The SilverBorn Pack
Helios woke up screaming again. This has been going on since the night he got his wolf. He sees himself in a situation he hardly remembers and only wakes up to the memory of being stabbed.
He saw there was new food on the table and the old plates had been taken out.
He opened the curtains and took in the view. He could live here forever but something inside tells him this is just the first phase and not the last.
He freshened up, dressed, ate the food.
He was arranging his box when he heard a knock on the door.
"It's open I guess, come in" Helios answered.
One of the palace maidens entered and stopped on her track immediately she saw Helios.
She had never seen anyone that good looking.
"It's rude to stare" Helios said smiling awkwardly.
The Maiden quickly snapped out of her head and she felt this wave of embarrassment, she played with her fingers, while staring at the floor.
"Are you here for something?" Helios asked.
She nodded.
"The Princess is waiting for you, you are to come with me to the Palace" She said without raising her head.
"Let's go, I'm done already" he said as he closed his box.
She ran out of the room and was walking fast ahead of him, he followed her silently wondering what he did wrong.
When they got to the palace, Helios saw the princess was not alone, she had other people in the palace with her.
As soon as he walked him, he could feel the eyes on him, it was awkward so he decided to focus on the one person he has Atleast had a form of familiarity with. He walked over to the princess and bowed.
"Good afternoon, Your highness, Princess Isadora. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, I'm grateful."
"You are welcome. I'm glad you like the place. Please sit, we will like to discuss some things with you" She pointed at an empty seat that Helios thought was purposely kept for him because of the position of the seat. After he sat down, the princess continued.
"I'll like you to explain how you got here again."
Helios cleared his throat and explained everything in details again the way he did last night. When he was done, the princess spoke up again.
"Since this is your first time in a wolf territory we will give you the ground rules on how to behave like a wolf and everything you should know, that's if you decide to stay here longer"
"I'll love to stay here longer, if it's not a burden on anyone, I don't know how to effectively contribute to a pack but I learn fast so you won't have to feel burdened by me, if you will have me" Helios Bowed again.
"That's settled then, and please don't bow to me again, it makes me uncomfortable. Priestess Astraea will tell you all you need to know"
"You may be wondering why a full pack is sitted to decide whether you stay or you don't.
We are not like every typical pack.
A typical pack consists of wolves with Rankings Alpha, Beta,Omega. Wolves are typically the expected to avoid wolfsbane and silver, as this can weaken their wolves and also reduce their healing rate.
Some are not wolves, they are Vampire Clans, some are Witches, and a lot more species out there.
Each species keep to their kind and within this kind there are different groups. Do you get it up to this point?" Priestess Astraea asked Helios who simply nodded. He could feel the gazes on him but he was more interested in understanding the truth.
"We are different from the typical packs because we are all not originally from this pack, one way or the other we were all brought here to fulfill destiny. This pack cannot be discovered by mere eyes, as the moon goddess has hidden this place from those who are not part of the prophesy. You being here means you are a part of the prophecy."
"Prophecy?, what is it about?" Helios asked.
"We all have our different roles to play, it is left for you to discover it all by yourself. One important piece, the moment you enter this place you become immune to wolfsbane and silver, You cannot tell anyone. Do you understand this much?" The priestess asked him.
"Yes I do. It all makes much sense. I believe I'll figure it out on the way and I'm also grateful that you let me stay here for now. I just have one question, What is this prophecy will are all expected to fulfill about?
"When it's time to know, it will be revealed, just give it time." Pristess Astraea replied.
" I'll also like to add that you have a very strong aura and from what you've explained your wolf is still weak, you need to fully awaken your wolf so you can align with destiny. Darian will teach you everything you need to know about being a wolf, when you are done. I'll like to talk with you privately" Princess Isadora said.
Darian stood up and motioned to Helios to follow him, Helios stood up bowed and followed Darian.
Princess Aurora's Quarters.
"Are you waiting for Alpha Helios?" Beta Cassia asked.
"I find you extremely annoying, this is how I am dressed every evening but you will make a big deal of it because you want to prove a point." Princess Isadora said feigning anger but Beta Cassia saw beyond the facade and erupted in laughter.
"My Princess, you wore a simple evening dress yesterday, the evening before that when you had a meeting with the pack, you didn't even put on any accessories and now you are putting on a full dinner dress, your hair is done and all accessories worn, you most definitely don't dress like this everyday" Beta Cassia teased.
"Leave my room, I don't want a Beta anymore, I'm done with you" Princess Isadora playfully pushed Beta Cassia towards the door.
"Fine, I'm leaving, one more thing, your lipstick is kind of smudged"
Princess Isadora quickly rushed to the mirror to fix it only to see it was intact and Beta Cassia erupted in laughter again before rushing out the door.
There was a quick rap on the door and Princess Isadora did a last minute check to make sure she's perfectly dressed before opening the door.
" You are here, Come…" She stopped when she saw Beta Cassia who was trying so hard to hold on the laughter. Princess Isadora laughed and tried closing the door on Beta Cassia but Beta Cassia d held the door from closing so the Princess opened it back.
"What do you want?" Princess Isadora asked trying to avoid Beta Cassia's gaze.
"I wanted to tell you that I understand you and I'll do more if I were in your position, I just saw him with Darian and Damnnnnnn!!!!" Beta Cassia said laughing as the princess closed the door.
"That girl will be the death of me" The Princess smiled to herself.
There was another knock on the door, louder this type.
" Cassia, what will happen if I have peace, will you die?, why are you so bent on tormenting me" The princess lamented as she opened the door. She was more surprised to see Helios at the door.
"Oh, you are here, Come in please" She said feeling slightly embarrassed.
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting, I decided to change my clothes before coming to see you.
You are so beautiful and that dress is perfect." Helios said trying to bring down the tension in the room.
"Thank you. I'm sorry you had to hear those words, I thought it was someone else at the door"
"I'm good" Helios smiled at her.
"Sit here" she pointed at the Chair in front of her, when Helios sat down, she continued.
"Do you have a mate?"
"I don't know yet, I don't think so. Darian explained it to me and no I don't think so yet"
"Do you feel her alive?" Princess Isadora asked.
"My wolf hasn't said anything about a mate, yet" Helios explained and the Princess nodded.
"Before I came here, my original pack was attacked and my mate died in the process, we both got our wolfs early."
"That must have been awful for you."
"That's not why I invited you here, I wanted you to have dinner with me" She smiled at him
