Kate’s POV
I opened the door to my room and closed it behind.
On my bed are some new dresses.
My father had ordered them to be brought to my room.
A wave of exhilaration sweeps over me, every beat pulses with pure joy in my chest.
I’m sure he had taken into account the precaution I had given earlier.
If not Celine and her Mother would have been in my room by now.
I rushed back to my door and locked my door behind me.
Oblivion to whatever is going on outside my door,
I took off my clothes and picked up the first one,
It’s a long purple gown with a soft shimmering silk texture, with a hand-beaded design arranged along the bodice and hem.
I wore it and it’s a perfect fit, it’s going to be perfect for tomorrow.
I said out loud in excitement.
It’s a total of Five clothes.
I picked up a backpack and arranged them inside.
Under the dresses are two sandals, both having a short heels.
I gasped as I wasn’t expecting my Father to be so thoughtful to have ordered along with the dress new shoes I hadn’t requested for.
I am so happy and I put them on and it’s a perfect fit even though I didn’t tell him my size.
I arranged them also in the backpack, opened my closet and put the backpack at the corner where it won’t be spotted easily.
I put on the dress I was wearing earlier and rushed down to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Everywhere was silent.
Where is everyone, I asked
On my way to the kitchen, a familiar voice jolted me.
Where are you going,
I turned and behind me is Kayden all dressed up for battle.
I want to get food in the kitchen, I said.
He looked at me, searching my face to know if I am hiding anything.
Okay he finally said, as he turned to the opposite direction.
I looked at him, with disdain in my eyes,
As I remember what he had done to me in my past life,
How he had betrayed me,
How he had used me as a pawn in his game to get my stepsister to fall in love with him.
How he had maltreated me behind closed doors
And that night he had drive his claws into my chest and killed me.
I will get my revenge, you sly b*stars, I said.
I turned back towards the kitchen direction and
rushed down to the kitchen.
Checked for any leftover
Luckily, I found baked bread and a small portion of roasted rabbit.
I put some in a plate, and grab a cup
And rushed back to my room.
I entered and locked the door behind me.
I sat down, stuffing the bread into my mouth
Like a hungry beast
After I finished the food.
I went into the bathroom and filled the cup with water.
I drank part of it then went back into the room with the remaining
I prepared a little portion of the Dragon’s Breath.
I drank it,
It tastes sweet with a little bit of tanginess,
As I gulped it down my throat,
A felt sudden surge of energy in me, i could sense everything around me, my smell and hearing has heightened.
I could hear my heart beat as if it is placed right in front of me.
I sat down on my mattress looking around my small.
My vision too increased, as I could see every bit of small insect in my room.
I sat down still as I experienced this effect before it started wearing off little by little.
I lie down and slept off.
***
The rays of the morning light shone through the small opening at the window.
I had slept off, that I didn’t hear when my Alarm rang
Neither do I hear Miss Alice bang on my door.
I sat up feeling all refreshed and relieved.
I had not felt like this in a very long time.
I stood up and immediately grab the Moonstone Mint and Shape-shifter’s Sage herbs
Took a little portion and squeeze the juice out by adding a little water.
I drank it all once.
It tastes a little bit bitter and Minty…
The mintiness is from the Moonstone Mint.
I felt a calming, soothing sensation and I sensed something awaken inside of me.
Wow, if I continue with this treatment and with some personal training and practice.
I should be able to get my strength and transformation ability back in no time, I thought to myself.
I checked round my room to see if there is anything I would like to take with me to the Blood Moon pack.
I grabbed the Backpack from the corner which I had kept it.
I opened it.
I lifted my mattress, I picked up the Five books I had kept underneath it and arranged them alongside the clothes I had kept in the backpack earlier.
I took off my clothes and walk into the shower.
Humming to my favourite song I had learnt as a child.
I put off the shower and stepped out.
Opened my closet, took out a blue flowing dress and put it on.
I grabbed the remaining herbs and packed them inside a polythene bags, then put it inside the backpack.
Folded my birthday dress which I just took off and put it inside also.
I think I am all set, I said.
I grabbed the backpack and head straight out,
I don’t want neither Celine nor the her mother to meet me in my room.
As I reach the front door of the pack house, there are a lot of guards standing in position.
Some faces I recognise while some I don’t.
I head straight to the Library to meet Madam Elena.
I also need to find out about the situation,
What is going on,
After the battle whistle I had heard yesterday and seeing Kayden dressed in his battle outfit.
I had not known what is going on afterwards.
As I entered the Library, I saw Madam Elena where she sitted reading a book.
I can sense some changes now Omega.
Your wolf scent is becoming more distinct, she said.
I smiled,
I also feel a lot different now, I replied.
How were you able to do that, you didn’t even raise up your head to see who had entered
She smiled, it’s all depend on personal training.
Every Wolf has high smell sense but to be able to use smell to identify one particular wolf to the other depends on how you train yourself and how old you are, she said.
Wow, that’s good.
So was there an attack yesterday?
Yes, some groups of rogues tried to enter the pack through the pack border yesterday.
The guards on patrol were able to spot them and attacked them.
Unfortunately there are other groups camping in hiding close to the border which counter the attack and overpowered our guards which led to the sounding of the battle sound.
We lost some men and some were injured.
Some ally packs army too have arrived to support us on security.
Apparently the rogues are trying to sabotage the Alliance from taking place.
She explained… and continued reading
But what is going on why the attacks from the rogues and the Embermoon pack, I asked.
The Silverwood Tree, she said.
It is a rare trees of high value to the werewolf kingdom.
It was discovered at the ancient forest which is located between the pack’s southern border and the Embermoon pack.
So apparently both pack’s are fighting over the territorial right of the forest.
And the rogues are fighting that they are the inhabitants of the forest and therefore it can’t be taking away from them.
I remembered Lilah, Kayden sister had told me this in my past life.
This Silverwood Tree, is it an herb tree, I asked.
It has a lot of usefulness, she said.
One of which is,
It is used to create weapons and armor,
due to it’s high resistant to damage and high temperature.
It can withstand the strength of the Werewolf without shattering and deforming. It can also attune itself to the user’s energy, so there is a more precise control and enhanced strength.
So it falling into the wrong hands should be avoided as it can be use against the Werewolf Kingdom.
And also it will boost the riches of any pack that owns it, She explained.
No wonder this Alliance Agreement is so important to my father, I blurted out.
You see Kate, If ownership of the forest is to be claimed, this Silverwood Trees should belong to the Embermoon Pack, Madam Elena said.
Why, I asked.
They discovered it first and the part of the forest which it was discovered falls more to their territory, Madam Elena said.
Why then is our pack fighting for the territorial right? I asked further.
Well let say your father’s greed and abuse of power, being that our pack has more Allies with other pack’s.
How dare you speak bad of your Pack and Alpha, Celine’s voice made me snapped.
And how dare you question what I say and not say in my pack, you little cub.
I have never seen anyone raise a voice on Celine or her Mother before.
Get out of here before I squeeze life out of you, and don’t you dare let me hear a word of this from anyone.
I sat down still watching as Madam Elena speak to Celine.
Sorry madam, Celine said and rushed out.
Won’t that get you into trouble, I asked.
Madam Elena smiled, and what trouble could it possibly land me.
What could Damien do to his only surviving sister.
I gasped as she said that.
You’re my old aunty, I said with my eyes wide open.
Yes, she responded.
Wow, why then did you turn a blind eye to all the cruelty I had suffered in this pack.
I had warned your Father not to get a Human pregnant but he disobeyed me and I vowed not to ever have anything to do with the offspring.
A decision I regret till this day, I am sorry she said
Tears formed in my eyes, I felt a slight disappointment as she said those words
I stood up, picked up my backpack and rushed out of the library.
