The Pack's Weir Chapter 2 - Attack

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 - Attack

When we completed our training, it was already 8 am, and my body was aching everywhere.

“Aadhya, put the weapons in the arsenal,” gamma Alexander ordered . I bowed and started doing the said. Layla and Matt joined

when I was collecting the weapons and helped

gather the rest.

“So, any plans for tomorrow,” Matt asked

curiously, and Layla rolled her eyes.

“I just wanted to sleep the whole day,” I said to him, and he rolled his eyes while Layla gave

a proud look. “And eat lots of delicious food...” I spoke with a dreamy look. After a few minutes, Matt snapped his fingers in front of my face and shook his head in disappointnt.

“Don’t give us these looks, matty. Food and sleep are the first love of our lives” Layla supported , and we walked inside the arsenal and put different weapons in their respective places.

“Co on, addy, tell

what the plan is. It’s your twentieth birthday, and I wanted it to be mind-blasting” I rolled my eyes at Matt’s enthusiasm on my birthday while Layla snorted.

“Then just put a bomb in her head and light it... you will surely be successful in blasting her mind,” she comnted sarcastically, and he rolled his eyes at her comnt.

“Oh, shut up, Layla. It’s because of you that she has beco so lazy. You are the one who supports her in this shit,” he scolded her, and she looked at

proudly... {well, he is not wrong. He loves to party, but we both are opposite of him. So, the majority of his party plans fail because we always want to stay indoors}

“I am proud that she finally learned sothing from ,” she remarked while Matt looked at her in pure irritation.

“I am giving you ti till evening; plan sothing on your own, or I will plan everything according to my likes,” he said with finality and gave us the pointed looks, “and none of you can decline that.”

“We will talk about it later, Matt,” Layla said to him and waved her hand in dismissal. I was about to say sothing when I noticed uneasiness on her face.

“What happened, Layla?” I asked her in concern.

“I don’t know, but there is sothing wrong with my wolf. She is uneasy and is continuously pacing in my head from yesterday,” she said, and Matt looked at her in shock.

“Now, what’s with you, matt?” I asked him.

“It’s just, my wolf is also on edge from yesterday,” he said, and both shared nervous glances.

“Does it an sothing bad?” I asked both of them.

“Generally, our wolves behave like that when they sense so danger or sothing unusual,” Layla told

nervously.

“But if sothing bad is going to happen, then don’t you think that alpha Aiden’s wolf had also sensed sothing” I suggested to her, and she nodded slowly.

“It’s nothing, guys; we are just overthinking. I have to go now. I am patrolling the eastern borders with others in case you need ,” Matt inford us, and we nodded. He ran towards his house while we exited the arsenal.

“Mom invited you for breakfast today,” she said, and I smiled. Delta Delilah, Layla’s mother, was my mother’s best friend. After my parents’ death, many things changed along with my rank in this pack, but she always treated

the sa. After mom and dad’s death, Alpha Aiden wanted to shift

to the human settlent, but Layla’s parents talked with him and convinced him to let

stay in the pack. I lived in the pack’s orphanage till I turned 16, and after that, I got a small room in the pack house. I looked at Layla, who was looking at

expectantly.

“I don’t think Beth would like that, and I think gamma Alexander would surely have so work for ” Bethany is 17 years old, Layla’s younger sister, but she doesn’t like .

When I turned 16 and shifted in the pack house. Alpha asked

in which manner I would like to perform duties as oga, like cleaning, cooking, gardening, or so challenging tasks like learning the basics of dicine and helping in hospitals or helping in training grounds. So, I chose the training grounds, and we got paid for these duties. Many people here thought that I would go to human settlents and live with them, but I didn’t have the heart to leave the world where I was born, and except for my friends, no one knew that I wanted to be one of the warriors of the pack, that’s why I train harder than any werewolf in this whole pack.

“It’s my parents’ house, not Beth’s; I am going to alpha’s place, he called

in his office. As soon as I am free from there, you are coming with

to my ho; now go and take a quick shower,” she told

sternly, and I nodded. Then she went towards alpha’s house, which is the third building from the left of the pack house.

I walked towards the pack house with a smile on my face... {yeah, I love my stupid best friend} ... when I entered the pack house, I heard noises coming from the dining hall, and I smiled in victory... {it’s good that they all are there, or they will surely try to give

a little hard ti}. I ran into my room and took a quick shower. I changed into skinny black jeans and a white hoodie and ran downstairs. I was running fast when my foot got caught in sothing, and I was about to fall to the ground when I tilted myself in ti. Finally, with a loud thud, my side ca in contact with the cold floor, and I scread in pain. For a few minutes, only blackness and pain consud my thoughts. When I could finally see things, I slowly got up and found everyone laughing at . Here everyone ans our to-be-alpha Ethan smith, Max Moore (to be beta), Sam Carter (to be gamma), Ethan’s girlfriend Stella Wilson (her parents were beta of red moon pack, they sent her here five years back for studies as our pack has best education facilities for werewolves in nearby packs) and her minions Annie and belle.

Slowly I forced myself into a sitting position and tried to get up. Ethan ca towards

but stopped midway. I raised my head and looked at him; his eyes were not focused, which ant he was mind-linking soone. After a few minutes, he sighed. “I have to go, guys. Dad is calling

in his office” with it, he kissed Stella... {believe , it is a sloppy one}... and looked at

“you all can continue your fun” he winked at his friends and ran towards his house.

I stood up and winced as I felt pain on my side and turned towards the kitchen. “Where do you think you are going, weirdo?” Stella screeched.

“Outside,” I told her with a blank face. They all are the sa age as mine, Sam is Annie’s mate, and others have not found theirs till now. They are my bullies from childhood, but they don’t have the guts to lay their hands on anyone because of alpha Aiden, but it doesn’t an they can avoid a few ‘accidents’ like this.

Ethan and Stella have been dating each other for three years now. Everyone in the pack was fortunate that they would surely be each other’s mates, but when they turned 18 and nothing happened, everyone got disappointed, but this did not stop them from dating each other. Truth be told, I feel sorry for Ethan’s and Stella’s mate. How can you date or sleep with soone when you are sure that there is soone special who has been waiting for you all his life? But then again, who am I to judge them?

“What is with that poker face weirdo? Don’t you know how to talk with the to-be-luna of the pack? ”.. {Well, that’s news... does it an that Ethan has chosen her as his chosen mate?} ... generally, if a werewolf cannot find his mate until he is 25, there are high chances that he can go feral, so there cos the concept of a chosen mate. Such wolves choose so other wolf as their mate and mark them as theirs, but there are very few cases of this. Generally, a wolf chooses a mate when his fated mate is already dead because it is tough for a wolf to accept soone other than its better half. Ethan is only 20, so choosing Stella as his mate is sothing I think alpha Aiden will never allow but again, who am I to say anything in their matter.

“You should learn to give so respect to your future, luna. Let’s start with bowing,” she said to ... {I am not going to bow to soone who is not worthy of it} ... I tried hard to keep my mouth shut. She waited for , but I didn’t do anything “ah, our weirdo is not in the mood to bow, no problem, babe... let

help you in it” she took a deep breath and commanded

with authority, “bow to ” I was expecting so force, but when I did not feel anything, I looked at others Sam, Annie and belle are bowing to her while baring their necks while Max is clenching his jaw clearly trying to fight her command.

After a few minutes, Stella gave up and looked at

in anger... {wait, what did I do? }.. she was about to lunge at

when I quickly took a step towards my right, and instead of , she got max on her hold. She again turned towards ; her beautiful face was so red with anger that I was afraid soon smoke would start coming from her ears. Before she did anything else, Layla ca toward us while laughing loudly.

“Co on, Stella, you can’t expect your command to dominate her. Demoting her from beta to oga cannot replace the beta’s blood that is running in her veins. Only alpha Aiden’s, luna Olivia’s, or Ethan’s command can work on her,” she said smugly and looked at .

“Let’s go,” she said and dragged

with her. I stopped myself from wincing in front of her, but finally, I gave in and winced in pain when we exited the pack house. “What is it, addy?” she dropped my hand and looked at

in concern.

“Had a little ‘accident’ with Ethan,” I told her, and she clenched her jaw. She knew very well what kind of accidents happened to . She turned towards the alpha’s house, but I stopped her... “Where do you think you are going?” I asked her.

“What do you think, addy?” she snapped, and I shook my head.

“You already know he is not going to listen to you. You will be just wasting your energy, and don’t forget he is our alpha.”

“To-be-alpha,” she cut

off with a growl. I chuckled at her behavior.

“Yeah, to-be-alpha, and you are supposed to be the delta female of this pack, don’t ruin your relationship with him because of ,” I told her, and she opened her mouth to say sothing, but I cut her off... “You already know Layla; we are grownups now; we are not his friends anymore,” I told her pointedly, and she dragged a labored breath.

When my parents were alive, Ethan, Layla, and I were best friends then; at that ti, he didn’t have any problem with

being a human. Even after my parents’ death, he was good to , not like the best friends that we used to be in the past, but at least he was not rude to , but then with ti, he changed, and his friend circle changed. He started hating , and as Layla never left my side, he broke his friendship with her too.

“We are going to the infirmary first,” she said with finality and dragged

with her.

When I removed the hoodie in front of the doctor, I saw a fresh bruise forming on my right side and arm... {at these tis, I always envy werewolves for having aweso healing abilities} ... I can’t say that the doctor was too pleased to see the bruise, but she did not question us. She gave

aloe vera gel to apply on it two tis a day and a few painkillers. Layla’s mood beca sourer after watching the bruise, but neither she said anything nor did anything. We went to her ho, and as soon as we opened the door, we ca face to face with Beth.

As soon as she saw , the beautiful smile that was on her face earlier transford into a scowl. I smiled at her and said ‘hi,’ but she ignored

and went outside. “I don’t think she will ever like ,” I told Layla, and she snorted.

“Think,” she scoffed. “I believe that she is never going to like you,” she said, and I smacked her arm, and she smirked “truth is always bitter, sweetheart” I rolled my eyes at her statent, and we finally entered her ho.

“Layla, is it you, darling?” We heard her mom’s voice from the kitchen.

“Don’t act like you have not slt

even before I entered the house, mom,” Layla comnted, and I chuckled..damn werewolves.

Mrs. Black ca out of the kitchen with a pointed look. Layla is a replica of her mother... “Layla black, you are not allowed to use your stupid sarcasm with ,” she said to her, and Layla chuckled.

“Don’t act like you don’t love it, mom,” she said and hugged her from the side. Mrs. Black tried to keep her face stoic, but within a few minutes, she lted and smiled at Layla and then at .

“I am hungry, Mrs. Black,” I told her and hugged her from another side, and she chuckled.

“Co on then, let’s have breakfast,” she said and went towards the dining room, where bacon, pancakes, and syrup were already on the table. We went towards the table and took our seats.

“Where is Mr. Black,” I asked her, and she looked at the clock.

“Connor went to Alpha’s place in the morning, but he mind-linked

that he will be ho within a few minutes,” she said, and Layla rolled her eyes.

“He is always at alpha’s,” she complained, and Mrs. Black smiled at her.

“He is delta, Layla. We can’t expect him to ignore his work and spend ti with us,” Mrs. Black explained, and Layla huffed.

“Hey, Layla, you have not told

why alpha called you to his office?” I asked her while eating the pancakes that Mrs. black served us.

“Sa shit. He wanted to know whether I had found my mate or not. He is concerned about the future of the pack. Max, Ethan, and , none of us found our mates, and we are supposed to take the charges from our dads in coming years,” she said with a mouthful of food.

“But Ethan is choosing Stella as her mate.” As soon as these words ca out of my mouth, Layla choked on her food while Mrs. black looked as if he had seen so ghost. I passed her water while rubbing her back, and both took ti to digest the news... {Yeah, I know it is shocking, but I was not expecting this type of reaction}

“Who told you that?” Mrs. Black asked

in a timid voice.

“Stella,” she shook her head in disappointnt.

“Aiden will never allow Ethan to do that,” she said with pursed lips. “Kids these days... don’t understand anything, having physical relations with the person who is not your mate, and now they will go against the will of the moon goddess,” she mumbled angrily, but her expression suddenly changed, and she went towards the door. I looked at Layla in question.

“She just slt dad,” she said, and I smiled. We continued eating our breakfast when Mr. and Mrs. black ca.

“How are you girls?” he asked us cheerfully while taking his seat at the dining table.

“I am aweso, dad,” Layla replied

“I am also good, Mr. Black, but you look tired. Everything’s alright?” I asked him.

“Yeah, my wolf is giving

a little hard ti from yesterday; other than this, everything is alright” as soon as he said that, Layla and I looked at each other.

Layla cleared her throat, and I looked at her nervously. “What happened to your wolf dad?” she asked him.

“I don’t know, sweetheart; he has been constantly on edge since yesterday,” he said.

“Strange” this ti, Mrs. Black said, “my wolf is also behaving the sa,” she said in confusion. “Did you talk to Aiden about it?” she asked him in concern.

“Yeah, but his wolf is fine. I also asked Olivia, but she said everything is fine,” he said. Layla looked at

in question as if asking what to do, I gestured to tell them everything, and she nodded.

“Mom, dad, my wolf is also behaving strangely, and Matt also said the sa thing in the morning... Do you think sothing bad is going to happen?” she asked them, and Mr. Black took a deep breath.

“No, sweety, everything is fine. Aiden’s wolf is alpha; if there is anything wrong, then he would have been the first to sense anything, not the delta or warrior wolves,” he said, and we all nodded.

“So, aadhya, tomorrow is your birthday,” Mrs. Black said, and I smiled. “Do you have any plans for tomorrow?” she asked , and Layla rolled her eyes.

“Nothing till now,” I said to her, and she smiled nervously.

“Would you mind if I asked you for sothing?” Mrs. Black asked , and I nodded. “You already know that our wolves are acting strange. My wolf considers you the sa as it considers Layla and Beth, so she just wanted her children near her. If you don’t mind, can you spend a few days with us?” she said nervously and to say I am shocked is an understatent. I opened my mouth to say sothing but again closed it. I actually don’t know what to say. She just told

that her wolf treated

like her own, like her daughters, which was a huge thing. My throat was constricted with emotions, so I just nodded and continued eating the food.

“So, what does Aiden want to talk to you about,” Mrs. black asked Mr. black.

“He is planning to organize a mate ball this year in our pack,” he explained.

“So, he is seriously concerned about our children’s mates,” Mrs. Black asked.

“Yeah, he is, especially for Ethan. He thinks that Ethan is going to mark Stella,” Mr. Black said while laughing, but when none of us laughed, he looked at all of us... “Is that true?” his question is directed toward Layla and .

“No idea, dad, but if we take Stella’s words seriously, then yes, he is planning to mark her,” Layla told him, and Mr. Black pursed his lips in dissatisfaction but did not say anything. After breakfast, Layla and I went to her room while Mr. and Mrs. Black continued to talk about the other pack matters.

“Tell

bitch, what do you want on your birthday?” she told

while she jumped on her bed.

“Nothing,” I said and lay on her bed.

“Just tell

whenever you want anything,” she said to

and closed her eyes. I humd in response.

We lay there silently for a few minutes. “Layla,” she humd... “What does your wolf think about the whole mate thing?” I asked her, and she made a thinking face.

“She is both excited and nervous about it,” she told

truthfully “you got emotional downstairs,” she stated, which instantly made

chuckle.

“Yeah, I am used to being called an outcast, but when your mom said that she considers

as her daughter, that made

feel a little emotional,” I replied, and a beautiful smile ca on her face.

“You are one of us, addy, and you are not an outcast. You are just different, and people never accept soone different, no matter how much aweso that person is”

“Did you just tell

that I am aweso?” I teased her, and she rolled her eyes.

“I called you bitch earlier, but you didn’t point that out,” she said and smacked her pillow on , and that’s how our pillow fight started.

Matt joined us at night as he is staying at Layla’s place today. I don’t think Mr. Black is pleased about this idea, but I cannot bla him... {no dad who has two unmated daughters at ho would like it if an unmated wolf would co and spend a night at his ho} ...

Beth went to sleep just after we had dinner, but Matt, Layla, Mr., and Mrs. Black sat with

till the clock struck midnight. I cut my birthday cake Mrs. Black baked, and Matt gifted

a cool black leather jacket.

Matt and Layla were making further plans for my birthday when Mrs. Black interrupted us and told us sternly to go and sleep. Layla tried to argue, but one pointed look from Mrs. Black, and we gave up. Matt went to the guest room, and I went to Layla’s room with her. I was half asleep when suddenly Layla sat on her bed with a jerk.

“What happened?” I asked her, but as soon as I saw blank expressions on her face and her eyes were unfocused, I knew she was mind-linking.

“Shit,” she cursed and grabbed my hand... “We have to run, addy get up,” she shouted, and we ca out of the room. Matt also ca outside the guest room while trying to wear his t-shirt. Mr. and Mrs. Black ca out of Beth’s room, looking alard, while Beth followed them, looking a little scared.

“I have to report at eastern borders,” Matt said and hugged Layla and . “Take care of my mom, don’t let her go anywhere until everything is sorted out,” he said to us, and we nodded.

“Don’t let any stupid rogue claw your face, don’t forget you still to find your mate,” Layla said, and he chuckled.

“Stay alive,” I said timidly, and he smiled at

and ruffled my hair.

“I will et you guys later,” he said and ran out of the house.

“Delilah, take all of them to the safe house.” He said and kissed Mrs. Black, and with that, he also ran away from the house.

“Fast girls, we have to take everyone to a safe house,” Mrs. Black told us, and we all ran behind her... {I don’t know why but I am getting the feeling that my birthday is going to be a disaster...}
