The Lost Princess of The Heavens

New Information

It has been an extremely chaotic three days prepping for the ceremony. I’m so grateful for Miranda, Lidia, and Genesis for spearheading this event. Miranda taught me everything there is to know about being a Luna, even traditional teachings that have been dying out. All three have so much knowledge given that they all had Luna ceremonies themselves. They know what it takes to plan, organize, and get everything done even when they have a deadline of four days… Alpha Samuel had to go back to his pack to handle some responsibilities. Alpha Samuel will return today, I'm sure he is already here. I am slightly agitated even though he must be present for the ceremony, he did pay for most of it; and he brought his Beta James; hoping he would find his mate tonight. Samuel has been acting differently since our last encounter, he’s being courteous and friendly, which is a bit strange. Leon and him having been going to train when he is here, keeping him on toes as he likes to say, it’s definitely an Alpha thing, I swear.

The packland look so beautiful, like a page from a fairytale has been ripped right out of the book. The decorations, the outfits, the menu, and my dresses. I must deliver a thank you speech to everyone involve, and I need to think of something quick. I look around my desk at all the paperwork I have been working since I mated to Leon, I decided to pull out a notepad and start writing a thank you speech.

“Hey Beautiful, what are you up to?”

Paperwork, why?

“There’s a surprise downstairs for you, we hope you like it.”

I inhaled deeply and pinched the bridge of my nose and looked over to the corner of my office where other presents were piling up unopened. I shook my head while shuffling papers and placing them neatly on my desk. As I was leaving my office, I decided to lock up before heading downstairs. I begin making my way downstairs I see Steffany lurking and as I pass her, I decided to mind link a nearby Omega to keep tabs on her but going about her daily routine. Once I finally make it downstairs, I notice everyone smiling and acting all giggly. Samuel is staring at me while Leon gives me a kiss. “Hey, come with me”, I follow Leon outside where Samuel follows behind, waiting to see my reaction no doubt. I am led out of the packhouse and into the driveway where a black Audi sits with a giant red bow on top. Leon is smiling proudly, and Samuel is still watching me. I look at Leon, I-I… I do not know how to drive. “I’ll teach you, baby.” I smile awkwardly and notice Samuel hiding his smirk, as if he knew how I would react. “I have a gift for you as well Luna, it’s inside.” Oh, thank you Alpha Samuel… Leon catches my ateention by handing me the keys and says to turn her on. I don’t know if I can I say shyly. Leon goes to take the keys back with a pouty face.

Omega: My Luna, she disappeared!

What?!

Then I heard a click, and my wolf. I scream in my Luna face GET BACK! I push Leon so hard he went flying. I heard Samuel screaming no and then a blinding light followed by the explosion. I uncovered my eyes and see the explosion being contained by Xalmos and Eliza by his side her with Laurens’s throat in her hand, squeezing it slowly. Xalmos teleports the car away and quickly approaches me. “Are you alright, little one?” I looked at him with teary eyes, and then hug him. Catching him off guard by reaction, thank you for keeping your word, brother. We then face a furious Eliza who has been refraining herself from ripping Laurens’s throat out for her betrayal. My eyes turn black from rage, and I speak in my Luna voice; TAKE HER FROM MY SIGHT AND DO AS YOU SEE FIT! Everyone stays still for a moment not sure how or why they look a little shaken. Leon rushes over to me as I watch Eliza handing Lauren over to Xalmos and cuffing her with hellfire, he opens a portal and they walkthrough leaving Eliza with me.

Samuel stares at me, then Eliza, and back to me. I sigh, it’s a long story, maybe we should head up to my office and talk. We all begin making our way into the packhouse, I thank the moon goddess Xalmos let no harm come to the packland. We finally reach my office and let them enter first and close the door behind me. My omega who was keeping tabs said Steffany was heading to our floor and then simply vanished after she took a corner. “It’s likely they were working together, for what reason is to be determined. Someone offered her something and it was worth it to endanger our Luna. They’re working together, it’s the only way to explain the vanishing and why Lauren shot an angelic weapon at your car from the sky. They provided details to one another.” Leon inhales and leans forward, “lets play this by the ear until everything can be confirmed.” We all nodded, and I began to explain everything to Samuel, whose brows were furrowed the entire time. “Have you told her Samuel?” I see him tense up and one word escaped his mouth, no. Leon and I look between the two waiting for someone to talk. I cracked my neck, and looked Samuel straight in the eye, care to enlighten us? In the moment his eyes no longer seemed cold nor distant, but scared, and a longing. I shake head to breakaway from his stare.

(Alpha Samuel’s POV)

Persephone…I did not tell you the whole truth the day in the library. Believe me when I tell you, I only want to protect you, and I cannot do that unless you know the whole truth. The reason we share similar traits is because of my ancestor, Celeste. I inhale deeply and stand up, she was the first who was molded by the Moon Goddess, and then when she saw how alone she was, she then created others in her image, and others in her lover’s image. Which explains why my packs traits are rare, and some of the traits you carry. Among them, Celeste found her mate amongst those who came before the second molding. The first created the Sapphire pack, and from there, other moved onto to create their packs. Celeste was powerful since she came first. Stories are told of her ruthlessness, immense power, and merciful when she chose to be. She lived an incredibly long life, but she craved more, she turned to dark magic to extend her lifespan and rule. With dark magic there is always a price to pay, and that price was to sacrifice her mate…

I took a moment to let that sink in as I saw fear in her green eyes, if only she knew… “Keep going, Samuel.” I stared at Eliza who was fiddling with a dagger. I sat back down and continued; Even after the ritual was completed it was still not enough to satisfy her thirst for power. Once again, she turned to dark magic as she was abandoned by the moon goddess and banished her from her pack for her horrendous deeds. It was there she discovered the relationship between the Sun God and Moon Goddess, her dark witches confirmed the Moon Goddess was in fact with child. The witches aligned with her told her of a plan, to take the child once she was born. Then you came into the heavens, and everyone sang of your birth, for heavenly being is not always blessed to carry a child. Celeste cam in the night and tried to take you by force, where she was fatally wounded by both the Sun God and Moon Goddess for treason and aligning herself with dark magic.

Celeste retreated and used dark magic to hide, and it has been said that she has died from her wounds, other whispers on the winds claim she is being preserved by her coven of dark witches. Neither story has been confirmed however I do believe she is still a threat. I see Leon tense up and pulls her into his lap as she takes in everything I just said.

Persephone: Why?

Why what?

Persephone: Why do you believe she is still a threat?

I looked her dead in the eyes, because of you, Perse. You survived two attempts on your life, I see her look at Eliza who nods at what I just said, and a growl escapes Leon. Eliza jumps and grabs Perse's hands, during this conversation none of us smelled her blood, she was digging her nails into her palms the entire time. I see Eliza’s eyes fill with tears, “ I will be taking her outside for some fresh air.” I watch her led Perse out of the room and I look at Leon who looks troubled. Hey, what’s your library section on our history looking like? “It’s pretty well kept, we tried to gather every source of material as much as possible, why?” I smiled at him, lets hit the book and do some research then, causing him to smile in relief.
