Finally

The Search Begins

Larry's POV:

It has been four days since Laurent had left to not only thank the Alpha's that agreed to help, but also search for not just the dark witch but my previous pack territory.

After I told Laurent he could tell the Alpha's the name of my pack (which for some reason non of the Royals thought to ask me, and me being me, I never willingly told them) some of the Alpha's were asking to meet me.

Laurent agreed, but only after this war was over. Apparently some of the Alpha's remember my pack name and even where it was rumored to be located. One of the Alpha's told Laurent that he heard of my pack when he was a boy, but it was destroyed.

Tears stung behind my eyes as Laurent and I spoke about his conversation with the Alpha. Yea I already knew my pack was destroyed, but it still hurts hearing it from others. Laurent said that the Alpha told him my pack was in another country. (Which I had a feeling it was)

Laurent told me they are heading towards Canada, which is where the Alpha said his father told him that's where the SnowHeart pack was located. I am happy that maybe just maybe they can locate my previous pack territory and find the witch and the man that is after Phoenix, before they make their way here to BlackStone pack.

I told Jackson about what Laurent had found out about the possibility of my previous packs location. I also told Jackson the name of my pack and not only did he gasp, he growled afterwards causing me to giggle.

Jackson's growl sounded like Phoenix (my youngest pup's name) when Phoenix growled which was Phoenix's favorite thing to do. It didn't matter who he was near he loved to growl. No one really took it to seriously, having a three month old pup growl at you was as threatening as a three month old human baby bitting you.

My giggling stopped Jackson from growling, which of course caused my giggling to get louder. I love him I really do but sometimes he just acts like a big kid instead of a century old vampire queen.

'Larry, what are you going to do if they find your pack territory and no one has staked claim on your land'? King Egon asked me. I shrugged not knowing how to answer that question.

It's a question I have been asked a lot lately, yet I had no answer to. Me being the only living SnowHeart Heir, the land is rightfully mine.

But how would I claim it?

Do I leave Laurent?

Do I ask Laurent to come with me and leave his territory?

Do I appoint someone I trusted to watch over the territory until one of my six pup's want to become the Alpha of that territory?

It didn't matter what question ran through my mind, or what question I was asked I truly had no answer to the questions.

I sighed shrugging my shoulders, pushing the unanswered questions to the back of my mind. Right now was not the time to try and answer them, while my mate was out there searching for the dark witch that wants to end my life, because of an accident that happened centuries ago.

My heart hung heavily in my chest as thoughts of the up coming war and the possible lives, both human and supernatural we would lose. One is one too many.

'Larry are you okay'. Jackson asked. I nodded my head yes and looked him in the eyes. The concern I seen caused my heart to restrict in my chest.

'No'. I whispered softly. Truth be told I wasn't okay and I wasn't sure when I would be. The very reason I ran all my life was because I didn't want to cause any more pain or suffering to anyone that would get to close to me.

That's why I never settled down, the fear of losing someone close to me scared me.

That was until I met Laurent. I tried to ignore the mate pull between us, and the instant desire to be claimed by him. I tried to run as soon as I discovered he was my mate, but my wolf refused to run anymore. His reasoning was, ''our mate is meant to protect and love us''. I agreed with him of course but the fear was still there, that was until Laurent showed me his unconditional love.

I smiled thinking of our first time together and how careful and passionate Laurent was with me. I never felt tenderness like that before, not even from my own parents.

'Larry, you ready for dinner'? Jackson asked. I nodded picking up Phoenix and holding Lia's hand as both Egon and Jackson held onto my other pup's.

Since Laurent had left, Jackson and Egon haven't left my side for a second. I know Laurent asked them to keep an eye on me, and keep me safe. And believe I am beyond thankful. I know the reason why Jackson insisted on moving into the Alpha wasn't because he could be close to my pup's like he said (even though I know that's partly why) it's because he's afraid that I will become depressed like I did when Laurent was in a coma, possibly feel the need to leave. At first I was depressed right after Laurent left, but that quickly subsided because of my six happy pup's and because of my best friends King Egon and Queen Jackson.

We three walked carrying my pup's into the large banquet hall where dinner is being served tonight. Normally I eat in the small kitchenette in Laurent and I's room, but for the past few days Alpha's and Beta's from the surrounding packs have been visiting, well actually staying.

No one knows that I am the Luna yet (mainly because I forbid any of the pack including Laurent's family from telling anyone who I am) and thank the Moon Goddess I have the ability to mask myself so they just think I am a mere human.

Jackson is not exactly happy that I refused to let anyone know I am the Luna, but after I explained to him why, he kinda understood and so he reluctantly agreed to not say anything yet.

Some of the Alpha's have asked the whereabouts of the Luna, and thankfully the packs answer is always the same, our Luna is going through a rough time without our Alpha here, but is doing fine and will meet you soon.

I do admire my pack. The do not mention that I am male, even though we are sure some of the Alpha's already know, but they always give the same answer.
