“Sabrina, you need to remember the plan. You cannot be around Max for this plan to work.” My mother says to me before I can even close the door.
“Yes. We will all shift into our wolves and drag Reginald’s family away from the fight. I will not shift in front of Max” I say.
I did not like this plan but my mother convinced me that we had a better chance at winning if it was like that.
Gifts and powers.
We all had different powers and they could help us but our wolves were stronger and that’s what we needed.
We agreed to run in our wolves all the way to no man’s land and fight them there. Apparently, the moon goddess had a plan for them that my mother wouldn’t share.
Josey and I had an inkling this would happen. My mother made sure we agreed to this plan as if it were to happen.
“Why don’t we just do it the minute they arrive? Or are you hoping to get Max and the twins busy enough to not notice our disappearance?” Josey asks what I was just thinking.
“I mean, let’s be honest here. Max will not let Sab out of his sight now that she’s carrying his pup and do I need to remind you that I have twin mates who won’t want me out of their sight too? This could backfire on us ” She points out.
“I hope it doesn’t come to that. I hope we don’t have to expose ourselves to them but you must remember that your duty is to protect these wolves. You are all descendants of the moon and this world is only temporary. Your work is with the moon, not just this pack. We remain selfless at all times, carrying a pup or not.” My mother says. Emphasizing the last part.
“We die for them you mean?” I ask my mother.
“If it comes to that, you will die in this world but your place with the moon goddess will always remain. That is our life.” My nana answers me. My mother cups both my cheeks, looking into my eyes.
“Although I have a feeling you both won’t die just yet. Your job is to bring soldiers of the moon goddess in to the world and that has not happened yet.” My mother says immediately after my nana’s answer.
“So, what you’re saying is we might have to watch you two die?” Josey asks with panic in her tone and in her eyes.
“Yes, but you will meet us again up there.” She says. “You can also summon us in your dreams too. That is our life.” My mother says.
My grandmother walks up to me and places her hand on my still very flat belly.
“We have had a very long life. There are more of us doing the very same thing all over the world. It is our duty as soldiers of the moon.” She says as she rubs my belly in circular motion.
“He is going to be powerful. I can feel his aura already.” My grandmother beams at me.
“He?” I say to her and she nods. A boy.
We can revisit the part about him being powerful because I expected nothing less. I just figured my child would be a girl seeing as we are of the moon and all.
“Oh, mother stop scaring the children. We can have this conversation after all of this chaos.” My mother says to her mother.
Cj walks in and looks between all of us.
“Having a meeting without me?” He asks. His stare seemed very accusing.
“Just mother reminding us of how crucial it is that we win this fight” Josey quickly answers saving me from giving an answer that will totally blow our cover. I could never lie to Cj, somehow, he could see right through me.
“Ok well Isabella and the rest of the prisoners are outside ready to fight. The heat and motion detectors were going crazy by the pack border so I’d hate to break up this reunion but we need you all out there. Plus, headmistress is asking for you, Kimberley” Cj says looking at my mother so there’s no confusion.
We all walk out to meet with the hunter’s downstairs. They were deep in conversation with Uncle Deacon by the entrance of the house.
Right by the door stood 15 men and women holding some crazy weaponry. They had on stoic expressions but their gear showed that they were ready to kill.
This made all of it very real to me. It all clicked and I was in fighter mode. Although the idea of outing myself while I’m pregnant seemed a little too risky for me.
Only goddess knows what plans she has in store for me and she’s been rather vague since we met. Not my favorite family member if we had to take a vote.
We were introduced to all of them and I got to meet Josh and Jason again. The brothers.
We all proceeded to Max’s office so our headmistress could tell us about our enemies lurking outside.
Daisy told us of the famous Locke family. Our enemies lurking outside.
Taylor being the eldest, followed by the twin sisters, Taryn and Terry. Reginald was their little brother. The loose cannon.
Apparently, Taylor was a calm man but loved power. He is obsessed with it and that is his only love.
It got worse after he found his mate at the age of 25. A human mate.
He completed the mating ritual and the moon blessed them with rain that night.
6months later, a son was born but his mate didn’t survive. The Adam’s family believe he only mated with his human mate to produce an heir but he kept her locked up and treated badly to the point where she took her own life after being thrown out of Taylor’s pack grounds without her baby.
She was obviously going to die because humans who survive giving birth to pups eventually get sickly and die after some time.
The suicide was all speculation though. The Locke family were known for their brutal and barbaric lifestyle which earned them multiple visits from hunters but somehow, they always survived.
Anyone think of Vera?
No?
Just me?
My mother mentioned Vera and Daisy nodded.
Wasn’t just me then.
