Once I calm down a little bit, Dante walks me into the house and sits down on the sofa next to me. He calmly rubs my back as I keep taking deep breaths to try and relax a little.
"Do you want to tell me what happened? A lot of pack members were worried to see their Luna walking lost in thoughts and close to tears." He tells me.
So that is why he was waiting at the door. I know that I can tell him anything but the thought of crying over the possibility of hearing their voices again seems a little silly. Still, I do feel better after letting the tears out so maybe talking about it more will help as well.
"Elle began teaching me something similar to an illusion. It is an auditory illusion. So I can make people hear things without changing what they are seeing. It is a lot more difficult and it took me a while to get a right. Once I finally had one good attempt I realized that with auditory illusions, and heck even full ones, I would be able to see and hear my paren
We ended up never making it out to dinner last night. Instead, we just ordered a pizza and stayed in the bedroom all night. We were not all over each other for the entire night, but instead we spent time together just talking. We talked about our parents, our families and the types of parents we wanted to be when we decided that it was time to have some pups of our own. Even without going out we ended up having a really good time in our own little world.Today the world is done waiting for us though. We have to get back to teaching our classes and I have to get back to learning the craft as well. Even though yesterday ended a little rough after training with Elle, it overall ended nicely. Having the one on one time with Dante with nothing to worry about has really helped me to clear my head and feel a little better about my decisions that I made."Alright everybody. I talked to Dante last night about our class and we have come up with something that we would like
"So, for now, you want me to train with the young kids. Right?" Julia asks.I nod my head and say, "Yes. They have been training for a couple of months now and with the basics that I would guess you know it would be the perfect way to get you up to the right skill level to do some more intense training. Plus, it will be like training your patience too. These kids can really test it most days. They aren't too bad with me since I am the Luna but when I am not paying attention the will get up to almost anything. So, if you are ready to begin then I can start you when their class starts in about 15 minutes.""Alright, I will wait over here until then I guess." She says a little half heartedly.Understandably, starting your training with a bunch of kids under the age of 10 cannot exactly seem fun to a grown adult. These children are wolves though so almost everything physical comes to them a lot faster naturally so there is a chance that she will struggle to ke
Elle has something planned for us. Not something that I was expecting by any means but she definitely had something planned. Today, she wants us to try and talk to the plants to find out where they want to be situated in the garden. According to her they are unhappy and if we want top results then we need to find a way to make them happy."So, where are we supposed to start? They aren't exactly sentient in the way that we are used to." I say uncertainly."How about you find the most unhappy plant and learn what it needs. It might be more simple than you think." Elle says mysteriously.What is that supposed to mean? It is difficult enough working with her most days but if she is going to be like this then I have no idea how I am going to figure this out. The plants are able to give us general ideas of what they need by giving us feelings and pictures but they cannot respond with words or answer questions. This is going to make rearranging the garden more di
It took almost all afternoon before Elle finally came up to us and told us that we could take a break for the day. In all, we moved almost a quarter of the plants to new homes. Our backs are aching, we are drenched in sweat and personally, my arms feel like rubber. But, the plants that we moved are much happier in their new homes. Maybe this will mean that they will thrive even more than they have been.The walk back to the pack house is farther away than I remember. As I make the walk, my feet feel like lead. Maybe the longer jog this morning before lessons was a bad idea. Then again, how was I supposed to know that Elle was going to expect us to do physical labor today as well? Normally training with her is all mental.If I am feeling this sore then I am sure that Julia is really feeling it. She may have just been training with the kids today but any training on a body that is not used to it is going to be extremely difficult. By tomorrow she might even decide not to
"How exactly are we supposed to do something like that? We can't just leave with the rest of the pack unprotected. I am all for taking some time off and spending it with you but doing what and where?" I query out loud."We can spend some time thinking on it for now. Maybe an opportunity will come up." He says mysteriously.Has he already planned something without telling me? Or does he just know something that is happening soon that will help me to make up my mind? I narrow my eyes as I study him. He definitely seems to be hiding something."I take it you are just going to let me wait and find out?" I say to him."I have no idea what you are talking about." He says jokingly.Well, looks like I am going to be kept in the dark until he wishes for me to know what is going on then. At least I have plenty to keep me busy until then. We both know that I definitely could use a vacation with all of the training that I have been doing lately so if som
"Why don't you come in and join us for a bit. Take a seat." Morden says to me rather sweetly.Nothing about what is going on is making any sense. I know that they are not here to be nice to me so what could they possibly want? What could make a witch and a werewolf work together? The only way to find out is to join them and see if I can get any answers.Walking closer to them, I decide to lean against one of the walls instead of actually sitting across from them. I do not exactly trust that they will not have somebody come up behind me when my back is turned."What's wrong? Don't trust us?" Morden asks."Not really. Not the greatest track record I am afraid. Plus, to put the entire pack to sleep just to get a moment alone with me is not exactly the greatest way to build trust. You should really work on that." I say sarcastically."It is rather sad that it has come down to this. I have been asking for a meeting with you for some time. This was
Morden seems absolutely furious at the fact that Julia does not wish to go with her. I do not blame Julia by any means though. From what she has said, living and training with Morden was an absolute nightmare. Not something that I would want to willingly go back to by any means."Well then, now that that is settled. I think that it is time for you to go ahead and take your leave. There is no reason for you to be here. As you can see, we are not holding her against her will. I promise that I have not brainwashed her by any means either. I know that you will choose not to believe that but it is true. So, now, please leave." I tell Morden as nicely as I can manage.The entire time that we have been talking Lovette has not piped in about anything. I have no idea how she feels about this entire situation. Still, she continues to just sit there and watch our back and forth battle instead of joining in. Is something going on here that I do not know for sure?"Tha
"So, what happened? I know that I did not sleep through my alarm that easily." Dante says as he walks down the stairs."Um, Morden happened." I say a little guiltily.I know that i have not learned anything about spells that could cause an entire pack to sleep that way but I still feel like I should have been able to stop her. I should have known that something was wrong. I just should have done something other than walk right into her trap."What do you mean, Morden happened? What does she have to do with me sleeping like that?" He asks confused."The entire pack did actually. She cast a spell over the whole pack making everyone sleep like the dead until she could talk to Laina. I still do not know what she had hoped to accomplish besides being a nuisance but she was here in this house. She had a younger wolf with her too. Laina, who was she?" Elle says turning to me.Dante turns and looks at me curiously too so I clear my throat and answer,
