Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 40

BECKY.

I pulled out the silver wolf book again and set it down on the table in front of us. “I think that you might be the wolf that this book is about.” I told her. Amber looked at me visibly confused. “I only read a little bit so far and was hoping that you wouldn’t mind me borrowing it to have a good read of the rest.” I continued. She agreed to me taking the book with me for a little while, and after we sat and talked about why I thought this, I made my way home. I had the rest of the day off, and I wanted to shut myself in my room and finish the book.

I curled up with a cup of tea and began reading from where I’d left off. The book says that the Goddess will only create a new silver wolf when there is going to be a real threat to the werewolf community. The silver wolf will be vital in defeating that threat. The werewolf, who wasblessed by the Moon Goddess, will be able to communicate with their wolf and even shift from around five years of age. They will be stronger, faster, and bigger than even an Alpha. The silver wolf will be granted special abilities by the Goddess. These can vary but can include visions, mind reading, aura reading, the ability to mindlink with any werewolf regardless of distance or pack, and in even rarer instances mind control. When the silver wolf finds their true mate and they have mated and marked each other, then the mate will also share these powers. However, if a chosen mate is taken instead, then once the mate linking ceremony is performed, then the mate will find their wolf enhanced but not to the same degree as a true mate would. The silver wolf’s pups will be strong, fast, and destined for great things.

I paused to refill my tea. If I was right that Amber was this silver wolf, then no wonder Mary wanted her to keep quiet about it. I settled back down and continued. The silver wolf is completely immune to both silver and wolfs bane. So far, no weaknesses have been found. Under the light of a full moon, the silver wolfs fur will glow slightly, and at this time, it can burn another werewolf like silver. Only their true mate will be immune, even before mating and marking have taken place. A chosen mate will never be immune. Both true and chosen mates will both still be vulnerable to wolfs bane and actual silver.

The silver wolf will be a great leader, and their pack will grow in size and strength until they are bigger, stronger, and greater than any other pack. Even the werewolf council will bow down to them. In times of great need, the silver wolf can even summon the Moon Goddess herself. The book ended by saying that the author knew all this to be true as he was a silver wolf himself. He had written this book and given it to the council so that they could help the next silver wolf who came along.

On the back page was an old black and white photograph of a handsome man. His hair was peppered with grey, and his eyes were pale and inviting. My eyes were drawn to his wrist. There was something familiar about his bracelet. It was a moon with a stone of some kind attached. It took a few seconds for me to realise that it was the same as Amber’s necklace. Underneath the photograph was a name, Joseph Michaels.

I put the book in my bag excitedly. I couldn’t wait to tell Amber what I’d found. Although I still found it strange that I’d never heard of the silver wolf before. I wondered how long it had been since the last one. The book had said there were a couple of hundred years between the Goddesses’ blessings. So surely this Joseph must have been the latest silver wolf before Amber.

I pulled my laptop towards me and clicked onto the werewolf community Internet browser. We have access to all the normal human ones as well, but we have our own that humans and other beings can’t access. It is where a lot of our history is stored as well as the contact details for packs and a directory of Alphas, Lunas, and their officers, among many other things. It’s basically a giant online werewolf library. If there was any information to be found on this Joseph Michaels, I should be able to find it here. Typing in his name, I sighed heavily. There were multiple results. I began to read through some of the entries. The first was far too recent to be him. It was about a werewolf that had saved an Alpha family from a burning building. I read a few more of the entries. Every Joseph Michaels that I read about seemed to be known for good deeds.

Finally, I found something promising. Joseph Michaels had been the Alpha of the Crescent moon pack almost two hundred years ago. He and his Luna Lilly had led an army of wolves into battle against a swarm of vampires looking to wipe the werewolves out. They had defeated the vamps, but not before one of them had managed to inject Lilly with a lethal dose of wolfs bane. Joseph had disappeared not long after, leaving the pack in the capable hands of his younger brother Albert as he and Lilly had not yet had any children. There was no record of how Joseph had died.

My growling stomach reminded me that it was time for dinner. I decided to go down to the restaurant and grab something. I wanted to talk to my brother anyway. He had been acting shifty earlier, and I wanted to know what that was all about. I wanted to ask him about the red wolf Amber said she’d seen last night as well. Adam’s wolf was red. I wondered if it might have been him. My parents had clearly thought the same thing at breakfast going by the way they’d acted when Amber told us about it.
