Chapter 11

Luna Kate POV:

Alanis seems to want help. I can help her trace her family, hell I can even take her to her family, but I worry if that is what she needs. It is not up to me to decide what is best for her. As she comes into her powers, I am sure she will want more answers. Some of those answers can only come from the two people who tried to get her away from all of this.

I go to the bookcase and begin looking for the wolf record of her particular line of wolves. I find the book after looking for a few moments. "Here is it. You can trace your family in this book if you want," I say. I hand her the book. She looks at the cover and then waits before opening it. Is she afraid of what is inside the book?

"You are an Imperial wolf, and both your pack and your husband's pack are both here? Is that complicated, two packs on one land?" Alanis asks.

"Yes, it is complicated, but we are all here on one territory. At least for now. It is not working out all that great. Our wolf pack is quite arrogant and selfish. I can see you are not like that, but many of us are very arrogant and childish. I was at one time. I had a hard time. I almost lost my husband and my children, but I found my way, and you will too," I answer her.

I look over to see Belle at the door. She is intrigued by Alanis. For one, she knows she is like her, and Belle is curious how Alanis will help her. I am curious myself. I want to know what Alanis has inside her that is so important to Belle.

"She is intrigued with you because you are like her. She can heal wolves and so much more. She has a gift like yours, Alanis. You have to learn to use it correctly," I try to press on Alanis that the gifts are dangerous and need to be used correctly. I wish someone would have been here to help me. Maybe I would not have gone off the deep end and almost lost my family.

"What did she mean by I am an elite wolf? I do not understand," Alanis says. Her face is pained and inquisitive. There is so much going on with her. I remember how hard it was when my powers started pouring into me.

"It is difficult to explain, but I can show you tomorrow. There is so much to show you about the spiritual realm and how we have our ancestors to help us. We are not just wolves; we are witches and vampires. We have a unique bloodline, and you are part of the line my mother and father helped create," I say to her. Maybe I am telling her too much, too fast. Should I ease into all of this? I do not have the time to pet her. She has to know.

"Vampires, witches, and wolves, this is a lot to take in at once," Alanis says. She sits down, letting it all sink into her mind. I go to her and sit beside her. I take her hand, and Belle joins us. We form a circle as energy bounces between the three of us.

"We are one," Belle says.

The energy between the three of us is strong. I can feel the power between Belle and Alanis. Their power is much different from mine.

"You are so strong, Alanis," I say to her.

The door opens, and Conrad comes into the room. "Luna Kate, I need to speak with you," Conrad says. He stares at Alanis for a moment. I wonder if he looks familiar to him. Alanis should look familiar to him. Conrad knows her parents, and he is one of us.

"Who are you?" He asks Alanis.

I decide not to mention Alanis's parents but instead make the introduction simple. Just in case Alanis chooses not to meet her parents. I do not want to make things strange for her or anyone else here.

"This is Alanis. She is one of us but stronger. I think we talked about her," I say.

Conrad rushes past me to Alanis. He recognizes her. I am not sure if this is good or bad. He is perfectly harmless. He is helpful to me when dealing with the imperials and is always a gentleman.

"Hello Alanis, I am Conrad. I am an elite wolf just like you. I would love to help you in any way I can. Consider me at your service," Conrad says.

Conrad kisses the top of Alanis's hand. She looks really uncomfortable, and Alpha Sebastian and Alpha Erick are back to make matters worse. Alpha Sebastian is standing in the doorway, and he seems like he is ready to shred Conrad into pieces.

Alpha Sebastian clears his throat to get Conrad's attention. "Conrad, It is nice to meet you. This is my husband, Alpha Sebastian," Alanis says.

Conrad looks embarrassed as he turns to introduce himself to Alpha Sebastian. "I meant no disrespect. We are from the same wolf tribe. I only want to be of service to her and you, Alpha," Conrad says.

"Of course," Alpha Sebastian says. I can tell he is a little pissed, but he handles it well. Alpha Erick would not have handled it that well. He probably would have killed him on the spot.

Conrad leaves quickly but takes one last look at me and smiles before leaving the room. "Nice to meet you, Alanis; I hope we speak again," Conrad says. Alpha Sebastian growls but quickly stops. He looks over at Alpha Erick. If he only knew that Alpha Erick would not think any less of him if he put Conrad in his place, this might have gone farther.

"He is harmless," I say, trying to soothe the tension in the room.

"She is right. Conrad is one of the few elite wolves that Luna Kate interacts with since we found out about the elite wolves. The elite wolves are very different than the imperials. They are stronger and have more powers, but not as strong as Belle, at least not yet," Alpha Erick says.

Both Alanis and Alpha Sebastian look confused. "I do not understand any of this," Alanis says.

"Do not worry; sometimes I do not either. I will give you a crash course tomorrow on everything I do know. We are still learning about the wolves that have elite powers. It is a learning process. I tried to get help from the Weeping Wolf, but that backfired, and here we are. I hope we can learn a lot from each other and help each other, Alanis," I say.

She shakes her head. "Well, I am not sure I can help you, but I want to learn what is going on with me. I do not want to hurt anyone," Alanis says.

"Are her parents still alive?" Alpha Sebastian asks.

I hesitate to answer. This subject is not one I want to go all the way into yet, but it may be the best thing for her, and then again, this revelation could be a disaster. I look to Alpha Erick for reassurance.

"They are alive, and I will take Alanis to see them tomorrow, if that is what she wants," I say.

"Thank you," Alanis says.
