There was always a time when the hard work of the people would pay off. When we had taken time to pray to our ancestors that our plans would work out smoothly. The werewolf community did not want to take change so lightly. They loved the comfort. The diversity of staying how we have always been. I could not help but wonder whether our traditions were meant to be broken years ago. What would the people be benefiting by holding this toxic traditions and cultures?
Whatever it was, it had finally oppressed the people to the point where they werere ready to do anything. As I look at the people, I see alot of difference among them. Werewolves from different parks and different races joined together for a greater purpose. We would be seeing the success of this mission and I was more than willing to lead our people into that future.
"Finally, the day we have all anticipated has come.'' I said as I watched everyone screaming and jumping in excitement. This was the first time that the rogues would be making such a long journey and it would also be the first time that they made it to the palace. We did not know what to expect but we put our faith and hope forward. The alpha king was A Kind man as we have all heard, and right now we were operating on luck.
''Will now begin the journey towards the king's palace where we will make our request no. May the gods be with us.''
'' May the gods be with us.'' they responded by bowing their heads in respect of our ancestors.
''All hail lunar Maria.'' Jeremiah screamed, making the crowd recite after him.
"All hail lunar Maria!'' They all shouted.
All my life, I had never been a desirant of power or leadership. Authority was something I was good at taking and not giving. Life however had different plans for me.
I ended up taking a different path from the one I had always anticipated for myself. I want to become a warrior and nothing more.
''Everyone is ready to take off.'' Isabella says to me in a Jovial manner. I turned to her and smiled, placing a hand on her shoulder.
So far, she Is the only person I have allowed close to me. We had developed a certain kind of friendship even though I was too uptight and did not want to admit it. Isabella had the Heart of Gold. Being the daughter of the leader of one group of rogues gave me the support I needed to leave the entire group. I knew that leadership was not easy. But if this is what was in my blood and this was what my ancestors wanted me to do, then I would take the road and lead with intelligence.
"Then let us head out!'' I say to her offering her a smile as we walk out of the cave.
beginning the journey did not need many formalities, I gave the go-ahead and the man at the beginning of the line began to tally forward. We had carried all of our food supplies as well as the weapons that we had kept for ourselves in case we encountered danger. I knew that there were those did not agree to our missions. A lot of people benefited from these traditions and we would be receiving hostile retaliation. The people were however prepared And we would fight our battles until we won.I understood that alpha Donovan would be coming back one day or another. he was not a man who gave up but I had promised myself that when they did, I will fight with my life to protect these people.
"So, '' Isabella began, '' Did you have any boyfriends back in the pack?''
''I suppose you mean boyfriend, as in singular, because even if I did, I would be loyal to one.''
''Then I suppose that means you didn't. How is a warrior like you, really beautiful? not have someone in their life?'' she asks. I couldn't help but catch on to our curiosity.
''I mean look at you, the men here are already falling in love with you.'' she jokes.
I only burst out laughing. Love was never a language I was good at. It never even crossed my mind. Of Course i had urges, but many at times, al i did was focus my energy in training.
''At the training camp, I was approached by many of the warriors. Not that there was anything wrong with them, not that they were not my type, but i just could'nt find myself in a sexual relationship with anyone other than my mate.'' I responded.
''Aha, so you are one among the thousands that still believes in the existence of mates and the wait for them.'' she answers rhetorically.
"What do you mean the existence of mates?''
"Well, i'm just saying, Look at the population that has been kicked out of their civilization because they didn't find their Soulmates.'' Isabella argues.
''And what about them? Maybe the time had not yet come. I myself was kicked out because I didn't find my mate, that does not mean that he does not exist, it means that destiny has not connected us yet.'' I debate.
" My father is 57 years old now, he has never found his mate. Explain to me how destiny still waiting for this.''
'' maybe she died.'' I Spit out a possible truth.
'' listen, Isabella. Destiny is not something we with play with. Saying that mates do not exist is as equal as saying that you do not believe in the moon goddess.''
''but I do. She is our creator in the protector, but the story about mate just does not add up. it has been dragged along for too long. What if this entire theory about Soulmates was only created to control the population of Packs. So that the alphas would be able to limit and control the number of citizens in their parks in the theory of whether or not they found their mates.''
'' I see your reasoning, I really do, but you…''
When I touched my chest, I noticed that the beautiful Emerald necklace that always hangs around it is missing. I panic, I could not have possibly lost the only thing I had that belonged to my parents. My Mind counters around everything I had done today, I tried to remember where I had taken it off.
'' What's wrong? is everything ok?'' Isabella asks in a panic tone.
'' I have to go get my necklace, it is the most important thing I have.''
'' where? where are you going to get it? let me go with you, we should tell the people to stop and wait for you.'' she suggests.
"No, you know it will only take me less than an hour it If I run back for it. I will be back before anyone even notice I'm gone.''
I do not even let her argue with me before I'm running back….
