Lunar Whispers

Theo's POV

A knock came at the Alpha’s office.

“Come in” he said, his eyes not leaving the reports on his table. He smelt the familiar scent of his sister.

"Hey, big wolf.” Tessa called. Theo looked up and smiled at his sister.

“Hey Tess, how’s your morning going?” Theo asked. Tessa looked at his table filled with so many papers and answered.

“Better than yours Theo. Have you even had breakfast this morning?” She asked taking a seat.

“No miss, no alpha would be having breakfast with all the chaos going around in the nearby pack, Tessa." Theo answered. Tessa got up and returned in a few minutes with a cup of coffee.

“Here you go.” She said dropping the cup on the side of the table where they were no papers.

"Thanks, baby girl.” He said and sipped his coffee. “How’s preparation for your first shifting going?” Theo asked.

“Well, I’m getting ready. I’m so excited, I can’t wait.” Tessa cheered.

“I wonder what your wolf would look like.” Theo said wondering how her wolf would be when it comes out at first. According to the tradition, her wolf was close, meaning she was due for her first shifting which can happen at any full moon.

“Me too.” She said excitedly. “So what can I help you out with here? Wait, what did you say is going on with the nearby packs.” She asked suddenly curious.

“Rogues have been attacking and killing wolves in different packs. I got a call from Alex this morning, that one of his pack members was injured by a rogue last night. It's getting out of hand, we'll need to tighten our security around the border.” Theo explained. “Tessa, I need you to stay safe ok, don’t walk around alone at night. It’s pretty dangerous out there and we don’t know who’s behind this yet.” He added.

“I will but…” she couldn’t finish her statement as there was a knock on the door.

“Please, come in.” Alpha Theo called.

“Alpha” Colton greeted giving a bow. Alpha Theo gave a small nod, he could sense his worry.

“Colton? What’s going on?” The Alpha asked.

“Alpha, we are under attack.” Colton said, making Theo jump out of his seat. “Beta Carter and some pack warriors are already on their way to deal with the situation but I think you should come.” Colton added.

“Why should you need me to take out a bunch of rogues, Carter is there already right?” Alpha Theo asked.

“The attack is led by a she-wolf Alpha, we are not sure but she looks like a really strong she-wolf.” Colton said.

“That sounds ….” Alpha Theo gave a low growl, his green eyes turning slightly grey. He started feeling uneasy. His wolf was getting a little excited which got him a bit worried. "Why don't we go and take a look at this female?" his wolf said in his head with a little bit of excitement. "My pack is under attack and you're worried about meeting the attacker." He said to his wolf but didn’t get any reply.

“Alpha, what’s the plan?” Colton asked. Theo snapped out of his thought.

“Send a message to all pack members, all wolves should stay within reach, no one should wander too far especially women, children, and wolves that haven't shifted." He looked at his sister. "that includes you Tessa" Theo said in his alpha voice filled with authority.

"Yes Alpha, I'll do that immediately," Colton answered.

“Colton, where’s the attack taking place?” Theo asked.

“Close to the river at the end of the territory.” Colton answered and bolted out of the alpha's office.

“I need to go now." Theo said, taking one last sip of his coffee. He looked at his sister and could sense her fear. One of his abilities as an alpha is being able to feel the emotions of his pack members. He kissed his sister on the forehead and pinched her cheek a little. "I'll be back baby girl, I need to take out some rogues before they cause any danger, could you make me pancake please?” She smiled and she gave him a nod, he chuckled. Since their parents died and Theo became Alpha of the Moon Shine pack, Theo has been the only parent Tessa knew. They were years apart in age but it was difficult to notice because they acted like a couple of most times. Tessa could feel that her shifting was close, but what she wasn’t sure of is when it would take place.

Few minutes later

Theo ran using his alpha strength, he was getting close to the riverside. He felt a mixture of anger and excitement. The former was understandable but the latter was what he couldn't understand. Rogues caused the death of his parents, he was always angry and irritated by the sight of them and does not hesitate to rip their heads off. But why was he excited? He sensed a sweet smell of vanilla, it was almost intoxicating and it got stronger as he ran. Then he stopped and he realized something. The smell, the excitement, the pull, all this could only mean one thing. His mate was close by. Does that mean she was at the scene of the attack with rogues? The thought made him run faster. The smell got stronger.

He saw Carter fighting off a rogue. He could feel his canine coming out as he was shifting. He shifted into a big black wolf. In his wolf form, the smell was stronger. She was here somewhere. He had to find her. He hated rogues and it took him no time to jump on one and ripped his neck. He growled loudly and jumped on another. He showed no mercy, how dare they enter his territory. Then he saw her. She was in her wolf form. A brown wolf, almost the same size as him. He froze. Mate. His wolf said in his head. She was beautiful, strong, and fearless. He had found his mate. He saw Colton and Beta Carter’s wolf charging against her.

"Don't touch her." He mind-linked his beta.
