Chapter 8

"Fine, they will"Jake says, ending the subject.

Anamali ignores him, they studied together at pack school, Vilky used to treat everyone who didn't obey him.

" Daughter, if you don't want to go…" Farkas starts…

"If you don't go, he might see it as an affront and want war." Jake says, "But if there's anything that explains why you hate it, he can tell me, and I'll take care of it." The alpha says, and everyone looks at her expectantly.

"I don't have a reason, Uncle Jake, I just don't like the way he treats people."

"So it's agreed, you go." Jake says

Logan was distracted, watching the kids coming home from school, couples of mates smiling and realizing that this was their place now, and they depended on him to protect and guide them and this could easily be their home. He would follow in his father's footsteps and be a great pack leader and go to this party with Anamali because he didn't trust Vilky. The hours pass and with them Anamali, Logan, Selene and Saline arrive at the Alpha Vilky's house, there was loud music and drunkenness. This was one of the rare times when youngsters had fun besides pack chores. The only objective was socialization, very reminiscent of human parties. Logan talked to many of the other packs who invited him to visit.

" The time has come!" Announces James makes the Wolves including Anamali's appear and then Vilky walks from wolf to wolf until he turns into a human along with all of them and warns.

" I Vilky Hughver announced my partner Jillian Fjord." says out loud with a smile on his lips "And I would like to announce that I don't want her as a companion" he concludes

"He can do that?" Whispers Logan

"It's more common than you can imagine, no wolf deserves to go through this humiliation like that."

After that, everyone sees Jillian leaving angry and Vilky behind saying it was a joke.

"I see you came" Vilkas says, "Enjoy the party." He leaves after his angry mate.

Anamali and Logan looked at each other and decided to leave, and while walking through the forest again they laughed together.

"Why can't I wake up my wolf?" The biggest question suddenly made her stop and stare at him.

"Complicated, we need to research ancient rituals, but first we need to talk to your mother.

"Then we'll talk to her" he says looking at the moon that was high in the sky, Anamali did the same letting out a howl to the full moon laughing when he heard Logan try to do the same because they were giving a truce, a part is jealousy for Logan to appear and attract people's pride even his father keeps commenting on him.

The return home was smooth, each one goes to their house, and then the young woman lies on her bed thinking about possible rituals that may have imprisoned the heir's Wolf.

"Tomorrow I'll go to the library to get some old books, and I'll visit Johannes to see if she can help me with some rituals..."

"What rituals, daughter?" The young woman is startled to hear that voice while she was distracted, it was her father at her door laughing.

"I need to know what we can do to wake the heir's wolf."

"Your mom had a little cabin where she and Logan's mom would go "do Wolf stuff" maybe she won't tell you where it is? Her mom was fascinated by books and those stories" He laughs as if he's experiencing the scene and the smaller one smiles together. "There was a time, when the four of us were teenagers, when the two of us thought we were invisible." Farkas laughs as he remembers his late companion. "Me and Jake have been tormenting them ever since."

" I wanted to remember her" She confesses looking at her father, " She seems to me to have been someone amazing."

"You have her eyes and that spirit of freedom you inherited from her too, but we were always happy here, unlike Jake and Luna who dreamed of traveling the world. "

The eldest hugs his daughter and he really wished that his Katherina was there to take care of their dreamed daughter together, seeing her grow up would even save him the trouble he had to explain to her when she was thirteen years old why she was bleeding, if when babies were born they were born in wolf or baby form. But he always tried his best, not just acting as a father but as a mother and trying to see both sides of situations.

"Good night father" whispers the young woman, receiving a seal on the top of her head.

"Good night my love" she says as she closes the window and leans against the white door of her daughter's room heading to the basement, where she observes possible evidence of the mission the alpha had given her.

The sun was rising over the horizon and the first rays of sunlight crossed the sky in a show of colors, in the pack Logan and his father headed downtown, where they talked about changes Logan thought necessary for the pack.

As Anamali ran along a small dirt road at the exit of the forest and knew that there was a small hut where a young friend was not a wolf. She was the most amazing person she ever met, she was a rare type, half woman and black panther Alysha is a Womterpanam.

"Flea? What are you doing here?" She hears the laughing voice and enters the house finding her friend in a comical scene, she surrounded a porcupine while it tried to defend itself.

"I brought fresh venison" she announces, and her friend claps her hands.

"Hand over here! Alysha needs to eat urgently" she says as she takes the food for herself.

" I know it's none of your business, but... I need to wake up a sleeping wolf for twenty years. " She says and as predicted she sees the older one-stop seasoning the meat and look amazed.

"Don't say you're the heir? They're screwed, forget it. Only those who are imprisoned are free." She says putting the meat to roast.
