The White Wolf of the Crescent Moon Colony

Chapter 8- Landing in Arizona

The flight was only about an hour. When they landed there were 3 Chevy Tahoes waiting for them. A man stepped out of the first one. As they exited the plane, the Phoenix sun beat down of them.

"Hello friends!" The man called out. He was tall. Definitely over 6 feet tall from what Aspen could tell. He had blonde long hair that he wore in a ponytail. He gave off total surfer vibes. He was clean shaven and was oozing with charisma. The man flashed his movie star smile. He shook everyone's hands like he was the mayor and stopped and Esmeralda "Esme! How are you?" He gave her a big hug and Esmeralda let out a chuckle. The 34 year old was kissed by the sun and appeared like he only went surfing and went to the gym in his spare time. He was practically bursting out of her white dress shirt that he had slightly unbuttoned.

"I'm Wonderful Alpha Matthews. Look how grown up you look! This is my Goddaughter Marlowe." She pointed to Marlowe "And these two lovely twins are my other godchildren Aspen and Jasper." She pointed to the twins.

Aspen and Alpha Matthews locked eyes. Both of them could feel a familiarity. Matthews, clearly knowing who she was, but not giving any information said "Ah, yes. Aspen! We've heard so much about you! And Alpha Matthews is my father, call me Jace. I am the alpha of southern California." He said smiling at a wide eyed Aspen. She was so curious about him she couldn't help but notice he said 'we", who is "we?" she thought to herself. 

"I'm sorry." She finally said, "I just feel like we've met before. Are you in the film industry?" She said as she slowly took off her sunglasses to inspect the guy some more.

Alpha Matthews laughed "I think it's a twin thing. I'm also a twin. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it. Here let me help you get in the car." He said as he guided her into the second Tahoe. "And to answer you question, I am not in the film industry, but we do have a few people in my territory that are."

Jasper mindlinked the girls "Of Course he is the alpha of SoCal, the man screams movie star."

Marlowe mindlinks back, "I'm guessing since either one of us reacted to him, the alphas of NorCal, Arizona, Oregon, and Alpha Crane are our mates."

"Girls are riding together. We need to talk." Leena called from behind them. Jasper and the Southern California Alpha loaded their bags in the truck as the girls pile in the back.

The twins at the same time said "you know we can just mind link while we're talking right?" Alpha Matthews and Marlowe laughed.

"Fine." Leena said in mild annoyance.

"Alpha Matthews, why don't you ride with Alpha Taylor and Beta Mark." Esmeralda suggested.

Taking the hint, Alpha Matthews helped put the last of the suitcases into the trucks. Mark, Saul, and Alpha Matthews got into the first car. All the girls and Jasper in the second and the extra warriors, the driver from the second car, all in the third car. Esmeralda insisted she be the one to drive since they all have things to discuss. Alpha Matthews found this hilarious. Leave it to Esmeralda to take charge.

"So I'll start." Esmeralda said. "10 years ago I had a vision." Esmeralda started "I can't give you all the details, but I knew you girls would be leaving home."

"Leaving Home!" Aspen screamed.

Leena looked back from the passenger seat "yes, leaving home. We knew there was a chance that your mate would be in a different pack, Marlowe. And I guess for Aspen, act like a wolf, and wolf stuff happens." Trying to soothe her children's worries.

"We'll be together. We'll talk everyday. But you two's destinies are not in New Mexico." Esmeralda tried to break the news gently.

"Fuck." Marlowe spat out.
