Chapter 2

" My son, your wolf is sleeping, and I need you to train him and show him everything he needs to learn to be an alpha and a warrior. They may attack us if they know about it, we have received reports of wolves leaving their packs because of a pack and rebels who want to overthrow the Great Circle, plus the deaths of wolves around the packs. "I say, Anamali knows everything and is sometimes responsible for finding out the cause of the deaths.

"Yes, uncle, I will train Logan. But about the deaths... We have to bury the bodies, it is disrespectful to leave them there in the open or call the coroner and the human police, Doctor Bianca's report is that they are human." Says

"That changes everything, we should call the governor and our representative". I say and everyone nods, "But first, come here Logan, let me see if you know how to fight."

For the first time I saw a smile on his lips. Just like himself, his son loved a challenge. His fists prepared, the trees moved with the wind, the sky was overcast and people gathered in the open training area. Logan distributed punches recklessly, missing them all, drawing laughter from the veterans, but that didn't stop him from laughing for a second.

"You abandoned me and my mother" His voice came out vicious as he tried to land punches. I threw a counterattack and dodged.

"I didn't abandon them, your mother ran away" I say panting as I start my attacks. There seemed to be just the two of us, with no one around. The first drops of rain begin to fall and the smell of damp earth invades the place and my wolf instincts call me to flee. Logan stopped the fight, we were panting and sweating.

"I... Dad, I need to talk to you and find out what happened and why I'm not like you guys and wasn't even raised here? If everyone is a warrior and a wolf, I don't need to go to the human world." Logan comments and I call him for a walk to the house in the Village Center, the alpha's house was the first to be created with a large hall for special occasions. We walk in silence as I think about how to explain everything that happened twenty years ago.

The image of me and Lunaris catches Logan's eye, he was on my lap on his one-year birthday.

"Mister alpha? Sorry to bother you" We turned around, it was Bruno, the watchman of the Tower "The governor is here in person visiting with his father, leader of the lions of the East."

"Thank you, call the elders and the doctor. Ask Gustavo to prepare something for us to serve the governor. "The boy bows and leaves.

"The governor? Is he one of you ?" Logan asks, looking at the portraits of the alphas that came before me.

"Not one of us, a lion Logan, and he came to see you." I say, and he looks scared. "You are special, that's why your mother hid you. I need you to go to your room, get changed, and only show up when I call."

I watch him go upstairs, and he doesn't seem to have heard half of what I said.

Likewise, I sigh tiredly, this day is very complicated.

"Alpha, Jake, three more humans killed in the same place." This time we found out they are hybrids, one is in our hospital in serious condition.

I sit down on the sofa, as do the others. The governor came personally with his father, leader of the lions, there is more to all this he always sends his assistant and brother.

"Good afternoon" We turned around and saw them at the door.

"Speaking of him" Blackverus comments.

"I apologize for the unannounced visit, but I came to advance the matter while my brother arrives. The lions were attacked by the mist warriors two days ago and the scout who carried the message was killed near Milleboor forest. We have reports of the deaths and this matter needs the governor's intervention. " He reports as he shows us the papers and probably includes a professional investigation.

Bowing and silent, the governor entered without much ceremony, he joked with me when we were kids.

"Jake! How time passes" he says to me smiling

"Lionel"

Tension seeing the photos of the attacks on the table followed by a sigh.

"We have several crime scenes. A serial killer, kills here on the reservation, Maybe you expected wolves, bears and felines to feed on the corpses? We never had a survivor. " He tells me to sit down.

"Excuse me, Mr. Governor, but our hospital got a survivor from that last attack, he is in a coma and in a serious condition." The doctor shows the chart. "Female, Caucasian, her appearance borders on 30 years old, claw marks, cuts and signs of abuse. "

" No! I will hunt them down personally!" The Governor roars, looking like he would turn into a Lion at any moment "The surviving woman in those pictures, is my fiancée!" He roars transforming and rushes out the door.

"Not that one, if we don't stop him he could kill and do a lot of damage to the humans." His father says and Jake looks up the stairs and sees his son standing there scared. We hear screams and run in time to see Alysha and Lionel about to fight, Anamali in wolf form as well. I turn when I hear the sounds of gunshots. I start running towards it and just smell blood, screams seem distant as I run. We all stopped at the sight of the scene.

Anamali didn't know what had happened, Jake asked her to go back and not to let his son, Logan, see the crime scene. Too late, he was standing next to her.

"You can't stop me, I stopped being a child years ago. " He says and feels Anamali hold his wrist but doesn't turn around, Alysha pulls them behind the tree.

Logan approaches her angrily. " You? You are from here too, and you never told me ?"
