He still ruled with an iron fist, something that still exists today but thews were different the modeled his park after theme set by hats, vak and order among his members. The pack was so used to a dictatorship that he was forced initially to be the very thing that he desputed time per <b>those </b>who refused the change and gave them the opportunity to leave he was able to turn the pack into one of the best ones to live <b>in</b><b>. </b>


    He had four boys and two girls but he ended up being the first alpha to pick which child would inherit the pack. Joseph ck<b>, </b>my great grandfather was Williams’s third born son and the only child that believed the same as him, that pack members should respect you not fear you Grandpa f?r wie a key yer in helping themittee form the council.


    Themittee spent a lot of time here finding out how his pack ran. There was a lot of unrest as themittee and the council tried to make life easier fo all werewolves no matter their rank or ability to progress in the pack.


    He was the first one to start taking in abused wolves that ran away from their packs. The first one to tell the difference between a trembled wolf and a wolf in trouble. This policy had the unfortunate consequence of making rogues believe the pack was weak and could be easily overthrown and we ended up in a war time era.


    It seemed that as soon as the pack fought off one threat another was around the corner. Actual packs that found out about how the freedom invement started often targeted us in the hope of going back to a dictatorship but we had allies by then. Eventually more packs wanted freedom than the dictatorship and the wars slowly stopped.


    By then, my father Allen, was the only child out of four that survived to inherit the pack. I was a young teenager, fighting on the front line during <b>the </bst battle. Patrick fought by my side until he was knocked unconscious. <b>I </b>stayed by him until reinforcements came. Once the fight for our borders was under control, I was able to check on him. When I found him alive I picked him up and ran him to the medical wing where they were able to stop his internal bleeding. He woke up two weekster.”


    I’m fully changed by the time I finish the story of my family and disappear into my bathroom. I go into the cab hanging over the sink and pull out <b>the </b>bottle of Ativan and Zofran. It’s been a long time <b>since </b>I’ve had such negative effects from the gift the moon goddess bestowed upon me. I know exactly what Madilyn is feeling as I run the cold water over my <b>wrists</b><b>, </b>leaning heavily over the sink. I start taking handfuls of water and sshing it on my face in a desperate fight to keep my dinner.


    I drop to my knees, grateful that I had shut the door behind me, quickly losing my battle of wills with my stomach. I <b>sit </b>on the floor, breathing heavily as I hear Lilly run from the room. I have no doubts that Madilyn <b>is </b>getting sick again even though there’s nothing left for her tiny body to give. I stand slowly knowing that getting up too fast could cause a dizzy spell and open the door, anticipating Lilly’s return with Madilyn.


    “Bring her in here so she can brush her teeth.” <b>I </b>speak <b>as </b>soon as Lilly steps inside.


    “I helped her do that while in her bathroom.”


    Lilly assures me as I start brushing my own. I grab the two bottles of medication from the counter once I’m finished and head out to my bed, sitting gently at the edge.


    “The reason I told you of my family’s history of changing this pack for the better is because ording to legend the moon goddess will reward those who do good deeds. It’s not a well known legend as I had to do a lot of digging just to find it when I was young but in finding it, I as well as my family, found


    eptance.”


    —


    “What legend is that?”


    “The origin of gifted wolves.”


    I


    pause a moment, wiping the tears from Madilyn’s <b>face</b>.


    “As I said before, legend has it that packs that strive to change and during the change, strive to do better by others, will be rewarded for their efforts. While growing up, I saw it more as <b>a </b>curse than a gift, but that too has changed over time. One of many gifts that can be bestowed upon an alpha rank is the gift of intuition. The ability to feel when another wolf pack member or not, is in need of help.”


    “Are you saying that you received this gift of infuition?”


    Lilly’s voice is hushed and I’m feeling guilty that <b>I’ve </b>never bothered to exin it to her.


    <b>“</b>Yes, I am an intuitive and I believe Madilyn is too.”
