Brecon Moon

Arianrhod P.O.V Arianrhod woke up with a loud knocking on her bedroom door. It was her brother Taliesin; she just knew it. Her little, peewee brother, an annoying little turd, if ever there was one. Taliesin was 11 and Arianrhod was due to turn 18 tomorrow. She is destined to be the future Alpha of Brecon moon. The first female alpha of Wales. Goddess, she was eager to get started. Taliesin shouts through the door " Ari, what if you find your mate when you turn 18? Will you have to leave our pack? I couldn't cope if you left our pack​left me!" Arianrhod has had to put up with his whining now for weeks on end. " I am going to be the Alpha of Brecon Moon pack and my mate will have to be my Muna. If he is already an Alpha then, well, then I’m F****d!" "ARIANRHOD GWENNAN JONES!! HOW DARE YOU USE THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF YOUR BROTHER! YOU SHOULD BE SETTING AN EXAMPLE NOT SCREAMING PROFANITIES!" Screeched her mother, Luna Olwen. Her father Alpha David comes trundling up the stairs behind his Luna, "profanities? who is using profanities? IN MY PACK HOUSE!!" "Me! Dad, for goddess’s sake!" Arianrhod huffed. "DON'T YOU SWEAR ON CERIDDWEN'S NAME ARIANRHOD, WE RAISED YOU BETTER THAN THAT!" Luna Olwen bellowed. " Now, get yourself dressed, go eat some breakfast and meet me at the garage in an hour, we are going to go shopping for a party dress", Sighing heavily, Arianrhod dragged her backside out of bed and jumped into the shower. She hated dress shopping with a passion, she was going to be the greatest female Alpha of all time. Known for the strength of her pack and the enemies that feared her! "Dress shopping indeed" she muttered to herself as the hot water started to ooze out of the shower and caress her every pore. Washing her hair was Arianrhod's favourite thing, she always took her time to massage her head gently, slowly rinsing the soap suds out. But today, someone had other ideas. Her best friend came barging into the bathroom, "HOLY S**T TRAVIS, GET THE F**K OUT DUDE, I'M NUDE! You p*****t" Travis not paying any attention to the words coming out of Ari's mouth, could not take his eyes off the goddess that stood in front of him. Her porcelain skin, the slight pinkish hew that had appeared on her cheeks out of embarrassment, her gorgeous, golden locks. God I really hope I'm her mate he thought! Travis turning 18 just 24 hours after Arianrhod, prayed to the Celtic Moon Goddess Ceriddwen every night for just that! She jumped out of the shower, grabbed a towel off the rail and pushed her way passed Travis muttering something about personal space and human decency! Travis didn't care, he had loved her forever. Travis’s mother Beta Rhiannon was Luna Olwen's best friend, they were in Labour together and had raised Ari and Travis together, forging that best friend bond in infanthood. Travis had always clung to Ari like glue. The Luna and Beta female always speculated that he was Ari's mate. And let’s be honest here, they secretly hoped so too! Rushing downstairs fully dressed, with five minutes left to spare of her mother's meet me in an hour demand, she runs into the kitchen and grabs a handful of waffles from Mrs Williams hands, then grabs the orange juice that Travis throws to her. Racing out of the house to get to the garage on time. " 2 minutes late Arianrhod, and can you not eat like a heathen in my car! any crumbs and you will be hoovering them up. no paying poor Taliesin to do your chores either!" "Oh, this day is going to be a hoot" Ari bites back. Knowing full well her bark is worse than her bite and her mother will ground her until her birthday if she doesn't behave. "Guess we will be stopping for you to eat some proper food after we have shopped then" her mother uttered. "After?! I thought we could go for a brunch first then 2 shops, then lunch another shop and then home for Mrs Lewis' minted lamb chop dinner!" Ari retorted. "Not on your nelly, missy" her mother scolded. Hmmmf... As they turn up to the multi-story car park, Luna Olwen lets out a squeal of delight, "I just cannot believe we are here to get your eighteenth birthday dress. Ari babes, this is where I bought the first ever outfit you wore as a baby." tears leaked out of Luna Olwen's eyes. “oh, for the love of all that is holy mother, snap out of it!" Ari bellowed, "I will not partake in this tiresome charade if you are going to blub every 30 seconds!! Come on, let’s get this over with ASAP!" Luna Olwen stiffens and says “future Alpha Arianrhod, you should know better. This is a right of passage that no female in this pack has had the privilege to do, EVER! You are my strong willed, beautiful daughter and you will wear a dress on your 18th birthday! Your father has invited a few alphas along with their betas and gammas to our pack for your party, if any of the alpha's are your mate, you will become a Luna to their pack and Tal will be our Alpha. Not that I believe it will happen, but we shall see. I would give everything to see my baby girl crowned alpha of our pack!” "OH NO, CUT THE CRAP, NO MORE CRYING, MAM, HONESTLY! This is beyond a joke now". Luna Olwen pulls herself together; "well I for one am hoping you are mated to a Beta or a Gamma. Well, one Beta in particular!”; she says with a wink wink, nudge nudge to her daughter. "Who?!" exclaims Ari. " Travis of course" says her mother gleefully! " Ergh nope, pass. He is my best friend and my future Beta to Brecon Moon. Plus, Nia is so obviously Tal's mate, even though they are both only eleven, we cannot be mated to a brother / sister pair, that's gross!" Miraculously our mothers caught pregnant at the same time again and Tal and Nia were born on the same day within minutes of each other. Destined Mates, for sure. Travis POV As I walk into my best friend’s room, I can hear the shower running, I shout “Hey Ari!” no answer. So, I sneak a bit closer; I know major stalker vibes, but she is my best mate, has been since the day I was born. She is one day older than me, and she is the daughter of my Alpha. I am the Beta’s son. I barge into to the bathroom, her bathroom; she is stood n***d in the shower, the shampoo suds in her hair are running down over every delectable curve on her porcelain body. She is exquisite! Eh I love her so much and all she can do is shout at me and call me a p*****t. But I could not take my eyes of this perfect goddess in front of me. I really hope we are fated mates so that she stays in this pack and becomes the first female Alpha. Our pack deserves her kindness, humility, and strength. Oh, my goddess, I’m whipped! Luna Olwen P.O.V This girl is such a nightmare to take clothes shopping. So far, she has wanted, a pair of trainers, jogging bottoms and some sweatbands. NO, NO, NO!!! "AHEM... you need a dress and some heels doll!" “uh, how about no! I'd rather walk into my party in my birthday suit! Travis has already seen me nude this morning, so who cares right?" “TRAVIS HAS WHAT NOW?" "He barged in on me in the shower this morning mam, I told him to leave but he just stood there staring at me and my lady bits." "We shall see about that now! I shall speak to his mother! How dare he undress my daughter with his eyes!!?” “Mam, I was already undressed" Using this to her advantage, Ari suggested they go to a coffee shop for some tea and cake to calm me down, and so she could get a toastie and a maHOOsive slice of cake to eat, no doubt!! She's good I’ll give her that. After our pit stop, we ended up in Miss Selfridge, Ari agreeing to at least try on a few dresses if they weren't "pukey pink", if you please! Thankfully, she went and picked up one little black dress with a side split, a gold toga-like dress and a gorgeous red number that hugged her every curve and suited her skin tone. "The Red one is my favourite "I offer my opinion. Ari reckons the black is more 'her' and demurer. I chime in with "If your father sees you in that black dress, he will send you to the seamstress to find out where the rest of it has gone!" Chuckling, Ari agrees and says "I am only ever going to say this once, so you'd best mark this down somewhere. Here goes, I Think you are right mum, the red dress is the one!" I am flummoxed, lost for words. Absolutely speechless, did my teenage daughter just say I was right? I just nod my head and point to the shoe section, "time for some heels to match." Ari shrugs her shoulders as if to say if I must. Oh, my baby girl is all grown up and wanting to shop Arianrhod P.O.V As If I just told my mother that she was right. I cannot believe those words came out of my mouth. I know she wanted to hug me when I said it, but instead she went all coy and just pointed at the shoes. Not that I'm going to complain, if I comply with her demands maybe she will buy me the trainers and gym gear I wanted too. All I have to say is that "your future Alpha needs to keep herself in shape as well as look pretty on her eighteenth!" that'll do the trick. "Mum, I think these black shoes will do!" "ABSOLUTELY NOT ARIANHOD! 1 INCH HEELS? NO! I want to see at least a 3inch heel on you in that dress or it just won't sit right." "okay mum, but after this can we...?" Mum butted in with “WE ARE NOT GOING FOR ANYMORE FOOD ARIANRHOD, YOU ARE A BOTTOMLESS PIT GIRL! “Actually mum, I was going to ask if we can grab that gym gear and maybe a birthday present for Travis too before we go home! I will not ruin my appetite; I LIVE for Mrs Lewis' lamb chop dinner!! “Happy with the mere mention of future Beta Travis and mum buckles to my will. Haahaa Hhaaahhaaaaa I win this round. DING DING round two!! As we pull up at the house, Travis' little sister Nia comes running out. Luna Olwen, Luna Olwen, come quick. Mamma is hurt, bad!" Hearing this Luna Olwen and Ari both speed off to the pack hospital to see Beta Rhiannon. "What happened?" declares the Luna. Alpha David steps forward and grabs his wife into a strong hold." We were attacked by rogues while we were on our morning run after training. Beta Rhiannon, was at the back, cajoling all the slow coaches and telling them to stick a rocket up their orifices before she does it for them! They targeted the back of the pack run first. Rhi, shifted instantly and told the others to run. Five of the youngest men, disobeyed their Beta female to assist but they were young warriors and sadly we lost two. Beta Rhiannon, fought strongly, ripping their heads off and mauling their sides. but she was overpowered babe, there were too many of them. by the time I had been mind-linked by a senior pack member she had killed 10 men on her own and she was being circled by another 5. Me and Beta Arawn quickly despatched of those five and He scooped Beta Rhiannon up bridal style and rushed her here. One of the men must have been human as he had a silver knife to defend himself with and he caught Beta Rhiannon in both sides on a few occasions. She lost a lot of blood, and the Silver is preventing the wounds from heeling. However, Dr Morrison has it all under control."
