My Silver Alpha
Chapter 45

Six months later…

Valentina was saying goodbye to little Sofia who had made the decision to join the albino wolf pack, she was sure she was a white wolf so she preferred to leave as a child to spend her maturity in those lands. She was only a cub but she was quite mature, and after the death of her parents the young girl had become somewhat quiet and reserved.

-Are you sure you want to leave? -Eren asked her in case she changed her mind, “You’ll be a cub princess here.

-Thank you alpha, but I’d rather leave.

-It’s alright, you know you’ll always have a place here in the castle,” The wolf ruffles the pup’s hair.

-Sofi, why don’t you stay? asks the teary-eyed chestnut.

-Because it’s for the best, besides, in three months you’ll be busy enough with the birth of her baby. The girl caresses the bulging belly of the chestnut who was six months pregnant.

-It’s OK,” she answers, wiping away her tears and then hugs the baby girl.

Alpha Maximus’ beta was waiting for the baby girl. He had been sent to take the albino wolves who wanted to join the pack. Very few had accepted, but almost none had stayed. Many wolves from various packs also joined them, the old man was creating the largest albino wolf pack in existence.

-It is time,” proclaims the scowling beta.

The girl bids farewell to the pair, walking behind the beta along with another group of people. Eren and his wife watched the scene sadly, but there was nothing they could do but leave the girl. If she wished to return she would always have the castle doors open to her.

-I’ll miss her so much,” the chestnut whispered tearfully.

-Don’t worry, she’s a strong puppy, I’m sure she’ll do fine. She’ll grow up to be strong in that pack.

That same day in the afternoon, Bardas felt very tired of being locked up in his room. His son kept him confined in his room all the time so that he would not get worse. But the confinement was slowly killing him, so under any complaint he received from his son Bardas left the castle longing to run a little in his wolf form since it had been 6 months since he had transformed and stretched his body a little.

When he took off his shoes he felt the earth between his toes which gave him a sense of peace and tranquility, he immediately felt it, the excitement of transforming was imperious. So he ran into the forest transforming his body into a huge furry wolf. The breeze mixed through his thick fur giving him that feeling of freedom that he liked so much. It had been a long time since he had felt free of pressure and worries, now he could die with peace of mind.

When he reached the perch he stopped, his breathing was not normal. He knew he couldn’t stand it for long, he was grateful to have gone out that afternoon and become a wolf for the last time. He lifted his muzzle, breathing the icy air while the breeze ruffled his fur… it was a unique moment, he no longer had time, this was his moment.

Suddenly the sound of some branches behind him put him on alert, the wolf only looked sideways while he lowered his ears to see who came out of a pile of branches. An albino wolf came out of hiding, growling at Bardas.

-So you survived, I’m not surprised, Lucian.

-I have a purpose in this life, old man, and you have put me off.

-You won’t get the power you seek with me.

-But at least I’ll get some of it.

-You’ll never defeat my son with your strength.

-I know, but I will find ways.

At that Bardas felt an intense pain settle in his chest causing him to cringe, it was his time. The albino wolf fell to the ground without being able to move.

-You damn old man, you’re dying,” the wolf growls, snarling and running towards him, “You won’t die before I take from you what I want.

-The wolf closes his eyes, thinking of his wife, they would soon be together.

-Unhappy! I will get my power no matter what.

With those words Lucian attacks an almost lifeless Bardas. Acquiring from him exactly what he wanted, as he swallows his heart the wolf feels a greater power coursing through his body. He shakes his muzzle savouring the victory he has won.

-Yes, I’ve finally done it,” he smiles, “There’s only one thing missing, but that will have to wait a while.

Lucian glances at the body of his enemy and then turns to hide in the forest. He had nothing more in these lands, he would look for a new home to live in until he at least had enough power to defeat his greatest enemy Eren.

After Bardas’ corpse was found on the edge of the inn, Eren sent a pack of strong wolves to patrol all the territories in search of Lucian. Because of the hole that lay in his father’s chest he automatically knew that the man was still alive and that was a problem, because even though he broke his neck the wolf was still roaming around.

Unfortunately they didn’t find him, let alone the wild wolves, it was as if they had vanished out of nowhere. Even so, he would continue to search until exhaustion, his father’s death would not go unpunished.

After a few months the birth of her son filled the castle with joy, Valentina had given birth to a healthy and strong boy who in a few years would become the new king of the silver moon. In honour of the king’s father she named him Bardas, for he had been a great leader and an excellent father. Eren could not have been happier and prouder for the arrival of his cub. With time Valentina mastered her wolf powers better, she was very strong and trained daily with her husband.

Things in the castle were going well, Eren as king and Valentina as queen. In all the time she had been by her husband’s side she had regained her memory, her case seemed hopeless and since she didn’t know if she had a family she decided to give up looking for ways to remember. She concentrated on her new family, she felt a little sorry for her loved ones who might be looking for her, but because of the time that had passed and the seriousness of the accident, they probably thought she was dead. And in a way it was for the best, because she was a werewolf was not something that humans would take kindly to.

One cloudy morning Eren and his wife were running freely in their wolf forms, like a pair of playful puppies biting and pulling at each other.

-Are you happy being a werewolf? -Eren speaks to his moon through his mind.

-Very happy!

-Won’t you miss your human family? We can look for it if you want…

-No, I think it’s too late for that now,” the she-wolf replies, sitting on the edge of the perch.

-I only want what makes you happy.

-I know, and this makes me happy…..

Eren licks his moon’s ear showing his love and affection. The decision he was making was important to him, because it told him a lot about the unconditional love she felt for him. A love that would keep them together for many years to come.

-I love you Valentina,” he said, sitting down next to her, contemplating the peace of the water in the pool.

-And I love you, my silver alpha.
