Chapter 3

ZACH'S POV

Lucina came out of my car after smiling sweetly at me and entered her apartment. I stared at her closed door for a while before I looked away. She never seize to amaze me, she is the most valiant woman I've ever seen and is the best in her game.

Ever since she joined my pack, no one seems to be able to defeat her except the Alpha of course, she always succeed in all her assignments but I am a bit worried about this assignment. She is going to see the Elders who killed her family and her pack and I am worried she might lose her control and try to attack. The Elders wouldn't think for a moment to spare her.

I turned the car on and drove off. I got to the pack home and met Celine standing by the door post watching me as I drove in, as if she have been waiting for me. She had a blank stare and I couldn't tell what she was thinking and if she was worried or anxiously waiting for a reply. I parked my car and headed towards her.

"Where is Lucina?" she asked looking behind me.

"She's at her apartment. She told me to drop her off there and that she won't be coming to the pack house this night."

She stood straight and sighed, "What about the mission? What was her reply?"

"She said she is capable to take on the mission." I sighed and looked at her. "She was getting excited and I am worried about that. What if she loses her control when she sees the Elders who killed her pack and attack them? They will have no second thought in killing her. You know how vicious they can be. I am worried about her. She has waited all her life for this opportunity to see them again and this will be the first time she will see them after eight years."

Celine patted my shoulder, "She said she can handle it, let her handle it herself I am sure she will do a great job. She has prepared her life and trained herself for this moment so she wouldn't lose her control. Let's trust Lucina on this one."

I shrugged and made to leave when she stopped me. "Son you also have a mission." She faced me. "You are going to drive her to the celebration and assist her in her mission."

I smirked, "Says someone who said we should trust her on this mission."

She smiled back, "Even though I want her to handle it, I am worried about that. Like you said, the Elders are vicious so helping her from a distance wouldn't be bad right?"

"Mother you never seem to stop amazing me." I said and walked in.

Not only is Celine the pack's female Alpha but also my mother. My father left the pack when I was still little and never returned. I forgot everything about him and how he looked like. My mom was heartbroken but when she saw he wasn't coming back, she took on the role of an alpha to our very small pack and she have been doing a great job. We have increased in number and strength now.

I waved at the pack members who were drinking themselves to stupor.

"Come join us, Zach." one of them said.

"I will pass, Dave. I need a goodnight rest and drinking is not part of my list."

"What about the hot, sexy Lucina? Why isn't she with you?"

"You don't wanna let her hear those words you just called her unless you want to be sent to your early grave." I said and entered my room.

CELINA POV

I looked at the sky and took in a deep breath trying to calm my nerves. The full moon will be out in two weeks and we have to know what the Elders are planning to do. Lucina is the only one fit for the job but I am a bit worried about her even though I tried to be strong and trust her on this assignment. I know she will be able to nail this one, but the Elders are vicious men and might harm her. I am worried about her safety.

Few years ago, after our fight with a rebellious pack, we took Lucina in and made her part of us. From the moment she walked into the pack's home, I felt a connection with her and the need to protect her with everything I got. I am not backing down, I am going to protect her until the last breath I will take on earth.

Unfortunately, she was a victim of the popular Full Moon Pack extermination by the council of Elders and was the daughter of the pack Alpha. The full Moon was the leading Pack with strong wolves, wise and dauntless. They were feared by all who heard about them, cause they were the leading wolves. There was a rumor about the moon goddess descendant amidst them, but no one knows how true it was even till this day. All we could tell was that the New Moon Pack were the pack led by the council to kill the Full Moon Pack leaving no surviver. Lucina managed to escape, bit joined a rebellious pack who treated her as a slave. We all know that the New Moon Pack wanted the position of the Full Moon Pack to be the strongest and most feared Pack and that was why they, along with the Elders attacked the Full Moon Pack, killing them all. Edmund was the eighteen years old Alpha of the New Moon Pack at that time and everyone knows how ambitious he can get and his hand in the attack, that is why we have to find out what they are planning and get prepared for whatever they had in mind and the pack they planned on attacking next during the full moon.
