Ralph's Point Of View
When I finally escaped father's outburst about jackia's disappearance and me trying to cover her up, I sure got myself into trouble, leaving me with no other choice but to find a way to escape father early this morning.
I was in the palace with no sense of duty, then my wolf "Dam" spoke.
"Let's go for a run" But I quickly remembered that my back hurts a lot.
Dam sometimes tries to manipulate me into doing his bidding but this time around, I truly need the run.
" How do I get myself out of here?" I asked Dam
"Oh come on, we both know how we usually get ourselves out of here without father knowing " he said and I could feel him pacing within me.
"Alright no problem , let's give it a trt then" I said to Dam.
As I made my way out of my room and walked towards the kitchen, It was known by the maids that whenever I come down to the kitchen it eas either I am trying to escape from the pack elders or I just wanted to get myself out of the palace without father noticing .
The maids quickly made way for me and I went right through the door. The door led right to the woods, with tall and short trees waving their branches in the direction of the wind. The fresh air and scents of the leaves are always enticing and will definitely get me to stay right in the woods all day long.
Once my foot touched the ground, I could feel Dam's excitement right through my bones knowing how he could be outdoors. Since I got my wolf at the age of eighteen, life has been different in a fun way. Even though sometimes we end up not speaking for hours, I have grown to love Dam and he is my best partner.
We fought so many battles together, we got injured and sometimes saw the lord of death together. We shared every emotion and I have control over him but anytime I transform out of so much anger, he takes over and wreaks havoc beyond repair. The full moon often time empowers Dam but I am sure to keep him at bay.
I could hear the intense heat hooting from my body, my fangs started to grow longer by the minute, my eye balls changed, my brown fur started to grow from my cheek bones, then from my chest and legs. My muscles became more large.
Then I started to hear the crack of bones as I changed fully into my wolf. I was a big brown wolf with deep chocolate furs. Dam was definitely beautiful, but I couldn't tell him that as he was so full of himself which pissed me off every single time .
I jumped up and landed on my two paws, the breeze blew my fur as I ran right into the greener parts of the woods. He ran so fast into the woods with a lot of energy as he jumped every wood that lay on the ground. I didn't know when we ran miles away from the palace .
We ran until we could not run anymore. We got so tired, so we rested by a tree because we needed to catch breath before we made our way back home.
I could notices some falling trees and the dryness already giving a sign that autumn might come by anytime soon and the days when the moon goddess will allow passage through the border.
The moment I remember this day, my heart beat increased by the day as I made my way out.
No mather how many times I have witness this occasion, I can never get used to it, not in anyway .
Dam read my thoughts and he responded, after fidgeting for a little while.
"What is your plan for protecting your pack? The thought alone makes me quiver". Dam said as he paced about.
"We just have to protect the people at all cost the cost " he said to me and I shook my head in response , making it look like I had no other opinion to it .
But the sky suddenly changed,
"Dam it looks like it going to rain anytime soon, we have to make our way back before it does or else I might miss dinner. I am going to eat with the maidens .
"Really I can't wait to meet them, but I am more fascinated by Jackia, you know she is our mate right?"
" Who Is jackia?" I asked Dam as I seemed to be lost as we walked right back home,
" come on Ralph, the lady that tried to run away to the border, but the moon goddess stopped her " he said to me.
It took me several minutes to really recall who he mentioned ,
"You mean Jackia from the other day, the one who has kept people talking for long. Well she is a fierce one, you could definitely see probably due to the training she has received". I said to Dam.
"I wasn't talking about that, I meant to talk about why you want to deny the mate pull? After waiting for so long, our mate arrives and yet you turn a blind eye?"
"Jackia is very delicate and she will make a good Luna
"I laughed at Dam. We both know what exactly you mean, but been fierce doesn't mean that she is much capable than the rest of them ".
"I am not in the mood to focus on having a mate now, I am comfortable been alone besides now that it was almost time for the blood mages to have access into our pack, I need to focus on beefing up security and not any useless game to pick a bride for me".
" Well, no matter how much you deny it, you would definitely accept her as your mate. Let's just watch and see" he said as we could feel that the rain might drop any time from now.
"We need to hurry Dam, we can't get soaked under the rain and it looks like it might rain heavily".
We had to run all the way home before the rain started. But unfortunately before i got to the place it started to rain and I was drenched. I had no clothes for me to change Into, I had to mindlink Liam to get me something to wear.
I was so wet, as showers of the rain soaked my body. I had to pace around naked in my human form as Dam didn't want to get himself wet. I scoffed at him for desserting me when i needed him.
A few minutes later Liam finally made it to where I was as he handed me the towel .
It was late into the afternoon, and I made my way right to my room. I avoided the maids greetings. As soon as I got into my room my Beta had instructed the maid to get me food.
" Why will you just go out without telling me?" Liam said looking at me angrily ,
" Come on, you don't have to be like that, I just needed some time alone to get some stuff off my head" I said to Liam as a way to try to get him to calm down . He was not just my beta but my best friend. We grew up together and have since been buddies.
I was still wet, water dripping from my hair and my clothes already damp.
" At least you could have said something instead of getting me worried. Your father was here earlier and he asked if you were getting ready for tonight's dinner?".
"Father should at least spare me all these ceremony and let's get over with this old tradition",
"You will have to tell him yourself, but as for me, I am not ready to do that, once you're done cleaning up, we will have to get you ready for tonight's dinner".
