Special guests

Walking along the grassy ground of the village, under the luminous rays of the full moon, daughter and father console with each other about what happen at the submit meeting with the village elders.

Both of them are having they own feeling on the matter. But the one who is piss off the most about it is Lora.

With an upset and grumpy face, she walks miserable ahead of her father who is trying to comfort her.

" 17 years, I have being living in this village for 17 years and those old fart head still treats me like I am some kind of bad omen," she complain.

Angrily kicking up some dirt as she walks.

" You know, it is your own fault for interrupting an important meeting like that," said father

" That's not what I am angry about, it the stupid order they gave you."

Lora mind flashes back to the conversation with the elder after she accidentally interrupted them. The elders explained that the son of the former alpha of the black moon pack from the eastern village along with the granddaughter of an elder from the same village will be coming over to stay at the chief's house, aka father's house.

Father being both the chief of the village as well as the alpha of the northern village pack the silver lotus.

Side note * The position of chief and alpha are two different position. The chief is the one in charge of village affair such as law, housing, the expansion of the village, farm land and even trades.

The alpha is in charge of military affair such as defense, hunting for food and other resources and even training of other wolves to become warrior and hunter. Normally one person would fill the role of each but because of certain issue, father ended up filling the role of both positions. *

Back to Lora, she is upset that she is being force out of her own home because of the hatred wolves have toward human. The elders do not want Lora anywhere near the two special guest.

Especially since the child of an alpha, chief and even an elder are all treated like royalty in any village they enter. So they don't want Lora to cause any issue that will ruin the good reputation of the northern village.

Lora's father doesn't want his own daughter to be force away from home because of something like that. But even if he is the chief and the alpha, the elders have the final say in any matter involving the village and the people.

Father explain to Lora that it won't be for long, just until the " Great hunt " begin.

The great hunt is a special and very important event that is held once every five years. It is when all packs representing each villages, the northern village, western village and the eastern village compete in a great hunt inside the " Forbidden land "

The forbidden land is very mysterious and supernatural place that is fill with strange but dangerous creatures. But it is also a place that is fill with all kind of resources such as mining stone use to make weapons and can also be use for currency.

As well as herds and different plants that are use for medicines.

At this point Lora isn't to bother about everyone dislike towards her. Lora have learned about the conflict between wolves of the island and humans invaders that resulted in a great war 20 years ago that destroy the southern part of the land, Including the southern village located there.

Many wolves have lost their lives and since then they grow to hate humans.

But that isn't what have been bothering Lora, the thing she is concerned about is her father reputation after taking her, a human into his home, into the village and rising her like his own.

She is grateful for his kindness. No one knew what happened to Lora's parents after she was found washs up on the shores of the island when she was baby. If it wasn't for her father kindness, she would have probably been died.

But Lora can't help but to feel sadden by the talks behind her father's back from the villagers about his action. It is the same reason why she didn't want to greet him in public after he came back.

" Why did you bother caring for someone like me?" the golden girl asked her father who is still walking some distance behind her. Lora's back still turn towards him when asking in a serious tone.

 Father feeling the girl anxiety and worries put his massive tight palm on her head.

" Do you think that you are causing me trouble being my daughter?"

Lora stay silent, slowly turning around to look her father I his big silver color eyes. The warm of his smile and hand laying on her head. She always love this feeling. With a warmth smile. Father gave Lora his words.

" Lora, I have told you this many time already, I will never regret my choice of taking you in. You are my strong, proud and beautiful daughter no matter what others say. "

Seeing that Lora is feeling better. The two quickly when home. To the chief's house located on the top of the highest plane of that overlook the entire village.

It is a massive two stories house that only the chief of each of the villages process.

Inside father's wife, Lulu. A tall and beautiful woman with silver hair who act as Lora's mother figure. Have just finished setting up the dinner table along with Luka. Who welcome them both home warmly.

Lulu gave Lora a slight scolding for sneaking to the submit again. Accepting her mistake Lora sits around to table with the only people in the village who doesn't talking bad about her because she is a human.

The next morning, Lora packing up a few things such as clothes and her hunting weapon and tools quickly leaves the house before the special guests arrive.

She is planning to stay at a friends house until the day of the great hunt. Luka wanted to go with Lora, but mother stop him. Being the son of the chief it is only right for Luka to stay behind and greet the guests.

Lora quickly leaves the house, while going down the road leading away from the house. A very stylish carriage passes by her, accompany by a group for at least 8 - 12 warriors.

Lora can tell from their black hair, dark color skin and black eyes, they are the black moon pack from the eastern village. Inside the carriage are the two special guests.

A teenage boy with long and smooth looking black hair tied in a dreadlocks, he has black color eye and dark skin. He is the son of the former alpha of the eastern village as well as the new alpha of the black moon pack. His name is Ottar.

He excitingly looks out the window and amazed by the beauty of the northern village.

" This place is amazing, far bigger and more populated than the eastern village."

The boy can't stop his exciting being that it is his first time entering another village. The young girl around the same age as him who also have black but shorter hair, black eyes with dark skin.

Her name is Aisha and she is the granddaughter of an elder of the eastern village. With an upset look she kicks the shin of Ottar's leg causing the poor boy to yell in pain.

" What was that for Aisha?" holding his left leg in pain.

Aisha in a bad mood replied.

" You jerk, you are more excited to be in another village than to appreciate the new dress that I am wearing."

Aisha dress was quite beautiful and it is the lastest trend in the eastern village as of late.

" I know, but I have been training my whole life for this day. The day I was selected to become the new alpha is the day my destiny have been decided. This time for sure, the black moon will be victorious in the great hunt."

Ottar gripping his fists spoke with confident and passion. One of the pack members on the outside inform the two that they are approaching the chief's house shortly.

" Speaking of the chief, did you hear that he had adopted a human."

Aisha brings up the topic with a bit of a disgust look in her eyes.

" Yea, I heard that too, I am quite interested in meeting this...human," Ottar voice his desire.

Aisha with stern look ask her friend why would he want to meet such a disgusting thing. Doesn't he know of the war the humans cause on the island 20 years ago? They are nothing but greedy and vile creatures.

Aisha quote.

Ottar still with his calm demeanor.

" Even so, I still want to meet... this human."

" I wants to know if the rumors surrounding them are as bad as people say they are."
