Luna: The Sorceress Of Alpha Lancelot

Leah I am grateful to the gods for granting me the honor of seeing their image, in perfect human form. The white silk dress touched the floor, leaving it dirty with dirt. I walked with my daughter in my arms and as I was walking to the salon, where Ulysses Crowler, my husband, was standing. "Excuse me Mrs. Crowler, it's time for Miss Crowler's sun bath." - The governess spoke kindly, she was one of the few good people in this family. I walked a little further and found my husband in the garden, he was playing Charamela and was charming. There was a table set beside him with many things and I felt that things were not going as well as I thought. "You are like the vision of the gods for me. Sit with me, I made all this especially for my beautiful wife." - He was kind, I can even say the kindest of his brothers. "When did you have time for this? I thought you would play some of the beautiful songs you know for me." - I sat on his lap, put my arms around his neck, and kissed him. "Leah, don't you find it strange that our daughter was born female? What could I have done wrong for this to happen? Why didn't these give me the pleasure of being a male heir?" "There are no explanations when it comes to the will of the gods. If they willed it so, so it is and so it shall be!" - I got up from his lap, picked a grape, and walked to the apple trees. There could be no better gift than a child, a little girl in my life. My Luna, my little sorceress. My parents forced me to marry Ulysses, because his family was the most feared among some kingdoms, and to marry one of the brothers of the Crowler family was a privilege, for some people! "Forgive me if I said anything that offended you, that was never my intention." "It's all right." - I looked at him and smiled, letting it be known that everything was fine. - "But know that Luna since her birth has been the most important thing in my life. It should be in yours too." - No, I wasn't angry, I just wanted to put an end to this mistrust. I breastfed Say while listening to the whispering coming from the hallway, I got close enough to the door to hear what they were talking about, but Luna was mumbling non-stop, as if she was feeling something, she rolled her eyes letting the golden glow come out. The strands of her black hair were slowly turning white, until some knock at the door and quickly Luna went back to being my "normal" little girl. "You may enter." - It must have been someone close, as it had only been a few days since Luna had been born. I was still resting, leaving only with Ulysses. - "By the gods, you have come." - It was Danira, my sister. "Leah, my dear sister." - Her hug comforted me, she had this gift. - "I felt in my heart that I was not well. What is going on? Where is my niece?" - Elis smiled walking to the cradle, where Luna was. "Feelings never go wrong. I called her in thought. I need to confess something, do you promise to keep this secret with you until the end?" - Elis was stunned by the sight of Luna. Their eyes quickly met and it was something surreal that I had never seen before. They were connecting by looking at each other, you could see Elis crying without realizing it. "Ulysses... she is not…" - Her voice was faltering and her eyes filled with water. Ulysses and all the members of his family had red hair. Luna had light skin, blue eyes and just like her skin, her hair was black just like her skin and it was perfect. But, what I couldn't explain is the white they turned white when they came in contact with some kind of magic that she already produces, even though she is so small. "Sister…" - I touched her shoulder, letting a tear fall and wet my face. - You must believe in me. "I do, I've always believed in you. But, tell me what I'm already supposed to know... is this child a sorceress?" My voice broke, I swallowed hard and answered yes. "You have to be very careful. What did he say when he saw her?" "He admires her and says that his eyes see the most beautiful child in the world. But, the others don't see her this way." "My father wants Merlin to come and give him his blessing! I tried to refuse his offer, but he gave it to her." - Ulysses was talking pacing back and forth. "I gladly accept my love." - He watched Luna sleep, she was a quiet baby who slept most of the time and I thanked the gods for that. "It will be a beautiful night. I miss you, Lea. I know that I haven't had much time for you lately, but I want you to know that I am doing this to provide the best for you, my wife, and our daughter. I was thinking in the future to move somewhere else, I can't stand to look at the same environment anymore." "You are a perfect husband, Ulysses, don't try to do what is not within your reach, my love. What is good for you will also be good for us." His father was calling him and he went. I was nervous and afraid at the same time, afraid that something would go wrong tonight and it would harm my daughter, my Luna Crowler. Danira Lancelot was running through the trees with his wolf at his side, with the loss of his father he was already an Alpha, just waiting to come of age to assume his responsibilities, meanwhile everything was under my responsibility. The Crowler legacy was terrible, a greedy family that thirsted for power and to never lose it they would do anything. "Danira, the Onedusa clan is getting closer and closer. They have already spotted some men near the village camps, what should we do?" "Tell everyone to be wedged in and gather our men. We have to think of something that will finish them off, I couldn't stand another one of those fights." Since Herbert's departure, things have become heavier for me, while Lancelot does everything he can to take up his post soon. "You don't have to go to the fight. There are many men who can do this without you getting hurt. Besides, you have Merlin who can be very useful and you know it, because even if you deny it to your death, you know that he is your blood and you have no way of denying it." "It may even be, after all, he owes me a favor for saving your life. Maybe you are right." - Danubia was also my sister, but we knew that Merlin was the chosen one of the gods and even if he made a lot of mistakes, he would always be our brother. Danubia was my younger sister and was a healer, many believed she was a witch and the holy trinity treated her as such and were crazy about her head, but I would never let that happen, not even Merlin. But, she was just a woman who knew the secrets of herbs, that helped me a lot to take care of the village people and the pack. The day was beautiful for a reckoning, but I was going to them on a mission of peace, in case they would not accept I would call Merlin to help me. It was not going to be easy, but I would try to come to some agreement. They want our crops, but they don't want to pay for them, and they want to hunt in our territory, knowing that this is strictly forbidden. I rode at the fastest speed I could go and when I arrived at the Crowler lands, I learned that a girl had been born, it had been 699 years since a girl had been born. "Madam Danira, Mr. Malvin is waiting for you. Please follow me." - Sitting high up in his palace, Malvim looked at me with disdain. "I come to propose a deal. I want you to leave my people alone and stop besieging my land. If you want to buy good produce, you pay for it." "I won't pay for anything. You know that your late husband died and left debts for you to collect. I'm just taking what's mine. Take it away!" Malvin didn't want to talk about anything at all and I wasn't willing to lose anything else. My husband didn't die owing anything and I'm pretty sure that it was on Malvin's orders that he died, but this will have many twists and turns yet. "The child cannot stay here, can you imagine if he finds out that this has happened? By the gods, it's too crazy." - Elis has always been the most sensitive sister, the most nurturing and the one who was always by my side no matter what. "I know the risks, I will have to face them. No one but you knows or suspects this, Luna will be a child blessed by the gods. She will always have me." "She knows she can count on me for whatever is needed. Your family is a mess, Mr. Crowler is suspicious that something is wrong, act natural and everything will be fine and whenever possible, take the memories away from him. That grumpy old man is always snooping around where he shouldn't be." "I will be careful. I promise." - We said goodbye and I went to the dance hall, where I used to go before I became a mother. Today we had the celebration of the moon, an annual ritual where we celebrate the births of all children, but th is one would be special. After 699 years there was the birth of a girl, my little Luna.
