What the prophecy was about

'Why, because they are women and are not afraid to defend their  pack?' Mark's little sister; Peace, the Gamma, made her presence known. She was a woman yet she held the third highest power and rank in the pack.

She also had her share of being merciless.  She adored the Alpha queen who was also known as the warrior queen.

At the time, they were just acquaintances because she usually met up with her and her Beta in meetings.

So she had hoped they could be friends but no, her brother had to just ruin it all up for her.

'Not that they are women,' Mark tried to reason with her.

Unlike her name; Peace, his little sister was someone who could and would hold a grudge for about a decade.

'Even you are a woman too. It just doesn't sit right with me- with us, to have a woman fight for us while we do something else. We can not endanger our women while we cowardly hide behind their backs,' Nathan continued and oh boy did he wish he had kept his mouth shut.

She glared at them with so much anger, that one could think she was going to draw out her sword.

Mark scoffed at them both. Nathan's explanation wasn't what was eating him up.

However, he didn't want to lose the respect they had for him so he simply added, 'The women even though are the leaders, when they come home and remove their armors and put down their swords, they show respect to their husbands but Judith is not like that."

That terrified Peace.

She widened her eyes and shook her head.  She knew she was the only woman in the Ace pack that could probably slap the Alpha and his Beta and go unpunished,  nonetheless, she didn't want to waste her time; there was no way she could change their minds.

She also wondered why her brother concluded that Judith would not be a good woman for him when he had not even seen her as one.

If it wasn't a meeting they were both attending as Alphas, she doubted the two would ever meet.

What was more?

Judith felt undeniably the same way Mark felt. She also did not like the fact that he was her mate.

And not just that; to her, the war had nothing to do with gender. She never cared how little the other packs thought of their women when in their own homes but she was never going to allow any of the Alphas to disrespect her.

Right from childhood, she and her beta had been training. Not once or twice had she slugged.

Ever since she was little, she was being reminded of how the peace among all the packs and even beyond werewolves, laid in her hand: Once about in a century, the war god and moon goddess would appoint a war leader among the  Alphas.

During wars, the war leader would be handed the flaming sword which by the leader's decision would use the sword to bring peace and end the war.

However, the sword did not appear always during fights they had fought and so Judith had yet not seen and held it.

The flaming sword was supposed to magically appear in the leader's hand and whoever tried to touch it, got burnt.

The war leader had always been a male so when the prophecy came that a woman was going to be chosen,  that ruffled all the packs.  

Every pack yearned for daughters after the prophecy.

Whenever their wives got pregnant, they'd secretly lay offerings before the moon goddess hoping she'd bless them with daughters.

One day as both Lunas of the Hilltop and Ace packs had announced their pregnancies,  the then Gamma of the Hilltop pack had a servant who was also carrying a child- there were three pregnancies announced on the same day.

After a few months after the physician had announced that all the three pregnancies were females,  they thought a war would've paved its way into the kingdoms but to their amazement, none of the packs were ready to start one.

On the contrary, the fathers named them to appease the gods and goddesses. Judith; meant to praise and Serena meant calmness.  

Mark's father was last to name their little girl, whose name got praised by the pack as the name he had chosen for the daughter seemed almost applauding; Peace. If the War queen was supposed to bring peace during wars, then she should bare a name to match her title.

What made them believe it was among the three girls that the leader was to be chosen from, was that when they were born, the full moon birthed another full one and so there were two moons joined together.
