Chapter one

An ancient history is about to repeat itself, it was a tradition that was long forgotten because the previous alphas easily found their mate and they were contended with who the moon goddess chose for them, but this is not the case of the current alpha, so the elders had to choose this long-forgotten method to choose a mate for the alpha, because the bloodline of the alphas has to continue, their survival depends on that. The alpha is connected to every member of his pack, he is kind of a source and a reservoir of strength to his people, he alone has a direct connection to the moon goddess and he draws his formidable strength from her.

There is only one alpha, there can only be one alpha but the pack was very large and had to be divided into many villages with leaders in each unit and each leader were referred to as the deltas, they are so strong and can be confused for the alpha unless you have met the alpha directly.

The atmosphere in the pack changed from the normal one to the celebratory one when it was announced a week ago, there was much activity going in the pack, everyone was so happy except for the family of O'Leary.

They were seated on their well-furnished living room looking at each other sadly.

"She will be fine Anthony, she might not even be chosen by the alpha". Anna kept repeating the same words to her husband while holding her favorite tea cup nervously, it was obvious she did not believe what she herself was saying. Rowen was cuddled up on a large chair with her two sibling Conor and Fion, they too were holding her as if they were about to lose her that very moment

"You don't know that Anna, my baby girl is one of the most beautiful and you know that".

Rowen rolled her eyes "Dad you are now been dramatic, there are far more beautiful girls than me in this pack and besides the alpha might find his mate when we all gather in the field tomorrow".

"And the worst part is that I have not seen that bastard for once ". her father bellowed and ignored her, as if she had not spoken.

Her mothers’ eyes rolled in shock and she picked a small pillow and threw it at him. "Words Anthony, to think you are the one teaching the twins to use this wrong words, I know we are all worried but the twins tends to use your words while they speak".

"Am sorry Anna mine, but I want our pup to be ok".

That was when Rowen noticed that her dad was visibly shaking, that means he is finding it had to hold his wolf in. She untangled herself from the twin who were still moping, they had told her stories of what they have learned from their friends who claimed they have seen the alpha and how cruel he can be. She went to her dad and hugged him from behind and he calmed down, she could feel each muscle relaxing, he was so strong she thought, and there was no question to why he was chosen as the leader of their sub pack.

"Dad if it will make you feel better, I promise to stay at the back and not let myself be seen till he chooses a bride". she hugged her dad tightly, she always felt safe when he was close and it worries her to see to see him this way, how bad can the alpha be, she thought.

" I wished i allowed you dye your hair when you wanted to do it, the whiteness of your hair makes you stand out more" he turned and hugged her "but make no mistake mama, i love the way you look and will not change it for anything". He always use the term “mama” whenever he wants to pacify her, it was rumored that she looked exactly like his mum.

When she had a silent weeping, she turned to see her mum crying silently.

"Common guys" she raised her two hands up in surprise. "Is there something am not aware of because am still here but you all are acting as if the alpha already chooses me".

"it’s nothing like that baby girl" her mother answered quickly "we just love you so much".

"Mum, you and dad are really scaring her, not only her but we too feel like there is more to this". Conor finally spoke and Fion the quiet one among the two just nodded in agreement.

"That not true" her mother waved her hand dismissively. "You all should go to bed, it already late and we don't want Rowen to disobey the alpha and arrive late to the field, so everyone up and get moving".

"But mum...." Conor continued

"Not one word from you young man" her mother retorted angrily.

So, they stood up, said their good nights and went to their various room.

Immediately they went to their rooms, Anna turned to her mate with a wide eye

"it’s happening as the seer foretold Anthony".
