It was a sunny afternoon, after the usual pack meeting. The Silvermoon pack members were going about their normal day to day activities. Just like the usual days, Alpha Salvador and his Luna, Emerald were seated outside, enjoying the cold breeze. Their twins had gone out on a walk with his Beta who was also a good friend of his. The Luna rested her back on the armchair, smiling beautifully. "Salvador" she called
"Yes beauty"
"I still can't believe it over five years now, since we've been together". She sat up slowly. "I can still remember how they rejected me in the first place. You know been a witch mated to a werewolf wasn't easy"
He smiled and held her hand. "But we fought hard to be together and we conquered"
"Yes we did. And the twins are the result of our success. Did you remember when the twins were born?"
He smiled."It's a day I'll never forget. Watching them sleep peacefully, gave me peace of mind"
She smiled. "Holding my bundles of joy was a dream come true. What gave me joy the most is that they were born special"
He nodded in agreement. "Born special in deed". The conversation continued for a while, as both were happy. Their beautiful moment was ruined when a guard rushed to them, informing them about the invasion of the Munar pack, known for their brutality.
"How many lives lost?" The Alpha asked
"Over a hundred armies" the guard replied
"Get the children and old ones to the cave now!!" The Luna ordered. The guard rushed to do as he was told. "How did they succeed in breaking my shield?. I think something is wrong somewhere" she paced around angrily
"Emerald, You should calm down" the Alpha said.
"I can't clam down. I can't" she yelled. There's no way she will calm down. Not with the things happening now. Not with the lives of their pack members in danger. The lives she had safeguarded for some years now.
"Guards!!!" The Alpha called. Four guards rushed forward and kneel. He pointed at one of the guards. "Yel, call me the head guard". The guards left, leaving just three. "Mark, go find the Beta. I've been trying to mind link him but it isn't working. Let him know there is danger and make sure the twins are safe"
Mark bowed. "Yes Alpha"
"Go now!" Mark stood up and left. "Gayle, go to the Beta's house, get his wife and kids to a safe place"
"Yes Alpha". Gayle left and the head guard rushed in
"Alpha, they are getting closer. We can't hold them any longer!!"
The Alpha sighed. "We will have to fight back. Get the armies ready. We are marching to war!!"
"Yes Alpha" the head guard left leaving the last guard kneeling
The Alpha turned to face him. "Miller, take the Luna to a safe place"
"No way. We're going together" Emerald yelled
"Eme love. This fight is a matter of lives and death. You have to stay safe for me and for the twins"
"No Sal. You know I can help. The twins will be safe. Your Beta will keep them safe. Let me go with you. Let me guard our pack please" she pleaded
"Eme......."
"Please". He sigh. "I'll keep them distracted while you get the armies ready" she said. Before he could say a word, she vanished into thin air.
"Miller, you know you're my most trusted guard. Take this, go into hiding. Don't show your face. If you see we're loosing the battle, go to the Maddox Pack and ask for help. Hand over this to them, they know what to do" He stretched a gold bracelet to him. "Go!!"
"No Alpha. I want to fight side by side with you. I want to guard you with my life"
"Miller, it's a command, go now!!"
Miller had no choice but to leave. "Please be safe Alpha". The Alpha nodded and Miller left. He sigh. It's time to guard and protect his pack

The Luna appeared just a few metres away from the border. After some enchantment, she realised the shield was weak. "How could a shield which has guided them for over ten years, suddenly gets weak and harbour their enemies without giving her a sign? Not even a little?" She thought
She could see more of their enemies trooping in, as more lives were been wasted. Being a witch, and a powerful one at that, it wasn't hard for her to strengthen the already weak shield. She succeeded. Having succeeded, she joined in the battle. Swords clashed, throat were slaughtered, lives were wasted. But luck was on their sides. Victory was becoming theirs and they have the hope that they will conquer.
At the end of the battle, they won or so they thought. Having killed so many of their enemies, they sang and danced, jubilating their success. The children and old ones taken to the cave were returned back to the pack. It was a happy moment for every member of the park. But their happiness will soon be cut short, as a greater misfortune, which will end not just lives but bring an end to the Silvermoon pack for life is about to befall them!!.
