chapter 35
I didn't have as many things as Gram had so Shane and I were able to carry them back to the pack house. I had only packed up my clothes and my essentials. As soon as we walked into the pack house a few servants rushed us and took the bags.
"You don't have to do that. I don't mind.." I said to her
"Luna it is our pleasure to serve you and Alpha. Please let us help."
It came as a shock to see just how eager they were to help us. This is something that I am not used to. However, it feels really good to know that I now have all these people on my side... Well, all but one... Claudia.
"Alpha where would you like us to put these things?" she asked Shane
"Please just take them up to my room for now thank you."
After they were out of sight Shane spun me around and kissed me. As my body relaxed I melted into the kiss and kissed him back.
"I love you my Luna.." He said to me
"I think I love you to my Alpha."
I answered and then he kissed the top of my head. I am not completely sure if I am in love with him. I think that I might be but I want to make sure before I fully commit to saying that. Those words hold a lot of meaning for me. I don't like throwing those words around.
"So Luna, what would you like to do today?" He asked me
"Today I want to see what we can find out about your uncle. I want to see what I can find out about why he was at my pack all those years ago. And why he is coming after me now after over 20 years."
"The only way to know for sure is to find someone that survived from your pack."
"Yeah, but I am the only one who survived."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive… Are there any other options?"
"The only other thing I can think of is to talk to a witch and see if she might have any suggestions."
"A witch?"
"Yeah, that is the only suggestion I have. You would need to be able to see into the past to get the information you are looking for. A witch is the only person I know that could do that for you."
"Do you know any witches?"
I laughed... Because I know that I didn't know of any, but yet again I haven't been in the werewolf world in a very long time.
"Well, personally no I don't know any, but I think my mother might.."
"Your mother? I didn't know that they were still alive. You never spoke about them or even mentioned them."
"We don't have the best relationship so they aren't first on my list to talk about."
"I get it."
"For you though, I will get in touch with her and see what she can tell us."
"Listen, I don't want to cause any trouble. You don't have to talk to her if you don't want to. We can figure something else out."
"No my love, I want to plus this is the easiest way."
He would do something like this for me, even though he seemed anxious about talking to her. He keeps proving just how much he cares for me and is an amazing guy. Shane took me by the hand and we went right to his office. He closed the door behind us and immediately sat at his desk. I took the chair that was in front of the desk so that I was too much of a distraction. He started flipping through papers until he found what he was looking for. As much as I wanted to know what it was that he found, I refused to ask. I only sat and watched him get to work. After a minute or so he picked the phone up and began dialing. I could hear the ringing on the other end, but his face showed he was beyond nervous. I got up from my chair and dragged it over to where he was. As I sat next to him, I placed my hand on his leg as an added source of relief and comfort. I wanted him to know that I was there for him and with him every step of the way.
"Yes, can I please speak to Carolina……. This is her son Shane……. Thank you.."
He was silent again...
" Mother… Yes, it has been a long time….. I am doing great honestly. I have finally found my mat... When can you meet her?.... Whenever you want…
You're welcome… That is not the reason why I am calling thought…Yes, I do need your help….. It isn't like that Mother… Something…… Yes, I understand.. Fine… I need you to put me in touch with a witch…"
There was another pause from Shane.
"No Mother, I don't need the witch to put a spell on my mate… Yes, mother I know… I need the witch to help my mate out actually…. No mother, nothing is wrong with my mate… She just…. Mother… right…. When will the 2 of you be able to get here? Tomorrow? Fine…"
He damn near slammed the phone down on the receiver. I knew that it was a lot for him to make that call. I kissed his cheek and he turned to face me…
"I am sorry you had to call her because of me… you didn't have to." I said to him with tears in my eyes.
" I would do anything for you my love…"
When he placed his forehead to him and sighed I knew then that I loved him... All of his actions show his love… it's time that I start to show mine…
" I know before I told you that I think I love you… but I know now that I am in fact in love with you Shane…"
He didn't say a word. He just smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen and picked me up spinning me around in the air like a princess from a movie.
"So we are going to be talking to this witch tomorrow?"
"Yeah, they will be here in the morning."
"They?"
"My mother is coming too.."
"You don't seem happy…"
"I am not… I must warn you, please know that she is very judgemental… so don't take anything she says to heart."
I bit my lip and put my head down... I don't know why she could have to say about me... He lifted my chin to look at him...
"I will be with you the whole time, so don't worry."
"Okay."
I don't know if meeting his mother is a good thing. Why she wouldn't like me? What should I expect regarding his mother? He is making her seem uptight. I don't know if I want to meet her...
"Now that that is taken care of... Do you have anything else you want to do?"
"The next thing is I really want to know why your uncle was following me and how long it has been going on."
"Now that is a little more easier to look into."
"Oh yeah and why is that?"
"When I was at my uncle's pack I made a friend named Jessie. He was there for me for the few days I was there. We kept in touch for a while after I left. And then my uncle made keeping contact rather hard."
"How are you going to contact him now?"
"Well, I am going to call the pack and tell them that he is needed at my pack right away. I will send one of my guards to go and pick him up. That way you and I aren't seen there and it should work."
"What if it doesn't?"
"Don't worry I will think of something."
"Alright."
"But first let's get something to eat."
"Now food I can go for."
Shane quickly got to work and whipped some very delicious food together. Once we had finished eating he got to work right away making the phone call to see if he could get ahold of Jessie. Just like he predicted he couldn't come to the phone so he let whoever it was on the other line that he was sending a car there to pick him up, and that he needed to be ready to go when they got there. Now the only thing left for us to do was to just sit and wait for the driver to get there and then get back here with Jessie.
I hope that Jessie has something that could help me figure out the why and how long part of this mystery. In the meantime, Shane and I just sat in the living room watching TV waiting on Jessie. There wasn't anything much on so Shane was just endlessly scrolling.
I hope Jessie can shed some light on things. I want to find out how long we were being watched. Or to find some kind of motive for Alpha Logan’s actions.
After about two hours or so of us watching and waiting we finally heard the car pull up outside… Shane and I instantly got up and made our way to the front door and opened it waiting for Jessie.
