The Enforcer Elites are a tight-knit group of mostly men who protect pack laws and packs from planned Wilde attacks. They get tattoos every time they fail and a pack falls. Packs have an insignia that represents them, which is what is tattooed on the enforcers. Enforcer Elites are immune to the flower all werewolves saw as a weakness, De Luna Venenum or the moon orchid. It comes in four stages, an assortment of warnings. First, the vomiting comes in. Second, comes the seizure spells including fainting afterwards. Third, bleeding from the ears and eyes, sometimes coughing up of blood. Finally, Death. If all signs are ignored then death comes knocking in about ten hours.

Any dormant wolf or 'null' are shipped off to a certain compound to train to be an Enforcer. All wolves were used, none of the wolves were useless not even Omegas. Omegas weren't used as slaves, they were trained to be assassins since usually omegas are smaller in stature than a regular pack wolf. In the Nineteenth century, wolves were far more barbaric. Protect packs, plunder pack lands, remove female mates from their original packs by force. The Enforcers were never out of jobs, there were always stupid leaders or cocky wildes. Wildes are a packless wolf, their most distinct trait is their scent. They smell of wild, untamed nature.

There aren't any humans, they got themselves wiped out pretty quickly and the werewolves took over. Werewolves are basically immortal unless killed by beheading or being injected with more than 10ml of any moon orchid secretions. Their healing process is almost instant unless pumped with the tiniest drops of the moon orchid.

In an Enforcer's compound is a girl with brown hair and piercing green eyes, she's a bit different considering she's one of the four females in the Enforcer Elites, and she's closer to her wolf than a 'null', but she doesn't shift so she is still considered one. This girl's name is Amaranth Titanis.

Wake up early, bathe quickly, begin training, take a lunch break, train some more, bathe the sweat of the day away, sleep, and repeat. The schedule for an Enforcer Elite was the same every day. These wolves were considered the soldiers for wars because that's who would be sent to the front line. There were never days off, and when assigned to protect a pack they were ordered to record their training.

Amaranth was on the mats in the training compound sparring with her father, Darren. Lucas, the second-in-command and one of Amaranth's best friends, walks up to the both of them motioning for them to stop.

“Benjamin needs to see you, Mr. Titanis,” Lucas says sharply standing with perfect posture.

Darren rolls his eyes, “I told you to call me Darren, Lucas.”

Amaranth crosses her arms watching the interaction, Darren brushes his pants off and walks, more like skips, away from the two and out the training compound door. Benjamin is the Enforcer's Leader and when you were summoned you always immediately went to his office. No one ever knows what happens if you're late because no one ever was, that man was scary.

Lucas Bane, who is tall, built, and at least twice Amaranth's size takes Darren's position on the mats and gets in a fighting position. They stare at each other calculating one another's movements. They begin circling each other before Amaranth fakes a left and grabs his right wrist and flips him over her onto his back. Amaranth smirks triumphantly. Lucas growls lowly before sweeping his leg and kicking her legs from underneath her. She falls to the ground with a loud thud, momentarily knocking the wind out of her. There's a loud snort followed by snickering making Lucas jerk his head in its direction momentarily distracting him. Amaranth takes this chance and pins him.

“Come on, You're the second-in-command, Lucas does not lose focus so easily,” Amaranth says chuckling.

“You two cheated, you got Joe to distract me,” Lucas says offended.

“Now Now, Lucas don't blame your mistakes on others,” Joe says mockingly.

Joe, a tall, curvy, olive-skinned brunette, who happens to be one of the other females in the Enforcers, slides out from behind one of the pillars that are lined up a few feet away from the walls. She walks over to Amaranth and pulls her up onto her feet before giving her a high five. She happens to be Amaranth's other best friend.

Amaranth turns and offers Lucas a hand. Lucas brushes her hand aside and grumbles getting up. Darren strides into the compound a few minutes later pumping his elbows and a bounce in his step. Amaranth sighs face palming.

“If I didn't know that middle-aged man was your father, Amaranth, I'd think him to be another teenager,” Joe says smothering laughter.

Lucas smirks covering his mouth with his hand.

“What's so funny?" Darren asks cheerfully.

"Dad, you're like Thirty-five, not eighteen,” Amaranth says exasperatedly.

Darren waves the comment off, “Nonsense I feel eighteen and that's all that-.”

Darren is suddenly interrupted by a loud war cry and being tackled to the floor. He hits the floor with a groan and loud cackling follows.

“Haha! Still feel eighteen, you hoe?” a feminine voice shouts.

Joe bursts into laughter along with Lucas, while Amaranth drags her hand down her face.

“Mom, What the hell?” Amaranth asks looking embarrassed.

Her mother, Gwen, another female in the Enforcers, chuckles before getting up and helping Darren up.

“I think you hurt my back, honey,” Darren grumbles rubbing his back.

Meanwhile, Joe is still laughing, “That was priceless,” She exclaims through laughter.

Gwen just smirks before dramatically flipping her hair.

“I see where Mara gets her flair from,” Lucas mutters amusedly using Amaranth's nickname.

Amaranth punches him in the shoulder, causing him to chuckle.

“Don't make me actually kick your ass this time,” Amaranth warns, glaring at him.

Darren interrupts them, “Oh yeah, Mara, boss needs to see you and Joe.”

Amaranth straightens her shoulders all amusement gone. She grabs a coughing Joe and drags her by her arm out of the compound.

“See ya, Mr. and Mrs. T,” Joe exclaims flailing her arm in a wave.

When Amaranth and Joe enter Benjamin's office they are both composed.

“Amaranth. Josephine. Please, take a seat,”Benjamin says stoically motioning towards the two armchairs seated in front of his desk.

Joe grumbles at the use of her full name before Amaranth elbow her in the side and sits down.

“You needed to see us, sir?” Amaranth asks politely, sitting with her hands folded in her lap. Joe just flops unceremoniously into the chair next to hers.

“Indeed”, he types on his keyboard for about a minute before taping enter and Turing towards the girls, “does the name Hades Jerrico, or Remus Hunter sound familiar?,” Benjamin asks interlacing his fingers folding them on top of his desk.

Amaranth tenses at the second name, “There's activity on Remus' side?!”

Benjamin motions for her to be silent before nodding slowly.

“We've turned a blind eye for far too long, Remus has successfully taken over 8 packs and resources tell me he's going after a small pack called Midmoon next,” Benjamin sets his lips in a thin line, “I'm putting the both of you on this assignment, you leave in the morning.”

The girls nod again and get up to leave.

“Oh and Amaranth?,” Amaranth turns back towards Benjamin, who is smiling, “I heard you kicked my second's ass, well done.”

Amaranth once more before leaving.

Amaranth checks the time before heading towards the Lunch Hall.

“Grub time,” Joe says rubbing her hands together. Amaranth chuckles and shakes her head.

When they get their food, they look for Lucas and sit down. Lucas looks at Amaranth's plate pointedly seeing it piled with fried chicken.

“What? Fried chicken is my trigger word,” Amaranth says before grabbing a leg. Lucas shakes his head chuckling.

“So, What did Benjamin need?” Lucas asks.

“Another assignment,” Amaranth mutters.

“Oh and he did congratulate her on kicking your ass, and he smiled!” Joe exclaims in disbelief.

“Wait... He smiled?!” Lucas asks shocked, ignoring the fact his boss basically insulted him.

Joe nods. Suddenly something is dumped onto Joe's lap.

“Hey, Watch it-” Joe suddenly tenses.

“Oh, I'm so sorry Lesbo,” a snarky, high pitched voice says with a fake apologetic tone.

Joe looks down at her lap ashamed.

“Pathetic fag,” the voice snaps before snickering.

There's a sudden slam. Amaranth had gotten up so fast her chair hit the floor. The sudden noise catches everyone's attention.

“Mara, Don't,” Joe pleads quietly.

Lucas stands slowly, “Stella, I highly suggest you shut your mouth and walk away.”

Stella is the fourth and final female in the Enforcer Elites and is the weakest there, but happens to be the leader's daughter.

Lucas turns his gaze to Amaranth who is gritting her teeth.

Stella winks flirtatiously at him, to which he crinkles his nose in disgust.

“Are you going to make me, pretty boy?” Stella asks tilting her head.

Amaranth cracks her neck.

“If he won't, I sure as hell will,” Amaranth says through clenched teeth.

Stella throws her head back and laughs, “No one asked the freak.”

Amaranth growls in response.

“News flash, you can't touch me. The boss is my daddy,” Stella whispers close to Amaranths ear.

Amaranth's eyes flash bright green before Lucas grabs her by the shoulders and pins her hands behind her back.

“Mara calm down,” Lucas orders harshly.

Amaranth's parents walk in during this chaos. They see Stella smirking and standing in front of a thrashing Amaranth and a struggling Lucas. Gwen swears under her breath before rushing over to them.

“Amaranth, honey, you need to calm down,” Gwen says soothingly, hands on either side of her face.

Darren rushes over as well, a hard glare on his face. He turns to Stella, “You stupid whore, you should know she's closer to her wolf than any of us here.”

Stella rolls her eyes before walking away while checking her nails.

“Amaranth Leandra Titanis,” Darren says in a tone that makes her freeze. Her eyes transition back and she collapses in Lucas's arms.

“She was calling Joe names and making fun of her sexuality,” Amaranth mutters gritting her teeth.

Joe walks over and grips Amaranth by her shoulders.

“I'm fine, words won't hurt me,” Joe says weakly. Amaranth nods slowly.

“She gets this from her mother,”Darren mutters.

“Oh don't you start, you douche,” Gwen says glaring at him jokingly.

Lucas coughs to hide his laughter. They all sit down and relax for the rest of the break before they had to go back to training.

After training, Amaranth leaves the training compound and heads to the sleeping quarters. They split the girls and the guys, unless they're married or family. Each room has two king-sized beds and two closest with connected bathrooms.

Amaranth showers and walks out toweling her hair.

“Did I ever tell you how sexy you look with wet hair?” Joe asks leaning on her elbows while she laid on her stomach.

Amaranth chuckles, “Down Joe, it's time for bed, we have a long assignment ahead of us.”

Joe pouts before asking, “Do you think we'll be okay? This being my first assignment and your, what.. tenth one?”

Amaranth turns serious for a brief second, “Yeah, I'm sure we'll be fine.”

Joe nods slowly, she then turns over and lays down.

Amaranth gets into her bed, “You'll do fine, Joe. I'll be there to help. Goodnight.”

She hears a mumble before she turns over and reaching for the lamp and turning it off and going to sleep.

Note: De Luna Venenum means of moon poison and I clearly made it up.
