Chapter 63 - My wolf
Sarah.
After the meeting, Milano took me to another room. It was not like any other normal room I had ever seen. The room was small and had just a wardrobe, a couch and a mirror.
“This is my room. Mom, Dad and Grandma have their own rooms just like this one. Then there is a room for Liam and another for the gammas. Then again there is a common room. The common room is the biggest and has hundreds of cubicles. Each cubicle is assigned to one member. Extra cubicles are added every year according to the increase in the number of new members.” Milano said,
“Why do you need such cubicles or rooms like this?” I asked.
“I agree that wolves don't need clothes. But we are not just wolves. We are human too. Humans have emotions and they feel shy being naked. Do you remember that you were naked when you woke up after your first shift?” He asked and I nodded.
“The same thing happens every month on the full moon day to every werewolf. Every member of the pack cannot afford a new dress every month. It's better to take it off before it gets ripped by your own wolf. So, all the members go to their assigned places before the moon rises. Then remove the clothes and keep them safely in their cubicle or room. When the moon rises, everyone shifts and comes out of the cubicle or room. Then we go to the woods where we have our own place. We spend the whole night there and return just before the sun rises. Again, repeat the process and get dressed after coming back to human form.” Milano said,
“So, this wardrobe has your clothes?” I asked.
“Yes,” he replied.
“Then where is my room?” I asked.
“Well, couples share a room. We are Alpha and Luna. So we are a couple and so we have to share a room.” He said,
“Does that mean I will shift today?” I asked.
“Yes, you will and you can meet your wolf. If you want you can meet your wolf before you shift. But for that, you have to be alone. I will leave for a little bit. Just look into the mirror and call your wolf.” Milano left the room.
I looked at myself in the mirror. I closed my eyes and called my wolf and the next thing I heard was another voice.
“Jovita, I am Sarah, your wolf.”
I opened my eyes and in the mirror, my wolf looked at me. She has white and black fur and has golden eyes which are really attractive.
“I'm sorry, I never knew that you were inside me from the very beginning.” I apologized.
“No Jovita, you don't have to apologize. I wasn't tied up or suppressed inside you. Your mother and grandmother made me sleep for years so that both of us would be safe. They performed such magic that I was woken up only when our mates marked you. We have to go a long way Jovita. Now get undressed, the moon is going to rise.” My wolf said and just disappeared.
I opened the wardrobe and there were only Milano's clothes. I slowly removed mine and wrapped a towel before Milano came.
“Wow, you are beautiful.”
Milano complimented me as soon as he saw me. The heat inside me suddenly started to rise. But before I understood what was happening, I was pinned to the wall and my lips were sealed by him. The air around us suddenly became so hot and he got away from me.
“We don't have time, I'll continue later what I was doing.”
He just smiled and undressed himself in front of me. He didn't wrap a towel. He stood there in his all might challenging my patience. I looked away from him. Suddenly, the pain came back and I knew I was shifting. The shift wasn't painful like the first time. We went into the woods and settled there for the night. Two wolves were brought and I at once understood them. They are traitors.
“We all know that we don't forgive traitors. They have betrayed the pack and accepted their crime. Now it's time for their punishment. I, Alpha Leo, announce them guilty and order to execute them tonight.”
I was shocked to hear the verdict. He didn't even give them a chance to keep their side. Is this the law of the pack? Don't they deserve a chance? But before I could say anything, the two wolves were taken to the side. I could hear their pleading and yet was helpless. The rest of the night went by meeting everyone. Milano took me back to the pack house when it was nearly time for the sunrise.
We were back at the mansion by sunrise. I called Mary and informed her that we were back. She came back with a sleeping Teddy. I took a little nap by his side. This time I saw the dream again. It wasn't as if I was living the dream. Both my mother and grandmother came in my dream. They explained everything including how I was kept like a human for such a long time. I talked to my mother for the first time. I didn't feel like I was dreaming. It was like I was living in the moment and I never wanted to end it. I hugged them both and shared my worries. They gave me advice and showed me the right way to go.
Grandma didn't miss a single moment we lived together at the Salazar mansion. She told me how her own son didn't know that she was a witch. How she kept the truth away from her husband and son. How she taught magic to my mother. How they passed on their legacy to me. How I was able to do magic without help. They gave me advice on using magic. They guided me on what I have to do to save my people, my kingdom.
For the first time, I felt like a princess. I now know my responsibilities as a princess and what I have to do when I wake up which I wished I never would. I hugged them both before coming out of the bubble of dreams. I opened my eyes to a new beginning and to end what was wrong.
