Freya stands in front of Talon, looking down at him. I feel her purr deep in her chest. Talon just stares in pure shock. Freya takes another step closer to Talon, moving her snout to his head to sniff it. She slowly starts moving around him, whipping everything over around her and in her path. Barely enough room for her to stand in the room, let alone move around comfortably. 

"Mate." I hear her growl. "Mine!"

I see Talons eyes turn dark with his wolf, then back to his dark blue. 

"Nikkia shift back so we can talk." Talon says. 

Freya growls, not willing to give up control. 

"Please." 

Freya growls louder and steps in front of him again, pushing him back against a wall. Baring her teeth at him, she bows her head and puts her face in front of his. 

"Nikkia, take control of your wolf." Talon commands, no emotion on his face. "You need to have control."

Freya howls, not liking being told what to do. She stands, growling lowly In her chest, threatening a challange. I watch as Talons eyes go from black to blue as he fights off his wolf. 

"Don't make me do it, Nikkia. I can only hold him off for so long."  

"Freya, please. We don't need to do this. Not this time." I beg her. "Give me back control."

"I will not shift back, but you can have partial control." Freya growls, always being the stongest between us. She gives Talon another sniff, then lays down, cuddling up at his feet. 

I look up at Talon, seeing him thrown off guard. He looks back at me with a small smile. Sitting down next to me and putting his hand in my fur. 

"White wolves have never been seen before." He whispers. "How beautiful." He looks down at the black patch on my chest, running his hand through it. "The same color as my fur." Wonder filling his voice. 

We sit in silence as he rubs my fur, his hand sending sparks up my skin where he touches. 

"What an eventful day, huh." He chuckles. "I never thought I'd find my mate. What a blessing." He sighs as I glance up at him, a thoughtful look on his face. "It seems you are confused though, and need some stuff explained, and same here. No matter how much I already enjoy your wolf and her beautiful fur, I think we should really talk." Freya purrs to the compliments, pushing herself closer to Talon, squishing him against the wall in the process. He gasps, breathing for air, patting our side. "You're suffocating me, haha. You're bigger than you think."

I shift my body away from his, feeling the discontent from Freya. I huff in annoyance, wishing I was stronger than my wolf. I had kept her hidden and locked away most of my life. Only when I escaped did she finally get her full freedom, and giving it up is not something she wants. I stand, trying to stretch my huge body in this tiny room. 

"I feel cramped, Freya. Can we please shift back." 

I feel Freya give me back full control, and i shake off her feeling of anger towards me. I glance over at Talon. He's just been watching me with wonder, still sitting on the floor. I concentrate, and start to feel my bones shifting back into Human form. I fall to the floor in exhaustion. I feel a blanket drape over me, and my body being lifted off the floor. I glance up through half closed eye lids and see Talons worried face. He looks down at me, trying to give me a small smile. 

"Don't worry, darling. Ill let you get some rest. I'm just putting you in my bed, I'll sleep on the couch." He moves his hand to my face, moving my hair out of the way. 

I feel myself smile as I keep looking at him. I finally feel safe. Safe, I think. A word I hadn't felt the meaning of since my dad disappeare. My eyes close as sleep takes over. 

I'm standing in a pond, like almost every night. It's dark, the moon casting the only light, shining down on the pond. I look ahead, wondering what will appear tonight. There's nothing. I glance around, hearing silence as always. There's a forest around the pond, with beautifully colored trees. From pink to the darkest of blues. This place has always felt magical, my dreams always bringing me here. I take a deep breath and sit in the water, crossing my legs. I take one last look around then close my eyes, breathing slowly, feeling the energy of the place I'm in. I had been looking for this place since I awoke in that forest, thinking it would have the answers. Never being able to find it, just trusting my instincts that I was going the right way. 

I feel a presence and snap my eyes open, seeing a large black wolf with a white patch on his chest sitting in the other side of the pond, his body half submerged. He stares at me with black eyes as I stare at him. I feel like I know him, but I've never seen this wolf before. His presence drawing me to him. I try to stand, but I am weighed down by the water, not being able to move. My wolf calls to him, begging for him. 

"What are you trying to tell me?" I look to the moon for answers, hoping for a hint at least once. I look back down and the wolf is gone. I huff in annoyance. I try to think what this means. Non of these dreams ever made sense, but I know the moon goddess was trying to tell me something. I just never knew what. I look back at the moon, hoping to find any answer at all. I start feeling myself being pulled back into deep sleep, and welcome it as I close my eyes.

    I awake to voices whispering angrily in the living room. Light shining through the window, hurting my eyes. I roll over and stare at the ceiling, trying to listen in."No, you don't understand Kian. She was the biggest wolf I've ever seen, way bigger than my own, and im the biggest of all of us.""You feeling threatened Talon?" Kian chuckles."No! Again, I'm not feeling threatened. You aren't understanding my worry. All of a sudden I finally find my mate, which is amazing. But I'm worried. What does this all mean? She shows up having been captured by a slave seller," He pauses, "which you took care of right?"Kian laughs. "Oh yah. He won't be capturing and selling people anymore, don't worry about that.""Good. Anyways. She shows up, the seller tells me she killed 5 of his men after them trying to capture her for 2 months. An impressive feat in itself. She's calm, collected, and by the time she gets to my room she star

    We make our way out of the house, following the stair case back down to the first floor. I take it all in again, not filled with fear this time. It really is a wonderfully crafted house. I feel a squeeze on my hand, pulling me out of my thoughts. I look over to Talon smiling at me, making me smile back. "Do you like what you see? My ancestors built it and we have been adding onto it since. It just keeps getting bigger." Talon laughs, pushing open the front doors to take us outside. "This is the Alpha and Lunas house. We then have room for our gamma, our beta, and some omegas that help cook and clean. We usually host every event that we have here too since it's big enough to fit everybody." I smile at him, "I love it. I've never seen anything like it. We kept everything small." The sun shines in my face as the doors open, making me cover my eyes. Talon leads me down the stairs. I uncover my eyes to such a beautiful village. When I was brought in my eyes had been covered, so I miss

    We walk through the door into a large room, bookshelves lining all but one wall. A door off to the the left, with a staircase going to the second floor next to it. I glance at all the books, seeing too many to count. I look to the wall with no books. A fireplace burns bright in the middle of it with 2 large paintings hanging above it, one a man and one a wolf. My eyes stay glued to the paintings as I study them. One a man, and one a wolf. The man is painted to be tall, full of muslces. Hair blacker than night, with emerald green eyes staring right back at me. I look to the wolf, his fur the same as the mans hair, the saem emerald eyes starieng at me. "That is the first werewolf...." "Samual Redwood.' I say, cuttin Talon off. "We never had paintings of him, but we learned everything there was to know about him. He was just a human that fell in love with moon, and she fell in love with him. She made a human form to come down to be with him, then blessed him with the wolf.." I stop

    I feel Freya take over all control as I fall into the back of her mind. What the hell is happening? What does she mean we are the descendents of the moon goddess? I feel Freya pushing me all the way out of earshot in her mind, falling into nothingness. I feel sleep taking over as Freya lulls me to sleep. Not fighting it at all, I fall into a quiet sleep. Talon Pov I stand to my feet, watching Freya curiously. She really is the most beautiful wolf I'd ever seen. Her fur so white it glowed. I look down noticing the black patch on her chest again. Not noticing I had walked to her, I reach my hand out and stroke it. Freya looks down at me, purring. My wolf purrs back as I glance into her eyes. Her eyes were the green of the forest, bright and full of life. I don't know how long I stared into her eyes when I heard a cough behind me, followed by a threatining growl from Freya. "I am sorry my Queen, but we have urgent matters that need to still be discussed." "Very well." Freya speaks

    Everything is a blur as I get shoved down in front of the man sitting on the throne. I feel a hand roughly grab my hair and rip my head back, aligning my eyes with the king. Hands chained behind my back, tired and weakened from the fight I had already given. I stare straight back at the eyes studying me. Black. Nothing but black."She will do." He says with a gruff voice, more animal than human. He comes and stands in front of me, grabbing a strand of my hair, twirling it through his fingers. "I've never had a red head before." He smiles, a malicious smile, and whispers in my ear, "I bite, so be careful." He turns around and looks at the guards holding me. Looking past them he finds my seller. "What makes her so worth your price?"The seller looks at the king with terror, scared to answer."She is nothing I've ever seen before. It took us 2 months to finally catch her, and when we did she killed 5 of my men. I don't know what she is, but keep h

    I get out of my thoughts and walk to the bathroom. I look in the mirror and see the caked blood in my hair and running down my face. I have bruises covering the visible skin. My body was slowly healing, which only made me more tired. I take off my clothes, stumbling when my foot gets caught in a hole that had been torn in my pants, falling flat on my face on the floor. I groan and roll over to my back. My foot had finished the tear in the pants, leaving my leg exposed from my knee down. I sigh, sitting up. Standing to my feet, I free myself from the remainder of the pants, tossing them to the side. I turn on the shower, climbing in and submerging myself under the water. I start washing away all the blood and dirt, watching the water run down the drain red revealing an unscathed canvas. What have I gotten myself into? The man was obviously a king, but king of what and who. I had never smelled these kind of people before. They smelled alike to my kind, but not enough that it made any
