Here we are yet again....

Aimlessly walking with no where to go.

Scrap that.

I had somewhere to go. I just had no real will power to want to get there. A sharp awareness struck whilst I travelled in Layla's wolf, that I had been used my entire life for everyone else's gratification but that of my own. My innocence was taken, my pride was taken, my family and my pack was taken and now my Mate too had took something from me.

My ability to love unconditionally.

I could not help but feel hatred towards him and Milly for what they did to me. For taking away the one piece of happiness which could have been mine.

As I travelled towards the same place I had been when that ladies 'voice' spoke to me I seriously started to doubt my sanity. Why would I go back to the same place? It could have been a dream. Mates have been known to have premonitions if their mate's life was in peril. It could have been that right? Just a dream and this stupid bond I shared with that asshat womanizer.

But Layla disagreed.

She insisted we go back to find the 'invisible' lady and to discover what her warning meant. It's not like I had anywhere else to go anyways. As soon as Demitri left me in the cave I cried my heart out and made a promise to never save his life again. He was not worth my time and today was a turning point as I knew I needed to move on and forget about him entirely.

I ran for hours until I finally reached the spot under the tree where I had first known to search for Demitri. I sniffed around the area but found nothing and no one. I huffed and shifted, completely forgetting I was naked, as I placed my hands on my hips and raised my voice...

not caring if i was crazy or not for doing so.

"I'm back again, so what is it that you want from me"?

The woods remained quiet and i received the response i was expecting.

Nothing.

I sat down on the forest floor and tried to hold back my tears. Why is my life so shit?

"Why do you cry white wolf"?

I sprang to my feet and looked at the woman who now stood before me. How the hell did she get so close to me without my hearing so? She seemed to glow if that was even possible. Her face was pretty however, a small button nose and plump lips with heavy eye lashes that fluttered. Her hair was a chocolate brown and she wore a simple white dress. I was no fool, it was obvious who she was now that I had seen her. It was the same voice who spoke to me in my dreams and the same voice who had told me to protect Demitri after his fall.

That could only mean one thing.

"Hello mother"

I said.

Every wolf referred to our 'Moon Goddess' as mother. Without her, we would not exist. She chuckled and then stopped.

"I asked why you were crying, are you not pleased that your mate is now safe and well"? She inquired.

I huffed ...

"Not exactly" I grimaced.

She laughed out loud and shook her head at my honesty.

"He had his reasons for turning you away white wolf. Reasons you should now be aware of. You are ready and it is now time you knew".

I scowled at her cryptic message.

She stepped forward, her face sullen. I stepped back and paused. Unsure of her intention. Her eyes showed compassion and sorrow.

"If you need to understand the present, you must first understand the past and your families legacy".

I titled my head, not understanding.

She raised her hand and placed it on my forehead.

"See" she said

********

17 years ago

My legs buckled beneath me as my vision blurred. Images flooded my mind and before long I was standing in the clearing of a field. The 'Goddess' stood next to me and I took some comfort in the knowledge that I was not alone.

"What you will see is what has already come to pass. The past cannot be changed Violet... but the future can".

I nodded and looked ahead of me. A woman who could have been my twin stood in front of me talking to three other men it would seem.

My mother. My real mother!

"Do not think for one moment that I will ever concede to you. This pack has spoken and your opposition has been heard. I know you fear me becoming your Alpha but if you never challenge me, you have nothing to fear".

Her voice was stong and never wavered. Her hand hovered slightly over her stomach I noted as she spoke. Her eyes were void of feeling as she addressed the men in front of her.

One of them spoke in response...

"You cannot be serious sister.. you are a woman! Women are not meant to govern. You have no idea what you are getting yourself or your unborn pup into'. He threatened.

My eyes widened at his malice and also his insinuation that he knew my mother was with child but she was yet to show this.

I leant over to the Goddess..

"Is that me"? I asked pointing towards my mothers stomach.

She gave me a reassuring smile and I quickly looked back towards the fierce warrior who was my mother. I had never known her to raise her voice. My memories of her were that of a housewife who baked cookies and read bedtime stories. She was placid, feminine and sincere. Not commanding or dominant like myself. She never showed an ounce of leadership when I was a pup so this version of her was a real shock. And she was an 'Alpha'? Of which pack and when?

"The pack has spoken Brother. I will be Alpha and as my siblings you should support me".

My eyes widened.

I had Uncle's?

Within a second our vision had changed, my mother heavily pregnant and fighting against Rogue wolves and her pack was greatly outnumbered. During the hussel and bussell of the fight a man approached her from behind which sent my hackles up. Would he attack her?

He grabbed her hand however and led her willingly away from the massacre. We followed them until they stopped behind a tree to catch their breath.

"Go my love" he said as he placed his hand on her stomach.

Mine and my mothers eyes widened. He continued...

"Raise her somewhere where both of you will be safe. I will come to you when I can. The pack has fallen. You must save yourself"

"NO"

She shouted and proceeded to grab his arm. I had never seen this man before so who was he to her?

"We will raise her together, you cannot leave me"!

His eyes were sad but instantly turned red when a rogue wolf attempted to attack my mother from behind. He stepped between and took the wolf down with ease. Turning around and grabbing her shoulders they stared into one another's eyes.

"Go to RedFang, my brother Richard will protect you there... GO"!

He shouted and pushed her away from him. Her eyes teared up as she turned and ran.

Our vision was changed again and I spotted my mother being chased by Rogues. When she reached the border of RedFang pack, Beta Richard and Alpha Greyson were waiting for her arrival with their arms outstretched, waiting to catch her. Just as she reached the border a wolf jumped in the space between and growled. Preventing her path to sanctuary. She held her hands out in front of her and a great Violet light shot out from them, the light seared and burned itself a hole straight through the rogue, and its lifeless body dropped to the forest floor.

Alpha Greyson and Beta Richard were silent and taken aback by her power. She quickly crossed the border and stared down the other remaining wolves who could no longer reach her.

*********

I closed my eyes and opened them again to find myself standing in the woods again with the Moon Goddess as the vision faded away. I turned to her and she offered me her explanation..

"200 years ago I created white wolves. All female and all who had abilities to rival their Alpha's. They were meant to be a gift to every pack but their packs soon turned on them. The jealousy of man ruined the gift and they became hunted. Your mother was one of them and you are the last one left".

"Your father is Alpha kiron of the Moonlight pack. When your mother left and went into hiding, he re joined his pack and waited for her return. However, your Uncle's were still searching for your mother so she decided to remain low and marry your Uncle Richard in order to protect you and draw no attention to your existence. Your other Uncles are still alive and searching for you. You may know them as the 'Council' but their real names are Vaughn, Ivan and Evon".

"They betrayed your mothers pack and killed them in their penchant for power".

"Why"? I asked. Still completely flawed at the revelation that my father was not my real father but my Uncle and that my REAL father was still alive and an Alpha at that!

"Because of their fear. They feared what your mother could do. Every white wolf is gifted with my infinite power and you yourself have also received this gift".

She threw a knowing gaze at me as I recalled my own encounters with the Violet power my mother had also possessed.

"You are my gift to werewolves. A white wolf was created to protect the weak and stand for truth. That is the epitome of you are Violet. Unfortunately, there are those who wish to covet this power and use it for evil, that I cannot allow". She said.

Absorbing her revelations I bit my lip in thought.

"The Council, or my Uncles I mean?"

She shook her head.

"Not just them, you have heard of this wolf who is massacering packs in the East"?

I nodded.

"He is now here Violet and you are the only defence left for those packs still fighting"

"Did Demitri know this"? I questioned.

She smiled.

"Not your mothers tale, but he knows of your abilities and the struggles you will face as a White Wolf".

I bit my lip again.

"You are not yet ready to protect the weak Violet. You MUST however, train hard and you will know when you are ready".

I straightened my spine and stood tall. She clicked her fingers and turned to face me.

"Something to help you with your drive to succeed.... I created a separate path for some pack members who are in need of protection and sanctuary. To shield them from those who want them dead. Follow the brook along the stream to your left and you will find them. You will not get the answers you want, but you will become the fighter you need to be because of it. Everything has a reason and everything has purpose". She said.

Within a few moments she disappeared. Almost like she had never been there in the first place. Without a second thought I listened to her suggestion and followed the stream. Not five minutes later I came across women and children who were all seated and huddled together on the forest floor. They had been travelling for a while it seemed and most were tired and exhausted. What happened here and why did some of them look so familiar to me? To my right I spotted a few weak men standing watch and I had my answer. The relief in their eyes when they realised it was me who had come upon them and no one else was unnerving. I looked around to scan for what or who might have been chasing them. Liam, Anya and Alec were no where to be seen. Rushing over, I spotted a worn out Trevor and sank to my knees in front of him.

These were Bloodstone pack members. But what were they doing here?

"Trevor... tell me everything"!

********

4 days earlier - After Bloodstones defeat

Rogue King's POV

My plan was working. Everything was in motion and now all of the packs were helpless to fight against me. Especially with the non respected leadership of their fragile council. It was only a matter of time before I had them all crushed beneath my feet. I saw Will, Adam and Matthew to my right, awaiting my instruction. Miriam was currently ensuring our next little victim would not give away our next plans. Will spoke first.

"We left him in the woods as instructed my liege. What would you like us to do now".

I touched the human skin mask on my eyes and smiled. Everything was going exactly as was planned...

Will nodded and Adam spoke next..

"How do you know that Beta Alec will try to find the Luna of RedFang"?

I chuckled.

"Because he is in love with her. And his love will lead me straight to her". I said.

I began to imagine all the things I could do with her and I felt myself turn hard.
