Forever More

Chapter 19

Joelle's p.o.v cont.

"I don't understand why you would serve me I say." "You see we have heard of your beauty, kindness, compassion, and love for all. We have heard of your past and see the strength that you have from it. Jacob turns towards Zander and asks, can we please join your pack, sir? We know she is going to make a wonderful Luna." Zander looks at me to see what I think. I nod my head once to let him know I think it would be okay. "How about a thirty-day probation period, Zander asks Jacob?" "That's fair. You don't know us from another rogue, Jacod says." "We want you to stay but I also need to protect my people, Zander said." "We understand Alpha Zander, said Jacob." I step forward to stand in front of Jacob. They all look exhausted and dirty. "Willow, should I heal these people, I ask?" "Yes little one heal them and show everyone what they are messing with, she says." I start to walk towards Jacob when I feel a hand wrap around my wrist. I don't even have to look to know that it's Zander from the warmth that I feel on my skin. I look up at him and say, "trust me please my Alpha." He releases my wrist but walks with me to them. Jacob may I have your permission to help you feel better, I ask? What do you mean Luna he says. Here let me show you I say while placing a hand on his arm. All I think about is how the wind feels through my hair. The sun gently kissing my skin. The crunch of the fallen leaves. I open my eyes to a very stunned few faces. "What was that Justin asks?" "I can heal people whether it be physical or mental, I say." "Now, if you will excuse me I have some wolves to heal." It took about half an hour to heal everyone, but I was completely drained by the last one. "Can we head home I'm feeling very tired after all of that, I ask?" "Of course little one, anything else you need, Zander asked?" "No I think I am okay, I say. One look is all it takes for him to know that I am about to pass out. He hooks my legs and lifts me. I start to protest and Zander looks down at me and says "Little mate, I wouldn't if I were you." I give up because frankly, I'm too tired to make a fuss over nothing. I am out like a light before we leave the timber. I wake gasping for air clawing at my neck. "Oh good, it was just a nightmare." "Joe, honey you need to tell Zander, Willow says." " Why so I can worry him even more?" "Well, you better decide because he felt your fear and he's on his..." "Joelle, are you, okay love, Zander asks flying into the room?" "Yes, I'm fine just a bad dream, I say." "Love, do you want to talk about it?" "Zander, I don't think it was just a bad dream and neither does Willow, I say." "What do you mean little one? "What I mean is it felt too real to be a dream, I tell him." "Well tell me about it, he says." "Okay but I think it's a warning. So it starts off just you and me out in the timber racing and then the sun gets covered by rain clouds and the wind picks up I look to my left and see a bunch of wolves coming at me. Then I look to my right where you were and our pack is out there coming from the other side. I was standing in the middle of a clearing watching this happen. It was hot so it had to be summertime." I study his face to make sure what I'm saying is sinking in. "Go on, he says." "I look to you and you're being attacked from all sides. One after another comes for you. I become scared and the next thing I know flames are everywhere. I'm moving things and people out of my way to get to you. The harder I try the further I get from you. I can see your mouth moving but I can't hear you over the roar of the wind. I feel someone coming behind me and realize it's Lucas and he's about to wrap his hands around my neck, I say." "Then I woke up." He's just sitting on the edge of the bed staring at me. I start to feel uneasy like I had done something wrong. I feel the bile moving up into my chest. "We must have the Luna ceremony soon, Zander says. I want you to stay by my side at all times and if you're not with me you stay with Derrick. Do you understand me little one?" "Yes Alpha I understand, I say." "Not Alpha. Zander. Please call me Zander, he pleads." "Yes... Zander I understand, I say looking up at him." He reaches over and pulls me into his lap, "Just rest love. I will hold you until you fall asleep. We aren't going to worry just now about this okay, but I mean what I said you stay with Derrick or me, he tells me." I curl up into a ball basking in the warmth that touches my body and soon I fell asleep wrapped in his arms. "Little one, it's Selene. Wake my child." "Moon Goddess what's wrong, I ask?" "My child I need you to listen. It's coming. The war is coming I could only show you bits and pieces because you had a very strong wall up. You will have a few battles before the war but it's coming. Danger is on the horizon and you must be ready to attack, she tells me." "I must tell Zander, I say. He will know what to do." "Be careful little one, she says." I start running in my dream not knowing where I was even going until... I gasp for air like I was actually running. "Joelle, wake up love." I feel myself shaking softly. I shoot up gasping for air. "Joelle, honey are you okay, Zander asks." "It's coming Zander, I say." "What's coming love, he asks?" "The war I simply say."
