Rori-POV
I pulled out a silver arrow from the head of a dead rouge and placed it into my quiver. It was late afternoon when i left my room to help with the clean up of the aftermath from the attack.
After the stranger had brought me out of the  werehouse and the other two shifters had arived, i passed out. When i woke up, i was back in my room and Phoebe was no where to be seen. So, i came out to see that some of the worriors were cleaning up the field.

Since my arrows are silver, all the wolves were avoiding them and since i am known as a human, i have been the only one collecting my arrows before the rest took the bodies of the dead rouges.
I came over a pile of rouges each with silver arrows sticking out of their bodies and i sighed.
I pluged the arrows as i looked back on the events of what happened a couple of hour ago. Those rouge were under the influence of the shadows and for some reason, some of them were not trying to kill me. Some were trying to drag me to the woods.
My lioness stirred in my chest and i placed my hand over my heart. It was still beating weird because of the iron. I took a deep breath then went back to pluging thr arrows.
"You okay?"
I heard a familiar voice from behind me and i looked over my shoulder to see Adalwolf standing there with his hands tucked in his pants' pocket.

I nodded my head and went back to collecting my arrows.
Just ignore him and he'll go away.
"Shouldn't you be at the pack hospital?" He asked with actual concern in his tone.
"I'v already been taken care of." I answered without looking back. When i woke up, i was all healed but that claw on my shoulder and bite on my forearm has left a scar on my skin. A scar i was confused with since i have healing abilities.

I was counting my arrows when i heard him coming closer. He was too close, close enough that i can feel his breath faning my back.
"Rori..." he called out with a soft voice and i turned arount to look at him.
"Where is Brandon?" My question takes him back and he looked at me confused.
"I saw him take Phoebe during the attack. I need to know if my friend is okay." I mummbled just loud enough for him to hear me as i hicked my quiver over my shoukder.
Adalwolf took a deep breath and stepped back. That's when i saw the sweat on his forhead and the shallowness of his breath. My silver arrows were affecting him and taming his wolf.
I squeezed the strap of my quiver and pretended like i don't give a damn as i looked him over.
"Take me to them." I demmanded as he shifter uncomfortably where he stood.
"The silver..." he said and i interuptted him.
"Silver doesn't affect me. I'm not a wolf. You said it yourself years ago. I'm nothing but a weak human." I saw him flinch at my words before i continued.
"Look, Adalwolf. We are not about to stand here and talk to eachother or act like we're concerned for one anothers safty when clearly we're not. We are absolutly nothing to eachother. Thank you for helping me earlier but that will be the only time i will ever accelt help from you because we are nothing but strangers. Strangers with painful pasts. So please, stop pretending to care and making this unneccesarly difficult for the both of us and just take me to Brandon so i can ask him where Phoebe is."
Adalwolf just looked at me for a couple of seconds before nodding and turning away.
I followed him from behind as he made his way to one of the pack housed. As we walked in to the suit that was assigned to the rage wolf pack, every eye turned to us.
I paid them no mind as i followed him up the stairs to the third floor of the house. When we got to the end of the stairs, he opened the last door and held it open for me.
As soon as i walked in, my sences are overwhelmed by his scent and i already know that he's staying in this room.
I took a deep breath of his scent and acted like i am in no way affected by the scent. But my Lioness was clearly having a hard time. She quickly faded to the back of my head as to not cause me any trouble.
"Rori?"
Phoebes' soft voice broke me out of my thought and i looked over to her. She was sitting on the bed, wrapped by a thick blancket with her left arm wrapped in bandaid and her eyes all puffy.
"Hey..." i moved over to her and as i sat on the bed, Brandon walked out of the bathroom.
"Rori?" He looked at me and i couldn't help but look at his cloudy eye and scarred face and feel bad.
Eventhough i have been wondering why he was left with scars, he was still hurt because of me. He lost his one eye because of me. And there is nothing i coukd do to fix it.
"Hey." I said and Brandon looked at phoebe before his eyes turned to me.
Brandon said hey before he looked at Adalwolf who hans't stopped staring at me.
"We'll give you a moment." Said Brandon before he tapped Adal on his shoulder and walked out of the room. After adla left the room i turned to look at phoebe.
"Are you okay?" Both of us asked at the same time and she smiled.
"I'm okay. Brandon helped me at the attack and with my wound. What about you? I heard something happened but its hush- hush. Noah came to tell me that Alpha Light wants us at her meeting tonight. All the alphas and their second and third in command will be there. He said that it's a must we show up."
I shook my head at her. "Honestly...i have no idea what happened. All i know was that i saw a rouge going for the doungens and my lioness wouldn't let me look away. I had to make sure that guy was okay."
"Why?"
Phoebe looked as confused as i was but i couldn't give her an answer. So i shook my head again.
"So...what happened after Brandon saved you? Did you two talk?" I asked her and she sadly smiled at me.
"No. We didn't talk about the whole mate thing. But he took care of me and he didn't look like he hates me. I think that's a good sign, right?"
I chuckled as her cheecks flushed and i nudged her with my shoulder.
"Yes it's a good sign." I answered and she gave me a bright smile.
***
All the alphas and their beta and gammas were present. Mr. Beam, his daughter and a couple of professors including Sithy were there too.
I sat next to phoebe and opposite to jammy, my old bully and the current thrid in command of the rage wolf pack who hasn't sneered or even galce at me like i expected him to do.
At the back of the besk, Alpha Light sat with her arms crossed over her chest and her eyes closed tightly.
After everyone asked to come, filled in the office, the doors were closed and it has been silent for about thirty minutes now. Alpha light opened her eyes with a sigh as the door opened and i turned around to see her mate walk in. Even though he's a human, it looks like he had earned the respect of their people as none of the wolves complained about having a human here.
"Rieka is tucked in for the night." He commented before placing a kiss on her forhead and moving to a corner of the office to sit.
"Has anyone experiance attacks in the past few month like this?" Alpha light immidealty jumps to the matter in hand and i understood that she was just waiting for her mate to join in.
Every one shook there heads except for phoebe and myself. Since we are not pack, no one paids us anymind except for Sithy.
Her small voice called out from the back of the room.
"What about Rori and Phoebe?" She asked but some of the professors turned to glare at her. She immideatly bowed her head and stepped back but she had already caught the attention of Mr. Beam and so he started staring at us.
"No rouge attacks." Phoebe answered "but there have been...creatures roaming the forest where Rori and i live. They have attack Rori two years ago and eventhough they left, they have been roaming the forest insearch of something until a couple of month ago."
When she finished speaking, i continued.
"The creatures...they tried to drag me somewhere that night. It felt like they were doing that today too..."
"That happened to me too." Alpha Light spoke and Mr. Beam grumbled "same here."
That is when i realized that Mr. Beam was the giant bear i helped during the attack and the giant gray wolf was Alpha Light herself
"What are this creatures?" Adalwolf asked but the answer came from someone unexpected.
"Shadows." Brandon whispered from behind his hood. All eyes turned to him as he slowly lifted the hood from his face. "They're shadows. They're the ones' that gave me this" he pointed to his cloudy eye. It seemed like only a hand full of people knew how he got it.
"Creatures with no forms." Sithy called out from the back of the room only to be glared at by the professors once agian.
"Will you let her speak!" Darla, Mr. Beams daughter suddenly screamed at the professors with a rage that took everyone by surprise. Her powerful aura silenced the professors and i was left to wounder what the hell she was. Even though her father is a bear shifter, she is not a shifter at all.
Mr. Beam glanced down at his fuming daughter before he looked over to Sithy. Something flashed in his eyes but quickly disappeared and he nodded his head. Sithy cleared her throat before steping closer.
"The shadows you speak of, they can only be seen by a certain shifters. They have no shape and they consume every soul they come across. It was said that they were summoned by a witch. I believe she is the cursed luna."
"The cursed luna is not a witch. She's a were wolf." Noah interupted her but Asher, the former beta of this pack shook his head.
"She's right. The cursed luna might have been a shifter but it is said that she came from a long line of witchs lost in her blood."
The cursed luna. That tale makes me shiver everytime someone talks about it. Sithy continued with her explanation.
It was a myth from hundreds of years ago when an ordinalry she-wolf found her fated mate to be an alpha of a pack. The name of the pack or the true names of the wolves were lost in history but one thing is for sure.
That ordinary she wolf killed her alpha mate and took over his pack. And with helps of black magic, she destroyed the council of shifters that had been leading and govering shifters of all kind, be it prey or preditor.
That she-wolf got her nick name, the cursed luan as she laid waste to lands and territories of shifters. She excuted anyone who would go against her. It was said that many shifters were extinct because of the massacar she laid.
She took power and made ever strong being bow down to her as she fed on their beast. Being the lord of shifters wasn't enough for the power hungery she-wolf. And so she turned her sight over to human beings.
After a year of authority, the last leaders of the council gathered to fight against her. That rebellion took fourty years to end and as the sifters finally distroyed the cursed luna, all four of the main leading council memebers had died and two of them had went extinct.
Phoebe had brifely told me that one of those leading councils that went extinct were lion shifters and the other was still unknown.
The remaining shifter of wolves and bears were not strong enough to take the role of the leaders so the council was permanently disolved. That was how so many different packs imerged.
"Why are you telling us a myth?" Jammy asked Sithy as she finished explaining the story.
She looked over to him, "Because, if what i am about to tell you is right, then we are all doomed."
