The Moon and The Ocean novel Chapter 22

TWO DAYS AGO…

Zeus was sitting on his office chair, swinging on it left and right. He had sent a few wolves from his pack to find out why Moon was suffering. But till now, no luck. He had called a few witches into his pack house. He wanted to do everything to pull Moon out of the pain. But he knew nothing about it.

Zeus heard a knock on the door. He looked up and found his beta, Daniel standing. Zeus signalled him to come in. Daniel came in and knelt down on the ground.

Beta Daniel: All the witches have done whatever they could, Alpha Zeus. They couldn't find anything.

Beta Daniel informed Alpha Zeus with a shaky voice.

Alpha Zeus: Then why are they here? They all are useless.

Zeus roared in anger. He stood up and threw the paper weight on the LED screen of his office. Shredded pieces of the LED were on the ground. Beta Daniel got scared but didn't stand up. He knew disrespecting his Alpha would lead him to his grave. Or worst, Alpha Zeus would disown him and he would be nothing but an abandoned dog.

Zeus ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. It had been so long and he wanted a way to help his baby brother.

Beta Daniel: If you ask me Alpha, I know someone who could lead us somewhere. You can get answers there. I kept looking for a better way.

Alpha Zeus: Who?

Alpha Zeus asked in a firm voice.

Beta Daniel: My uncle Xanta knows someone who can help you, Alpha. My uncle will take us there.

Alpha Zeus: Then let's go and meet your uncle.

Zeus said and went to the door. Beta Daniel followed him behind. They hopped into Alpha Zeus' truck and drove off. On their way to beta Daniel's uncle, he called his uncle and told him that Alpha Zeus needed his help. Xanta was more than happy to help his Alpha. It was once in a lifetime opportunity. They stopped the truck in front of Xanta's house, he hopped in and they started their journey towards an unknown territory. Xanta gave directions to Alpha Zeus. Alpha Zeus was very shocked to know that he never knew anything about that part of his territory.

Alpha Zeus stopped the truck in front of an old but beautiful small cabin in the middle of the forest. He never had visited this part of the forest ever before. Alpha Zeus knocked at the door. In a few minutes, a very beautiful old woman opened the door. She smiled seeing Zeus in her territory.

Vivian: I read it this morning, today is my lucky day. I didn't know Alpha Zeus would be visiting me. Come on in Alpha.

Vivian said with a wide smile. She led Zeus into the cabin and made him sit on one of the couches.

Vivian: What would you like to have Alpha?

She asked Zeus. He shook his head.

Alpha Zeus: I am not here to have anything. I want some answers and I have heard you can give me.

Vivian: Depends on the questions you are here to ask Alpha. Sometimes, we are bound not to answer. But still I will try my best to lead you towards them.

Alpha Zeus: Who are you? How do you know my name? And how do you even live here?

Vivian: My name is Vivian. I know you since you were born, Alpha. Your mother is a really good friend of mine. And I live here because it's my territory.
