They walked through the woods. It was like eerie moment. Both of them joined hands. Aarav clutched her hands assuredly. She gave him a soft smile. That was quiet pleasing for him.
They heard a hushing noise near the ground and stood there freezing. They were relaxed when they soon found that to be a rabbit running swiftly.
Soon they looked each other terrifically when they realised the truth that the rabbit was running because of its predator. This made them terrified. They were ready with their knives and other sharp objects.
They didn't wait but kept walking at fast pace. They heard many different and distinct sounds and noises while walking through the woods. For each and every sound they hear they become more terrified , attentive, cautious.
They were whispering to each other about the time they have walked. It was half past five in the evening. It's the twilight. They were very ambitious to find the castle which was never to be seen till now. They were tired walking with their hearts running like an athlete. They want to sit somewhere fearlessly.
They found a clearing in the midst of the forest. That was quiet satisfying for them and sat there. Their peace was short lived as they heard a howl at a near distance. They tried to find a tree near the clearing and climbed that tree and sat themselves on to one of the branches. They hold their breadth when they saw a pack of wolves in the clearing howling at the moon.
Abi was so excited to see that pack because she had just saw only in the national geographic channel. The pack runs in hierarchy. The wild wolves never listen/ obey to anyone except for their leader- the alpha material. It was the strongest of all other. Next in position to the alpha is the beta, the second highest in the rank. The alphas are the most fierce, merciless for its prey but it safeguards it's pack with its own life
There was a folklore in many tribal groups that wolves and human were once mistakenly mixed by the moon goddess which eventually ended up in a supernatural creation called 'werewolf' - meaning- dangerously cruel with self centred pack with human figure.
Some other folklore says moon goddess cursed the ancient king zemora who has practiced black magic and witchcraft to suck out moon's primal soul source. Once he was practicing the craft moon goddess Selene appeared before him and asked him to stop the practice. He refused and he tried to capture her with spell but he forgot she is the most powerful celestial body who contains the indefinite power. So she cursed him to become a wolf. He felt sorry for his mistake and surrendered at her feet to take back her curse. He prayed to her for longer period of time. Begged her for forgiveness. She has melted on seeing his effort and offered him certain powers such that he can change back to human form whenever he needs. He has his wolf part inside of him. This curse was somehow convenient for him so that he can retain his human form along with his wolf. Anyhow wolf is his primal source of his life. He passed his curse/boon to his kids. They were called werewolves. Even Though they are all powerful, the first born male child of the Alpha is the one that can ascend to the throne, the other siblings strengthen the pack . They maintain hierarchy to the very core such that Alpha- the supremo/ king. His wife is the lady Alpha- the motherly figure/ queen. Often she is referred as Luna. The next is the beta - second to the alpha who executes the orders of the alpha and runs the constitution. She-beta is called Bellae. Gamma is the head of the defence of the pack. The she-gamma is called Artemisia. Omega is the one who maintains the pack house and in fact maintains housekeeping. She- omega is called Nile. The rest of the pack members are trained by Delta.
Yes! Werewolves are not any ordinary wolves. They are the army!!! They are huge in size than the ordinary wolves. They shift back to human form when they needed to. They were gifted with strength, speed, high senses and the alpha is the one who has got his highest of all gifts and guides the pack as father/ king.
Due to this incredible gift most of the werewolves started to crash and thrash most of the human dynasties. So humans prayed moon goddess to suppress their atrocities. She created mate-bond. A werewolf can only mate with its partner if he/she is his/her soulmate.
Guess what!! Those stories' credit goes to Abi's grandma who tries to fantasize kiddos with those bizarre stories.
Ok! Coming to the current situation Abi gets out of reverie of her grandma's stories when shook gently by Aarav.
"Abi! These wolves are very huge, I have never seen any wolves other than in TV but these wolves are really huge when seen in TV. We must stay close and let's be careful. " Whispered Aarav in a scary voice. He was very shocked to see Abi who looked very Enticed by the wolves. She never took off her eyes from the pack. She felt she was connected to the pack and even felt something was missing in the pack.
She even stated, " Aarav look at the pack, it was quite pleasing. Isn't it?! But you know I feel something was missing in that pack. Maybe another wolf, I guess."
It was now Aarav's turn to look differently at Abi. " Are you insane! Our life is at stake by these giants. But you are saying something is missing. Aren't you afraid !we would not even be enough for them to snack upon us. I suppose even our bones will be thrashed to be eaten. I'm scared to death but I'm much more scared to look at you and your reverie at these wolves."
"Ridiculous" exclaimed Aarav.
Abi instantly shuts his mouth with one of her hand and nudged him to see the silhouette of another huge human figure coming from distance .... In nudity
