"Wyatt is back" I howled.
The pack rushed out to meet him. I won't lie, I was excited to see my mate as well.
Willow took his jacket off.
Will put his claw marks back on.
Winnie put his moonstone back on.
He growled and his moonstone glowed.
I stood on a high rock, and howled. The rest of the pack joined in.
"Nightshade" Wyatt breathed. 
"Glad you're home, Wy." I engulfed him in a hug.
My daughter Wren, ran out of the cave, leading the other wolf pups.
"Wren!" Wyatt laughed. "Look at her, already a little alpha, just like her mother" He said quietly to me.
"Wyatt!" She laughed as he picked her up and placed her on his shoulders.
I smiled. Wyatt is such a great fill-in father to Wren, not to say that I only see my mate as that. He's far better than her deadbeat dad, he didn't show up anytime after he left me in the streets. I don't even know his name.
He wasn't a wolf that's for sure.
"Wren! Do you want to go with me to explore?" I asked my little 2 1/2 year old.
"Yes please momma" She said between laughs.
"Willa!" I commanded. "Watch the pups please and thank you!".
"Of course Nightshade." She ran away, the pups in tow.
And Wren, Wyatt, and I then ran off into the forest.

~~~~

Wren is on Wyatt's shoulders, as we walk through the forest. Wyatt is telling her a story.

"Wyatt! Wren! Hush!" I whispered.

"Zed?"

"Wren! Come here! Wyatt, you know what to do." I whisper.

I run through the trees, and Wren does the same. She falls though, in turn making the unknown 'guest' turn. I stop. She has white hair. The pack surrounds her and she turns to see everyone. I step on a rock and howl,"Awooo". She turns and we all retreat.

We make it back to The Den and Wyatt says, "She saw you howl Nightshade."

"So what? All I said was 'Awooo', it's like saying ciao, or aloha, or I'll rip your throat out." I smile at him. "Anyway who cares what they think? It's a terrible town."

"You exposed us." Wyatt sneers, and holds up a drawing.

"Oh come on, Wyatt! A). That looks nothing like us, we have wayyy better hair than that. And B). You used to not care, we would run so close to the town, and laugh about almost getting caught." I scoff. "You're such a worry wolf."

"Nightshade! This isn't funny. This girl could be the Great Alpha and could lead us to the Moonstone." Wyatt tries to reason.

"As long as that girl does not have a Moonstone around her neck, I am Alpha of this pack. " I growl, my fangs are becoming sharper, my claws are longer, and my moonstone is glowing. Wyatt backs away.

"Of course Nightshade" He mutters.

"It would do you some good to remember your place as beta Wyatt, not alpha.", I scold.

"I'm sorry Nightshade" He apologizes.

"Thank you," I lean in and kiss his cheek. This causes him to blush. "Is the great beta of the Ravenscroft pack blushing?" I smirk.

"No!"

"You totally are!"

He grabs my face and presses his lips on mine.

"Who's blushing now, huh?"

"Shut up!" I growl playfully and lightly shove him.

"Wolves!" I howl. "Tonight as the moon rises, we will venture into this terrible town and go to the high school to see if this girl is the Great Alpha."

****TIMESKIPTIMESKIP*****

"No one's catching me unless I wanna be caught
I'm dancing in the shadows, ain't no leash when I walk
It's great to feel invincible, it's great to feel alive
My appetite's insatiable, there's nowhere it can hide
Our freedom isn't up to them, it's only up to us (us)
I'm the Alpha, I'm the leader, I'm the one to trust (trust)
Together we do whatever it takes, we're in this pack for life (awoo)
We're wolves, we own the nightOh, we own what we own, oh, we own the night
Oh, we own what we own, we own the night
The only thing that is worse than our bark's our bite
Oh, we own what we own, we own the night", I sing."I'm picking up the scent, it seems we're on the right track (track)
The moonlight's on the rooftops, the wind is at our backs (backs)
We're living in the shadows, we're living for the chase (chase)
Our legacy is in our sights, so let's pick up the pace
We're on a quest to find the power that's inside of us (us)
She's the Alpha, she's the leader, she's the one to trust (trust)
Together we do whatever it takes, we're in this pack for life (awoo)
We're wolves, we own the nightOh, we own what we own, oh, we own the night
Oh, we own what we own, we own the night
The only thing that is worse than our bark's our bite
Oh, we own what we own, we own the nightWe own what we own
The night is our home
We own what we own (wolves, awoo)
We own the nightOh, we own what we own, oh, we own the night
Oh, we own what we own, we own the night
The only thing that is worse than our bark's our bite

Oh, we own what we own, we own the night " Wyatt sings.

We stop in the middle of a hallway.

"Come on! We'll hide in here and tomorrow morning, we'll try to find this 'Great Alpha'" I say, as I usher everyone into a air vent.

My children!!
I am SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR THIS STORY!!!!
Anyways, have a good day!
Love, Reyna 🌷
