Prologue
The Olympia’s family lived in the northern part of Greece, a peaceful and homey place wherein few werewolves are residing, mostly those who doesn’t belong to any pack. It was a choice that every werewolf officials are entitled to as long as they follow the territory guidelines such as maintaining peace and good relationship with other pack members in the territory. On this category falls the Olympia’s because Diana’s father is a Sentinel and also a good friend of the Alpha.
Sentinels are fourth highest rank from the Alpha, their roles are to ensure that the pack is safe by patrolling the territory and watching the movements of the surroundings; they also make sure no intruders enter the clearing with good intentions.
Alpha is the leader of the pack responsible for every werewolf within the pack and its territory. They also create the rules making sure its properly enforced otherwise the Alpha has the full authority to punish, banish once a member committed a crime against his territory or the pack. Alpha has subordinates like Beta, Delta, Salutary and amongst other hierarchy rankings that follows his order.
Ezus, the head of the family of Olympia is the most protective and understanding parent while Erah, their mother is caring and loving parent you could ever have. Diana’s mother will be there to comfort them when lighting and thunderstorm comes most specially during the shifting process; she gives guidance and encouragement when getting confused about their wolf forms/human forms or vice versa; their father on the other hand will teach them all the basics of self-defense specially during unexpected attacks from rogue or anyone; he even taught them how to mask scents and create strategies during battles.
Diana is confident to say that amongst her two siblings, she is good at defense that her brother Marcel is envy of. He is very protective and demanding just like their Dad but he can be as caring as their Mom specially with their sister. Minerva, is the youngest and dependent girl amongst them even on her young age she got the most incredible brain cells plus she is the total splitting image of their father.
As of the moment the family is in the forest having a nice picnic and laughing as they enjoyed eating the meal that their mother cooked. Suddenly their wonderful time was disrupted when their Dad stiffened and they got alerted.
"Stay here and cover your scents." Ezus ordered in serious tone.
"Why did Daddy went to that area?" Diana pointed to the other side of the woods.
"He was just checking something honey." Erah put them at ease trying to convincing them but they knew better than that.
Diana was the one that was trained in reading one’s emotions so as she studied her mother she can detect her apprehensiveness that could only mean that something was about to happen.
"Whatever happens wear those necklaces it will keep you all safe and never take it off. Understood?" Their Mom demanded in soft voice.
"Yes Mom." They all respond.
"We need to go now." Their Dad came back catching a breath.
"We just came here Dad why do we need to leave?" Diana reasoned out
"Diana, just listen to your father and stop those questions." Their Mom carried Minerva.
"Marcel, take your sisters to Alpha Marco and stay there until we get you." Their Dad ordered her brother.
"Yes Dad." Marcel obliged.
"Remember all of you are special and we love you so much.” Their Mom kissed our foreheads.
“Go now and hide away from here." Their father stood in defense position.
In that exact moment all they can hear was growling from a distance and none of them was hesitant to go for two reasons. First, fear that they will die in that moment if they move and second is leaving their parents in great danger. Their parents protectively stand in front of them as the shadow became visible revealing four figures with meanest presence.
"RUN CHILDREN!! RUN!!" Mom shouted at us.
"But---" Diana opposed.
Two rouges appeared in the corner and tried to attack Diana and her siblings. Ezus was fast enough to get to his children and he easily rips the wolf's neck. Diana was rooted on her spot she and was too shocked to move an inch while watching her parents fighting against five black wolves that are attacking them.
Diana’s brother Marcel is only 12 years old and even if he shifted, they won't stand a chance on those rouges while Minerva is just 1 year old leaving Diana as the eldest siblings at the age of 13.
"Diana, listen to me. Go run and never look back. Go!!" Her Dad used authoritative tone.
Diana finally realized what’s happening and she obeyed her father’s order, she tightly gripped Marcel's hand while carrying their sister on his arms. They keep running in the middle of the forest barefooted until they lost the sights of their parents. Holding the last piece of their parents' memory they crossed the boundary and headed towards the only place where they will find help. Ten miles from the forest they read a sign Red Claws Pack territory and Diana knew they are in the exact location.
"Who are you?" One of the patrol guards approached them in alert mode.
"Were... here... to talk to... Alpha Marco...." Marcel speaks while still panting.
Alpha Marco's pack is the strongest pack in North of Greece and the only people that their parents keep mentioning. Their parents always tell them that Alpha Marco will be their best protector in times of need.
“Why do you know our Alpha?” The patrol guards asked again.
“Because of our parents.” Marcel answered again.
The ten patrol guards look at them from head to toe and giving them a disgusting look but Diana and her siblings doesn’t care about that now. All they want is to talk to the Alpha and ask for his help for their parents.
“I’m sorry we can’t do that.” The guard immediately denied.
“Please tell him it's... Olympia's children.” Diana answered in full panic and shaky voice.
“Are you Ezuz and Erah’s children?” The patrol guards became aware after hearing their names.
“Yes, please let us through we need his help.” Marcel confirmed.
“Help for what? Where are your parents?” The patrol guards became anxious.
“Help them please we are being attack inside the forest.” Diana pointed towards the opposite direction.
As they mentioned the word attack, the patrol guards became vigilant to the surroundings and immediately run towards the forest where Diana told them so. The head of the patrol guards send out the message by doing the mind-linked, the fastest and reliable connection for werewolves to communicate.
"You may go on and I will ask few guards to assist you." The guards let them through.
After some minutes they entered a wall gate and behind it were a big house more like a mansion but their minds are too tired to gawk at it. Soon enough they saw Alpha Marco coming down the stairs with his wife Luna Axelia. They knew them too well because every year they visit their home during birthdays and the Alpha is their father’s close friend.
"Diana? Marcel? Minerva?” Alpha Marco expressed worries while rushing to their side.
“What happened?" Luna Axelia took Minerva on her arms.
Luna, is the wife and also the woman version of an Alpha, they possess the same ability to handle the pack same as the Alpha but their leadership is more tender because of their motherly nature. The Alpha is very protective of their Luna because they are their mates and only the Luna can subordinate the Alpha. They also have the outmost authority to the pack when their Alpha is away for battles.
"Rogues... Help... Dad... Mom..." Marcel speaks so low.
"Where?" Alpha uttered deadly calmed.
"Sundown Forest." Diana pitched in.
Alpha Marco immediately changes into his werewolf form together with few pack fighters who saw and got their Alpha’s command. They shifted and left with hopes of getting Ezuz and Erah back.
"Diana let's get you to the pack doctor you're bleeding. Come." Luna Axelia pulled her hand after seeing her condition.
Diana didn't notice her feet were bleeding from running while Marcel got few scratches on his shoulder. For Diana, nothing hurts aside from the possibility that their parents cannot be save given the fact that they were out number. That night Alpha Marco came back with the devastating news and their world shattered because their fear has finally come to an end. All they can do is cried until there's no more tears to fall knowing their parents will died.
