“Please don’t go”
“I can’t stay Elise, you know that. I have a Pack to go back to. I have a responsibility.” Dad hugged me. Before executing the plan, we had to make sure that anybody who wasn’t a Pack member was informed. We were all stood outside the pack house waiting for my dad to make his decision.
“Dad! There’s something wrong. Please stay. I have a bad feeling about you leaving. Something’s going to happen.” I begged. Ever since my dad informed me about his departure, something just whispered to me. Something bad was about to happen.
“Please dad.” My vision became blurry. I held on to my dad’s hands pulling him back. Leopold, Jerry, chance and Alexis just looked on.
“I’m sorry” he kissed my forehead getting into the car along with his driver. He drove off. Not being able to help it, I fell to the floor on my knees. Something was wrong. My dad was the only family I had left. I couldn’t lose him. Before, I could do anything I felt a hand stoke my hair.
“Dad!” I jumped up and straight into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me pulling me closer.
“Please don’t go” I cried. My dad pulled back.
“I trust you” he whispered. Looking around I saw the car wasn’t here.
“The car?” I asked voicing my thoughts.
“I told the driver to go back” he answered. I nodded kissing his cheek. He smiled walking back into the pack house. I smiled a little to myself turning around to face the others. Leopold stood there, slightly opening his arms. With my smile turning wider, I ran into his arms. He wraps his arms around my waist, lifting me off the ground, tucking his face into my neck.
“Awwee. Isn’t this cute, it’s not like we’re threatened of an attack or anything. Nope, we have all the time in the world.” Isaac exclaimed sarcastically. I moved out of Leopold’s arms but he still placed one arm around my waist.
“Shall we?” I asked addressing everyone. They knew what I was on about. They all nodded and soon we were on our way.

‘Are you sure this will not harm you’ Leopold mind-linked me.
“You sure you’re going to be okay?” Jerry asked not even a second later.
“Doing this will take up a lot of energy of mine. I have never done anything even remotely close to this. But I do know, it is not life threatening. Nothing will happen me, just leave me a little weak that’s all.” I explained to everyone. They looked un-sure but nodded anyway. Leopold just stood there.
“Stand back” I ordered stepping forward. Before I could place one foot down, I was pulled back and a pair of lips assaulted mine. I wrapped my hand around Leopold’s neck pulling him closer. He pulled book resting his forehead against mine.
When I looked at me, raising my eyebrows, he just shrugged. Smiling, I turned back around to face the pack territory line.
“Now remember. Close your eyes and don’t not interrupt the process. ” I reminded. They nodded. “Also, if I fall, catch me” I added after a while. They all took another step back and rolled my shoulders. I am a wolf: It’s my nature to be kind, gentle and loving. . .but know this. When it comes to the matter of protecting my friends, family and heart. You shouldn’t trifle with me, because I’m also the most powerful and relentless creature you will ever know.

Isaac’s POV
Elizabeth rolled her shoulders before lifting her hands in front of her. At first she stood there for a minute completely motionless. But then there was a spark. Taking that as a lead we all closed our eyes. During the time, I had to turn my head away since I still felt the light flash through my eyelids. A second later, I opened my eyes to see Elizabeth’s arms shaking furiously. She suddenly started swaying and Leopold being him was instantly by her side, an arm wrapped securely around her waist. He lifted her off her feet and walked back towards the pack house. Jerry and Alexis followed.
I stayed back assessing the area. I walked forwards to where Elizabeth was standing. Lifting my hand, in front me and all I felt was a barrier. Grateful for having Elizabeth as my Luna, I walked back to the pack house to check on her. Walking into Leopold’s room, I headed straight for him. Elizabeth was still unconscious.
“We need to inform the pack.” I informed. Leopold looked up at me before nodded. He moved forward pecking her forehead before leaving.
‘They will inform me as soon as she wakes up’ he echoed in my head. I conveyed the message to Jerry and Alexis before I followed Leopold. I had already called for a meeting so the entire pack was lined on the field, talking in hushed whispers. As soon as Leopold made an appearance, everyone shut up, un-consciously taking a step back, heads facing the ground.
“The Alpha and I apologise for any inconveniences caused by holding such a sudden meeting.” No one dared to look up.
“The only reason this meeting is being held is to inform you of the current situation of the pack.” I spoke up again. This was normal. Leopold had never spoken in front of the pack. Ever. He hardly ever speaks to me. Yet, since Elizabeth’s arrival he has began to express himself more through his voice rather than mind-link.
‘Do not inform them of the mole’ Leopold ordered. Keeping that in mind, I spoke up once again.
“As you may know we have been attacked recently, not once but twice.” I paused. “But we have come up with a solution. As you may already know that Alpha has found his mate. Our Luna.” I waited for a reaction. Not a sound. They were too afraid to speak in-front of Leopold. He just had that effect. Elizabeth had given us permission to inform the pack of her powers, if it meant they would be safe. She was the perfect Luna.
“Our Luna is an elemental” This time there were gasps. “Not just an elemenatal, but the rarest of them all. She is the single wolf who has the powers of all the elementals. Air. Earth. Fire and water. Along with many other powers.” Muttering was all that was heard. Leopold growled. Silence.
“One such power is creating walls. They are more like shields. Using her power she has created a wall around our pack territory, protecting the pack from any invaders.” Before I could say anything else another voice interrupted me.
“The enemies know that the Goddess has an amazing plan for us. That’s why they always try to wipe us out. But you have to fight. The Goddess is planning something extraordinary for you or the devil wouldn’t be fighting us this hard. You are going to win!” Leopold’s voice boomed. Along with everyone even I was silenced in shock. Everyone collected the jaws that had hit the ground before blinking back into reality. Leopold looked around stepping back again letting me speak once again. Before I could say anything though a small girl started clapping. Soon everyone began clapping and cheers erupted on the ground.
“Alpha. Alpha. Alpha” They all chanted simultaneously. I smiled looked back at Leopold who just showed-off his usual poker face. Rolling my eyes, I turned back around raising a hand silencing everyone.
“As for know, I need you all to be on alert. If you notice anything unusual please do not hesitate to inform us. You are dismissed.” Everyone ran off to do their own separate things, which left Leopold and I alone. Before anything else could happen we were interrupted by Alexis.
‘She’s awake’ Leopold immediately ran off with me following in tow.
