Chapter 103 – Under The Moonlight
“Relra, you must hand this child over to the Alpha. Think of how powerful our pack could become in the future! It has been centuries since a beast with a special bloodline has been born within our pack.”
An old silver wolf exclaimed with happiness, as he gazed into the eyes of a dark female wolf under the bright light of the moon above.
“Father, if I hand her over to him, Avi’s life will be devoid of any happiness and she will only have a future of bloodshed and violence. I do not want her to be a warrior.”
Relra softly stated, while taking a quick glance down at the sleeping pup near her belly.
“She has the ancient bloodline of our ancestors, Relra, and there is no way that the Alpha will let her live a normal life. Are you sure about this?”
The old wolf asked in a despondent tone.
He knew that if Relra went through with her plan, then she would be putting her own life at risk, as the Alpha will not dare to harm Avi.
“She is my daughter, I will gladly exchange my life so she can fully live hers. Will you help me, father?”
Relra turned her bright eyes towards her father.
“Sigh… leave right now then. Tonight is a full-moon, so Lexren will be training for a while. It is your best chance of making an escape without the entire pack knowing.”
The old wolf conveyed while slowly standing up on his four feet.
“Thank you, father.”
Relra’s eyes moistened, as she gently grasped the sleeping pup with her teeth and sprinted into the darkness of the night.
“Make your grandfather proud, Avi. You are the greatest hope of our bloodline…”
The old wolf let out a slight smile when the dark wolf departed from the area, and waited for the young Alpha to detect that a member of his pack had just severed her bond.
………………………
*swish-swish*
Swiftly darting around in the forest, Relra frantically sped ahead before the Alpha found out about her. She had already severed the mental connection from the pack, so the others would definitely alert Lexren, rousing him from his training.
“ruff?”
The little pup groaned, the uneven gait of Relra waking her up from her nap.
“It’s alright, little one, just go back to sleep. Mommy just has to run for a while.”
Relra sent her thoughts to the baby beast, focusing on making her quick escape.
“AWOOOOOOOO!”
A series of howls echoed in the night, eliciting a curse from Relra.
Noticing the sense of urgency within her mother, Avi quickly turned silent and looked at the only thing that was visible in the dark night.
The bright shining moon above.
………………………….
Pain.
It was the first time she ever felt this much physical pain in her life. Even now, she could still feel the cold claws of the hooded beast that dug into her neck.
Pain.
