Chapter 5

Anamali also commented something about it, but my father avoids the subject and no one tells me anything but her."

"Mali? I remember her, the beta's daughter, I have heard of her. It seems your father has personally trained her these past few years, so if something happens before you show up she would take over as alpha. I saw you together. What's going on? "Jordan smiles, getting a punch in the arm from Logan.

"I don't know, I can tell you that we can be friends and that you are trustworthy. They were very beautiful, long red hair and green eyes, one with wavy hair and the other with straight. They were different from what he had seen before, but there was something about them.

But Anamali calls his attention in another way, and what intrigues him is her disappearance. He sees her entering the pack, looking to the sides all the time, picks up her cloak and leaves.

"Where is she going at this hour?" Jordan asks.

"Shall we follow her?" Selene asks

She walked ahead and met up with a group of wolves who were not alone but accompanied by an unknown man.

"You came" the voice sounded cold and his face serious." I need to know what you are willing to do to get my help." He comments in a cold voice.

"I will do what you say Leonardo" Answers "I will help you" Marcus says hugging her.

Anamali takes a paper with notes on what to do.

" Cell phones and technology can be traced, paper can't".

Anamali goes out and finds Alysha, the two transform and go out hunting, coming back at dawn, when Mali sees Leonardo and Blackverus talking, she feels a movement behind her and after turning she sees Logan, Selene, Jordan and Saline. The redhead, realizing Anamali's gaze, grabs Logan's arm.

"What are you doing here?" You question them

"I'm the one asking, hanging out with banished people, mystery men e...." Anamali covers Logan's mouth with her hands, and they all see Blackverus with Leonardo talking and showing papers to each other and Jake, Lunaris and Farkas appear talking about something but soon stop the conversation watching around making the young men hold even their breathtaking small steps backwards.

"I wonder what they were doing? It looks so suspicious ? " Logan asks Anamali who says nothing and just turns and leaves.

" Hey ? Logan asked you a question" Jordan comments

" And I suggest you find out on your own, I won't say anything in front of them" Mali answers with a serious face.

"Are you still sore? It's been a long time Ann" Selene says with a half smile

"Or is it ... jealousy ? "Finishes in a tone of provocation

" Are you jealous Mali?" Logan asks, approaching, but this makes her angry. "Of whom, of you? It's enough to babysit a spoiled future alpha who isn't even a wolf. Shouts Anamali attracting attention and the alpha and Luna appear along with Farkas and Blackverus.

"What, nanny? What have you done so far to help me? Hunting ? Like ripping out the innards of an animal? Or rather ..." Logan raised his tone of voice "Like being a worthless she-wolf, everyone doing something and explaining to me how the pack started and everything else but you who were in the forest alone." He finishes and sees the girl's eyes turn an almost grayish blue, making him go backwards in fear.

Anamali feels her blood boil, a strength takes over her, something surreal that she couldn't control.

The youths see Jake, Logan's father, transform at the same time as her and exert the power of the alpha stopping her from screwing up, when she returns to normal she notices something wrong. A guttural, wild scream is heard and Blackverus tells everyone to go and let him take care of her.

"Is it happening? " Farkas asks, totally afraid for his daughter.

They just glimpse transformed Anamali running through the meadow and Blackverus transforming and going after her, looking back, Logan saw two wolves chasing her.

The girl was running, this transformation was the most painful of all, for she could not control herself.

Logan was worried and noticed her parents, the exchange of glances. " We need to talk, Logan..." Those words, he hated to hear his mother say that.

"Mom? I didn't do that!" he grumbled, sitting down on the couch.

"We need to talk about you, the heir. I know it's a difficult and important task and will require sacrifices. But you wolf, your mother put him to sleep when he was 2 years old to prevent you from turning into the human world. " Jake begins sitting down in front of his son.

"I never knew you, my mother never talked about you" Logan raises his tone of voice "Instead he was treating Anamali as his daughter"

"Logan, if you want people to treat you like an adult, be one first and don't behave like a child" Lunaris scolds his son

" No, he is right that she took that place, Farkas would settle matters around the reservation, and she would play at being the beta in her father's place. I have always been close to Farkas, and it is common to be close to his daughter." Jake said it all calmly

"What made me the one chosen to be an heir?" he asks

" I have told you the legend, thousands of times. " Lunaris comments "The heiress and the guardian, soul mates prevented from being together, the first soul mates in history, they say she committed suicide after her companion died in battle, neither could stand life without the other..." Luna tells smiling

" I've heard that nonsense a thousand times mom!" Logan interrupts her" My sleeping wolf as everyone says, how do I wake him?" He asks that everyone avoids

"We don't know, so we wait for the elders to send us answers." Jake says as Farkas enters with dinner.

" Sorry, I came to bring dinner" The heir notices the blonde is missing and didn't know if he should ask

"And Anamali? Where is she?" He asks and hears the beta take a deep breath.

" I don't know, it has never happened before, and it is not common for a wolf to refuse to stop even under the interference of an alpha. I apologize on her behalf, alpha" The beta says, looking distressed

"We understand" Lunaris supports his friend

" She may have something to do with the elder wolf Farkas, and she knows it" Jake speaks, even though he knows his friend will deny it to the end.

"So for what reason did she lose control...will Blackverus know the answer?" Farkas says and the subject ends there. They didn't want to get into it too much because of Logan.

They had dinner in silence and after that they all collect themselves, tomorrow will be a long day, probably of many meetings and preparations for many things, including the human police investigating deaths, they feared for Anamali messing up out of control, they were thinking it's better to leave her in rehab and change Logan's trainer.

They agreed in their text message conversation, many heard howls and grunts, all feared the worst, direct interference by the elders of the great circle. Only on three occasions in history had this happened, when the heir Blairly died, when the guardian was captured by Russian researchers, and when the heir Antony and the guardian Bruno died in the great war.

Farkas didn't even sleep wondering where his little girl was, if she was okay, he had naps during the early hours of the morning, woke up at four in the morning after twenty minutes with the door of the room being opened, Anamali being carried by Marcus.

"Blackverus asked me to bring her here safely and said he would talk to you in the morning "He delivers her into the arms of her father who carries her to her room after locking the front door. His little girl, she reminded him a lot of his mother and that made him miss her, her death was painful and all that was left was the cape.

At dawn everyone expected to see Anamali training Logan, but this did not happen and instead Farkas was training him. The girls still sigh these days at Farkas' physical size, a light brunette with tribal tattoos across his chest, brown hair and brown eyes.

Anamali woke up at eleven o'clock in the morning, she had never slept so much and her headaches were strong, apart from the fact that she couldn't remember the night before after a fight with Logan. She lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, the more she thought about the night the less she remembered, she brushed her teeth after the coffee left by her father to take her medicine. She wasn't willing to go out and face people, she didn't know if she hurt anyone and couldn't remember anything. Mali sits by the window and observes the people outside, they were in the center of everything and facing the alpha's house. Her cell phone was there beside her receiving worried messages, Anamali picks it up to throw away when she receives a call from an unknown number.

"Hello?" She asks after answering

"Anamali Demnser, we have invited you to a meeting at our rehab clinic, until then your activities at fullmoon are suspended for psychological evaluation." The robotic and impersonal voice sounds strange. In fact, everything seemed out of place, he always knew how to control himself and never lost control.

Why didn't Uncle Jake or his father call with the news?
