Chapter 2

I knock on the door and wait to be let in to the office. I can hear someone's footsteps nearing. Soon, Luna opens the door as she comes over, gesturing me to enter, with a sweet and gentle smile.

Although I have never been the kind to care about looks, I have to say that both my mother, and our Luna, are the most beautiful women I have ever met.

Of course, our alpha and my father are no exempt. They are extremely good looking for their age. Even their wolves are beautiful. Well, all except for my mother. I don't recall ever seeing my mother shift before, weird right? But, I give it no thought, whatever.

"Come on in sweetheart," Luna says.

"Thank you," I know it may be rude of me, but being used time and time again for fake friendships, just to get to my brother made me get on edge over time. So yes, thus is the reason why I always respond dryly or unemotional.

As I make my way into the office, I see Alpha Brock, sitting in his chair that is fixed in the middle of his dark mahogany desk. My father sits on a lazy boy arm chair, in the small sitting area that is arranged to the right side of the office.

Luna makes her way slowly and stands next to her husband, alpha Brock, towards his left hand side. Behind me, my mother walks in and makes her way, sitting next to my father in the small living room.

"Selene, have a seat," Alpha Brock demands.

I make my way over, and sit on the cold brown leather of the chair, fixed in front of his desk.

Utter and awkward silence overtakes the room, making me feel unease.

He clears his throat as he commences to speak.

"Selene, do you have any idea why we have called you here?" I stare in awkward silence, dumbfounded by his question.

"Uh, No, alpha!" Luna places her hand on his shoulder, giving him a warm smile he humbly returns to her. He places his pen down, and fixes his sleeves before setting his hands back down on top of his desk, pursing his lips in a thin line before he sighs.

"Selene, do you recall anything about what happened to you, days before your first shifting years ago? Do you remember anything at all, from what happened that day?"

I narrow my eyes, 'seriously? I came here for answers. Not to be questioned!' I think to myself,

I had completely forgot about the mind link, and obviously forgot about canceling them out.

He clears his throat, letting out a stern growl, and his eyes become dark. He narrows his eyebrows as he tries to not lose his cool.

"Shit!" I mouth out in a whisper.

"Selene? watch your tone!" Mother warns in a low voice tone.

"I'm sorry!" I say, lowering my gaze to the ground in submission.

Luna sighs, and makes her way slowly towards me. She brings herself down, bending her knees to meet my eye level. She places her warm hands on top of both my knees, and she takes another long and endearing sigh. Her eyes look so full of worry, and sadness. A look that makes me feel unease and a bit scared, worried, and maybe a bit uncertain. Something is wrong, and I don't know if I'll like what I'm about to hear.

"Sweetheart, our goddess has chosen you with the honorable blessing of becoming our next lead warrior." Luna explains.

My mind becomes clouded as I forward my eyes towards her. Eyes wide in shock and my mouth gawked open.

"I, wait what?" I narrow my sight.

The words barely escape in a whisper.

She gives me a sincere melancholic smile. I can feel my eyes become trickled with tears of confusion, yet excitement.

"What does that mean, exactly? And, why do you make it sound like it's a bad thing?" I avert my sight

from one adult to the other.

My arms piercing the arm rests of the chair, and I can feel my whole body tremble with adrenaline, and nervousness.

My wolf, Hazel, is going absolutely crazy. She doesn't know what is happening either, just like me. She's excited and nervously jumping around.

Unlike me, though, Hazel was really looking forward to us finding our mate this year before our birthday.

"Please tell me this is not as bad as it sounds? What do you mean by all this? What, exactly, are you trying to say? And why do you look so worried?"

"Selene!" Alpha yells, demanding me to calm myself down from bombarding them with this sudden interrogation.

"Dad, what does this mean? Please, tell me?" I calmly ask father as the tears in my eyes blur my vision.

"I am afraid, that you must pack your belongings, my sweet angel. You will be leaving for training, as of tomorrow morning. You will not be training with the other females in our pack. I'm sorry my dear girl." He stares at the ground, his gaze filled with anger and sadness. My mother and Luna, silently cried.

"Huh, Is this a joke? I mean, seriously? No women! has ever!!! been chosen to become a lead warrior in the history of our pack since like a thousand years ago, so, why me? And, Why do I have to leave for the king's palace to train? Can't I just train here? Why do I have to leave?" I said angrily pointing to myself.

Luna takes a long sigh, she slowly grasps my hands, squeezing them gently. Taking ahold of my hands, she smiles, one of the most melancholic smiles I've ever seen.

"My dear, I am afraid it's true, but more complicated then that. You will not be leaving to train with our king's army for a year like most our top warriors have," She says locking eyes with my mother.

"Wh,.... this is crazy! You you guys are not making any sense, I mean, I am completely confused!

Please explain? because I am just getting more, and more confused, and frustrated, as I'm listening to what you're trying to tell me." I furrow my eyebrows, squeezing my eyes shut. This can't be real, I have to be stuck in a stupid dream again, right?

None of this makes any sense, none at all.

"Dad?" he ignores my calls, closing his eyes, turning away from me, almost trying to fight back his tears.

"Selene, we have an alliance with a Colonel, in a special force inside the military. He conducts a special elite group of werewolf soldiers, who protect human kind, and our own. You have been selected to join him and his team. You will be leaving tomorrow morning. After Blake's ceremony this evening, you may go upstairs, and begin to pack. tomorrow morning, you will have officially become part of this team."

His words echoed in my mind. This can't be real, werewolves and humans do not coexist, it's just far too dangerous! Bad things have happened before. That's why we are secluded, far away from them how

can this be happening?
