Ch.1 Moon lite Night

The forest bathed in the light of the full moon shining bright in the midnight sky as it almost eclipsed the light of the stars. The thick trees seemed to sway ignorant of what was happening beneath its branches. But who could blame them, the fast footsteps of those who lied beneath them could barely be heard as is.

A boy with long silver dreadlocks ran through the forest as fast as his bare feet could take him. The woods were merciless as they tore at his already burnt clothing and skin but the boy didn't have the luxury of caring about those things. He could hear them not far behind. Their ferocious growls and endless howling echoed through the forest even reaching the boys' ears as tears streamed down his face.

He wasn't built for this type of endless running, and he had a feeling that the rogues knew that too. He knew that they were just tiring him out so he wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight when they had finally caught him. This drove the silver-haired boy to push as hard as he could. To them, this pace was like a walk in the park but for him, this was his only way to survive he had been running for way too long to be able to take down a group of rogue wolves.

The teen boy saw out of the side of his eyes as a big dirty brown wolf rushed at him from the side, its mouth wide open. But unknowingly to the wolf, this was a mistake. Before it could land its attack the boy pulled a koranbit from his side and with one jerk of his wrist he slit the wolf's throat clean open. Only to be attacked by the claws of another wolf that hit him so hard he was slammed into a tree. The boy could feel the blood coming from his side it was a deep scratch and if he didn't take care of it soon he would bleed to death.

POV silver-haired boy.

The blood loss was the least of my problems staring me down was a wolf twice the size of the one I killed. I could see it in his eyes that he was hungry maybe even starving, but for some reason, he wasn't getting any closer.

" What's wrong mutt afraid I might taste bad?" He growled at me as he moved a little bit closer only to stop again. I took this as my chance to stand up. "Come on you piece of shit I'll be damned before I get eaten by a useless fucking rogue!" The wolf leaped at me and it felt like time had slowed. This was how I was going to die. Alone after running for gods knows how long. To think it would be at the hands of this creature. I hope I taste like shit. I closed my eyes waiting for death. I'm so sorry Mel.

POV change.

"Why the hell are we the ones doing patrols Chris?"

"For the last time, we are the future alpha and beta of the moonstone pack we need to learn how the pack works inch by inch even if that means we have to do the job of the deltas."

" No, the real reason is that you pissed off your mom, our Alpha, and somehow in her twisted mind she decided that I would benefit from the same punishments as you. Which I find completely unfair." Trevor announced as he walked beside me I only rolled my eyes at him because he knew that half of the stupid ideas that piss off my mom was his too. To be completely honest we could have received a worse punishment for destroying the packhouse living room in a paint gun war. Like our last punishment was taking over all the chores that the omegas do. Omegas aren't just good for cooking and cleaning they also do stealth mission and deliver messages for the packs, because of their smaller wolf it's easy for them to hide and move quickly. To be honest it was hard for me to keep up with the omegas they could easily run circles around me.

" oh please don't act like you don't deserve this too. You're the one who bought" I stopped mid-sentence as I heard a loud pound come from the woods along with the smell of blood. " Trev do you smell that?"

" don't do anything stupid Chris I already linked the alpha and beta... wait! Chris!?" It was too late I had already taken off towards the woods. I could see them as my body started to shift on its own. There was a teenage boy with silver locks. He stood up on shaky legs but not from fear and he screamed at the wolf in anger just as it leaped in the air. My body speeds up and as I jumped in the air my clothes burst and caught the rogue neck in the jaws of my wolf and snapped it on the way down.

———————————————————————

The boy stood there with his eyes closed still ready to be attack but when it never came he opened them to see his attacker laying limp on the ground as a different wolf stood before him. The huge wolf was gray with blood around his snout. Chris sniffed at the silver-haired boy he could smell the sweat and blood but mostly the fear.

Once he tried to take a step forward and saw the boy back up and pull out another karambit, Chris realizes he was afraid of his wolf form so he took a step back and looked at his surroundings checking for any more wolves but the only ones he saw where both dead. Chris quickly allowed his body to change back into his human form. Seeing that the boy wasn't in shock means he wasn't a human. He tried to take another step forward but this time the boy did something he wasn't expecting he took a defensive stance showing that he would attack.

'Hey Trevor stays back he's scared and I need him to calm down before the alpha and beta gets here.' Chris's mind linked to his best friend who he could see nod from behind the shadows of the tree.

" Hey, I just want to take a look at that wound you don't seem to be looking so good." Chris said as he tried to move closer again. The boy looked to him questioning his motives as he looked him up and down. The wolf could have sworn that his eyes stopped midlevel for a second but he looked up and only had a tiny blush. He could feel the smirk of his wolf as joy pride ran through his body but he couldn't understand why his wolf reacted this way.

Chris kelp moving closer and as the boy was about to let his guard down a howl went up in the air making Trevor swear. The boys fear kicked into high gear as he swung his arm in a slicing motion forcing Chris to dodge for his life. He quickly caught the next swing but the boy didn't hesitate to bring his leg up and bring it down on his shoulder almost dislocating it as he used the force to help bring his left side of his body up to kick Chris in the face. The silver hair boy used this as his chance to escape but before he could take off Trevor quickly tackled him to the ground. The force knocked the air out of the boy and made him drop his weapons.

" Got you." Trevor laughed in victory as he pinned the boy to the forest floor.

"Sorry but you're not my type so get off." After those words, the silver hair mystery head-butted Trevor which pushed his body up just enough for him to bring his legs up and around the future beta's neck. The boy quickly pinned down the wolf's arm trying his best to knock him out as quickly as possible and as Trevor slowly started to lift himself and the boy off the ground Chris realized what he was about to do.

" Trevor stop he's already hurt!" Instead of slamming the boy on the ground he quickly swiped his claws at his thigh making his grip loosen and it was easy to shake him off. He quickly got up and found his knives and stood ready. Chris and Trevor both took a defensive stance. " you go high I'll go low and remember try not to hurt him, at this point he's only fighting on instinct." Chris said to his friend as he nodded his head. The boy twirled his karambits as he put them back on his waist and grabbed two short blades from his back. "Okay.. maybe we can hurt him just a little." But before anyone could attack a loud growl made them freeze standing a few feet from them was a large black wolf and two other wolves on either side of the one silver the other red.

"Well about time we almost got sliced to pieces," Trevor said as he pointed towards the boy.

" Shit." The silver mystery said as he could see glowing eyes all around him in the woods. "The one time there's a hot naked guy in front of me he would have to be a wolf."

"Of course he's your type." Trevor said to him with annoyance.

"Don't be jealous your cute but your not him." A growl came from Trevor as Chris just smirk and the alpha looked at the unknown boy like he was stupid just before she and the others changed back into their human forms. " don't judge me I'm the one about to get mauled to death by wolves, so I get to say whatever I want!" The female Alpha, now in her human form, looked at the boy in front of her with eyes full of questions. He looked to be no older than her son, maybe 16 or 17, his hair was an odd color silver and she could smell any kind of residual chemicals on him so that means that it was his natural hair color, but it also meant he was in no way human. Now the question is what is he and how did he end up on her territory. By the looks of his clothes and the smell of his skin, he hadn't bathed in at most a couple of weeks. His feet were bare and his clothing torn, and he looked to be quite weakened but there was also a chance that he could be a spy for the rogues.

"Who are you?" The alpha voice was full of power showing she wasn't asking for an answer but demanded one.

"The less you know the better, trust me I'm more trouble than it's worth." The boy announced in a serious tone.

"I asked who you are."

"Sorry, Mrs. Alpha that's not an answer you will get. Just let me leave and you'll never see me again."

"I can't do that if you are an enemy then you've already seen the faces and wolf form of some of the most important members of my pack. And if you are a friend then I couldn't live with myself if I let you go out there in rogue infested woods. With the wounds you've already collected they'd rip you apart." The alpha spoke again this time the boy stop and thought about what was happening. He could go try to fight his way out maybe kill enough of them to get away but he wouldn't be able to kill some of them and fight off rogue at the same time.

"Welp this situation is bad for me either way, I guess" he looked up to the sky looking at the stars " I surrender." To him, it felt like history repeating itself but he couldn't think that way this time he wouldn't get attached he'd keep his word and get as far from them as he could he just had to wait for the right moment.

" thank you for cooperating, please lay down your weapons." The boy stabbed his swords into the ground, alongside them dropped two karambits a hunting knife and a whip that had everyone around him thought was just an ordinary belt. The alpha quirks an eyebrow at him as she looked at his hair. The boy could only laugh and huff as he pulled out two long silver sharp needles from his hair making his already long silver locks drop down further to his back.

"Hey be careful with his weapons." The beta said as he points towards the dead rogue who's slashed throat was bubbling and melting. Everyone looked at the silver-haired boy with wide eyes.

"What? He's been chasing me for a very very long time, he had it coming."

"Someone please put that boy in chains." The alpha ordered as she facepalmed. One of the pack warriors walked out with thick chains in his hands as he placed them on the way too giggly boy.

"You are a cutie you can put me in chains anytime." He said as he winks at the guard who blushed and rolled his eyes, making him laugh. Another guard came with a black cloth bag and started putting it on the boys head. "Oh, so y'all kinky kinky." The two guards pushed the boy to start walk but quickly stop when they heard Chris growl at the action. The guards froze, while the alpha rose a brow at her son as she looked to the silver-haired boy and back to Chris.

"Chris why don't you guide him back to the packhouse." Chris looked to his mom and nodded his head as he shifts and waited for them to put the boy on his back.

————————————————————————

"What your name?" The alpha asked as the boy sat in one of the chairs In her office while a girl applied medicine to his wounds.

"Krillian.. ouch okay listen here if you're going to make a healing sab from ferns then you should ground them into a powder like substance before you add water or you get the lumpy pointy mess your trying to apply to my wounds." He said to the girl who shrunk back and whispered a sorry to him before standing and bowing to her alpha and walking out.

"You know we could have let you just bleed out instead." Chris said as he sat on the edge of his mother's desk.

"I told you I'm more trouble than it's worth, plus I gave that girl some helpful advice. If she takes in what I told her, her healing sab will be more effective." Krillain spoke with a smug voice and a smile on his face.

"What are you." The smile quickly left his face making his expression unreadable. "Your not human your hair color is a dead giveaway, maybe you a Fae considering your knowledge in healing herbs?"

"Of maybe I'm a human whose hair went prematurely gray and has a love for natural medicine."

"That doesn't explain all those weapons or how you knew that a wolf's most vulnerable spot when he's in the air is his neck because you kill that rogue easily."

"Maybe I'm just lucky." He shrugs his shoulders at the alpha.

"How did you end up in the wood in the first place."

" Honestly I was running from rogues I really don't know where I am?"

"Where were you before?"

" Tennessee." The alpha eyes went wide.

" Your in Maine." Krillian's soft brown skin seemed to pale as he realized exactly who he was sitting in front of. "Why would rogues hunt you all the way here, answer me now what is going on."

"Y..your Alpha Alexandria Marcue, of the Moonstone pack." The boy stated.

"So you entered my land unknown of who I was."

"I had no idea that I was chased this far." His hand clenched the chair he sat in as his knuckles turned white as he feared the woman standing in front of him. The alpha could smell it on him the pure fear leaked away from him as she got up from her chair and attempted to lay a hand on the boy to comfort him but the boy jumped back with rattling chains. "I told you I don't want to hurt you."

" Then just let me leave."

POV Krillian

"We can't do that, we don't know if we can trust you." The boy sitting next to the alpha spoke. He must have been very high in rank to be in here with me and the alpha or maybe he's only here because he's the one who caught me at their borders. All I know is that I have to get out of here before this alpha could find out what I was because when she does it won't be pretty for me.

" I swear on everything that I won't tell anyone about your pack, and seeing as tall, Caramel, and handsome over here did 30 zigzag and a backtrack before he came here I don't even know how to get to the nucleus of your territory." The boy who I think the name is Chris crosses his arm.

"You counted and could tell all that while blindfolded?"

"Of course I did if you were taken hostage wouldn't you try and plan to escape?"

"You do realize this doesn't make us want to let you go, right?

"You do realize that the only reason I haven't escaped yet is that I don't want to have to kill you, right?"

"You couldn't If you tried."

"Take these chains off me and let's find out cutie." Both of them smirked at each other.

"Did you just call me cute?"

"Maybe I did, what you going to do about it pup." Chris's eyes flashed a dark red full of lust. "Oh shit."

"Chris why don't you go cool off and stop flirting with a prisoner." The wolf's face turned red as he bowed to the alpha and walked out.

"Killjoy."

"Oh please, you would have been drag to his bedroom if you keep going and from the reaction, you had earlier I don't think you are ready for that." I could feel the blush come to my face and I knew she was right. I may talk a big game when it comes to flirting but I have very little experience when it comes to sex. I've had sex with someone before but it wasn't a guy.

" I apologize about that whole flirting thing I don't know why but there's just something about him. I don't know how to explain it."

"Well then" the alpha paused as she studied me. " that settles that you'll be staying here from now on. I don't want to treat you like a prisoner but since you won't tell my pack what you are it would be too dangerous to take those chains off. Also if you try to leave the pact land you'll get lost in the woods and either starve to death or we'll find you and drag you back." I watch her as she tumbled through her desk and pulled out a key. " I'll have Chris show you to your room."

" Alpha Alexandria, there are things that are chasing me. I know of the strength of the moonstone pack but when they find out that I'm here that I'm within your pack, they'll come for you."

" Don't get me wrong kid, I knew from the moment I saw you at our borders that you were running, I also know what you are." I could feel my blood run cold as I prepared to run. " Don't. I figured it out the moment you jerked away from my touch. This pack... my family is drenched in the blood of your people. So we will help you not because I'm trying to atone for the moonstone sins but because I have a feeling that letting you leave would be very bad for you." I sat there in silence as we looked at each other I could feel it in my bone that she was trustworthy. My heart told me to let down my walls but my mind was logical I had only known this woman for 3 hours it doesn't matter how trustworthy she feels, anyone could act a part I had learned that the hard way.

"I guess I'll thank you for not putting me in a cell."

"We don't have any." The alpha nodded towards the door and in stepped Chris. "We kill all captives." She said this with her straight forward voice.

"Mrs. Alpha you do realize that, that" I used my finger to make a circle in the air." Did not make me feel any safer than when I was running from rogues."

"What the alpha is trying to say is your, not a prisoner, you are a guest." I looked at Chris as I smile and jiggled my chains. "Okay, a guest we can't trust, once you tell us what you are and why you were running in the woods those chain will come off permanently." Chris opened the door wider allowing me to walk past him.

"Nosy ass wolves." I walked down the hall as if I knew where I was going right before I stumbled into a large man. Fall straight onto my ass.

" I'm sorry let me help you." Without even struggling this man or wolf I should say picked me up and plopped me right on my feet. He was much taller than me and he was built of muscle, his skin showed off a glorious tan and when I finally looked at his face he looked like an older version of the boy behind me.

"You must be Chris's dad, your son is hot." I said with a smile on my face as I shook his hand. " and I can see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." The man smile quickly faded as he looked behind me I didn't have to turn around I could feel it like waves. Waves made of pure jealousy, the man looked down at me with a smile on his face again.

"You must be who the Alpha was talking about, she's been chatting through the link about you all night. My name is Samuel and yes I'm Chris's father, but maybe you should make that kind of comment in front of him, he gets quite jealous." I could hear the alpha snicker from behind us as I also heard Chris grumble under his breath right before I was thrown over his shoulder and carried away. " Remember consent is sexy!" Samuel laughed out before we disappeared around the corner.

" So do you mind telling me where we are going?" I simply picked at my fingernails as he carried me like a sake of potatoes.

"Here." He abruptly stopped in his tracks putting me down before a door as he pulled out a key and unlocked it. "This will be your room there is a bathroom to the left and your closet is on the right. Inside of the bathroom, you'll find a towel, toothbrush, and other hygiene maintenance type shit. Once you go inside this door will lock and it can only be unlocked from the outside. Oh and one more thing." Chris pulled out a key and unlocked my chains.

" I thought you said they'd come off when I told everyone what's going on?"

" I said they'd permanently come off consider that as me saying that this is temporary the only reason we are even locking you in is that you don't trust us yet so we can't completely trust you." I gave him a blank stare as the chains dropped to the ground and he picked them up.

"Why are wolves always so trusting?" It was an honest question one that I needed an answer to, I could tell it caught him off guard. He reached his hand up to his neck and scratched it as he scrunched up his face in a cute way. Stop it I can't think like that or I'll end up staying.

" I don't know how to explain it, it like for some reason our other halves don't see you as a threat. My dad explains it like this, good people give good vibes. You don't seem like someone who came here to destroy our pack." Chris shrugs his shoulders at the words that came from his mouth. I could only look down in shame.

" Thanks." That was all I said as I closed the door in between us. Why is it so easy for a wolf of all creatures to be what I get attached to? For god's sake, our species has been trying to kill each other for decades. Now, look at me locked within the house of the very pack who started the persecution of witches. I flicked my hand and the walls shimmered, like a glaze of energy came coating the walls before in merged with it.

"Gods, what have I gotten us into Mel?" My shadow appeared before me and landed itself on the bed before it started to float apart leave a tiny human wrapped in a blanket where it once laid. The baby's eyes were closed. As she still tried to suck on her binky which only made the smile on my face grow larger. The baby girl had black hair that slowly turned a beautiful silver like the man before her, but her skin complexion was a tad bit litter than mine. I worry it's from spending so much time in my shadow but it's the only place I could keep her safe. The moment I picked her up those beautiful eyes of hers opened, one a dazzlingly bright blue the other a rich honey-brown that seemed to glow in the light.

"Awe my babies awake, why don't we take a bath?" With her still in my arms, I walked over to the bathroom flicking on the light. Both rooms were your stander porcelain white. It wasn't too small but it was also not large by any standers, but what did I expect I'm still technically a prisoner here I didn't expect them to give me the King's treatment. I was able to collect supplies for our bath with ease as I turned on the water and plugged the tube. Mel quickly made grabby hands for the water. "Daddy's gotcha," I told her as I quickly got rid of her diaper and clothing and plopped her in the water. I made sure I burnt the dipper to get rid of any evidence of her being here. Mel didn't waste any time as she splashes and giggled allowing her two teeth to shine out. I started to bathe her whipping away any dirt as she smiled and tried to eat the bubbles. I scooped her out of the tube and wrapped her in the towel as I dryer her skin before laying her down to sleep. I took this as my chance to quickly take a shower before joining my little angel in bed.

To think a year ago I thought I wasn't ready for a child and then bam here I am holding my very own baby. She's the best thing in the world to me. I could feel a tear slip down my face as she smiled a smile that reminded me of her mom. I wished that everything wasn't this way I wish that I wasn't born what I am and that my baby could have had a normal life. I wish I could have had the life I dreamed of with the love of my life, but this was fate. This was the world we live in and no matter what I desired or wished for nothing would change but at least I have my Mel.

"Alpha we have a problem!"

"What is it?"

"The Mountain peak pack of Tennessee, it's been destroyed." Alpha Alexander rose from her seat so quickly it sent her chair flying back.

"By who were they attacked by a rival pack?"

"I don't think so, the entire place was engulfed by golden fire."

"Witches."
