"Alison, wake up, Alison, Alison!" "Stop, you're awake," I said resignedly, and I looked at him and saw him smiling triumphantly. I grabbed him and put him on the bed and started tickling him. The sound of his laughter filled my room as he tried to ask me to stop. "Now you will learn not to wake me up again." I told him, laughing too. "I... I give up..." he said with difficulty between his laughter. "Okay, now tell me who I am." I stopped tickling him and waited for his answer. "Alison," he replied. The wrong answer attacked him again. "You two stop playing and go downstairs; the food is ready," said Zack's mother, Megan, as she entered the room and looked at us. I took a shower, got dressed, which was a gym outfit, and went downstairs to the dining table. "Good morning," I said. "Good morning," my brother Austin answered and looked at me, or rather at my clothes. "Alison again??? You know today is a day off," he told me. "I don't have a day off," I replied, sitting next to him and Zack. "Okay, do whatever you want." He sighed as he continued eating his food. "How do you say you and I go shopping today?" Megan asked me, trying to calm the electrifying atmosphere between us. "Sorry, Megan, you know I don't like shopping that much." I apologized to her before kissing Zack's cheek and standing up."I am going now.""Can you at least come back early?" Austin said to look at him."I'll try, my brother," I replied and headed outside.My name is Allison, and I am 20 years old. My family members are my brother Austin and his girlfriend Megan and their son Zack. My brother is the alpha of the White Crescent flock. My father was the alpha, but when he and my mother died, my brother took his position.We as werewolves live in the world with humans, but we live in a herd and a community of our own.There are many supernatural creatures that live in this world without the knowledge of humans, such as werewolves, vampires, witches, and others, and there is a council that facilitates the involvement of these creatures in life like ordinary humans.There are many werewolf herds, and all of them have their own space and the number of their members who belong to them. To conduct operations, the herds, or those responsible for them, i.e., the alpha, create projects in the human world so that werewolves can work there and earn their living, but their home always remains in their herd, and they follow the orders of the alpha.Each herd has its own area and boundaries, and if a werewolf crosses the boundaries of a herd that is not his herd without permission, then he is among the dead, especially rogues. I hate them very much."Good morning, Mr. Willen. Isn't today a holiday?" I asked the person responsible for the security of the training room."I know I just came to give you the keys; the alpha told me you were coming." He answered me as he gave me the keys. I smiled softly at my brother thinking of me."Thank you, and I apologize for that.""It's okay, no problem, I'll go now," he replied, disappearing, and I opened the room in the center.In every herd there are major things, i.e., you find them in any herd.The first: the herd house, which includes the members of the herd. It is large and consists of rooms, a kitchen, and many facilities such as a library... Sometimes individuals prefer to build houses independent of the herd's house, and the officials agree, provided that the house is on the land of the herd.Second: The center is where the offices of the alpha, the beta, the gamma, and the commander of the warriors are located. These are the ones responsible for managing the herd. There are also training rooms for the warriors and guards.Third: The Herd Hospital Because our nature is different from humans, we cannot go to their hospitals, so they will know that there is something abnormal, so there is in every herd a hospital for werewolves.In addition to the alpha house, it is usually separated from the herd house as my house. There is no large distance between all the facilities, and they are not close either. The larger the land area, the larger the number of facilities and a little farther.You must be wondering about studying. We all went to school with humans, and the majority of werewolves do not complete university. When we graduate from high school, we can find any job we want or see ourselves as good at it in the herd or in one of the projects abroad.I walked into the room, took off my jacket, and started the thing I had been doing for a while: training. I'm a warrior, or at least the deputy commander-in-chief. I got my position after many trainings and with my own effort, but now I keep running away from my family and my entire surroundings by doing this, so my brother was angry.I started doing some warm-ups before I started my training every day. I felt tired and lay on the floor. I heard the door closing and smelled my brother Austin approaching me. I lay down and saw him sitting next to me. We continued our silence.Allison spoke after a while."Yes," I replied."How long are you going to keep doing this?? You know it wasn't your fault," he told me to sit and look at him. 3"I just know..." I held my hand, trying to find the right word."It hurts?" He told me to nod at him."It's just more than painful, as if the period of my mother and father's death has come back to me; the same pain and my inability to do anything is still the same.""Don't say that, Alison. I always tell you that my mom and dad's death was predestined, and you were just a child. You weren't helpless; you were a child, and I'm glad you're alive.""But I wasn't a child that day. I was old, and I was a fighter, but I couldn't save him," I told him."Alison, you can't save everyone, and you shouldn't. Just to point out, he's the one who broke my orders. I told him not to go near the border until others came, and he didn't, and worse, I almost lost you if we hadn't arrived in time.""He was just trying to do something to protect his flock from the Rogues." "I know, Alison, but it's been two months and you're like this; you get up and you come here and you don't come back until the middle of the night, and you don't do anything.""I'm sorry, I'm starting to hate the death of everyone close to me at the hands of the Rogues, so I want to make myself stronger." "You're really strong, Alison. Do I remind you how you take down our warriors even though they're huge and you're so small?""Don't worry, brother, I'll try; I'll try to get back to myself.""Yes, and to help you, I have made procedures for you.""What procedures?""Put on your jacket, and let's go home. I'll tell you on the way." He told me to stand up and grab my jacket. We left the room and from the center to close it and start heading home."What procedures?" I asked him again."Tomorrow you will go to the Red Moon Flock for a month." He answered me to stop walking and look at him, waiting for him to tell me that he was joking or something. "What? Where did this come from?" "Well, I still don't understand why I should go.""Because that will make you stop thinking about anything and make you change from your current bad style, and also I advise you to accept or do your thing as an alpha." I hate him when he talks with that look."Okay, I agree," I replied with a smile."Good, I think you will have fun there. Since when have you not seen Andrew?" "Six months ago" "It's so good you can see him and spend some time with him.""I don't want to spend time with him, and he has a girlfriend to spend time with if I forgot," I answered him, smiling."But you, like his little sister, will take care of you." He answered me. "
Allison's POV"But you, like his little sister, will take care of you." He answered me, Let's go into the house. I went to the kitchen and found my food was there."Thank you, Megan," sent to her via telepathy.She replied, She must be making Zack sleep., I finished my food and went to my room, grabbed my bag to collect my clothes.Andrew is my cousin; my mother is the sister of his father, who was the home of the Red Moon Flock, and Andrew took his position. He used to come here from time to time to visit us, and he was always like a brother to me.The Red Moon Flock I've never been, but I know a lot about him and his Alpha. It's a herd far from ours by four hours or more by driving, and also they have a large land area and more people. The thing that made them bigger is because of the Alpha, William. His parents died at the age of , and as the only heir, he took his father's position.But when the other herds heard about this, they tried to take advantage of it and take his herd, thinking that only a 16-year-old boy would be able to do anything, but they were wrong. One can attack that herd or even think of approaching it. Fortunately, our herd is on good terms with it, and since the betta is a cousin, that is easy.I closed my bag and put it on the floor before I showered and fell asleep.Allison's POVI locked the trunk when I put my bag in and went to say goodbye to my brother and Megan, and Zack went to school."Then I have to go; it takes hours.""Know, drive carefully, and if you encounter any difficulty, contact me immediately, and also I hope that you will not cause any problems there, as you know that the alpha there does not give second chances.""Are you saying I'm a troublemaker?""No, my little sister is an angel; don't make any trouble." He answered me, making us laugh before I hugged him."Goodbye, Alison," Megan said while hugging me.I got in my car and waved at them before I started on my way. Maybe it wouldn't be bad to get a little bit out of here and from the pain here.A couple of months ago, one of the guys younger than me that I was training was walking in the frontier and noticed that there were Rogs and Rogs. On that day, he saw a number of them in our area and immediately reported it to my brother and through all of our telepathy.I was a little close to the border, and when I heard that, I ran to him because I knew he would attack them even if the Alpha ordered him not to do so. I ran quickly to find them; they caught him. I started attacking with all my strength, but they killed him and tried to kill me too. At that moment my brother and the warriors came and killed them. I could erase the image of the moment of his death from my mind and only distracted myself in training.That's why I hate the Rogues; they killed my mom and dad in front of my eyes, and now they're still killing the people in my life.After driving for four hours, I stopped in front of the entrance to the herd, which had a large door, and one of the guards was advancing."The name?" he asked me."Allison," I answered him to search his papers before he signaled to the guards and they opened the door for me. I entered through the gate and stopped in an area where cars are parked like a parking lot. I got out of the car and opened my trunk to take out my bag."Do you need help, beautiful lady?" I smiled at the voice I knew before turning around."No, thank you, sir," I replied."Come here, I miss you." He opened his arms to hug him."How are you, Andrew?" I asked my cousin."Good, what about you?""Okay," I replied, so we could part from our lap."Then let's go." I grabbed my bag, parked my car, and walked in front of him."So how is Adele?" I asked about his girlfriend."She's excited that you'll be with us since I told her, and she's just talking about you," he said, smiling. We walked toward the road, and I began to watch my surroundings. There were several houses scattered about, and it was like a small town."There is the herd house." Andrew pointed to the large house at the end of the road."On that side is the hospital," he pointed to the right side."Now let's go to my house." We walked in front of a medium-sized house, and it was beautiful. He opened the door so that his girlfriend, Adele, jumped up and hugged me."Alison, how are you?""Good, and you, Adele?""I'm good too. You don't know how excited I am for you to come; I'm really happy.""Thank you, Adele."She's a nice person. No, she's not my girlfriend. I'm someone who doesn't make friends, and also I prefer being alone, so we can say that Adele is a member of my family."Come on, let's go in and eat. I've made your favorite food. I called Megan and asked her," she said as she pushed me home."You really shouldn't have done that, Adele," I told her."You don't have to be tactful with me, Alison; I love doing this," she answered, looking at Andrew."I told you she is very excited." I smiled, and we sat down at the table, and we began to eat, and after I finished, I asked to wash the dishes, but Adele refused, and so I went with Andrew to show me my room."Here is your room." We entered the room, and Andrew put my bag on the floor."Then tell me," I told him."What?""Rules! What should I do, what should I not do, and so on?" He laughed at my question."There is no such thing as 'I know you are doing well,' and you are not a child to tell you that."So when do I start training???"Wait a minute. You'll start tomorrow, not today. It's been half a day anyway, and Austin has told me what happened, and I know that's the reason you came here.""Yes, that's what happened." I said to him, looking at me worriedly."Are you well?""Andrew, I'm really fine; don't worry. I think being here will help me.""I hope so, but if you want to talk or anything, I'm here," he told me."I know, thank you, Andrew.""Why are you getting smarter? Is it because you're twenty years old?" He told me, "Let's laugh together," before he went out and lay down on the bed. Since I wouldn't do anything today, I could sleep.
The next morning Allison's POVI had breakfast with Andrew and Adele before Andrew and I left for training."Alison, the structure of our flock is a little different from your flock. Here we have two centers, one for training and one with offices, and both are a little further away from each other.""I understand." We headed towards one of the buildings and entered the opening of one of the large rooms, or it was like a hall that contained much sports equipment, and there were a number of people training."Okay, let me introduce this Finn, who is the captain of the warriors, and this is the vice-leader of the White Crescent Flock, Alison." Andrew introduced me to a burly man who reached out to me to extend my hand to him as well and shake his hand."Nice to meet you, Mr. Finn." I told him."Me too, Miss Alison.""Just Alison," I said, beckoning to me."Then where am I going to put Alison under your care from now on?""Don't worry," he replied."Alison, I'll be sitting there," he gestured to the chairs."I know, but I just want to see first if you get along with everyone.""Why? Aren't you going to work in your sixth home? The beta is busy," I told him."You're worried that someone might do something?""Sort of. I don't want your brother to come and chop off my head if something bad happens to you." "Come on, Andrew, go to work. Didn't you say I wasn't a child?""Yes, but you will still be a child to me and your brother." "Till when??""Maybe until you meet your mate." Companion? Another sensitive topic for me. I watched him as he headed to one of the chairs before Finn pointed out to a group of warriors to gather in front of him. I can tell that it is one age group."Alison, it's the 16-year-old," he explained to me, while everyone stood in front of him, waiting for his orders, about people."You mean the category that will switch soon?""Yes, you are right. They were all created in the same month, and after this month they will complete their conversion age.""I understand that's why they need to train more. What about their school?""Don't worry, their daily program has been prepared to match their school and training as well." "OK""Then from today until thirty days, Alison will train you; she belongs to the herd of the White Crescent. I expect you to respect and do your best.""Then Allison, I'm going to the other training. Here are the methods we use in our training, and if you need anything, you can just ask me," Finn said to me."Okay, thank you." I replied to go.I quickly looked at the papers and found that they were almost the same as our methods. I looked up at the people who had become my students."Hello, as Mr. Finn introduced you, my name is Allison, and from today onwards I am your coach. Any question about me you can ask now before we start our training." I looked at them to find a young man raising his hand and putting a side smile on his face. "Help yourself.""I just have a question: how are you going to train us? I don't mean to offend, but you look too young to be a coach. Coaches are more than their students, and they can beat them." "So what do you want us to do?" I asked him, and I know what he means."You can fight me," said "Okay, then go ahead." I agreed to move forward. I put my things on the floor and stood facing him. "What's your name?" I asked him.Jack answered me to take a fighting position, but I stood in my place, advanced quickly, and began to attack, and in every attack I avoided with ease, I noticed that he was starting to get angry, and I attacked him at this moment and put my leg behind his leg and pressed one of his shoulders to make his balance upset and fall."You're dead," I told him, and I pinned him to the ground and stood up to see everyone looking in amazement. "Well, first lesson for you: never, ever underestimate the strength of your opponent, whatever his appearance or gender. Understandable?" I said in my voice, which made it more rough. "Yes." They answered me with one voice."Well, uh, Jack, for your information. We are trained, not because we can beat our students, but because we have gained and tested many things that you don't know yet, and we are trying to teach you. Is that clear?" I told him as I extended my hand to him to help him get up from the ground, "Hold my hand and stand up.""Concept of my coach." He replied, lowering his head respectfully and smiling. Respect for werewolves is earned by your actions. I knew such a situation would happen."Then start the warm-ups for ten minutes, which starts from now," I yelled for their warm-ups to start. I felt like something was staring at me. I turned to see Andrew; of course he's still here. I forgot about it.I walked over to him and found him smiling a big smile."I'm proud of you; you're really grown up," he said while hugging me. "Then can you go to work now?" "Yes, I'm going now. We'll meet in the evening. Can you come back alone?""Okay, I see you can; I'm going." I watched him walk out of the hall to go back to my training. We lasted for three hours before stopping for lunch."Come with me, I'll show you the cafeteria; it's in the herd's house. We eat there," Finn told me. "Okay, thank you." We left the station to go to the herd house.We entered and went to the dining hall, and there was a buffet. I grabbed a tray and started taking my food. When I finished, I started looking for an empty place. I found an empty table far from overcrowded. I went to take it and started eating my food until I found someone sitting across from me."Hello, I'm Sam, and I'm also a coach. I've seen you before with the Beta Andrew, and I've seen you in the center too, and I like your courage.""Hi, I'm Alison." I replied to finish my meal. I ignore it. I don't like making friends, and I don't think about changing that yet."Then what herd are you from?" he asked, and here we are."White Crescent Flock""Do you have a boyfriend? I don't think so, because you don't have a tag, so you must have a boyfriend.""Then I conclude from your silence that there is no one." He said, smiling as if he had heard the news of his success. "Yes, and I'm thinking of making it as long as possible," I replied, his smile falling down. "Okay then, I'll let you finish your meal, but let me just tell you that I'm not giving up," he said, picking up his plate and going. I looked at Finn, who was sitting at the table across from me with some other people who must have overheard our conversation."Don't worry about him; his personality is like that, even though you did a good job by keeping him away." Finn told me to nod. I finished my food and decided to take a walk around.
