“Ummm…” Lanie hummed, biting her bottom lip with a thoughtful expression on her face.
“It had to have been two, maybe three years before we escaped,” Lexie replied.
“Richard, I don’t understand. I’ve never heard of a Jade Wolf before,” Luna Rylee stated.
“They’re not as rare as you may believe, Luna. Rare, but not as much as you, or even the girls here. Jade wolves are born more frequently than our kind realizes,” Richard responded. “What makes them so special?” Brent asked.
“Jade wolves are able to shift when they are infants. Most are born in their wolf form,” Beta Jackson answered.
“What?!” I exclaimed. “Are you saying that they’re born like … a… puppy?” I asked to make sure I understood correctly.
“Not exactly, my dear boy. Jade wolves are born in wolf form, but not in a sack, like a dog would give birth. Their births are very unique because although they are in wolf form, they are born naturally the same way a human gives birth, with the umbilical cord attached to the belly button. As soon as a Jade Wolf pup feels the presence of their parents, they immediately shift back into their infant form,” Jackson explained.
“What do Jade Wolves look like? I mean, if Marvin was told that Xavier’s daughter was a Jade Wolf, he would have needed proof,” Luna Rylee pointed out.
“Yes, Luna, you are indeed correct. The biggest proof of verification is the fact that a Jade Wolf can shift even as a child because they are born with their wolf spirit. Not like the rest of us who gain our wolves when we become of age at 18. Additionally, the name Jade Wolf isn’t just called that for no reason. They are called that because they are in a Jade Wolf. They are jade-green with green and silver eyes.”
“WHAT!?” we all exclaimed.
“How the hell can there be a green wolf?” Brent asked.
“It’s not as far-fetched as you may think,” Lune Rylee said to us. We all looked at her. “As you two may already have figured out, I’m not a normal wolf.” Brent and I just nodded, Beta Jackson c****d his head. Luna Rylee took a deep breath and looked over at Mr. Rossi who only nodded as well. “I am what the Elders call a Primordial. A special wolf that is only born to two pureblooded Alphas every two to three hundred years. I am also the last female born, and in my case, that was important because I had to fulfill some kind of prophecy.”
“The vampire attack last year,” I said, to which she just nodded.
“Lorenzo here is also a Primordial. He’s my forefather. It’s hard to explain because Lorenzo never had children of his own. As I already stated, our kind can only be born to two pureblooded Alphas. We’re blessed with abilities by the moon goddess and the other elders of the supernatural.”
“That explains the freaky super speed and strength we saw back at Blue Lake,” Brent said.
“In addition to enhanced werewolf capabilities, Rylee and I have other powers. Telepathy, telekinesis, the ability to control the mind of you and your wolf, premonition, and the power to control Earth’s elements. Rylee is blessed with the power of regeneration,” Mr. Rossi further explained.
“You know Victor’s mate, Dianna?” the Luna asked Brent directly.
“Yeah.”
“She was originally a vampire. Turned by the blood-sucking monster that I killed. When I abandoned my pack, Olivia had given me a new identity, and I actually looked like Dianna.”
“Wait, Luna? Are you saying that girl I saw when I went to go get Killian for the first time… the brunette?” I exclaimed.
“Yeah… That was me in disguise.”
“Then who was the person who looked like you!?”
“A clone that a dark witch created for Wyatt because he is an idiot.” I didn’t have anything to say to that. I looked over at Beta Jackson who was just as confused as I was. When I glanced at Richard, he just shook his head. He knew all of this already. “Anyway, that’s beside the point. My point is, Jennifer, being a green-colored wolf isn’t so crazy. And I say this because my wolf used to be pink.”
“PINK!?!” we all shouted.
“You said used to be, Luna? What color is she now?” Beta Jackson asked.
“She’s light blue.”
“I didn’t know a wolf could change colors,” I brought up.
“In normal cases, they don’t,” Mr. Rossi said, catching my attention. “But in Rylee’s case, she was part of a long foreseen prophecy and when her wolf matured to her full powers and abilities, her color changed. At first, we believed it was due to the disguise Olivia had placed on her when she turned into Megan. However, after further research, that wasn’t the case.
“Also, my understanding is that the Jade Wolf isn’t actually green,” Olivia said, tapping her chin. “The last Jade Wolf I ever saw was more of black with a green hue to his fur. When light touched it at a specific angle. It is not uncommon to mistake the Jade Wolf as being green due to this factor.”
“Okay, all of this is great information, and I’m obviously learning a lot right now, but how do we find Xavier’s daughter while keeping our mates safe?” Brent asked.
“Mates? So, have the girls accepted the two of you?” Richard asked excitedly.
“Well … Uh…” I looked over at Lanie who was looking off to the side, ignoring me. “That’s yet to be determined, sir.”
“Lexie and I talked it over. We’re not at that point yet, but we did agree to take things slow,” Brent answered.
“Luna? I thought you said that you were going to speak with them?” Richard asked her.
“I did, Richard. But you, more than anyone in this office, should know that the mate bond should never be forced. At least the girls aren’t going to flat out reject them. They’re taking things slow. Brent is a newborn, Lexie and Lanie are still learning to be wolves while trying to figure out who they are as individuals separate from being werewolves. They were given mates in a whole other pack the same time the person who made their lives living nightmares showed up at my pack territory faking an invitation to the Alpha’s meeting. This weekend has been difficult for everyone, even you. Don’t sit there and berate me for not forcing the girls to accept their mates. I said I would speak to them to get them to understand. I never once said that I would force the bond on them.” Luna Rylee was really frustrated at Richard’s insinuation that she didn’t do anything to help Brent and me.
“You’re right, I apologize Luna. I guess my old age is making me senile. But we have to decide what we are going to do come Monday evening. Jackson and I have to announce our retirement and name Chad my successor, and Brent as Jackson’s,” Richard said looking at me.
“Richard, we can still make the announcements. They just need to pick a Gamma, and they can decide what to do about announcing that they have mates or not. The Luna is correct, we cannot force these young ladies to accept them,” Jackson said putting his hand on Richard’s shoulder. “Old friend, you and I both know that the pack will be in good hands with Chad and Brent in charge.”
“You are correct Jackson, as always. I always knew I did right by making you my Beta,” Richard replied with a smile.
“Sir, while we’re on the topic of leadership in the pack,” I began to say and grabbed his attention. “I think I know who I want my Gamma to be.”
“YOU WANT ME TO WHAT!?!” Maverick, our head guard exclaimed when I announced that I wanted him to be the Gamma and run the pack alongside Brent and me.
“I think Mav is a fine choice, Chad. He’ll make a great Gamma,” Jasper, our previous Gamma stated. When I made my decision, I had Richard mind link both of them to come to the office. We asked that the Luna and the girls go back to my mother’s place and wait for us there, while Mr. Rossi and Olivia were being shown to their guest room in the packhouse by an Omega. It wasn’t because we were trying to get rid of them, the reason being we didn’t want to explain everything to Maverick right away. He was someone I knew could be trusted with the girls’ secret. The Luna stated that she really doesn’t care who knows about her at this point and had no issues with me telling Maverick who she was when the time was right.
“I … I… I …” Maverick stuttered. Brent and I smirked at just how caught off-guard he was by the news. “Why!?”
