Life learning to be a Luna

10 Face to Face

The girls were in the room and with trays of delicious smelling food not long after my confession. Elliot got up, nodded to Cathy and Maggie and walked out. At the door he turned to me.

Elliot: “I have some business to take care of. I will see you ladies in a bit.”

Cathy nodded and ran to me in bed and started looking at my neck like a crazy person!

Me: “What are you doing?!”

Cathy: “ Looking to see if he marked you yet, I heard him leave his room last night. I figured he came to mark you.”

Maggie: “This isn’t the old time he wouldn’t have done it yet. Plus, with Kimmy not understanding about the mate bond, if he did it with out her love or consenting, it would hurt them forever.”

Me: “Mate bond? Isn’t that just s*x?”

Cathy: “Well you see, that’s touchy in wolf culture. We have the same rules: you shouldn’t have a partner until you have found your mate. Some find them at 18 or sooner, while others wait their whole life for their mates. There’s some that lose hope of a mate, so they mate and marry someone for what they think love is.”

Me: “So mate, is like marrying? And should you wait till someone says it to you??”

Maggie: “You need to read about the Moongoddess. You are one of her chosen children after all.”

Cathy elbows Maggie and realization comes over her face, along with a red blush.

Me: “Why are you acting weird and secretive? What else do I need to know???”

Cathy: “Cats out of the bag now.. thanks Mag he wanted to wait. We need to call Alpha Elliot in here for this discussion.”

Maggie: “It will be good practice for Kimberly while you try to reach Alpha Elliot with her link.”

Me: “My what?”

Cathy: “You don’t feel a link to Elliot?? Like you can sense when he’s getting closer, or maybe hear him talking?”

Maggie: “Don’t be silly, she isn’t apart of the pack and they didn’t mate. She can’t do that yet.”

Me: “So your saying how I communicated in wolf form can be down at all times?”

Sioux: “Now your catching on. When Mates perfect eyes glaze over he is linking to someone, most likely Beta Caleb.”

While I was distracted talking to Sioux, Maggie had placed food in front of me and but off the conversation to devour the delicious snacks. They had brought cinnamon rolls, donuts, bear claws, and biscuits with gravy. They know the way to my heart is through food, these girls took care of me.

Cathy had me text Elliot after we were done eating to talk about this Moongoddess. I didn’t get a response, but about thirty minutes later he was knocking on the door. Caleb walked in with a few books in hand, he set them on the bedside stand and turned to Maggie.

Caleb: “Ms. Maggie, may I speak to you outside?”

Maggie: “Of course, Beta Caleb.”

Caleb: “You don’t have to use my title, you can just call me Caleb.”

Maggie: “I’ll do that when you stop calling me miss, I’m just Maggie.”

They walked outside and closed the door.

Cathy: “I’m not used to a sound-proof home, it’s weird not hearing anything.”

There was a knock on the door when a scent hit me, pine and wild flowers. I got up on auto piolet and walked to the door, opend it to find a handsome Elliot all messy hair and stress writen on his face. He looked up at me with a smile tha truly met his eyes, and went to hug me and sniff my neck. Elliot relaxed at that, and released me after a few minets moving inside the room.

Cathy: “ Alpha Elliot we did not get a proper introdution yesterday. I am Cathrin Pine rouge but adopted into the white witches.”

Elliot bowed his head and when he raised it he met her eyes, and smiled.

Elliot: “My mate, has strong friends, they have served you well.”

Me: “They are my family, nothing will change that. But we can talk about the Moongoddess and why does she want to talk to me??”

Elliot: “ information for information little Luna. Tell me about your family, what you remember about your pack.”

Me: “I only remember being with my parents at the house in the woods. Not much to tell, Maggie has more to tell. My grandmother died last, I saw her for a few months after my parents died. They told me she died from heart break. My parents were hunting guides. They showed people how to track deer and elk, they liked things outdoors. We were happy until my senior year. I was 17. They went for a date night, some drunk driver hit them head on… both died on transit to a hospital.

It seems Maggie can give you more information on them than I can.”

Trying not to show weakness but my voice cracked, Elliot walks over and embraces me while wiping a tear that I didn’t know had formed or fallen. Elliot made me forget the pain and just feel love while speaking about my parents. Trying not to let him see me so upset, I try to get up but he holds me down and just sits there in a hug. When Cathy clears her throat, that is when he lets go a tad but still stays close.

Elliot: "Well, we can talk about the Moongoddess later we can take one thing at a time."

Me: "No. I need to know who this lady is before she comes to talk to me. What do I need to know?"

Cathy: "Always respect the Moongoddess, that is the first rule."

Elliot: "I had Beta Caleb bring you some material to read, none of us know what she will say, or want."

Sioux: "She will visit soon, but don't tell them. Moongoddess will only talk to you and not them."

Me: "I think I will just hide out the rest of the day and get prepared for this visiter."

Cathy gave me a sideway glance but agreed with a nod and walked out. Elliot gave me a kiss on my forehead.

Elliot: "If you need anything or have questions, do not hesitate to ask. Maggie will be a while with Caleb we will talk to her aorund dinner time most likley."

Me: "What did he want with her anyways? and Thank you for everything you have done."

Elliot: "You do not have to thank me, I haven't done anything yet, my Luna. I will be here for everything, that is what a mate does my love. But Caleb has his own matters to take care of with your Witchy sister."

They both walk out the door and close it behind them. I grab a cinnamon roll off the food tray and grab the first book on the table. Before I could open the book I felt eyes on me. I turned around on the bed to the window to see the sun slowly getting lower.

Me: "It is beautiful here."

Sioux: "Yes it is, I love it."

*Lady in white* : "I think that all the time when I see this sight"

I turned around, startled to see a beaming lady on the other side of the bed sitting. She seemed tall even sitting next to me, with cloud-like hair, white and flowing like it was levitating.

*Lady in white* : "Hello Kimberly it has been too long my dear."

Me: "How do you know my name?!"

*Lady in white* : "My child, of course I know you. I blessed you just as I blessed your mother. I am Selene but most know me as Moongoddess."
