Episode 4

Everyone was gathered in the yard awaiting Uma who was saying her goodbyes to everyone, emerging embraced with Elsa, she grew up fully aware that everyone was equal and deserved the same treatment and respect; in this pack, the omegas pursued whatever activity they chose, unlike in other packs where they were mere servants receiving degrading treatment.

At BlackWolf, however, they were assisted in achieving their goals, encouraged in their studies, and efforts were made to alter the submission that was their natural inclination.

Uma couldn't bear it when an omega from another pack arrived and bowed their head to speak... she couldn't stand that.

Uma: Elsita... I will miss you so much...

Elsa: I will prepare lots of food for you and send it as soon as possible, and your grandmothers will bake your cookies.

Uma: Come with me, Elsa, I can't live without you...

Elsa: You'll make me cry, Uma.

Ray: Take anyone but Elsa with you.

Uma: Uncle Ray, I will miss you so much, you and Aunt Em are the best uncles in the world.

Emily: You're our favorite niece...

Henry: I still have doubts about sending you to that place...

Sam: You can't back out now, the decision has been made, those poor people need help. Uma will do a better job than anyone.

Henry: If anything happens, you come back, if you need anything you call me. Understood?

Uma: Yes, father. Thank you for this opportunity, I appreciate it so much, you don't know how important this is for me.

Henry: You will do well, better than anyone. Call me every day.

Sam: I know wonderful things await you there, follow your instincts and remember, don't use magic too obviously, let no one realize.

Uma: Yes, mom, don’t worry.

Soromir: I will miss you so much... If you don't come to visit me, I will come to you.

Uma: You can come whenever you want... I will miss you a lot.

Uma touched the necklace her grandfather had gifted her, two white wolves howling at the moon with these symbols at the foot °•○●; she didn’t know their meaning, but she had been fascinated since she was five, and when she turned sixteen, Soromir gave her the necklace and she tattooed those peculiar symbols on the back of her neck; they were from centuries ago when a traveler who was helped by Calder gave them as a gift, only his name, Dimitri, was remembered, and nothing more of that story.

Calder: Take care, my beauty, I’ll miss you so much... I'll no longer have my reading partner.

Uma: I will miss you too, granddad.

And so, she took leave from every member of the pack.

Wally, the head of security, would take her to the airport.

Uma: Wally, will you miss me too, my friend?

Wally: Of course, I’ll miss you, I won't have my betting partner when I go to the casino, I'll lose all my money.

Uma: You’re mean; is that the only reason you'll miss me? Because I've nearly made you a millionaire?

Wally: Not just for that reason; if your father found out that I’ve been taking you to bets and horse races, he’d exile me, haha.

Uma: Mom knows and says nothing, she just takes half to donate to charity.

Wally: Card games are your thing.

Uma: You taught me the rules... and I use magic to arrange my cards.

Wally: We should both be in prison, haha.

Uma: What for, excessive use of magic? Hahahahaha

Wally: I’ll miss you so much, friend, do you remember when I had you participate in that dive bar with the rounds of Whiskey?

Uma: And they all ended up sprawled out, passed out drunk.

Wally: How did you do that?

Uma: When I closed my palm over the shot, the whiskey turned to water, and when I released it, it turned back to whiskey.

Wally: That night we won ten thousand dollars.

Uma: I remember, I’ve had the best nights with you, friend.

Wally: And when I took you to the wrestling match?

Uma: The mask was terrible.

Wally: Hey... I spent all afternoon sewing it.

Uma: It looked like Stevie Wonder stitched it up. I'll miss my criminal life and the illegality, haha.

Wally: Seriously, your dad doesn’t know?

Uma: If he knew, you would have found out, and not in the best way. Dad would have hanged you from the tower of Wolf Industries.

Kal: Rock... Rock... you're being called on the phone...

Rock: I’m coming... Who is it?

Kal: I don't know... I didn't ask...

Rock: Hello?

Henry: Hello Rock... it's Henry Wolf.

Rock: Mr. Wolf... how are you?

Henry: Just call me Henry, Rock. The one to take charge of the pack is traveling, I need you to pick her up at the airport. Can you do me this favor?

Rock: Absolutely. Who am I looking for?

Henry: My daughter Uma Wolf.

Rock: Perfect, I’m heading out now.

Henry: I appreciate it a lot, look after my daughter for me.

Rock: I'll take care of her, do not worry.

Henry: Thank you so much, Rock.

The portly beta grabbed his jacket and climbed into the rickety van to pick up Wolf’s daughter; they were sending a woman to take charge, which didn’t bother him—he wasn't misogynistic like most men in the region. Hopefully, she'd be nice, treat him well and wouldn't fire him... he'd help her as best he could, feeling pity since this place was no good for a city woman, a delicate young lady from a fine family. He'd protect her as best he could and if anything happened, he'd call her father.

Onix was heading out once again to see Rock... with Diablo at full gallop, he arrived in five minutes.

Onix: Tell Rock to come...

Kal: Rock's not here, alpha...

Onix: Where is he?

Kal: I don't know... he didn't say...

Onix: What do you mean you don't know, which way did he go?

Kal: He left towards the city... he was called on the phone and he left.

Onix: Who called him?

Kal: I don't know... I didn't ask.

Onix: Damn!!! Tell him I came to see him, that he should come to my pack, I need to speak with him.

Kal: Yes, alpha... I'll let him know.

He galloped away as fast as he had arrived, but towards the hills, tying Diablo to a tree beside the stream before climbing the summit; he enjoyed scaling the peak to survey Boris's lands that would soon be his.

Onix: Surely Rock went to pick up a shipment of liquor and whiskey...

The regional alphas were growing impatient, all of them coveted those lands, but he knew no one would challenge him, he could take ownership. In this part of the world, you could challenge any alpha who hadn't been in power for a year.

Pier had expressed his intention to challenge the new alpha, those lands were of interest to him.

Onix would defeat the new alpha, and no one would dare oppose him, the lands would be his. End of discussion.
