The Moon's Warrior

Chapter 10 New Beginnings

Elle's POV

I am in a deep sleep, when I hear my door open. I jump up and shift rather quickly, the lady that just entered my room starts screaming.  I lower my head, lay back my ears and let out a low warning growl. The lady is still screaming for help and picks a golden wolf statue howling off the dresser and points it at me. I instantly lower myself into an attack position with my ears still flat against my head and pull my lips showing my teeth and snarl. All of sudden Jax comes barging in and stands between her and I.  He looks towards me and says “Shhh, it is alright. She just came in here to clean, she means no harm.” He then looks at her and tells her calmly “Slowly, put the statue down and leave. Very Slowly.” She does as she is told except when she makes out the door, she slams it shut. This makes me jump and growl even louder. Jax’s tries to comfort me again by saying “It’s okay, she just a little scared. She’s human and us wolves still make her nervous.” He then asks me “Can I come sit by you?” I slowly sit down on the bed and watch him slowly make his way over to me. He then sits down by quietly, we sit like this for a few minutes. I am sure that he can tell that I am still on edge. “Can I pet you?” he asks gently. I lay down next to him as my response. He slowly moves his hand in between my eats and starts to slowly stroke my fur and behind my ears. After awhile of doing this he starts to talk to me as I am relaxing. “You know that your fur is so soft and so beautiful.” “I will always be here for you Elle.” He says a few more things but I didn’t quite catch them all the way because I am drifting off into a peaceful slumber. I wake up to him laying down beside me still softly stroking my fur. I am spread out against his side still in my wolf form, he calms Bellona and me. After a few minutes of enjoying his company I get up and make my way to the bathroom and start my painful shift back into being a human. I decide that I am going to enjoy a nice long bath. I find some purple crystals that smell like flowers and sprinkle them in the tub before turning on the water. Once the tub is full, I slide into the hot water and feel all my tense muscles relax. The purple crystals are also very relaxing. After soaking for a while, I decide that I should get dressed for the day. I drain the tub and notice that all the little purple crystals are gone. I wrap myself in another big fluffy towel and walk out of the bathroom. I notice that there is a pile of clothes and a note. I put on the green and purple panties and sports bra, then I put on the grey sweat pants and the black V- neck shirt. I must tie and roll the band of the sweat pants up a few times, so I am not dragging or walking out of them. The shirt pretty much swallows me whole. However, they smell of autumn leaves and maple trees. They smell like Jax. Just his sent is calming for me. I look at the note but don’t understand what it says. I know that they are words, I just don’t know what words. I smell a delicious meaty smell and agree with Bellona that we should follow the scent. I am starving, and the smell is making me drool a little. I walk down the hallway, down the steps, and down another hallway into a beautiful room. Jax is standing in front of something, it is where the smell is coming from. I hope that he doesn’t get angry with me for leaving the room, however he has not said anything yet. He sets something wound and tan on a plate, next to something yellow looking. He walks over to me and sets the plate down on a table. “I hope you’re hungry, I made brunch.” He tells me. I look at him and point at the plate “This for me?” “Yes, now sit and eat up.” He tells me with a sad smile. I sit down and grab another sliver thing, but this one had a few points on the end of it. He comes over and sits down next to me with a plate of food and two glasses of something orange. He sets one cup with orange stuff in it by and starts eating. I sloppily follow his lead trying not to eat like a feral dog. “Do you like it?” he asks me gently. “Yes, what is it?” I reply.  He points to the tan thing and says, “This is a porkchop.” He then points to funny looking yellow things and says, “These are scrambled eggs.” Lastly, he points at the cup and says, “In the cup is orange juice.”  “Now, I have question for you Elle.” He tells me softly.
