. Since they are unaware of what we are, we can get a few of our people to attend these schools, take notes and come back and teach us about the new things that they have learnt. We will replicate the teaching methods and material and personalize and improve the content and style so t
Lukas Announcement“It has been three months now, since we embarked on this journey of increasing our knowledge and Skill. We have all achieved so much and made great progress. As it stands, we are all knowledgeable of our History, how are came to be. How to read, write and add, as well as protect ourselves. There are others who have shown the ability to specialize in other skills suck as cooking, wood work, sewing garments together, building structures. It is for this reason that we have decided to Allow The Royal Family children, The Betas, and a selection of pack members, to attend what is referred to as the Human Schools and Higher learning Institutions. Here we will further broaden our knowledge and skills, this Information will be shared via the pack mind link, so as we are learning so will you. I do not want us to me limited in our knowledge and skills. In order for us to be prepared for future events and possible attacks or threats. There is
