Shadow Luna

CH.18 Convention of Healing

Survivor POV

I stay attached to my new friend Holly. She was the one next to me when I was transitioning. I have not been able to talk to no one. I was so scared of this new world. I can’t believe I have been so naïve to what was really going on around me. I could not trust anyone or look anyone in the eye. The floor has been my constant, my only way of knowing what is real or not. Holly is so strong; she asks the questions and makes sure that we are not separated.

We were given a ride into the royal pack for a survivors ‘healing’ convention. I feel nervous and a little happy that I am meeting others who went through the same thing me and Holly went through. I heard that the lead speaker was one of us but instead was tortured by the Alpha Rogue himself. I have personally taken one of his beating, only once, and it was so much worst than what his men were doing. And he was doing that to her every day. I am already broken enough as it is and here, she is helping others instead of cowering in fear.

We finally pull up to a resort looking place with signs everywhere and people with clip boards taking everyone in. Some girls almost look like me and Holly, always looking around and clinging onto their survivor buddies. A nice-looking red head lady came up to our car waiting for us to stop. She had a clip board in her hand and an encouraging smile. Holly help me get out and we both stood in front of her. I looked at her shoes and we both were wearing adidas in black and white. I felt my face twitch as if it wanted to smile.

“Hi, welcome to the royal pack, my name is Cam. I will be your small group leader with other ladies here for healing. If you have any questions or need to talk to someone, I am here for you. I am also a survivor. This is a safe place.” She said and I finally looked at someone in the eyes. She had nice hazel eyes. They seemed caring, hopeful, genuine. My face twitched again, and I think Holly was shocked with my reactions. “Here are your packets, they have your schedule, maps, keys to your room, and emergency contact numbers. Head on over to your rooms and freshen up or take a nap. Our first gathering will be for dinner. Dress comfortably.” She said still smiling.

“Thank you” I whispered.

“Um… yes thank you Cam. See you at dinner.” Holly said guiding me to a bench to sit and go through the packet. I sat down and opened my packet. I was so happy to see that Holly and I share the same room and schedule. So much easier to handle a new environment. Everyone seems much calmer in here.

“I really have a good feeling about this!” Holly squealed. I am so happy that she still has her bubbly side. She keeps me at peace.

“Me too. I dose seem more inviting and homier.” I said. We both took our bags and our packets and made our way to our room. When we entered it was a nice round room with two full size beds with sheer curtain draping. There was a TV on one wall and a bathroom with an amazing soaking tube.

“This must be what heaven looks like.” I say out loud. I heard my wolf willow chuckle. She has kept me sane every time I was close to a panic attack.

“Hey, you want to soak in the tube first, I don’t mind, I have some binge watching to do.” Holly said and chuckled the last part.

“Thanks, I know it will help me. I am still so tense even though my wolf tells me I am ok and in a safe place.” I say going back into the bedroom and getting my stuff out of my bag.

“Hey… it’s going to take time. I heard that this…” She paused to grab the pamphlet and read it. “Luna Annabelle says that we have become stronger than our former selves because now we are freakin WEREWOLVES!” Holly waved her hands around for further emphasis. I just giggle and shake my head at her.

“If you say so. How much time do we have until dinner?” I asked

“two hours give or take. But don’t worry take your time, Ill just have a quick shower when your done.” She said and waved me off so she can sit on her bed and watch some TV.

After getting ready for dinner, which I opted to wear just jeans and a t shirt, were Holly is wearing a simple floral dress with a cardigan and flats. We went into the dinning hall where we all settle into our seats on long benches. When the room filled up and everyone was settled the room became quiet and all eyes went to the platform at the end of the hall. There stood a strong buff looking guy, very intimidating especially since he was giving off a strong arura.

“All rise for his royal highness King Daxton!” He announced and we all stood. Then a really tall broad man came onto the platform and sat at the middle of the table. Then the announcer motioned for us to sit and we all did. The announcer sat to Kings left and then a beautiful exotic looking woman with pale skin and black long straight hair came and sat next to the king and another buff man with dark hair came and sat next to her. We all started eating and talking. I guess there are about a hundred of us and we all have been divided into 4 groups.

It was Saturday and we had to get up early for training. I guess fighting is a basic instinct in most wolves, but there are some that only know the basics for self defense purposes. I found it enriching and a boost of confidence take over. I felt stronger than ever. Almost like a wall broke down. The meals where amazing, the small groups and activities were enlightening, I felt renewed. I finally felt free of my traumas. I even went up to my group leader, Cam, and asked if it was possible to transfer to the Luna’s pack. I felt an urge to follow her and I know I am not the only one.

That night at our goodbye they announced that all those that wish to transfer to the Shadow pack with the Luna are more than welcome and a bus would be waiting to transport us there. I was thrilled, Holly was too. She saw a difference in me and declared that now we are sister at arms. I was laughing now and smiling, something I thought I would never be able to do again. There was a new air around us. We found comfort and healing. I am just excited to start me new life.

The next morning Holly and I loaded the bus and made our way to our new pack. There were two bus loads of us and plenty of guards escorting us. I guess they took our security seriously. It was a long drive and I managed to sleep through most of it. I woke up to Holly nudging me. We all made our way out of the busses and in line in front of the Luna, Alpha and another Blonde girl, with two more buff guys next to them. Then I smelt the most intoxicating scent. It was cranberries and pine, almost smells and feels like Christmas. I stood still not know what to do but take deep breath and enjoy this scent. Then one of the buffy guys started walking closer to me. I was captivated by his features. He was tan with dark brown hair and chocolate eyes. A square jaw with a light stubble on it. I wanted to see what it felt like the crease that velvet jaw of his. He was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. He stopped right in front of me and I can feel his hot breath on me. His scent was becoming overwhelming. Then I heard willow say ‘mate’ and start jumping in joy in my head.

He smiled and took my hand into his. “Hello beautiful, what is your name?” He asked and I felt my body begin to burn with desire from the mere sound of his voice.

“Um…Cindy Douglas.” I managed to breath out.

“Cindy Douglas, it is very nice to meet you. My name is Andrew Wittman, I am the pack Delta.” He said and kissed my knuckles. I heard that this is what happens between mates. This is so intense and felt so right. “I am so happy that I finally found you. Would you like to take a walk and get to know each other better? I nodded and let go of Holly. I forgot that she was right next to me and I let Andrew take my hand and lead me away from the group.

“I know that this is all new to you and, like the Luna, you have been through a great deal. I just want you to know that we can go at your own pace and let me show you that this new life of your can be beautiful and fun, and… full of love. So… with that said let’s play 20 questions and then I can lead you to your new room until you feel comfortable with me. I just want you to know that I vow here in now to always care for you, protect you, and make everyday full of happiness.” Andrew said.

“Thank you, Andrew.” I said in a hush tone. I was so nervous around him. Nothing like this has ever happened to me, not even in high school. I never had a boyfriend; I am an orphan.

“Call me Drew.” He smiled and I smiled back. I guess this is a beautiful start to a better life.

Annabelle POV

I could not believe it, the minute we start to accommodate all the she-wolves that came back with us Drew had to find his mate.

“Well I guess the team is finally together. Glade Drew can finally join the club.” Colten said.

“Finally! More help for us, huh Bell.” Angelica nudged me.

“I am just happy that another transitioned survivor found her happiness. And yes, I am sure she is going to be our best friend too Angie.” I said to them and began my way to our new pack members.

“Hello Ladies. Welcome to Shadow Pack. The Alpha and I have planned your living quarters. If you, please make a single file line other here.” I point to in front of Angelica. “Our Beta female, Angelica will give you your room assignments and a pack member will show you the way. Remember there will be a BBQ tonight in celebration of your arrival. There we will perform the ritual linking you to the pack. Go now and rest.” I announce with Colten at my side. I look up at him and I can see all the pride and love he has for me. He leans close to my ear and whispers “You look so sexy when you are in leader mode.” I felt shivers run down my spine and instantly feel the need for him. I bit my tongue preventing a moan to slip. Then he bends down swoops me off my feel and throws me over his shoulder.

“COLTEN! What are you doing? Put me down!” I say in a surprised squeal. He slaps the back of my ass.

“Stop squirming, or I will take you right here.” He says and I know he has a smirk on his face. I huff and just let him carry me.

“Babe you know I am tired and just want to go take a nap.” I whine.

“Nope, you were tired all weekend and I need to make sweet loving to my beautiful mate. I’ve been good and now I want my reward.” He says. It’s not wrong, he had been taking such good care of me and not pushy with s*x.

We get into our room and he kicks the door closed behind him and throws me on the bed. He crawls on top of me and starts kissing me passionately, hungry. His desire evident with every touch. I start ripping his clothes off because I need to feel his bare skin on mine. I want him, need him inside me. His mouth and hands are like magic electrifying my body. He rips my cloths off and now we are completely naked rubbing and creasing each other.

“Bell, my beautiful Bell. I love you.” Colten breaths hard and nestles nicely in between my legs.

“I love you Colten, Please…I need you.” I breath hard moving my hips. He then thrusts into me hard and deep. I shut my eyes and let him take me, over and over and over again.
