Chapter 7
The next morning, Danna woke up feeling better. He sat up from the skins in which he had slept and arranged that space. During the night, he had heard the howls of the nearby beasts, but instead of feeling fear, his heart was beating curiously. He wondered if his rescue by these creatures was linked to some purpose of the moon goddess.
“How did you wake up, my child?” Grandma asked.
“Good, Grandma. I’m going to go out and tour the area.
The old lady was frightened, she didn’t want to lose her again.
“Outside, wolves are prowling the cabin. They leave and return for short periods. Don’t you think you’d be better off not going out?
With a loving look, Danna tried to calm her down.
“I feel in my heart that they won’t hurt me. In addition, they rescued me from those who really wanted to make me suffer.
Danna walked with trembling legs toward the door. However, it wasn’t out of fear, but out of a desire to understand why the wolves were still out there, as if guarding her. He decided to open the door and go outside the cabin. There he met several wolves: some black, some brown, and some painted, all of them growling and howling. They were creatures whose human aspects had disappeared, and when they detached themselves from that humanity, only their animal essence remained, which governed their actions completely.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Hecate broke out in a cold sweat at the thought that one of these beasts might hurt her.
Danna was standing at the entrance to the cabin when she noticed a giant wolf approaching them. The animal moved forward with its gaze fixed on Danna. Once he reached his side, he sniffed it and gave a howl. The other wolves also came over and bowed their heads. She was amazed by what his eyes were seeing. The wolf in front of her bowed his head, showing a complete act of submission.
Hecate’s jaw dropped as she watched her granddaughter stroke the heads of wolves that had previously been ruthless killers, but in Danna’s company had grown into obedient cubs.
At that moment, Hede was present. His excitement was palpable. Danna was stunned to notice her she-wolf, who used to be completely white, but now sported silver locks. He noticed her bigger, stronger, and more mature. A lump formed in his throat as he stared at the towering animal he had transformed. The feeling was overwhelming, they both felt complete, and their hearts beat in unison.
“It’s you, Hede!” I can’t believe when you’ve changed,” Danna mentally spoke to her she-wolf.
“My Moon Goddess, she helped me strengthen and improve my gifts so that I could protect our pack from other wolves and ruthless beings. We are the ones chosen by the Goddess Selene to protect our lands.
“Yesterday I discovered that I am a descendant of a fairy queen, and now I have submissive wild wolves and a powerful she-wolf,” she said, amazed at all that is happening to her.
“The Moon Goddess has told me that your Fairy side can dominate the wildest beasts. That’s your gift. Now, set me free.
Danna transformed, and a big, strong she-wolf emerged. She ran through a cold, dull forest while the wild wolves ran like minions after her.
Three months later, Danna gave birth to a beautiful blue-eyed girl with silver sparkles. He named it Eos. While Danna went hunting, Hecate took care of the little girl. Since the birth of Eos, the once dry and barren lands have been transformed into a colorful and flowery landscape. The trees began to bear fruit, and small springs sprang up with green grasses and flowers of various colors.
A year later, the exiles who had come to the northern lands had gathered on a path in the middle of the forest, near Hecate’s hut. They were amazed at the prosperity they had experienced since the birth of Eos. Seeing the power Danna had over the beasts that used to frighten and attack them, they were now submissive to her. They gradually approached him to offer him their loyalty, which marked the origin of the Dawn Pack.
It wasn’t long before the attacks on the fertile lands began. However, with the help of the wild wolves, they managed to overthrow all the wolves that were trying to invade those lands. Hede, on several occasions, led the battles. The community was filled with pride in Danna’s transformation into a brave warrior. The nearby packs, recognizing Danna’s power, made the decision to band together and establish the Dawn Kingdom. They offered their allegiance and swore to protect Eos, whom they named the princess. Danna was proclaimed queen of the Alaskan Highlands.
Meanwhile, in the Blue Pack, Eros had sent trackers to fetch his mate. They had not been able to enter the impenetrable mountains of the Dawn Kingdom. It was as if the earth had swallowed her. Ever since his mate left, Hercules hadn’t let himself be seen.
Eros was at his desk worried; he saw his mother come in in a rage. She was angry and outraged about everything that had happened in the pack during the time she was away from it.
“Son, tell me, is it true that you kept your mate locked up because she was an omega?” Eurides growled, depressed by the death of her husband Orpheus, the alpha of alpha. She was in the mountains trying to keep her balance with her she-wolf Osiris.
“Mother, I don’t know what they said, but I did it all for the good of the pack, as my father would have wanted,” he said, choking on saliva.
“Oh, your father would have liked you to lock up your mate to follow the stupid advice of a string of old men and old men. You know your father always put his family first and protected me from those inept old men, but they take advantage of your lack of character.
“Mother, please don’t tell me that!” I’ve proven to be a strong alpha and I’ve established order in the region,” he gritted his teeth. “Besides, she’s a simple omega who didn’t represent the pack like an alpha would. Lamia would be the right moon for my mandate. It was not my intention to abandon her; She had to be obedient and stay by my side as my lover.
Eurides walked up to his son and slapped him with all his might. Then Lamia, who had listened, entered, and stood beside Eros.
“Are you alright, my love?” Then he looked at Eurides with watery eyes. Luna Eurides, a pleasure to see you again. I think it’s unfair that he treats his son like this because of an insignificant Omega who, moreover, tried to kill me.
“You don’t mess around!” Even if you marry my son, I am still the moon of this region. Now I understand the terrible punishment of the Goddess Selene. Besides, I knew that girl. She was the prettiest and most humble and kind in the region,” he shouted, not understanding what was on his mind. He took a deep breath to continue. There’s a reason why the Moon Goddess gave that mate to Hercules. I hope there are no more consequences for your stupidity.
Eurides, with no more strength to insult his son, turned and left his office.
