Finding the luna

Chapter 2

Elsa pov

As the bus rumbled down the road, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. I'd heard so much about Skyline College, and I was eager to experience it for myself. The stories about the rich students, the luxurious facilities, and the high academic standards had both thrilled and intimidated me.

I took a deep breath and gazed out the window, watching the cityscape pass by. The buildings grew taller and more impressive as we approached the college. I spotted the Skyline College sign, and my heart skipped a beat. We were here.

The bus stopped, and I grabbed my pink backpack, joining the flow of students pouring out onto the sidewalk. I followed the crowd, trying to blend in while taking in the sights and sounds of the campus. The buildings were stunning, with sleek architecture and beautifully manicured lawns.

As I walked, I noticed groups of students chatting and laughing, some of whom glanced my way. I felt a twinge of self-consciousness, wondering if I fit in. My outfit, which I'd thought was perfect just hours before, suddenly seemed too bright, too bold.

I took a deep breath and reminded myself that I belonged here, just as much as anyone else. I had my acceptance letter, and I was ready to learn.

The crowd dispersed, and I found myself standing in front of a large auditorium. A sign above the entrance read "Welcome to Skyline College – Freshman Orientation." I smiled, feeling a sense of belonging. This was it – my new adventure was about to begin.

As I entered the auditorium, I was struck by the sea of unfamiliar faces. I scanned the room, searching for an empty seat, when I spotted a girl with striking golden hair and a warm smile. She waved at me, and I felt a spark of connection.

I made my way over to her, trying to navigate through the crowded rows. "Hi, is this seat taken?" I asked, nodding toward the empty chair beside her.

"Not at all," she replied, her voice friendly. "I'm Gold, by the way."

"I'm Elsa," I said, taking a seat and extending my hand.

Gold shook it firmly. "Nice to meet you, Elsa. So, are you excited about starting at Skyline?"

I nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. I've heard great things about the college."

Gold POV

I watched as a girl with a bright pink outfit walked into the auditorium, her smile faltering slightly as she scanned the room for an empty seat. When her eyes met mine, I smiled and waved, hoping to catch her attention.

She made her way over to me, and I noticed her pink crop top and white sneakers. She seemed friendly, and I was curious to talk to her.

"Hi, is this seat taken?" she asked, nodding toward the empty chair beside me.

I shook my head. "Not at all. I'm Gold, by the way."

She smiled and introduced herself, and we started chatting. I learned she was a freshman, just like me, and we talked about our expectations for college.

As we chatted, I found myself drawn to her warm and curious nature. When the orientation began, I couldn't help but steal glances at her. She was taking notes and asking thoughtful questions.

As the session drew to a close, I leaned over and whispered, "Want to grab lunch together after this? I'd love to show you around the campus."

She smiled, and I could tell she was excited about the prospect. "That sounds awesome. I'd love to."

"Great," I said, smiling back at her. "But I realized I don't know your name yet. What's your name?"

She laughed and replied, "I'm Elsa."

I smiled, feeling happy to have met her. "Nice to officially meet you, Elsa."

THE RED BLOOD PACK

Skye POV

Riven stood beside me, his piercing gaze scanning the horizon. We'd been through thick and thin together, and I trusted him with my life. We shared a bond forged in the fire of loss and hardship.

Like me, Riven had lost his parents in the war with the Black Pack. His eyes still held a hint of pain, but his determination and loyalty had only grown stronger.

"Skye, what's the plan?" he asked, his voice low and steady.

I filled him in on the moon goddess's message, and he listened intently. When I finished, he nodded.

"We'll find her, Skye. Together."

With Riven by my side, I felt a sense of reassurance. We'd face whatever lay ahead, united and unstoppable.

Riven nodded in agreement. "I'll start making the necessary arrangements."

Just then, Kael's voice came through the communication device on my desk. "Alpha Skye, the elders have arrived."

I stood up, my instincts on high alert.

I walk to the throne room with Riven by my side, The elders' visit was unusual, and I had a feeling I knew why they were here. "Show them in, Kael."

Their faces were somber, their eyes filled with a mix of concern and anticipation. I knew that look all too well.

"Alpha Skye," Elder Arin began, "we've received a message from the Moon Goddess. She informed us that the Luna we've been searching for is in the human world."

I nodded at the elders, acknowledging the confirmation. "Thank you, Elders. Riven and I were already making plans to head to the human world. We'll leave as soon as possible."

Elder Arin nodded,

I could sense the elders' concern, their worry palpable in the air. They believed the humans were weak, and that the Luna growing up in their world would be tainted by their fragility.

"Alpha Skye, we fear for the Luna's safety and well-being," Elder Arin said, his voice laced with worry. "The human world is no place for one of our kind. She's been raised among them, unaware of her true nature. What if she's been... softened by their influence?"

I understood their concerns, but I knew that the Luna's strength and worth weren't defined by her surroundings. She was still a part of our pack, still a wolf at heart.

"We'll assess her situation and determine the best course of action," I reassured them. "But we can't judge her without meeting her. Let's focus on finding her first."

The elders nodded, though their concerns were still evident. I knew they'd be watching closely, eager to see how the Luna would adapt to our world. But I was confident that she'd thrive, that she'd prove herself strong and worthy of her heritage.
