Chapter 51 CHAPTER 51
"I don't understand how she ever thought I would choose her as my Luna and mate when the whole pack knows I have been waiting for Raven for years." I said confused.
"The parents telling the child they can be more if they do things section ways. It is sad to see such behaviors in our pack. We are better than that. We are supposed to be above all the pettiness in the world. And embrace everyone with love. We were chosen by our ancestors to be more. The past few years I have seen them come with more uncivilized behaviors we must start to teach the children of the Fire Sky the way of our ancestors." Mother said.
"You're right as always Mother. Even I have behaved poorly. I hope I can receive forgiveness and gain love. I was chosen to lead our people anger solves nothing." I said.
"You are learning my son. Go do your work. I will take Bre up when she gets here." Mother said.
"Thank you Mother. Have Bre put on the second floor in a nice room. Please?" I asked. Mother nodded and went to meet Bre. I went into my office and sat in my chair at my desk. I reached out to some of our allies, but none had seen any signs of rouges in or around their area.
"We are watching, Titan. I will call you right away. If you need reinforcement let me know I can send them right away." Alpha Dawson said. Just like the others. Ten minutes after I talked to Dawson. Alpha Garrison called me.
"Titan, a couple of my men just came back from doing a long distant scouting. About two hundred miles from you they saw a large group of rouges headed your way. They have a wagon with a cage on it. Three men inside the cage. They did not look good. Also, in about a day, you should be receiving a female rouge. They did not disturb her journey but left one of my men following her in case she needs help." He told me.
"Thank you Garrison it is appreciated. I told him.
"It is not a problem, always glad to help. I'm heading your way in about an hour bring 75 warriors with me who need to let off some steam. I will see you before night fall." He said and hung up. I opened a link to Mother, Lance and my top warriors to come to the office.
"I will be there soon, I will catch up start with out me. Bre is just getting here." Mother said.
"Ok, Mother. Remember what I said about Jessica. Bre better understand the consequences if someone access my floor with her keycard." I told her.
"Relax son. She already understands.
I closed the link just as the guys came into the room.
RAVEN'S POV
It was nice having no one around it was peaceful and quiet for a change. I removed the canvas from the easel and put up a fresh clean one. As I sat on the bed I dug through the box of things Titan had got me. I know he said there was a charcoal set in the box. But with everything still in packages all I could smell was the plastic wrap. I got frustrated and threw the box away from me pulling my knees up to my chest. I laid my head on my knees and cried quietly out of frustration. I never heard the door open, but I could smell their scents as they came into the room.
"Raven, I would have knocked, but I heard you crying, are you ok sweetheart?" Luna Loria asked.
"Sorry, I got frustrated, everything is in packages so I can't find what I'm looking for. I told her.
"What were you looking for?" a young girl’s voice asked.
"Raven this is Bre she Just got her wolf and is in her eighteenth year. She has been hired to assist you." Luna explained.
"I don't need a babysitter. Luna. I said.
"No, you don't but someone who can open packages and sort things so you can find them. Someone to chat with or be sure you don't end up on the wrong floor again. Would be good yes." Luna Loria said. I could feel her smile.
"I will for one day if anything happens, forget it. Sorry Bre no offense to you they think I need a babysitter." I said.
"None taken, I will accept if after a day you decide you don't want me back I will accept it. But I have a feeling you will like having me around. I removed all the packaging while we have been talking will that help?" Bre said.
I reached for the box and moved my hand around inside. I could tell what things were now but no charcoal.
"I guess there was not any there. I must have heard Titan wrong." I said
"Raven, what is it you are looking for?” Bre asked a second time.
"Titan said he got a charcoal set. But I can't find it." I told her. I heard her moving stuff in the box and then put a wooden box in my hand using both our hands to open the lid and feel the contents. I smiled they hid it well. I thought.
"They have the set in a box, so the piece don't get broken and they don’t make everything black. Would you like me to set it on the tray of the easel for you?" Bre asked. I nodded
"Left or right?" Bre asked from the easel.
"Right please." I told her.
"I will leave you two to get to know each other more, I have a meeting with Titan and Lance. I will be back soon. Bre remember what you were told." Luna Loria said as she left. Oh, I had to hear this I thought.
"Ok Bre, you want any chance of having this job you don't keep secrets from me. What was Luna Loria just talking about?" I asked her. I could hear her swollow hard.
"Raven, my cousin she is twenty-four thinks Alpha will make her his Luna. I was warned not to let her near this floor." Bre said. I started to laugh so hard, so your just here to spy on me then?" I demand to know.
"Oh no. You miss understand I don't like Jessica she is a bitch to me. I would never go against Alpha's rules. Everything that I see and hear stays here. I will not spread rumors, I swear Raven, " Bre said.
"Why is she a bitch to you?" I asked her.
"I listen to my parents, obey the rules, I don't lie ever. You know I was raised to be a respectable pup one who could be depended upon. I was a Sky Child born here. I'm humbled by the ones like you who had to travel home. Jessica says we are privileged. I think we are spoiled, we never had to endure any hardships to be home. She thinks she is better than everyone else.
