In Keru, there was a boundary between the human and the werewolf territory. No werewolf was allowed to cross the boundary in order not to risk their identity, even the Alpha.
This rule was established to maintain order. Anyone who decided to disobey them was to be either exciled and become a rogue or killed depending on the gravity of the crime commited outside the boundary in the human territory.
Several wolf packs were established in the werewolf territory but the most powerful was the moon pack, Alpha Orion ruled the pack, he had two sons.
The eldest being Kye and the youngest Ace. Kye was to take over from his father as the Alpha at the age of 18.
He was powerful, some even say more powerful than his own father. But he let it get to his head. On his 18th birthday Kye and his friends decided to play a little game.
Michael a Beta of the moon pack, Kye's most trusted and his bestfriend decided to dare him.
"Cross the boundaries to the human territory, I dare you" Micheal said.
Kye being a man with so much pride in him could not let himself look weak and so he agreed. Only there was one problem.
Unknown to Kye it was going to be the full moon that night and he was still yet to master control of himself and his shifting.
Mind already made up he went into the human territory but only crossed the forest. As soon as he crossed the boundary it was already night time and as he looked up. Realization dawned upon him, at a distance he heard the laugh of people but it was too late he had already started shifting.
Bone cracking, sweat running down his torso, fangs coming out and eyes glowing blue he transformed. Losing control of his mind he attacked the family.
Killed both mother and father but only managed to bite the little girl who fell into a ditch, tears falling down her eyes and mouth wide open and letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
He ended up falling in the ditch with the girl but he broke his leg and was unable to move. After the full moon settled. Kye came back to his senses. He looked around him spotting the little girl sweating and trembling.
Before he could move, shadows loomed over him. Pack warriors from the moon pack surrounded him. Kye knew he was in a mighty trouble.
The pack warriors cleared the scene before any human could stumble upon it and they also took the girl with them. Upon reaching the moon pack, he was taken to the council.
Alpha Orion did not kill his son but only exciled him. Beta Michael on the other hand was killed. Kye was furious because he was not given a chance to defend himself.
"You should count yourself lucky that it wasn't death. The council was quite eager to kill you. You let your pride and strength get the better of you Kye. I never want to see you within the pack ever again” .
Kye was sent out of the pack with a venomous and angry heart, never to be heard from again and his brother Ace replacing him as next in line.
The human girl was taken to the pack house, her rebirth taking place slowly. Her eyes slowly opened to reveal a warm shade of yellow.
"Omega" one of the Pack warriors tasked to look after her whispered.
He informed the Luna of the pack Isis, of the new development.
"Even as a werewolf, the little human still chose the lowest werewolf rank. Always proves how weak and pathetic they will always be." one of the warriors whispered.
"Watch your tongue." Isis said turning to them. The warriors bent their heads, cowering in fear at their Lunas voice.
"The moon goddess chooses who becomes what. It will do you good not to question her. Take the girl to the servant chambers and tell the sage to go down there as well.
As soon as she wakes up her memories have to be erased. Gertrude will look after her from now on" she said.
AT THE SERVANT CHAMBERS
"She's so little, Look at her mama" Micha whispered.
"Micha, down." Getrude said, glaring at the boy.
Suddenly, a tiny scared voice whispered.
"Mummy, daddy" she said sweat dripping down her face and body rising up from the bed in fright. Gertrude immediately sat next to her.
"Hush, little one. You're all better now." She said lovingly.
"Who are you? Are you the one who killed my parents are you that beastly thing" she said screaming and moving away from poor Gertrude, crying profusely.
Gertrude looked with pity. But knowing what she had to do she spoke up.
"Micha, call the sage. Right now!" She said
"Yes mama". Micha whispered.
"What is that? What do you want to do to me? The girl said about to run when suddenly her legs stopped moving. The sage came in, hands halting the little girl. He bent down to look at her, staring directly into her eyes.
"Listen to me, you do not remember anything. You are the only daughter of Gertrude, born an Omega just like her. Your name is Freya and your days are filled with helping your mother around the pack household and playing around the fields." He said backing away slowly.
"What is your name, little one" he said.
"Freya" she repeated.
Gertrude was left to care for her.
One Afternoon, Freya played around the field waiting for her mother to call her in for dinner. She noticed a boy sitting on the floor, looking quite sad. She sat next to him and touched his shoulder, the boy looked up at her.
Silver and Green eyes starring and gazing at each other. Freya offered him a flower and he smiled.
"Don't be sad again, what is your name?" The little girl asked.
"Ace" he responded.
10 years laterFREYA POV As a little girl I was always silent, never talked to anyone but my brother, my mother and Alpha Ace."Alpha Ace" it feels so weird calling him that. Even though he has told me that he'll always be Ace to me. Respect still had to be given when it was due or else I would risk the other Servants saying I was being favoured by him too much even though I wasn't his mate. Ace and I have been friends since I saw him in that field. His presence has always been comforting to me, his voice like a soothing balm to my soul and his touch nerve wrecking no matter how little it was. I've always had a crush on him. He was different from other werewolves around and no matter a large his rank was. He always treated everyone equally. He was the only one apart from my brother who liked spending time with me. No one wanted to be friends with me. I was always different. Mainly because I haven't been able to shift yet. Between the ages of 15-17 little werewolves should be able
FREYA POV Today was the annual fair. An event that brought various packs close to celebrate together and strengthen alliances further. It was usually a busy day during the fair. Servants would scurry around just to make sure everything was prepared. Gamma leaders would make the pack warriors practice in case there was any form of attack on the pack. But that rarely happened. "Freya, the Alpha requested for you to clean his room. You must not keep him waiting" Lydia said looking less than pleased. She muttered something under her breath but I was unable to catch it. I didn't bother to dwell on it. I made my way to Ace's room. I was excited to see him. I missed his warmth and comfort. I opened the door to find him shirtless and looking out the window. My face suddenly became warmer. As if noticing my presence he turned, a bright smile growing on his face."What are you doing over there? Come closer," he said. As I came closer I noticed his eyes looked darker, hungrier. But it was go
FREYA POV The pack warriors, all led the servants and little pups to safety while the leaders of the packs were taken to the upper chambers. I was less worried about myself. Ace was in danger. The attackers had wolfsbane according to what I heard. I just wanted to see him and make sure he was safe but that wasn't possible. Mother hugged me as we both sobbed in fear together."I hope your brother will be safe," she said as I hugged her tighter.THIRD POVThe Pack warriors managed to fend off the attackers, it was revealed that the attackers were Rogues. The damage done was much. Some warriors were taken down because of the wolfsbane and some servants were killed before they could make it to safety. Injured warriors were taken to be treated. The wolfsbane made it harder for them to heal fast. Ace lay on his bed, sweating and immobile as his mother lay next to him. He got most of the damage since it went straight through his abdomen, thus affecting him more. The sage entered the room
FREYA POV It was today, the day Ace and I were to become one. Bound to each other! The day of our nuptials.The past two days were busy for the whole pack, between making efforts to find out how to get the rogue werewolves responsible for the attack and preparations for the wedding. Things have been hectic. But today the pack decided to put the former under the rug in the mean time and concentrate on the latter."You look beautiful," I heard my mother say behind me. I looked at my white gown and I brushed my hand on the dress."Thank you, mother" I said smiling a little at her."Are you okay, dear? Aren't you excited?""I am. It's just that I fear that Isis hasn't accepted me yet," I say solemnly. Mother came closer and touched my cheek. "My dear, do not worry about that. Someday, she'll come to terms with the changes. You are going to be the next Luna of this pack. All you have to do is to be smart and courageous, show her that you can take on the role and most of all, do not l
FREYA POV"Ask your husband why his brother Kye was truly exciled" I sat at the bedside mirror, Isabelle combing my hair while I thought about what Ralia told me tonight. What did she mean? Why would she tell me that? What do I need to know? Was his excile connected to me somehow? All these questions kept swirling in my head."Mistress?" I heard Isabelle call out to me. I instantly came out of my trance and looked up at her."Are you OK? Your mind seems to be lost. I was just worried. I know its not my place to ask." She said bowing her head in a shy manner."Isabelle, you can call me Freya, no need for formalities and thank you for asking. I'm okay though so you don't have to worry about me." I said smiling at her and touching her hand. Isabelle helps me to wear my silk robe. It was quite short and transparent. I blushed when I looked at it."Your mother picked it out, she said she wanted you to look alluring for tonight." Isabelle said. A cheeky smile on her face. I knew what sh
ACE POV10 years ago I've always looked up to my big brother, always wanted to be like him. Strong, confident, brave and so much more. My brother always fascinated me. Since I was young he was always there for me, always defending me, always guiding me. He was kind to people around him, I always admired that. I liked it. Until things started changing when we got older. I was 12 at the time and he was 17. It was already finalized that he would be the next Alpha after my father. Kye started getting consumed by all the power that he was granted. He started taking advantage of all the liberties, started breaking the rules as he saw it fit. He started becoming reckless, I would attribute some of it to his bestfriend Micheal. Kye was dangerous by himself but when Micheal was in the picture he was terror.Kye and Micheal would lay with pack maids as they saw fit, disrespect and treat people like they were less than. I thought when he would finally get a mate that all the sleeping around
ACE POV "How Is the training coming along?" I asked Devon."Everything is going well, we started planning our new defences last night as soon as Darren sent your orders. The warriors are in shape to start training today." He said"That's good" I replied. I decided to see how the training was going this morning. I couldn't stop thinking about last night with Freya and her questions. I wanted to figure out what made her want to know about Kye so much. Did someone tell her something? "It's been a long time since we've trained together Ace, would you like to practice with me?" Devon said with a smile on his face."I actually came here to do that as well. I wouldn't want to get rusty. Especially now." I said"Then you wouldn't mind if we had a plus one" As soon as he said that he looked behind him and called out to someone."Yuri, the Alpha deems it fit to train with us today. Come join us" he shouted. I haven't talked to Yuri since the fair. I wonder what he feels about the whole situa
FREYA POV The next day was busy. Today was the full moon hunt and everyone was preparing for it. The Pack maids were all cleaning the sheds, the pack warriors were preparing themselves to hunt and among them was Ace. He and Devon would be leading the hunt today. As the Alpha it was his responsibility. Before we were married, I would usually watch him train when cleaning the shed with the other maids, it was improper of me because he was with Ralia and I felt foolish doing that. But now we're together and nothing was stopping me from looking at him all I wanted. I walked towards the window to look at him and there he was, shirtless and handsome as ever. As if on instinct he rose up his head and he saw me staring at him. He smirked a little and I smiled back leaving the window and sitting down on the bed once more. It was days like these that I felt disheartened, because I couldn't shift into a werewolf, I would usually spend my time with the children while we heard sounds of roar
