Chereads / Midnight Alpha / Chapter 3 - New wolf

Chapter 3 - New wolf

Today is the day when Blaire turns 16. She will shift for the first time in wolf. Everyone was exhilarated after all she was sanctified before she was born. All the coalition and pack were gathered as Alpha and Luna organized a bonfire.

Everyone was enjoying mostly free food. They were laughing, chattering, some alpha's complaining that their pack does it way better than this, some being covetous by luxury, and so on.

Abruptly there was a noise of bone cracking and scream.

Scream and bone-cracking were kept going. Suddenly, Alpha Hudson picks up his daughter and moves towards the wood. Today was a full moon day and rear fortunate to be able to shift on this night.

A large howl and a white wolf leap and ran towards the deep woods. Others also change into wolf form and ran toward her. They ran and ran until they were on the frosty land and spotted a white wolf with green eyes sitting.

The dawn light strikes the white fur and they were gleaming. Her green orifices glinting. She was a sight for a sore eyes. A large howl escapes from her mouth before she tried to lounge toward one of the wolves.

Alpha jumped in the middle and growled at her. She lowers her head in submission. The whole Horris family came to her and start licking and sniffing. They welcome a new wolf to their family and remember her scent.

However, she didn't know she wasn't the only one howling. Her wolf might be in joy but someone out there was howling in sorrow and pain.

The white wolf was only in the myth and many were fascinated to see it. They spent the day hunting and fulfilling their bloodthirst.

Rumours of the white wolf were spreading so fast. It was a threat that someone might try to harm her.

However, for Blaire, she was adjusting to her new life. Her wolf name was Silver. She was busy with her training and school activities and to say she was doing better than any new transformer.

Whenever Blaire is with her mother she gained knowledge about mates. Blaire was thrilled to know someone is willing to take the blame for all the Ps5 she broke down, ready to buy her pickle and ice cream as much as she wishes.

She also learned that mates are like genital parts, we don't acknowledge and divulge ample about it but that is so much important in life.

There was also the rumour on how the newly shifted alpha killed 140 wolves alone along with his parents and unborn baby. Blaire felt unpleasant as she can't imagine going through that situation at such a young phase.

In Selene's pack, there was Silence, sorrow, and lament. Xander once used to jog every morning at borderline now sulking in the room in front of his parent's picture.

Xander who used to roam in the packhouse just to make sure every member is getting their necessity and cracking jokes and showing his humour has forgotten to smile.

It has been 2 days since the incident. Nobody dares to go to his room. But they were scared if he didn't come out soon he will die of hunger or depression. His wolf hasn't even come out after that night.

Beta who used to be Alpha's good friend is now outside locking the door. Soon he was joined by the council head who arrived after horrendous news.

"Xander you can't keep yourself locked. The whole pack is in now grief but some members are looking after you. We need to hold a funeral. If you agree with us." The door burst before beta could enunciate another word.

"You won't hold my parent's funeral without me. I know damn well that they are killed no need to remind me again and again." He was on the verge of ripping his heart.

The council head command Xander to calm down who was trembling in anger said "I may not know how you are feeling but I can assume it is unbearable. That's why we gave you some time off and the moon goddess_"

Xander's growl cutoff " My Parents Who Raised Me For 16 Years Were Killed In Front Of Me, My Mother Was Raped And My Father Was Whipped With Silver. And You're Telling Me To Overcome That Just In Two Days? Their Scream, Cry, And wails Are Still Running In My Ears And Piercing My Heart. I Am Feeling The Most Useless, Weak, And Unworthy Living Being. You Are Talking About The Moon Goddess? Where Was She? Huh, Where Was She When My Mother Was Praying Her To Save Her Prominence From That Devil. Where Was She When My Father's Limp Was Torn Out And He Was Praying To Save His Children And Wife? Where Was She When I Prayed To Take My Life Instead Of My Family? I Closed My Eyes The Entire Time And Precisely Took Her Name Hoping She Will Come And Save Us But No Your Moon Goddess Was Nowhere To Be Found. So How Dare You Talk About That Non-existing Thing In Front Of Me?

Xander shifts into a wolf and ran toward the wood. His wolf Alex takes control and runs as fast as his legs could. He reaches the cliff and howls in pain.

He can't take it he just can't. When he locked himself he heard everyone. He knows everyone pities him, someone said him a coward because he didn't save his parents, someone despises him and some are scared that he has become a monster who kills for pleasure.

He doesn't want this he just wants to go 4 days back to when his parents and everyone was preparing for his first shift and happy they were when they told him he was gonna be a big brother.

But his happiness was stolen by the moon goddess he loathes her. Then he recalls his promise to his parents. How will he carry on when those who are gonna support him aren't there? How will he carry the load of the pack? He was just 16 years old and is still studying.

That night he cried, he cried and howl to his life whose future is only going downstairs and he can predict it so clearly. Later on, he stop crying and went outside his pack borderline.

He went on human territory roaming here and there. It was only mid-day and also a weekend. The road was crowded. He can smell various scents. He can listen to people talking. The more he roams more he realized he was alone in this congested place. There was no one where he can go and say he isn't doing well. There stood nobody who will tell him everything gonna be fine.

He saw a boy nearly his age dispute with his mother to buy him a new game. He remembers his bickering with his mother.

Flashback

"Mom I am telling you this human kid in school always flirts with the girls. He doesn't even spare the teacher." Xander put on his backpack and complain to his mom.

"So" his mother answers. "What are you saying? He also bullies the beta's son Tom. I was going to break his jaw but I remember you said not to create a show in school so I spare him" he said trying to grab some cookies from the plate.

"Thank Goddess you listen. And if he does something bad then his own and his parents' reputations will be damaged. And violence is not only the way. Maybe he is like that because he has some problem or he enjoys it. We need to find another solution. If nothing works then quarrelling should be taken as the last action. AND DON'T DARE TOUCH EM" She hit his arm slightly.

Xander flinches and said "okay okay mom, geez stop. It's only the cookies. I can always eat them in the canteen."

"Only cookies. You will realize this cookie's importance once you can't have them." Luna and Xander were bickering when Alpha came "I come home to find peace but looks like the moon goddess has planned something else."

"You both son and father are same. And you Stephan this is all your fault. If you have shut your mouth when I told you our son won't have learned your ego. Now look he is insulting my cookies." Luna Filomena said while sulking.

"Stop it. We both made him so he has my ego but your attitude and behaviour. He even acts like you in daily life. Like yesterday, I asked him if he has seen my watch then he lectured me for not putting my belongings in their place. But he didn't mention where my watch is as for my punishment. He is your son". Alpha Stephan tries to reason.

Xander was enjoying the show and was able to eat some cookies.

" Fine, he is my son. You both stupid father and son increase my headache. One day I will be gone after that you guys will know my worth. Then, keep looking to eat my food I won't come and you guys will starve from hunger" she shouts and goes out of the kitchen.

Alpha ran towards his mate to calm her down. Xander is fascinated by the Almighty alpha running like a puppy beside his mate. But he shrugged off and decide to eat more cookies.

Flashback ends

You were right mom. I miss your cookies. I now know your worth please come back. Your Xander is scared and alone. Please dad I promise I won't ever lecture you for not putting belongings in their place. I will also give you your watch because I was the one who hid it from you.

Please come. A lone tear runs down his face.
