Tala sat in her room waiting for the news from her father. She had been sent to her room earlier in the night to await until after her father’s meeting was finished. Tala was used to this sort of treatment. He was probably meeting with some people from the Night World. Tala was to be kept as far away from that world as possible. This was ridiculous as far as she was concerned. The Night World was a part of her, a part of everyone in her pack. Why was it that others were allowed to go out while she was meant to keep in? She had learned long ago not to question her father on this subject. He was quite strict and No meant no.
Walking slightly to glance outside, Tala wished to go for a run through the forest. Just to feel the night air on her skin would feel so good. She would see if Rafe would be able to come along. Rafe was Tala’s childhood friend, or rather, the only friend she had ever had. He was always able to convince her father to give her a tad bit more freedom as long as he was around. He was from a different pack and their fathers were good friends.
”Wanting to go out into the mystery of the Night World again, Tala?” Sighing slightly, Tala couldn’t help but smile. Speak of the devil… She turned and smiled at Rafe standing in her doorway. ”What are you doing here?” He didn’t answer right away. Instead the sly smile of his crossed his face as he made his way over to where her bed was before plopping down onto. ”Our father’s are discussing some issues so I thought I would come and see how you are doing.”
Tala appreciated this quite a bit. Whenever something was on her mind, Rafe would be there instantly to listen and she loved that about him. ”What are they discussing? My imprisonment being extended to well after I’m dead?” She kept her voice light and joking but there was some tough truth to it all.
”You know your dad is just trying to look out for you…what with the prophesy and all.”
Tala was the daughter of the Alpha of her pack, one of the highest rank packs in the werewolf community. She was an only child so it would only be natural that she would take charge once her father stepped down from the position. But there was one problem. No one knew of her existence. There were only a few choice people who knew that Tala was real, her parents, Rafe, Rafe’s parents and only a few choice others.
When Tala was born there was a prophesy given about what she was to accomplish. This one will have high hopes for the future, as she should. A bond will form, unbreakable by anyone but the ones involved. Should this bond be broken, it spells doom for her race. The instant her parents heard of this Tala was hidden from everyone. Her parents had decided that she would have to be raised carefully. The fate of her pack rested on her shoulders.
Hearing Rafe mention the prophesy just sent a chill up her spine. She knew that he didn’t mean to make her comfortable but she just couldn’t help feeling that way. She didn’t want to let anyone down and she would go to the ends of the world for her pack but being locked up wasn’t exactly a comfort.
”I know but-“ Before Tala had the chance to continue, there was a knock on her door. Turning around the instant she heard it, Tala felt nerves quickly fill her stomach as she looked at her father just standing there. Here it was. He was going to tell her that she was to stay out of sight longer
”Tala….Rafe.” He paused slightly which just made Tala all the more nervous. ”I just finished talking with Rafe’s father. And we’ve come to a decision.”Tala was seriously going to kill someone if her father didn’t just come out with it already. She already knew what he was going to say. He might as well just say it and be done.
”Tala, you and Rafe are to be married.” Just when Tala was ready to protest her dad’s sentence, she paused. ’What did he just say?’ It took her a moment to process this. Turning to look at Rafe, he had a small smile on his face. ’He knew?! How could he know and not tell me?’ She felt the need to just go and punch him in the arm when the realization hit her. She was going to marry Rafe. If that were to happen, then that would mean she would be helping join the two packs together. That would mean that she would help run things. It would mean she was free…
The smile that came onto her face just spread the more and more she thought of it. ”I’ll leave you two alone to discuss further.” And with that her father was gone. Tala couldn’t move she was basically frozen. The idea that she would be able to go out into the world with Rafe by her side was overwhelming.
”I’m hoping your silence means you’re happy and not that you dread this.” Rafe had moved from the bed over to where Tala was. She could see the concern in his eyes. She didn’t want to worry him. Even though he was her best friend, Tala didn’t feel weird about making it something more. If she would have the courage to admit it to herself, Tala had been harboring a crush on Rafe for a couple of years now. To her, she could think of no better person to be with.
Instead of answering him, Tala took the bit of courage she actually had and kissed him. Instantly, she felt sparks between the two of them. ’That’s all the sign I need to know this is right.’ She separated from him for a moment and smiled. ”So are you going to show me the wonders of the Night World.”
Rafe just smiled back at her. ”I’ll show you whatever you want.”
