The Luna

Chapter 2-The Gathering

As we arrived to the Pack house, it was huge, I had only been here a couple of times and every time it amazed me. Huge white columns out the front, large windows out the front and sides of the house, everything was light up, so many Pack members were in attendance, I was starting to feel a little nervous, Dany must have seen my expression, she grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to her and giggled, Greg saw the closeness and immediately put himself in between us, we just laughed. Greg put his arms out for the both of us to hold onto and we walked inside. 

Everything was even more amazing on the inside, every light shone, and every glass filled to the brim, people were dancing and talking, I saw a few of the head doctors letting their hair down, they waved at me and smiled. They worked with my mother and had known me since I was a pup. I felt so out of my place, I needed a drink, the one thing I loved about being in this pack was there was no age limit on a glass or two of champagne, though it was openly frowned upon giving your under 17 year old alcohol, as long as no one abused it, no onw had a problem with it. Which was a shock to me seeing as everything else was strict. 

"Why are you looking at other girls!" I turned around to see a beautiful woman turn red with anger, she was yelling at a tall and very fair man. I knew he was a vampire by just looking at him. That was one of the unique characters of our Pack, we integrated with the "local" or ancient I should say Vampire Brood. It easily made our pack the strongest in America, I have not yet heard of another Wolf Pack combining with a Vampire Brood, it was simply unheard of until you came to our town. 

The very tall man just walked away from the already mad woman, he walked my way and past me, he looked down at me with his ice cold blue piercing eyes, I'd never seen a vampire with eyes like that before. He half smiled, with surprise on my face, I half smiled then frowned. Not knowing what to make of it. I have treated many vampires and humans but he seemed to be on a different level. I shrugged it off. I lost Dany and Greg, there was too many people I had to get some fresh air, I walked onto the balcony, which had stairs, I decided to walk down them, I saw a little pond, I stood in front of it, just looking up at the sky. 

Then somebody spoke, " Hello there", I jumped back and turned my head. "Oh, I'm sorry to have startled you, miss." He lightly chuckled. "It's fine, I didn't know anyone else was out here by the pond", I say. It was the man from earlier, his ice blue eyes, they seemed to hold power, it's what it felt like to me anyway. "My name is Alastair", he said with a slight bow. I smiled, "Maybelle, nice to meet you".

"I can tell you are a wolf, just by your scent", he said. Shocked I held my hand up to my body. He laughed, "I did not meant it in that way but I could if you wanted me to". I just laughed, "I've never heard that line before, that was a line wasn't it?". I raised my eyebrows, he nodded his head. "Forgive me, it's none of my business but the lady that would yelling before, is she your mate?", I asked cautiously. "No she isn't, she's trying to be but there is nothing there only a s****l notion nothing more, why are you interested?", he asked taking one step closer. 

"I'm not, I was just curious as to why there was a scene at a lovely party", I say. You know most wolves and vampires would be scared talking to me out here alone in the dark", he had a cunning smile. "I think you can tell by my heartbeat that isn't the case here, I've been around Vampires my whole life".

"And have you been in the presence of the Head of the Couxvon Brood before". I opened my eye wide, if I had known who this person was I would have left the moment I arrived. To say that he is feared among all supernatural beings is an understatement. Wolves and Vampires respected each others titles so he was no different than my Alpha. "Lord Alastair", I bow my head. "I am sorry, I had no idea it was you, my apologies". "Please, you needn't with that, how could you know, I have now pictures and I am sure that you have not been in the Couxvon Manor". 

"I have not, My Lord". "Please, call me Alastair, Maybelle". 

Something was pulling me to this mysterious being, I did not know what it was but I was not resisting. He stepped closer and put his cold hand on my cheek, " I have only seen another as beautiful as you, but she has not long been departed". I look up at him, did he mean my mother. "Darna Cambel, she was a wonderful and talented Wolf. Do you know of her?" Shock in my face, "She is my mother, how do you know of her?"
