Athena's P.O.V.

My sister and I were on the couch, doing our Chemistry homework and drinking some hot cocoa.

"Okay, I don't get this." I told her, taking a sip of my drink.

"Me neither. Let me text Bree." she said before grabbing her phone. She began typing her text to Bree and sent it.

Once she was done, she grabbed her mug and went to drink, but we were caught off guard by a loud, scratching noise outside.

"Zed?" she called out.

Addison got up as I put my mug down and followed her. She opened the door and I didn't see anything.

She gasped and I saw claw marks on the door. We both got out as she put her mug on the chair. When I turned, I saw Wynter, Willa, Wyatt, and the pack there.

"Come with us." Willa told us.

"What's so important?" we both asked.

"You are." Wyatt replied, looking at both of us.

I looked at my sister and she had worry written on her face. I took her hand in mine and nodded.

We both walked down the patio and followed the wolves.

As soon as we got to the Forbidden Forest, we ended up in front of a cave of some sort.

"Where are we going?" Addison asked.

Wynter rolled her eyes before pulling me to her. "It's a wolf secret. If we told you we'd have to kill you." she told her.

Addison widened her eyes as Willa and Wyatt sent her a look.

"Too much? Too much! I knew it! Sorry!" my mate said, putting her fists to her head before smiling brightly. "Welcome!"

Willa and Wyatt continued looking at her.

"But, not too welcome." she told my sister.

Wynter snarled, but she began coughing as her necklace went green.

"Are you okay?" I asked, putting a hand on her back while grabbing her hand with my other one.

"My necklace is losing its charge." she explained, looking at me sadly.

"Every day, more and more of our pack become sick because their moonstones lose their power. All of our elders are too sick to travel which leav-" Wyatt started, but was cut off.

"Which leaves taking care of the pack to us. To me." Willa said.

She walked over to Wynter and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You'll be fine, Wynter. I promise." She looked at her brother. "You better be right about this. We need to find the moonstone soon."

She escorted Wynter as Wyatt came over to me and my sister. "Follow us. Please."

Addison grabbed my hand as we followed the werewolves.

Soon, we came to an area where all the werewolves were. It was beautiful and I instantly felt drawn to it.

"The wolf den!" Wynter introduced us.

"Wow." Addison and I said at the same time.

"It's okay to be impressed." my mate said before taking my hand.

"Our language. Awoo Addison and Athena" Wyatt stated. "That means welcome."

"Awoo." Addison howled, followed by the werewolves laughing.

"Ostrich boots?" Wynter asked.

"No, I think Addison meant 'Awoo!'" Wyatt explained.

"Awoo." Addison tried again. The werewolves continued laughing.

"Polka-dot unicorn?" Wyatt asked.

"Cool! Where?" Wynter asked.

"No, sorry. Um, Awoo!" she howled briefly, followed the the wolves gasping.

"Whoa, whoa! Language, there are were-pups around." Wyatt said.

"She needs to put a pebble in the swear-wolf jar." Wynter said.

All the other wolves howled, as if scolding her. "I am so sorry." she replied.

"You try, babe." my mate told me.

"You sure?" I asked. "Yeah! Go ahead." Wyatt replied.

"Awoooo!" I howled and the wolves all howled back.

I froze. "Did I say something wrong?" I asked. Wynter smiled and pulled her close to me.

"You said that perfectly." she looked at the pack. "I told you she was a keeper."

"Enough. This is not why we brought them here." Willa said.

"Why are we here?" Addison asked.

Wyatt grabbed some kind of rock and held it up, a blue light beaming from it. The hologram was a girl with white hair howling and dancing.

"I believe you will lead us to the moonstone. I believe you're the Great Alpha. I believe you're a werewolf! You and Athena!" he explained.

"What?!" my sister and I exclaimed.

Wynter looked at me lovingly and grabbed my hand, bringing me with her.

Wyatt: Turn up, explain our history
Pull back the veil of mystery
What's written on the cave is prophesy
The Great Alpha is our destiny
Show us the power of chemistry
Lead us to the source of our energy
No one knows her identity
But she looks like you, identicallyThis is how we're livin' our lives
Livin' our lives, livin' our lives, yeah
Can you feel the call to the wild?
Call to the wild, the call to the wild

Werewolves: We are the call, we are the call
We are the call to the wild

Addison: I see a real community
Unique, but you have unity

Athena: You know who you're supposed to be
Release to the rhythm totally

Wyatt: I feel the vibe when you're close to me
And you can feel it too, or hopefully
Now look up, and tell me what you really see
A bunch of stray wolves or a family?

Werewolves: This is how we're livin' our lives (hey)
Livin' our lives (hey), livin' our lives, yeah
Can you feel the call to the wild? (Hey)
Call to the wild (hey), the call to the wild
We are the call, we are the call
We are the call to the wild
We are the call, we are the call
We are the call to the wild

Willa: Hold up, before you do, let me interrupt
She's a cheerleader, not an Alpha
You're in the den, but you'll need to earn my trust
Now show me what you got if you're one of us

Willa and her side did a dance. I backed my sister up and we did the same thing. Soon, the dance-off became a howl-off. In the end, we won and Willa smiled, impressed.

Werewolves: This is how we're livin' our lives (it's how you're living)
Livin' our lives, livin' our lives, yeah
Can you feel the call to the wild? (Can you feel? Hey)
Call to the wild (hey), the call to the wild (I can feel)

Werewolves, Addison, & Athena: We are the call, we are the call
We are the call to the wild
We are the call, we are the call
We are the call to the wild
