LANAFrom the moment that I set my eyes on him. This baby was something else. I know that Seth has been worried about me and has been walking on eggshells since Calvin mentions the orphanage/daycare. But the truth is, I was fine. Although I have to admit that a small part of me felt guilty to even think that I was fine when my own son is missing. But there was a small hope inside of me that always assured me that he was alive somewhere. And just because I have accepted the fact that I lost Nathaniel, does not mean that I have stopped looking for him because the truth is, Seth and I never really stopped. It’s funny how even though we lost our own child, Seth and I were able to perform our best for the babies of Purple Hill. We both learned how to remove, clean, and put in new diapers for the babies here. I also learned how to be able to feed and know if the baby I was holding was indeed hungry and not crying for any other reason.But there is this one baby among the bunch that had
Drake gave us more tours of Purple Hill and even had lunch with his parents as he introduces me to them. Drake’s father was a very kind man, and I can see his resemblance with Drake, especially when it comes to his attitude. “It’s nice to finally meet the new Alpha of the Black Moon Pack,” he said as he shook my hand, “My apologies for not being able to be there to show my condolences to your father. Aldous was one of the great men I had met in this lifetime. I have the biggest respect for him as an Alpha.”“My father would be very happy to hear that,” I said smiling. “It’s also nice to see Lana and you together,” He added as sadness filled his eyes. If he heard about my father’s death, I am sure that he had also heard about how we lost our child. I can see that he wanted to say something comforting but decided to just keep silent. “So how are you, Lana?” Drake’s mom asks. Drake’s mom was a very well-known Luna in the South region. She was known to be one of the most powerful mag
The next day, Drake picked us up and drove us to the Purple Hill Daycare/Orphanage. At first, it gave me a heart attack as I was not sure why were there. Because as far as I remember, I specifically told Drake to keep the adoption a secret from Lana as I wanted to surprise her.My nerves finally calmed down when I saw Calvin and Jericho waiting for us at the parking lot. “Why are we here?” I asked in confusion. “I’ll discuss everything inside,” Drake said as he got out of the truck. We all followed Drake inside the building and found Nikki talking to one of the staff inside. When she saw Drake she finishes up whatever it was that she was discussing with her employee and then turned to look at us as she asks us to follow her. She walked to the left into a small hallway and then stopped at the door to the right at the end of the hall. “My office isn’t as big and as comfortable as my brothers’, but I believe that this will make do, right?” she asks her brother. “Yes,” Drake replies.
As discussed we proceeded with the training. Drake joined the training which boosted the morale of his warriors. Aside from that, it was very noticeable how well he was handling each task as he ensures that no one gets left behind. In the far corner, I can see Calvin’s scowling face as he watches the training of the Drake and the warriors. “Hey, Jer,” I called Jericho with the nickname he had when we were young as I try to set the mood of our conversation. “Hmm,” Jericho replied as he looks at me with questioning eyes, “Something tells me that you will ask me to do something I don’t like.”I just smiled at him as I wait for him to walk towards me. “If this is about Calvin,” he started to say, in a voice low enough just for me to hear. “Yes, it’s about him, and yes you will listen,” I said, “Don’t make me use my Alpha command on you just to hear me out.”Jericho let out a heavy sigh and I know that this conversation won’t be easy. “Okay, I’m all ears,” he said, rather disappoint
After the meeting, I proceeded with creating the contract for Drake’s elite warriors including Drake, Nikki, Calvin, Jericho, and Seth. This is the safety precaution that I have learned from Seth’s grandfather to avoid anyone who knows magic and has ill intentions of torturing them just to find out the truth.I also tried to improve it in a way that when someone dare try to get into their heads, they wouldn’t remember anything about the contract and the training at all. Everything in their mind will be erased and it will alert me if someone dares try to manipulate them. Hearing this scared Drake as all of their hard work would go to waste if ever that happens. But the good thing about this newly improved contract that I made was that their mind can forget but their bodies won’t. Meaning, all the things they have learned will remain within them, like muscle memories. Which meant all their hard work won’t be lost. And as soon as their body and mind fell in sync, their memories will s
Lesson learned. Never get your Luna angry. After what happened yesterday, I vowed to myself to never make that kind of joke to Lana again. I promised that it will be the last time I pull something like that. I never knew Lana has it in her to be a prankster and I have to admit that she really did catch me off-guard. Well, to give you a brief summary of what happened yesterday, Lana showed me a part of herself that I never knew existed. First, she left me alone in the training field. Yup, I was inside that border, alone for what seemed like forever, even though Jericho keeps telling me that I was just there for 10 minutes. Second, the silent treatment, Drake decided to treat us for dinner, including Leon and Nikki and while we were there, Lana never sat beside me, nor talk to me. I thought that when she sense how awkward it was for us to act that way in front of everyone she would finally give in. But boy was I very wrong. Because everyone acted normal like it was normal for Lan
I can’t believe I did that to Seth, my Alpha. But I guess it did produce some good results. I know that he was just kidding when he did that to me, and I have to admit that I went a little overboard. One thing I noticed though, Seth never made me feel that I was childish for doing what I did to him.“Are you mad?” I asked Seth as I snuggled closer to his bare chest. “Nope,” he answered, “Are you?” He asks nervously. “Not really,” I said, “but I was pissed off when you said that you were the first person Mikey wrapped his cute little fingers on and you pushed me to the edge when you hung up on me. “Sorry, baby, I was just teasing,” Seth said as he pulled me closer to him, “I promise it will never happen again,” he said assuring me.“I have to be honest that it makes me quite sad knowing that we’ll be leaving after tomorrow,” I said softly.“Why?” Seth asks.“I don’t know,” I started to say, “I guess I got so attached to the children in the orphanage and the daycare.” “You know yo
Lana was right, this mountain is hell. It may have a very angelic name but the terrain, the altitude, and everything else was pure hell. But despite my complaints about how it gives us a hard time, our training went better than expected because of it. I was surprised at the tenacity that Drake, Calvin, and the rest of the elite warriors showed in today’s training. So many times they have proven that giving up is never in their vocabulary. “Trust me when I say that you have my respect,” Drake says, “Now I understand why it was so hard to beat you during tournaments.”I laughed.“Seriously?” I asked him.“Seriously,” Drake replies as he finishes a whole bottle of water. “What made you think that way?” I asked out of curiosity.“Damn, this training that both you and Jericho are giving us is way beyond my imagination. The complexity, the way we now all move in sync with each other as we fight and at the same time protect our own,” Drake was filled with awe and excitement that it made
