Alpha DANNA, queen of wolves without humanity

The next day, meetings between the alphas began. Three more herds had been attacked by the Manticola. Faced with this situation, Danna made the decision to send these packs to her own kingdom. The uncertainty overwhelmed her, as she did not know what they were going to face, but it seemed to be the best option to send them there. The plan was clear: once Danna managed to regain her packs and restore safety, the alphas and their people would return to the southern lands. Meanwhile, those alphas and warriors who had not sustained injuries in the attacks would stay behind to provide support to the queen. The unity of the alphas and their willingness to sacrifice their own safety for the common good was evident.

Gina was sitting comfortably at the foot of an old oak tree. Her eyes glazed intently at the delicate ballet of butterflies dancing around Eos, the flashes of color contrasting harmoniously with the girl’s sweetness.

With outstretched arms, Eos moved around the pond and was followed by a group of butterflies that flapped their wings merrily. Suddenly, he stopped his dance and looked at Gina with bright eyes.

“I’m thirsty, Gina,” he said in an innocent voice and a charming smile. Could you bring me a little bit of juice, please?

Gina nodded affectionately at the girl’s request; she got up from the ground. With gentle footsteps and a gentle smile, he walked up to the little girl and stretched out his hand to grab her.

“Come, let’s get the juice together.”

“I’ll be waiting for you here, with my friends,” Eos said as the excited butterflies landed on his right arm, the girl had it raised.

Gina surveyed her surroundings cautiously, noticing that an armed warrior was a few feet away. A deep sigh escaped his lips as he gazed at the little girl beside him. The dilemma took over her mind: “Should I leave Eos alone for a moment or pressure her to accompany me?” If something happened to the little girl in his care, the consequences would be disastrous, then he said to himself “I don’t think anything will happen to her if I leave her alone for a few seconds”

“Okay, I’ll get you the juice, don’t move from here, I’ll be back,” she walked at a brisk pace into the mansion.

Meanwhile, an old wolf that had been prowling the surroundings of the mansion. He spent days observing and studying the environment. Finally, upon spotting Eos running alone around the pond, she came out of hiding with a depressed look.

“Hello, pretty princess, are you playing airplane?”

Eos heard a thick voice, stopped immediately, and turned to see where it was coming from. He took a few steps back at the sight of the old man. As he was about to run, he heard:

“Don’t be frightened; I’m one of the wolves on the council and Lamia’s grandfather. I’m sad because it hurts me that she’s no longer with me. You remind me a lot of her when I was a child.

Eos glanced into her sad eyes, and tears began to roll down her wrinkled face. In her tender little voice, she stammered:

“Yes, I remember, the one who cried for the woman Mommy defeated in the tournament. Why is she crying now? Does anything hurt? I cry a lot when something hurts or I fall.

“Because I miss my granddaughter so much and my heart hurts. I’m not going to hurt you. You know why? She said, wiping tears from her face.

“I don’t know, sir,” he shook his head.

“Because you’re pretty like my granddaughter, and I loved her very much. I’m just looking for someone to talk to. Do you want to be my friend? I was left alone.

It seemed to him that the old man was helpless and wept for his granddaughter, as his grandmother Hecate did for her when she was sick. She remembered seeing him one day at the mansion when she was looking for her daddy, and the employees treated him with respect.

“Because he doesn’t have anyone, I have my daddy and my mommy,” she said in a worried little voice.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I had a son and he died. I was left with my only granddaughter, but she was defeated by your mommy. Now I’m left alone.” Fabricio shed more desolate tears. So, can we be friends? I’m a strong old wolf. Do you think I can do something to you? I just want to play with you like I did with my granddaughter.

“Okay, we can be friends and we can play,” he said, a tender smile on his lips.

“How are you going to be my friend, promise me you won’t tell anyone what we talked about,” she stammered, staring at the side of the mansion, where Gina appeared, coming back to the girl.

“Why shouldn’t I say it?” Mommy says that I shouldn’t tell lies because they make her sad and that I should tell her everything I do.

“Because I don’t have a family, and if you tell your mommy, they’ll send me away from this herd, and that’s all I have to live on.” Remember what your mommy said at the tournament: the old wolves on the council must leave the blue pack and find a new home. But since I’m old, I don’t know where to go. I don’t have anyone.

“It’s true what Mommy said, I heard her,” Eos felt sad for the old man. I have my parents. Okay, I won’t say anything.

“Thank you, princess. Do you think if in three days you come and play with me? I’ll be waiting for you, but don’t bring anyone, because if you don’t, I’ll be sent out of the pack, and that’s what we don’t want, right?

Eos shook his head.

“See you soon, pretty princess,” the old man turned his back on her and disappeared into the undergrowth into the woods. She knew him very well and had a place to hide. He whispered as he ran:

“Soon the time will come to avenge your death, my beloved granddaughter.” She was all she had left of her son. In the herd of origin, she has no one to tie him to her. When his son died, he already belonged to the council of elders, and his granddaughter dreamed of the moon of Eros. They had met when their granddaughter was a puppy. From that moment on, she fell in love with Eros. Upon the death of his son, Lamia left his pack, leaving it in the hands of the beta of that pack, and moved into the blue pack with his grandfather. He had helped her in all her plans.

Gina came running up and crouched down at Eos’ level.

“Princess, who is that man?” Did it hurt you? What did he say?

“Nothing, he’s a lonely man, he didn’t say anything to me,” he said, swaying from side to side with his head bowed.

Gina hugged the trembling girl and gently took her little hand. He walked with her to the mansion and looked for Maya, who was reviewing a document in the living room. Upon seeing her, Gina told her what had happened. She instantly connected with Danna through a link. Maya asked the girl about the man’s identity. Eos repeated the same thing he had said earlier to Gina.
