Dream: Wolf Mother

Date: 12/4/2022

My title was Luna and that's all anyone knew me as. My partner, the alpha, had relinquished the clan to me early on as he learned fast he was unfit to lead and my clan learned fast that I could lead. We were warriors. Fast, clever, strong, and agile. We were extra talented when working in the shadows. The big thing with us though, we never instigated a fight. We usually just ended them. After all, we preferred peace. However, a new shifter clan… one that had been kept secret for so long… came out of the woodworks and attacked us. Slaughtering as many as they could. My Beta and his wife led me away from the chaos so that I may regroup with some of our allied clans… as well as protect some of the children. Currently we'd only found three on our way out. I felt like a coward for not staying in the fight but I understood his reasoning. So we ran. We slipped into the lake water near us, doing our best not to drown the three children who clung desperately to us, and used the water to camouflage our scent and presence as we swam to a safer edge. Months had gone by since then. A few more clan members had managed to get free and found their way to us through our mind link. One had a baby in her arms that was feverish. We saved the poor baby and the woman cried tears of joy. The three children that had been saved by me, my Beta, and his wife had all been orphans apparently. They were now calling me not only Luna but also Mother. Which was honestly something I was fine with since I had no children of my own. Two of the children were girls, named Howl and Fang respectively. The third was a boy named Nox. They'd been orphans since they were babies but had grown with the warrior training they needed for their age. Thank goodness. We had managed to call in favors from bordering shifter clans who also wished to stop this new tribe. A clan we all dubbed Ichor. The bordering clans kept contact with us by each leaving us one who could mind link to their clan. Through them we came up with a few coordinated plans to make sure we freed as many of our respective people as well as slaughter this tribe that dared attack us. Amidst this planning, the children were being trained by my Beta and the warriors from the other clans. We were combining fighting styles amongst us to be able to outmaneuver the Ichor. As we trained in fighting, we also prepared the healers with the herbs and materials they'd need. Weeks later and the night of our attack had finally arrived. I awoke after that.
