Allana felt pain in her body. He could barely move anymore. Allana sat on the ground.
"Are you okay?" greet Gyria. Gyria handed me a bottle of mineral water.
"Do I look okay?"
"No, you look really bad." Gyria laughed at Allana's tangled appearance. Dirty clothes and tangled and messy hair.
"Not funny."
Allana opened the bottle and gulped down the water.
"Are we always going to lift that wood?"
"Depending on whether your abilities have improved."
"Good God, that's right! We just lifted the wood. I want to learn to fight."
"Whoa.... Who are you and where does Allana not accept who she is?"
"Don't joke."
"Allana to fight you must have a strong and fast physique. You must practice that before you fight."
"Or maybe.. Beta doesn't like me. Yeah, I'm sure it is. From the beginning he's been like that to me."
"What do you mean?"
"Yes... Like those. Difficult explain. It's just that I'm sure he doesn't like me."
"If what you're talking about is her facial expression, she's like that. The expression on his face I mean. He's even scarier when he's with us. The face he showed you is still friendly."
Allana gawking in disbelief. From the first time Allana met Beck, Beck's facial expression was flat and cold. Allana did not find a friendly expression on her face. Just seriousness, cold and flat.
"And this exercise, this is just the beginning of Allana.. He didn't just give you this exercise. We all got it when we could only use our ability to fight. This is just one basic exercise and many other basic exercises. When you have mastered one basic exercise, it will be replaced with another basic exercise. After I think you are ready to practice fighting then you will be taught. After all, Allana, you just became a werewolf. It's only natural that he taught you the basics first. While us? We've been full werewolves of our childhood. So then... Be patient."
"Huf... Alright. But.. Why did I become a werewolf? My family has been able to since they were kids, just like you. Then why can't I?"
"I heard beta talking to Luna, that this was your mother."
"Mother? But mom said she didn't know about it."
"This is still our guess. The only ones who knew the prophecy were the officers of the Crysort pack. Alpha, beta and the witches who live in Crysort. Everyone has kept that secret for hundreds of years. So the secret of the prophecy was revealed, from the higher-ups of course. And your mother is a former beta in the Crysort pack."
"Although my mother is a former beta, but not a mean-"
"I know Allana. I told you this is still our guess. No one knows where the warrior is born from, where or when it comes. But as I heard, one witch said warriors are born of noble descent. By that is the descendants of the luna. All this time we thought was the son of the Luna but until Luna even now, it didn't have that mark. Then we started to notice one, your mother. Your mother wasn't just a beta but one of Luna's grandchildren. Your mother's grandmother was Luna Rena's son. Luna Rena has two daughters. One is your grandmother and the other is Luna Megi. Luna Megi has one daughter and one son. Boys are certainly brought by his father because you know how the provisions in this pack. While the female in foster care by Luna Megi who is now our Luna, Luna Meyta. And your mother is beta Luna Megi. While one witch said, warriors are born of noble descent. Your grandmother was a descendant of Luna, Allana. Despite not being Luna she remains a noble descendant. That's why we started to keep an eye on you until you changed that time and the signs were clearly visible when you changed."
"Then... What does this have to do with my mom?"
"We suspect your mother used a witch to delay your change Allana."
"Pending?"
"Yes, your mother doesn't want you to be a complete werewolf so she's working with witches to keep you from changing. Because Allana, if there really was a human and he was a werewolf, it should have been changed, because it was their destiny, unless they used witches to delay their change, like a curse or whatever."
"So.. My mom did that?"
"We don't know for sure Allana, at least until we're done asking this to the witch who's in our pack."
"So there's a witch in this pack? Which one is it?"
"There but not here. Where's our pack?"
"Isn't this your pack? And those people..." Allana pointed at the group of people who were gathering a little far away from them. "... Aren't they members of your pack?"
"Yes, they're members of the Crysort pack. But this isn't our pack territory. It's still neutral territory. Pack us pretty far from here. It is in south asia. And they..." Gyria pointed to a group of pack members with her chin. "... They are old members who used to leave and there are also descendants. They rejoined after hearing you had come, the warrior in the prophecy has come."
"Isn't the prophecy a secret?"
"Yes, originally.. But we can't keep it a secret any longer. This pack should be reunited."
"You're so excited." Allana noticed Gyria.
"of course. This pack was built by Luna Brea. I read a lot of history books about him. He is also a witch and a werewolf. He's so great."
"What... Can you take me to meet your pack witch? I meani... I just wanted to ask you more about the prophecy."
Allana remembered her dream. In the dream Brea asks him to meet a witch who knows about the prophecy. He just thought, maybe that witch was what Brea meant.
"Of course, if you visit the pack, I'll introduce him. He is very friendly and loves to tell children. And oh... He was old now but his magic and divination were still very great. He warned us about your mother."
Allana. He was still thinking about his mother. Did ya?
"What are you guys doing here?"
Beta Beck approaches Allana and Gyria. Allana and Gyria immediately got up and faced Beck.
"Just sit and rest beta."
"Enough rest. It's almost dark, it's time for you to go home Allana. Otherwise, your mother will seek."
"Ahh yes!! I almost forgot!" Allana patted her forehead.
"Prepare. Gyria and some people will accompany you."
"All right."
Beck nodded then turned around and walked away. But already a short distance away he walked, he stopped his steps and turned back.
"Don't forget to come back tomorrow. We'll practice again."
"Are we going to lift some more wood?" Allana looked fed up with cutting down and lifting the wood again.
"We'll see tomorrow. If you pass my observation, we'll advance to another training." Beck smiled faintly but was quite visible to Allana and Gyria.
"I didn't see it wrong, did I?"
"I don't think so, because I saw it too."
"God... Oh...y...!! She smiles. Thin, but he's smiling! I have never seen it in my entire life and I saw it today!! It's awesome!!!"
"You're so happy."
"of course. He was always surly and serious. We call it grumpy beta. Now he's smiling! That's a rare thing, you know?"
"Yes, yeah I know. Now let's go or we'll see something rare from my mom too."
"Rare things from your mother? What'sthat?"
"Straight nagging from kerta fast and nonstopnya. Sometimes we call it a scolding from hell" said Allana and immediately left Gyria still confused.
****
"So are you ready to go?"
"Ready beta."
"Allana, are your things ready?"
"It."
"good. Now leave. Gyria, by road usually. Don't go any other way."
"Good beta."
"Change and go now. If you don't, you're gonna make it last night and it's not good for Allana."
"Good beta."
Five people including Gyria instantly turned into a huge wolf. Allana is left.
"Wait what else Allana? Let's change."
"Hmmm... Can't I just be human? And ride one of their backs?" Allana pointed at the few people who had turned into wolves. Gyria growled in annoyance.
"Allana you have to change. Because you have to get used to your changes, so when you turn into a wolf or vice versa, you will have no trouble anymore. Try."
"All right.... Huft.."
Allana took a breath and closed her eyes. He tried to calm himself.
"Pull your heart and your mind and change. Command your body. It is your body, yours and only you can control your body, not the body that controls you."
Allana kept her eyes closed and did what Beck said until there was heat coming from inside her body and the sound of broken bones. Allana turned into a wolf again. Beck comes forward and pins Allana's backpack into Allana's wolf mouth.
"Go."
Gyria, Allana and a few other wolves started running. They walked down the road they had been on as they headed to the Crysort pack society.
It was almost halfway through, but suddenly Gyria stopped her steps.
'Wait, don't run again!'
'What's gamma?'
'I smell human.'
Everyone started looking for the smell except Allana.
'Gamma. It smells human.'
'Try one of them walking closer. Find out where the human is. By its smell, man is not alone.'
'Good gamma, I'll go.'
One of them walked closer. Just a few steps away, his steps came to a halt, watching around, then he walked back.
"Right gamma, there's a bunch of humans over there. They seem to be camping. It looks like they're hunting animals'
"Can we get through them without them knowing where we are?'
'Can't gamma. We'll definitely be caught.'
'How is this?'
'Changed into a human.'
'Can't be Allana. We're going to night. Your place is still far away.'
'No problem, I'll find an excuse.'
'No, we don't want any trouble with your mother. Your mother is also a strong beta. I don't want him to forbid you from leaving anymore, anyway, because of this.'
Everyone was silent and thinking.
'We go the other way.'
'But gamma, beta already forbids us to go the other way. Too risky.'
'There's no other way. We're passing outside the territory and a little far away. So they won't come near us. It's almost dark, come on!'
Gyria ran followed by another wolf. They turned left onto the road that was forbidden to pass. They stopped again. Gyria took a more right-hand path, a bit away from the path Beck was referring to.
But all of a sudden Allana heard the sound of more and more footsteps.
'Gyria, did anyone join?'
'No Allana, we're after Foykolt's pack squad.'
'Pack... What's?'
'Allana Foykolt. Pack them up near here but they shouldn't be chasing us, this is neutral territory. Damnit damnit! Come on faster!!'
Gyria and the others accelerated their pace, only that Allana still could not be as fast as them. Some wolf pack Foykolt could pass Allana easily then stop right in front of Allana. Some other wolves on the right and left and also behind.
'Shit!'
'Who are you?' one of the wolves asked.
'I'm just a passing wolf.'
'What are you going through here for?'
'Hey, isn't this neutral territory? Everyone can get through here.'
'But not at the moment. Tell me where you're from? Your pack?'
'i... I'm...'
Allana's confused. He doesn't know what to say.
'I don't have a pack.' Allana finally replied.
'He rogue.' The troops began to stand by.
'No, no, no... I'm not rogue. I don't have a pack but I'm not a rogue.'
'You think we'll believe it? Only rogue has no pack.'
'But me... I'm...'
'He's from our pack.' Beck appeared with Gyria and the others.
'She was also from our pack' this time her brother Derek showed up with some wolves.
'Who are you guys really? Why are you both admitting he's a member of your pack?'
'My name is Derek Layforth, I'm a beta of Hysort's pack moon.'
'I'm Beck Brockys, I'm beta from Crysort's pack moon.'
'Chrysort? Isn't that pack extinct?'
'not necessarily. I'm Dean, gamma from Foykolt's pack moon. But.. How could he be a member of two packs?'
'He's a warrior of the Crysort pack'
'And he's my brother'
'But are you really the beta of the Hysort pack? Our pack is good friends with Hysort's pack and has been here several times, but I never saw you.'
'Do you not know if Hysort's pack has two betas?'
'I know it but-'
'I know him.'
The one wolf who just came with some other wolves.
'Abraham Alpha.'
'I told you, don't call me alpha. I'm not the alpha in Foykolt's pack anymore. My son became the alpha. I'm just an old man now. Call me Abe, Derek'
'I'm sorry Mr. Abe.'.
'What are you doing here? I just got off Hysort's pack and met with Dwaine's alpha.'
'Just pick up my sister and happen to be through here.'
'Sister? Ahhe... Who just became a werewolf?'
'Truly sir.'
'so... Hey, I know him. He's beta from the Hysort pack. Untie them.'
'Dean' call someone. Everyone look over.
'Beta'
'What is this? Alpha Abe, you're here too'
'We found one werewolf but strangely he has two packs'
'Two packs?'
'Yes beta, two packs. Pack moon Hysort and pack moon Crysort.'
'Chrysort? Bizarrely.. My name is Rome, a beta of Foykolt's pack moon. Alpha Arthur wants to meet. Please enter.'
Everyone looked at each other and finally got into the Foykolt pack. That pack looks like a normal town. They're still running through the woods toward Arthur's alpha house.
A while later, they reached the end of the forest. There is a magnificent house. The members of the Foykolt pack begin to transform themselves into humans and make their way to the house. Derek and his army along with Beck and his army also changed themselves. Allana is left.
"Al, you have to change yourself. We're already in another werewolf pack. We have to respect their alpha." whispered Gyria. Allana is trying to change. Unlike her turning herself into a wolf, Allana could easily turn into a human. Allana put on her shirt and then walked up to the troops from Foykolt's pack. They entered the magnificent house.
"Let's go in, you're all waiting inside."
"It seems you know our arrival" Derek said.
"Of course we know." Beta Rome just smiled a little.
Derek, Allana, Beck and Gyria went inside, while the others waited outside. The house also looks beautiful inside. Large and large. Spacious living room.
"Please sit down, I'll call Alpha soon."
Everyone sat down where they had been and waited in silence. No one is talking.
Before long, there were a few footsteps. Five people emerged from the house. One of them looked the same age as Allana and sat in the middle of the person who came with her earlier.
"Hello good night. My name is Arthur. Alpha from Foykolt's pack."
Allana's pov
"Hello good night. My name is Arthur. Alpha from Foykolt's pack."
Her... Alpha. But even he looks the same age as me.
"It's good to see alpha. I'm Derek, beta of the Hysort pack."
My brother started with his name and post on the pack, but strangely Beck just kept quiet.
"Dad? What are you doing there?"
I saw the alpha staring at one person who was quite old. Daddy's? Should he be a grandparent but that alpha call him dad?
"Dad just came from Hysort's pack."
"Don't I tell you to stay on the pack? There's been a lot of Rogue attacks lately and they've killed not only humans, but our people as well. How many of our pack members have been victims.'
"Start again with your nagging son. Dad's fine. Look at me not getting hurt one bit."
"Yes now, what about later?"
"Dad will be fine later."
"I want, from this moment on, you can't join this investigation. Enough at home."
"Ohh no, no, no... You can't take Dad's freedom."
"Dad... It's all for dad's good."
"What do you mean for dad's good? Just sit on the pack and lock dad up? I love Arthur's adventures, you know that. And this is an interesting case after the case with alpha Roger and King Kei's. Dad wants to come. This father is an alpha. I'm fine."
"Dad, being stubborn won't solve the problem."
"And getting dad out of all these problems doesn't solve them either. Dad wants to fight! Anyway, I can give you extra energy and ideas."
I saw the alpha snorting in annoyance. She looked very upset and leaned her back against the sofa. That old man named Abe was more stubborn than me.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience. It's just that my father was too stubborn and childish. Many say, an old man will be childish again and that's what my father is like."
I wanted to smile amusedly but with great difficulty I held him back. I saw the old man getting angry.
"Hey, hey.. You-"
"And we're on alert for Rogue's recent attack."
Even the alpha cut off his father's words. They're really interesting.
"No matter alpha, we understand."
"And I will also still send some of my troops to patrol together in neutral territory. How's things going? Has it been expelled? They're really troublesome pests."
"real alpha. They're very troublesome. We're still trying to kick them out." Derek replied.
"Had they not killed those humans, maybe they could still roam the area. But they dared to kill those humans. Does anyone know why?"
"I and alpha-I mean Mr. Abe, already trying to figure out the reason for the rogue we caught back then. They didn't give any answers. They kill themselves."
"I think there's a weird alpha."
The old man spoke again. Arthur looked at her. Gee whiz... There will be another cold war. It won't be finished.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm reporting as a pack member, not as your father."
"Akkhh alright. What's up dad? What's so weird?"
"They, that Rogue, are too organised and tidy. I mean, not like rogue usually. They always attack randomly and unguidedly. But this time they were very neat and left no trace. Rogue who killed themselves just because they were tortured to tell the truth."
"What did Mr. Abe say. It's so weird alpha."
"So you mean... They're not rogue?"
"No, they are rogue. It's certain. But there are those who take care of and train even lead them."
"Leading rogue? Which crazy person would do it?"
"We're still investigating alpha. But the longer it gets messed up. They're turning their targets from our kind to human. It's gonna be hard."
"Stay on patrol. We don't know what's going to happen but we have to be vigilant."
"Good alpha."
"Then... I heard there were two packs coming."
"They're from the Crysort alpha pack."
"What?"
This time, the father and son seemed to get along. They could even be surprised at the same time.
"But pack it-"
"Bone, yes I know. But that's what they say."
I stared at the beta called Rome. He looks quiet and handsome. He doesn't talk much and express much. But he's very handsome. Her pitch-black hair, her well-proportioned body, really pampered my eyes. Jeez Allana.. Don't start crazing here.
"So you mean Beta Derek,... You met them when you were gonna meet on our pack?"
"To be honest we're not going to meet you on your alpha pack, I just want to pick up my sister who was kidnapped by members of their pack."
L'm... Kidnapped?
"We didn't kidnap Allana!"
I saw Gyria start to scream. Oh, my God, just surprise me.
"really? Then why is he with you? Because of a good friend? I guess not. I know exactly who Allana's best friend is."
"Aahh so. If you're feeling the most right, then why are you keeping a secret about who Allana really is!"
"Stop! There's no point in fighting, especially in someone else's pack."
Beck started talking, I saw Gyria fall silent. He was very obedient to her.
"But sister, Allana was not kidnapped by them. Allana came along willingly." I said at last.
Everyone is staring at me. Even alpha and Mr. Abe.
"Allana was just training with their pack, nothing more and they treated Allana very well."
"Of course they treat you well Allana, they have the intention behind it all."
"Wish? Right. Make your brother a complete werewolf. It's not like you guys are just hiding it."
Derek growled furiously at Gyria. I tried to calm Derek down as much as I could.
"Wait first. You from Hysort's pack and your brother trained with Crysort's pack, how did that happen?"
"The story goes, sir, but the point is that they're using Allana and I want to stop her."
"He's a member of our pack!"
"She's my sister, she's definitely going to be a member of the Hysort pack."
"Well! How funny!"
Oh my God they fought again. I could only sigh deeply and bow my head. I don't know when this will continue. There will be no end. I'm not a member of any pack, why don't they understand!
I breathed a rough breath. I don't know why I suddenly shuddered. I felt a sharp look on me. I raised my head and looked for the direction of that gaze. I looked at the people in the room one by one. And can! Her... That alpha? I saw his sharp look and looked angry. Not like it was friendly. But why is he looking at me like that? Did I make a mistake with him? I don't remember ever meeting him.
"STOP!!"
The alpha started screaming loudly. Everyone was shocked and looked at him, and so did I.
"Arthur, why are you shouting like that? Just surprise dad."
"Keep that woman out of here."
"Female? Who?"
"He."
The alpha pointed... Me? What's wrong with me?
"He's the younger brother of beta Derek."
"I don't care who he's dad, get him out of here, out of my pack!"
"But why suddenly Arthur?"
"I've been uncomfortable since. It turns out she's."
"But he's fine!"
"Is there something wrong with my alpha brother?"
"Sure, he's wrong."
"What mistake? Have you met before?"
"Never"
"What was my son's fault? He just stayed there."
"The mistake is that he's my mate and I don't want him here. So take him out!!"
"M-mate?"
Everyone looked at me again. Wait a minute, mate? Human life partners are serious? One for a lifetime. Who's mater? Me?
