Chapter 4

Cean kept looking at this strange girl with hair the color of the moon, he could not believe he just found his mate, everyone was still waiting for him to talk but he could not say anything, the lady in question is staring at him too, his silence made everyone trace who he was looking at and there was audible gasp from people.

“Silence” he bellowed.

“ the moon has chosen a mate for me” he said finally and continued “but I choose my own destiny, I believe every lady here is entitled to be at my side, I am not rejecting my mate, mind you, but she must earn every right to be at my side, it is in our nature to survive, to fight , ours is a place where the strong rule and the weak serve, so she will fight, from below the food chain, only the strong is allowed to stay by my side, so I make the position of the lunar open for challenge”.

Rowen could not believe what she was hearing, she did not ask for this, she just wanted to go home, what kept running through her mind is why is ‘why is my case always different”. She did not know that her family had surrounded her and her father held her hand. She looked up at her father and he notice that there were tears in her eyes.

“Don’t you let that tears drop” her father told her strongly “you are Rowen, a direct descendant of Lucas O'Leary and we do not back down from any challenge”. She nodded and swallowed her tears, her father, mother and siblings were her strength and she was drawing strength from their love. She looked up and notice that the alpha was no longer talking but frowning, looking particularly at the hand placed on her waist by her twin brother. What’s his stress she thought, he just particularly rejected her in his own way, how can she fight all these ladies, she’s not ….

“What is your name little one and your families name?” her thoughts were interrupted by the alpha.

Before she could form the words, her father answered. “Her name is Rowen a direct descendant of Lucas O'Leary”.

“Hmm, an old and acknowledged name, alpha Anthony I have had a lot about you and what you do for my people, I mean no disrespect to you or your family but your daughter will have to fight and a descendant of O'Leary should understand this yes”.

“I do sir” her father bowed low.

“Good” he continued and then he faced Rowen “say your good byes to your family and follow the warrior I will send to you”. He turned, waved to the crowed and left.

Just like that, the atmosphere returned back to its original form. Rowen turned and looked around her and noticed that the females were smiling and looking at her, she felt so small. Her family held her tightly, her mother could not stop crying and her brothers surrounded and their stance was like daring anyone to challenge her now.

“Rowen, listen to me” her father held her two hands and looked at her directly in the eye, “use everything I have thought you, release your wolf, you have to dominate your wolf first and connect your instinct to that of your wolf”.

“Yes father”. She replied

“Continue your early morning run it connects your wolf to the earth and meditate always, it binds and makes you one with your wolf”. Her father looked up and noticed a warrior approaching them and rushed on.

“Above everything else don’t let them see you cry or break down, we will come visit you from time to time, and always hold your phone, we will always call, we love you” he kissed her on her head and she noticed her father was trying to hold his emotions in. Her mother hugged her tightly and placed her hand on her daughter’s chest and looked her directly in her eyes.

“Rowen, don’t show mercy to any challenge issued, hit them hard, fall down if you must but stand up again, remember always were you come from”.

“Thanks mum”. She hugged her parents and brothers and turned to the warrior waiting for her.

“This way please” he pointed towards a corridor, she followed him, turned and waved to her family, she noticed her friend was nowhere to be found. She kept turning back until she could not see her family again.
