The Last Royal Luna

“I am ready to make a plan when you are.”

“Ok if the pack doesn’t let me train with them then I need to know a few packs around the palace to train with, but I need them to not mention me. I know anyone who smells me will know who I am so I am trying to stay away. I also need all the books from the palace on past battles, vampires, witches, and anything else that could be helpful rounded up and studied by trusted wolves. I will also need to know if anyone knows a trustable vampire or witch so I can look into the strategies they used or could use. “

Jared wrote it all down and smiled up at me. “I know a vampire who was a part of the war but only because he was forced into it. His master, the man who turned him, could still bend his will since he was such a young vampire but once he got older, he was able to fight back and now lives as a free vampire.”

“Anything we can get out of him would be great. That is all the plan I have for now until I talk to more wolves and get more information. I know you have a long way to go back home so I want to thank you for telling me about my mother. I don’t remember her except what I am told but I still miss my parents every day.” I gave Jared a hug which I think surprised him and walked him out to his car. He sounded excited to finally be able to get revenge for his family and restore order. I just hope that the trust we all put in him today was worth it.

When he had left we all went outside to talk and hang out. While out there my dad pulled me inside to speak to me.

“Ryder we have several things we want and need to tell you but we promised your parents it wouldn’t be until you turned 18 and noticed the differences that we could tell you. Count it as a test and training exercise. Now even though you’re a wolf and can shift the necklace made it so you senses were just as dull as a humans for many reasons. The main one is that you can’t be masked just a little but all the way so no other wolf can know who you are or what your are and vice versa. So tomorrow when you wake up your senses will be heightened and I want you to tell me what differences in the house you note.” He looked into my eyes and gave me a big hug. When he stood back he had tears in his eyes and that just wasn’t normal.

“Dad what is going on? I will do my best tomorrow but please stop crying. Your making me really worried and on top of that you won’t tell me anything. “ I was so confused by all of this but I really shouldn’t be. They only share so much of their past and how they met my parents. I have always wanted to know why they chose them as my parents. I like to think it is because they are so giving and caring plus dad is kick a*s with all his martial arts training. Even if I wasn’t a wolf no man would ever put his handsome since I could whip his behind.

“Everything is fine. I just can’t believe your going to be 18 tomorrow. I just wish you would stop growing already and maybe lost a few years so you can need me all the time.”

I chucked at him and kissed his cheek before heading out to my friends. They were discussing what to do that night and we all decided to rent a few movies to have a night in. I knew tomorrow all new problems would start and I needed to do that head on. For now though my only problems were what ice cream to get and what movie to watch first. Although while my friends ran to get the items we needed I did a quick shift and ran for a bit. I came up to a rock and heard a twig snap. I ran behind the rock and looked around me. I saw two wolves at the river and I could tell they weren’t the friendliest. I wish I had werewolf hearing right about now but of course not.

As I was getting ready to sneak off I heard the shift and when I turned around I could not believe my eyes. I saw the Alpha from the neighboring pack and my uncle on my adopted dads side. I could barely hear them but I heard enough to be scared and run. I heard them say my name and that I was a royal. I heard a bit of a plan that involved breeding and enslavement.

‘Blue what do we do? How could family turn on me?’ I screamed to her as I ran as fast and silently as I could.

‘ I have no idea baby girl but it will NOT happen. I will kill anyone who tries to take us or hurt us. I do know that we need to find a different pack that is close by for training since this one is all about money and power.’ I agreed with her and finally made it back home safely. I saw my friends and family waiting for me on the deck while my dad barbequed. I ran behind a tree to shift back and get dressed.

“Dad! Dad! Help me!” I yelled as I ran up the deck steps and stopped in front of everyone.

“What’s wrong honey?” He ran up to me and looked all over me to check for injuries.

“I am fine but when I was in the woods I saw your brother meet up with the Alpha from the neighboring pack. I overheard my name and how I was a royal so they wanted to use me for breeding and enslavement. How could he do that to me? I love him like my b***d and I thought he loved me!” At this point I broke down and sagged into my mother’s as I listen to my dad curse like a sailor.

“Don’t worry baby girl. My brother will never touch you and he will never be apart of your life in anyway from now on.” Dad quietly said as he made an excuse to go inside and call his mother. We trusted her and we needed some ideas on how to get my uncle out of my life.

After crying in my moms arms we all grabbed a plate to eat after my mom finished cooking for my dad and went inside to watch a movie. My friends all picked movies with kick a*s girls in them or the supernatural which made me roll my eyes. I put my worries to the side and enjoyed myself till my friends had to go home. Natalie stayed the night since her parents were out of town and she didn’t want to be alone. I was glad for the company.
