"Where is this den located?" , Beast sighs and swallows hard "Alpha, can I have a glass of water first?" , I eye him closely and take into consideration that he might have been undercover for at least a few hours, so I nod and watch him go pour himself a glass of water in the kitchen, he drinks it in one gulp, then pours himself another, "how long have you been undercover?" ,he puts the glass down and walks back to stand in front of me "since midnight" t, I look at the watch hanging on the wall, it's already noon, I nod "how exactly did you find this den?", Beast looks outside the window "I was doing the usual rounds when I smelled them, so I decided to make the round radius a little wider, and I found the den right outside our borders", I nod again as he continues, "I had to get closer to see how many of them are there, if there's a queen", he goes quiet for a second, I look at him in question "and?", he sighs "there's no queen, they have a king".
I stand up, this is serious , "how many of them are there?" , Beast closes his eyes "about thirty, they were going in and out, some sort of weird activity was going on in there". I nod again , "alright, gather the others, I need to see this myself". Beast nods and runs out, I watch him run towards the cabins through the window, then I allow my anxiety to break through , I run both of my hands on my head and fist my hair "FUCK, what do I do now?, fucking thirty of them", I need to act quick, right before I leave the house, I glance towards the stairs where Rita went upstairs, and I whisper "I will be back, I won't be too long".
Rita
I stare at myself in the mirror, I'm still angry- about this situation, about that coward Stan leaving me here, about how my life has turned 180 degrees within a few hours, and mostly, about the fact that I can't do anything about it. Even if I go back to my normal life, it will not be as normal as it was. A single tear rolls down my cheek, but I quickly wipe it away, no , I won't surrender yet, I run my fingers through my hair and wipe my face again, when something catches my eye in the corner of the mirror. I turn around and eye it, it's a small bookshelf that has a single thick book lying on it, curious, I stand up and walk towards it, why is it so damn high? , I drag the chair and stand on it to grab the book, and why is it so damn heavy?.
I carry the book to the bed, placing it on my lap, I observe it , it reads "The Law of The Amara Pack", it doesn't seem to have a date, or a writer's name on it, but the spine has steel on it and the book itself seems to be very old, judging the amount of dust on it. I blow the dust away and open the book, the first page is blank and yellowish, turning it ,I notice it's hand-written, in an amazing and beautiful way, it reads "In the beginning, there was light and there was darkness, the moon goddess had her light shine all over the land, there was food , shelter and peace. And then there was the vampire king, who had his evil plans to destroy the moon goddess and all that worships her." I raise my brows and hum as I turn the page, this sounds like a fairy tale but it's very interesting, "Fenrir, the great guardian wolf , had been summoned by the moon goddess to fight the evil Vampire king, thus the Vampire king had struck him with a sword through the jaws, the moon goddess restored his life and gave him power to return to the battle", I flip the page "Fenrir managed to defeat the Vampire king, but not his army, they wrapped him in a chain made out of fire and spells ,and dragged him to the underworld, the moon goddess sat in grief for her beloved warrior was gone, but through his sacrifice, peace was restored upon the land". I yawn as I flip another page "and as the land thrived, the wolves became plenty, and thus the moon goddess said 'there shall be packs' , the Steel Pack, the Golden moon pack, the Blood Moon pack, the Silver pack, and the Amara pack- were the first packs to be gathered and divided, and since then, more packs began to form, thus making the moon goddess pleased". I look outside the window as I think, huh, so this moon goddess thing is very serious, I notice it's mid-day and my stomach rumbles, closing the book, I lay it on the bed and decide to go check the kitchen again, if I'm going to be here, I'm not planning to starve to death.
Reaching the end of the stairs, I gasp slightly as I take in the mess in front of me, woodchips all over the place , and a piece of the poor wooden bar stool lays aside, I humph, Xavier sure seems to be having a problem with the word 'No'. I search the place for a broom, of course there isn't one here, so I sit on my knees and start to gather the broken pieces, one of the small pieces scratches my palm and I hiss as I look at it and see the blood start to pour out, I didn't feel it, but it sure seemed to cut deep.
I stand up to go to the kitchen, but then a sudden gust of wind blows my hair back and makes me jump, what the hell?, I look around, there are no windows open, judging the still trees outside , it doesn't seem to be windy today. Feeling uneasy I turn around to make my way to the kitchen sink to wash my hand, but I come face to face with a man, I scream and stumble back, I stare at him, he looks different, tall , very pale skin, dark eyes, face clear of any hair, but very handsome features, he stares at me solemnly, I shiver "W-who are you?", he tilts his head to the side slowly, and speaks in a deep tone "the question is, who are YOU?" he takes a step forward and I take one back, looking down I see a piece of wood lying next to my foot on the floor, I quickly lean down and grab it , I point it towards him "don't come any closer", he stands in his spot, and I can't help but feel creeped out by him, wearing all black, his strong presence showing by his very noticeable strong figure, the muscles can be noticed through the upper open buttons of his button shirt, I gulp, a drip sound makes my attention shift to my side, my hand is covered in blood and it is starting to drip to the floor.
I look up and this time he is right in front of me, I gasp sharply and take a step back, he keeps coming closer, until my back hits a wall, I look into his eyes as I shiver in both fear and cold, "what do you want?", he blinks and opens his mouth to speak, then I see two sharp fangs behind his upper lip, "I wonder, what is a human doing among hungry wolves?", he grand my bleeding hand, and raises it up to his face, I realize what this is, a vampire.
I try to pull my hand out of his grip, but it's like steel, I raise my other hand with the sharp wooden piece and try to stab him, but he holds my hand with his other hand and squeezes it hard, I squeal in pain as I drop the wooden piece, letting go, his tongue comes out of his mouth, and he takes a long slow lick of my bloody hand as his eyes stay focused on mine, all of a sudden , I feel like I'm in a daze, my head feels light, and my knees buckle, his second hand holds me up in place by the waist, but I can't seem to control my head and upper torso starting to lean to the side , he hums for a send and squints his eyes as he says "Rita, the werewolf bride", my eyes grow heavy and the last thing I see before diving into blackness , is his evil grin.
