* Nelika *My father has been in a foul mood ever since the talk he had with Alpha Xander and his Beta. Today he called out a meeting for all the warriors in our pack and that includes me. The higher rank warriors are present and on the lower ranks who just got in, I am present with Walter and Brad including the others. I can feel my father's controlled anger when he comes home yesterday which keep me wondering all night. "Yesterday I talk with the Alpha of the West in our border, Alpha Xander. He told me about a dead body of a rogue who came from our direction and yet there is no incident report for me. Now I want to ask you all about the missing prisoner in our jail because it matches the description with the rogue's dead body found in the Western pack territory!"The higher rank warriors led by Beta Loki murmured at each another. This is something serious, and within our pack too."No exceptions, one by one must speak to me and Beta Loki in my office. Everyone knows that I do not
* Nelika *The moon is shining brightly above the sky and the howling of the wolves echoes through the night. Since I am tasked to do the patrol on the borders, I can't just sit still and admire its beauty above. This is the first time I am taking a serious matter directly ordered by my father, and I have no complaints rather I am eager to be a part of the warriors who maintain the peace and protect the cold mountain pack against our enemies."Nelika, it seems that this is just an ordinary evening so it's not a problem if you wanted to just sit there while I go ahead to check the perimeter.”My eyes went to the wolf speaking, Chad a warrior who serves the pack for a longer time than me. His wolf is slightly bigger than mine. He is nice but I don't like it when he tells me not to do anything.“No, let me go with you.”He started running so I follow him into the woods and beside the road. It's a quiet evening but my father said not to let our guard down whenever we are on watch.“Have y
* Alpha Xander *"Who's checking the perimeter tonight?"Beta Alex looks at me with a smile, he isn't worried or anything because the evening is peaceful, and there have been no issues within our territory for many years. We're both confident it would stay this way because we will make it stay this way."I've tasked the young warriors led by Martin to run towards the borders. They will give me the update later on, do you want me to report it back to you after?"He is about to leave after our recent meeting in my office. The subject is not with us but with what happened at the borders involving the cold mountain pack. Alpha Zero needs to investigate inside his pack and I am going to make sure that my borders are always monitored."I am going for a hunt, maybe I'll do a quick check out there too."Beta Alex's eyes sparkled with amusement when he looks at me however I pretended that it was nothing. I know he is thinking about the white she-wolf who disturbed my thoughts for many nights.
* Alpha Xander *"You have saved my daughter twice, I owe you Alpha Xander and I am not the kind of wolf who loves owing something to somebody. So, tell me what you want or need in return there must be something I could do for you."I look at his face, the serious expression, and the grief he was torn between two choices when I told him that his daughter is in danger. But now that we are back in the cold mountain pack Alpha house he looks even more agitated."Alpha Zero now is not the good time to be asking me this, your wife is in labor. Please think about her instead of what you owe me. Nelika needs you too."He stiffened, and then the howling of the wolves from the upper floor is heard all around. In addition to the cold mountain pack, his Luna had just given birth."Alpha Zero, it's a son! Luna Jasmin just give birth to a son!"The pack nurse hurried down the stairs and give the announcement. Alpha Zero stood up and everyone inside the living room too. They wore a smile on their f
* Nelika *It's the second day since my baby brother is born and my mother is still asleep although the pack doctor told us that she will be waking up today however I am so worried about her and my father too. I woke up and look at the scene outside my window, I couldn't join the pack training for a week which made me unhappy. My feet are recovering and my neck is as well but I can still remember what happened, everything is vivid in my mind.The soft knock on my bedroom door disturbs my thoughts and brought me back to reality."Come in."My eyes glances at the door when it swung open and my Aunt came in carrying a tray full of fruits and waffles for breakfast. I felt the rush of excitement rush through me."How is our patient doing?"A smile immediately appeared on my lips when our eyes meet. "Aunt Ayah! Good morning!"I stand up and meet her after she place the tray in my table. She grabs me and let her arms engulf me in a tight embrace."Beta Loki told me what happened Nelika, I wa
* Nelika *It took a couple of seconds before one of them opened their mouth to speak. I sat beside my mother while she holds my hand and my father started talking about the day I was born. Every detail of the story when they both has to go in the Langston Palace and my mother started the labor. She almost lost her life. Alpha Xander has donated his blood to save both me and my mother. That took quite a lot to accept knowing that my father is one of the strongest Alpha of all the regions and yet we have to accept the help coming from a younger Alpha."It wasn't just your mother who has her life on the line that day Nelika, you too. I almost lost both of you if not for the help of Alpha Xander who is willing to save you and your mother. He didn't even asked anything in return. Damn that boy for being so self-reliant and now I owe him once again because he saved you similarly."There is no regret or real anger in his voice. My father just acted like he didn't like it but we all know tha
* Nelika *Five days after I was attacked on the borders of the cold mountain pack and finally my injuries are healed. I can finally walk properly and my scratches have faded. However, my father has still no evidence of who is messing with the prisoners. And Alpha Xander is planning to visit us for the investigation follow-up. He wanted to help my father and I am not thrilled about it. I wanted to help him and be my father's great warrior, we don't need another Alpha to help solve the crime in our pack."Nelika, tomorrow Alpha Xander and his trusted warriors will come and visit. I invited them to stay at our guest house on the far northern border. It is near the border of the west. The log cabin is already restored I made sure they will be comfortable.”My eyes went up to meet my father's gaze. He seemed to be taking the idea happily."That sounds great Dad, it's been a long time since we used that cabin."He nodded while my mother listens to us in between chewing her food. It was abo
* Alpha Xander *The house stood tall in between the forest which is near the border of the cold mountain and the western pack. I halted the ford truck not far from the entrance then look around before getting down followed by two of my warriors. The surroundings are calm but I could hear some noises at a farther distance."Alpha, maybe we came too early for the agreed time."I moved my gaze to my warrior and shake my head. "It's alright Eddy we are just on time, I could hear Alpha Zero's car on the way."I choose two of my warriors to come with me and decided to leave Beta Alex to watch over the pack while I'm away. When the engine gets near my warriors move to stay beside me and wait for the Alpha of the North to arrive. Alpha Zero is feared and well respected in all different regions but his hands are full right now and I wanted to help him. The issue is within our territories since the body of a dead wolf is found in my area and the case recently involved his daughter."Good morn
