Chapter 24: Chapter 24

**Cassie’s POV**

After visiting my father's house and hearing about his idea, I spent the rest of my day thinking about the lesson for the new pack warriors.

I know that my old mentor will be proud of me. Finally, I can teach his technique and fighting stance to the new pack warriors. I cannot put into words how excited I am right now.

Even Kaiden noticed my constant smiling. I know that there is no way he would not discover this little sneaky activity that I am planning, but I am not putting my life at stake, so I guess he has no right to stop me from doing this. I am so bored doing all this lady-type work, and I know it is part of me being the Luna of the pack, and I hate to say that it bored me to death. I felt sorry for that.

"Babe, what's with your mood? It seems like you are happy; did something happen that I did not know?" He asked me with his curious stare too.

I shrugged my shoulders and gave him a meaningful smile. Not the weird type, though.

"None, I am just happy, that's all," I said to him while eating my mashed potato. If there is only one type of plant-based food he will eat without whining like a brat, it is potatoes.

"Still weird, babe," he pointed out.

"Hash, you are being dramatic again. There is nothing weird about having a nice day. Anyway, how is your meeting with the other leaders?" It's time to ask him.

He drank his glass of wine in one shot before answering me straight. "The suggestion is awesome. I never thought that witches could help us," he stated, which gave me a little bit of shock.

"Witch? Are you all serious about it? I know that not all witches are as bad as we thought, but that does not erase their evil reputation. Witchcraft and sorcery can backfire on us if we trust them so much," I said.

Honestly, I never met a witch or sorcerer directly. Aside from that, they are very secretive types of beings. They are also rare to see at our location. They are mostly residing in dead forests or dark types of forests; some also reside in dark dimensions.

He shook his head and gave me a reassuring smile. "This witch is the mate of Ceron Pack; I assure you that she is trustworthy," he mentioned. Now that I think about it, it may be possible. But how?

How can she help us?"

Kaiden took something out of his pocket and handed me a piece of paper. There is weird text and symbols written in a circular motion. And as I touched it, I suddenly felt electricity—very powerful energy.

My eyes widened as I realized what it was.

"A magic circle made from protective runes" I am impressed.

"Right! With this, I can assure you that this territory, at least where we inhabit it, is perfectly protected." That is something to celebrate!

"That is great news! At least we can mitigate some risk now. But there are a lot of things to do still, but we should not be down by it; I know that things will slowly get better and better."

Tonight we sleep without doing something naughty; I also have to rest. Though we wanted to have pups now, we are not being blessed at this moment.

The next day, I could see that the snow was slowly melting on the ground and even on those trees. People are more outside now. I even look forward to a beautiful spring, where everything comes to life again after a dreadful winter.

We are now back hunting on our usual hunting grounds. It feels amazing, by the way.

And because the weather is fine, my dad decided to call all of the newly found pack warriors. Around age 18 and above. Of course, it is a voluntary action, but even then, there are lots of them wanting to be part of our pack warriors because, for us, it is an honor to serve our territory, our high ground.

There are about fifty new faces that I can see; there are also women. Of course, there is no such thing as discrimination here, as long as they are not underage.

"Dad, they do not look the best for this role, but I can see that they can improve; it will take time, but adding members of our current warriors is the best decision we can ever think of and do," I said to him.

He nodded. "I know; that is why I give you this responsibility."

I guess they do not need to build some muscles. Their body structure looks good anyway; they look so awesome. Of course, werewolves are creatures that have a physique that is suitable to survive in the wild. Great muscles for reflexes and strength. We cannot be predators without it.

The only people we discourage from being part of pack warriors are omegas. Those are the types of werewolves that are weaker in terms of strength, which is what is required to be a pack warrior.

Omega may be weaker in terms of their strength than normal werewolves, but most of them are born intelligent and capable. So that they are working on the backline.

"Attention!" I took all of their focus by clapping my hands loudly to stay away from being distracted.

"Today, I am not just your Luna. I will be your instructor. I will be the one taking the opportunity to unlock all the potential you all have! This is not a game, not a joke, but a huge responsibility. If you do not have the heart of a warrior, step out of this field and go home. This is a cruel path, so step aside if you have a weak heart."

As I expected, no one walked away. It only means that they at least know what their destiny will be.
