A Message From The Moon Goddess

"Just fucking go!" He keeps yelling but the pack members stare at him weirdly, crazily and they all assume in their minds that he's out of his mind.

"He's talking trash." Cole, one of the pack members, remarks. "Why should an Alpha start fleeing?"

"Don't say that." Jude clips but fixes his gazes at a direction, thinking of the next line of action.

"We have to face the packs ourselves. We dare not be intimidated. Alright?" He cools Andrew down, and Fred retires to his official seat. Once he sits down, a knock is heard on the door.

"Who is that, please?" Fred says in his Alpha tone. That's to say, he issued a command and must get an answer.

"We greet your pack house and pack members. We come in peace but to leave you in pieces." The baritone voice rattles, making them shiver without even seeing them face to face yet.

Fred sighs, as he gesticulates to Jude to open the door. Through the other door at the end, the pack members retreat to their rooms and respective fields with alacrity. Jude and Andrew, the two Betas of Fred, and Fred are now left in the room. Jude rubs his chest with his palm, and sighs as he jerks the door open.

Alpha Kenneth walks in, winking at Fred. His two Betas enter as well after he does, and they both stand in respect to Fred.

"Alpha Fred!" Kenneth calls, and Fred widens his smiles. "It's been a while, actually." Then he salutes him.

"Is this who you were running from like an asshole?" Jude whispers into Andrew's ears, and he nods. Jude knocks on his forehead, and slightly punches his nose.

"It's a peaceful Alpha, don't fear." Jude tells him, and he nods in response.

"So, Alpha Kenneth..." Fred rises to his feet. "...what has brought you here?"

Alpha Kenneth walks up to him, and stands face to face with him.

"To deliver a message from the moon goddess." He purrs, slightly irritating Jude.

"Oh, thanks! We do have those responsible for that." Fred chuckles softly, his eyes ranging around the room for a good response.

"I know. But this is more important. Can we talk?" Kenneth says, and winks at Jude.

"But we are talking right now. Just let's have our seat..." Jude says. "...over here." He points to the Alpha's official chatting room designed with various kinds of flowers. Such Alpha is to smell the flower, and the smell that belongs to the pack would affirm what kind of flower to pluck while discussing.

In this werewolf kingdom, moon goddess can't appear to you until you are with flowers that suit your scent. No matter the urgency of the situation, moon goddess would never appear. Alpha Kenneth walks and chuckles as he pricks the flowers one by one, sniffing it in and out.

"Andrew" Jude calls him. "Please, stay at the main entrance, and alert us should any pack wants to barge in or there's some sort of commotion. The Alpha's mind link is active. Mine is, and the pack's is."

"Sure, boss." Andrew bows a little bit, and walks away from the chatting room.

"So, Alpha Kenneth..." Fred speaks haggardly. "...which is your smell?"

"This one that smells like banana." One of his two Betas says, and plucks it out.

"Here, Alpha!" He gives it to Fred, and he accepts it as they all enter into the main room to discuss. With Jude. Excluding Andrew.

Jude shuts the door behind himself, and deactivates his scent.

"Alpha Kenneth, we are now right in the room. What has moon goddess got for me?" Fred asks, his hands folded across his arms.

"Beta Jude, can you sit as well?" Kenneth asks, and Jude nods but slightly.

"My Betas are also sitting. Can you...?" He repeats, and Jude cuts in as he sits on one of the couches.

"Moon goddess has shown me a revelation about your child abroad." He speaks up, and adjusts his position. "To confirm her statements to me, she said she would return here in palace by tomorrow morning."

Fred sighs. Jude exhales.

"Daybreak even." Kenneth adds, and Fred shrugs.

"Okay, since we know that now. What's next?" Jude asks. "Should we tell her not to return next morning?"

Kenneth wants to speak but Fred cuts in, with his hands in air and eyes shut.

He reopens his eyes, and says, "Kenneth, I've known you to be a very good Alpha that has been helping me since I got on throne but if I may ask, did you come alone? Is this the message you stressed us to listen to? What do you mean by leaving us in pieces?"

For the last question, one of Kenneth's Betas clears his throat, and inhales.

"Alpha Fred of Rise Moon pack, moon goddess has revealed to me that Emilia, your one and only daughter pup..." he sighs.

"Is in danger?" Jude asks.

"Is dead?" Fred asks.

"None. She is my mate." He retorts, and both Fred and Jude go silent. After a while, Fred clicks his tongue and exhales sharply.

"So, this has been your intention all this while!" Fred tries as much as possible not to raise his voice but he is kind of losing it. He has promised his daughter to get mated to Alpha Matt because of his strength, kindness, coolness, fame and wealth - name it! Why would Kenneth, just a cheap Alpha though strong but not capable of owning a pack, would just come take her up? So easily? Damn.

"Just to let you know, Alpha and Beta. We take our leave." He says, and stands to his feet. He bows his head a bit, and his two Betas do same thing. "We shall come here tomorrow morning for her."

Then he walks out, jerking the door open but suddenly, Jude's words stop him in his tracks.

"Can you give us some sort of evidence?" Jude asks, plainly and rising to his feet, he walks up to him.

"This is Alpha Fred that has been reigning for thirty one years. I've been with him for ten good years." Jude rants.

"That doesn't matter. Moon goddess revealed it to me." Kenneth retorts. "I'll drop my scent with you; maybe you can ask about me from the moon goddess tonight?"

Fred shrugs from inside, and he winks. Kenneth throws the banana scent at him and Jude catches it, though it almost falls.

"Alright. Let's go." Kenneth tells his Betas and they walk away from them.

"You're not going to have her. Do not ever return here!" Fred's wolf is taking control a bit. Fred inhales multiple times to tuck his wolf back in.

"Prove stubborn, and we will leave you in pieces as we earlier stated." Kenneth smirks, and doesn't listen to any other further resentment. He walks away with repeated thuds, and soon, he makes his way out of the pack house. Fred and Jude retire to the main room, and Andrew walks up to them with curiosity."

"What really happened?" He smiles widely but the smiles soon fade out as he discovers the countenance of both Jude and Fred.

"Summon the moon goddess." Fred clips, clicking his tongue and hitting his head in fury.

"How, sir?" Andrew asks in a quavering tone. Fred looks at him with his red eyes, turning into his wolf already, Andrew then nods multiple times as he makes his way out of the room to get those responsible for summoning the moon goddess.

After getting outside the room and beckoning to one of the gammas to come over to him, Karen, the head of those responsible for summoning moon goddess for the Rise Moon Pack enters the room again with him.

"These are the reports." Karen, the head of staffs responsible for summoning moon goddess, reads out. "Moon goddess herself has chosen Emilia, your only daughter to get mated to an Alpha of a pack."

"Come on, be clear. Open the damn sheets on time!" Fred retorts in fury.

"Make sure his wolf doesn't thrust out." He tells one of the staffs, and he walks over to Fred to calm him down. One of the staff.

"The Alpha of a pack that has the sweet smell of fragrance has been chosen by the moon goddess for the princess of this pack." He adds. "I rest my case."

He bows a bit, his hands saluting the Alpha through the forehead. Then, he with his staff members, walk out of the room with their backs turned away from the door.

"He has given us the verdict. Next line of action is to discover the Alpha with the sweet smell of fragrance." Andrews says, and Jude nods.

"We would wait for her arrival tomorrow." Fred retorts. "Till then, don't discuss a thing about her. You can get to your damn businesses now!"

Jude and Andrew obey as they have been strictly ordered. They move to the field to train some wolves how to attack rogues. After few minutes, Fred joins them in the field. He smiles as he realizes his pack members are getting to know the basics of fighting rogues.
