wars and wolves

one

LUCY

the way she strode toward me, she was fierce. absolutely fearless. with wolves as big as 9 feet tall ripped one another apart around her, it's almost as if I was the only thing she could see, but it's not your typical 'oh my gosh, she is coming to kiss me' no no. none of that at all. in fact, quite the opposite. the look in those earthy green eyes told me she wanted my head on a silver plate.

Even in her state of pure rage, she seemed so calm.

now let me start from the beginning.
my name is Lucy, and the girl aggressively yet calmly walking towards me, that's my best friend, Aurelia.
She and I are polar opposites. she is quite bold and unfortunately she does not have the ability to hide a single thing she feels.
she has been the beta of this pack ever since my mother passed and I appointed her said position. Her fiery orange hair and emerald green  eyes have made quite a common mix with her milky skin. She has a few freckles across the bridge of her nose that she has always despised, however, everyone else thought they were character building. A
And, not that it matters, she has a very sought after hourglass figure which i have always admired.

My features differ to hers just a tad. i have white-blonde hair down to the middle of my back, slightly wavy. with earthy blue eyes and freckles on the sides of my face.
I, rather than being as open as my best friend, am quite shut off, quite 'in control' as people put it. but i have to be To be the alpha of this pack.
Because being the alpha, generally means you have all of the responsibility, but Aurelia likes to help out, which I absolutely do not begrudge her that.

Aurelia and I have known each other for as long as I can remember, we are both 23 but she is 3 months younger than I am and if I'm being honest there is nothing I wouldn't do for her.

So back to the topic at hand, the reason my best friend was striding towards me. this little feud between two packs was a rather large deal for her. This pack and ours, aren't enemies, but rather,  my beta and their alpha are.
see, Aurelia had a partner that she was absolutely in love with, and honestly, it was nice because I had never seen her that happy. that was, until she wasn't. they were together, and they thought they were happy and she thought that he was her mate, however when he found his true mate, things got complicated to say the least.
Aurelia has never been one to trust people easily, so roughly 5 days ago when this specimen of an ex boyfriend came back into town, the news did not go well at all. they had been dating for about 5 years, but unfortunately his indiscretions got the best of him one night about 6 months ago, when his dear friend alcohol was involved, and his loyalty suddenly was with 'some bimbo with a skirt so tight we can see what she had for breakfast', as Aurelia put it.
he claims he 'just knew' she was the one when they met that night, which only added fuel to the fire.

Aurelia's attention, as she hurriedly moved in my direction, I quickly realised, was not on me, but rather on the wolf behind me. Pierson. the ex. but before I had a chance to turn around, I had heard the familiar sound of bones cracking, and a vision of orange fur was rushing past me.

It did not take long for my darling best friend to have Pierson pinned beneath her, teeth bared and the deepest, throatiest growl emitting from her that I had ever heard from her. I can honestly say id never seen her this angry before. which is understandable because she never fully grieved their relationship. and I completely encouraged her to rip out his vocal chords and put them on display, but she did no such thing. such a shame.
when I looked around, many, many wolves were at each other's throats. many of my wolves looked like savages, rogues. and I most certainly was not going to stand for my pack behaving like wild animals, figuratively speaking. so I did what any normal alpha would do. I walked up to Aurelia and grabbed her by the ear, dragged her away whilst i ignored her whimpers for me to let go.
i whistled for all of my wolves to back down and follow. had anyone seen this, it would've been a sight. a small human looking girl, walking with 25 fully grown werewolves behind her.
