Mysterious Luna Queen

Chapter Four

“Thats much better. I don’t want power to be corrupted like it has been around here for generations. It is time to show that power doesn’t mean a dictatorship. That true power comes with choices and options. No one should have their life planned just because they were born a female.” Aalyiah glances at the girls and smiles. They nod in agreement and start back on their journey to leave this pack. At the border they look at each other, “Time to give up our positions here, from what my wolf said the three of us will be a pack til we find where we are meant to be. We just have to give up our ties to the Black Moon Pack.”

Aalyiah stepped forward first, “I Aalyiah, omega of the Black Moon Pack, hereby rescind my place in the pack. From this moment forward I will have no ties to the land or pack,” Aalyiah didn’t feel any different afterwards, just a little stronger. Shaking off the feeling she looks toward the other two as they finish the same words. Once everything is done all three have huge smiles and feel like the weight on their shoulders has been lifted.

Queenie, keeping an eye on their surroundings reminds Aalyiah that the need to initiate the pack bond between the three of them, so they can safely move forward. No pack likes rogues to come near the territory and no one was to be mislabeled.

Listening to Queenie, “Alright, so we need to come up with a temporary pack name for while we are traveling. That way we will stay safe, and can always communicate even in wolf form.

After looking at each other for a few minutes, Natalie steps forward, “Why not call us the Goddess Light Pack? We are led by our future Queen, plus we represent our Goddess as well?”

Megan and Aalyiah look at each other and smile, “That's perfect, Nat! So we will be the Goddess Light Pack, and for now we only have 3 members. In time, it may grow as we go from place to place. Who knows what we will find at each pack or in between. I have a feeling that many will need our guidance as we go,” Aalyiah says with a smile.

The girls smile at each other and nod. This time they will work together and overcome any obstacles.

Queenie instructs Aalyiah on what she needs to say to create the pack bond: “Just a small cut on your palm and each of theirs is all that is needed. You being the most powerful, will automatically become alpha, and they will be your beta and gamma. Just concentrate a little as they make their pledge to you as alpha and the link will open quickly.”

Following the instructions given to her from Queenie, Aalyiah makes a small cut on her palm and Megan’s palm. Connecting them gives a faint tingle to each person, then Aalyiah cuts her other palm and extends it to Natalie. She had already made a small cut on her palm, so when put together, the trio became one pack. Once it is done, it seems their wolves are happier and freer than they were before. Natalie smiles and hugs Aalyiah and Megan tightly.

“I have never felt more welcome than right now. I don’t know how to thank you both for including me and not leaving me behind. I promise I won’t let either of you down,” Nat says softly.

Laughing, Aalyiah smiles, “Nat, you are the heart of the group. You are the one we want to protect and teach. We want you to become more confident in yourself. We can each achieve what we want as we find a place to call home. No more worrying about being left behind. We will always stick together!”

After traveling for a few hours, the girls find a cave to call it a night in. After making sure no other creature was taking residence in the cave the girls start setting up sleeping areas and a camp fire. Not wanting to be found by the previous pack, they cover the entrance with branches. Making it hard for anyone to know there is a cave in the side of the mountain.

Feeling satisfied with everything, Aalyiah decides to take a walk around the area and check for any kind of wildlife they could cook for dinner. As she is searching she can hear faint sounds. Walking closer to the noise, Aalyiah notices they aren't as alone out here as they thought. Watching the guy fight a group of rogues, Queenie pushes to get closer to the action.

"What is going on??" Aalyiah asked Queenie. Not understanding the feelings going through her body at the time.

"We can help him! He needs our help before he is overpowered. We can do it if we work together as a team!" Queenie replies happily.

"Are you causing all of the feelings in my body right now?"

"No, that would be due to our MATE!" Queenie spins in circles in Aalyiahs mind. "We found him, isn't he dreamy? Now we must make sure nothing happens to him! Help MATE!" Queenie starts pushing to come forward.

Aalyiha, still confused by what is going on struggles to keep control. "Queenie are you sure he is our mate? What if he rejects us?"

"Mate won't reject us, Aalyiah. He was made just for us. Mother wouldn't abandon us completely. We have a bond that no one can break."

Giving in, Aalyiah lets Queenie take over and join the fight. At least she learned some things before they decided to make her the pack slave.Queenie jumps into the fray and starts attacking one of the wolves, biting his neck until she hears a crack. She jumps off the body as it slumps to the ground and looks for the next target. As she is looking around she notices her mate has noticed her as well. She wags her tail seeing that all the enemies have been neutralized.

Walking closer to her mate, Queenie decides it is best to give Aalyiah the chance to introduce them, so she pulls back as soon as she is within reach of the unknown mate. Aalyiah finds herself staring at the most handsome man she has ever seen. She blushes when she realizes he is staring at her.

"He-Helllo. Do you need any more assistance or are you hurt?" Aalyiah asks the stranger staring at her.

"No, I am not injured." He responds with deep voice. "Are you injured anywhere?" His eyes keep scanning her from head to toe.

"I am very well, thanks," Aalyiah glances at him and back at the ground. Queenie keeps nudging her to get closer to the mysterious man. "Mate" Queenie forces Aalyiah to say softly.

The man smiles widely, "I was wondering if you noticed I am your mate or not. I have been walking the woods for a while looking for you. I picked up your sent miles away and have been on a mission to find you since!" He reaches out and touches Aalyiah's hand. The sparks make both of them smile at each other.

"My name is Aalyiah. A couple of friends and myself decided to leave our pack and find our mates. They are waiting for me back at the cave. Would you care to join us for dinner? We can get to know more about each other."

The man holds onto her hand and looks into her eyes with a smile, "I would be honored. I have been looking for you for years. I was starting to think I wasn't blessed til I came across your scent today. Now I don't want to part from you. By the way, my name is Patrick. My friends call me Pat. It is an honor to meet such a beautiful woman.

Aalyiah blushes, her ears even turning red, "Thank you. You are a blessing I didn't see coming when this day started. I was just curious if I would find my mate when I stumbled upon you." Turning, while still holding Pat's hand, Aalyiah began to lead Pat back to the cave they found earlier. She hopes the others are too worried about her.
