Caleb's Point of View
Curiosity was getting the better of me, I needed to know who that wolf girl was that I seen thismorning. I simply could not get her off my mind. Theo tried to distract me by going over next weekstraining schedule, but my heart and mind were not in it. Finally, he gave up and asked me if Iwanted to walk around this pack's territory. I readily agreed, which lead him to teasing me aboutpossibly running into a certain girl. «
Simply being outside relaxed my muscles and put a smile on my face. Looking around I noticed thatthe Silver Moon pack had done a great job in the way they had structured their buildings. TheManor House was center but towards the back giving the inhabitants a great view of the woods.Their meeting hall was off to the left, with an array of small shops surrounding it. The pack membershouses were spread along the north side of the town, and beyond those were the guard shacks.Being at the base of the blue mountains gave them a strategic advantage if rogues were to attackbecause they could be spotted easily. 2
“This is a nice little village for a pack.” Theo was trying to draw me out to speaking. He could tellthat I was surveying my surroundings. I enjoyed that my Beta knew me so well.
"Yes, they have done a great job at using their location to their advantage and buildingaccordingly.” I quickly noticed that there was some commotion near the meeting hall and started inthat direction, Theo following quickly beside me.
When I arrived at the meeting hall, I found some of my warriors and some of the Silver Moon packwarriors had been wrestling around. It took little observation to realize that during one of theplayful tussles, someone had taken it seriously and now warriors on both sides were growling readyto rip each other to shreds. Werewolves are naturally prideful, and this can quickly lead to gravemisunderstandings.
I quickly stepped between the two sides of boys getting ready to brawl and glared at my warriors.
“Il do not think that it would be wise to start an all-out brawl before the Mabon ball.” I then turnedmy gaze to the Silver Moon pack warriors. “Wouldn't our time be better spent getting ready todance with these beautiful young ladies.” I turned and pointed out that their growling had attracteda lot of spectators, many of them young ladies. * Now I expect each of you to shake each otherhands and disperse immediately to make yourselves presentable.” I
I stepped back to allow the boys to shake hands and make amends with the others. As they weredoing that my eyes were scanning the gathered spectators, hoping that I would recognize the eyesof the young wolf this morning. Disappointment quickly laced its way through my veins when I didnot see her in attendance. I went back to watching the last of the boys shaking hands and sighedhappily that there did not seem to be any lasting animosity among them. Just asl was turning backto Theo, a blur caught my peripheral vision.
Dashing out of the meeting hall heading towards the manor house was a girl. She had long tonedlegs, and wild hair flowing behind her as she ran towards the house. Why had I not seen heryesterday or this morning at breakfast? It struck me as odd that she kept towards the outskirts of allactivity, as if she was purposely avoiding all contact with anyone. I immediately wanted to meet her.There was something about her that reminded me of the wolf this morning. I would not be surethough until I seen her eyes. ©
“Theo do you see the woman running towards the back of the manor house?”
“Yes, Alpha.”
“Do you recall meeting her yesterday, or seeing her at breakfast this morning?” :
“No Alpha, there were not many females in attendance this morning.
The Luna, the Beta’s wife, that blonde woman that was trying to flirt with you unsuccessfully, and afew others but I do not recall any female with hair like that.”
“Theo I want to meet her. I am also very curious as to why she is hidden away from everyone. I thinkshe may have been the wolf I met this morning. Even if she is not, I am intrigued by the mysterysurrounding her.”
“I will inquire quietly about her Alpha. I do not think that it would be wise if anyone knew you wereinquiring about her directly, so I will ensure that it is done discretely.” I nodded at Theo's words. MyBeta was very good at acquiring information, and I knew before the day was done he would havesomething on her.
