"My blessing? ... " her eyes well with joy as if now only just realising what I'm asking, as all the pieces finally come together, "do you mean ... you and Leroy ... together?" I nod excitedly then quickly gesture to her to keep her voice down. If anyone hears us, it could put Leroy in danger, not to mention us. "Awe, that's amazing," she whispers, "when?"

"Tonight at midnight."

"Good, okay. And are you marking each other tonight?" Her question drops a droplet of doubt into my heart,

"I ... err, think so," suddenly feeling unsure, but Kay just nods and asks,

"What phase was the moon in last night, do you know?"

"It wasn't a full, so I'd say, gibbous,"

"Waxing or waning?" She probes,

"Well, it didn't feel like a full moon the night before, so ... gibbous."

"Good, this is good," she smiles at me, "What's good?" I ask back.

"Well, if tonight is a full moon, then it can strengthen the bond between you and is said to be lucky."

    As I sit and wait in anticipation, I try not to let my mind wonder too much as time slowly ticks by. Having no clock or way of knowing the exact time, it's hard not to worry that midnight has come and gone. Fear creeps in as I worry he is not coming or something has gone wrong. That is until a smiling face appears at the bottom of the steps. I can't help but smile back profusely at his presence, he came, he actually came."Leroy!" I whisper excitedly, "you're here, you came," I run to the bars to embrace him as best I can with the obstacles in our way."Erin," he whispers back, "I promised I would." My heartbeat speeds up as our skin touches and sents mix. Kay clears her throat, causing us to let go of each other,"Luna," he bows his head to her, and she smiles. Turning back to look at me, still holding my hands, he asks, "Are you ready? Do you still want to do this?" "Yes." I beam at him, 'I am so ready,' I think to myself."Good," he rejoices with a

    We sit with shoulders leaning up against the bars, holding each other's hand for the rest of the night, and as we watch the moon fade away from the sky, I feel exhausted from the marking ritual just as Kay said I would. But I fight to stay awake, for not wanting to miss or waste a moment with my new mate, before he has to leave. As the sky bleeds a gorgeous mixture of red and orange, I feel his heart sink as it's time, he has to go, otherwise someone could spot him leaving our cells. 'I'm sorry,' he whispers again in my head so not to wake our sleeping luna, and it makes me tingle. I've shared a mind-link with him before hundreds of times, but it feels different now, more special. Plus, it's been so long since I've heard another voice inside my head, after being locked down here, they found a way or did something to stop us all from creating a mind-link with each other. So feeling Leroy's voice inside my head makes me swoon. 'I'm sorry, but I better go,' his words sound an

    Chilli POV As I lay in Elias's arms under the starry night, I feel myself getting lost in their beauty and wonder if anyone else from our pack is also looking up into this night sky. I have no idea what time it is, but it feels late as Elias pulls me into him tightly, our bodies keeping each other warm on this cool night. I look up at Elias, his facial features illuminated by the full moon, as I purr happily, not careing I am laying on the outside ground, just joyfully content with in Elias's embrace. As I continue to purr, he softly caresses my arm, soothing me into a well needed sleep, but just as I'm about to close my eyes, something amazing occurs. The sky above is filled with an incredible, graceful blue,"A blue moon," Elias utters gently, staring up at the sky in awe, "incredible." It's as if someone dripped a couple of drops of blue ink onto the moon's watery glow and left it to mix naturally until the whole thing was, well blue. "Wow," I gasp, unable to t

    My mouth waters as we enter the building, as my sensitive wolf nose can detect the smell of food already. I can't help but tighten my grip on Elias as my tummy grumbles loudly and impatiently. Okay, maybe this was a good idea, I didn't realise how hungry I actually am. A giggling sound escapes Jenny's lips, and she quickly looks at me apologetically."The dining hall is this way. We just back in time for lunch" Once in the hall, she hands us each a plate, and we join the line behind her. "Hey, Tina, this is Elias and Charlie, load them up," she says to the server with a smile, "Tina here makes the best food you'll ever try, trust me." With our plates loaded with sandwiches and a cold pastay something, we take a seat at an empty table and dig in, and surprisingly, it's not half bad, although I'm that hungry, I'd eat anything right now. "So," Jenny starts up the questions again whilst I have a mouth full of food, "you kids married?" Her abrupt question nearly makes

    Elias POV I do as Jenny asks and inquire about the computer with Tina, "Over here," the jolly lady says, showing me over to a light coloured grey box, "give it a few ticks to warm up and it'll be rearing to go." "Thank you."Once I'm sure she is gone and no one is looking over at me, I open the Internet, and click on 'map'. Slightly alien to the town names around here and thinking our territories won't show up, not by name anyway. They'll probably just be waste land as far as their Internet is concerned, but I'm pretty good with cartography, so it doesn't take me long to figure it out. "So, home is there..." I whisper to myself, "but where are we?" I ask myself, typing in 'Wingten' into the search bar above. Straight away, a pin appears on the map as it zooms in on the town. As I press the zoom out button a sinking feeling grows, "come on, come on... oh shit!" I sigh, we are miles away, four hundred and eighty-six to be exact, and that's just to the

    Jenny POV"I've got a weird feeling about those two," "Yeah, I know what you mean. It feels like they are hiding something," Tina agrees as we stand in the kitchen, watching the two young strangers sit in silence. "I know most of the folks we get in here are hiding something, but with them, it just seems ... different, you know, odd.""Yes," I confere, "it's definitely odd. Like the looks they give each other without saying a word, and did you see the cuts and bruises on her?" "Yes!" Tina says a bit too loudly, "and is that a bite mark on her neck?""Yes, thank you," relieved she noticed it aswell, "he has one too.""What the hell? Something is really off here," Tina states, still looking at them."I asked if she needed help to get away from him, but she said no quite harshly and insisted it was them getting carried away in the bedroom." I tell Tina, and she puffs at it, calling bullshit. "Anyway, they are trying to get to Hopster? I don't kn

    Elias POV Chilli couldn't help but fidget for the rest of the day as we wait for the coach man to arrive, so to keep herself busy until then, she insisted and pleaded with Jenny to let her do some jobs around the centre. She finally gave in to Chilli after her relentless badgering, "Fine, but I don't know what you can do," Jenny tells her,"Anything, cleaning, laundry, anything," Chilli says with glee at finally being aloud to keep herself busy."Well .... our housekeeper didn't come in today, I was going to ..." "I can do that," Chilli beams to Jenny surprise. Unbeknown to Jenny, Chilli is a very capable young woman. Apart from her having been instrumental in helping our fathers run the pack so smoothly for the past several years, while also being tort and raised to one day take over and help run our pack as my beta. She was also put through her paces with that cow of a stepmother, may she rest in hell, who basically treated her as a maid. Giving he

    Chilli POV Feeling Elias squeezing my hand supportively, sooths my mind and nerves, I feel like I can finally breathe and contain my emotions. "Oh girl, you look tired," Tina states as she looks at me. I'm just able to muster a smile as Jenny adds,"I'm not surprised, you worked incredibly hard today." She smiles at me, "I don't think this place as ever been this clean before. Can certainly use you here? Are you sure you want to leave? Could definitely find you a home here?" She jest hopefully, and I smile as I blush,"Thank you, but we really need to get back home." "Shame, but I get it. Hopefully, you'll sleep on the coach ride tonight and be back before you know it." "I hope so, that's the plan anyway," I sigh as I finish my food. Once done, I start to collect the plates and thank Tina for the lovely meal when Elias stands and takes them from me. He gives me a stern look, telling me to sit back down. When I do, he gives me a smile a

    Elias POV I look up and watch as Chilli steps out from the en suite, wraped in just a towel, making her way towards her dressing table as I lay on our bed where I was just aimlessly flicking through my phone. Taking a seat and opening its draw, she removes a single, plastic pot housing her facial cream and unscrews its lid. It's nothing fancy, not expensive, its just a simple, none branded, vitamin E night cream.I continue to ovserve as she dips two fingers into the pale lotion and looks into the mirror, to then slowly drag said fingers down her face, starting at her forhead, gliding smoothly along her nose and then finishing with a dab on her chin. She then wipes a bit of the remainder on each cheek before replacing the lid and putting it back in its draw. My eyes are fixed to her as she slowly but firmly works the cream into her skin, taking extra care near and around her eyes. Her finger tips caress over her own face and down her neck, over my mark on her neck

    Chilli POV Perching under a tree with Chant as we take a break from sparring whislts our mates for some reason decide to chop some fire wood. I find it amusing and humble how as the alpha he likes and enjoys chopping fire wood for the pack house, no job is to small for our mighty leader.Chant's seductive eyes never leave her mate as he swings the axe up into the air, where it seems to pause for the briefest of seconds before falling down onto a chunk of wood, spilting it into two. The whole movement and process is magical, so smooth and artistic like poetry. I had watched my own mate for a time, admiring his tensing biceps with every swing, the beauty of his movements and strength of the action, but now I'm just leaning back against the tree's trunk with my eyes shut, listening to the beautiful rhythmic sound of the wood splitting, of metal against nature, somehow for some reason I find it peaceful as I smirk at the thought of Chant lustfully gazing at Jay, it al

    Elias POV That was brutal, oh my goddess do I hurt, I haven't hurt this much from training since, shit, I don't know when. Sure, I was mad and needed to work it off, but fuck me, Chilli was livid, she was masking it well, I mean, wow. My ass hurts. I had to use all my strength to stay on my feet, especially after I hit the ground hard the first few times of her kicking and taking me down. Once she swept my legs out from underneath me, my wolf instincts took over just so I could stay on my feet. I think I pulled something that time, thank the goddess for wolf healing, cos my left ass cheek and leg are killing me. With Chant now paired with Chilli and Erin and Leroy working together, that leaves me with Jay, who is as good as his mate, oh dear. I sigh inwardly as we step away from the others to train, I can spar and keep up with anyone, I'm alpha afterall, but after the beating I've just endured, I'd prefer a nice easy spar, but hay ho, lets do this. Thankfully, Jay see

    Chilli POV Finally everyone is out on the field, we can get started. I am needing to hit something. Elias insist on sparring with me first and to Erin's relief but Chant's dismay, I agree. Which just leaves the others to pair up, one of them did suggest mate paring but the guys seems a little bit wary so it's girls vs girls and guys vs guys. For now anyway. After a fairly rough spar with Elias, I finally start to calm down and release my rage, which I guess was his plan, so I don't feel gilty later now if I cause anyone else major harm. Clearly sensing this, Elias allows us to switch partners and Chant and I go straight to each other, to which the rest of the group chuckle at our predictableness. Chant and I exchange a sinister grin as the others repair up, Elais with Jay and Erin with Leroy. I mirror Chant as she raises her arms up into a defensive stance, declaring she is ready, a smile growing on her face. As we stare down on each other I am reminded of our rematch

    "You know there was no way he would accept and train with us," Leroy says once we are alone and with just our own pack members, "I know, but it was fun and satisfying to embarrass him like that, the look on his face at the mere thought of it was golden. To watch him squirm." I can't help but let out an enormous laugh, to which Chilli shoots me evil eyes for finding any of this so amusing. "What?" I chuckle at her before pulling myself together because if looks could kill. I had to laugh, if I didn't I think I would have lost it, plus it felt so good, too good to put Jordan down a bit like that in such a slight way in front of the others. However, by Chilli's facial expression, she does not agree, goddess, did I want to kill him, thankfully in a way he did say no, or we would have had a dead alpha on our hands and territory. "Come on, your telling me you didn't want a chance at hitting him?" I ask her in a teasing way, she looks at me whislt crossing her arms across he

    "I hear some incorrect information has reached the ears of my children," "Oh, and what's that got to do with us? Idle gossip is not what these meetings are for." "No, not normally, but," she pauses for the briefest of moments to adjust her tone and the ferocity of her words, "but when it comes to petty, stupid, horrible lies about my family, my children, then you and I have a problem! A big problem!" He nearly chuckles in her face as he asks half heartedly,"Pray tell what are these so called insults?""A spare heir, a baby," she lists off the tamer ones first, working up to the biggest and worst one, before she stops again as I feel a heat burning off of her directed straight at Jorden, "and an inbreed!" The room falls silent after everyone gasps and shoot death stares at the alpha. A low growl escapes from mine, Erin and Leroy throats, our protectiveness taking over. Jordan looks like he doesn't know weather to laugh or bite back."Jordan!" One of the ot

    Jordan holds his hands up in defence as I take a few deep breaths to calm myself before turning to the rest of the room to acknowledge our other guests. "Alpha Jonathan, Luna Suzie, beta Willow, sorry for my tardiness, how is Maxwell?" I ask taking my seat next to Elias, pushing my anger down for now, eyeing up Jordan in the cornor of my eye, I'm not done with you yet, I think to myself."No problem Luna Winters, father is doing well and thoroughly enjoying his retirement," he smiles with a nod of his head, which we return, "thank you for asking." Jonathan took over as alpha of the west pack two years ago with his mate Suzie and appointed Willow Steal as the first female beta of the west pack. She is a strong minded woman with a powerful right hook."Alpha Alex, Luna Ela and beta Karl, welcome and thank you for coming today," Elias smiles to the leaders of the Spring rise pack from the south, who joined our alliance about four years ago.With the greetings done and out of the way, we

    The drive to school is a pretty normal one, we talk, sing and laugh all the way there, forgetting about any and all problems the day may have already brought. Once there and out of the car, we all walk hand in hand with Marcus in the middle, through the blue painted gates."Luna," the teacher on the gate addresses me with a nod of the head, as does any other adult that comes into eye contact with me. I smile back and return their nods.Like always, even though we come to Lily's class room first, we walk Marcus around to his first at her insistence, she says its part of her job to look out for him to make sure herself she sees him to his door. It warms my heart the care and love they have for each other. As I kiss my son goodbye and he hugs his sister, I take note of the other high ranking children from other packs, sitting at their tables ready for the lessons to begin.
