The Last Royal Luna

I was only able to nap for about an hour so I ended up texting with the fab four. Everyone was jealous that Melissa got to hang with me and meet my new mate while helping with the coming war. Melissa didn’t agree. She bitched she had to deal with my diva a*s and that seeing my p***y whipped boys was not the best part of her day. She was so lying and I told her that while shaking my head with laughter. The guys kept staring at me but didn’t ask what we were talking about. They might have been a bit scared to even know which was a smart thing.

Parker did update us that he found a boyfriend in the wolf pack and he was the sweetest guy he had ever dated. The wolf’s mate had passed away before they even met so there was only a small chance of a second chance mate so Parker did good. He couldn’t want for us to meet him and I couldn’t wait to wipe the floor with him so he knew not to hurt my friend. Parker told me I wasn’t allowed to go all wolf or all royal on his a*s but I pretended to not get those text messages. Parker mentioned his name was Tony and he was one of the warriors so I made sure to link Asher, Andrew, and Blake about him to see what dirt they had on him. They had nothing useful as usual but would keep an ear out when they talked to their sister to see if the Omegas and Dexter made it there safely.

“We are almost there.” Kane told me dragging me from my book I was reading on my phone.

I looked out the window and saw what looked like woods that had caught fire. “What the hell happened here? Did he just let his pack lands go?” I looked at Kane.

“Those aren’t his lands. They border his and it seems that no one cared to fix anything after something happened. If I were guessing I would say a fight happened there between witches and wolves. Maybe even vampires but can’t tell that from just looking.” Knox answered as the rolled down his window to sniff the air.

The trees that still stood were charred and half dead. There weren’t many of them and the ground was black. It looked abnormal to be that black and with no new growth. There were no sounds and you couldn’t even see a flying bug so I was assuming no animals remained. It was like death came and stayed here until the job was done enough to be irreversible. I wanted to go out there and bring it back to life. My powers were pulling at me to do something.

“Who owns these lands? I need to fix this.” The twins and Edgar didn’t know so I was going to have to ask Asher or the Alpha of the pack we were seeing. They told me to hold back for now and maybe later we would come back to help nature.

“It looks to be like these on all the lands surrounding this pack. And when you see his they look like they are flourishing. I don’t think this is going to go well.” Edgar growled.

“I agree, my grouchy vampire.” I winked at him before looking back out the window.

‘Alistair what is the name of the coven you are seeing and what does the land look like around what they own?’ I had a hunch it would be like this all over and it wasn’t just from a selfish pack.

‘We are getting close and the lands look rough. I can scent out a few rogue vampires hiding out here which is making me nervous. It is even putting Charles on edge. The coven’s name is Coven of the White Willow. It is suppose to be this huge white willow tree you can see for miles but we haven’t seen it yet.’ I could hear the worry in his tone of voice and it was putting me even more on edge.

“I have a really bad feeling and I don’t think we will be getting any help from this town or the ones surrounding it. Keep your eyes and ears open for anything.” I stated. My mates felt my worry so Kane pulled me in close hugging me tight against him.

‘Keep me updated. I don’t think we will be getting anywhere from this pack so we will be hitting up a hotel sooner rather than later. If you need us let me know. Not one hair should be injured on Melissa. You got me? And let Charles know that includes his butt, too!’ Blue was growling at the thought of her friend hurt.

‘I would never let it happen and Charles snorted while laughing when I told him what you said. We may be joining you at the hotel so keep our link open as much as you can and keep us updated as well.’ I shook my head at them and just hoped I didn’t have to kick their butts.

We pulled into the long drive stopping at the gates and waited for someone to let us in. In a flash five warriors ran up and started sniffing around our cars. One of the asked us to get out and asked why we were here. I let Edgar and Asher handle it because I didn’t want to get started on why they needed five of them and I wanted to know what our vehicles smelled like. I knew we ran over a few skunks a few miles back.

When they got a mind link from their Alpha to let us through we hopped back into the vehicles and pulled forward. One of the warriors shifted and ran in front of our cars making us go slower than a dang snail. Kane was driving so Edgar put his hand on my leg and rubbed his thumb in circles.

“Listen Alistair is having second thoughts about the coven. The lands around theirs is like this and the landmark they are supposed to be able to see isn’t visible. It’s a huge tree and I think if the witches died or turned dark it would die. Let’s get this done and make sure we keep them and Charles safe.” The guys nodded and I texted my other mates the same thing so we were all clued in.

It took about fifteen minutes before we saw any houses and the lands looked great but compared to the perfect houses they paled. The houses were in perfect rows and they were all the same like someone copy and pasted them. They looked to be two stories, white with a green door, and two car attached garages. I felt like we were in an alternate universe and soon we would meet the pack members who all looked the same. I sure hoped not. I might freak out. I knew this thinking was crazy but it was keeping my mind busy from the negative feelings I had about how today was going to go and this fear in my gut that someone I love might get hurt.
