It been a couple of months since the councilmen decision, I have been complete shunned by the pack cause according to beta Brad, I am responsible for my parents death he was the only one to witness the accident and every one declares him the hero he even has a scare to prove it, he was brave. After the council men's departure lily, brads mate informed me that they would be moving in to the alpha house, so I had to move into the pack orphanage but Joyce said I could come live with her so she has been coming over cooking and assisting me to pack .I was done packing and I told Joyce that I would met her in her house which was located at the far end of the pack, I just needed to visit our spot. it was a cave well-hidden be hide the water fall, above the cliff most people never venture that far but dad discovered a hidden passage up the cliff when he was younger and showed it to mom when they met I was supposedly conceived there it was like a secret place for our family not even Joyce knew about it mum hide some blanket and touch up in the cave, so i used the touch to navigated my way through the cave.
As I sat down In the now cold and dark cave crying and missing my family ,when i noticed just how much time have pass, getting up ,in an attempt to make my way out of the cave, it became windy and droplet of rain began to fall.
Dry leaves flew about in the air, dust had begun to rises and everybody were tucked away in the safety of their home . The storm increased it paced and blew dust past my eyes, making me stagger in my steps." This was bad how do I find Joyce little cottage ,how do I even get to the out sketch of the pack I should have just stayed back in the cave",I thought.
After being bartered and beating by the rain I decide to take shelter in the nearby gazebo it was cover with dust and mud, meaning the pack members were never here, that how I realized I was getting close to Joyce house , after a couple minutes the rain was still pouring decided to take my chances with the rain when I notice a small light flashing about like a touch who could be crazy enough to be out here in this storm ,I wonder has I took careful yet gradual step to meet set person. Joyce what are you doing out here in the storm? "Are you really asking me that ''let just get back home first. Sticking to each other like glue, we slowly maneuvered a way out of the storm and into the warm cottage.
Get dried Joyce instructed while handing me a dried towel and a change of clothes I went in to the bathroom and got change. has I step in to the kitchen I saw Joyce making hot coco she passed me a cup as she turn the Burner off and we walked out of the kitchen , the storm was slowly reaching a calm.I sat down,while Joyce switched on the cable and let me watch a little. Hanna dear let go to bed we have a busy day tomorrow you know with unpacking and all.
Joyce had woken me up this morning, we had breakfast together and right after we started unpacking, after a while she went to the phonograph and changed the vinyl disc. A very catch tune began and she stated to dance, Joyce was a very good dancer she had a way to move her body in a very rhythmic manner. Dance with me Will you? But am a terrible dancer mom said I have two left feet, that cause you try to hard just relax feel the music and get your rhyme from there, we soon stop unpacking and started dancing shortly after the music came to an end and we sat down laughing. "Oh Hanna,how your smile reminds me so much of Mary.
so tomorrow I will be go and meet brad, keep your voice down you don't want anybody to here you. Oh relax no one ever comes here plus he still the beta you are alpha, or more accurately Luna when you find or pick you mate , "the pack hate me, thinking i killed them... what makes you think they will want me as Luna " . i cant imaging the pack all believed in the nonsense lies his spieling , don't worry, we are all we need to survive ;she said smiling.
Joyce burst through the door, slamming it loudly against its frame, she would have ripped it out of is hinges, if she added anymore force. I know you're mad, so just calm down and explain what happened. No am not angry , what gave you that idea? well for a start you almost broke the door plus your aura scream anything but clam. So have a sit while I get you a cold glass of water then you can tell me how your meeting with bard went.
If I slamming the door was any indicator, it went any way but good. So when I went to his office he kept me waiting for hours and when he finally answered me he rejected my proposal saying why he should want to allocate funds for the girl who killed her parent. Joyce had finished her sentence before realizing the gravity of what she said. Hanna am sorry I didn't mean that. "I know you didn't: but no body believes me, they were my parents for goodness sake I only went to the panic room because I heard the alarm". Hanna said crying, I know and am sorry Joyce said sincerely, after all who knows the truth more than her she saw it happen, but before she could help the damage was done she was powerless to help and perhaps that was why she took the little girl in, who would she tell who would believe her not even her pack members, more less the council would believe that their beloved beta, their alphas best friend would be responsible for such calamities it was now her cross to bear all alone. Hanna I can't promise you a perfect life of luxury but I will do my best to make sure we always have a meal and never starve. Placing a kiss on Hanna's head, She got up from the couch and went towards the player, and soon enough a very catchy tune from the 80s started playing and Joyce began dancing, stretching forth her hands she asked, dance with my dear, Joyce I know you are trying to make me feel better but am not really in the mode. let me tell you a secret she said smiling when I lost my mate john, the whole world seemed so out of my reach and I thought I could not control anything anymore, but then only thing I found control in was the music, I pick the song, I picked my rhythm and my flow you could say I gave up control to gain control, so come she said stretching forth her hands again dance with me. First take a very deep breath feel you lungs burn with the need. Feel it relax has you exhale, that right there is a reason to move forward and overcome. then you listen to the music , feel the beat, listen to the rhythm and let your body sway to it passion , let it over take your sorrow in exchange for control .the beat got louder and slowly overwhelm the two , Hanna with the consuming sorrow, and Joyce with are newly found burden .
