The Snowmoon Healer

Contract Mate"This is not acceptable!" I shouted inside my father's office. Many of the elders and high-ranking wolf’s gasps in my reaction.

His dark aura looming inside the room but I don't care. It's my future we're talking here. He should fight and the pack. We are wolves for Moon’s sake!

"Adellee, this arrangement was made by our ancestors. I can't say no to them. It's our duty to protect our pack in any cost." Alpha Elliot said.

He is my father, the Alpha of SnowMoon Pack. We are now discussing the contract send by SilverMoon Pack. This contract is the living proof of our grand ancestors making allies to SilverMoon Alpha. They helped us long time ago in a war. The Alphas made a sealed contract binding the third generation to marry each other. Potential mate or not.

"This is my life! How can you force me to mate that blood sucker Alpha? We know them, they have a very bad reputation specially the leading Alpha now. I will not marry him." I said firmly.

Alpha Kayden is known for his cruelty and prestige. He made them even stronger when he acquired the Alpha title five years ago. They become conqueror and destroy of their enemies’ packs. He is a living proof of hell on earth.

I don't know why the Moon let this happened, but this is too much for all of us to handle. We, the SnowMoon pack have known for being white fur wolves plus the snow land we have. We are strong pack for a long time now and that is because the SilverMoon pack helped our previous alpha and the continuous alliance since then.

"If you don't do this Adellee our pack will be shattered. They will kill us all if we break the contract." Elliot said.

"Do you want to see us all dead before you agree with this? We are wolf Adellee! We are leaders of this pack. You are one of the best female warrior and healer here, even you still can't shift. Do you want us all to fight for you? For your life? Is your life important than the whole pack?" Alpha Elliot asked.

I almost breakdown when I heard his question. Can I risk their lives exchange to mine? Can I start a war for the sake of my own freedom? My family, the family of our pack members, am I really willing to sacrifice them all?

"Maybe try to know him first before you decide. He doesn't even know this contract too. Maybe he is furious like you, they can break the contract, Adellee. You at least try this thing before you decide." Father said.

I fall back to my sit. I look at everyone face. They are all looking at me, pleading to do what is necessary for the pack.

If I can make that Alpha hate me or dislike me, maybe he withdraws the arrangement and break the contract.

That idea gives me strength to agree with it.

"Okay fine! I'll do this. But I want all of you to know that this is not easy for me too. My chance to have my own mate is at risk now, I may never see him or feel him again because of this. But for the sake of the pack, I will do this." I said half smiling to everyone. I know I need to be strong and show no weakness to my people. I am the daughter of Alpha Elliot of SnowMoon pack. This is my duty to protect my pack in any cost.

"Thank you, Adellee. This is a big sacrifice for you but you made the right decision for the pack." First Beta Martin said. He is as old as my father. Soon, when Dexter is old enough, he will take over the Alpha position of my father. Though I am the first born, still I'm a female. My brother deserves the title because he is working so hard for that.

"I will do all that I can do to make this work." I said to all of them. I know it's a lie but I can make excuses when the day comes.

"Were counting on you Adellee." Dexter, my brother said.

"Father, did he know that I can't shift?" I asked. Maybe I can use that as a reason for his to back out in this stupid contract or whatever arrangement they made.

"Yes, but he still wants to continue this since they are known to have a word of honor. Alpha Kayden ensure me that he will follow this arrangement." Alpha Elliot said.

I feel week this time. So, he knows that I can't shift! I said to myself. Though I know inside my wolf is still sleeping. I can feel her but she's not awake yet. How long I will wait for you wolf? How long? I asked her but still..... she's sleeping.

"Can I go now Father? I'm too exhausted. I need to pack my things, right?" I asked.

My father looks defeated. I know he doesn't want this but he can't say no and start a war between us and one of the most powerful pack in the world.

"The first beta of SilverMoon will be here tomorrow to pick you and your things." He said.

"So, I guess, I really need to pack my things." I said.

"This meeting is over. You can all go home now." Father ordered them. The whole council of the pack leave the room except Dad, Dexter and I.

"Father, are we really doing this to Adellee?" Dexter asked.

"Yes, Dexter." My father sighs. "I don't have a choice. The leaders, Elders and high-ranking warriors already decided for this. Me being the Alpha, needed to attend to their concern. And they want to give your sister to the SilverMoon pack, even they cage and send her to Alpha Kayden with ribbons at the top." He said. He is the Alpha but this is majority of the peoples votes. He can't say no.

"I'll be fine Dex." I said to him, though I don't know what is waiting for me there. A whole life of hell!

"I don't agree with this! This is wrong." Dexter said. He looks mad and sad at the same time.

"Get over with it Dex! I am your big sister, stop acting like a crazy little brother." I said trying to change the mood.

"Be careful Adellee." Father said.

I smile back to him and hug my baby brother. I'm sure, I'm going to miss them a lot. They are my best buddies when my mother died giving birth to Dexter. That's why, I took good care of my baby brother until now.

Silver Moon First BetaI sit in my room looking at every corners. I live here for eighteen years, and now I am leaving because I am a payment for our pack debts.

I still cannot accept that this is happening now. The First Beta of SilverMoon might be here in any minute now, but I don't have a strength to pack my things.

I sob while hugging my favorite pillow. It was given to me by my dad. He said that Mom made it when I was a baby. I wish you were here Mom.

The door slowly open and my best friend Tyler enter my room. He is the First Beta son and soon to be First Beta of our pack. He is also friend with my brother.

"Hey Piggy, stop crying." He said as he wrapped his arms around me and kissing my forehead. That's what he's doing when I cried.

"I'm leaving today, Ty and it hurts. It really hurts." I said hugging him. I wish we we're mates. But he said that he can't smell the scent of potential bond between us.

Males knows when they found the right, she-wolf for them. It's the scent of woman that makes them crazy and turn the motion of the earth for them. While us, women can sense the prestige of a man. That's drowned us to them until they court us and accept them to be our mate.

"I know Piggy. Dad told me. I told him to fight for you but the safety of our pack comes first." He said.

"That's true. I hate the consequence of their help to us." I said slightly pulling away from his hug.

"Then run, you can run from this and live your own life." He suggested.

"No! I'm not going to do that. I love this pack, I'm sure that Alpha Kayden will kill all of you if I runaway." I said picking my bag to start packing.

My heart broke apart over and over again as I put my clothes one by one in my bag. I had never been away for too long to my family. Actually, I had never leave SnowMoon pack since birth.

"I will call you every day when you got there. Promise me to answer my texts and calls." He said.

"You know I will Ty. I will miss you and our endless movie marathon every day." I said smiling to him. He really has a huge part in my heart.

"I will wait for your reply then." He answered.

A knock on the door stops me from putting my pants inside the bag. Tyler opens the door and I see Amanda, one of our servants.

"Lady Adellee, Alpha Elliot send me here to inform you that the First Beta of SilverMoon pack has already arrived, and he expected you to be ready by now." Amanda informed me.

"Okay Amanda, just tell Dad that I'll be there in a minute." I said. Putting the last clothes, I need to bring. I also pack my tools in healing. I am a healer of this pack, though we also have two more healer here.

"Yes, Lady Adellee." She said before closing the door by herself.

That First Beta is surely punctuated. He is on time. I turn to look at Ty. "Hey big guy, stop pitying me and start to help me with my bags." I said while laughing.

"Your leaving me here then you want me to help you? No! You can help yourself." Tyler said but he grabbed my bags and lead the way to my father's office. A scent of Pine with honey hit me when we enter the room.

Dexter is there with my father, First Beta Martin and Third in command Arthur. I saw the First Beta of SilverMoon but he's back on me. I can feel his power and prestige. I can't help but feel too little when he stands up and turn to look at me.

"Adelle, this is First Beta Jaxson of SilverMoon pack." Father introduced Jaxson to me.

This First Beta is a good-looking guy. Tall and handsome, but something tells me that he is dangerous. He looks at me and bow a little.

Wow! Very noble of him. I said to myself.

SilverMoon pack is the total opposite of my pack. There is no snow there. It is surrounded by forest and mountains. Base on the map our ancestors provided, SilverMoon is twice the size of our pack.

"Nice meeting you First Beta Jaxson." I said but didn't bow to him. I am an Alpha daughter. I bow only to my father and other Alphas.

"The pleasure is mine Lady Adellee." He said.

"Alpha Elliot, I think we need to leave now. Alpha Kayden is waiting for our arrival this evening and I think Lady Adellee is ready to go." He said to my father.

Father look at me with some sadness in his eyes. He walks to me and hug me for the last time. Dexter looks at me, silently standing near the window of our dad office. He simply smiles at me, but I know he doesn't want me to go.

Jaxson carry my bags and follow us outside. He has three cars waiting for us. He put my things inside and tell me to go inside.

I obey him and give one final look to my dad and baby brother before I ride inside the car. Everyone is looking at me, like they are happy that I made a right decision and help them.

The ride inside the car is silent. The First Beta didn't bother to talk to me and he is just reading some novel book.

I look around inside the Limo and decided to take one of the books in his side. But before I can get it, the suddenly stop and I fall into his lap. Oh gracious!

I look at him at the same time he looks at me. Face to face, he's not showing any emotion. I feel embarrassed as I got up.

"Glen what happened?!" Jaxson shouted to the driver.

"I'm sorry Jaxson, there's a hole in the rode that I not see." Glen said.

"Next time watch out and be careful." He said.

"I-I'm sorry about the----"

"It's nothing." He said tossing me the space I intended to get before the incident happened.

"Thank you." I said. Blushing.

Sh*t! That's so embarrassing. I almost touched his grrrrr! So embarrassing.

I look away and started to read the book until I fall asleep
