" They do have different looks about them?" Samuel said looking at six wolves running around the small enclosure. Three of which who first exited their cages were daring and started inspecting each other first before focusing more on the surroundings.
The other three were meek especially one of them that looked kind of sick," Is something wrong with that one?"
" I don't think so. They were checked for everything just few hours ago at the holding facility near the harbour. I wouldn't risk bringing diseases here, that could mess up my whole plan." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
" So you are basically saying that there will be more of them in the future?"
" Maybe but for now, these six would suffice. There look at that one." Peter pointed toward a specific grey wolf that seemed to be staring at them.
" That's probably the leader. I asked about the one that captured them, they said it's a misconception in wolf lore to have alpha, beta or omega type. There may be some instances of the strongest male being the alpha but that didn't happen much in the wild. The test the theory was based on was done on domesticated wolves and over the years became the norm for many movies and entertainment.
Usually the oldest would take care of the pack but here most of them are same age." Peter elaborated.
" So why do you say that ones the leader?"
" Can't you tell the way she is looking at us? Others are also keeping their distance from her seemingly to give her some space to assess their environment."
Samuel nodded, it looked like his Uncle did his due diligence before going on this endeavour. It made him think that the whole idea wasn't that pointless after all.
" With you living quite close to their territory, I am sure you will be able to hear them howling. Do you know their howls could be heard for about six or seven miles distance? Isn't that cool!?"
" What the hell? They often howl to communicate, that means I will have wolf howl as my background music?" Samuel felt a bit wronged for ever giving praise to him!
" Don't worry you will get used to it. For now, lets began the naming ceremony!" Peter said enthusiastically because he had came up with a sea of names just for this moment.
" That's easy, the female that you called the leader could be named Luna, the most timid one could be named after Darius the third."
" Who is that? That's a odd naming choice." Even people standing behind them were confused. Darius was a rare name but 'third' what seemed strange to them.
" Don't you know about he biggest coward in history? He fought Alexander when he was in his twenties. Despite having bigger army he decided to run away from the battlefield on two seperate event.
That wouldn't have been uncommon if he just feared his enemies but then again, if you run away from a battle so quickly that you forget to take your mother, your daughters and your pregnant wife, you probably deserve the title biggest coward in history."
" Now you are just showing off but somehow it fits him when I look at him." Peter agreed. Darius, the wolf was timid, tucking his tail behind his legs, he just hunched back in farthest corner while looking around at his new environment. Even the other two wolves that were scared at first were walking around inspecting everything!
" For the next one-"
" Hold it there boy! You getting two names is enough, I didn't even want to give you that but since you are my nephew I gave you these leeway. Leave the others for me!" Peter stopped him in his tracks. Samuel shrugged and let him come up with names for others.
Peter went on a long ramble listing off names, seventy percent of them were instantly rejected by Samuel and other people because they sounded like warrior names which definitely didn't fit the wolves image.
In the end, the other two females were named, Sage because of her darkest fur and Nova, just because other names were bad. What appeared to be strongest male was named, Titan and the other one was named, Night the darkest among the males.
" Great, let's release them." Peter commanded and someone pushed the button to open the compartment which connected the enclosure to the forest.
Samuel felt the wolves were much calm after they saw the sky except for Darius. He thought it was over when Luna who had the whitest fur daringly walked toward him. Other wolves that were about to exit also came running behind her.
She came few feet apart from the fence and stared at Samuel for a moment. He could simultaneously feel her curious intent and literally see it in her eyes. It seemed understandable because his powers attracted animals.
" She seems to like you." Peter commented. With this many people around, normally they would have ran away.
" I don't know but I should try to send her away." Samuel stepped forward and continued," Go on Luna. This is your new home, you can run around to your heart's content." He decided to go with few encouraging words.
Luna continued staring for another moment before lifting her head up to howl violently. Everyone became alarmed for a second but then they saw her turn tail and run through the exit. They honestly thought, she was ready to go on a rampage but fortunately that didn't happen.
" That was scary." Someone exclaimed.
" What's scary about a bunch of wolves? If it were lions than I can understand it. I alone will be enough to handle a pack of wolves like this." Peter seemed awfully proud of it.
" Stop boasting. A pack of dogs would be enough to take you down! I bet they would happily gulp you down seeing you look like a stuffed turkey with your clothes off." Samuel made a snide remark.
" Hahahaha, that's so true." Everyone began laughing because there was some truth to that! Unlike Samuel's lean physique, Peter was on the side of large body builders!
" Stop laughing you bastard! Meet me in the ring at night! I will teach you why a stuffed turkey is still better than some chickens!"
They started bantering while watching wolves dance around the forest. Luna watched Samuel from the distance before leading her pack inside the dense forest. Everyone hung around for an hour before getting busy with their work.
The cages needed to be cleaned up and transported back to the harbour. There was also a need for guards to patrol the area one more time because the real predators entered the sanctuary for the first time, they needed to be alert for first few days.
Samuel also drove back home, it was already getting late as sun was going down leaving the golden hue in it's path. Right at that moment, he got an alert on his phone about the delivery of dresses.
" They really work quick huh? I hope Kate has woken up by now." He thought while dialing her number. He didn't expect her to pick up the phone after few rings," Hello, this is-"
" I know. Do you expect me to forget about your voice so soon?" Kate replied.
" I don't know if you saved my number or not."
" Don't worry it's the first thing I did when I woke up."
" About that, you were pretty tired when I left. I didn't expect you to wake up this soon."
" I don't know for some reason, I feel full of life but I can't say the same thing about Bella. She has been cursing you after....you know...your failed attempt." Samuel felt a little bad hearing her say it.
He went a little rough in the heat of the moment. She just looked so enamored and sexy at that time which was why he couldn't help himself. Thankfully, he stopped or else he would have made her cry with agony!
" I will apologize to her tomorrow night. You know our promise right?"
" About the movie premier? I did say yes but do you think it's right for you to take me? I am just saying I don't like to make things uncomfortable between us."
" What do you mean?" Samuel didn't catch what she was trying to imply.
" I mean, I heard that you have a lot of other girls. I read online that they are in hundreds, I can't possibly take everyone on by myself. If they are about same size as Bella, I could give it a chance."
" hahahaha." Samuel couldn't help but burst out laughing. His life had became a big conspiracy, with each passing day the rumours had exaggerated to the point of no return!
" I am not joking! I still value my life!" Kate was a little embarrassed but she told him what was in her heart.
" Don't worry about anything."
*Ring* Suddenly her doorbell rang and they both heard it.
" Just answer the door and tell me if you like it or not. I took it upon myself to deliver few goodies for the evening."
" What?"
" I will pick you up at six alright?"
" Wait-" Samuel hung up the phone. In this way she wouldn't be able to deny his gift. He had full trust in the delivery man because he specifically told the manager to send someone convincing enough that Kate wouldn't be able to turn him away!
