"Okay, when you're doing a jump. I want you to shift. I actually want to see what this wolf looks like." Seraphine announced when we started our training on the following morning. I was starting to get the hang of all this training. Each time I moved, my muscles became a little less sore. I feel like I'm improving. I watched as Seraphine grabbed the long ended sword. We had done this practice a few times, She would swing towards my mid section and then I would jump to avoid the blow. This time, instead of leaping over to land on my hands, I would be landing on my paws instead. No one had really had the chance to see Reya up close, there was something to be said about white wolves, though I never really understood the meaning behind them. My brother's wolf was an offwhite color with dark splotches, but Reya.. Reya was a stark white wolf from head to paw. I was nervous to let her out, afraid of what others would see in her.
I ran towards Seraphine, I watched for the exact moment where she swung the weapon towards my center, I leaped, and triggered my shift. This action would shred through my clothes and as I landed down, I landed gracefully on the four paws of Reya's form. Seeing through her eyes was like seeing through a magnified glass. Everything was clearer through her. We pranced for a moment, Reya's personality was very... confident. She was a bit conceited with herself, but I never really minded it. We turned to look back at Seraphine, whose eyes had widened in response. She looked like a mixture of recognition, fear, and admiration filled her. "Holy shit!" Seraphine exclaimed and put her hand out to pet our muzzle. "That's fucking wild, can't say I was expecting that. White wolves are incredibly rare." She said and then shifted to her own dark and copper colored wolf to continue our training.
At the end of our session I shifted back. Zayden was there to hand me a change of clothes but what was more surprising was Kaine standing behind him with a perplexed look on his face. As I pulled on the dark tanktop and leggings and slipped back into my shoes. He continued to have this hardened look on his face that I just couldn't read. "Come with me." He demanded as he reached out and took me by the hand. I could do little but follow as he practically dragged me back into the packhouse. A few minutes later, I found myself situated in a chair at the library as Kaine was feverishly digging through the books on the shelves. I didn't understand what had gotten into him all of a sudden, I sat there quietly as he dug through the books quickly. He seemed to be searching for something in particular.
"What's the name of your wolf?" He suddenly asked. I sucked in a deep breath, opening the water bottle that Seraphine had tossed me on my way up here. "Reya." I replied, Kaine suddenly paused for a moment and then reached his arm higher for a different set of books, apparently finding what he was looking for. He settled down at the table with the book in hand and flipped through the pages until he found what he was looking for. There was an illistrated image there that looked like my wolf and then an article that followed after.
"I don't know how to tell you this, but stark white wolves are extremely rare. Possessing a White Wolf is basically like being true Alpha Royalty. It's abnormal to have wolves of solid colors. A white one signifies not only pure blood but also primarily some unique special abilities. White wolves are like.. elders of our culture, stronger than the others but Reya in particuar. Well Wolves are given to us at a specific age. When we die, our wolves are passed along to another through the grace of the Goddess. Anyway I'll let you read it for yourself." Kaine said as he passed the book around in front of me so I could read the contents.
Reya - The White Guardian
Nicknamed Reya the Reaper, or Reya the Ghost Wolf. This She-Wolf is part of the sixteen Guardian Wolves. The originals of the beasts that have been granted to the Shifter Race. Primarily gifted to the True-Alpha shifters. She is known for her special abilities and above average strength that she gifts to her human counterparts. Unlike other Wolves, Reya is only reborn and gifted to a user once every hundred years. Reya's rebirth normally predates a time of great strife for her people, for each time this particular Guardian Spirit is reborn, War normally befalls the lands she is born to within a small frame of time. This Wolf is seen as The Ghost Wolf because where she goes, death and war will soon follow. A guardian of great ability, Reya is gifted to a user, at a time where her people are most vulnerable. If this Guardian Wolf is seen... Know that trouble is ahead...
I stared at the few words written in the article there, and I closed the book. I stared down at the title of the book. The Sixteen Guardian Wolves - Alexander Thorne
Reya, Is this true? I asked my wolf. There was quiet for a few moments before I felt her stir.
Basically, though the nicknames are quite insulting. They believe that my appearance triggers a sequence of events that ultimately ends with mass amounts of death. I've been reported as an Omen, but that isn't true. The Goddess chooses a host for us based on many different factors. If she fears for her children, she sends a Guardian, even if that war is between factions of her own children.
So, there's going to be some kind of serious war happening?
At this time, it's unclear. I can't tell the future, Valeria. I do feel that something big is about to happen. There is tension already in the air, I can feel it.
What are these special abilities though?
Don't jump the gun. I can tell you about them, but first you need to figure out who you are. I am only born to true Alpha children. Someone with real strength to handle my form. I can spell that out for you, you aren't, and never were an Omega. You need to find your father.
My Dad? He's just some Omega asshole that left me.
Sweet girl. Jordon isn't your father, nor is he Zayden's.
"What?!" Kaine said as he paced the library floor. He didn't seem happy with all the news that I repeated from Reya. This definitely muddled things. There was a Ascension event happening in just a week, and then a Luna Ascension ceremony happening the week after. I couldn't imagine that him learning that not only was I not some weak Omega, but that I have ties to some unknown Alpha, the news had to be hard. Not to mention that Reya being back, most definitely meant war. It had to be troubling news. "Who saw that wolf?" Kaine suddenly asked. I was surprised by his sudden reaction to all the news. I sucked in a deep breath. "Seraphine, maybe a few of the men training on the grounds." Kaine suddenly paused, his eyes kind of glossed over, he must've been linking his inner circle. When he finished with what he was doing, he took my face in his hands and looked deep into my eyes. "You don't show anyone that wolf until we figure this mess out. I've notified Seraphine, and I'll talk to my fa
I woke the following morning, expecting to find Kaine asleep beside me, as I had every morning. As I rolled over to lay my arm across him, I found him missing. I groggily woke up to the sound of distant screaming happening outside. I yawned, and quickly got up. I grabbed a fresh tanktop and a pair of jean shorts from the dresser. I dressed quickly and slipped on my flats. I tossed my hair up into a messy bun as I headed down the stairs. The halls were normally bustling at this time of morning but it seemed like everyone was outside. I slipped out the back door and saw the majority of the pack gathered outside. Kamilla seemed to be the one screaming as the guards held her in their grasp. Kaine stood at the head of this event with his father. Abel and Kamilla were both being secured by the guards. "You can't do this? Over that stupid whelp?! She's nobody! I'm the Alpha's son! Dad! You can't." Abel said between clenched teeth. Alpha Bryce had absolutely no emotion on his face. That was
I was a complete nervous wreck. I didn't want to see my mother this soon. The emotional and physical scars that I received from that woman were still fresh in my mind. I wanted nothing to do with her. Though a lot of what Kaine said made sense. It seemed that Reyna and Kaine were in agreement on that much. I needed to understand the truth about my past, in order to understand how to carve my future. This information not only impacted me, but my brother as well. It was his life too. I sighed, I had stood underneath the streams of water in the shower until it had basically ran cold. I hated my life before so much, and my mother being near made me feel as if that part of my life would never erase. I would continue be drew back to that sorry excuse for a mother figure. Kaine drew my attention towards him as he cleared his throat. He was standing just outside of the shower with a warm towel in his waiting hands. His lustful stare towards me did not escape my notice. "While I would love to
Abel's POV I couldn't believe this bullshit. I was exiled because of her? My own father renounced me because of that worthless whelp! She was nothing! She was hot, sure. Valeria is a hot piece of ass, that's understandable. Having a mate was more than that though. Someone with some standing in the pack. Valeria's mother was a drunk, and an abusive piece of shit at that. She was the laughing stock of the entire pack. There was absolutely nothing special about her beyond her looks. Pretty to look at, but mediocre in terms of strength. I haven't seen her wolf, but I can sense enough to know she sure ain't the strongest of the pack. She's undiciplined, and she could use a lesson in manners. She wouldn't make a strong Luna and that was what mattered right? Someone you'd be proud to have at your side. I'm not saying my choice in mate was the best either, but her family had power. She has strong genes, and she wasn't half bad to look at. Valeria is nothing! I don't understand how treating h
Kaine's POV There was so much to worry about these days. I enjoyed my mate, she called to me like no other. Her very scent, entranced my senses and made me hard just thinking about her. However, all these recent events. I was perfectly happy to accept her as she was but all this fated Guardian wolf, and being tied to Alpha Royalty it was.. a lot to take on. Clearly, prior to having a mate was much easier for me. The days of being to fuck and do as I wanted was easier. I can't bring myself to be unfaithful to my mate, and being so gentle and patient with my little mate was wearing on my nerves. I was on edge, with everything going on I was struggling to be the next great alpha. I want to be good for Valeria, but old habits die hard and with Abel gone I had nothing to hurl my internal rage at. My Alpha Ceremony was the day after tomorrow. There were so many things going on at once, and I know that Valeria must also be feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything. She hasn't had much intere
Even with the noise canceling ear muffs, Kaine still held his ears as I let forth a screeching howl that shattered all four of the tempered glass targets that Seraphine had set up. Reyna was proud of her work, pouncing around in my head with a strut. She was quite full of herself with that show of power. I looked back towards Kaine, as he slipped the headphones off and the look on his face was one of shock, and admiration. "That's some ability." He said softly, and made his way towards me. He pulled me in and kissed the top of my forehead. "I fear that one day you won't even need me to protect you. What will I do then?" Kaine asked with a chuckle. I grinned towards him. "I suppose protect the members of your flock. You're fixing to be Alpha after all." I told him. Kaine ruffled the top of my hair. "Son." Kaine and I both turned to look towards the Alpha as he made his way onto the field. How long had he been watching? It made me wonder. "Kaine, you and Valeria need to come with me."
Today was the day of the Alpha Ascension ceremony. I was finishing up pinning my hair, when I heard Kaine behind me. I could see him looking about me hungrily from his reflection in my vanity mirror. I set the curls in my hair with some light hairspray and finished my look by applying a thin layer of lipgloss and popping my lips. I was already dressed, I only needed to slip on my matching heels. Kaine looked very handsome in his well tailored suit. He looked like something spun out of one of those trashy billionaire stories. He made me ache in places, and all I wanted to do was tear that perfect looking suit off of him and force him to take me, though I resisted the urge. "You look hot as hell." He whispered in one of my ears as I stood to make my way to the closet. I retreived my shoes, attempting not to blush with his words. "I will escort you down, this is a day for us too. I'm gonna become Alpha and soon after, you'll be my Luna. Unless you're having second thoughts?" Kaine said
Kaine's POVI was the Alpha now. Every doubt I had in my mind about the things going on, were irrelevant. I was the Alpha, I had to lead my people, take care of my pack and most of all.. Protect my mate. Valeria grew stronger every fucking day, but I worried about her. That white wolf... There were stories about the white wolves. Reya is a Guardian Wolf.. and I have no doubts that Valeria will be strong. However, I don't want her to have to be strong because of my failure to protect her. I knew that Valeria was strong from the first moment I scented her. That aura.. her inner strength. I knew from the first moment that sure as hell wasn't some weak Omega. Wolves always want a strong wolf to be their mate, I couldn't have picked better for a strong Luna to stand at my side. I just worried. If Abel knew what she was, would he have rejected her like he did? Or would I had to have shared my precious little mate with that asshole of a brother of mine? The run was off in full swing. There
