Chapter 6: New Identity
Maleiata's POV
Its been 3 days since mum's burial.
After my last confrontation with Alpha Leon he never spoke a word to any of my siblings or I. He's only allowed us to stay until the funeral was over and declared that our Official duties as Lycan Warriors were relieved.
Mum's twin brother Mason and Older sister Maisey came all the way from Crescent Island to be here for the funeral. They insisted that mum be buried within our Family Tomb, but Leon didnt want any of it.
The atmosphere here was poignant and dark. All of my siblings except for Mina, baby Micah and Marcus (who was still recovering from his Injuries), had already left and moved back to Crescent Island straight after the funeral. Mina and I are going to move in with Uncle Mason.
Boy its hard knowing when your not wanted, but I don't do self pity. I'm just gonna do what I always do: suck it up, stand my ground and complete the mission my mum never got to finish: Find and Protect Will.
But above all else, I'm just glad that my baby Brother Micah still wanted me around. Since mum's been gone, he always found his way to crawl up and sleep in my bed, and stuck by me where ever I went. Out of all 13 siblings, he was my favourite and most loyal brother and the only boy who has melted my heart.
I hate that Mum's going to miss out on watching her youngest pup grow up. Everyone else however have all attempted to spend time with him but he only ended up becoming restless and would cry for either mum or myself.
So together we'd spend the afternoons staying with Marcus in the medical room.
"So I hear uncle Mason and aunty Maisy wants to take us all back home"- Marcus was now able to sit upright on his own and reached out to hold a happy Micah who always sat on my lap.
"It would be nice to go back and live normally"- I shrugged. I have dreaming of returning back to mum's family home on Crescent Island.
"Its been what ... 2 years since the invasion?"- Marcus said absent mindedly while he was playing with Micah. my eyes immediately looked down. I never liked talking about the Village invasion that took my daddy's life.
When he finally looked up he realised what he had said.
"Nggawww sis, I didnt mean to bring that up"- he frowned
"I'm ok. Im gonna have to confront it sooner or later since we're moving back"- I kept my eyes on Micah then looked up to Marley who still had concerned look
"Im ok, seriously"- I assured him
"But how are you? The others havnt spoken to you yet?"
"Ohh well, shit happens. This isn't the first time we've fought I am going to make this right."- I was serious
"Be careful. You do know thats an automatic Death sentence if found guilty of killing a member of the royal pack. What about Micah? What about us, we cant lose another family member"- Marcus was trying to keep himself from getting worked up
Taking it all in I let out a huge sigh.
"Well lets just hope that Nicolas and I won't ever cross paths"- I replied with a hint of venegence in my voice.
At that moment Lorenzo and Uncle Mason walked in taking a seat on the other side of Marcus.
"Hey Kid, how are you doing?"- Uncle Mason smiled at Marcus.
"Well everyday I feel better then the day before, so it shouldn't be long till i get to move down with these guys"- my brother said confidently whilst still playing with Micah on his lap. I smiled at the two.
"Lei? sweety? have you packed?"- uncle asked
"uhhh sure..sorry its taken me a little while I just didnt want to leave Marcus until we know he can manage on his own"- I was greatful for Uncle being here. He smiled back.
I adore my uncle Mason, its been awhile since ive seen him but I always remembered how similar he and mum were.
I looked back to Marcus who just smiled in appreciation. As he nodded to signal me he was fine I began to get up on my feet when Lorenzo cleared his throat.
"I need to give you something before you leave"- Lorenzo softly spoke.. ....
He pauses and looks to Mason before he looks back at me and hands me a gold silver ring with a crescent moon engrave on the inside.
After examining it I look upto him confussed.
"Now that the Royal pack has been seperated that leaves you and your siblings vulnerable. You have a lot of enermies, the Hunters being a major threat. But when you go back, keep this ring on your finger. I've put a spell on it to mask your scent, you'll appear as a human. No one on the island can know who you are"- Lorenzo informed
"Its the only way to keep you and your siblings safe"- Uncle joined
"What would happen to my wolf?"- I scoped
"When you where that ring on nothing changes except your scent. Your free to shift but its only to let other wolves think your human"- Lorenzo informed me
"Maleiata, Mina and little Micah will stay with me. Although you should know, things have changed back at home. Theres a new pack nearby but they have no jurisdiction over my land so you have somewhere to run"- Mason
"Do they know your a wolf?"- I asked.
"No"- He smiles lifting up his hand with the exact same ring as mine. ....
... "but they do come around to ask permission to cross our lands to get to the Cliff"- He finished.
Mason' land and property sits right at the cliff. I remember the Cliff very well, when I was 6 my brothers dared me to dive from the top and into the ocean. And Of course I did. I loved the adreneline even when I was a young pup.
"The others already have theirs"- Lorenzo informed
"Where are they now?"- I looked up to Mason
"They bought their own property just 2 streets away from me"- Mason answered.
My wolf felt uneasy knowing that our siblings were still avoiding me.
It didnt sound so bad. I looked at the ring again and placed it on my middle finger on my left hand. As soon as it was on my finger i noticed the crescent moon mark on my left wrist had faded away.
"Keeping your identity is the upmost importance"- Mason
