As Gina went over to the her peoples' stay, she met them all on their knees.
Elderly, mothers, fathers, young ones, pups........
They were all knelt down............bowing.
As they bowed, they began to chant;
"Our queen...... thank you."
"Our queen...... thank you."
Her heart was overwhelmed and overfilling with excess care and responsibility.
And at this, she swore their safety, no matter the consequences.
They were her responsibility.
The rogues had no other idea than to commit full loyalty to this girl.
She was, truly, their queen.
She'd defended them from those witches without even endangering their pups and families for a moment.
All that was on the line, at that moment, was her life, and yet she came out unscathed.
Truly they'd been wrong about her before.
Now, they owed her their lives.
And they swore to pay in full.
They'd serve her till their last breathso.
She couldn't help it.
She bowed back to them.
"Thank you!...."
She'd whispered.
"Thank you for believing and trusting me...... I.....I...."
She teared up silently.
She didn't even have the courage to spill the sentence..
Yes...
She loved them!!
They were now her family.......
They'd been far better than her actual pack had treated her.
So she'd truly protect them and lead them with all she had.
Although, all these had been said in her thoughts, all the wolves heard it.
They were in awe.
That was a mind link, just like the day with the raid.
If they had a pack link then that meant..........
This Queen of theirs had finally made them a pack.
A new pack at last.......
She smiled as realization dawned on her.
Those thoughts.....was as a result of a pack link.
So......they were now fully certified by the Goddess.
They were a pack.
Gina's POV
I stood up in joy.
We were now one.
A pack......
They all raised their heads with smiling faces.
They knew too......
"We did it!"
I pumped my fist in the air.
"We are now together as one.
We did it wolves....... we're a pack!!...."
The wolves cheered loudly and threw their fists in the air.
I smiled.
"Now!.....we shall be known as the Burning crescent Rage....."
They cheered even louder and nodding at the name.
It's no mystery.
The name, their shine to still survive and live,to be alive, for their generations.
Care, empathy , pain , passion , fear , love, care, anger.
All of these shown under the beam of a crescent moon, the first and sharpest time of a moon. Most evidently, their anger against the death and unfilal rules of their packs.
Thus the name,
Burning Crescent Rage.
"Gather around now wolves,..... Firstly, I'll need an average of hundred wolves for our defenses. Male and females included. "
Strong bulky men and slightly toned female stepped forward.
Lining the edge from which I stood.
I nodded.
A hundred, wasn't really much, and with such little time, we could be underhanded.
We'd need a plan B.
Immediately, after I dispersed the wolves, I set off to train the trainee wolves, together with greenie and a red head female.
We broke off into teams, no breaks and no rests.
Our safety depended on it.
Sectional, we rotated trainees on each trainer, as we all trained vigorously and with all commitment.
With only two day to train.
On the eve of the day of our supposed attack, we came through with a partially covered plan.
"Gather around.....now!, Here's the plan!......"
________
In the early mornings, just a few hours before dawn, with a very grey sky, we set off to win us a new home.
We had to win......
I'd just have to make sure of it
I broke off the hundred warriors into two.
Seventy over with the pack members and thirty for the take over.
With their quick learning skills, theyd been able to achieve far past what I'd expected.
Now the possibility had risen up.
We had a higher chance of survival.
Silence prevailed the familiar paths as I trod along.
The sun was about to be up high and I was nearing the borders, with each step I took.
One step closer to the future.
The cave.....
There was no trace of it, like it never existed.
I'd almost been lost in my way when I lost sight of the cave, beginning to doubt my mental capacity, except for some very little point outs.
The familiar buzzing of cars, lamps and huge gates, made purely of iron.
I stepped into the light, in-front of the huge gates, crawling my way forward......
Let the show begin.......
-------
The guard caught the faint smell of a wolf.
A sweet smelling wolf.
They heard scratches, and grasses shuffling.
Partially injured, they were very wary of their surroundings.
It could be a trap for all they knew.
A girl was crawling, unsteady and shaking.
Her face was tattered and her clothes were torn.
Her body was smudged with dirt and her arms were brown and sore.
The guards were all ready to ignore the child and let her burn her way through the doors, but her voice........
It was exquisite.....
Simply entralling ..........
They had to see if this voice was coming from someone so haggard.
"Please..... they're coming for me......my father.......help, help me...help me."
She was pleading hard and her eyes were red.
She began banging on the doors and they heard shuffles.
Suddenly, a huge wolf popped out, growling and staring hungrily at the girl.
Saliva dripped from the corners of it's mouth.
She scrambled back, banging harder and crying harder......
"Please.....pease save me....My father, Alpha said you'd help me.......why?.....help me please!!!.
HELP ME!!!!".
She was screaming at the top of her lungs, shouting in pain, as the wolves slowly walked to her, eyeing her like a delicious meal.
Truly she'd be a fitting meal for him tonight.
The wolves, summoned the advice of their Alpha.
"Alpha, there's a girl at the door. She asking for help!....."
The Alpha gruffed and sank into his chair with a cigarette in his hand as he puffed out smoke....
"Leave it, it's not our problem.
We already need help as it is."
"But Alpha, she's a under attack as we speak. A rogue-"
The Alpha banged his chair hard.
"I said leave it!!! Are you defying me Theodore?..."
The wolf shook his head.
"Of course not Alpha, but she......she said an Alpha sent her here for help. She's an Alphas' daughter. She-"
Suddenly the Alphas'went to a memory of an alliance with a bigger pack that wasn't really going on well and with this girl, he could mend it all back.
He was the only other Alpha that'd known him since he'd began his rule.
So she was probably his daughter....
And maybe he'd even get some added benefits.
Yes that was a good plan indeed.
"Well why didn't you tell me sooner. You're so useless. Get out of my way. "
The guard stared at the departing Alphas back and hesitated.
Should he really tell this to his Alpha?.
He sighed.
"Alpha?"
He called out.
"What is it?!"
"The gates.....they don't burn her.
I don't think silver hurts her. "
The Alpha stilled for a second.
Not burn from silver?.
That was unusual........
Maybe she was a hidden child?
Yes!. A child like that with a power as such was most likely the weakest point of her father ,the Alpha.
A secret that would be his very own blackmailer.
The Alpha smiled.
"Bring her in, Quick!"
The guard nodded and went off to the gate where the wolf had already sunk it's teeth in her shin, and was pulling her back into the forest.
Immediately, the guards charged into action and shifted right before her eyes, despite their wounds.
They charged at the wolf, who fought off for a while and then, ran away into the forest.
They turned to the girl who had fainted out of shock and was whimpering very lowly.
They shifted back to their human forms and carried her into the pack town.
So far......it was an A it seemed.
