Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

My father took no time to call the All Alpha Council once again, the moment he learnt about the attack on Tristan’s Pack.

Midnight got a smack across her face because she had listened to me and left me behind with an unknown, injured boy, amidst all the turmoil, but I am sure she didn’t mind that. I was almost eighteen and she was just a couple of years older than me. But she was like my shield, getting all the scolding on my behalf whenever I was doing something outlandish and honestly, that frequency was quite often. Poor thing but I didn’t have time to feel guilty at the moment.

The human boy who had just transformed was wreaking havoc on Ryan. He could have easily killed him with one sharp bite but I knew he was withholding because I asked .

I had asked Ryan to subdue him without hurting him, but I didn’t realize how difficult that would be.

“Ryan, be careful!” I shouted from the sidelines. “Don’t hurt him if you can avoid it!”

“I’m trying my best,” Ryan grunted, blocking a swipe from the child’s claws. “But he’s strong. I don’t know how much longer I can hold on.”

I knew that Ryan was risking his own safety to protect the child. I felt a pang of guilt for putting him in this position, but I had to try to help the child. He had already been through hell as it seemed.

“Keep going, Ryan,” I urged. “You’re doing great. We just need to find a way to calm him down.”

As the tussle between the two continued, I racked my brain for a solution. I looked here and there, looking for something, anything. Suddenly, I remembered a technique that my grandmother had taught me.

She was long dead and may the heavens bless her soul.

“Ryan, hold on,” I called out. “I think I have an idea.”

Ryan looked at me quizzically, but I knew that he trusted me. He tried to hold the child still under his paws as I approached him slowly.

“Listen, little one,” I said softly, using my gentlest tone. “You don’t have to be afraid. We’re here to help you. You can trust us. Sssshhh! ”

I was moving my index finger in front of him to divert his attention as my other hand dealt a sharp blow between his ears, on his neck and I begged that I had hit the numbing spot right because if not, he would definitely be pouncing either over me or over Ryan.

To my surprise, the child started to calm down. His breathing slowed, and his claws retracted.

“Good job, Sherizad,” Ryan said, relieved. “You did it.”

” Yeah, we did! ” I breathed and laughed with relief as the boy went into a deep slumber and his body constricted back to a human child in Ryan’s arm.

Ryan and I were able to subdue the child without hurting him. It was a close call, but we had managed to avoid serious injuries though Ryan was bleeding.

I had come back to my tribe with the boy while Ryan had gone back to check on Tristan.

My father took a lot of care, checking and rechecking the specimen that I had brought back.

” Hhhmmmm, a human that has been cursed. In all my years as an Alpha I have seen many dark things but trust me when I say this Sherizad, the one that cursed this boy isn’t anyone ordinary. His tongue was sacrificed in order to give him this wolf strength. We will be locking him up for the time being. ”

He clapped to call his guards to take the boy away but I clung onto his hands in desperation.

” Father, no, please. The poor thing looked so scared when he transformed. He has already been through a lot as it seems. Please don’t put him in prison… I will take responsibility for him, father please… ”

” SHUT UP! ”

His yell silenced me before I could complete my petition.

” This transformation that you described was not voluntary. It was random. We have no idea what his trigger was. Do you want him to get killed or do you want him to kill somebody? ”

That silenced me effectively. I couldn’t override his logic.

” We need to keep him under observation till we learn his anatomy, traits and weaknesses. He is a threat before we have done that. ”

He slammed his hand on the side of his chair which was basically a big fat round table, with animal fur on them to sit.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

” He is not a specimen father. He is a little boy. I understand he can be dangerous when out of control but he is not a threat, he is a victim. ”

I was still protesting.

” We will see about him later. Now is not the time. I have called for an Alpha emergency meet.

We need to do something immediately about the Grey wolf hounds. ”

He laid back as he said.

I scoffed, ” You didn’t seem that eager when Ryan and I were pleading. Now that Tristan’s life was jeopardized, you want to jump into action. That’s so cool father, you really don’t hesitate to show your love for that Tristan anywhere. ”

I was standing with my arms folded and was about to leave.

” Where do you think you are going? You will be there at the meeting . As for Tristan, he is my future son in law and a very capable Alpha at that. Not only me, it’s high time, you started showering him with love and affection as well. ”

I knew he was mad at me for sneaking out in spite of his order but he didn’t have to do that to me like that. Some father he was.

I didn’t hesitate to make a face before striding off as I heard him hurling insults behind my back while praising Tristan so much, one would believe he was worshiping him.
