Episode 9

Derik narrating

We discussed everything and what I would have to resolve to improve people's safety. We agreed to schedule another meeting with three more Alphas. I went to the city to take care of some things and returned home. When I arrived there, I said goodbye to the Betas and instructed to reinforce security. Even though I don't believe in this prophecy story, if they are destroying everything, it's better to prepare for a fight. Even though it's very safe here, thanks to my performance since becoming Alpha, I have to be prepared for anything. I enter my house and go straight to my room. I need to take a shower to relax. I don't see Sara, she must have gone to sleep. It's best to let her rest. I enter and take my shower, then I lay on the bed. I'm so exhausted that I quickly fall asleep.

Sara narrating

I spent the day talking to Jurema. She's very nice and taught me how to make a cornmeal cake with guava. She said it's Derik's favorite. I was very excited to learn. The day passed quickly and it was already late. Since he hadn't arrived yet, I decided to go upstairs to do my personal hygiene and sleep. I wake up early and have my breakfast. Today, I plan to visit my mother. I will ask Jorge if he can accompany me, since Derik said I could only go out with someone he trusts. I come downstairs dressed in a pink hoodie. I don't really like this color, but since it was a gift from my mother, I will wear it.

I enter the kitchen and he is sitting there drinking coffee, looking at me but not saying anything. I sit down as well.

Derik narrating

I woke up early and I'm having my coffee, then I see her coming in her favorite clothes to wear, well I prefer it that way, she has to wear sexy clothes just for me. I look at her and wonder, what does she want waking up so early.

Derik: Good morning, my little wolf. I give a slight smile.

Sara: Good morning, sir. I think to myself, it's better to tell him now that I'm going to my mother's, I'm a little afraid of his reaction and I say, "Today, can I go to my mother's? Jorge will come with me."

Derik: No, I'll take you. I become very angry, she prefers my Beta to protect her, so I decide to take her, I'll take care of my commitments later.

Sara: Sir, you don't have much work, you don't need to go. I don't understand why he wants to go, does he think I'm running away? If I wanted to, I would have tried a long time ago. I feel upset because I'm being kept prisoner.

We finish breakfast and head to my mother's. When we arrive, I quickly get out of the car without waiting for him, and he immediately yells.

Derik: Sara, behave! I'll come pick you up later. And he speeds away, I didn't like it, he barely arrived and he already ran away from me, I'm trying my best to make her feel comfortable, but I still feel angry about what happened at the party.

I enter the house and start calling out.

Sara: Mom, Mom... She immediately comes down, hugging me and crying.

Luana: I'm glad you're okay, Sara!

Sara: What's wrong, Mom? I'm fine, it's like a fortress there, why are you asking?

Luana: Nothing, my love, your mother was just worried about you.

Sara: Mom, please tell me if something is happening, I'm feeling a bit anxious.

Luana: Hasn't your Alpha said anything to you, daughter?

I look at her curiously.

Sara: No, Mom. I shake my head and ask, "What could he possibly tell me?"

Luana: Nothing important, dear. I'm just glad you're protected, that's all.

Sara: Tell me, Mom, don't hide anything, you know I don't like being kept in the dark.

Luana: Well, there is a group of wild wolves that are destroying packs, killing all the wolves. She looks worried. "I just want you to always be protected."

Sara: Now you've got me worried, what about you and Lucas? And where is he, Mom? I miss him so much.

Luana: Your brother found his mate, remember the girl from the party, Julia Sateli? They are together now.

Sara: Ah, I knew it! I pat her on the back and smile.

Luana: He's very happy, and your Alpha invited him to work there, helping with security.

Sara: Mom, he's not mine, he never will be. He's just using me, don't say that, and that's great, now I want to meet my sister-in-law, I'm very excited.

Luana: He's living nearby, let's go visit him.

So they left and turned into wolves.

Sara's mother looks at her with a worried expression, as she can see an energy emanating from her.

Luana (mother): Sara, you are transforming at the Alpha's house. They communicate mentally with their wolf power.

Sara: I'm not, mother. I didn't even remember how it felt to freely transform into my wolf. In my thoughts, I just didn't mention that I feel stronger, but it quickly stopped as if there was a barrier preventing it from happening. I shake my head. It must be because I never transform into my wolf. She feels trapped and I can feel her begging to come out. It must be because I'm turning 17 next week.

Sara's mother (narrating): I find it strange that this power is already emanating from her, and she hasn't even turned 17 yet. I'll have to tell her the truth, it scares me. I wonder how she'll react. I love her and I don't want to lose her.

Sara (narrating): We went through the forest trails, running so fast was wonderful. Along the way, I felt someone's presence watching us, but I didn't know who it was. So, I asked my mother to increase her speed. I ran much faster than her, feeling so free. We arrived soon, and before reaching the house, we transformed. I don't know why my mother insists on hiding me. There's something strange, but it's better to let it go. All I want is to see my dear brother. I missed him so much. We knocked on the door, and he appeared with a beautiful smile. He gave me such a warm hug that I never wanted him to let go. I know he has his own family now, his mate.

Lucas (brother): Hi, sis! I missed you! He lets me go and turns to our mother. Come in and meet Julia.

Lucas: Julia, this is my sister, Sara, and you already know my mother.

Julia: Nice to meet you, Sara. He talks about you a lot. She hugs me.

Sara: The pleasure is mine, Julia. I'm glad he found you.

Julia: Come, let's sit down. She gestures for us to sit on the couch and leaves to make coffee.

Lucas: How are you, sis? And why isn't Derik with you? He looks at our mother with concern.

Sara: No, I asked to visit mom, and he allowed it. He said he had something to take care of. I think he'll come pick me up soon.

Lucas: But how did you both come here? He looks at our mother with a scared expression.

Luana: It's nearby, we came through the forest.

Lucas: Mom, you know how dangerous it is. They're close, and if they find her, they won't rest until they take her. He looks at us both, knowing that they're hiding something and unwilling to talk about it.

Sara: Who is "she," and who is going to take her? I look at both of them, realizing they're keeping something from me.

Lucas: Sara, mom will tell you a story. I'm sure you'll understand. He hugs me, tells me he loves me, and leaves, leaving me alone with our mother.

Sara: What story, mother? I look confused.

Luana: Come, sit next to me. She takes my hand, afraid I might run away. Sara, everything I've done has been for your own good. Don't judge me and forgive me. Tears fall from her eyes, and I become worried. I hug her. Then she speaks: A long time ago, there was King Sebastiao and Queen Serafina. They were the oldest and strongest wolves, from whom the Supreme Alpha, who ruled over all the packs, was born. Sebastiao was respected by all. They had a daughter, Alice, the princess. She was beautiful and enchanting, and everyone wanted to marry her. But she fell in love with the beta of her chosen fiancé, Alpha Luki. When Luki found out about her betrayal, he plotted to kill her parents and imprisoned Alice until she accepted him as her mate. However, she took her own life to prevent him from doing what he wanted. Since then, he has been the Supreme Alpha, but he doesn't have dominance over the alphas because he didn't marry Alice. He asked the witch Charlotte to perform a magic that would allow Alice to reincarnate and marry him.
