Chapitre 3 The Elders

Amadora (pov)

After Alexander's difficult departure I tried to go to sleep but I really couldn't. his words spinning in my head, your mother was right your biological father is an alpha werewolf who comes from a very old lineage. not being able to sleep I decided to go surfing the internet, Myths and legend of werewolves some were wackier than the others. One that attracted him the most was when it would be a human named Lycaon transformed by Zeus into a wolf for having dared to serve human flesh at a banquet. This legend was taken up by others as being more Odin than Zeus, the beliefs according to the regions only changing the deity responsible for history itself remains unchanged. As my mother is of Scandinavian origin (they even say that we descend directly from Viking) I opt for the choice of Odin as being the creator of the werewolves. Lycaon would have had, according to legend, 15 sons who are now responsible for the development of current blood lines. It is also said that the earliest lineage mated with simple humans producing newborns with an inner wolf, like a soul he could talk to when he grew up. All except Lycaon (as if to be doubly punished) had that soul in them. The only downside to all this, the mothers did not survive childbirth, carrying a werewolf being very difficult for the fragile human body, the older ones made the decision to ban reproduction with humans. From this precise day a law was decreed for all werewolves, if a wolf was caught to mate with a human it would be punished with death. That's when I realized what had happened a few hours earlier, when alexander told me he was trying to keep control so as not to go against the written wolf laws. If he was seen too intimate with a human, he would be liable to death.

Still according to the legends Thor as protector of the earth would have sent his best guardians among us to protect the weakest and eliminated all the werewolves who would have the audacity to attack humans. They were called the Thorgard (guardians of Thor) they were an elite soldier who fought with Thor in the greatest battles of Asgard. Male and female Thorgard fought against the wolves until a peace truce put an end to it. The Thorgard remained on earth among humans to age there. Some have formed families; others are left alone to walk from village to village to bring help to the needy.

5am arrived much faster than expected.

so, well done now you're going to have to go to work having spent a sleepless night, great. I took a good hot shower and then put it cold to wake up properly. My breakfast was already ready, I'm really lucky to have this mom. I often wonder what I would do without her.

- Good morning sweetheart, I have a surprise for you, I tried to repair your car but it's impossible, total loss. So, I decided to buy you a truck with the gravel road that we have, a truck is much better than your old car.

- Seriously !!! can I go see it??

- No, you have to wait a bit for the seller to deliver it in 15min so you can take the time to eat!

- ok, I can't wait to see it.

I finished my meal at an impossible speed when I heard the sound of a truck.

- For real mom, A Bronco? you know I have these old models on top of that.

- ahata why do you think I bought it.

- You are the best mom in the world I love you, I'm going to try it now, I'm going to try to get to work a little early, thank you!!!!

- You're welcome my heart be careful.

Alexander (pov)

It took all my courage to leave Amadora's house. I even hid for a good hour in the bushes, looking at her through her window. I would like to climb to join her I see that her light is still on so she is not sleeping. Come on, stop it goes back to the pack you have a job to do. the young pups are waiting for their assignment, damn, I haven't even finished. '' Sacha I'm going to need you for the assignments, I was distracted for a while with Amadora '' '' who the hell is Amadora? '' '' My Mate '' '' oh damn ok, tell me where to meet you, you can tell me more about this Alpha '' '' meet me in my office in 5 min, we have 30 min before the unveiling '' '' I'm coming ''

- Alex now that we are done with the assignments and we have a good 15min can you tell me what happens? you seem confused, I saw you go off in a fury earlier I even tried to link you without success as if you had disappeared.

- Sacha before I tell you about what happened, did you do the research I asked you?

- Yes of course, what I could find so far is that she has to be a werewolf. Her wolf will be revealed when she turns 18 there is no doubt and at that moment you can mark her. Otherwise, your wolf wouldn't see his mate in her. As she should approach her maturity the wolf hormones are rising to the surface which makes your wolf smell her. for that is to settle, now remains to know is she a werewolf raised by humans, her parents are wolves without a pack impossible to know without having met them!

- I actually met her mother a little over an hour ago. She is 100% human, no doubt about it and her smell proves that she is his biological mother. The problem is his father, he is a werewolf and he mated a human, god only knows why, she is still alive despite having carried a baby wolf. We need to understand why and also find out who this wolf is, I could sense a pure and very old lineage that is definitely an Alpha. Who would be foolish enough to break such an ancient law and risk death?

- All right, let's tell the youngster their new place in the pack.

I must have been trying to sleep for 3 hours; however, I only have this sweet feeling in memory. That soft kiss on the forehead she gave me earlier to wish me good night. I don't have the right to be intimate with her now ... I have to wait until she is 18 and her wolf reveals itself. So, I could mark her and make her my Luna I can't even make her my girlfriend because of these stupid laws. All I can do is be close to her and who knows maybe I can help her with her investigations, yes that's a great idea, I can feel anything paranormal she can't. I am going to go see her later at her work, bring her a good lunch and offer her my help. I know that in Ourem there are only humans who live there but sometimes magicians go by and cause problems.

5h30 am

as I am not allowed in the kitchen, I ordered the Omega to prepare several choices for the lunch for 2 people. '' I want it all ready for 11am not a minute longer '' '' yes Alpha ''.

You have a lot of time before your date man so I think you should go take a look at the library and start your research while waiting for Sacha, I want our mate as soon as she is ready! you will have to present her to the elders with answers because you know that they will not accept a human or half human as our Luna.

I know all this but they must also know that if the moon goddess has brought us together it is because she has a good reason.

you and I know it but you know your father and it is said that your grandfather and even worse. If we present it to them without correct answers, they will force us to reject it.

Don't worry Sacha and I will do everything to make sure that doesn't happen.

When I got to the library I look around and see that Sacha is already sitting with a big mountain of dusty books.

- Beta Sacha, how long have you been here? it's barely 6am!

- Good Morning Alpha! I didn't even realize we were already in the morning. I have been here since our chat yesterday, no ancient lineage Alpha has been here for 200 years, according to my research he came to meet the first Alpha of our pack when it was created. So, I come to the conclusion that if you really smelled an old line Alpha. He is a lonely Alpha.

- Okay so I have to ask Miss Amadora, where her mother lived exactly when the events happened so we can know if we are able to follow a trace or have any other clue about this Alpha.

- Then for the mother of Miss Amadora, the fact that she is still alive after having carried a werewolf remains a very big mystery for me. There is a legend, but I don't really believe it.

- Tell me then I could judge myself to believe it or not!

- There would have been, during the creation of the first werewolf by Odin, a big massacre in the villages of Europe. The first wolf allegedly assaulted several women to mate with them. 15 young male babies were born from these attacks.

- Yes, the 15 lines of certain wolves have migrated to the United States, some to Asia and the others would stay in Europe.

- yes, exactly these wolf lines have wreaked havoc in villages having lots babies forcing other older women to take care of their children to create the first pack. Humans were enslaved in packs; in fact, we could compare them to the omega in our time. When Thor heard about the attacks, he sent warriors to earth named the Thorgard (Guardian of Thor) it would be them who would bring peace and institute the laws prohibiting reproduction with humans. It is said that the Thorgard would have special powers and would be immune to wolf bites. Maybe Miss Amadora is a descendant of the Thorgard maybe that's why her mother survived childbirth. Do you know her last name?

- I saw on his police badge Mrs. Torgas, Torgas Thorgard I confess that the resemblance is striking. I'll probably know more in an hour when I go see her.

- Perfect Alpha, I will stay here a while longer and then I will go to the office to prepare the documents for your meetings this week.

- Thank you, Beta, I'll see you again this afternoon.

Amadora (pov)

A vehicle for work is so much more pleasant and especially shorter. I am in advance at work so I can work on my special biological father file. I only have 4 months to prove that I can be a good lieutenant. Here it does not matter that I passed all the exams with excellent marks, for them I remain a 17-year-old child. No police lieutenant can get the job before the minimum age of 18, of course this is a new rule just for me, no one would have believed that someone before the age of 18 could have passed all the exams even more a woman. I was abruptly interrupted in my thoughts when I heard the door open.

- Hello?? someone there? asked a man at the entrance of the police station. He had his blue shirt and jeans covered in blood.

- Here sir, what happened?

- It's my wife, Madam Agent, he said in a breathless voice. she's been attacked by a pack of wolves, they've entered my house and drag her upstairs, come and they have to be taken out I don't know my wife's condition she was blooding so much, he said crying, I felt on the ground cause of all the blood please come quick!

- I follow you.

the man lives in the southern forest of Ourem it took us 20 minutes to arrive.

- Stay here sir! I'm going inside.

The man seemed really nervous as he watched me walk into the house, everything was calm, too calm I would say, not a sound. If a wolf pack was still inside, I could at least hear them but nothing. Going up the stairs I saw an open door, I approached slowly without making a sound. The scene in front of me was horrified, A woman was lying on the bed, there was blood all over the sheets, her stomach was split from hip to hip, she had bite marks all over her body. Her throat was ripped out suggesting that she was attacked by one or more animals. Seeing that she was deceased, I took my cell phone to quickly take pictures of the crime scene, and take blood samples, then I hastened to call the current police lieutenant and the scientific team. I went down to the first floor looking around if I would be able to find any clues about these wolves and where they went.

Once my work inside was finished I turned to the man, in police courses they teach us how to talk to people in this kind of situation but when we have to tell someone that a member of the police his family died for the first time it is really not easy.

- Sir, I'm really sorry, your wife is deceased we will find her wolves and slaughter them.

- Oh no, the man answered while dropping it on the ground, and my son she is 6 months pregnant! he got up suddenly and wanted to run to their bedroom!

- Stop no, you can't enter! I told him, holding him firmly. I am very sorry but your baby could not survive, not in the condition that these wild animals left him. The best scientific team is on the way as well as our best workforce. We will do everything to find them but for that you cannot enter at the risk of contaminating the crime scene. The man collapsed on the floor crying, I stayed with him until the police psychologist took over.

Handlers were called for reinforcement from neighboring towns and everything was done to find this pack before there was another victim. According to wildlife officials, it must have been a hungry nomadic wolf pack as no normal wolf would have been so close to humans otherwise and they would have been seen before. When the body was transported to the morgue, I volunteered to help the coroner with the autopsy.

Lunchtime already, but I'm not hungry I need to know what really happened to this woman. I have been in the autopsy room for 2 hours and what we have discovered so far, no baby not even a small trace as if he had simply been removed, the opening on his belly was made by a knife surgical so impossible that it was a wolf who did this. However, her neck was torn off by an animal, after analysis the coroner concluded that the sample was contaminated because the DNA in the saliva taken from the wound was human but also from a wolf. That remark froze my back, was its Alexander's werewolf pack that did this?? I ask myself.

- Miss Torgas, a man is asking for you at the reception. Said a voice into the microphone.

- Sorry I have to go but please keep me posted on anything else you find even if it seems impossible.

- No problem, officer.

When I arrived at the reception, I saw Alexander with a large basket full of food, I could smell hot dogs, hamburgers, and more.

- What are you doing here Alph ... Mr. Moon, we were supposed to meet tonight right?

- Hello Officer Torgas, I know we were but I thought you might want to eat with me for lunch.

- oh, I'm sorry, but I'm not in condition to go eat at the moment. A woman died this morning from a WOLF attack if you know what I mean. Let's say that I would be more in the mood to go and discuss a few points with you for my investigation if you don't mind, but not here let's go near the fountain in the center of the village.

- Of course, it would be an honor for me to help you in your investigation. When he took my forearm to escort me outside, he jumped. Miss Amadora that smell on you? !! it's the same as on your mother the same specific smell of a very ancient bloodline Alpha. I think we won't need to go to the fountain we should go the that woman house right now, I believe this attack was orchestrated by your biological father. We have to go now to have a chance to track him down.

Far from Ourem

Dear Elder, I have terrible news to tell you. As you know I have been in charge here since my arrival among the Alphas retirement village, of all the prophecies, legends and myths. One of them is in the process of materializing. In precisely 4 months, A female werewolf will reach the age of maturity, it is a Pure Wolf, A white wolf. His father is Lycaon and his mother is the last living descendant of a line that we believe to be extinct, the Thorgards. Yes, I know that several among you if not all, you say impossible to be the daughter of Lycaon himself that I am wrong with one of his descendants. Well, no, it's HIM. several documents brought by our last Alpha arrived in the village tells us that when the peace treaty was signed Lycaon refused to sign it and he fled here in America, these same documents inform us that he would have been seen almost 100 years ago after his transformation and that he had not aged. Force to believe that Odin's punishment does not stop making him the first werewolf, without an inner wolf he has also made him an immortal who is reduced to seeing the people he loves die.

We absolutely have to find this young wolf and also her mate because he will have to proceed to a much more complex ritual than a simple marking to be official. If she is not marked by her 18th birthday Lycaon will make her his Luna and together they will destroy every werewolf pack that exists, keeping only a few of them who will deem fit to create one and only pack. Once made the treaty with the humans will be broken and the massacre of yesteryear will start again.

I know it is dangerous for some of you to return to your old pack with your knowledge important to our survival so I called on the best witches and most loyal to the wolf that I know. It will absorb the precious part of your memories to transmit them provisionally to the Alpha who will stay here. You will have in your old packs, to give the important information to the new Alpha in place to make a quick tour of all the young women of 17 years to see if one of them will be 18 years old in precisely 4 months. If you find one check if it is 100% human or if part of it is not if you have any doubt that it is the one, we are looking for you will have to put it back to the alpha. I will have to find her mate or if he doesn't find her before the last day of his 17th year he will have to marked her as his mate or his Beta if he already has a mate.
