Chapter 49 ~ Flight & Arrival
Chapter 49 ~ Flight & Arrival
Zarina
When the helicopter landed, we waited for the blades to stop rotating. Once they stopped the pilot door opened and out stepped a tall slender young man with platinum blonde hair, he looked to be in his late twenty’s.
“Bella why are we flying and not driving back?” Rose spoke with confused look on her face
“Well, there is one more tradition that needs to be completed so you can both become one with the pack as our Luna and female Beta.” Bella advised
“What is the tradition, Bella?” I asked
“All I can tell you is it needs to be completed before the sun sets the night before the pack initiation ceremony.” she paused, “However I am unable to give you anymore information on what the tradition is because it’s a surprise and due to the time sensitive nature you will be flying back so we are not late.” She smiled
“Fine I will wait.” I sighed, “I will not ask you anymore information, but I hope this surprise will be a good one and beside from what I heard you can keep a secret and noting will get you to divulge it.” I advised
“What who told you that?” Izabella asked with curiosity
“Oh, just a little birdy I will not divulge my sources.” I smiled
I could tell Bella was about to press the issue when Rufus spoke up.
“I think we should get going Bell sweetheart.”
Bella looked over and smiled at him.
“Well, your source is correct I am fiercely loyal and noting you say will make me answer either one of you.” Bella paused, “Now how about we get on board.”
She gestured for me to lead the way followed by Rose and then her and Rufus.
I stopped directly in front of the tall blonde man and asked him.
“So, who are you and where are we going?”
“Hello Luna Zarina, my name is Harper I’m a long-time friend of Alpha Alexzander I’m also the top tracker for the pack and the only one who has a pilot’s licence.” He smiled, “For today I will be the expert pilot who will be flying you to your secret destination and before you ask, I have been sworn to secrecy.” He smiled
Harper opened to big door on the side so we could enter the chopper once inside and seated I noticed there were three seat available, and I sat in the middle seat.
“Where is Rufus going to sit?” I asked confused
“Do not worry I will sit up front with Harper you girls can all sit together in the back.” Rufus advised
“Okay that sounds good.” I nodded in understanding
We all climbed in, Harper turned around to face us and spoke.
“Have you two ever flown before?” he asked
Both Rose and I shook our heads no.
“Okay well I will have you both put on the head sets for the flight.”
“Okay but why?” I asked
“Well two reasons.” he paused, “With our advanced hearing it will be hard to fly if you ears are ringing from the sound out the blades this close and also because we can all communicate much more easily.” He advised
“Ahh okay that makes sense.” Rose spoke
I nodded in agreement.
“Oh, and before you two put on the headphones.” she paused and pulled out two blind folds, “I want you two to wear these blindfolds, so you do not see where we are going.” She smiled
“Really, we need to wear these why?” Rose questioned
“Yes, because we both know that Zarina can see at great distances and the surprise will be ruined so she needs to wear one and I know you would not want her doing this alone.” She smiled a big toothy grin looking back and forth between the two of us
We both sighed and nodded grabbing a blindfold each placing them over our eyes securing them behind our heads.
“I will help you with the headsets ladies.” Bella advised
She helped us put on our headsets on.
“Ok let’s get going.” I heard Harper say over the head set
I heard the chopper engine start up and I could hear the blades begin to rotate.
“How long will the flight be?” I asked
“The flight will not take very long only about an hour and a half.” Harper paused, “Why don’t you two try to get some rest the flight will just by.” Harper laughed
I groaned inwardly at the joke.
“No one else finds that funny but you Harper.” Rufus spoke
“I know but had to flight humor and all.” Harper spoke
“Ok I am going to have a nap is there a way to turn off the head set?” I asked
“Yes, there is a switch up here that will turn it off I will flip the switch now for you Luna.” Harper advised
After about 2 minutes I heard was the faint sound of the helicopter and I began to wonder what the surprise was. I smiled to myself trying to think of what it could be, but I did not know how exhausted I actually was from shopping. When the helicopter lifted off the swaying motion started to rock me to sleep and before I knew it, I dozed off.

Alexzander
I looked around with pride at what the pack had accomplished in such a short amount of time.
I spoke through the pack link to everyone in the pack.
“Thank you everyone who helped to make this possible in such a brief period of time you all did a wonderful job, and you have all made you Alpha proud to call you, his pack.” I paused, “I know my Zarina your future Luna will appreciate what you all have done for her to make her feel welcome and one of us.”
“The same goes for Rosa you future female Beta I know she will appreciate everything you have done.” Dixon advised the pack, you should all head back home so they will both be surprised.”
“Yes Beta.” They all acknowledged and headed back to their homes
After everyone was out of site, I turned to look at Dixon and spoke.
“Are you ready my friend?” I asked
“Hell, yes I am we have both waited a long time for this to happen.” Dixon advised
I heard the faint sound of the helicopter and smiled.
“Ok Dixon my friend it is time to get into place.”
Dixon nodded and we ran toward the dock to take out place side by side waiting for our mates to arrive.

Bella
I gently shook Zarina’s and Rosa’s arms to wake them as they had both dozed off and spoke to them through the headset.
“Zarina we are about to land.” Bella spoke
Zarina and Rosa both sat up and I noticed they were both reaching for their blindfolds when I spoke.
“I need you two to both keep your blindfolds on for now ok.”
“Fine.” Zarina spoke groggily
Rosa nodded and asked, “For how much longer?”
“Rufus, and I will help you out and onto the ground and each one of us will walk you to your destination with the blindfolds still on.”
They both nodded in understanding.
Rufus and I exited the helicopter followed by Harper once we were safely on the ground.
“Just one second ladies and we will be right with you.”
They both nodded again.
I spoke through the link to harper and Rufus.
“Rufus give Harper the rings to bring to them.”
“Yes, my love.” Rufus replied
Once harper had the rings, he took off running toward the dock.
I smiled and turned to my new sisters.
“Ok first Zarina.”
I grasped her hand and Rufus the other hand and we assisted her of the helicopter. Once she was on the ground, I advised her.
“Ok Rina, I need you to wait right there for a minute while we get Rosa off the helicopter next.”
“Ok Bella.” Zarina spoke
We assisted Rosa off next and once they were both side by side I spoke.
“Zarina I will walk with you and Rosa you will walk with Rufus to your final destination for your surprise.”
“Bella the suspense is killing us.” Rosa advised
“I know but it will be well worth it in a moment or two, and I promise you will both love the surprise.”
They both nodded and we walked in silence toward Alex and Dixon.
We stopped at the edge of the dock and turned them around to face the opposite direction, so they faced away from Alex and Dixon. We released their hands and helped to untie their blindfold.

Zarina
“Zarina and Rosa, we are removing your blindfolds so you may see the surprise that awaits you both.” Bella advised
After the blindfold was removed, I blinked a few times the readjust my eyes the sun was very bright today. Once my eyes had readjusted, I noticed I was looking directly at Bella.

Rosa
It took me a minute to readjust my eyes to the light but when I did, I noticed that Rufus was standing directly in front of me and Bella in front of Rina.
"Well, I know you both are not our surprise." I smiled
"Well how about you both turn around and find out what your surprise is." Bella advised.

Zarina
I looked at Rose and she looked at me and we nodded at each other and turned around together.
