I feel the warmth leave my body and feel a different presence as I open my eyes but everyone else looks oblivious to it. I look at Max who is busy talking to his beta. I close my eyes again and I feel it again.
Moon goddess.
“Moon goddess….” I say to her and the warm feeling gets stronger, as if it was coming closer to me.
“You have a peculiar way in seeing things lovely niece. However, you are right. I’ve been meddling in their affairs so I’m going to meddle in yours because the man out there was your nana’s problem to fix. It seems she refuses to do so, now you have to.” She says to me.
“What do you mean?” I say to her. I had no idea where she was so I was just talking to darkness. The warm presence was enough to tell me I was in her presence.
“I will aid in the renewal of your energy because you have to defeat that man. Even if he is your uncle, which he is, he is evil. He has killed my wolves, tormented and tortured them for his own gain. I could show you the plans he has for you but that won’t help anyone. He is selfish and even though he is angry at your grandmother, he needs to pay for what he has done to others and humbled before them before he can have a go at my sister.” She says to me.
This was all too much. Yes, he might be my uncle, he may be family but I had to protect this pack. I had to show him that his oppressive ways end here and that I won’t allow any more people to become pawns at his game to get back at my nana. Enough people have died and that was that.
“Give me the energy and I will do it. I will put an end to his plans. Enough people have died. I will not let him harm any more wolves.” I say to her.
I feel an overwhelming warmth around my body and within seconds it’s gone.
“Now, heal yourself and end this for good. I have bigger plans for my wolves and they include that pup inside you.
The warmth disappeared and I focused on healing myself. I felt renewed.
I was healed but I felt different. I felt powerful and unstoppable.
I opened my eyes to see Max looking at me.
“I’m okay.” I say to him and he nods at me.
“I can feel it. You’re amazing, you know that?” He says to me and I just smile. I pull him in for a brief kiss but he returns it with so much passion. Before he could try probing his tongue in my mouth, I pull away.
“More of that later alpha” I say to him with a glint of mischief in my eyes. He places his open palm on my belly and smiles.
“I’m counting on it.” He says and I get up and face my pack. It was time to address them on what I had to do and that I needed them to stay back and let me fight for them.
“Green Forrest pack, I cannot thank you enough for showing insane bravery today. I am proud to be your Luna and to have been able to fight alongside you all but right now I’m going to need you all to stand back.” I said to everyone.
Hushed murmurs of disagreement went around the room and Max stood up and grabbed my hand gently. He growled loudly making everyone stop their hushed whispers and look at him.
“You are all aware that this fight was at an unfair advantage. Lycans are stronger than wolves but some of our friends and families are dead. Wolves did that and we can’t lose any more fighters. As you have seen, our Luna is gifted. If anyone can bring the pack victory, it is my mate. Now I support her decision and as your alpha, I expect you all to do the same.” He speaks.
I couldn’t believe it. He was letting me fight and not trying to prevent me from going out there. He looks down at me and smiles.
“I know better than to keep you locked up in here. Besides, you are the only one that can end this. If what you did out there not so long ago doesn’t prove that, I don’t know what will. Just make sure you come back to me.” He says and I pull him in for a kiss.
I pull away and find everyone looking at us.
Okay. Awkward.
Dig up a hole. Sink in slowly and stay there.
“Sabrina, are you sure about this?” My father asks me, snapping me out of my embarrassed thoughts.
He’s standing next to uncle Deacon and they look pretty beat up. My mind wandered to what would’ve happened had Josey and I not intervened when we did. What would’ve happened if Cj didn’t get to his mate in time. My father was weakened right now and that gave me even more motivation to go out there and fight to the end.
“Papa, only I can do this. The moon goddess said it. I will explain it all to you when it’s all over but what I can tell you is that this man is like me, like Josey and I and if we don’t end it, he could be a problem to all of you.” I say to my dad and then throw him a look that’s pleading with him to ask no more questions.
“You do what you have to do little moon. I’m tapping out of this one and letting the young ones take over. I don’t know about you Christopher, but I just got my ass handed to me. I’m in no mood to have a repeat of that.” Uncle Deacon says.
My father sighs and nods at me. My uncle was right, they were in no condition to fight. We heard a loud roar outside the pack house and I immediately ran out, followed by Max, Josey, Cj and his mate.
Right there in the clearing was my new uncle who had my mother by the neck and my nana pleading with him to let my mama go.
