the ritual

"wolf tales "

Chapter 1

the bright light shines into my room and my eyes opened .

I couldn't believe it was another day

I tried standing up from the bed and I groaned from the pains I felt .

walking up every day with the responsibility of being an alpha and having a lot of work on you, isn't something to write home about .

I pushed a naked Abigail beside me away as I dashed into the bathroom and quickly took my bath.

walking out of the bathroom I quickly put on my clothes and I rushed out of my room in the pack house ..

"Are you leaving already" her voice stopped me .

" you should freshen up Abigail , I would be back by noon "I replied and walked out .

I know most of you might be thinking Abigail is my mate, but that's a big no, Abigail is just a friend and I would say my personal slut .

well am still doing this because no haven't found my mate yet .

opening the door I found my beta and my Luna standing there .

"morning alpha" they both greeted as I stepped out .

morning " I replied as we all strode down the stairs .

well let me introduce myself to you guys .

am alpha Callum Blain and am just 20 years old, I took over as the alpha just some months ago and I had been working my life off the desk just to take care of my people.

most people think being an alpha was sweet because of the respect and love you got from people but it's far from being sweet .

our pack is know as the strongest pack in the whole district and I must take up that responsibility.

walking up every morning and making sure everyone was safe was something my mom and the beta and delta had trained me to do and am thankful for that .

I never met my dad, well that's a story for another day .

I really do appreciate my two friends who were also my beta and delta ,if I hadn't had them I wouldn't have been here today .

as you all know every werewolf is supposed to meet their mate from the age of 18 but mine was a different case entirely , I turned 20 a week ago but yet I haven't found my mate yet and time wasn't on my side anymore .

I wondered why the moon goddess is being unfair to me, I wanted my mate by my side, she’s my power and I hope I met her soon .

"morning alpha " everyone greeted as I walked across them and I just nodded my head In acknowledgement.

we walked into the bush path and with that we tore off our clothes and sprinted into the forest .

I ran with all my might and power and feeling the wave of the cool weather .

we ran close to the cave and with that I changed back .

" take this " thane my beta said and handed me a top and a shirt from one of the tree .

we always had clothes tucked in the tree because we could change at any time .

I walked out of the bush with my beta and alpha behind me .

I saw my guard's walking around the cave restlessly and I wondered what was wrong .

"morning alpha" they greeted as I got to where they are .

"Morning " I replied as I walked towards the cave .

I studied it calmly and I discovered that something isn't right .

"what Happened here ?" I asked turning to face them .

"someone was trying to break the cave open "Elijah my chief head guard said and I understood.

I know they where all Surprise that I wasn't mad like why would I be when I already know what's going on .

"I would advise you to tighten the security here “Chris my delta said approaching me .

"you guys can go do your normal Jobs "I dismissed them .

"yes Alpha "they all replied and walked away .

"it's getting nearer " thane said with a worried voice .

it's not something I should be scared of , instead I should be prepared for it " I told then walking away .

"you should both get to duties "I told them through the mind link and I walked into the forest .

I walked into the forest and I went to sit at the edge of the river ,I would always come to wherever am sad about something.

I wanted so hard to visit my dad grave but that was totally out o point, I couldn't go, not just now .

the thought that the day was getting closer and I haven't met my mate yet made me feel so lost, if I die now who would take over from me .

I know most of you might be wondering what this cave stuff is all about, I would say it's some kind of ritual that had been going on in this pack for centuries .

the ritual is carried out in every blood moon and the blood moon comes out a year after the Alpha had been made .

the past five alphas or should I say my grandfather's hadn't survived this ritual and so was my dad .

the ritual is a matter of life and death and the alpha are supposed to enter the cave and fight some beast, I really don't know if it's true but no one knows what's really in that cave.

when each alpha died the beta and the delta with the Luna takes responsibility of the child because each alpha is expected to have a child before going there .

I wanted so bad to meet my mate and have my kids but I wondered why it's taking so long .

I watched the water flow around peacefully and I wished I had such peaceful life .

. growing up as a kid without a dad hasn't been easy I had only grew up to see his frames and photos, I never met the real him .

the body of the alpha weren’t found but a burial was done for them as they where believed to be dead .

my thoughts went to Abigail and I wondered if I could even have a child with her, but I don't think that's going to end well because it's an abomination .

I liked Abigail but knowing the fact that my mate was waiting for me somewhere made me withdraw from that thought.

the hard thumping on the floor made me realize that I was been surrounded and looking behind I found out I was surrounded by two rogues .

rogues had always been the problem of our pack .

I quickly changed into my big black wolf as I howl angrily ,am angry and so was my mate .

the first one launched towards me but I quickly tore. it apart with my just a hold, that was how powerful I am .

the second one saw what just happened and tried to escape but I wasn't taking such risk, I linked towards it and holding it back I tore it apart .

a loud howl came out of my mouth and I ran into the forest.
