Chapter A Mate Bond
I get startled out of my thoughts to a knock on the door and out of instinct I smell a wolf. From his scent, just some warrior sent to collect us to see who is in their territory. I get up and answer the door.
"Luna Azula, welcome. My Alpha would like to invite you and your guests to our pack house for dinner." The wolf says.
I have him wait as I get the guys. We have no choice but to accept. If we don't, it can show an act of war. We head over and hope that things are going to end well here. My brother's pack has a peace treaty with them and I believe Ryanne does too. I can't help but to feel on edge.
"Az! Holy shit! I know I heard the rumors and some things your brother told me at our last meeting, but damn. A Luna and with the originals? What do I owe this honor?" My old friend says while greeting me with a hand.
"Can say I'm surprised a little myself. Alpha now and mated to Maya. Wish I could say its great to see you Tank." I know he's heard things too.
"Ryanne's Betta has been running the pack for a bit now. He was holding on to knowing if you were okay. His mother and brother are missing as well. Actually, everyone who has angel in them are missing. I am guessing you are here to fix things." He looks me over.
"Headed back to my brother's land and then I can. I need the numbers though. Feel free to join in a fight you can't forget." I say as the men join us in his office.
"Please, welcome. You two should make yourselves at home. Its an honor to have you all. Luna, I believe the treaties between Ryanne's pack and mine say to help eachother in times of war. So you have my men. Even if that treaty didn't call for that, you'd have them." He smiles at us.
Before I knew it the she-devil herself walks in. I break-through momentarily silence, "Hello, Luna Maya."
"Oh, AZ, we both are Lunas now! Just call me Maya like old times." She has a sinister way about her as she goes and sits in Tank's lap.
"We should also speak with the Clan leader. Would you know how we may get in touch with him?" Vlad asks and his accent shows more than usual.
'She's a vampire killer. She masks the scent so the other wolves can't smell it. A recent kill even.' Vlad somehow links to me.
'I figured as much. I sensed something about her when she came in myself.' I reply.
'Lycious, can you distract them here while we meet with the clan? Because of her, I am thinking peace is not a thing with all wolves now.' Vlad links to us. While we are still talking and getting information about where the clan is with Tank.
'Yes, let's say its urgent and make an excuse to stay. I will say it is rude to if any of them leave my presence. If they make even an excuse to go to the bathroom, I will link you two.' Lycious's voice rings to us.
"Alpha, Luna, we should have dinner. Entertain me while my Brother and our kin, AZ, here go speak to to the clan and their leader. Invite your Betta and Gamma with their mates. We can go over your defenses and more about this pending doom we have upon us!" He gives them a laugh.
Vlad and I leave out, some of the men feel the need to follow. "Tank, please, we don't need a tail talking to vampires. Plus, you've heard the rumors, I am way more scary than anything that can be out there."
"Sorry, its their habit. Boys, no need to protect these two while they are here. They are respectful and can take care of themselves, hell, if there was an attack, you'd only get in her way." Tank laughs at his men.
We head out on foot to where the clan sits on the other side of the territory. The clan house was the same size as the pack house. They sat as equals, but one Luna was trying to ruin that.
