Chapter 16


    “The Smith family is acknowledged for their pitch-ck wolves. But when Bridget became of age


    and shifted for the first time at 14. Her wolf was not ck but white,” Perez exined.


    ‘’All white? “ my dad asked. Perez nodded his head. They looked at each other like they both


    share a secret.


    “What?” I asked.


    “We’ll exin thatter. However, when Bridget shifted her father was enraged. He believed her


    mom had an affair and that Bridget was not his. He punished them both very harshly. Soon her


    mother turned to her too, ming Bridget for the treatment. The older she got, the worse it got and


    when she turned 17, her father began to beat her. And the Beta... he started harassing her at night,”


    He whispered thatst part.


    “I tried my best to inter between her, her father and the Beta. But when her brother joined in, I


    couldn’t stand it anymore. I informed the Alpha what he was doing was once wrong. I asked him to


    let me take Bridget away and he would by no means have to see her again.”


    “You did?” A voice came from behind us. We all turn to see Bridget wrapped in a nket and


    standing at her door.


    Perez stood up, “I did child. But he refused me and called me a traitor before he then banished me


    and my household from the pack.” He takes a few steps toward her. Sheughed and dropped the


    nket before running into his arms.


    “Oh, Gamma Perez, I missed you,” She said as she hugged him and buried her face in his


    shoulder.


    “I missed you too little rabbit,” He said kissing the top of her head.


    “What''s with all the animal nicknames?” Liam asked.


    “It was the first animal she ever killed while hunting,” Perez giggled.


    Sheughed and looked up at him. This is the first time I’ve seen herugh like that. It breaks my


    heart that it is not for me. Danie walked over to Bridget.


    “Bridget, let’s go and take a look at your injuries,” Danie led Bridget to the bedroom and into her


    bathroom.


    “I did not know that she would survive. I can not count how many times I picked her off the ground


    or took her to the clinic. I thought I would never see her again,” Perez says.


    “I am aware of that Lucas. But she’s right here now,” My dad said as he ce his hand on


    Lucas’shoulder.


    “Did you know?” I ask my dad. “Son, it was a hard situation. When Perez came here, he told me


    about her. But at the time, we had been already in a conflict with Silver Moon Pack. I didn’t have the


    assets to start a war,”  my dad exined. He looked guilty. I’m indignant but I understand. He’s


    right.


    “Wait, I’ve in not seen an all-white wolf before. That’s umon. Right!?,” Liam asked.


    “What?,” I asked. “It is rare. In truth, she’s the only one,” my dad said.


    “How do you know?” I asked. “Because it’s a hero,” He answered. “What do you mean?” We all


    take a seat again.


    “Well, history has it that a pure white wolf will be born and the wolf will preserve power and their


    pack will benefit from this power. They will rule over all packs and they will be one Or so the legend


    said,” Perez exined.


    “ Why I have not heard of this before?” I asked. “Because it’s the oldest legend I know. People


    stopped speaking about it. They stopped believing it is true. Many are not aware of it. Obviously,


    Johnson wasn''t aware of what he had,” my dad exined.


    “Strength? What type of strength?” Liam asked.


    “I do not know because human beings stopped speaking about it. Los of the information about it


    has been lost,” My father exined.


    “You guys, I think it’s time for us to go. Let everybody rest and we can learn more during dinner


    this week,” Danie said as she closed the door quietly.


    “Alpha,” Perez stood up and addressed me. “As a Gamma, I would like to provide protection to the


    future Luna and I vow to guard her till my final breath,” Perez says to me.


    “I approve your vow of protection but she wants to as well,” I say nodding to her room. “I will call to


    check up on her in the next few days. But I will be standing guard outdoors in the meantime,” Perez


    said.

    “Son, if you need anything, call. Your mother wants you over for dinner soon but I will try to hold


    her off,” my dad said and pats my shoulder.


    “William, we are downstairs if you need us,” Liam said and they all walked out of the room.


    I copsed on the couch as I thought about the whole thing that has happened today. I get up to


    take a look at Bridget. When I opened the door, she is asleep in the bed. Just as I was about to shut


    the door, I heard, “William.”


    *** Bridget''s P.O.V ***


    “William,” I said. He stopped and stepped closer to me.


    “What is it, sweetheart?” He whispered. “Do you want a ss of water?” My throat hurts so I


    nodded.


    “Okay,  I’ll be right back,” He left and then returned with a ss of water. I take a few sips and


    returned down. He then turned to leave.


    “William,” I called.


    “Yes?,” He looked back.


    “Can you stay with me for some time? I feel calmer when you’re around.” I am too embarrassed to


    make eye contact with him. “Of course, I will,”  He said to my amusement.


    He moved to the other facet of the bed and walked slowly under the bedcovers beforeying down


    by my side.


    “Is this good enough?” He asked. I nodded as I scoot closer to him and wey like that for a


    minute.


    “Oh,e here,”  He said as he pulled me closer and Iy my head on his chest.


    “Is this better?” he asked. Yes, it is I felt the peaceful ambiencee over me. I nodded my head


    and he ced his hands around my waist. It took some time before I started dozing.
