Chapter 32 ~ Meeting Part 2 & A Happy Announcement
Zarina
I nodded at Dixon’s comment and heard Izabella gasp in shock a presume.
“How is that even possible?” Izabella asked
“I am not entirely sure myself, but I will let Ivory explain what she knows so far.” I advised

Zarina closed her eyes and when she reopened her eyes Ivory was the one who was looking at us. I would never get over how beautiful and unique her eyes are with the white color with silver flecks in them. Where most wolves only had their eyes change Zarina and Ivory’s hair also shifted to a whiter color with silver highlights.
As I watched her shift from Zarina to Ivory she amazed me with how fast Zarina, and Ivory were able transition between each other it would take someone who was a new shifter around six to eight months to learn what they have already mastered in two days.

I looked around the room and saw everyone, but Rose looks at me in shock except Rose and Zander. Rose had already seen mw do this, but Zander had not seen me do this even, so he knew my whole story right down to what I am about to tell the rest of them.
“Now do I have your attention?” I asked and smiled
“Yes Luna.” Dixon spoke
“Ok so you all know the reason why I left but you do not all know that I am not twenty-one.” I spoke
“How old are you?” Izabella asked
“Well Izabella I am eighteen and I shifted for the first time the night I arrived here on my eighteenth birthday.”
“How is this possible? I am sorry Luna I am not trying to say you are lying I just have never heard of someone shifting so young.” Dixon spoke
He looked at me when he spoke not believing me one hundred percent.
“Dix sweetheart I was raised with Rina, and I can tell you I was there the day she was born, and she is only just turned eighteen.” Rose spoke
“I believe you because Rose has been with you all your life but how is this even possible?” He asked
“I do not know the whole story yet, but I was able to connect with a voice in my mind that seems to know a lot about me.” I paused, “I am not sure why they know so much but something tells me I need to trust this person. Zarina and I are going to be meeting with her in the dream world to learn more about ourselves.”
Alexzander & Titan
“I do not like that I did not know this about our mate Titan how do you feel?” I asked
“I feel the same way, but they had their reasons for waiting let us talk to them tonight before bed.” Titan advised
“How about this we give them the night to have this meeting of sorts with the voice that has been speaking with Ivory.” I paused, “As of right now this is all that Ivory and Zarina know. I am sure they will learn a great deal more tonight.” I spoke
Ivory nodded in agreement and closed her eyes and when they reopened Zarina also nodded in understanding.
“Let’s move on to the third and fourth topics that we are her to discuss as they are both connected.” I paused and smiled, “When should we have the ceremony officially making both Rosa and Zarina one with pack. Also, when should we hold the Luna ceremony to make Zarina our official Luna.”
Zarina and Rosa smiled at each other in excitement.
“How about we have them initiated into the pack this weekend which is only two days away!” Dixon spoke excitedly
He was smiling at Rosa, and she leaned into him, and they kissed gently then they pulled away and looked at me expectantly.
“I like that Idea as well but how about we hold the Luna ceremony on the same night as it falls on a full moon which is when we hold Luna ceremony’s usually.” Izabella advised
I looked at Zarina to see her reaction and she was smiling but I could tell something was bothering her.
“How about we take a quick break about five minutes.” I informed
“Yes Alpha.” Everyone got up and went to the kitchen to mingle
“Love.” I spoke through the mate bond
She looked at me.
“Are you ok?” I asked
“Yes, but I am just nervous will I make a good Luna I am so young?” Zarina asked
“You will make an amazing Luna and joint leader of this pack.” I paused, “If you are worried, you and I could always ask Bell for help. She has been playing the Role of Luna for the last four almost five years I am sure she would love to offer advice.” I smiled
“Do you think she would mind if we asked her for help, I do not want to be a burden on her?” Zarina asked
“Well let’s find out now.” I spoke

Izabella
I was relaxing in the kitchen with Rufus, and I asked him through our link.
“Do you mind if we tell them tonight after the meeting, I would love to please Rufus?” I asked
He smiled at me with content and spoke.
“No, I love that idea my Love I cannot wait so we can be more open about it.”
“Thank you Love.” I gave him a deep kiss
“Bell please come in here only you though.” Alex asked through the mind link
I pulled away and smiled.
“Got to go Alex wants to talk to me.” I spoke
Rufus smiled and while no one was looking he rubbed my belly and I smiled at him even more.

Izabella reentered the room and smiled.
“Go ahead and ask her Zarina.” I smiled with encouragement
“Ask me what?” Izabella asked
She spoke nervously.
“Would you mind showing me how to be a good Luna?” She paused, “You have been doing a wonderful job for the last four years or so and I would like a few pointers.”
Izabella looked stunned I smiled because that was the first time, I had seen my sister lost for words.
“Oh, my goddess YES I WOULD LOVE TOO!” She exclaimed with a large smile
Izabella ran up to her and gave her a great big hug and I saw my mate blush at the excitement.
“Ok now that we have done that lets get back to the meeting.” I paused, “Everyone join us back in the room please.” I called them loudly
Everyone walked back in the room and sat back down in their original seats.
“I agree with both Dixon and Izabella we should have both the Pack initiation and the Luna ceremony on Saturday this weekend. We should do it under the full moon.” I smiled at them
I especially at Rin as I was ecstatic to finally have my Luna at my side where she belonged.
“Yes, that will be perfect well ladies tonight you rest but tomorrow we prepare for your ceremonies.” Izabella spoke
I nodded.
“So, if no one has anything else to add we will end this meeting here and everyone can go home to get some sleep.”
“Actually, Rufus and I have a little something to add.” Izabella spoke
Everyone looked over at her and waited for her to continue.

Izabella
“Well, what do you have to add little sis?” Alexzander asked
I smiled and Rufus held my hand and squeezed gently for reassurance.
“Well brother dear it seems that you and now Rina are going to be an aunt and an uncle.” I smiled
Alexzander stopped and seemed like he was in shock for a second and them a great big smile spread across his face. He stood up and picked me up in a bear hug.
“Put her down Zander you need to be gentler with her.” Zarina scolded
He put me down and checked to make sure I was ok with a sheepish grin on his face. Alex then looked at Rufus and stuck out his hand to shake his hand and slap his back.
“Well, it looks like you will be a father first Rufus I cannot wait to meet my new niece or nephew.
Zarina walked up and gave me a hug.

Zarina
I was hugging Bella when Ivory asked me.
“Do you hear that Zarina?”
“Hear what?” I asked
“Just listen.”
I listened and after five seconds I heard it a faint heartbeat other thank Bella’s but then I listened more carefully and heard a third heartbeat.
“Bella, may I?” I motioned to her stomach asking to listen
“Yeah, go ahead Luna.” She spoke
I got down on my knees and listened to her stomach. There it was two distinct heart beats one slightly lower than the other, but it was there.
“Bella have you and Rufus had an ultrasound yet?” I smiled
“No not yet we are supposed to have one on Monday next week as I am one month along then.”
“Well, I have some news for you.”
“What is it.” She paused, and her lip quivered “Is there something wrong with the baby?” She asked
“Just the opposite.” I shook my head “Nothing is wrong with the baby well either baby that is.”
“That is great…” She stopped and paused, “What do you mean babies.”
“Ivory pointed out that she heard something, and I listened. She was right you are not having one baby you are having two.” I smiled
“Two what.” A smile spread across her face, “That’s amazing right Rufus.”
“Yes, sweetheart that is great…” Rufus paused, “No wonder you have had to put on baggy sweaters to hide your pregnancy from the others. Until now we just though the baby was just going to be big but having two babies in there makes sense.” He smiled

Izabella
“We need to talk dear heart when we get home tonight after the meeting.” I sent a mind link
“About what love.” he linked back and smiled
I did not answer him, and his smile slipped off his face slightly.

Zarina
Izabella glared at him temporarily and looked away shaking her head.
“Now that we have discussed everything that we need to at the moment how about everyone goes home and gets some rest.” Alexzander spoke
“Yes Alpha.” They all spoke
“Do you want help with the clean up?” Rosa asked
“We should be fine thanks though sis I will see you tomorrow.” I spoke and gave her a hug
I hugged and shook the hands of everyone as they were leaving and then it was finally just the two of us again.
