Forest Pack Community Book One (COMPLETED)

chapter 10

A few minutes later she came down the stairs holding her dress. Felicia got up and zipped it up for her. She then went back and sat down. She was there for moral support and to give ideas if she had any.

Niomi stepped into the kitchen and said, “Mom it fits perfectly everywhere but my boobs. If my boobs were bigger it would be perfect. I talked to cook about gaining weight and she said she’d help but I’m not so sure that it will work. Help me momma.”

Her mom stood up and walked around her examining the top. She saw that Niomi needed more padding and yes more boob. She reached for one of Niomi’s boobs that was in her bra. “Felicia please go get that box of Kleenex.” So, Felicia did as she was told. She took the Kleenex in one hand and Niomi’s boob in another and held it with one hand and stuffed with the other. Asking for more from Felicia as she continued to stuff figuring out what was needed to fill the space. Then she did the same with the other side as no two boobs were the same, even on the same person. Once she was done she said go look in the mirror Niomi. Tell me what you think.

Once Niomi had left Felicia said, We can't stuff her with Kleenex that night when she dances it will be a soggy mess.”

“I know dear. But her dad works with different kinds of filler. Like foam. I was thinking foam. If she likes it then what we will do is I’ll have him bring home some scrap foam and we will cut it down and shape it to fit. She’ll wear those. Maybe a corset with them in it. We’ll see what she says when she comes back.”

A couple minutes later, Niomi came back with a smile and said, “Now it’s perfect. But how on earth is this going to work. We use Kleenex it’ll be a soggy mess half way through the night or at least after the first couple songs.”

“Remember what your dad does for a living? What does he work with?”

“Different fillings from insulation to couch foam cause that’s a filling too.” Then it dawned on her. “But mom wouldn’t a corset work better for foam?” Her mom gave a look at Felicia who just smiled.

“Do you happen to have one my dear?”

“I do. But I don’t think it’ll shove the girls up much.”

“Go get it.” Felicia, here’s my husband’s keys he’s always got different materials usually scrap in his truck. See if you can find something that will help. Not too dense but not too squishy. Understand?”

“Yes.” So out she ran, while Niomi looked.

Her husband came in and looked at her with questions in his eyes. “So, in short tell me what’s going on?”

“Niomi isn’t big enough on top. We need a filler. I thought foam would work. Felicia’s looking in your truck.”

“I know what she needs. I’ll help. But Felicia will bring it in, and I’ll come in the back door, so I’m not seen.”

“You are the best babe and an awesome father.” She said with a smile.

With that he ran outside to help Felicia. Once there he said. “I know exactly what you need.” He then pawed through the different fillings squeezing and discarding different ones. Felicia, seeing what he was doing, started doing the same. Then realized he was looking for something like the feeling of a boob. When she thought she had one she’d check with him. He'd either say maybe, no, or close. After a few minutes he found the perfect one and enough of it. Gave it to Felicia and said, “Go. I’m going through the back door. Trust me.” With that he was gone. Felicia smiled and ran inside with the keys after shutting the doors.

“Found it!” Felicia said with a triumphant smile and a subtle wink at Niomi’s mom. So, they took the halter top down and which was enough to do what they needed. They put the corset on then started molding and cutting material, working on getting the shape right. Every so often they’d re-hook the halter top. To test and see how much more or less they need. Niomi just standing there letting her mom and her best friend manipulate her boobs. Each of them talking back and forth about size and shape. How much each thought they needed to take off. Niomi’s mom had brought out a mirror so that Niomi could see their progress when they’d check with the halter. Finally, after much molding, shaping, and trimming they finally had the perfect shape for Niomi. They shifted everything into place one last time put the halter part back up for the last time telling Niomi to shut her eyes. After they re-hooked and made sure the zipper was zipped.

Her mom said, “Ok, you can open your eyes.”

When she opened her eyes, her hands flew to her face and she yelled, “Oh my Goddess it’s perfect you guys!!! It’s beautiful!”

Felicia said, “My friend YOU are beautiful! In that dress you’re gorgeous!”

That’s when her dad wandered out wanting to see what all the yelling was about and that’s how he started it, “Hey what’s all this yelling about? You’ll wake the neighbors!” Already knowing what was going on. As he came around the corner and saw his daughter. He teared up and said, “Niomi you are beautiful! “My daughter, I’m going to have to beat off the boys.” he laughed at himself. His wolf, not so much. Who growled passively. That was HIS pup. He said to his wife, “Love I’m going to take Felicia back to the pack house. It’s too late for her to walk. Felicia, do you have anything here?”

“No, I don’t think so.” She looked around quickly, not seeing her dress bag. She shook her head, and mind linked her aunt and uncle to let them know that Niomi’s dad was bringing her back and that they were headed out now.

Once she got back home, her aunt and uncle met her at the Beta suite door. Joy asked her what had happened, that she needed to go to Niomi’s and be so late. So, they went and sat down in the living room, and she told them what the issue was. She made sure that this was a secret as Niomi was sensitive about it. But Felicia was excited that she got help. She had gone out to Niomi’s dad’s truck to look for the perfect material but then suddenly Niomi’s dad came out and the two looked together. He found the right material and gave her enough so that if they messed up, they could start over. He had gone in the back door and Niomi wasn’t the wiser that he knew about her situation. Once everything was perfect…Niomi yelled and screamed and that’s when he came out and said Hey what’s all this yelling for and how they were going to wake up the neighbors. When he knew perfectly what was going on. But this was important to Niomi. Felicia told them how when he saw his daughter he said she was beautiful and that he was going to have to beat off the boys and that his wolf growled possessively because that was HIS pup. Then she came home. She also told them about Goldie’s apprenticeship at the seamstress. How she was going to have a cap designed by Goldie. She was going to be the first to wear a Goldie creation.

Joy said, “Seems like you’re helping a lot of people lately. Your mother was always helping people.” Felicia blushed. Joy went on and said, “You know you seem to be healing people too. Maybe not medically. But you healed Niomi’s self-esteem. Helped Goldie realize her dream… have you thought about your own dreams? I’m just asking, because you have always seemed to put others first. Helping wherever you can. We shall see what unfolds. I think it’s late and tomorrow is another day. We should ask Luna if there’s anything we can do to help with the party, I know they are paying for it. But still, we should ask anyway.”

“Yes, Aunt Joy.” With that everyone went to their bed. That night she dreamt a very different dream this time. It wasn’t about the crash. There was a beautiful garden and there were three people standing there. One was a very beautiful lady whom she didn’t know. The other two were her parents. Then it dawned on her it was the Moon Goddess. She dropped to her knees in respect.

“Please stand Felicia and Azella.” Felicia looked next to her and there was her wolf. She just stared, open mouthed. Shocked to be able to see her. As they stood next to each other. They looked on. Her mother spoke first. “My darling. You have grown into a beautiful girl.” Her father just smiled, love shining in his eyes. “Felicia, the women in our family have always been special. Even your uncle has extreme strength. He doesn’t always use it. But he would if he had to. But back to the women as we don’t have much time here. You are meant for great things.”

“No, pressure, right?” Felicia said with an eye roll.

Her dad said, “That’s my girl with the attitude I remember.”

“Sweetheart we all have been noticing how you’ve helped those around you. You gave your aunt and my brother a daughter, and it’s ok to call them mom and dad. We won’t be offended. They have raised you most of your life. You’ve helped your friends. Plus, the way you cut that material for Niomi…well it showed skill you didn’t realize you had. Your hands were steady. You were focused. You worked well with Niomi’s mother. The fact that you broke through your own trust and control issues mostly on your own by yelling at that mirror. Sweetheart we felt it up here. It made us so proud. We cheered along with you. I think Selene cheered the loudest.” Her mom said as she motioned to the woman between them that had yet to speak. “So, you also helped yourself as well”

“Do you see how much good you’ve done pumpkin?” her dad asked. Felicia had forgotten how he used to call her that. “Also, I noticed you took my desk with you. I’m glad. There’s a secret compartment in it. It’s in the middle drawer. Look there tomorrow.” Then he too stepped back.

“My darling it’s time for us to go.”

“Momma, Daddy, may I have one last hug?” Felicia asked hopefully.

Selene nodded. The three then rushed towards each other enveloping each other in a huge group hug. Felicia could smell them, and they smelled just like they did when they were alive. It felt good to get and give one last hug goodbye. The hug she wanted after they first had died. She savored it. Selene then said, “My children it’s time. I have some words for your daughter.”

They bowed to the Moon Goddess and walked off hand in hand. Selene looked at Felicia and Azella. “My children. You two are very special. You have powers of healing from the two women that came before you. Your grandmother and your mother. My dear, your mother was taken so that you would be this person. This soft hearted, loving, kind, healer. But not only are you soft-hearted, you have an inner strength that you can use when it is necessary. But for you, you don’t have to use it often. Your mate. I know you’ve been asking about him. Don’t worry, you will find him. You will know by his smell. I have picked out the perfect half for you. You will be very happy. Finish school, then trust me, investigate the medical field. I can’t tell you everything because that would be cheating. I love you, my child. Trust your instincts. Your pack will live on. So, no worries. Ok?” Felicia nodded.

That’s when she woke up to light streaming in the window feeling fully rested. She lay there and thought to herself about the dream she had. How it wasn’t about the crash. That she hadn’t had a ‘crash dream’ since shifting. It’s like she broke through the pain of the crash and the dream she had last night proved it. She got out of bed thinking about what Selene had said. So, she thought she would talk to her aunt and uncle when she had a chance. She didn’t see them till breakfast time so, when she saw her friends, she told them that she really needed to talk to her aunt and uncle and would catch up with them after breakfast. She then made her way to the head table where a chair suddenly appeared. When she got up there, she noticed that they hadn’t started eating yet so she asked if she could sit between them as she needed to talk to them. So, her uncle moved over so she could sit between them.

Once they all had their breakfast and coffees she started telling them of her dream. Ben, who was not that far away, cut in and said, “Why don’t we all go to my office after breakfast. I think this is something we should all talk about.”

So, they went on eating in silence, getting their breakfast done. After everyone was done they filed out and went to Ben’s office. Once the door was shut. They all sat down on Ben’s set of couches. “Felicia, what happened last night?

“For once I did not relive the crash. I was in the Moon Goddesses Garden. My parents were there with Selene.” All the adults in the room were slack jawed, eyes wide like she had just said she’d grown two heads and a third leg. “My parents told me I had grown into a beautiful girl. My mom said that I could call my aunt and uncle, mom and dad. That they would not be offended. Because you two had raised me as well. That I have helped you as well. I gave you a child when you couldn’t have one. That I was intended for great things. I told them no pressure right. My dad said there my little girl with the attitude. His eyes shined with love. My mom also told me something about you, dad. That you have extreme strength, you don’t always use it. But you would if you needed to. They pointed out all the people I’ve helped. How I even helped myself. When I yelled at that mirror I broke through something. I broke through so hard that they heard it up there. Mom said that they all cheered. That they thought Selene cheered the loudest. I think that’s why I haven’t re-lived it since my shifting.” Felicia paused.

“You mean to tell me that one your mother told you to call us mom and dad and that you were meant for great things? Sweetheart we knew that you were meant for great things. Your dad extreme strength he doesn’t use, cause he will only use it if he needs to?” Joy said tearfully.

Ben cracked, “No wonder I could never beat you! This explains everything. But you have been the one who I could count on for a voice of reason.” Lissa shot him a glare, that said to knock it off.

“It was then that they had to leave. I was able to give them on last hug goodbye, that I didn’t get before they died. Then after bowing to Selene, they walked off hand in hand. Selene, told me she knew that I had asking about finding my mate, how would I find him…she told me to not worry I would smell him, and he would be my other half. I was worried I’d never find someone cause there really isn’t anyone who is interested in me to my knowledge. But anyway, she also told me that my mother had to go when she did so that I would become the person I am today. She mentioned that the two women before me had healing powers, and because of that I have strong healing powers and that I should investigate into the medical field. Then she said that she couldn’t tell me everything cause that would be cheating. Then she told me to trust my instincts.” Felicia finished with a deep breath.

“Wow that’s a lot. If she told you to investigate the medical field, then maybe you should change some of your classes to get you ready for that. Like more science and higher math classes.” Joy suggested.

Mick then looked at Felicia and asked, “Is that why you called me dad earlier?”

“Yes. When I woke up there was light streaming through my window, and I felt invigorated and refreshed. But I was also deep in thought over the things they had said to me. I know you all will be there for me…”

“Ben, your instincts were right. This is something we all needed to hear.” Lissa said.

“Oh, she did say that my pack will live on. I’m guessing that’s this pack. I don’t know how everything will come together…but I have this feeling that everything will be ok.”

“Felicia, you’ve given us all a lot to think about. We’ll help you in any way we can in whatever medical specialty you choose. There are many different specialties. But we can help you find the one that helps the pack and fits you best.” Mick said.

“Thanks dad.” Felicia smiled, then she looked at Joy and said, “I want to thank you for being my mom all these years. You have sacrificed so much for me. I love you mom.”

Joy smiled and teared up. “Anything for you, my love. Even though in my mind, I tried to keep you as just my niece, my heart did not agree. I love you too.”

Lissa’s eyes were also leaking with tears at the sentimentality and love going around the room. It occurred to her just then about something Felicia said. “Felicia dear, you said the moon Goddess said ‘your pack will go on.’ Do you have any thoughts about that?” Lissa asked.

Ben said, “Lissa dear what are you getting at?” because for years they had been trying and still had no pups and had been mated for almost 15 years now with no luck. Lissa was getting comments from other Luna’s and some of the elders about getting a surrogate Or adopting an unwanted pup from one of the orphanages they had for unwanted pups.

Felicia sensing something asked, “What do you mean? I just took it at face value. Why?”

Joy spoke up next knowing what Lissa might be asking. “Felicia…this is a very, very, sensitive private matter so it does not leave this room, ok?”

Felicia nodded, saying, “I promise”

Joy then said, “There is a reason, Ben and Lissa don’t have children because Lissa has been having problems and miscarriages over the last twelve years. They’ve kept it quiet, for obvious reasons. That’s why she was asking about the phrase that the Moon Goddess said that your pack would live on.”

Felicia thought for a few moments about the healing powers from the women before her and how much she had that she had not tapped into yet. So she asked a question. What power did my grandmother have? Was she a doctor or was it an inner power so to speak? Also what about my mother. Same question.”

“Well, your mother was more knowledge-based. But my mother…well hers came from within. Most white wolves have an inner power that shows up eventually. Yours may not show up till your eighteenth birthday when you become of age. It could show up at any time.”

“Is there a way to bring it out early, find it, or learn to tap into it?” Felicia asked.

“We could try meditation. I could teach you. Actually, your mom and I could help you with that. Because your parents bestowed your aunt and uncle with those titles, she is now considered more powerful in your life than just, and aunt would be. I know it doesn’t sound like it makes sense. But being a parent gives you certain connections. But it might have to be your dad instead of seeing as he is of the same line. Or both. There’s many options. We’ll start with the three of us and move on to other options as needed. Ok? You don’t realize how much this means to me Felicia. I am extremely grateful for what you are willing to do for me and for the pack.” Lissa said with grateful tears.

“How about this. You two get candles, incense or whatever we need and meet me in the back. I feel like we’ll be in the garden. But gather the items and meet me in the back, I need to tell my friends I’ll be busy or they will worry. I’ll only be a few minutes.”

“How do you know all this?” asked Joy?

“Selene told me to trust my instincts. So, I am. I’m following what’s naturally coming to me.” Felicia said. With that she got up and left the room. The four adults just looked at each other in stunned silence.

Joy and Lissa got up and left the room getting the Items that Felicia asked for and a few others that she thought they might need.

Felicia found her friends and spoke with them. “Um I got something very important to do. I can’t tell you as it’s a private matter. But I will tell you I am going to be meditating. I also have a question. Do either of you know where I can get a statue or small statue of the Moon Goddess or a representation?” Goldie and Niomi just looked at her.

“What’s going on? What happened last night? Cause you are acting different today.” Questioned Goldie. Niomi was busy mind linking her mom with what Felicia asked. With all that Felicia had done for her. She wanted to help as much as possible.

“I had a dream, and I want to tell you guys all about it, but I must do this. I will tell you about my dream, as soon as possible. Ok?” Felicia promised.

Felicia said, “perfect!”

Goldie asked, “do you need anything else?”

Felicia thought for a moment zeroing in on her instincts and then said, Do you have a cloth with stars, moons, suns…that type of thing?”

Goldie thought a minute unsure, so she mind linked Juniper. ‘Juniper, Felicia needs a cloth with stars, moons, suns…she’s going to be doing an important meditation. She says it’s a special type of meditation.’

As Niomi ran up with the moonstone wolf, Felicia said, “Thank you. It’s a sort of medical meditation. Anything I say please keep to yourselves. I know I can trust you girls.”

Juniper replied, ‘Anything Felicia needs if we have it she can have it, I think I do come and help me, and you can take it to her. After you give it to her, lets finish her cape. I also have an idea for a gift. It can be from the both of us, because we’ll work on it together.’
