Curse of the Moon Goddess

Chapter 4

~Abra~

Yesterday we got our dresses to try on and checked for any last minute alterations. Then we had to go through hours of choosing what to wear with it. Most girls get excited about party planning but Ivy and I seem to just be driving every one crazy with our lack of seriousness.

Currently we are being scolded by Luna B yet again.

"Oh my Goddess what am I going to do with you two? How can I parade you two in front of so many wolves claiming you as proper women about to shift for the first time when you can't even behave like 10 year olds? We are never going to be able to hold our heads high if you keep acting this way."

Ivy burst into giggle fits again replaying what I did this time. In my defense it was a total set up!

10 min earlier… ..

"Okay girls, this is how we are planning the set up. Let us know if we should change anything before we continue. "

Ivy and I walk up to the table and see a small model showing how they planned on decorating the party. Honestly the tiny scale. Model looked amazing. The party was going to be outdoors with a fairy Forest type theme but looking at the model I couldn't help myself… ..

" What is this? A party for ants?! It needs to be at least 3 times bigger" I scream in my. Zoolander voice and then smash the model.

Luna b is giving us a death stare while we are dry heaving from it. Laughing so hard.

"Abra, I hope you will enjoy the EUGoogley I use for you after mom kills you"

We broke into more giggle fits and that's how we ended up getting another lecture.

The week went by mostly the same way. We got scolded for using wax sticks as mustaches, using Pokemon attacks, all our movie references and honestly I don't know how Luna B made it through the week without strangling us.

It. Probably seems silly and a bit too immature but the thing is, this is our last week to be care free. Who knows what the future will hold for us. And honestly isn't life a little more fun when you hold onto a little bit of your childishness.

It’s now been a week since Alpha Moore left for his ‘boys club' . I've been constantly reassuring Ivy that Luna B wouldn't really tell him about all our shenanigans and actually cancel the party like she's been threatening all week.

The party is tomorrow after going over final touches with Luna B…. Again. We were finally excused and besides getting ready tomorrow we didn't have to deal with anymore party things. I'll never understand why it's such a big deal to. Go with white or off white napkins like who really cares?

Finally just the two of us alone in Ivy's room we start to get a feel of normalcy after such a hectic, serious week. I'm not gonna lie. We are both extremely nervouscited about tomorrow and don't want to settle down. I look at the clock on the nightstand, oh goodness 2 am well there goes my beauty sleep.

I start to head for my room when my stomach growls.

Quiet you, we will get in more trouble if the Luna catches us at 2 am eating all the cookie dough again.

Then I remembered that all the cake samples from earlier were probably still in her office and who would catch me there? I had been learning how to hide my scent in training and knew it was meant growls

I slowly creep my way pretending to be a ninja and make it to Luna Bs office. Yes the cake samples are still there, covered in Tupperware waiting to get the Luna's final approval from out selections earlier.

I sit at her desk and start devouring the different samples lost in my sugary goodness I almost heard the approaching figure to late

"Crap I'm gonna be in so much trouble…

Who is awake at 2 am and working. "

I put even more focus on hiding my scent it's not perfect but it's so faint it will seem like it's been awhile since I was here. I thank the goddess for my tiny stature as I hide in the cupboard next to the Luna's desk.

the door opens and Luna b comes in and sits at the desk. Why is she here? I'm so dead. Staying as quiet as I can not daring to breathe and focusing on my scent I stay hidden hopefully she won't take to long before she goes even though I'm small I feel like a pretzel squeezed in here.

Luna b opens her laptop. She is on a video call with Alpha Derek.

"Why are you up so late my love? I got your message about coming home tonight is everything okay? Did it all work out? "

"Yes dear everything is fine, I just wanted to come home so I could surprise the girls for the morning. Has everything come together? "

"Yes although your girls have been testing me I swear… "

" when they are together they are at there best. "

" I know and I love there relationship I do, but I worry so much about Abra. I love her spunk and adore her for her but… "

"I know darling, she isn't really it when it comes to the normal expectations of a Luna. But we don't know that she will even be a Luna or a Betas wife."

" with her bloodline we know. With who her mother was…. "

"Hush now, we know nothing. The moon goddess wouldn't be so cruel to let something happen twice. We have raised her well and we have to trust that her mate will be what she needs. We will just keep working with her, Xander has been looking for awhile now and we both know mates don't happen right away. Just keep on it. She will get there, she just needs time. "

" I don't know, she is so much like her mother and has all the qualities I loved about her. Never losing that spark and laughing and loving with all her heart. She brings out the inner child in everyone and reminds us the enjoy the little things but she lacks the Grace and professionalism of being a leader. Mates expect their women to be less well not Abra. "

Luna b looks over and starts smiling,

"What's got you suddenly happy? "

Oh I just realized Abra snuck in and ate all the remaining cake samples… that girl is a bottomless pit. How is it I can pray that she never changes and does at the same time. I don't want the world to steal her magic but I also don't want her unprepared for life when she is not behind closed doors."

" I'll be home soon B, we will get her ready I promise. How about ivy?"

" you know our child. She will be ready, she was born to rule, and Abra helped her keep her lighthearted side when she didn't have all eyes on her. Our daughter isn't the one I worry about."

"Xander could be her mate… I see the way he is with abra. "

"Now who is over thinking this husband. "

They share a small chuckle.

"My love drive safe and come home to me. I hate how long you've been away. "

"See you soon. "

Luna b closes her laptop and sits stairing at the cake samples. She steals one and leaves her office.

I let out the breathe I was holding not sure how to take what I just heard. I didn't realize they were so worried about me. I have to try harder. I have to be someone they can be proud of. But first I have to get out of this office without being caught. I don't want Luna b to know I overheard her private conversation.

“Yes you need to get back to your room a d go to sleep now, it will be an eventful day for us tomorrow”

Really brain now you are talking back to me in different voices?..

wait no that was actually someone talking wasn’t it.

I fall out of the cupboard “hello?”

“No need to get scared, I’m your wolf ivory, I’ve just finished catching up on the last 18 years. "

I need to get out of here, getting up I sneak my way back into my room laying in bed before I scream in my head.

“Oh my goodness, I’m 18 now!

"Yes we are.

Ivory I always thought you’d sound like me but your voice is low and raspy and sexy no fair"

“We are one and separate but I’ve seen your heart and your strength. you carry yourself with pride and kindness and even wait for your mate to experience everything with us. our mate is going to love us”

"What about Luna b and everything she said?

She means well and yes you are a bit… you but our mate won't care, don't let them worry you too much.

I could feel Ivory’s pride as she showed me pictures of my life, she is proud of all the training I’ve done, and how I never let the hits in life break my soul.

“Yes, you are amazing. now sleep… someone has a sarcastic side and how do I know you rolled your eyes at me

Before we can continue on this track I hear something I didn't think I'd ever hear again and it lulled me to sleep almost instantly hearing a melody in my head I’d almost forgotten, the same one my mother hummed every night.

I feel whole.
