~Gale’s Dream~
Gale still had both of his eyes closed when he picked up a familiar scent, a familiar voice, and also a familiar temperature around him. He opened his eyes slowly and saw a beautiful lake with a giant tree at the other end.
The lake was big, and it was used as a communal bath for everyone in the Storm Pack except for Gale who had his own private spot in a grotto behind the waterfall which they used as their water source.
The giant tree across the lake was called the Tree of Life, where their ancestors carved a giant hole in the middle for protection for the cubs, elderly, and pregnant wolves in case the storm was too strong and dangerous for them. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Gale immediately noticed that he was inside the Storm Pack den, where everything was still intact, and he was still the young Alpha of the pack.
Nobody knew that a few days from now, the den would get raided by their enemies, and everyone except Jade would be massacred while Gale wasn’t in the den.
’This is just a dream,’ Gale assessed quickly.
He loved this beautiful scenery because it made him fantasize about the world where he didn’t fail his duty as the Alpha of Storm Pack. However, he wasn’t foolish enough to drown in a dream, as he had to accept the reality that his pack was gone.
This would be the first time after more than three decades that he dreamed of his pack again, and this time, everything was still perfectly intact.
’All of my previous dreams about Storm Pack become nightmares for me because my mind would always replay that moment where I see everyone laid on the ground, covered in blood,’ Gale thought.
"Gale! Gale!" Gale looked down, and saw a little girl with a pair of small wolf ears and a short tail, holding a flower. "Look, I got this from the Tree of Life! It’s almost autumn, so this must be the last flower of this year!"
Gale chuckled. He remembered this little girl. She was his distant relative as her mother was Gale’s cousin.
"Did you climb the tree again, Peony? It’s too dangerous for a little cub like you. I’ll tell your mother about this."
The little wolf girl called Peony looked scared and shook her head adamantly, "N-no! I get this from a young woman with bright golden hair!"
"A woman with bright golden hair?" Gale frowned. He had only known one woman with golden hair in his life, so he wanted to make sure. "Does she look thin?"
"Un! She is small for an adult. I never saw her around the pack, is she a new member? Or is she your mate?" Peony asked with a curious gaze. "Oh! Gale, if she’s your mate, you should tell us! We will hold a sacred wedding!"
"Where is she right now?!" Gale panicked. He didn’t know why Swan was in here. He didn’t want her to get hurt even though he knew this was just a dream. In this dream, everything would fall apart and everyone would get massacred in the end. Gale refused to see Swan become a victim of the same tragedy.
"She’s inside the Tree of Life. She gave this to me because she said this flower’s name is also Peony! Like me!"
Gale rushed as fast as he could towards the other side of the lake. He leaped from one rock in the middle of the lake onto another to get a shortcut until he reached the Tree of Life.
