Alpha's Rogue Luna

A violent snowstorm tears its way across the mostly coniferous, heavily forested landscape, generating what may be described as a "white out." The relentless barrage of snow and sleet that has descended upon the area has reduced visibility to almost nothing, and a violent, howling, deafening wind has whipped up, practically silencing everything else. Being a werewolf has some advantages, however; she has heightened senses and strong, natural tracking instincts. These qualities make venturing out during a storm not impossible, but certainly challenging. In any case, she doesn't have much of a say in the issue.

Gamma Darius's third-ranked daughter, twelve-year-old Amanda Tyler, is on patrol in the woods with her pack, the Moonbeams. As a Gamma, it seems sense that Amanda would want to attend the Defensive Security Detail's pre-training sessions, which function similarly to a military academies program. She-wolves in the Defensive Security Detail are uncommon; those who apply are subjected to intense scrutiny and must pass a battery of difficult tests and barriers before even being considered for the training program. The bottom line is that she-wolves have to earn the right to train as official members of the Defensive Security Detail before they can even try. Amanda still has to overcome the hardships imposed on her by her trainers despite the fact that her father is the pack's Chief of Security. As a result, Amanda is, in her words, "forced to" endure this suckass assignment and do as she says.

As the blizzard continues to rage, Amanda painstakingly makes her way through nearly three feet of snow that has already fallen, slogging her way through a wooded clump of trees until emerging from a stand... Upon across a little clearing with a rundown cabin sitting in the middle. Already, the blustery weather has chafed and rawed her nostrils... Amanda's nose is always running and ice crystals are accumulating around her nostrils, but she detects the faint scent of another wolf. Then, Amanda hears the faint, barely discernible, what sounds like the crying of a tiny kid coming from the dilapidated building, despite the roaring wind reverberating in her ear canals.

When she gets closer, her heightened senses kick in and the smell and the cries grow more pronounced. And once inside, Amanda sees a dark creature hunched in a corner, shivering constantly. When she sees the four-year-old she-wolf shivering in the cold, she runs over and kneels down next to her. Apparently deserted... since there were no traces of other inhabitants... The child's appearance is unsanitary; he or she is dressed in many layers of soiled, smelly garments that are in poor repair. She seems uninterested in life and, judging by the hollowness of her face, is dangerously close to death from malnutrition.

Amanda carefully carries the weak child home, abandoning the rest of the patrol in favor of the child and her own family. which, given the special circumstances, she felt quite justified in carrying out. Amanda had to beg and plead with her parents
