Episode 2

Alexander

I arrive at the witch's house, my father was already there.

Andres - Son.

Alexander - Dad, have you been waiting long?

Andres - Not really, son, come on in.

We did as he said, and as expected, the door opened and Irma's voice was heard.

"Come in, Alphas."

We did so, and she immediately appeared with her large earrings, dark robe, piercing gaze, and a staff in her hand, her house always smelling of herbs and incense.

Witch Irma

"Please, take a seat."

Alexander - Thank you, I was told you were looking for me.

"That's right, Alpha, I have something to tell you."

Alexander - We're listening.

"Alpha Emilio from the Blood Pack is seeking to overthrow you, with the help of Rogers he is forming his army."

Andres - But he's rising up against his Alpha of Alphas.

She nodded.

Alexander - Does his pack support him?

"They live under threat, they have to do what their Alpha tells them, even if it means giving their lives."

Alexander - I have to stop him.

She shook her head.

"War is inevitable."

Alexander - Not if we can avoid it, cut off the head of the snake.

She shook her head again.

"You can't stop the war, only prepare for it."

Andres - But he...

"Listen to me, Alpha Emilio has found a powerful ally, Gonzalo, Alpha of the Shadow Pack."

Andres - What?

Alexander - That pack is extinct, or so I understand.

"That's what we all thought when the pack's Luna died giving birth to her daughter, but Alpha Gonzalo deceived us, his pack was hidden."

Andres - Is that possible? Hidden even from you witches?

She nodded.

"He took the black witch as his mate, naming her Luna, she is the one who hid the entire pack."

Andres - Goddess, but if they are alive, they should restore order, not join a side.

"That's what they were created for, the Shadow Pack is the strongest, the only one that can fight without transforming into wolves since they can hold weapons to defend themselves."

Alexander - If they are that strong, I have to ask, do we have any chance of winning?

"There is always hope, Alpha, within that pack emerged a very valuable element, strong, determined, has unique abilities, capable of overthrowing Alpha Gonzalo himself."

Alexander - We have to talk to him to get him to join us.

"Every jewel as valuable as that has its challenges, Alpha."

Andres - Do you think he will refuse to join us? He could be the key to victory or defeat in the war.

"Alpha Gonzalo has set him free."

Andres - What do you mean? Free?

Alexander - Dad, let her explain what's happening.

He nodded.

"That element does not agree with a war, does not want to create chaos, the Alpha wants to force him to take a person from the Blood Pack as his mate without being his destined one to join forces and defeat the rest of the packs."

Andres - But that's going against the designs of the Moon Goddess.

"Alpha Gonzalo denies all ties to the Moon Goddess, for that reason, the Moon Goddess revealed to us the still existence of the Shadow Pack."

Alexander - Where can we find that element you mentioned?

"He was expelled from his pack, with the task of seeking his destined one, he has 5 years to achieve it, otherwise, he will be forced to return to his pack and become the deadliest weapon that Alpha Gonzalo will possess."

Andres - Does that person agree with that decision?

She shook her head.

"He is not, but he has a spell from the black witch, if in 5 years he does not find his destined one, he will be forced to obey his Alpha, unfortunately, Alpha Gonzalo does not play fair and blocked his ability to feel the scent of his mate."

Andres - So how does he expect him to do it? It was a trap from the beginning.

She nodded.

"Even so, that element did not give up, he is still searching."

Andres - How will he realize that he found him without smelling him?

"With his heart, it may seem silly to us, but many humans rely on that."

Andres - What if he is wrong?

"The person is not stupid, he will not be able to perceive his scent, but as they live together, that blocking spell will be released to reveal if he is wrong or not."

Andres - We have 5 years to find him, where do we look for him?

She looked at both of us.

Alexander - How long ago was that person expelled?

"Unfortunately, there are only 4 months left to fulfill those 5 years."

Andres - What? Moon Goddess, where do we look for him? No one knows exactly where the Shadow Pack is.

I closed my eyes, then the witch spoke.

"We must not lose hope, if the Moon Goddess revealed this to us right now, it means that we have an opportunity against them."

Alexander - We will begin the search, these 4 months are vital for the survival of the packs.

Andres - I will coordinate everything, son, and I will meet with the closest Alphas to ask them the same.

Dad stood up and I looked at the witch.

Alexander - May I have a moment?

"Of course, Alpha."

Andres - I'll leave you, son, see you at home.

Alexander - Yes, Dad.

Once alone, I spoke.

Alexander - I need to know about my mate.

"You know I can't reveal much about that, for some reason I can't see that bond, but I know that someone is destined for you, I want you to see something."

She pointed to the sphere, images began to appear and she spoke.

"Your mate is blocked in a sphere, that makes it difficult to find her, her scent is encapsulated, that's why it's more difficult for you, but I see light in your path so she will be close to you soon."

Alexander - How do I identify her then?

"As you get closer to her, the block will fade."

A symbol appeared in the sphere, it was the sun, moon and two stars, a small dark one above and a slightly larger one below.

Alexander - What is that?

"The Moon Goddess reveals to you that the person who will be your mate will carry that mark on her body."

Alexander - In what part?

I saw her smile.

"Don't worry, Alpha, I'm sure you won't need to undress her to see the mark."

Alexander - I hope so.

"I know how long you have waited and searched for your Luna, Alpha, but I am sure that the wait will be worth it, trust and don't close yourself to the possibility of meeting the people around you."

Alexander - If it's about Marlen, believe me I won't.

"That's a problematic wolf, you have to get her out of your company, she will get you into trouble and make more than one suffer as she already does."

Alexander - If I fire her, her father will be on me.

"You are the Alpha, assign her a different job because you might regret having her next to you."

Alexander - I will, please keep me informed of any movement Emilio and Gonzalo make.

"I will, Alpha, have this, I will give you this."

She tied a double red ribbon on my wrist.

"It will keep you safe from any spells cast on you, if you need to give the other ribbon, do it, it will help another person a lot."

I nodded and left there, my head was full of information, now I not only had to maintain control of the companies, the packs, I had to find my mate and now also that element that can help us defeat Gonzalo, otherwise it will be the end of the packs.
