Blood Moon Wolf

chapter 21

MIA
We had spent the whole morning just messing around at the lake.  It was actually a really romantic and relaxing morning. 
It was everything we needed.
He had thought of everything today, fun food.
We where laying by the lake, curled into his side with my head on his chest. We hadn’t said anything to each other in around 15 minutes.
Just being together was all that was needed between us.
It was peaceful.
But i knew it wasn’t going  to last, there was a war brewing and it wasn’t going to take a break.
“I think we should head back now, its time to face reality”
“i know your right but i love holding you in my arms.”
“i would stay in them forever if i could X”
“I know babe"
We spent a few more minutes together neither of us wanting for leave our peaceful bubble.
We made our way back in peaceful bliss together, holding hands as he drove us back.
But as soon as we walked through the doors of the pack house, our little retreat ended. It was back to reality for us.
You could feel the tension in the house. Everyone knew a war was coming our way.
“How was your morning off?” Jackson asked as he came our way. 
“It was lovely...” i say as i walk past him.
I felt like it all washed away while we spent time at the lake but now its all coiled back up tight.
I turned and watched as some she wolves walked past Jackson and Xzavier, all of them eyeing them both and giggling.
I rolled my eyes as they tried drawing attention to themselves. 
Stupid bitches.
I had better control over my extra heightened senses, so i would no longer be hearing anything, like other peoples conversations, unless i tuned into it to do so.
Jackson and Xzavier seemed to be having a bit of a debate over something but right now i didn’t want to know about what.
As i looked around the pack house and the grounds outside , something stirred in me and even though i could see training and emergency drills being run, i saw people bring in extra previsions in, food emergency equipment ect.
But it wasn’t enough. 
No where near enough.
‘Luna- May i speak with you?’
‘of course dear. I’m in the alphas office’
I made my way to the Alphas office. That nagging feeling that it wasn’t going to be enough getting stronger the more i thought about it.
I knocked on the door before entering.
“Mia darling. How was your romantic morning?”
“It was lovely, much needed.” I smile at my Luna. The Alpha wasn’t here but it wasn’t unusual for the Luna to do her work out of his office either.
“Wonderful...now what was it you wanted to talk about?”
“Um.. first i mean no offence when i ask this but how much extra provisions have we brought in?”
“Well i ordered enough to cater for another pack, extra medical equipment and supplies, enough food and extra clothing and blankets... why?”
“ Again no offence intended but something is pulling at me and telling me we need more.... a lot more.. i haven’t seen anything but it nagged at me as soon as we got back”
“I see... ok I’m not offended but if i show you what i have ordered already and my plans you can make changes where you feel necessary”
“Oh.. um.. i-“
“Mia, your the future Luna of this pack, you are my sons mate, the future mother of my grandbabies, all that alone gives you the right to speak up and check my decisions. But also on top of that your are special, blessed by the blood moon and if you intuition or your gut is saying something then i will trust it because i trust you.  Now i know we havnt been able to speak much with everything going on but i love you dear and you don’t need to be scared of offending me. I’m a big girl i can take criticism”
I chuckled and nodded “i love you too” i say.  Then walk over to the desk as she pulls out her paperwork for me to go over.
I look over her plans and everything and  they are great, she truely is great when it comes to knowing what people need.
“This is great... but the scale of this war is greater and we need to prepare on a scale we haven’t seen in decades... we will definitely need a lot more food, all dry store so it doesn’t go bad, plenty more baby supplies, clothes for both adults and children we could ask those in the pack with kids if they still have old clothes the kids have grown out of and get what ever sizes we could need from there.  Putting those camping cots inn the old training building is a great idea, but again we need more. We could put tents up over the grounds, ask those willing to house other wolves if they have spare room,  pull out all  the outdoor grills we have for extra cooking room.... triple the medical supplies.. “
“This is brilliant. You really are good at this Mia. First the financial ideas you gave now this. Perfect” the luna beams and pulling me into a side hug.
“ we need to discuss this with the pack... i think you should do it. Good practice for you”
I Smile and nod. 
But i didn’t think she meant right now.  I jump beside her as she links the pack.
‘Pack meeting for everyone in 5 minutes’
“Wait now?”
“why not? Gets everything in motion sooner”
“ok” i don’t know why i was so nervous today.

5 minutes later everyone that is available to attend the pack meeting is there in the room to listen. Its a little more then half the pack.
But in situations like this the message is delivered throughout the pack.
Xzavier and Jackson stand beside me and his mom in front of the pack.
‘What is going on? Mom wont tell .e why she called a meeting?’
‘it isn’t anything bad just to change a few things for this war’
He frowns at me but then kisses me on my cheek.
He frowns again as his mom nods at me and i step forward.
“I would just like to start of saying that our Luna and myself are very proud of how this pack has came together and  supported each other over the past few days... the war we are currently facing is not something we ever expected,  it is on a scale we haven’t faced in decades.  So we are going to need to prepare on scale that will cover more then just 2 packs.
We will be in need of volunteers for lot going forward. I need some of you to gather extra 8 man tents and camping cots blankets sleeping bags and adult clothes all sizes and set them up around the pack grounds,  we need a lot more dry store food aand baby supplies whatever you can get your hands on. Those of you who have children, i am hoping you still have clothes your child has outgrown, if so we could you them drop them at the pack house so we can sort through and have ready if needed.  All the outdoor grills we have i would like to be pulled out and cleaned for use, we have tripled the order for medical supplies then we originally put in i would also like those with any medical or first aid know how to help the pack doctors as much as you can during this war it will be essential in our survival.... now the part that will be hard, i would like those of you who are willing and have space to house any wolves if necessary.  I know having strange wolves on our lands and in your home will be hard and cause our wolves to feel on guard. I am praying it wont come to that but if it does i would love for you all to show what kind loving people we are.  These people will only be here because they have lost their homes and possibly loved ones. I hope you can show them empathy and hospitality because in this war, it is not us or them, it is not grudges we have against other packs who have hurt us in the past. Its all of us against the same enemy. We will not be different packs in this war. We will be one pack, one life, one soul, one family and we need to protect what is ours. We need to protect our family”
The wolves present howl and clap i hear howls in my head also the pack the whole pack was linked in and silent as i spoke.  I just thought it was those here.
X pulls me to him and has a huge smile on his face.
“If you want to put your name forward for any job discussed please come see me and i will get everything sorted out. Thank you" the luna finishes.  We all clear out and X pulls me to his room, Jackson following behind us. He rushes me and spins me around. As soon as the door closes behind him
“That ending to your speech was epic. I am so proud to call you my Luna and friend. You bloody genius” be places me back to my feet and Xzavier pulls me to him in a possessive manner.
“That’s what you and mum where working on for 2 hours.”
“Yeah.”
“ so proud baby.” He beams and kisses me.
“I some things i need to do with dad, why don’t you and Jackson go help with training?”
“yeah that sounds good actually i could use some help.. the..ugh.. women are a little”
“ha drooling over you?”
“Yeah”
I Shake my head knowing that had it not been for Courtney he would have been loving the attention.

Out on the training feild i watched as the men spared with each other both in human and wolf form.. they were doing great even the ones who had just gained their wolf.
But the women they where barely putting any force behind their hits and kept staring at the topless men.  I noticed court was sparing with one of the wolves in our year and both where doing a good job.  I watched the women for a few more minutes before i had enough.
I ran to one of them, effectively grabbing her and pinning her down by her throat. The other women stopped on a gasp. 
“If i was wolf attacking this pack you would be dead. Wouldn’t even last a second, and that is without using any of my extra ability” i said not taking my eyes of the women i had pinned.
I stood and held out my hand. She hesitantly took it and pulled her to her feet.
“IF YOU THINK OGULING SHIRTLESS WOLVES INSTEAD OF TRAINING TO NOT ONLY PROTECT YOURSELF, BUT THIS PACK, YOUR FAMILY OR YOUR FUTURE CHILD THEN YOU ARE ALL THE DUMBEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET.”  The men had stopped their training now watching on.
“DO YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN JUST STRUGGLE TO FIGHT OFF A WOLF UNTIL A MALE COMES AND SAVES YOU?”
No answer.
-they need a rude awaking attack one. Now-
Cade came running at my link and attacked two she wolves taking them both down and declaring them dead. They didn’t even have a chance to fight back. He held his hand out and pulled them to their feet.
“These men may be able to save you. But if we are over run by wolves attacked from all sides they could be busy fighting 3 or 4 off while you get killed by 1 and the child you were running away with gone too.  You cannot expect someone else to save you. New rules you all spar with the men, you have a few days to be able to at least get them down if you fail you go against me and i will be sure to beat you black and bloody until you beg for mercy. I may be the future luna of this pack as that luna i will care for you and protect you but not unless you know how to protect your self. This pack can not become weak and complacent that is how we get decimated.  Now begin. And gentlemen don’t take it easy on them.”
I watched for 10 minutes the women barely putting up a fight.
‘do they still not understand?’ Dusk said i could feel her frustration matching mine.
‘stupid women, i know the men are not hitting as hard as they could but still they wont even try'
‘Time to teach them im a women of my word’
I Walked over and stood on the side lines again watching to see if they up their game.
They dont.
“Hit him harder put your body into the punch” i yell.
A couple of them do as i say but still it is weak.
“Enough! What the hell is this? These men are hitting you, granted i know they are holding back but i heard your little whimpers... you all want your mates right?.. what if your mate is a warrior, Beta or and Alpha? Do you think they want a weak snippering she wolf as their mate?”  it was a low blow but it had to be done.
“What if your mate is cruel and beats you... beats your children to the brink of death.. you just going to sit and let him?”  i hear the little gasps.  “What if he is the gentlest man to you and you  love him with everything in you.. but you cant fight and the love of your life and your children are surrounded by killers and you cant do a thing to protect him or your child?”
“it could happen, you know I’m right. So quit god damn playing and fight or you wont have a few days ill beat you all now"
I know threating to beat them isn’t what a Luna should do and i cuddle and coddle them later but this is war this could mean the death of us all. The hybrid wasn’t playing nice so neither am i.

I take a seat on the field and pen and paper in my hand as i watch.
-why are the women sparing with the men?- Alpha Max links.
-because they would rather stand and drool over them then train... they need to know how to defend against a male wolf they cant do that facing each other.-
-they are beginners the men are not they are not evenly matched-
-and you think they will be when we get attacked? I dont mean to be rude Alpha but this is war and they are not playing nice so neither should we-
-your right, i understand they need the push.  Now more then ever.-
-i don’t think I’m cut out to be Luna, before i was kind and caring as a Luna should be but now.. i told the women to fight back and if they didn’t i would beat them black and blue...  what sort of Luna does that make me-
-you are made to be Luna, your are still kind and caring and smart, you just have to be fierce and protective and sometimes cruel as well, every Luna is different, do you think my lovely Luna hasn’t had to be cruel? She has many times. Sometimes the pack needs a push and i have no doubt this pack will thrive with you and my son. We have already started the suggestions you have made and the projections are great. You will be an amazing luna Mia-
I scribbled a thank you on the paper them burnt while thinking of the Alpha.
-how did you do that?-
-you got my note? So it worked?-
-yeah thank you alpha it says-
-ha, i just had a feeling that it would, I’m going to call it fire message-
“a few days.. you all have a lot of work to do”
I stood up and walked away from training..
