The witchcraft forest

Two days later the long awaited day for Alpha Gabriel had reached, he took off to the forest by midnight, without making a noise as he departed, upon reaching the witchcraft forest, the gates opened by itself this triggered Alpha Gabriel to fear for his life, but he overcame the fear as an Alpha.

As Alpha Gabriel went deeper into the forest the atmosphere was changing fast, the old and ancient trees appears to be communicating historical secrets, and the air surrounding Alpha Gabriel is filled with a strong, noticeable sense of mystery. Alpha Gabriel was highly alert as he saw uneasy signs, and he had a persistent sensation that someone is observing him.

Breeze started blowing heavily Gabriel chuckled as he knew this breeze was unusual, he heard a noise at his back, as he turned back he was stunned to see his name "Alpha Gabriel Rivers You're welcome" boldly on the gate.

He was a little bit frightened, but he didn't show his fears on his face, as he had to keep his calm and boldness as an Alpha, this seemed to him as his first official confrontation, voices began singing sweet melodies but they sounded uneasy in Alpha Gabriel ears, he remembered the lyrics of the music that was being sang, he had read it in the book. He kept moving according to the book the song was sang before an attack happened.

Alpha Gabriel was ready to go fist to fist with anyone or any creature, an enchanted stick struck him from the back, he pulled it out and kept walking, a voice said, "the answers you seek seems far but are closer than you think",and we have long waited for this day our whole life, we have lunged waited for your blood too my boy. Alpha Gabriel chuckled and replied in anger and desperation "show yourself you coward"

Two big leopard struck at Alpha Gabriel, he dodge it, his claws came out as sharp as tungsten Nano needle, and eyes changed to gold, Alpha Gabriel ribbed of the leopard skin with his claws and teeth's, he refused turning into a full transformed warewolf as he would have problems changing back to his human form. He successfully killed the leopard and didn't sustain any injury, his claws, eyes and tooth all went back. He knelt down weak, he rose then a path was formed for him to follow he was confused if it was a trap he tried using his warewolf eye strength but was too weak to.

He followed the path for one kilometer, a video of Elena and Lucas smooching appeared in his front, Alpha Gabriel was confused and turned to hunt Alpha Lucas then he remembered what he had read in the book, that not all things you see is real some are to divert your focus from your goals. He kept moving forward and partially ignoring what his eyes saw. It video appeared once more, this time around Gabriel jealousy was very obvious.

Gabriel mistakenly stepped on a mat which took him of his foot, and head first on the floor he was rushed by a snake which he cut into several pieces, unknown to Alpha Gabriel this wasn't real but adventures.

He reached the forest coven but wasn't allowed inside as they were special days for everyone especially someone who possess a power of an Alpha.

Alpha Gabriel turned his back to leave he was attacked by a lion that eventually torn his skin, Alpha Gabriel transformed fully into a warewolf and fought back, after 20 minutes of claws and teeth's fight, Alpha Gabriel triumphed, and turned back to human form, completely naked.

He left to his house with leaves wrapped up around him, he cleaned and attended to his wounds, his journey had proven useless and waste of his time and energy, he sat outdoor after his clean up, thinking of his obligations, he asked himself how long would he be leading the pack to battles as he had seen blood, he never imagined he could actually defeat a lion all alone, and he was in complete doubt a member of his pack could defeat a lion in a square one on one battle. He thought of all this as he didn't wanna loose any members of his pack, as they were just subjects but friends to him.

Alpha Gabriel was lost in thoughts as he didn't seem to know this special day that was assigned for him to go seek for his aaanswers in the witchcraft forest. He held himself tight as the image of him being attacked kept displaying on his mind, he couldn't control them, as they kept coming back like they were haunting him, he almost screamed out loud but held his mouth with his left hand tightly.

At this moment his biggest burden was his position as the Alpha he didn't want to break people heart and let his pack down by abandoning the position, on the other thought the position seemed to have caused him more harm than good. He love what he cherished and valued the most which is Elena the love of his life, who he couldn't bear seeing her with Lucas or anyone, Alpha Gabriel kept hating himself for the action he took, for the rejecting Elena, this was a burden he was gonna live with if he doesn't make things right. He look at his deep wounds which he knew would be healed in no time, he wanted to cherish the bitter moment as it was just the beginning of his leadership.

Alpha Gabriel asked himself "what if it's all a lie, I mean the creatures in the forest, what if they were all adventures", as I read in the book. Gabriel had chosen to extend his search beyond the limits of the witchcraft forest, Gabriel thinks that comprehending his history and making amends with Elena could involve looking at not just the past but also the present and future. But it seemed Lucas had a conspiracy with what happened in the forest.
