Jake's POV:
It's been two months since the attack on my mate. We have found no signs of the rogue wolf and have yet to find any traitors among the pack. Every day is the same for me, I work in my office on paper work and finish my alpha duties, then at the end of the day I head to the medical center and spend the rest of the night beside my mate up until morning.
This has been repeated for over 2 months now, and there is still no sign that my mate will wake up or if she will ever recover from this. I continue to blame myself for not being there for Mavis, for not being the mate that she deserves.
Since that day, I have worked tirelessly to find out who is targeting my mate and change the pack for the better. All those people who once hated Mavis for no true reason have either left the pack and become rogues or have learned to accept that Mavis is a member of this pack and that their behavior as well as mine, is unacceptable, and can no longer be tolerated.
My beta Jeremiah has been a huge help with implementing the necessary changes among the pack and helping me keep everything together. We now have counseling for those who have anger issues and are working on being kinder to one another, no matter our status or gender. I have changed the way the omegas are the underdogs of the pack, they now are respected as much as any other pack member. I don't allow fighting amongst members and promote peace and happiness.
Mavis's parents are still a major problem I have to deal with, but they have stayed out of the way so far. I spoke with my parents and officially announced to the pack that Mavis Lynne Kingston is my mate and the future luna of the Blood Moon Pack.
At first there were lots of outcry's for me to reject and or kill Mavis, Ryder nearly took over and killed everyone who was in opposition to our paired mating. "Let me make this clear for all of you!" My voiced bounced off the walls of the pack's gymnasium.
"Mavis is my mate! The Moon Goddess, the mother of all Luna's, Thy Luna, has chosen Mavis as my destined mate. How dare any of you object
to what she has decreed. Her word is law! Rejecting your mate just because of a difference in appearance, gender, or a minor defect as some of you call it, is no reason to reject your mate!!"
The hall was filled with silence and I could just pick up the sounds of crickets and animals moving about outside the gymnasium doors. "I demand that you respect this decision and treat Mavis as if she was one of our own. She is as much a member of this pack as any one of you."
Christopher and several other pack members that had once played a crucial part in tormenting and abusing Mavis stood up out of their seats to face me.
"Why should we let this mutt become Luna? She is nothing more then a defected child and the scum of the Earth." Christopher boasted as he and his gang laughed and clapped each other on their shoulders in agreement.
Ryder was writhing inside my head and ready to take full control and rip out each and every one of their puny and scum-filled hearts. "How dare you speak about your future Luna like that!?" I could barely keep the contempt from my voice. Christopher and his gang quickly sat down as they took a scan of the situation.
Jeremiah came up on stage and tried to calm me down, he grabbed my shoulder and squeezed hard to help me clear my mind and gain control of my whirling emotions.
"Our Alpha is correct, Mavis is our future Luna, and as such, she deserves the utmost respect from us all." Jeremiah searched every pack mates face for signs of rebellion or disgust. Most stayed silent and kept their anger contained.
"Those who do not like my decision may leave the pack and become rogue, otherwise, you will listen to your alpha and learn to adapt to these new ways of life." I looked out into the crowd and six members, including my third in command Cole, left out the gymnasium without even a second glance black.
I turned towards Jeremiah and called out to Alec from the crowd. He was a childhood friend and was like another brother to me. He was someone I trusted very much and could depend on.
"What's up Alpha Jake?" He questioned as he approached me from the side of the stage.
"Alec I trust you explicitly and would like you to become my new third in command." I gripped his shoulder and looked into his eyes.
There was complete shock and pride hidden behind their depths. "I would be honored Alpha." I could tell when he felt the transfer of power enter his body as he accepted his new title.
The pack cheered for their new Third in command and I looked out to see Christopher and several of the ones who had spoken out leave the gymnasium. I didn't see Mavis's Parents anywhere, but I did see my parents. The looks of pride and love on their faces gave me the courage to move forward with my redevelopment plans.
Since then I have doubled the patrol and picked up on the training. Christopher and his gang have been getting along fine and I notice no other major problems. The pack learned to adapt with the new changes and are better off for it. Everyone seems much happier and I have made sure that the ranking system doesn't outright prejudice against gender or birth. No person deserves to be punished and abused because of how they're born or perceived. I just wish that Mavis could see all the changes within the pack and come back to me soon.
Mark has been great at taking care of Mavis and I thank him and the Goddess that he was able to at least save her life in time. It hurts not being able to see her beautiful smile or hear her twinkling laugh when she's enjoying life to the fullest. I can just remember how she looked at me with such trust. I want to earn that back and be a true mate for her.
I go over our last conversation every day since I lost her. I've tried to cope with the pain and I'm almost thankful for it. It reminds me of the wrongs I have made throughout my life and what I have to do to make up for it all.
"Hey Jake, what you up to?" Jeremiah yelled, running over from the training grounds.
I shook my head and smiled at him, "I just finished volunteering at the pack nursery, what's up?"
Jeremiah frowned and looked down before meeting my eyes again, "Any changes with Mavis's condition yet?"
I shook my head and looked up to the sky. It was beautiful outside, the sky was a mixture of blue, purple and pink, and the sun was about to set.
I couldn't help but wish that Mavis was able to see this with me.. I hate how she wasn't privileged with the ability to see everything around her, but I don't think any less of her for being blind. I actually find Mavis to be quite strong to have dealt with all the mistreatment handed to her over the years, as well as coping all her life with her blindness.
If only I could tell her that to her face, maybe she would give me another shot at being with her. Uhh.
"Nothing so far, doc says her vitals are stable and her body has healed as best as it can, but besides that there appears to be no apparent brain activity nor any signs of her waking up anytime soon."
Jeremiah came over and gave me as quick pat on the back, apologizing for asking.
It's not like it was his fault or anything. I just hope that Mavis would wake up soon and that she would be okay. I couldn't bare the thought of her dying.
Alpha!!...
What seems to be the matter Jackson?
Rogue sighting on the eastern border!
Call the pack warriors I'm on my way.
"Jeremiah, rogue sighting on the eastern border.."
"Let's go then."
We both quickly ran towards the woods and shifted mid-run. Our clothes ripped and I became my tall, ebony-colored wolf with black eyes and big physique. Jeremiah changed into a blood- red wolf a couple inches smaller then me, but just as muscular and strong as my own wolf.
We quickly sped past groves of trees and met up with the rest of the border patrol. "What's up Michael? Jackson? We spotted several rogues encroaching on the territory, they seemed to be searching for something when we came upon them. About three tried to head towards the pack house, but we stopped them in their tracks."
I made a mental note of the info and scouted my surroundings. At least twenty rogues stood about a hundred feet away from where we were, one wolf in particular stood out.
"It's you!!..." I growled, prepared to pounce and rip out their throat.
Hope you liked this chapter and I'll be sure to update by the end of next week for sure.
