A Gold Alpha For A Silver Alpha

Shouts woke me up, sounds of people running back and forth in and out of the mansion.

Fk, when will the day come when I wake up to birdsong or some such nonsense?

I got up still dizzy, shuffled to the bathroom and got into the shower.

I stayed under the artificial rain until my fingers wrinkled and even without much desire I got dressed with boxers, jeans, red shirt and some military boots.

I ran downstairs and found my house in a mess, my boys were running around carrying objects, my sofa, vases, etc.

I was surprised to see that Rae's pack was also helping, when Logan and Dannia came in surrounded by warriors as they kept throwing orders I got worried and followed them into the living room.

They were too busy to even notice my presence, I stood in the doorway, my room before with couches, tables, bookshelve was gone, instead it was something like an operations centre, and in the centre, was Rae.

Why am I not surprised to find her there?

Alpha.

I turn and see Noel bowing his head and approaching.

“What's going on here? -.

-Alpha Rae has asked to give him a space so he can direct.

-Lead what? -.

He shrugs as if to say no idea.

Determined I approach Rae to demand answers, I reach out to touch her shoulder, but a few inches away she takes a step away from me avoiding my touch, for some reason that makes my wolf growl.

I thought I told you today was about fixing your pack?

“Well I wasn't to know that you were going to turn my living room into a command centre, what's all this? -.

I ask curiously, looking at the papers in his hand that he was reading until I arrived, he turns his hand and prevents me from seeing anything.

-1 don't think it would do him any good to know what we're doing.

-Oh no? -.

-No.

-Look, I don't know what's going on, but it's obviously something important, you trusted me once, is it so hard for you to. it again? -.

She looked at me biting her lip, in a clear battle with herself, at the end she let out the air she was holding.

-We are at war.

Ah just that...

Wait.

WHAT?

-WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE AT WAR? -.

“First of all don't yell at me, second of all e-s-t-a-m-o-s, me and my manda, not us, third of all, what do you care? -.

-I'm sorry, against whom? I'm interested because this is my territory and I don't want it to be destroyed.

Liar

My wolf shouted at me but I didn't dare to answer him.

That doesn't matter to you Alpha, and don't worry, we won't use your pack as a battlefield.

He answered me in a cutting tone and I regretted what I said.

-1 didn’t mean it like that... -.

-Of course you did, don’t worry, I'll make sure that none of this will affect them”.

And without giving me a second glance he turned and continued to organise everything.

I must admit I couldn't help but feel guilty, his pack was about to go to war, many people would die and I was worried about my territory, I had sounded stupid.

Watching as Rae continued with her duties I withdrew from the room so as not to be in the way anymore, I was about to g back up to my room when Noel contacted me through the link.

Alpha we have a situation

What's going on?

The witch Caliope wishes to see you.

Where is she?

At the edge of the territory, on the west side.

I'm on my way there so no one comes near.

Yes, Alpha.

There are few witches alive, since the vampires began to hunt them out of spite, they fled to the most remote places of th planet, they are extremely powerful beings, itis a pity that they are in danger of extinction, all because of a lovers’ quar but that is another story that I will tell another time.

Caliope was just a little girl when I met her, I was just an omega patrolling at night in the borders, when a smell of dead came to my nostrils, four bloodsuckers were running after a little girl of no more than 10 years old, 1 didn't think a secon when I abandoned my post to save her, I killed the four vampires, but I was very badly wounded, I still remember being ir my wolf form agonizing in pain when that little girl with violet eyes approached me.

She whispered a thank you and kissed me on the head, I only know that after that I felt a great fire running through my whole body, I screamed until I tore my throat, and for a second I thought I was going to die, but no, that little girl had give me the greatest power she could, something that made me faster, stronger, smarter, she made me an Alpha.

Since then we have been friends, always protecting each other, three years have passed since that event, but Caliope has never joined the pack, arguing that it would be crossing the limits of her ancestors, I never understood, but I didn’t ask h for an explanation, she would give it to me when she was ready.

caliope.

-Hello Jason.

She greeted me with that glowing smile and melodious voice.

“What brings you here? ~. She wiped her smile and became serious.

I saw something.

-Tell me, what was it?

Darkness, death, guns, a big storm, and you standing in the middle of it.

“Me? ~ He nodded energetically.

“It was very clear, you had your claws out, and you were roaring, but..” He grimaced with his lips.

He grimaced with his lips.

-But what little girl? -.

~You weren't the only one, a howl sounded from the other side, and a large wolf appeared, black as night, and silver eyes but Jason.

Hearing the last, the hair on the back of my neck stood up.

Yes, little one?

-His soul was not that of a werewolf, there was nothing but cold and darkness inside him.

I swallowed hard and tried not to let my emotions show on my face.

Then what happened.

“Nothing, the last thing I remember is a putrid smell coming out of my nostrils before I woke up, I didn't waste a second, came here as soon as I could.

Thank you very much, Caliope, I'll keep an eye out for anything.

She nodded and gave me a worried look.

Please take care of yourself, I couldn't bear anything bad to happen to you.

Don't worry, I'll keep giving you headaches for at least another century.

She let out a gigele before disappearing into the trees.

When she left, 1 wiped the smile off my face and let the nerves run from my fingertips to the strands of my hair.

Mack, you heard.

Yes Jason.

You don't think he means...

There's no other silver-eyed creature we know of.

This doesn't bode well for me.

Neither do I.

We'd better find out who she is, and fast.

Calliope is afraid of her, did you see how she trembled when she described her she-wolf?

ves, we'll have words with the Alpha of Silver Moon, and I'm not leaving her camp until I get answers.

Without further ado I went back to the house, Rae would answer me, whether she liked it or not.
