After unloading all of my feelings onto Scarlett, I find myself feeling much lighter than I had before. I can think clearer and focus on what all I have to do. I know that I have to go and meet him and there is no way around hiding part of me from the rest of the pack. When I walk towards the witch house, I am happy to see that Hazel and Jade are both out by the lake, working on some of their magic. Even though they are no longer novices, they have both been going at their training with renewed purpose. They train just as much now as they did before. It is nice to see them working so hard at the parts of being a witch that they truly love. It is even better to see that neither of them has really tried to focus on combat and has instead chosen to explore other areas of their training that they have been lacking in.They both wave to me as I walk by and I smile in return. When I get closer to the house, I see that there are some Novices also out practicing by the corner of the house. W
"So, the way that I see it, we send them a notice saying that we are stopping by to check on their pack. They will have no reason to suspect that there is anything else going on. It can come off as being a political move. Nothing more than one alpha visiting another." Dante says as we talk things over."I just do not want them to see me and assume that we are instantly their enemies. What if they know who I am?" I worry aloud. "We can show up in our werewolf forms. Lots of packs travel that way since it is easier. We will just transform from that form once we reach the boundary." Kevin puts in."Kevin, you will have to stay here with the pack. We will need you here in case anything goes wrong. Besides, your new mate would not be welcome and you should really stay with her." Dante points out."All great points, but, if we are in our wolf forms and come across the witches, then what? I cannot be both when we get there." I tell them.Elle turns towards me thoughtfully. She must have som
I am so filled with nerves after our meeting that I cannot quite relax for the night. Even after Dante tries to wear me out I find myself unable to sleep. After tossing and turning for a few hours I decide to get up. It might be time to go and do something that I have still been managing to put off. Showing up at this time might even help give me an advantage.Walking down the stairs, I find that everybody is asleep. Normally witches sometimes stay up to worship the Moon Goddess when she is in the sky but tonight fortune favors me as I make my way over to the stairs leading to Morden's room. Taking a deep breath, I begin the walk down the stairs.Before I even reach out to knock on the door I hear her say, "Come in."My brows raise in shock as I open the door and walk inside. There are candles lit everywhere in the room. I expected her to be asleep like everybody else but instead she is sitting cross legged on the ground surrounded by white candles."What are you doing at this time of
After talking to Morden, I found that I was able to sleep much better. It might not be the best idea to send her somewhere where she could give away some of our secrets. Still, I have to give her the option to prove to me that she is trying to become a better person. Staying in her room is not healthy for her or even for myself.Dante did not rouse at all when I was gone or even when I got back into bed. He must have been tired after the day that we had. It was quite a shock to learn that the pack that my father is in is at war with witches. Then, to try and find a way to get in without anybody realizes who I am is a bit problematic. He tries not to show me but he is worried about me again. With me being pregnant he has been a worried mess. Now that we are planning to go and visit this other pack he is even more nervous. Somehow, I keep finding ways to put myself into danger which is really putting a damper on his mental state.When we wake up I cannot help but smile at him. He looks
The teenagers did, in fact, try to have a party that the patrols were more than happy to put a stop to. Instead of the patrols ousting themselves and making them go back, they instead used their cunning and managed to scare them. They forgot the fact that there are no creatures bigger than us werewolves in the area and managed to allow themselves to get spooked and headed back to their campsites instead. Now, it is the time that I have been both looking forward to and dreading at the same time. It is now time for us to head towards the Luminescense Creek pack. To meet my father. Who is still alive. I am so shocked by the fact that I keep repeating it to myself over and over again. "Are you ready for this?" Dante asks me."As ready as I can be." I reply as we gather with Amora behind the pack house.The entire pack has come out to give us a wonderful fairwell. They are all cheering us on as we get ready to leave. It is a little bittersweet to know that we are leaving them for an unkn
Our break for lunch was not nearly long enough for Amora's liking. I, on the other hand, cannot wait to move forward. I am determined that we are going to be able to camp within a couple of miles of the Luminescence Creek pack by nightfall. I do not want the witches to catch us before the pack is able to see us."We need to get going. I know that you would like some more rest but we need to get going if we are going to make it there on time." Dante says through an open mind like between the three of us."I know. My old age is getting to me during this trip. I will make it though. Of that, I am sure." Amora replies.With that we all take off running once again. We have a little farther to go than we went this morning. It is going to be a long trip. Even I might be tired by the time we make it to our camp site for the night. My exhaustion has finally let up a bit in the last couple of days but I can still feel it hovering, just out of reach.Amora slows down slightly after another hour
The cave that we were pointed to is just roomy enough for us all to be able to lay comfortably inside. There is not much wiggle room but it will keep us all from sitting out in the open commpletely exposed to the elements or to unwanted watchers."What do you think he has heard about us?" I ask Dante with our mind link."Not sure. It could be that we found a new Luna, maybe that we made enemies with the witches. Let's just hope that they have not heard of anything too recent." He answers."Before they come back tomorrow, how are you feeling Laina? We have been running all day and you have not been resting or eating as much as you should." Amora says to me."I am fine. Tomorrow we should be able to get into the pack and fix all of that. I would not mind a nice steak dinner." I tell them."What if they do not come back tomorrow?" Amora asks worriedly."Then we will go to them. I am not going to sit out here forever waiting for them to make up their minds. I say that we still go there fi
After obsessing over what I have going on the following day for a few hours, I finally manage to pass out. My awareness is still stretched out to the max so that I am able to keep an eye on everything, even in my sleep. I only got woken up once when a pack of wild coyotes come into the area. They must have been familiar with werewolves though because as soon as they caught our scent, they steered clear of us. I awoke early enough to see the sun rise in the distance. It is an absolutely gorgeous display of pink and orange. Hopefully, this is a sign that the day is going to go well. Once the sun is fully risen, the moon is still visible in the other side of the sky, The Moon Goddess is definitely keeping an eye on us today. That thought warms me as I begin to move around and wake the other two."What is the game plan for today then?" Dante asks me. "Are we going to wait a while to see if he shows back up or we just going to rush in there?""I think, that being pregnant, I need some nou
