the galaxy wolf

Just for Now

Alex Pov

She had to meet my mother. Zoey taught me the sign for mother and I knew I wanted to learn more. The way she lights up when I sign to her. It's intoxicating and I wanted to take her right here in front of my mother. I called my wolf Hades down and looked at my mate curiously. I wonder what her wolf was named.

I bent down in front of my moms grave and motioned for Zoey to join me. I watched her tilt her head and look at me curiously. I made sure she was looking at my face before speaking.

"I want to introduce you. My mother passed right before my sixteenth birthday." I was twenty four now. "My father was devastated. Hardly talking to anyone and taking out his anger on us. he never told anyone she died, even going as far too find a fake wife who looked like my mother. However about a year ago." I motioned to the grave next to my mother. "the rouges attacked again killing the fake." looking at my moms grave I put my hand on her stone.

"this is Zoey, she is my mate and future Luna." it was almost like my mother sent a sign because a small white dove had landed on her grave. confusion set into my mate whose feelings I could feel after marking her. I looked to my mate who was watching the bird curiously. I moved her face to look at me so I could speak to her. knowing she was deaf if I talked without Zoey looking at me she would never know. "My mothers favorite animal is a dove." I told Zoey and she smiled brightly at the bird.

Zoey put her hand out towards the dove, me thinking it would fly away was very surprised when the dove landed on her hand. The dove cooed at Zoey and even though Zoey couldn't hear the bird she chuckled. Zoey took her other hand and started to stroke the dove who was very content in this. Zoey turned to me with bright eyes and before she could even get a word out I spoke.

"yes we can keep her." I said and she jumped up and down. the dove flew just above her head in a happy way. I just stood there in awe of her. Did animals just love her like this? or was there something bigger at play here? I couldn't let myself question things for to long. I nodded to her and motioned to the car. Zoey smiled and nodded back silently understanding. I took her hand and started to lead her back to the car and the dove followed. I looked to my mate and once in the car with the dove on her lap I tilted her face to look at mine. "what are you going to name her?" I asked and she just shrugged.

I chuckled and leaned back in my seat just watching her interact with the dove. Zoey herself was just amazed at the bird. Almost as if they were having a silent conversation which was just bizarre in my opinion. I've heard of wolves that could talk to animals or control the elements but never meet one of them. My mate really was special if she could hear animals talking to her, yet she couldn't hear anything else. That made me curious but I would wait till we were at the house and after a few months maybe. give her time to adjust and time for me to learn her language.

Not long after departing from the cemetery we made it back to the pack house. I helped her out of the car where my father was waiting for us.

"where have you been and why does she have a dove?" My father asked somewhat bitterly. why was he angry all of a sudden.

"I took her to visit mom's grave after taking her out for some food. do you know she's never seen a fast food place? also I think she's special." I tried to tell my father about me thinking she was talking to a bird but he put his hand out.

"I know you think she is special but truth is she is just an alphas daughter. She has never trained and has never shifted according to her father. we don't know for sure if she shifted back in her father's territory. For all we know he could have been right. I only agreed with you so that way we could get home. There's something going on in that pack and we are going to find out what it is." My father said with a stern face. I was unsure if my mate could read his lips or not but she frowned. through the bond I tried to reassure her that everything would be okay.

you don't know that my mate.

Wait. What did I just hear in my head? I looked around curiously and she hadn't moved from looking at my father. could she have telepathically told me that? Since when did she have these abilities. I was so lost for words that my father's voice tore me from what ever trance I was in.

"I need to see her shift. Then I will determine what will happen. if she will be our future luna or just your mistress." there was no way she was going to be my mistress. I looked over frantically at my mate who had understood every word my father said. the dove landed on my mates shoulder nuzzling against her cheek. Zoey started to sign something but remembered we didn't know any sign. she then cleared her throat and started to speak.

"Not here. in a clearing where nobody can see us." She didn't trust my guards? but why? my father nodded before speaking.

"As you wish. let's go." He said taking off behind the pack house into the woods. not long we were in the clearing and my mate passed her dove onto my shoulder. the dove looked at me strangely but eventually settled. My mate disappeared behind a tree to take her clothes off and then the sound of bones cracking and breaking let me know she was shifting.

When a big brown wolf came out from behind the tree I was in shock. Looking at her she was almost as tall as me in wolf form. Her fur would move and show hints of purple and blues that I imagined looked just like my mark. I was in awe of her and dropped to the ground on my knees. My pack had heard of her packs prophecy but we didn't have one. She was just immensely powerful and my father looked angry. did he know something that I was in he dark about?
