I stood at the balcony, carefully observing the pack members working all over the place trying to get a part of their work done.

I kept wondering what the fuss was all about .My father,the Alpha of Light Moon pack kept barking orders at pack members.

Apparently the Alpha king has been making rounds all over the East Region of packs .it was a tradition for the Alpha king to check on the welfare of the werewolves.

He goes to every pack to see how they are fairing and to check if everything is running smoothly and the pack members are satisfied.

Stories had it that the Alpha king has the right to denounce an Alpha's position if he notices any mistreatment or disunity in a park.

Even as Alpha born , everyone still tried their best to not be on the Alpha king bad side.

The way my father speaks of him with hate and fear.He portrays him as a ruthless and blood sucking animal,one that doesn't show mercy.

Since the announcement of the Alpha king's arrival, rumors have spread fast like wildfire . People had different narratives about some which I believed tho.

Someone said he never smiles no Matter the circumstance

Another said he is quick to snap a wolf's neck if he was having a bad day.

Another said he always dressed himself in a cloak because he was a vampire and having direct contact with the sun would be unbearable for him.

I gasp when I heard the word,at that instant I knew it was a lie .I have never met the Alpha king but in the werewolves community,they don't allow close contact with vampires, In Fact they were sworn enemies and they never co_exist.

And if truly the Alpha king was a vampire,his scent would have given him away

And he would have been killed long ago

Nobody really knows what he looks like, still sharing the narrative of his looks too.He was said to be a weird person.

After his father's death,he sacked most of the workers and only had a few servants at his beck and call. He lives at the outskirts of the East Region,only seen during his customary rounds.

My dad, Alpha Gerald was not someone I would call a good Alpha,he cares solely about himself and his mate.

My momma died a few years after my birth and my dad was left to sulk for the loss of his mate.

I noticed my mother's friend was frequenting the pack house where my father's chambers were located .I was just a child and I didn't know what was going on .

A year after my mom's death.a Luna ceremony was held and Helen, my mother's friend, was marked by my dad and pronounced the Luna of the Light moon pack.

In the werewolves community they are the soulmates and acquired mates .

The mom is my dad's soulmate.Their union was ordained by the Moon goddess.There are fated mates

Acquired mateship is done when a wolf doesn't get to meet their other half fast or they fall in love with someone that isn't their mate but most people use it for their selfish interest in power just like my step mom.

My father showers favor on his mate.i also have a step sister who is just few years younger than me

I won't say am being maltreated but I don't feel like I belong here.with everything going on I would have preferred if my mom was still alive

Years have passed and I am now a grown up staring down at the mess unfolding in front of me in preparation for the arrival of our honorable Alpha king.

It's been a week since the preparation of his coming.The light Moon pack is going to be the last pack he visits in the East Region which simply means the seven Alphas in the region will have a meeting after the light Moon pack surveillance by the Alpha king.There are also allowed to come with a few pack members because after the judge ment have been passed,the Light Moon pack will host a little party for the Alpha king.

The meeting is solely for the Alpha King's judgment and analysis on his rounds so far.

I shuddered at the thought of hosting all this powerful people in one place.i never wanted to be in attendance of any events going to hold but with the ball and as the first daughter of Alpha Gerald and the potential Alpha which I know won't be possible because of my father preference for Alisa my step sis

I have to be in attendance unfortunately.

My thoughts wandered back to the Alpha king

"What a weird character"

"Who is weird"

I startled at the obvious presence of another being and I slowly turned around

I breathed in relief when I saw the familiar face of my best friend Eve. We have been friends since we were pups. We shifted together on our eighteenth birthday.

I am the shy and reserved person in the friendship while Eve on the other hand is the life of the party.She keeps telling me to be adventurous but thinking about who my father is and how he doesn't let me step a foot outside of the pack house.

Having only Eve as my friend made it easier for my dad because she is his Beta's daughter and she spends most of her time in my house but stepping outside was prohibited

"What have you been up to" Eve said

I had almost forgot she was standing close to me

"I can't help but watch this" I said pointing downward to the shuffling and bustling
