Alpha's Second Chance by Salani

MADELEINE

I was looking in the books about my powers and felt Lily somewhere in the back of my head.

The pack had changed, like a life source had been taken from everyone, and it had. There had to be something I could do, and I don't know what. I thought of Dad, and these powers had run in my family for many generations. Maybe he would know. I picked up my phone and called him.

"Madeleine, hello sweetheart," Dad says, he must have seen my number on his phone.

"Hello, Dad, can I ask you something?" I ask.

"Yes, of course you can." He answers.

I have been reading about my powers in the books. It says several times that nature is a lifeform. And I can wake dead trees and plants." I begin and pause.

"I know what you're asking, and I expected that you would wonder about this. For us, wolves, nature is important. It's where we live from birth to death. And then we get reborn."

"But the Moon goodness," I say.

"The moon goddess created us, yes, but not without knowing we had places where we could live and be what we are," Dad says, and I am not entirely sure I understand.

"Dad, has anyone ever brought someone back from the dead?" I ask, and he gets very quiet.

"Dad?" I ask when he doesn't say anything.
