Luna or Beast (Awakening Kingdom)

CHAPTER 4 - RESEARCH

POV ELIZABETH

I welcomed Dawn and Aria to my home we sat down to eat our dinner and surprisingly for Arias age she was so well behaved. My old wolf MEEKA kept nagging at me about Dawn scent how it wasn’t completely human. It was not wolf and for this I would be putting my pack in danger. But I also knew no ordinary wolf would notice the diferencie. Being 803 year old means you get a whiff here and there of other shifters. I just can’t punt my finger on it. All have to do some research and back ground check on her. Now that I think of it doing this will also relax my grandson once he finds out I have “human” on his territory, and if something dangerous or non-human pops up all tell him if needed. So it will be a need to know basis because MEEKA an me don’t feel any danger from her at least not yet we juat feel the need to protect them.

“So Dawn where are you from?” I asked

She takes her time thinking

“I umm.. am from California”

“What about your parents? Sorry I ask is just you last name is pretty old, right?” I tell her like if I was asking her and had doubts

“Mom has live in California since I can remember but now that I think about it I don’t know if she was born there, and well.. I don’t know where my Dad is from he just gave me my last name, showed up on my 18ten birthday and disappeared again.” She said with no emotions.

“But yeah my dad last name is very old, I think in the beginning of high school I had to do a project of family trees and last names for history class it turn out it was register in 1925, I think it was from Germany am not sure. Now that I think about it my teacher was weird and even paid for one of those DNA tests for ancestry, turns out some great grandmother or grandfather was from Kazakhstan“ Dawn said while eating and cleaning Arias mouth with a cloth.

“Oh that’s interesting” is all I could manage to say. I was shocked I had to look a this very carefully hopefully it was nothing to worry about.

“Ujum. Mmm this dessert though is so good, could I get the recipe I love to bake now and then to relive stress” she said while filling her mouth with food.

I chuckled at her antics seems like the girl loves food.

“All tell the the cook to write the recipe for you.” I tell her.

We finished in comfortable silence, walked her thru one of our back doors and showed her the garden. Aria was falling asleep on her shoulders. MEEKA was nagging to scent her again, is basically hug her that way out scents rubs on her so she has our pack smell and is protected is something wolfs do with family. Yet I don’t understand where the urge is coming from she not my blood. MEEKA shakes her fur and says in my mind “Eli we must protect them stop being stubborn” to which I respond “You need to relaxe old she-wolf the hug from earlier will have to do till tomorrow, stop being so stubborn, you know Dawn notices earlier we where smelling her” to what she response “this olde wolf has kept you alive all this time and you haven’t scented Dawn, keep calling me old and you see whose old if I disappear for a week ” to what I just chucked she I knew she disliked being called old and she would never leave me not yet.

I knew my designated body guard Jess was nearby has instructed and mind-linked him to come to the back yard. As he approached us he coughed. I acted surprised and glad he was there.

“I believe you two know each other non-the less Dawn, Jess is my trusted bodyguard for many years. Jess before you leave can you please escorts Dawn and little Aria to there new home please” I instructed

“Of course” He answered

“Oh Dawn, you can star on 3 days your training that will give you an opportunity to settle in. We will be having lunch tomorrow at noon if you would like to join. Good night.” I told Dawn

“Thank you Elizabeth. Good night to you too.” She answered while walking up the hill.

I watched has the walked up wile mind-linking Jess “Please do a back ground check on Dawn and look up any information on the surname of Katz specially the ones from Kazakhstan country. This must remain between us Jess no body else is to be involve not even my grandson the Alpha at least not yet.”

“Yes grand-luna”

“Thank you, Please give my apology’s to your mate for keeping you this late.” I tell him thru our link

“No worries grand-Luna she understands” Jess answer

Closing our link I enter my home and open a new link to my grandson to schedule a meeting. I was dreading all I wanted was their happiness but I had to give him the news.

He immediately open our link “Grandmother is everything ok?” I could feel the worry on his voice

“Yeas I am fine my sweet boy. I just need to schedule a meeting for tomorrow there something I need to discuss with you and your sister” I tell him trying to calm him down

He chuckles and tells me;

“You know I am your alpha now nothing sweet or boyish about me.“

“I know but humor this old lady would ya” I tell him with a smile

“Al right Al right.. so what do I owe for the pleasure are of this conversation grandma, now that I think of it you barely link me or call me or even text me.”

“Oh darling you know I don’t like to bother you . I am perfectly able to handle my responsibilities within the pack and council.. dint I raise you, your troubling sister, and ran the pack until you where of age? Don’t star doubting me now!” I said wile doing my skin care routine

“Never” was he’s answer

I immediately stop what I was doing when i heard the seriousness in his voice

“Oh darling I am sorry I dint mean to upset you.”

“I know you din’t grandmother. So how about we meat after breakfast at 9:30am, are conjoined calendar says Lara and me should be available” Jayson answers

“That’s perfect. How is you sister doing has stand-in luna?” I asked him

“She a good.. actually she is a pain in the a***s but she’s good. Really has me praying the moon goddess my mate and luna is not so intense.”

I chuckled hearing him rant about his sister like when they where kids “I can imagine, all I can advise you is to be patient with her, she has an Female Alpha wolf those are rear and is harder for her to control her emotions. When she finds her mate it will be alote better and hopefully better than me.”

He laughed and it made me smile is being a while since he laughed. I don’t bother him much but it doesn’t mean I don’t check up on him with pack members. I know that the years have been hard on him. Becoming one of the strongest Alpha and pack of North America means you had to have done, see, and fought some ugly wars. But I knew who he was a kind hearted, loyal, protective and lovable man, he was just buried deep within he’s mask. As I get in to bed I say my good byes;

“Well darling I will see you tomorrow morning. Goodnight my sweet boy”

“Goodnight grandmother” he says while closing our link

I give a prayer to our moon goddess to give me strength to give my grandchildren the news tomorrow and to please guide our grandsons mate to us before is too late.
