Fated mate

Ten decades have passed and both the Redmond pack and the Silvermoon pack have refused to subside their long-termed enmity that has taken the lives of thousands of their kind both old and young.

Their hate for each other was born when the Redmoon pack was attacked without warning by an already extinct pack, the Crystalmoon pack, that used to be one of the most powerful and feared packs of their time.

They ruthlessly killed the thousands of werewolves belonging to redmoon pack including the pregnant Luna and her first and only child who she had fought hard to protect.

It turns out that they happened to have been killed by the then Beta of the Silvermoon pack and he was ordered to do this by his Alpha who had promised to help the Crystalmoon pack (the extinct pack) in exchange for a good portion of the Redmoon pack's land and properties once they take over and murder the Alpha and his entire family.

So it's politics for the Silvermoon pack and revenge for the Redmoon pack. Decades of bloody battles and thousands of deaths for the purpose of proving who's superior and who's in the right.

The Redmoon pack and Silvermoon pack faced each other in their already shifted form, gnashing their teeth furiously with bloodshot eyes and exposed teeth, ready to snap each other’s body apart.

Their long-awaited face off was about to happen under the full moon and It was said that on the night of the full moon, the strength and power of each werewolf grows ten times stronger than their original strength and abilities, making them ten times more dangerous and deadlier.

The growling of the wolves was that loud that it could be heard miles from where they were gathered.

A loud, thunderous growl erupts as both packs charge towards each other and immediately engage in a life-threatening battle, using their teeth and claws to tear each other apart mercilessly and killing hundreds of their kind in the process.

"Ahhhh!" Celia cried out loudly in pain, as she held on tightly to the clothes tied above her while biting hard the clothes that were placed in-between her lips.

"Luna, please take a deep breath and push harder." Marlene, the doctor asks of her, fearing for the child's life.

"Oh my goodness, I can't breathe!" She groaned in pain, finding it difficult to breathe properly as every fibre of her being felt like it was slowly losing its purpose. She found it even more difficult to push and breathe at the same time causing her to slowly lose her concentration.

The doctor placed his hands on her belly, slowly and softly rubbing them to help ease her pain but it wasn't working. She got weaker each passing second and the doctor worried for the child's safety even more.

The Alpha got into the bamboo hut unable to stand the cries of his Luna anymore.

"What's happening? Why isn't the child coming?" He asked, noticing that there was no sign of the baby and it's been over twelve hours since she went into labour.

"She's having difficulties birthing Alpha and she is also starting to lose her breathing pace as well. I'm afraid if she keeps pushing, she might stop breathing and we may end up losing both the child and mother." The doctor explained and the Alpha sighed.

"What can we do Marlene? I can't afford to lose both my wife and child. Is there a way to save them both?" He asked, visibly worried for his dear wife and child. He couldn't imagine having to live without his beautiful Celia and he didn't wish to lose their first child together.

"I cannot say much for now Frederick but we'll keep doing our best and I promise, I'll do everything in my power to save both your wife and child." Marlene replied, hoping she could save her childhood friend's family at this critical point in his life.

"You have to leave now Frederick. The baby needs to be born any minute from now." She instructs and he immediately heeds to her instructions but not before pleading with his eyes one more time and taking one last look at his wife with hopeful eyes.

"I...I...can't. I can't do this!" Celia cried out even in more pain.

"You have to do this Celia dear; you just have to. We are in the middle of a terrible war right now and you must birth this child safe and sound without any complications. We cannot lose you or the child my dear. We really can't." Marlene begged of her, hoping it would help her do more to save both herself and the child.

"It's all going to be fine Celia. All you have to do is follow my instructions and fight through this, are we clear?" She said to her, her eyes boring into Celia's with desperation.

Celia nodded her head, "Y...yes, I can't do this. Yes, I can." She mutters calmly, mustering all the strength she had left to save herself and her child.

The Redmoon pack were dark wolves with blood red eyes while the Silvermoon packs were brown wolves with greyish eyes that glittered under the moonlight.

A half dead dark wolf laid still on the ground, changing into its human form as he was too weak to remain in its wolf form. Hovering over him was a satisfied wolf, who smirked proudly before walking off.

"Luca!" A dark coloured wolf called out her mate through a mind link when she sensed that something had gone wrong with him.

Luca laid still on the ground, unable to reply to Layla after she had called out for him.

Layla finally spots her mate, drenched in his own blood as he lies still on the ground in his human form. Her blood boiled at the sight of her man lying in his pool of blood, barely able to breath, much less speak.

"Who did this to you my love, tell me and I will tear him apart for hurting you!" She said furiously, looking out for anyone that would come anywhere near them.

"D...don't be rash Layla. Just make sure you protect yourself." Luca muttered with great difficulty, feeling helpless that he couldn't protect the woman he loved.

In a swift moment, the wolf that had attacked and injured Luca made his way towards him in an attempt to finish what he had started and to his utmost surprise and pleasure, his prey had company.

Layla growled in anger as soon as she saw him walking towards them. She already assumed he was responsible for Luca's current state and she mentally prepared to hurt him a million more times than he had hurt her mate.

"Be careful Layla," Luca cautioned her as he could feel the level of rage that she had in her at the moment. Being the younger sister of the present Alpha of the Redmoon pack, Layla was stronger than her mate and a good number of the werewolves around her. She was always known for her dominating nature and her intense rage and bravery.

She growled again, ready to tear apart the wolf that hurt the man she loved. As she felt his pulse weakening, her heart ached and the anger in her escalated.

Layla wasn't just known to be one of the strongest she wolves in the pack, she's also known for her tactics and her ability to outsmart her enemies. There were only a few who could take her down but it would take them a lot of effort to even try to.

Both wolves moved around in circles, waiting for the perfect time to attack. The male wolf made his move once he noticed Layla letting her guards down but unbeknownst to him, she had done so to make him believe he had her in his hands.

She looked back at her mate as if she forgot she was in the middle of fight and he immediately moved to attack her. She swiftly moved aside, watching him from the side of her eye and he fell to the ground as he attempted to jump on her. Before he would turn to face her, she used her claws to scratch him and he growled in intense pain as blood started to pour out of his injury.

"You are doing just great, Celia, keep pushing, you are almost there." Marlene encouraged with a soft smile.

The baby's head had slowly come out and she was almost out of her mother's belly. The Alpha clasped his hands in worry as he prayed for the safe delivery of his child and the welfare of his beloved wife.

"It...it...argh!" She cried out.

"Good, almost there Celia, keep pushing. You can do this! You are strong! You can do this Celia!" Marlene encourages and just then, they hear voices outside of the bamboo hut seeking the presence of the Alpha.

The Alpha glanced at his wife one more time before leaving the hut to see who had asked of him.

"Sir, our enemies have successfully evaded our territory and are now marching towards the headquarters " One of his subordinates informs him.

"What?" His eyes widened in realization.

"How in the world did that happen? You mean to tell me that they killed all of our men at the border?" He asked and the man nodded his head in confirmation, earning a dry laugh from a furious Frederick.

"They have no idea what they've done. Be ready, we're heading out and we'll make them regret not knowing their place." He said through gritted teeth.

Just as he was about to leave with his people, he heard the faint cry of his child and he smiled.

The nurse came out of the hut and informed him of the good news.

"Congratulations Alpha, the moon goddess has blessed you with a female child." She informs him and his smile widens at the thought of having a beautiful baby in his life.
