Roxanne was once again out of the warm and comfortable wooden cottage and walked the snowy
path with Rita who walked excitedly, nearly bouncing as she moved.
“So, where do I start?” She asked, half talking to herself.
With a new form of clarity, Roxanne looked around her and observed the village. The houses were
not too many, but not very few either. She could spot over 30 houses, and she was sure there were
others she couldn’t see. Just how many people lived here? She had no idea.
“You’re wondering how many of us are here, aren’t you?” Rita asked with a knowing look.
“A-Actually I am… How did you…” Roxanne said, unnerved by the fact that Rita actually knew
what she was thinking.
“We’re well over a hundred and fifty adults in our clan, you know? The kids are also close to fifty,
counting the adults and adolescents, we have a population of 251 people. It’s quite a large amount,
isn’t it?” Rita asked with a gleam.
“Well…” Roxanne muttered to herself.
Well, where she came from, they were way more than that. In the big cities, even more were to be
counted, in hundreds of thousands. Having a few hundred being called a large amount seemed like a
joke to Roxanne, but somehow it made sense.
“I guess werewolves are quite few, generally speaking. If there were many, I guess we humans
would have discovered their existence by now.” She reasoned.
“I don’t see a lot of men and old people around though” Roxanne mentioned, noticing mostly
women and children around the houses.
“Oh, that’s right,” Rita said, looking around her as well.
“The men are out, either hunting or performing their various roles. I should tell you now, since you’ll
eventually come to learn of it. Our society has various classes of people and their responsibilities in
society.
Roxanne wasn’t surprised. For a village such as this to exist deep in the woods, and still look so
peaceful and orderly, there had to be some form of system in place which worked for them.
“Really? Mind filling me in?” Roxanne asked.
“See, Roxanne… In the werewolf community, we have a hierarchical system. And it is based on
this hierarchy that rules are distributed.” Rita started off.
“You already know of the Alpha and Beta, the leaders and assistant leader in the pack. But there
are other positions which exist, synonymous to their roles.”
Rita took her time to explain the structure of the pack to Roxanne, who actually paid rapt attention,
realising that she might need the information later on when she eventually decided to escape.
According to Rita’s really long and detailed explanation, the roles within the pack goes thus;
The Leader: Occupied by the Alpha of the pack. The leader of the Rockwood pack is Asher, and
he holds the highest position.
Also, in tandem, the leader of the entire Oregon Tribe is the Grand Alpha, also known as the Wolf
King. The Beta is the assistant leader, second in command to the Alpha. This position is held by Dax,
Rita’s mate.
Mother: The queen of the pack, also known as Luna. She is the wife of the Aloha, and must
oversee the pack like another would her children. This was the position to be filled by Roxanne, and
after hearing of the role, she would rather eat leather.
The wife of the leader of the tribe is known as the Grand Luna. However, the most interesting part
of the discourse was when Rita revealed that the Beta female is the assistant to Luna.
“When you finally ‘bond’ with Asher, it looks like I’ll be your subordinate,” Rita said teasingly.
Roxanne gave a wry smile and hindered at the thought, rejecting the idea in her head a thousand
times over. Rita continued and further down the list they had…
Warriors: Warriors are the fighting force and backbones of the pack. They consist of the elite unit
of able adult pack members, known to be the best combatants. They are headed by the Gamma, the
chief warrior.
