Moon Bound

Judah

As I guided Marisol throughout our home, I couldn't take my mind off of what had just happened. I am not sure if I should be concerned with the visions that she has been having. If it was something that brought her distress would she tell me? I couldn't help but think that if she was around Ben she would have confided with him on what she had saw.

While she was in the hypnotic state her nails gripped my forearm so hard that she ended up drawing blood. She didn't notice it then or when she was asleep earlier this morning. I don't mind it, but I feel that she would only be holding on this tight to me because she distress. I don't want to harass her about them, but I am just concerned that what she is seeing is unpleasant. I know that she receives visions to help pair wolves with one another. I can only pray to the moon goddess that those are the visions that she is receiving.

The door to the room that I lead her to could eventually be our pups nursery, but right now it is just a room that is full of random things that need to be organized. When we step inside my eyes immediately find the glass enclosed bookcase showcases ten tiaras.

She releases my hand, as she stares at the precious items in awe. She slowly steps towards them, and I quickly follow in her footsteps. I watch her face as she reacts to each of them, her pointer finger lightly touching the glass as she observes each one.

She makes comments for each one, saying one is elegant and another beautiful, but she doesn't give any of them a second glance.

I see when she finds the one that she wants, a gasp escapes her lips as she places the palm of her hand on the glass in front of it.

"It's even more beautiful in person." She whispers.

The tiara that she is looking at is the one that I made when I turned ten. The one that she was wearing in the vision that Benjamin showed me.

She turned me, her stunning smile lighting up my entire world. "The silver one with the blue sapphires. They match your beautiful eyes."

I swallow the lump in my throat before nodding. I wrap my arm around her shoulders, pulling her into my chest. "That is the first tiara that I had ever made. I showed my mother, and told her that it wasn't perfect. She let me know that my mate would appreciate the effort that I put into making it just for her."

She wrapped her arms around my middle. “I do. I think it’s perfect.”

“I will make sure that there will be dresses that match the tiara here tonight, and the morning of the ceremony there will be a few pack members here to help you get ready.” I state before placing a kiss on her forehead.

She looks up at me. "I am sure that it is going to be beautiful." She bites her lip before turning away from me. "We should probably go visit Benjamin."

I nod before reaching out to my Beta via mind link.

"Marisol and I are on our way to where Benjamin is. Make sure that we don't run into any pack members"

I don't want any of the pack members to interact with Marisol until after she has been officially acknowledged as my Queen. If anyone tried to make her feel less than before she is given the confirmation there would be no going back. I wouldn't be open to giving them a second chance, or a lighter punishment. I would simply kill them. The last thing that I need is having a member of my pack trying to feed into my Marisol's insecurities. If they cannot respect her as my mate and their Queen then they have no business being apart of this pack.

We walk throughout the pack grounds hand in hand. The only person that I see on our way to where we are going is my beta, Charlie.

When we make it to Benjamin and Izumi's sleeping quarters a hard look from Marisol let me know that a second round of me pounding on their door would not be appreciated. I raise my hands in surrender before she knocks gently on the door.

After a few seconds the door swings open and Izumi steps into the doorway. "Ben is just getting dressed, he was just on his way to meet up with you guys."

Marisol smiled at her before letting go of my hand to give her a hug. They stayed in their embrace until Benjamin walked out of the door and closed it. “Good morning Marisol, now give me back my love.” He said before tugging on Izumi’s waist and pulling her into his side.

Both girls giggled at his actions but I didn’t find any amusement from him.

I grabbed Marisol’s hand once again. “We all need to go back to have another meeting, I need to know how things went with the moon goddess.”

Ben quickly made eye contact with me before nodding, all of his playfulness has disappeared. He turned to Izumi. “There is an art studio in the pack house. I don’t want you to have to lounge around waiting for me all day.”

Izumi’s eyes widened. “Really? I would love that.”

I turned to her to give her my full attention. “I will have one of my pack members meet you here to take you to there. After we are done I’m sure Benjamin will want to meet up with you to catch you up on what we are doing.”

I quickly mind linked one of my pack members, Anna. She also has a passion for art so I’m sure the two of them will get along quickly.

Ben leaned down to kiss her on the cheek once more. “Thank you for the show of hospitality my King, but we must get to the meeting.” He let go of Izumi and started to walk to where the others are. After Marisol said her goodbyes to Izumi we immediately followed.

It didn’t take long for us to get to where we are holding the meeting, and I make sure not to let go of Marisol’s hand so she can't attempt to sit by herself.

Once we all get settled Benjamin cleared his throat. “I met with the moon goddess last night, and gave her all of the information that we have. The only thing she would tell me is that everything will work out the way it should.”

I see how tense everyone in the room gets once Benjamin stops speaking. Cole especially. He is the one who originally wanted to use my mate's connection to the moon goddess thinking that it would give us a great advantage. Now learning that the only thing she has to say is that what is meant to happen will happen is very disheartening to hear.

Sofia sighs. “So we just walk into this situation blind? This is ridiculous.” She begins to shake her head. "This doesn't make any sense."

I narrow my eyes at her. Yes, I am the one who invited her to these meetings, because I know that she can provide us with valuable information. It is unfortunate, because I want her far from my mate at all times.

Marisol begins to lightly stroke my arm that is around her waist, causing me to take my eyes off of Sofia and stare at her instead. I bury my face in her hair, taking a deep inhale savoring her scent before speaking. "We will soon be having the coronation for my Marisol. She will officially be crowned our Queen."

There were genuine smiles and bows around the room. Even from Ben and Sofia, but that won’t save her from my wrath.

I begin to stroke Marisol's hair. “Along with the coronation, those who have caused Marisol distress will also be dealt with in a public punishment of my choosing.”

The smirk on my face grew as Sofia’s eyes widened before nodding, accepting the consequences for her actions. I doubt that Marisol’s family will be so unfazed.

Marisol’s hand flew up to my shoulder and squeezed. “No.”

“I have already told you that anyone who has disrespected you-“

“You told me that if I don’t decided the punishment that you will, and I will be the one to decided the punishment.”

I nodded. I was curious to what Marisol might have conjured up as a punishment for those who have wronged her. I know she’s gentle but there’s got to be some vindictive side to her, and I can’t wait to see it.

The smirk on my face grew even bigger at the thought of Marisol having a different side to her. “Since Sofia is here right now, why don’t you tell her what her consequences will be.” I suggest.

Marisol turned her body in my lap so she was facing Sofia.

The room had gone completely quiet, everyone was anticipating what she was going to say. They knew if she told me to put Sofia to death I would have no problem with it. Head warrior or not she disrespected my Marisol, and that will not go unpunished.

“You are to be Benjamin and Izumi’s tour guide for however long that they like.” She announced.

The smirk fell from my face, a tour guide?

Benjamin laughed out loud. “Thank you Marisol, I’m sure Izumi will love this.”

Annoyance ran through my body at his antics, but I couldn’t help but laugh at the same time. Marisol has been nothing but soft and caring, I don’t know why I thought that she was going to do something like actually take revenge against another wolf.

Sofia nodded. “Thank you Luna, I accept this punishment.”

I rolled my eyes, I’ll get some sort of revenge on her during training soon. “You have all been dismissed, if you come up with anything at all that might help us all don’t hesitate to reach out to me.”

They all nodded and started to get up and leave.

Marisol hoped out of my lap. “Except you Benjamin! You need to stay we need to talk.”

My muscles tighten, and I start to feel worthless. She is about to confide to another male about her visions when I’m right here wanting to help her, ready to hear her out.

Ben turns to Sofia. “Don’t worry Izumi and I will need you a lot shortly.” He turned back to Marisol and winked at her. “Thank you.”

I get up to leave the room as well but I’m stopped when Marisol stands directly in front of me. “Where are you going? Sit down we need to talk!”

I couldn’t help the surprised look that comes across my face, as Marisol placed her hands on my chest and slowly guided me to sit down once again.

She climbed back into my lap before nuzzling her face into my neck.

Benjamin rolled his eyes before saying. “Ew you know Marisol it would be courteous if the two of you would cut the PDA out.”

I let out a low growl but and silence by Marisol peppering small kisses onto my neck. “Get over it Benjamin, you’ll be seeing a lot of this.” I command.

“Alright, alright. What is it we need to talk about anyways?”

“Last night I had a weird dream, it was kind of like the visions that I get but it was long. I don’t remember all of it, but when I am relaxed I see some parts of it. It doesn’t feel like a regular vision that I would get when I need to help pair someone this just feels, different.” Marisol explained.

Benjamin takes the seat next to us, just as intrigued at what she was saying as I am. “Tell me about it.”

“This woman, Arabella is her name, I think she’s a witch she was looking through books, and then she came home to a small house in the woods and her and her friend were talking about magic and doing something dangerous. That’s all I remember, but I think there’s more and when she said dangerous all I can think about is this war we have going on. I just need to write down what I’ve seen so far, and keep on writing until I have the full story.”

Benjamin nodded. “You said they only come to you when you were relaxed tell me where you were when you had them.”

“First I was asleep in bed with Judah, then I took a warm bath and then the last one happened when I was half asleep in his lap this morning.”

I was expecting a snarky comment to come from Ben but all he did was nod his head. He placed his elbow on the table and I could almost see the wheels turning in his head.

I was so distracted from watching him that I didn’t even try and think of a solution to get Marisol her whole vision.

He slapped his hand against the table. “So the two of you just need to cuddle and relax, and hopefully that will trigger the rest of your vision.”

I nodded, it was a simple solution, but it made sense. I lift up Marisol, before standing up. “I have a few notebooks at our home, so you can write down everything that needs to be written down. When we have the full picture, or at least what the vision may be about we will inform everyone else. If she is a witch she may not be a mate to a wolf, but still can be the key to helping us against the witches. Once you receive the rest of the vision we will know."

They both quickly agreed.

The moon goddess said things will work out the way that they should, and this vision may be the thing that will help us turn the tide into our favor.
