Chapter 5: Chapter Five
Ava;
"Brian! Brian!" I call out, darting through my tiny room, and the streets, searching for my only source of happiness, my son, Brian.
Fleeing from the SpringMoon Pack, to start a new life at the Cage-Moon Pack has been terrible, but nothing is more terrible than the hell, the beast, my ex-husband made me go through. At least, I'm rewarded with a son, whom he will never find out about.
Well, I already told my son, Brian, that his biological father is dead, and I'm happy my four-year-old boy understands me.
It's been five years already but my heart still bleeds. Taking revenge on him now seems like a far-fetched idea, because I've no money or connection. The only thing with me is the stigma that still torments me to this day.
"Brian! Watch out!" My legs rush toward the road and I immediately pull Brian away from the face of the moving vehicle, and we fall to the ground, "Ouch!"
I hold Brian, running my eyes through his body, checking for any possible injuries.
"Mum… I'm fine, but your elbow is bleeding," He says and blows air into my injury with his little lips.
"We are sorry about what happened, young lady. We apologize on behalf of our driver," A voice gets my attention as my eyes meet with theirs.
A huge man and an elegant lady stand in front of us, they smell of wealth and power.
"Don't worry about it, we are fine," I say, standing up and helping Brian to his feet.
The lady holds my hands, "Are you sure you don't need a medical check-up?" She scans my body with her eyes but pauses at my left palm, and she mysteriously stares into my eyes."
I pull my palm away from her hold, "I just told you we are fine. Brian, let's go," I angrily say and walk toward the direction of my house.
"Scarlett!" The Lady screams and I halt my steps. The mentioned name sounds so familiar, but no picture played in my head. My frozen feet turn at the utterance of her words.
"Honey, she is Scarlett, our daughter," The Lady cries out, pointing at me.
Now, this whole thing is becoming funny, why will a stranger call me her daughter? Is she my mother? Her embrace cuts me off my thoughts.
A big smile runs through her face as she stares at my left palm again, "This mark you carry on your left palm is a royal mark of the Cage-Moon Pack. You can see mine and that of your father's," She says, showing me a dark Mark on her left palm.
I've always had this mark on my palm, but I never knew it signifies royalty. My heart races faster as they envelop Brian and me in warm hugs. My hot tears burn my cheeks as they run with excitement.
My birth parents!? This feels too good to be true.
*****
My emotions run wild as I sit in front of my birth father, in his office. Everything still feels unreal, even though it's been weeks since we reunited.
"Scarlett, these are all the documents we left in your name, as we prayed and hoped that the Moon Goddess would help us reunite with you someday," My father says and stretches some documents to mine.
Slowly taking them from him, I glance through them, "I can't believe these, Father, all these properties…. under my name?" My mouth drops open as I flip through the pages.
"Yes, you deserve it. And this family business is under your name," He says, stretching another document to my face.
I shake my head in disbelief, taking the document from him, "Don't you think this is too much?" I ask him, it's evident they've prepared for this day.
A bright smile appears on his face, "One more thing Scarlett, anybody who marries you, will be privileged to take over my position as the Alpha of the Cage-Moon Pack."
"Why do you sound like you are dying, Father? For your information, no one is permitted to die. We have a lot of bonding to do as a family," I say, as we stare at each other and giggle.
My father is the wealthiest man in the country, and also the power Alpha of the Cage-Moon Pack. The Cage-Moon is the most powerful in the religion, and it decides the affairs of every other pack, including that of Alpha Mateo.
"Welcome Alpha Newton, I'm delighted you honored my invite," Father says excitedly, and I turn around.
A handsome young figure welcomes my sight. He is 6ft tall, has green eyes, and a chiseled nose.
His white teeth shine at my father.
"No Alpha dares to reject your invitation, your Supremacy," Alpha Newton, says as he approaches us, holding Father's right hand and kissing his royal ring.
"This is my daughter, Scarlett, I would love for you to train her on her fighting skills," Father smiles.
"It's my honor your Supremacy," His bass voice sounds so perfect.
"Scarlett, this is Alpha Newton, he is the Alpha of the BlueMoon Pack. Though he is young, he is a very good warrior. And I trust you are in good hands," Father speaks and then walks away.
"Shall we? Your Majesty," He says, as he stretches out his right hand and I place my left hand on it.
"Yes, we shall," I smile, and we step out to our training ground.
*****
Training with Alpha Newton is one of the best things I've ever done. It's been three weeks of intense training and I enjoy every moment of it. He's a good friend and a good listener, "Is that a yes from you, Alpha Newton?" I ask him.
"Though it's a major task, I'm ready to do anything for you, your Majesty," He responds with a big smile on his face.
My father had appointed me to represent him at the big event happening in the SpringMoon Pack since I'm the heir to the throne.
I know this is a great opportunity to start my revenge on Alpha Mateo, so I asked for Alpha Newton's help. Alpha Newton knows everything that happened to me because I had already filled him in. I trust him, and I'm happy he agreed to be a part of this.

The SpringMoon Pack;
I let in a deep breath as I stood at the entrance to the event hall, with Brian on my left, and Alpha Newton on my right. I can't tell the number of warriors standing behind us, as a means of protection.
It's been five good years since I left this pack, and nothing has changed. The beast had invited the head of the Royal family to his event, but unknown to him, I'm the one in charge now.
We finally step into the hall, and my sight finds him.
The beast!
A frown graces my lips as his eyes find mine, locking eyes with me. I took a few steps forward until I was standing in front of him.
"Hello, Alpha Mateo, i..."
"Ava.." he breathes, disrespectfully cutting me off... "I want you back." He says, almost in a whisper, his eyes glistening.
"I smell love, Ava. Our ex-mate has fallen for us" Avin says in my head as she swings her tail.
I smirk as I look at him, his gaze affectionate. I can't believe this beast has fallen for me already.
Flashing a sweet smile, I step closer to him, bringing my lips over to his ears, and whisper, "The tables have finally turned… Welcome to MY world, Alpha."
