Chapter 67.
7 years later….

Salems POV.

I feel my eyes burn from the tears I’ve been holding back, my father named me as alpha last year and I spent my life with him training for this position but never once did anyone train me to loose the woman who saved my life as a child and raised me. I swallow hard listening to my fathers booming voice flow over the pack, sorrow filling the air round us, every species has gathered to grieve the loss of our former Luna with us as a family.

Since my aunty Valerie completed the prophecy the pack lands have flourished, there are rarely any attacks anymore besides the stray rogue here and there, the species all get together for yearly celebrations and parties. There has been so much safety and happiness for so long now and in one quick second my mother is gone and we are cloaked in a darkness once again, I look around to my pack members and notice how drawn in to my fathers words they are. Everyone loved my mother deeply, she treated the pack members amazingly, she had so much compassion and kindness for the pack.

My mind flashes to the day it happened making my heart ache as I continue fighting to hold back the tears, my mothers pale face frozen in time, her body slumped over on the ground as her blood began to spread around her. A single rogue managed to sneak in to the pack during the mating ritual last week, it’s the only time a rogue could even slip through unnoticed, the scent of wolves when they meet their mates can cover up anything. My heart hurts remembering the way she fell, the rogue slit her throat in seconds after the un mated wolves took off in to the forest. My fathers earth shattering roar breaking through the trees snapping me out of my trance making me retreat to him as the other wolves from the pack hit the ground knowing the tragic sound that just rumbled the ground.

His cry’s burned in to my mind forever, the loss of a mate is more then I could ever imagine. The rogue was executed the next day as my father hid away in his room to sit with his sorrow, I remember my mother being so excited for this mating ceremony.
“You will find her this year darling, I can feel it.” Her words flow through my mind from that morning as I can almost feel her hand on my cheek. The crowd begins to split up catching my attention from my wondering thoughts, I guess it would be more of a nightmare.

My fathers hand slides in to mine squeezing it softly and I look over to him taking a deep breath.
“What are we supposed to do now” I ask trying to keep my voice steady as I feel one of my sisters wrap herself around my leg.
“I’m not sure son, I’m honestly not sure.” His voice seems broken and sad and I feel my chest ache once again.
