Chapter 1 Prologue

• She is tired,
• It has been seven days, seven whole days of running, to where? you would ask, but the runner doesn't even know. Stupid.
• Seven days ago was her eighteenth birthday, the day that was supposed to be the best day of her life, the day she has been looking forward to since she was five.
• But here she is, in the middle of nowhere, clothes torn and dirtied, hair a mess, feet bare and battered, seven days after her birthday.
• Honestly she expected her mate to be reasonable and kind, not some stupid push over.
• Heaving and messed up, she decided to catch her breath, her feet hurt badly and her heart feels like it was going to burst out of her chest.
• She stumbled and dropped to the floor to catch her breath, her head was hot, heart pounding against her rib cage.
• Blindly running her hand around her neck, she grasped the pendant of the necklace her father gave her seven days ago, even without looking she knew it was beautiful.
• The necklace glowed a bright yellow, warming its way into her heart, as if to comfort her for all the pain she was feeling, for some reason she felt the presence of her mother from the necklace.
• The necklace glowed red in an instant sending distress signals and she knew something was wrong, behind her a leaf crunched. She immediately got to her feet and blindly faced the direction of the sound.
• " Who's there," she said trying to sound less scared. What she got as a reply was a growl, not like any other animal growl she was used to.
• " No" she whispered, she knew exactly what it was, and now she could hear them,
• They are everywhere.
• The imposter has come!.
• More leafs crunched, the snarls getting closer, and the hairs on her skin are at attention, she couldn't die now, and she #doesn't want to die now.
• She has been rejected and hurt, she felt like her whole life was a waste, her entire family had been killed, and she felt like giving up but something keeps telling her to keep moving, for some reason she doesn't want to die now.#
• She lifted her possibly torn gown and felt around the thigh, there she found it,
• She brought out her father's special dagger and got into a fighting position,
• She was blind but she wasn't weak.
• Remembering all that her father taught her for situations like this, she decided to put it into practice, She was about to lunch an attack when Something caught her attention, or rather someone. She caught a whiff of pastry coming from his direction, he was approaching them and fast.
• It seems the imposter hasn't taken notice of him yet but she could smell and sense him, after all he wasn't that light on his feet.
• Why was he even in the forest with pastries, come to think of it he did always smell like pastries, that fool, she even smell berries from him, she almost laughed at this.
• She was distracted trying to figure him out temporarily forgetting the impending danger.
• One of the imposters launched at her taking advantage of her ignorance "Watch out" a deep baritone voice screamed in panic, she blinked her gray eyes subconsciously snapping out of her trance but it was too late.
• "NO!!"
• Chapter one The screams of the Luna echoed throughout the park, everyone was anxious, the maids were running here and there just trying to make themselves useful and also trying their very best to evade the nervous new father.
• "Ahhhhh!!" Loud painful screams were bursting out of Luna's mouth, who said that childbirth was not painful even for a werewolf.
• The alpha jumped from his seat and started pacing, he could not sit still, he was restless he felt the pain his mate was feeling and it was immense. If only he could take away some of her pain or even all of it.
• He was supposed to be strong, this wasn't Luna's first child but each time the baby dies, leaving behind a broken Luna and a grieving alpha.
• He hoped and prayed to the moon goddess that this child was going to stay, if not he# didn't know what he was going to do.
• He stopped amid pacing when the screams suddenly stopped, the door burst open and one of the mid wives came running " Alpha-" the Midwife did not even complete what she said before he dashed out the door carelessly shoving her out of the way. The midwife stumbled carelessly fortunately she was caught by a guard.
• The midwife laughed at the alpha's behavior He walked hastily to his room where his wife was in held, he pushed the door open to reveal his weak wife, the smell of blood immediately assaulted his nose, he saw his wife sprawled on the bed with blood between her legs, luckily she was already healing.
• " Hi," he said to her as he approached her bed, she gave him a weak smile before responding.
• " Hi" he held her hand softly as they stared at each other.
• " Are you ok?" he asked her and she nodded slowly, she looked beside her, and on the bed was the most beautiful baby the alpha had ever seen.
• With skin as white as snow, black hair with a streak of white in the front, and small soft pink lips, he did not know what the color of her eyes would be but he hoped it was the same as her mother.
• " It's a girl," the Luna said with a smile, the alpha hurried to his daughter's side in excitement, and he gently carried her like she was made of glass, as soon as he touched his daughter her eyes opened up to smile at him, he was happier when he saw that her eyes were just like her mother's, if not more beautiful if he was not biased.
• " She's so beautiful" he commented making his wife giggle, she was now sitting up having regained some of her strength.
• " Of course she is, look at us, she's ours, ours to keep, ours to protect" she stated, he nodded still in awe of his daughter's beauty.
• His tiny mouth opened in a yawn, stretching her small chubby arms out, his oval face stretching out, after yawning, she paused to smile at her daddy, the alpha was on cloud ten.
• " She's strong" he commented when the baby stretched her hand to his face.
• " Yes, she's here to stay" Luna said with a tired yawn, at that moment the alpha thought that the baby and mother were like twins . They both smiled at him with shimmering grey-blue eyes and dimples.
• " Alright sir we have to clean her up now," a maid said interrupting their family moment the alpha was reluctant, he didn't want to give them his daughter she was just too Precious.
• " Alright daddy, let them do their job" his wife scolded him earning an eye roll in return.
• The happy scenes suddenly changed, he was now outside of the palace, standing helplessly by the side watching his wife struggle with the witch, his wife was at an advantage being bigger and stronger than the witch His wife was pressing the witches head into the ground and digging her nails into the witches chest, she was taking her time in killing the witch planning on letting her suffer.
• Only if she had known she would have killed hee faster " Luna you shall die" the witch wheezed out before coughing out blood, with an angry growl the Luna ripped out the witch's heart.
• The witch stretched out her hand towards the knife and it floated towards her.
• It all happened in the blink of an eye in front of the alpha.
• He pushed his daughter to the hands of a guard and ran towards his wife, even with his super speed the knife was already stuck to his wife's heart,
• The witch smiled as the luna fell over, black veins were spreading from where the knife was to different parts of her body.
• " NO!!" The alpha held his wife in his arms, he couldn't believe this, how did it all come to this, he felt like his chest was being ripped open, his wife must be feeling worse.
• The witch looked him straight in the eye and said.
• **Before the son rises, your wife would be no more and, you would face fear when your baby is not near, as the darkness covers the sky, the black cloud would cover your child's eye**
• The witches laughter echoed in his head, mocking him " NO, SHUT UP!!" the alpha jerked from the floor startling his daughter, she jumped, immediately picking up her knife by the bed side. He remembers that they fell asleep in the middle of a movie they were watching, or rather when he was watching and she was listening.
• Humans are really creative.
• " It's ok" he assured her, he saw the obvious relief on her face as she slowly put down the knife where she could easily get it.
• He was proud of how vigilant his daughter is.
• " Why did you scream like that" she turn to him looking directly at him. His mind went back to the witch's curse.
• " Nothing dear go back to sleep" he coerced. She nodded and turns her back to him before closing her eyes.
• The alpha laid on his back staring at the ceiling. That day always plagued him, the day his wife died, the day his daughter turned blind and he couldn't do anything. His dreams always starts with a happy scene, why does it feel like the witch could see him through the dream.
• He looked at the side on the wall was a small picture, a picture if his wife smiling at him while holding her bulging belly, it was the last picture taken of her.
• If only he had helped her that day. Or maybe if he was quicker on his feet.
• The alpha sighed and turned to face his daughter. He knew no amount of grieving would bring her back, the only reason he was still alive was because of the girl sleeping soundly beside him.
• If he dies who was going to take care of his precious daughter, maybe when she finds a mate he wouldn't be so worried, her eighteenth birthday is around the corner so it won't be long.
• The alpha sighed before laying on his side It won't be long before he become less important.
• ***********
• Somewhere in the hidden part of the world, a man is seen in a red robe that covers from his head to his toes, he was standing on a platform addressing a crowd of angry-looking people in sim robes He was looking into a crystal ball watching everything that happened with a smile on his face.
• " Hah," he laughed when Luna was stabbed. With a flick of his wrist, the crystal ball disappeared.
• " Nice, real nice," he said as a black cloud arise from the ground, the witch from the palace appeared with a smile, fixing her head back in place.
• " It is time to give my children what they want" as his statement dropped a deafening roar echoed in the room.
• " Give it to me," he said stretching his hand towards the witch, she places the bloody knife and babies hair in his hand carefully, he smiled and walked to a big boiling pot in the middle of the platform, he dropped the hair inside and used the knife to stare, the liquid in the pot which was previously green turned blood red.
• " It is done, come to my children and drink, we would become indestructible, with the spirit wolf dead and her child no more we would rule" the was another deafening noise as thousands of people lined up to drink pot which seems to not decrease with the number of people drinking. The witch shifted in her feet when she heard his statement.
• Immediately the first person who drank it roared, he grew twice in size, turning himself into a bull with huge horns, red fiery eyes, long sharp tails, claws as long as a pencil, and canine longer than aber tooth.
• He was hideous, but he seems to enjoy the new power flowing into his blood streams, he felt indestructible.
• The master smiled evilly and said " Rise my children, the war has just began"
