Twisted moon series book 1

The Pack Life

“Lettie is Ei okay?” Thomas and Brandi both asked in that creepy synchrony that twins have. “Sometimes that creeps me out, but he will be ok. He needs his rest right now but please see him tomorrow, as well we need to have another meeting with my parents. We are going to have to figure out our alliances sooner than expected. I want to start with the kings, I need to do some more research on the first time Ash was put in the hell world, but I know that it was with the kings of old, an Oracle, guardian, and a demigod. How we will find the same type of powers again to put him back in hell is beyond me, but maybe the kings or their libraries can put us in the right direction.”

“I trained with the lycan prince’s beta and your parents are also close to the king and queen, let’s start there.” Says Brandi. “How has the mated life been so far?” “We are taking it slow, he is very charming and sweet for making me feel comfortable, especially with the first impression and misguided intentions. His father has disowned him, declaring him a traitor to the pack.” “Bring him to my father, let him know the situation and do a blood oath and accept him in the pack. We don’t need him smelling like a rogue.” “Thank you, alpha.” “Brandi you’re like a sister, I’m so happy for you to find your mate and I trust your gut. I know that you wouldn’t have him hanging around if you didn’t feel like he was a genuine man, but know I will rip his heart out if he hurts you.” “I’ll do the same for you Lettie.” “When you talk to dad see if it should be you that calls the Lycans or he will. Thomas want to go spar? I need to expel some of my energy.” “I will never turn down a good sparring match.” “Ok meet me at the training ground in 30 I need to go change and I also want to check on Raven.”

Sparring with Thomas is always difficult, he has very little tells, and incidentally we also know each other’s moves like breathing. When blows are landed they definitely pack a punch, he is a natural born alpha male with beta blood and when fighting he plays dirty making my wolf and I have to think outside the box to get one up on him.

30 minutes later and a few stretches, I’m ready, Thomas circles around me,looking for an opening, he smiles and asks “when I win this match do I get to take you the circus?” “What NO I am not in the mood to deal with clowns!” Next thing I know he attacked from side and as I moved out of the reach of him grabbing me, I realized he was using my distaste for clowns as a distraction and laughing sounding like one saying “want to play little girl” to get me riled up for me to be angry and disgusted so I can make a mistake. I hate to admit that it almost worked.. and that my gamma was brilliant in doing this. It has been a long time since someone has used my emotions in a fight, I needed to have this refresher. Demons can sometimes see your emotional weakness and use it against you or if the fight is a personal fight the emotions that come with that can cause someone to second guess themselves or to hesitate in doing a killing blow. I don’t show anything, Thomas smiles as he praises me “good to know that when they want to come at you for being a female it won’t piss you off” “you know it does but thanks I needed that, training they got used to not able to get a reaction from me so they stopped but they didn’t know I hate clowns either.” “Ha ha I know you can block the female remarks of not being good enough or what ever they come up with but yea, we could go up against people who know deep thought or insecurities and we need to practice protecting our minds.” I land a hard blow to his ribs and agree with him. After an hour and a half and neither one able to make the other submit, he wants me to train with fire. We saved this element to learn for last, it also seems to drain my energy faster than the rest. However fire calls to me the most, it’s the easiest to conjure and the easiest to manipulate however it’s not easy to control once released. My fire is also different, the flames are bright white, Tundra says it’s because we are pure. I am currently working on creating a ball of fire and throwing it like a baseball only to call it back to my hand when I feel Raven nudge me in the psychic plane. “Raven what’s going on? Are you ok?” She is too young to communicate through the pack link and her abilities haven’t manifested itself in her just yet but she can share them with me here. “Lettie” her little voice rings out. “Yea Raven I’m here I respond” “I’m scared Lettie something big is going to happen soon, and I can’t see if it’s good or bad.” “Raven I’m on my way, but know this what ever happens I’m going to be at your side protecting you till the day I die.”

As I get to my baby sister, I feel something else nudge me in the psychic plane. What the hell is this… I immediately close my link and put a blocker around Ravens link, not knowing what that was but could feel a masculine energy. Well I’m glad I was here I thought and I hope the shield will hold up.

“Lettie come to my office” “I have Raven we’re on our way” “ok, I love that you two are close, does that mean the bond is strong enough to protect her?” “We exchanged some blood allowing her to communicate with me in the psychic plane, this will tell me how she is and experiencing. I will also be able to join her there to see some of her visions but since she is so young and doesn’t have control yet it will be hit or miss on her visions. She however has expressed that something is coming, she can’t tell if it is good or bad and she does know that it will be soon.” “What can we do to prepare for what’s headed to us Lettie? Don’t say it’s all on you we are a pack, family what can we do to help?” “ train both physically and mentally the warriors need to meditate. Clear their minds and as they fight they have to just do not think because they can use that against them. I also think drills to time how long it takes to get the elderly and pups in lockdown is also in order. There needs to also be a few warriors not only on the outside of the safe rooms but inside.” I also would recommend that we do some things as a pack, have some barbecues and let’s pull the pack members that are farther away in. With Sean now gone and he knows all our routines change that no patrols are alone and we need the kings.” “Well the Lycan king, Luna, and son are definitely on their way, and he says he will be in touch with the vampire and dragon king soon and will pass along the message that they are needed but I didn’t explain why they were. I told king Desmond that we are looking for your mate.” “Ok dad, that should be more than enough to bring them here, especially when I know you’re singing my praises for accomplishing elite training. Dad I need to start putting some wards up around the pack before nightfall I’ll see you later, here take Raven she needs some daughter time with dad.” “Does she I was really hoping I would be able to start spending more time with her, I feel like I missed out on so many things with you and I don’t want that with her.” “I know dad, you’re not missing anything. You were an excellent dad, alpha, and role model to look up to so don’t think you did wrong with me.. besides having mom around so much showed me how to be strong.” “To strong at times I think.” “We can agree to disagree on that dad.” I walk out leaving Raven in good hands and preparing for a run with Tundra.
