Master, they've taken the flower and burnt the forest where we buried our loved ones. " Lucas said.
They did what?" he barked. Who did this? " biting his lower lips.
It's.. the humans. Those ravaging beasts. They have started haunting werewolves. " Lucas said.
This calls for war! They've trespassed into our property, stolen our flowers and burnt our forest." he laughed mischievously. Run along lucas. Tell the council, we have a meeting tonight." he waved his hands.
As the moon set in the night sky, its rays illuminated the dense forest below. Crickets chirped in the darkness, their song pierced only by the occasional howl of the werewolves. The night was still, as if the whole world was holding its breath, waiting for what was to come. The moon's final rays faded into the horizon, leaving only the dim light of the stars to guide the way.
Amidst the stillness of the night, the sound of footsteps could be heard, crunching through the leaves and twigs on the forest floor. A low growl echoed through the trees, followed by a chorus of howls. The night seemed to hold its breath, waiting to see what would happen next. The footsteps grew louder, and the growls more ferocious.
The pack of werewolves came to a halt just outside the entrance to the cave, their eyes glowing in the darkness. They remained still, their ears perked, awaiting the instructions of their leader. Inside the cave, the Alpha sat with the elders in council, their voices low and urgent as they debated their next move. The tension was palpable, both inside and outside the cave. A decision would have to be made soon.
"Brother, you are blind to the truth," Ethan snarled, his eyes flashing with anger. "The humans have always wanted to control our forest, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. Your good heart has only led us to disgrace, and we are treated like common dogs."
Daciana's voice was calm and steady as she spoke. "Ethan, please do not be so hasty. The humans have not done this before. Perhaps there is more to the situation than we know." She looked at the Alpha, hoping to reach him with her words.
"Peace and purity? You sound ridiculous," he scoffed. "What good is peace if we must hide like the vampires? They run from the humans, living in shadows and darkness. We are not like them. We are wolves, we are strong and fierce. We were not made to run from humans. We will stand tall, and we'll roar."
He looked around, seeking support from the others, but their faces were stony. No one spoke, but their eyes betrayed their doubt.
Daciana countenance changed,
"You know nothing! We shouldn't be engulfed by rage. We...
As Daciana spoke, the Alpha held up his hands, signaling for her to be silent. Her face flushed with anger, but she stopped speaking. She sat back down, her eyes narrowed, her body tense.
The Alpha cleared his throat. "We are at a crossroads," he said. "We can choose the path of peace, or we can choose the path of war. I know that many of you are filled with anger and fear, but we must decide carefully. The future of our kind hangs in the balance."
He looked around the room, waiting for someone to speak.
As the Alpha looked around the room, a voice rang out from the entrance of the cave. "I have decided that there will be war!" Jack exclaimed, his voice echoing off the stone walls.
The other wolves turned to face him, their eyes wide. Jack's fur was bristling, his claws unsheathed. "We will feast on their flesh, and we will be victorious," he snarled.
"Enough!" the Alpha roared. "I will not allow this pack to be torn apart by war." He turned to Jack, his eyes flashing. "You will leave, now!"
"Father, I'm a weapon of destruction. I'll kill them. Just as they killed mom. " he snarled.
The alpha was taken aback by the mention of his wife.
If she was here, she would never support war." he said .
But she isn't! " Ethan snared. She's absent and only lives in our heart. We lost her to those cruel beings lurking in shadows, looking for souls to devour."
He went to the entrance of the cave
Look! They are waiting for your command, brother. Permit me to give them the go order. "
The alpha stood in the middle of decisions. His mind running far, he bit his lower lips.
"Your highness, if I may, I'll love to tell you that every action we take now, we'll face the consequences. " Daciana voice broke the silence.
Ethan gaze moved sharply to her.
"You lost your family to the humans.your beloved husband and your son to them. Here you are, defending them. A stare of disgust they'll give you from where they are. Have you forgotten the look on your husbands face when he died? He looked so innocent and your son, swimming in the shallow of pains. "A sly grin ran across his face.
The wolves howled,urging the alpha to declare war.
The alpha stood up, moved outside. The council watched as he matched majestically to address the angry pack.
"My beloved wolves, " the noise calmed as he said his first three words. "You want war?
The wolves howled.
He paused,waited for few minutes and continued.
"very well then, you shall not have it."
There was a low growl, followed by noise.
"Silence! As a 900 years wolf, I have seen what war has caused. The damages, the pain that both parties suffer. There is more than the eyes can meet. We are strong, yes. We are powerful, yes. But, I can't put your lives at stake to gain revenge. I have a question... " he remained silent for a while. "Can any one track the scent of the humans that causes this havoc? "
"I can!"Jack voice rang from his back. He has transformed back to human.
The alpha seemed to ignore him.
"Dad, I want to prove to you that I can be brave like you. I want to prove that I can be strong like you." he said as he touched his dad.
"There is nothing to prove, get lost! " he removed jacks hand from his shoulder.
As the Alpha struggled to keep his voice calm, another voice broke through the silence. "I can track their scent!" said Adolf. The pack turned to look at him, their eyes full of hope and expectation. The Alpha looked at Adolf, considering his offer.
The Alpha's voice was skeptical, but there was a hint of hope in it. "How sure are you that you can track the scent?" he asked.
Adolf's voice was full of confidence. "I've honed my sense of smell for years," he said. "I'm a crossbreed, so I've inherited the psychic ability of my mother. I can track everything."
The pack was silent, absorbing this information.
The Alpha nodded, his decision made. "Very well then, Adolf. Find the source of the chaos. Don't be seen, and don't engage. Just find out who did this."
Adolf nodded, and he turned to leave. He would track the scent, and he would find out the truth.
I will find the cause of this. "Adolf mumbled as he left. A sly grin on his face.
"The rest of you may go home," the Alpha said. "There is no need for more noise or commotion."
The pack obeyed, dispersing to their dens.
"I'm so disappointed in you, brother," said Ethan, his voice full of bitterness.
The Alpha let out a cold sigh, not even bothering to look at him. He knew what his brother thought, and he didn't care. He had made his decision, and he would not be swayed by petty emotions.
The Alpha watched as his brother, Ethan, disappeared into the night. One by one, the members of the council followed suit, returning to their dens. The moon was high in the sky, and the forest was silent. The air was thick with tension, and the night felt heavy with uncertainty. The Alpha stood alone, his mind racing.
"You know what you're hiding in your heart," Jack said, his voice low and dangerous. "You know why you don't want to take action. But I am more disappointed than Ethan. More disappointed than you can imagine."
The Alpha let out a low hiss. He clenched his fists, trying to control his emotions. But it was no use. Jack had struck a nerve, and the Alpha could feel his temper rising. He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself.
Jack turned and stalked off into the woods, leaving the Alpha alone.
"How long can I hide it?" the Alpha asked, his voice heavy with despair.
"As long as you are determined to hide it," Daciana replied, her voice soft and reassuring. "But you know that it will not last. Your emotions will betray you in the end."
The Alpha let out a heavy sigh. "They don't understand," he said. "They never will. They think I'm weak, that I'm afraid to fight."
"You're not weak," Daciana said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You're strong, brother.
Daciana green gown flowed behind her as she walked away from him. "You know," she said softly, "the prophecy will be fulfilled. I don't have much time here." Her voice was hushed, as if she were speaking to the wind.
"There is no prophecy!" he yelled, his voice filled with desperation. "I can't lose you!"
She turned to face him, her eyes filled with sadness. "I'm afraid it's out of our hands," she said. "I wish it weren't so. Good night, brother. "
She vanished into the thick night, leaving him to ponder and dive deep into his thoughts.
