*Caleb*The Goddess went out of her way to bless me with Meadow in my life; I was proud of her, and honored to be her mate. Gideon swallowed hard and nodded at her standing up. "Ok, maybe I can stay behind the door and listen, or you have a Gesell Chamber here?" He said asking us. Meadow stood up as well with a smile and nodded. I on the other hand, was scratching my head."A Gesell Chamber is an interrogation room, with a tinted glass that allows others to stand behind it while they watch and hear the interrogation. It is commonly used in psychology research or interview," Meadow explained."We have two of those, yes," Cara replied."Meadow, can you lead the interrogatory?" Gideon asked and I growled."No way in hell she's going to be near that murderer," I said and Gideon flinched and gave a step back."Caleb... he has a reason why he is asking me and not you, either of you," Meadow started approaching me slowly and I tried hard to avoid her look, I couldn't let her go inside t
*Meadow*They walked to the other side of the Gesell Chamber and I took a deep breath before entering. I had goosebumps on my arms, I felt my heart racing through my chest, I was nervous as hell, and then I opened the door and felt the horrible shock of the vision inside. She was pale, with sad, mad eyes, long dirty blond hair and almost naked with her torn clothes. She looked at me half-crazy and half questioning who I was. She took a deep breath and howled softly in pain, shaking her head. I frowned. 'You didn't even give her something else to cover her body?' I sent openly to them and walked into the room, closing the door behind me."Who... the fuck... are you... and why am I still alive...." She spoke her questions with bitterness but I could not let any of this affect me. I might have gone for the human resources job but when I studied Psychology at the university, I had many experiences in internships at places where people in the same mental state as hers, were every day sigh
*Meadow*"Do you want to hear the truth?" I asked her and she nodded. "I wanted to know if you were reachable, and you are. I wanted to know if there was still a human side of you that could feel, and there is... as you have still a sense of humor. And you are a smart woman, defensive but smart. You have been studying me as well, I know you have, even though you pretended to be either offended or annoyed or offensive. It is enough for today, they had you locked long enough. I am going to prepare you a better room, let you have access to a bathroom so you can take a bath, and give you some clothing. And if you are ok with it, I will talk to you tomorrow," I said while she watched me closely, she was half smiling and that was a sign I earned her respect.'Please find a proper room so I can prepare it for her Cara, I won't ask you to prepare it for her, and I will do it myself,' I sent to Cara and saw Agape sighed. "Talk tomorrow... do I have a choice?"I nodded at her. "Yes, you have
*Meadow*I walked towards the command center holding hands with Caleb, I smiled and waved at some of the other wolves who greeted us on the way, and I sighed with content; that afternoon we were preparing to go on a run, my formal welcoming to the pack as a full true Luna, shifted and mated.I saw Gideon standing in the entrance and that broke my train of thoughts. "Hi Gideon, what is wrong?""Hi... nothing, Cara and Alex not letting me in unless it's with you, so... yeah..." He shrugged and I sighed."It is for your own good, please trust me," I tried to calm him and he just shrugged again.Caleb kissed my forehead and released my hand. 'Talk to him if you need to, I will be inside when you are ready,' He sent to me and I smiled.'Thank you,' I sent him back and watched him walk into the building.I sat on the stairs at the entrance and Gideon just stared at the floor in silence. It was not easy to let that go for long but I tried to respect his time. Finally he moved down to t
*Meadow*When I walked in, the view was depressing. She was pale, sad, tears in her eyes, her body and hair clean but she looked like she had not gotten any sleep at all. I sighed and sat on the chair that I brought the day before. She looked at me once, then back to stare at the window. "Cornelius is not here, is he..."I sighed and nodded. "Is he alive?" She asked me and again I nodded, she sobbed and swallowed hard. "You want to use me against him... it won't work... he has no heart anyway..." She said in the most sad and desperate voice, every part of me fighting to contain the tears. "For a moment I thought he was here too... I thought I smelled him...""Agape, you want us to let you go so you can run back to him?" I asked and she looked at me with wide eyes. No, I am not crazy. I heard her words as well as the tone in which they were spoken. She said something that made me think she knows he is bad. Will she still want to go back to him? like those domestic violence victims, w
*Meadow*We arrived home and Caleb took me up to the bathroom and turned on the water, filling the tub. I looked at him with a million questions but he wasn't looking at me, he simply started to undress me and I let him. He looked at me with worried eyes, examining my body, every part of me, but never meeting my eyes. Then he tested the water and guided me in.The water was warm and welcoming, it felt so good. I laid and tried to relax while he kneeled next to me and held a sponge with liquid soap, and started to caress my body softly. It wasn't erotic, it was simply a love gesture, it overwhelmed me. "We have an important event tonight, I don't want this to ruin it for you, so now you are going to relax, you will have tomorrow to worry about her." He whispered to me and kissed my forehead, and I closed my eyes letting him wash away my tension.It was true, I didn't realize how tensed and worried I had been the last 24 hours until now. It was as if Agape was getting into me somehow
*Meadow*We walked hand in hand to the center of the area where everyone was waiting for us; a large park that surprised me with its attendance. I saw everyone and they saw me. I recognized familiar faces, children that played where I walked, teenagers who were kissing near a corner, an old couple walking by. They were all there smiling and waiting for me. The whispers and chatter went quiet as we reached their center."My family, my pack..." Caleb began. "Troubled times were behind us, and new alliances will be forged soon. Tomorrow we will embrace another race to our home and show them we are not scared of them and we are not superior to them, we are equal but different. This is what our Luna and I want you to believe in, because it is what we believe." He spoke firmly and it drew me in ways I didn't realize before, the way he spoke was special, he could talk you through anything. "We will fight against a common enemy and we will be united in battle. I ask you to respect this pact
*Meadow*It was beautiful; the wind in my fur, the blurriness at my side as I ran faster, my eyes adjusting to the light of the moon focusing upon each new object: a rock, a tree, a leaf. Caleb quickly caught up with me and began running at my side, I didn't want to chase him, nor have him chase me, perhaps in another time. Now I wanted him with me, at my side, enjoying this moment as we both ran towards our spot. I knew where I was heading, and he knew it too.I saw and felt the earth shake with my pack's run; wisps glowing up in the air at the top of the trees. Queen Isilwen herself graciously watching us from the top of the tallest tree. I howled up at her and saw her smile and bow her head.Caleb and I reached the stream and waterfall I now love so much, and I didn't stop running, I jumped into the water and soon Caleb jumped too. I felt the wet sand under my paws and jumped up and down enjoying the splash of the water and the feeling of his maw now playing to catch my neck and
