"You'll need to be on your best behavior" My Father warns as he walks over to his office table; dark rings hang under his eyes and his

usual combed hair was messy,revealing another sleepless night. inwardly sigh, as I walk towards the office

table, I knew this sleepless night stemmed from the recent death of our pack member,and it didn't help that the anniversary of Mum's death was creeping around the

Corner.

"Who's coming Alpha" Andrew asks respectfully, he was always so formal even if the alpha was our Dad. He was next in line and I was looking forward to watching him

rule.

"But he won't be better than Dad'" Jane my wolf comments

"No he won't, no one can be better than Dad"He took his time in answering, his fingers massaging his forehead, pain tugged at my

heart I hated seeing him so tired and deflated.

"The two Alpha's from the Blood Moon pack" He states calmly but the shiver that runs down his spine betrays his fear. For a moment, the whole room falls into silence, before an argument quickly arises

as my three brothers begin shouting at my Father and each other.

"What the hell" Daniel says indignantly, his fists are clenched, as he tries to reign in his anger. While Harry, the youngest brother

takes a completely opposite approach to the news

"They can't come here. They..they will slaughter us all" He takes a deep breath, trying to mask the panic evident on his face.

I Wait for Andrew's input, he's sitting in one of the chairs around the desk. His eyes are unfocussed, as he begins creating a plan in

his head. Slowly rising, he quickly shakes his head to regain focus.

"No they won't slaughter us" His voice radiates power and authority.

"If the two Alphas' want a war, then war is what we'll give them"Daniel and Mike, take a moment to process what he says, before an argument breaks out again and their voices rise to a clamour.

I couldn't be bothered listening to their argument, so I shift my attention to my Dad. He was leaning against his chair, his arms

folded neatly against his chest as he waited for his sons to quit arguing, but his patience

was slowly waning.

Like Andrew, my Dad rises from his chair and look away, knowing what's going to happen next.

"Quiet" he roars, instantly grabbing their attention. "They're not coming here to start a war. They are coming here to find their mate"

"What" I shout at my Dad. "They can't, no,no, they can't"My mind goes into overdrive as I try to

process his words. I didn't want a mate What if they come here and I'm their mate.No, that won't happen, I won't let it. Jane

interrupts my train of thought,

"I hope they're our mate" she says happily."I really want our mate"

"I don't..." Is said,She cuts off the connection, ignoring me,before I can finish the sentence. The past

year she had been ranting about how excited she was to find her mate, I didn't share her enthusiasm. Deep down, I did

want a mate: I relished the idea of someone.

Hi everyone one hope you will like my new story...

Melody White 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Caring for me, protecting me.

However I was worried, what if he was controlling and aggressive, what if he only wanted me to keep his wolf calm, most importantly, what if he rejected me.

When my Mum was alive, she always reassured me that my mate would love me no matter what; but she wasn't here anymore to comfort me.

So lost in thought, I didn't even notice my brothers standing protectively around me.

"We won't let them touch you" Daniel assures me

"Agreed" my other two brothers say in unison,My lips curve into a small smile, I was touched, but I wouldn't let them get hurt, if unfortunately they did end up being my mate.

"Maybe we can hide her" Andrew suggests,"Stay in the city for awhile". His eyes are unfocussed again, as he devises a plan in his

head My smile widens with the idea, maybe I could avoid them altogether.

"Harmony, we'll hide you in the human town" Daniel adds

"I'll start packing your clothes, we can leave tonight" Harry agrees as he walks towards the door with me and my brothers behind him.

"Stop" Dad growls, using his alpha

command, with our heads bowed, we all return to the centre of the room.

'No one is going anywhere". He pauses for a moment, sighing. "I'm sorry Harmony" Anger begins to rise inside me, how could my Father keep me captive here, didn't he want me to be happy. I raise my head and my eyes meet his in a defiant stare; but my anger immediately dissipates when I see the tears at the brink of his eyes. Taking a deep breath, I remind myself that my Father loves

me.

"The two Alpha's know that I have a

daughter, escaping or hiding, will only make them more aggressive. Which may result in them retaliating and destroying the pack." My stomach sinks with dread, he was right;I could already imagine our entire pack lying in bloody ribbons as a consequence from my actions. I shudder in horror; I couldn't allow that to happen.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you" Andrew softly murmurs, taking the shudder as a sign of feeling scared rather than feeling immense horror

"They're not going to be my mates, there are thousands of unmated females in the world. The moon goddess wouldn't be that cruel to

pair me with them" I said to reassure my brothers and most importantly myself.

They nod their heads in agreement, but their faces still remain etched with worry.

Our Father dismisses us from the room and my brothers immediately start up a conversation on battle strategy; but as I leave, I can't ignore the unwanted thought

lurking at the edge of my mind, what if the moon goddess did pair me with the two Alpha's? What will happen to me?

PART 1

After the meeting I immediately head

towards Kyle's house, at this current

moment he was the only person that could truly comfort me and calm my fears.

Kyle and l had been best friends since we

were ten. A year ago when i turned sixteen i had secretly hoped that Kyle would be my mate; but my hopes were quickly crushed when Jane didn't recognise him as our mate.

I shake my head removing the sad thought as I quickly dodge past some kids laughing while running through the pack, it brings a small smile to my face, but unhappily reminds me that one day i would need to leave all this behind for some stupid mate.

I pause for a moment, wondering if i had

woken the sleening dragon or in this case

Jane inside of me, but she stays quiet,

ignoring my previous statement.

My pack was different to others, it wasn't focussed on turning kids into killing

machine at the age of one, it allowed the

children to grow up, explore, have some

freedom before they started their training at the age of sixteen.

Since I was the alpha's daughter i had begun my training at the age of fourteen, but that was still considered lucky, compared to our neighbouring pack, the Crystal Moon.

That pack forced its young wolves to start

training at the young age of seven. Their

lives revolved completely around training,

orders and discipline. I'd heard that many

wolves envied our easy way of life.Continuing my walk, i lift my hand to the sky embracing the warm autumn sun, it was just shy of winter and already the tree's surrounding the pack had lost most of it's leaves.

I personally have a strong dislike

towards the season of winter. It was such a pain having to strip off all the

heavy winter clothing when you wanted to

shift and it was torturously cold when you

needed to shift back.

Passing a group of adults talking, i freeze

when i overhear one of them mention "the

two alpha's". Moving inconspicuously, i

retreat back towards the the group, so that i'm standing only a few steps behind them.

Even with their werewolf senses, they're too engrossed in their conversation to notice me.

"I heard once that both Alpha's destroyed a whole pack, children and women are included"A man says, his voice gruff

My body paralyses with fear, women and

children included, how heartless were these Alpha's.

"Why...why would they do such a thing?" A women with brown hair asks, her face filled with shock horror.

"Because the Alpha wouldn't reveal where

the traitor wolf which betrayed the twin's

pack was hiding, as consequence and to

send a message to the other packs, they

killed everyone.

I Bite my bottom lip to prevent it from

quivering with fear. My hands were

noticeably shaking now. I don't think i could survive being their mates. The adults hadn't notice me yet, so I Sllently carry on listening

"I've heard worse"

Another man says "A few years back, the Alpha's went on another trip to find their mate. When they arrived at the Blood Water pack, the Alpha prevented the

twins from seeing his daughter"

"What happened"

He grimaces, "The two Alpha's killed the

Blood Water Alpha and then once they

discovered that the girl wasn't their mate,

they killed her as well".
