I thought

Derick

My name is Derick and I am the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack. I am going through all the work sectors to make sure everything is going well. We will have a celebration for the Blue Moon and big things are expected to happen.

I am very anxious and my wolf is restless because we will receive a special power on the night of the celebration and we will recognize our mate.

For now, we can only wait.

The pack is doing very well financially. The trees have grown rapidly and multiplied the amount of fruits, which are large and lush, attracting many buyers. I had to buy a truck to transport the merchandise because it no longer fit in my pickup truck.

I pass by the square and see many women and young people arranging everything, weeding, sweeping, preparing the place for decorations and the stage that will be set up. We will have a special hunt to have meat for everyone.

Here, we don't have food stalls like humans do, everything is free. People earn their salary by working and the profit from sales finances the events.

From the effort I am seeing, it will be a beautiful party. I just spotted a group of flirty young women, they look at me interested, flirt, and give wonderful smiles, and although I feel proud of the interest, I just give a wave of hand.

I am waiting for my mate.

I headed towards the garden, after passing the orchard, and looked at the immense land in front of me. Many beds had been made. Some were already covered with sprouts and others were marked. I went to the greenhouse to talk to Master Tirion.

Master Tirion is the elder of our pack. He is the oldest in the pack and has been through five generations. That is why his advice is highly respected and sought after by everyone. He still has a lot of vigor and takes care of our garden with great care.

I found him working on a raised bed, full of seedlings, separating them.

"Master Tirion, good morning!" I called him so he would notice me, since he was so concentrated.

"Good morning, my Alpha! Do you like the beds?" he replied, always helpful and with a smile on his face.

"I thought it would be further along..." I commented, shaking my head and furrowing my brow, showing my displeasure.

"I'm sorry, my Alpha, but I don't have anyone to help me. They're all busy with the preparations for the Blue Moon festival." he said, clapping one hand on the other to clean the soil and began walking towards the exit. I followed him, and he, looking at the beds, stretched his right arm pointing to the scattered tubes on the side, waiting to be installed.

"Do you see the irrigation piping? It still needs to be installed, but the seedlings need to be planted. I can't do everything alone. Jimi went to help with the fruit harvest and Mario is fixing a pipe that burst near the dam. As you can see, we're lacking labor." he explained, not as a complaint, but just stating the problem.

I observed everything, thoughtfully, looked at the trees around and the hill... That's when, with my excellent wolf-like vision, I saw a figure sitting on top of the hill. How audacious, everyone working and she sitting there, just enjoying the wonderful day.

In an impulse, I ran with the speed of my wolf, climbed the hill, and soon I was behind her. I knew who she was by the cloth on her head and the look of delight on her face, which irritated me even more.

"Hey you!!!" I called, rudely.

"Ah?" she turned surprised and frightened. When she saw me, she stood up, lowering her head as a sign of respect and subservience, which was the correct behavior in front of the Alpha. "Yes, Alpha?"

"What are you doing here, enjoying while everyone is working? You don't need to answer... Come!" I didn't even give her a chance, what could that insignificant little thing say to me?

She stood there, looking at me with those wide green eyes, trying to say something, but I didn't let her.

"Come! NOW!!!" I released my dominance to make her obey me, but she remained still. Strange, it seems like my dominance didn't affect her.

I grabbed her by the arm and dragged her along, she was somewhat hunchbacked and with that cloth on her head, she looked like a zombie. She was thin and had dark circles under her eyes, but she would serve my purpose.

"Come on, weirdo, walk faster and make sure you don't fall or roll down there. Besides being hideous, you're lazy and filthy. Go work to learn..."

So, I ran with her stumbling behind, I couldn't care less. She deserves it, to appreciate life, even if it is the result of an unknown, she enjoys the mercy of the Pack.

However, one thing caught my attention, in addition to her torn clothes and excessive thinness, the fact that my dominance had not affected her, after all, she was not even a wolf.

Thinking of a wolf, I remembered the wolf I saw in the forest days ago. I ran after her, but I couldn't catch her. I could swear she had different colors. But that doesn't matter now, especially since I haven't seen her again.

I managed to reach the base of the hill and headed towards Master Tirion.

"What are you doing with the girl, my Alpha?" the master asked me.

"Here is your newest helper, put her to work, from morning till night, no one gets to avoid working in this Pack," I ordered and let go of her arm, which she rubbed with her other hand.

"Alright, my Alpha. Thank you, I'll make good use of this special workforce." He must be going blind, how is that weirdo special?

"Think as you please, I'll come by tomorrow to see how the work is going. Don't let her slack off like she was doing. If she eats, she has to work."

I left them there and continued my inspection. I have to keep everything under constant surveillance, you never know when something will happen. Especially now, when we are so prosperous and a prosperous place attracts jealous people who cannot be content with just observing others' progress and plan, and they will destroy what they can't have.

Everyone greets me as I pass by, they want to talk, but I can't, I continue towards my purpose, just waving and smiling.
