Chapter 21: Part 2 Ready for anything
Two days have passed since the day we were going to be attacked. I kept wondering if I should inform
the other alphas and ask them to join me with the rest of their packs. The only problem was that the
ce needed to be bigger to let more join us. This ce could only hold a few hundreds.
Dad pushed the door open and stood at the entrance looking at me as he waited.
"May I?" He asked.
I motioned for him toe in. He closed the door behind him and sat down. I was on my office chair
writing down some statements and organising papers.
"Do you think we should start preparing for when the timees?" He asked.
"What do you mean dad? Aren''t we?" I looked at him frowning.
"We are preparing the pack, that''s right. But how about preparing for when they return sooner than
expected?"
I looked at him silently for a while.
"I was just wondering if I should tell the other packs to join us soon. The only problem is that we do not
have enough space for everyone here," I showed him my concern.

"Well. I know of arger ce than here not so far. It has been abandoned for a long while since my
childhood to be exact. My father used itst when we were in danger. It is wonderful and spacious
enough for all the wolf packs to join us. I am sure that it holds thousands of wolfs. If we send some
people to clean it and freshen it up, it will be as good as new."
My eyes stared at my dad''s.
"How about showing you where it is?" He smiled, showing me the key.
I was stunned by the beauty of the ce in front of me. A huge area filled with a lot of buildings, only
one stood above the rest. It was wide and high. It must have over a thousand rooms for sure. Arge
wall was closing the area, keeping it safe from any enemy with just onerge gate for entrance.
As you go in you see an open space full of nts and trees that needed to be taken care of as they
grew over the pathways, closing off some of the doors of the smaller houses that stood in random
locations. My lungs were filled with the scent of fresh flowers and leaves. I could also inhale the smell
of the ocean that was a few meters away.
"Isn''t it beautiful?" My dad asked, looking up and around.
"It''s perfect," I said smiling.
He took out the key and ced it in the rusty door lock. It clicked open after a couple of tries as it has
jammed by time.
Behind the huge door was a massive hallway that had an infinitely high ceiling that was being
supported by a couple ofrge columns that stated power and pride.
"Breathtaking!" I said in a low voice. Dad smiled and started to walk further in.
We entered a huge room that had a big sofa, a ck piano that was at the centre of the room and a
few other furniture that was all covered in stic.
"This is perfect. We can let the other packs know and they cane here. We can move here too,
maybe so that we will all be together, reducing the risk of losing anyone should there be another
attempt of attack."
I looked at dad that was walking towards the piano. He uncovered it exposing its beauty and opened
the keys. He sat down and started ying. It has been a long time since I heard him y so I stood in
silence and just listened to the sweet melody.
He motioned for me to join him and we yed it together for a while. The sound of the piano filled the
emptiness in this lonely mansion and with my eyes closed, I could imagine a whole lot of wolves back
in my grandfather''s good old days, dancing along and women singing to the melody.
Back at the packhouse, I called for Mei and Jake to give them the news. They were excited to know
that we were able to ask the other packs to move closer. I asked Jake to gather a good number of wolfs
to go clean up the new building and prepare for the guests.
We needed to get prepared. I mind linked the alphas and let them know of this n and we waited for
their arrival. They were expected to arrive by the end of the week so until then we needed to make the
mansion a livable ce.
I called for some good gardeners to take care of therge garden outside the mansion so that the paths
would be clear to pass through. Two guardians are to always be guarding the gate day and night. I
picked the strongest six guards to rece each other every eight hours giving them enough rest. Steph
was to gather arge group of good chefs to go take care of therge kitchen. Some appliances
needed to be changed and I left it up to her to go shop for them. Her being one of my most trusted, I
gave her my credit card.
The moonshine pack was the first to go in the new territory. I chose a few alphas to be a part of the
council but I waited until they arrived to inform them about it. Now after a long, while nning
everything out, it was time to give me daybreak.
Mei and I took the main bedroom in the new ce. As you go in you get weed by arge bedroom
havingrge wooden columns on each corner holding a white curtain. Therge window gave way for
the light to fill up the room exposing its little details. The walls were freshly painted into a white pearl
shade that helped more with brightness.
The bedside tables were painted grey and the light floor tiles had a big fluffy grey carpet in front of the
bed. Mei ced thest frame on the wall and took her time to smile at the wall full of shelves and
frames.
"I think I need to go out for a run," I told her resting my arms around her shoulder. I leaned in for a kiss
before I turned around facing the door.
"Can I join you? I would love to let my wolf free." I shifted into wolf form and waited for Mei to shift too.
"I still want to keep the same name for my wolf," I told her telepathically.
"Ok, Simba, off we go," she said back.
We ran into the forest outside the gates and challenged each other who reaches the river first. I knew
my wolf had better strength than her but I didn''t want to take my eyes off her knowing the dangers that
the forest could hold so I held back.
I followed right after her. Simba could suddenly hear some strange sounding towards us from afar.
I called Mei telepathically to stop running and we both stood in silence.
"Daywalker I told her. Get ready."
Its hissing was getting closer and closer. Then suddenly I heard total silence.
"Don''t trust that it is gone. It is ying with our minds."
Simba took a deep breath in and inhaled the smell of blood and lust. For sure it was close enough. My
wolf spotted its location and jumped over the vampire surprising it. Simba bit the vampire and broke its
neck leaving it lifeless on the ground.
Mei noticed the ring that was worn on its left hand and took it so we could show it to the rest of the
pack.
"We must warn the others that there are day walkers as well. Let''s go back before more of theme
for us. I could sense them from afar, that was the advantage of a strong wolf-like mine. They were
meters away and I managed to scent them."
"Hurry. I can smell theming," I said with a worried face.
We arrived just in time. The gate rattled with the pressure of the vamps trying to open it but it was too
strong to break it down. Simba gave them one angry growl and they were gone.
Five of the other packs arrived safely and were settling down in their areas. I rushed to refresh myself
and wore some neat tight fit grey trousers and a white shirt to present myself to the new arrivals. I
asked the alphas to tell their packs to meet me in the hall.
I gathered my pack and asked Steph to bring out some finger food for everyone to enjoy. In an hour,
everyone was talking loudly over each other filling up the silence the hall had before their arrival. Jake,
my father and Mei joined me as we stood on the stairs so that everyone could see us for our first official
meeting within the new building.
