Immortal Desires

Chapter 2: Secrets, Secrets Are No Fun. Secrets, Secrets Hurt Someone.

"She's waking up! Get Jason! Carrie is up!" I heard a voice shout , the sudden loudness hurt my head more than it already did, my heart was pounding so hard that it affected my whole body. When I opened my eyes the lights were harsh, but a figure looked over me blocking the light.

I saw an ecstatic woman smiling at me, "Oh dear, you're awake, how wonderful. How are you feeling?" She asked, the woman had long black hair and was very tan, her face looked younger, but her voice sounded like she was in her 30s or 40s.

"My head hurts..." I said resting my fingers on my temple. My head pounded as if I ran a marathon.

"Yes, your brother said you had a run in with the pack of alphas... They have been quite a problem since we moved here," the woman said without any worries. And in that moment I knew this wasn't a dream, this is it... We made it into the packs territory.

I took a breath before I replied "Alpha? What is that?" I was cut off.

"We know your brother is a werewolf, I am the former Luna of this pack, my son is letting you and your brother stay with us," She said happily. "Now can you tell me what your name is?" She asked, she grabbed a flashlight out of her doctors coat and checked my pupils or whatever people look for when they shine the small light in their patients eyes.

"I'm Carrie Apollo Swanson.  Where is my brother? How long was I out? Where am I?" I asked.

"Your like a question machine," she giggled, it was strange to see her giggle. Her face had few wrinkles, but she had laugh lines and her eyebrows always made her look interested in whatever happened. I looked at her waiting for a response, she cleared her throat and continued with a serious face.  "You have been out for a week, your brother is coming right now, he has been so worried about you. The whole pack and my son has been worried about... Ops, I'm sorry, I've said too much," She said. Her son? The pack? One whole week? Brandon..... I need to talk to Brandon.

        Just then Brandon stormed through the door and looked at me "Oh thank Luna! Carrie are you alright?" Brandon came in waving his arms. He hugged me tightly. Luna? Why on earth did he say luna... Oh yeah, Luna is the Moon goddess, she is the god in the wolf's eyes. Immortal beings have their own religions. The legion says that the Sun god created humans and Luna hadn't been happy so she created Werewolves, and so the Sun god greater Vampires. For centuries the two have been at war, trying to creat the superior species.

" I will leave, let me know if you need anything," The woman said and left the room.

"Brand- Jason I was out for a week? And Luna really? And who is her son?" I grabbed his hand and squeezed it.

"You're just lucky I got him to wait for you to talk to him, he saw you and thought you were Spencer," He whispered.

"What?" I asked panicked, who would know me, I've never associated with this pack, how would the Alpha know what I looked like?

"Noah is the Alpha," He whispered. I looked at him and I saw he was scared it showed in his eyes.

"What? How could that be? When I saw him he never said anything about being an alpha, I never even got that vibe from him!" I was trying to rationalize everything, what if we failed. Noah will have us killed. I've failed my mission, I just woke up and now I'm dead.

"I don't know, but he thinks your Spencer's twin. He thinks we're half siblings, you're still Carrie. You don't know about your twin because you were separated our mom took you and your dad took Spencer, everything is still in-tacked," Brandon squeezed my hand. That bloody genius! Maybe it isn't so bad that he accompanied me on this mission. "They want you at dinner tonight, so you need to get ready, the brown is showing," he smiled, I nodded. Brandon handed my a water bottle with the pill that help me to keep my human scent and the syrup that gives me my blonde hair. I took both and got out of bed.
