Joining Black Moon

Chapter 9

I get a mind link that my parents are pulling through the gate and I make my way down to the front door. As I step out of the elevator my mom bust through the door heading to me. She gives me a big hug and tears start to fall. My heart brakes my mom is a strong woman and I’ve only seen her cry 4 times in my whole life and it still wasn’t like this. My dad puts a hand on my shoulder then slowly pull her to him. “ B I’m gunna take her to the room and get her to calm down…”before he could finish “ If you think I’m going to go relax you are mistaken and don’t know me at all! Now where is Sand I need to see what been done and what else you two dim wits didn’t think of?!” She bolts for the elevator and shuts the door before we could even register what she said. Dad and I just make eye contact shake our heads. We both walk to the stairs to get up there before mom starts to re do anything. Once we make it up there and make sure mom is okay and not have everything redone we head into the office to see if there is any progress on what the hell happened to my aunts pack.

** Raelynn’s POV**

Shifting in my seat trying to get comfortable my a** is starting to go numb and my shoulders are hurting. I could switch driving with someone easily right now but this is keeping my head preoccupied. My phone dings and I click the screen on the dash to read the message out loud.

Dylan: Hey guys just a heads up tonight there will be a dinner and induction into the pack. If you need we can stop at the mall before we reach the pack house to get y’all something to wear tonight. But I know some omegas are getting some stuff for y’all already.

I look at Meagan and Ed who both go “Mall”. I shoot back a fast text to let Dylan know we want to stop. All three of us would rather pick our own outfits than hope a random omega gets something we like. I’m the worst though about it I can’t even lie. I jump suddenly as I feel something cold touch my arm. Meagan is laughing as she puts the RedBull in Ed’s hand. I shouldn’t be surprised just glad she didn’t do it on the back of my neck this truck would have rolled. I don’t know why she tortures me like that but I let it slide knowing she’s laughing. She’s always been more sensitive than Ed or I and right now she could get away with murder if we knew it made her smile. Ed tries me to switch out with him for the 50th time and finally I let out a low warning growl at him to knock it off. We are finally about an hour out and I can’t wait I just want to get this over with eat my feeling with kolaches and go to bed. But of course we have to get formalities out of the way. Also the excitement to see Sand and Brayden’s mom Daphne is unreal. I just want a hug from Daphne and have her tell me everything is all right. I’m also nervous to see Brayden hoping I don’t act like a blubbering i***t like I did as a kid.

Zoned out driving I hear FINALLYS!! Come out all around me. I see the sign saying we have 30 miles till West. Thank the Goddess I’m ready to be off the road and eat some kolaches. I start to see Dylan spit off the highway as I follow the other two cars keep going on. As we pull into the parking lot we all jumped out so fast I almost didn’t put the truck in park. I grab some of our cash to get some goodies. I grab some beer bread, some German sausage enough to took for all the ranked members, some hogies, and a few of the cakes as well. Ed went and grabbed a few cases of Dr Pepper for us to stock up the Aloha floor for us. We join Meagan and Dylan in line to get all of the kolaches. We load everything in the Dylan’s truck and head for the pack mall. God I hate shopping like no other Ed and I will be in and out fast but Meagan won’t. After another 30 minutes we finally come to the Black Moon gate. It’s a lot bigger than I remember and they added a 10 ft privacy wall. Brayden must have seriously bumped up security measures around here. The gates open and we pull through without any word being said. We all look at eachother slightly surprised there wasn’t an inspection or ID. After a few short minutes we pull into the pack mall. Black moon is one of the rare packs you find that is its own city. And one of the only areas with heavy trees like a forest in this part of Texas. Black Moon last I remember hearing had about 4,000 pack members making it one of the largest in the U.S.

I grown as I get out of the car Ed and I look at eachother dreading going in. Meagan in the other hand is practically running circles around us. She loves to shop and her best form of therapy. I dare say she’s a shopaholic with how stuff just magically appears. Dylan and Ed head for a men’s store as I’m dragged into a Dillards by Meagan. She immediately start to grab clothes shoes and all sort of thing before I even look at a single wrack. I grab her arm and start dragging her to the dress clothes. Dylan told us it wasn’t a formal dress type of this but to still dress like on of our ranks should. As I walk around looking for something Meagan is already pulling dresses for us both this just became like a 2 hour thing. Then a dress catches my eye and I knew it was perfect and told her to put everything back she got for me. She just huffs and do as she’s told if she had it her way I would be like a personal Barbie to dress up.
