Chapter Twenty-Eight

History on the Elves and Werewolf

Long ago, werewolves used to hunt in the Green Leaf forest. It was in this forest that they would let their inner wolf to come out to run and hunt. In those days, the forest was full of other wild animals and when one could face such animal, they would either be gravely injured or killed. There was a time when people were mostly killed that the alpha of the pack, had to make sure that a hunt should be done by more than ten members to prevent any serious injuries if the group encounters any wild animal. The people listened well to their alpha and they successfully prevented sudden deaths by doing what they were told because together they were stronger than one.

When a pup finally turned into their wolf forms, they were led by elders of the pack, into the forest for their first run. This was an experience that every pup looked forward to.

So it happened one night, when the pups were led by the elders on their first run. One pup wanted to show his father that he was strong and tough, so he wondered on his own with the mind of making it home alone to show just how much he could take care of himself. But there was another thing that this pup didn't know. He was supposed to learn of this thing from the elders during his first run which he had wondered away from.

The forest inhabited other beings and weres other than the wild animals. It was believed that there were  elves, feline shifters, bear shifters, elephant shifters, fairies and many more. It was a very big forest and home to many. These beings were the owner of the forest. The alpha had asked for permission to hunt in the forest and he was only given permission to hunt in certain grounds of the forest.

On the first run, the pups were shown of this boundary for their hunting grounds and were told to never go beyond the boarder because death was what awaited them there.

The wondering pup never knew of this and he wondered deep and beyond the boarder. It was when he tried to go back home that he knew he didn't know the way back. He couldn't call for help because he was not yet taught how to use the special pack mind link or family link. They were taught of this after arriving home from the first run.

The pup ran around as it tried to find its way back home. The night grew darker and cold making it difficult for the pup to see and walk around. It howled like how he saw his father and pack members do but the howl could only be heard as a bark and very low. The pup finally slumped on the ground not knowing what to do. It was tired and bleeding due to cuts from the thorny bushes it passed through. The pups eyes became heavy to keep open and when it couldn't hold on any longer, it closed them shut and went to sleep.

Meanwhile, the pack was in chaos when they found out about the missing pup. The alpha and the pack's best warriors went in search of the pup. This wasn't any pup, it was the alphas pup and the future of the pack. He was the only child of the alpha since his mother died while giving birth to him. That's why it was very important to find the pup right away.

The elf kingdom was the closest kingdom to the wolf pack. It was the king of this kingdom that gave the werewolves permission to hunt in the forest by parting a part of his kingdom for them. He had gave clear rules for the alpha to follow and that was to never let his wolves go beyond the border into the elf kingdom. The elves wanted a quiet life and not to get involved with the wolves in anyway. And that was why the alpha made sure everyone in his pack knew of this rule.

In the elf kingdom, an elf was selected to be king by how much magic powers one had. A child born to be king could be born from any elf. The kingdom's clairvoyant would foresee of who will be next king or queen and once that child is identified, he or she would be taken in by the current king and raised as a future king or queen.

So it happened that on the same night that the pup had wondered off, the to-be queen of the elves sneaked away from her guards and wondered off near the werewolf border. She knew of the agreement between the wolves and her kind. Despite being told to never go near the boarder, the six year old elf princess liked  to go there because she loved wolves and their beautiful howls. She would sneak away most nights just to listen to the wolf howls and see them from a far. But this night was her lucky night because she saw a wolf pup sleeping by the tree, right within her kingdom's land.

At first she hid because she thought she had wondered beyond the border but after looking around and confirming she was still in her land, she smiled happily and went near the sleeping pup. She saw the blood and quickly casted a spell to heal its wounds. She wanted to ask the wolf what happened and why she was in the elf land but decided against it to let the wolf rest. She didn't ran back home to tell her elders about the wolf because she was afraid they would kill the wolf since that was the rule in the kingdom. Any werewolf found in the kingdom was to be killed on spot.

She sat beside the sleeping wolf, waiting for it to wake up so that she can get answers to her questions. While watching the sleeping wolf, she heard howls of many wolves in the forest. She didn't like the sound of it because it was distress howls. She wondered what could have happened to make the wolves cry out like that. As if answering her wonders, a groan was heard beside her and that's when she figured out what may have caused the wolves cry. She needed confirmation to her guess so she shook the sleeping pup awake.

The pup felt someone shaking it and it groaned while hoping its dad to leave it alone to sleep a bit more. The shakes got rougher and the pup opened its eyes and looked around. It was too dark to see anything at first but when it adjusted to the dark, it stood up bluntly on its four legs and looked at the smiling beautiful strange creature before it.

"Finally you are up." The girl smiled at the wolf.

'Who is this?' The wolf thought in amazement.

"I am Eleanor, the elf princess. But shush, that's a secret." The girl, Eleanor giggled.

'You can hear my thoughts?' The wolf wondered and Eleanor nodded. She opened her mouth to speak but a very strong howl sounded in the air.
'Dad!' The wolf exclaimed and moved its tale happily.

"So they really are looking for you." Eleanor said and the wolf moved its head in a nod. "They can't come here so we have to go to them."

'I'm lost, I don't know my way back home.' The wolf whimpered and whined when the girl took a step towards it.

"I can take you there. I can take you to the boarders because that's far I can go. You will find the pack and your dad there." Eleanor explained and then brought her hand forward. "All I need to do is touch you. Can you turn in your human form for me?"

'No I can't. Dad helps me do that because I haven't known to do it alone yet.'

"It's okay. I just need to touch your fur then. Can I?"

The wolf wondered how only a touch would brought them to the boarder and to his family. It even wondered if it was right to trust the stranger. It thought of what its father would do in such a situation. The conclusion was that it was best to survive and think later. If letting the stranger touch its fur would bring it back home then that was what needed yo be done.

Eleanor saw that the wolf had made up its mind so she touched the wolf's fur and ran her hand through it. She had hoped for a while to touch a wolf's fur and she couldn't believe that it was happening. Another howl reminded her of what needed to be done so like she promised, she used her magic to teleport them both to the boarder.

"Here we are." Eleanor announced and when the wolf looked ahead, it could see its family and feel their worries. It whimpered and ran towards home.

Eleanor saw the wolf ran back home and her happiness was gone with it. She could have kept it and lived with it in her big room and that way it would never be lonely to be there. But she also wanted to help it back home so that the wolves would stop crying to the moon. A tear slid down her cheeks and she was about to go back to her lonely big room when she heard someone calling her. It wasn't just someone though, it was the wolf! It had came back for her. She wanted to meet it half way as it ran to her but she remembered the boarder and how the king would know if she passed through it.

'Eleanor, I forgot to say thank you for bringing me back home.'

"Don't worry, its fine.'

'I'm Adam.' The wolf told Eleanor and then ran back home.

That was the beginning of their secret relationship. They would meet at the boarder and talk about their lives or sometimes they could just bask in their moment. They were each others escape of real life.

However, there is always an end to every secret and the time for theirs came. It was a forbidden relationship affecting both werewolves and elves. The elf that was promised to the princess took the news of the secret relationship hard and there was also a number of elves that didn't like it. There was also a group of werewolves that didn't like the news as well. These two groups started war between the two races and it got many elves and wolves killed.

Adam's father, the alpha, died in this war and Adam did his best to end it. The elf kingdom agreed to end the war if the two came to an understanding. They had agreed to end the agreement they had on hunting in the Green Leaf forest. Werewolves from then on were forbidden to enter the forest and hunt in it. The group of elves that started the attack on wolves were thrown out of the forest and the group of wolves as well were exiled.

Adam asked the elves to erase the war in the minds of the werewolves because it was a very painful moment of their lives. Before the memories were erased, many alphas of affected packs came to alpha Adam and asked him to be there ruler because he had saved them from the never ending fights by risking his life to make agreements with the elves on ending the war. Even though he was the reason of the war, he was also the reason it ended.

So that's how the forest became forbidden for wolves to hunt or enter. To everyone but Adam, the knowledge of war was erased. Adam lost a lot during this war and it wasn't just his dad or fellow wolves but Eleanor as well. She was found at her weakest by the wolves that attacked the elves and killed brutally.

He was only left with one important thing, the best gift no one but Eleanor could give him. And the elves had gave him the necklace on the day he last saw their kind after finalising the agreement. It was Eleanor's necklace.
