Chapter 2 Caoimhe in the Ethereals land

I stopped Vada from talking and we hid at the back of a huge tree. Some of the sentinels and hunters were there to investigate. I also saw my mom talking with the two elders of our pack.

"Wow, they made a huge mess here." Vada whispered to me and we were looking at the bent trees.  "They wanted a war against us. They don't respect the peace between our pack and their pack." I answered and Vada agreed with me.

We decided to go back when I felt someone was watching us. I stopped walking when I could smell an unfamiliar scent. I immediately transformed into my wolf form and ran in his direction. It was a boy and Vada was following me.

I saw an unfamiliar wolf running from me and two unfamiliar wolves appeared. I was furious while catching them, I could hear that they were teasing me for being slow. Really? I'm slow? I followed them until they entered their land, it was just a few steps to enter their land when someone stopped me and it made me toss towards a tree. My back bumped into the tree and it hurts a lot. I frowned and Vada ran towards me in her human form.

"I almost caught them if they didn't stop me." I told Vada and she was looking at my back. I heard someone clear her throat and I knew it was my mom. I looked at her and I could see her eyes screaming that I shouldn't do that.  "Go back to the main and we will talk later." Mom told me and I didn't have a choice so I went back to the main with Vada.  "I need to go home, Caoimhe! I'm sorry!" She told me when we reached the main. "Don't worry, it is not your fault." I told her and she walked away.

I went to our salutary to heal the wound from my back and when she saw my back, she just shook her head. I was upper naked while she was treating my back.

"Your mom is here! I heard Agnes say and I turned around to see my mom looking at me. "Can you give us some time to talk, Agnes?" Mom told our salutary and she immediately went out.  "I'm sorry!" I told my mom and she sat in the chair in front of me.  "You almost broke what was written on the agreement we had with Ethereal pack." Mom told me and I started to feel mad.  "I was catching their wolves who entered our land. They are the ones who started to break the agreement." I answered and mom immediately stood up.  "And you want to do that too, huh?" She asked me and I stopped.  "I told you many times to think first before taking action." She told me and I looked at the ground.

Mom was right, I always made the wrong decision. Agnes went inside again to heal my back. After being treated by our salutary, we went home and mom didn't talk to me. I went directly to my room and decided not to eat dinner. I slammed my face into my pillow and started crying. I was so careless, dang! Those Ethereals will rot in hell.

Morning came and I couldn't see my mom, maybe she was outside to fix what the Ethereals did. I ate alone and went to the center to watch the pubs train. Delta Hugo told me to help him train the omegas and pubs. I was teaching a young boy and that's when I noticed that he was the son of our Beta.

"You need to do this right!" I told him and he was seriously looking at me.  "Are you listening to me?" I asked him and he nodded his head. So weird!  "Are you the daughter of our Alpha?" He asked me and I nodded my head.  "What is your name, again?" I asked him and he offered his hands to me.  "I'm Maceo Colton!" He introduced himself and I accepted his hand.  "I'm Caoimhe Alvey!" I also introduced myself.

I finished teaching him some of the techniques that the late Delta taught me. I was walking back to our house when I felt someone watching me. I was looking around when I saw a shadow from the back of a tree. I didn't mind it all and started to walk again. I reached our house but I could still feel his presence.

"I need to do this!" I told myself and turned myself into my wolf form. I ran towards him and he started running away. We went inside the woods and I could see his colors. It was pure black! I stopped running when he entered their land, he also stopped running and looked at me.  "You can't enter our land but I can enter your land, weaklings!" He said after he turned into his wolf form. I forced myself to remember his appearance.  "Thank you for showing yourself." I told him and smirked at him. I ran towards our home and luckily I saw my mom cooking our dinner.

I immediately went to her and she looked surprised when she saw me.

"What's happening, young lady?" She asked me and I just drank water before talking.  "I saw his face, mom!" I told her and she looked confused.  "Face? Who?" She asked me again.  "The intruder." I answered and she took a deep breath.  "I warned you that you shouldn't intervene with the operations of the hunters and sentinels." Mom told me and I shook my head.  "I didn't but the intruder was watching me from afar so I followed him and he went to their lands. He came from the Ethereal pack and he even teased me for being weakling." I told my mom and she was seriously listening to me.  "Okay, describe to me what he looks like." Mom told me and I told her what he looked like.  "Black fur?" Mom asked me and I nodded my head. That's what I saw earlier and it was so clear to me.  "I will tell that to the Ethereals." Mom answered and I went to my room.

I was relieved because I helped my mom find that intruder. I will catch him if I see him wandering on our land again.

The next day came and I saw my mom preparing something. I went to her when the two elders came inside our house.

"You will go there alone?" Elder Tima asked mom and mom nodded her head. "That's dangerous! You should bring some hunters with you." Elder Mako said and I immediately went to them. "Where are you going, mom?" I asked my mother and she looked at me. "I'm going to the Ethereals to talk to them." She answered and I shook my head. "Then bring me with you, mom!" I told her but she just smiled at me and patted my head. "I'm fine alone, young lady!" She answered and started walking towards the main door. "But---

I was trying to hold her arm but she faced me with a smile. What did she want to do? This was suicide! I don't want her to go there alone, I will follow her and no one can stop me. I didn't stop her and I just watched her get inside the car.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with your mom?" Elder Mako asked me and I shook my head. "She will just get mad at me if I follow her." I answered and the elder smiled at me.

My mom's car went away and the two elders went to their home. I grabbed my cap and headed to my bike. I started biking toward the border, I saw some of the sentinels and they were patrolling the area. I climbed on the tree to hide and when they passed where I was hiding, I immediately entered the land of Ethereals.

I hid my bike so I could use it later because I didn't want to be caught while I was in my wolf form. I was walking carefully until I reached their mainland, I saw my mom's car and it was parked outside of a huge hall.

I heard noises and they came from two boys talking to each other. I hid again so they couldn't see me.

"You smell that?" One of them said and they started sniffing around. Gosh! They could smell me? They were walking near me and I was holding my breath. "What are you doing here? A guest was here to visit so all of you are not allowed here." A familiar figure appeared and I was sure that it was him who entered our land. I was going to confront him when someone stopped me. I started to defend myself but he was too strong for me. "Fine! Let me go!" I told him but he just stared at me. "You are an intruder!" He said and I shook my head. "No, I am not!" I lied and he scanned me from head to toe. "Nah! You can't trick me. Why are you here?" He asked me but I was thinking about how I could escape from him. My plan was not to be caught but here I am, I couldn't move because of this guy holding both of my arms.

He brought me to a dark room and I immediately freaked out, I need to go home now and anytime my mom will go home. She shouldn't know that I entered the land of the Ethereals.

"Hey! Look at me!" I told the boy but he was busy choosing a rope to tie me. "I need to go home now so please let me leave." I told him but he just looked at me. "You are an intruder and I guess that you are also a spy on our land. Who instructed you to be here? Those silver furs?" He asked me and he even mentioned our pack's name. "So what if I am from that pack, huh?" I asked him and he looked at me intensely. "You are confessing now." He said and he walked towards me. He untied me and grabbed my arm. We went out of that room and started walking towards the huge hall. My mom's car was still there. We entered the huge hall and all their eyes went on us--- or should I say, on me. "Caiomhe? What are you doing here?" My mom asked me and they looked at me. "So, you are the alpha's daughter of those silver furs." The boy whispered to me. He pushed me towards the center and I immediately went to my mom. "Mom!" I called my mother and I was holding my tears so they couldn't see me as a weak daughter of an alpha. "Why did you follow me here? You break our rules!" She whispered to me and I knew what I did was wrong. "It's fine, Wanda! Our son was also at fault for entering your land. Maybe we are even now?" An old man said and my mom nodded her head at him. "Yeah, sure! But I still want to apologize for what my daughter did. I am sorry!" My mom said and she even bowed her head at him. "We are sorry too, Wanda! But if you are willing to accept our offer you can go here again and talk about it." The old man said and mom smiled at him. "I will think about it, we need to go now." Mom said and the old man let us leave.

While mom was driving back home, she was silent and I was guilty of what I did.

"Mom, I'm sorry!" I told her and she cleared her throat. "It's fine, we are even now." She answered and we entered our land. The sentinels greeted us as we entered our land. "That was Alpha Qadir, he was known for being violent and I don't want you to go back there." She said and she stopped the car in front of our home. "Yes, mom!" I said and one thing came to my mind. I left my bike on the border and it was the Ethereal's land. Dang! I needed to get my bike back.
