Chapter 10 part 1 The wolf in me

Thunder and lightenning

The training was going quite well and I am more confident that our plan on wiping out the entire vampire clan was going to work. Every wolf pack was on our side and are working as one. The lone wolves also joined in and are now part of our pack. Only the werewolves that live out without their human form were not spoken to. They do not understand a conversation and they were so wild, that they would attack us. No alpha would bring back their humanity.

It was early morning. The sun remained hidden under the grey heavy clouds but still, the moonshine pack were being heavily trained by Malakai. I watched intently, admiring his motivational speeches and effort. My eyes were laid on Mei. She was one of the best female fighters we had in the pack. I wondered if I should ask her to start giving training to young children. It would be a great idea just in case the plans were all failing and the kids were in danger. They would at least know how to properly defend themselves the best they can. You can never prepare enough for such a battle. I moved away from the window and started to walk downstairs to the kitchen. Steph was rushing from left to right giving out orders and handing out the ingredients needed to the three chefs that were running against time. Breakfast was to be served within fifteen minutes and they were halfway. We were over two hundred and fifty hungry wolfs now that we had more joining us and I thought we needed more staff in the kitchen. "Steph, I will leave a comment during breakfast that we need two more chefs to join in. You are all stressed out already and it is still seven o'clock." I looked at the watch to check the time. Steph nodded and thanked me whilst handing some veggies to Mina and flour to Raylene. I smiled and thanked everyone for the hard work before I left.

I walked outside towards Malakai. He was watching the trainees and giving out instructions whilst showing them the proper way to fight and defend. He must have sensed that I was approaching as he turned his head towards me. "Alpha, what do you think?" He asked lifting his head towards the trainees. I nodded and smiled, patting his shoulders roughly with my strong hands. "Great job Malakai. Within a few more days, everyone will be ready." I started walking towards Mei that was training against Keira. She was light and quick as she grabbed her arms and rolled her over to the ground. She looked at me smiled but was brought down to the ground after Keira saw that she was distracted by her mate. They both laughed whilst Mei started tickling Keira to tease her. "Ladies, ladies. You are enjoying yourselves way too much." I giggled and approached Mei. They both laughed. Mei stood up and helped Keira up, pulling her from her arms. "Do you want to talk sweety?" She asked me with a soft voice. "I have a preposition." I said looking at Mei. I thought that the kids should be trained too, just in case. You can never tell if they would need to defend themselves." Mei kept staring at me, then nodded. "Yeah. That is a good idea. Of course, they are not strong like us grown-ups, but its good for them to know how to defend themselves. The only problem is that Malakai is busy training us. Who will train the young?" She explained. I smiled and looked at her straight in the eyes. "What?" She asked. "Well... I thought that you should" Mei stared at me then giggled nervously and looked at Keira. "Great choice," Keira said encouraging Mei. "You are the best candidate for the job" she continued. Mei agreed with a nod and smiled. I could tell that she was happy to have such a role as her eyes were shining bright.

"Everyone, training is over. It will soon start to rain and breakfast will be served in a few minutes." As soon as the grounds where empty the clapping of thunder filled the quietness of the front garden. I stood there alone thinking about what my dad said to me when he revealed his best-kept secret to me. My mother was killed right here. I was picturing the moment when a figure appeared before me. It stood right outside before the newly built gate looking into my direction. I heard a hiss coming from that direction. A bolt of lightning hit the ground and made me turn my eyes to its direction. The thunder roared like an angry god filling the sound of the rain hitting the earth. I turned my eyes into the direction of the shadow and it was gone. My eyes twitched as I frowned my eyebrows not sure if I was just hallucinating. Another bolt of lightning hit the garden and was so close I feard the next one will hit me so I walked back inside, closing the door behind me.

"Today is not a good day to be outside," I told Mei. "Perhaps we can relax and just be in each other's arms" I continued looking at her with my seductive look. We were in the empty hall. I have just finished my daily morning meeting, giving updates and instructions for the day and everyone started to head their way towards their duties. "Perhaps we should. Shall we?" She asked handing out her hand for me to hold whilst we turned to walk towards our bedroom.

"Sir, I mean Alpha. We have a problem. The vampires have surrounded us." A young man shouted. I could smell his anxiety from where I stood. I rushed down the stairs and peeped outside. Sure enough, there were a bunch of them slamming against the strong gates, trying to break in. "Where is Jake?" I asked him. "The last I saw him he was in his bedroom. I go get him" he ran to inform jake. "This is bad. We are alone Mei. It's too late to inform the other packs. I can't afford to have them try to pass through." I looked at her with a worried face. Panic started to hit me and my eyes turned purple. "Mei I feel my wolf scratching at my skin." She moved away to give me space to shift. In seconds I tore my clothes and turned into the giant wolf. Mei opened the door as my wolf rushed outside and stood right in front of the door. He growled strongly showing the vamps that he was in control and not scared at all from them. The vampires moved away from the gate at the sound of my wolf's voice and sprinted. Mei was standing still behind me and looked down at me with an open mouth. "You scared them away. They must have feared you or sensed that you are a weapon that works against them." Her amazement turned into laughter as she moved to let me back in. She closed and locked the door behind her and hugged my wolf. "I wonder what else you can do," she said kissing my wolf's nose. I turned back into human form and stood up from the ground.

"Why do I have to always find you butt naked alpha?" Jake shouted as his voice echoed around the hall. "He scared the vamps away from our territory" Mei explained. "Can you believe it?" Jake looked surprised, then bowed down in respect. "Don't do that Jake. Stand." I told him. "You saved us today king alpha. You deserve a bow." He said smiling at me. "I don't deserve anything. I must protect my pack. I need you to let the guards know they need to stand in place. If the vamps return I must know." Jake nodded and walked away.

My dad rushed down the stairs towards us pulling down the brown t-shirt to cover his belly. "What happened? I felt you. I started shifting in my room and heard your growl". He looked at me, checking if I got injured. "I'm fine. The vamps tried to enter our territory. With my growl they fled. They took advantage of the weather," I explained. Dad smiled and leaned in for a hug. "Great thing you tried that out," he said hitting his open palms on my back. "My wolf took over. I had no control over my action," I explained. "Still you trusted him. Part of you had faith in him, so you let him free." I smiled at him and nodded.
