Only the moon knows

Visons and gifts

I think I was asleep for maybe 10 minutes before waking again to only toss and turn fighting a losing battle. Finally giving up hope on getting any sleeping I sighed deeply before getting out of bed. Do you feel different Alexa? Do you feel the power? I think I do I spoke to her softly as I looked at my peaceful sleeping mate before throwing on some a pair of sweats and a long sleeve shirt before making my way back down to the beach. I knew we were destined for greatness and now a lot of things make more sense Dani we are powerful together Alexa purred back in content of her birthright status. I took my time walking there focusing on my breathing fighting back tears that so desperately wanted to fall again. We need to go meet him Alexa...as soon as possible I could feel her agree we had to meet our brother. Sitting down on the driftwood again I stared out at the ocean taking in the beauty of the moon light and the sound of the waves crashing trying to gain a bit of peace. It was then that I felt a presence a warmth behind me and a certain calmness swept through me instantly making me feel light again. It was then that a beautiful woman who did not look older than 20 sat down next to me. She was wearing a white and silver gown that cascaded down to the ground pooling around her feet. Her skin was porcelain colored without any blemishes besides that intricate patterns that went up her arms to her shoulders that on closer inspection seemed to be multiple small moons in a array of colors and stages of cycle. Her long straight black hair fell loosely down her back styled to be pulled away from her face and her eyes piercing violet colored eyes that were so striking that they took my breath away. "Good evening Daniella" she spoke with an airy melodic tone to her voice which was so calming to my ears that I could not speak. "Be not afraid child for I have come to discuss with you things that have been hidden". At these words I finally gained the courage that to ask her "Are you....are you her? Are you the moon goddess?". This made her smile bowing her head slightly causing my jaw to drop taking in that our creator was sitting next to me. "Why goddess...why did they do this to me? I trusted them...."as I spoke the tears I have been fighting back started to fall from my eyes. "Be at peace with this child for they were weak, but they kept you safe. Now you must return to your rightful place because terrible trails are about to happen. You must use your gifts that I have given you in order to bring the packs together to restore the balance. Know that your brother never believed that you were lost...he will be rejoiced at your arrival home." "But goddess...my home is with Anthony...how can I bring the packs together I'm only me...?" "Yes that right Daniella Warrior Luna you are only you." winking at me she got up and began to walk away from me down the beach towards the moon light and then vanished from my sight. I tried to compose myself from what I had just experienced, but at the same time it felt so impossible. I sat on the beach for hours after she left me taking in everything trying to plan out what my next move was only to know that I needed to go home then plan to meet my brother for the first time. I watched the sun rise and as I saw the colors changing in the sky I heard panicked footsteps coming towards the beach.

I didn't even have to turn around to know Anthony was running towards me with Cole in tow. "DANIELLA!! Oh my god bella you had me so worried! I woke up and you were gone!" Anthony spoke with strain in his voice engulfing me in a hug nuzzling into my neck breathing in deep calming his wolf. "You had us worried sick D...don't do something like that ever again. What the hell were you doing out here?!? Have you been here all night?" Cole panted out dropping down in the sand next to us. I laughed at these two huge men in front of me who were acting like lost pups. "I'm fine boys and yes I have been here all night I couldn't sleep, but the moon goddess herself gave me some insight...and now love...I'd like to go home we need to plan. On the way though we need to stop and discuss some things with Josh. Don't worry Cole I'll keep you in the loop I just need to distance myself from them right now.." We all brushed the sand off our bodies before getting up and walking towards Cole's house once more walking into Jess cooking breakfast and my pack members sitting at his island patiently. "Oh D let me get you something that your mother gave to yesterday." Cole reappeared a moment later with a long gold chain necklace with a decent sized charm on it handing it to me he spoke once more. "They said this was yours since you were an infant...it will prove to your brother that you are his sister and the rightful princess." I took the delicate chain in my hands looking at the charm with was the royal crest on one side with Daniella Grace written on the back of it in neat script. I couldn't help myself from the tears that started to roll down my check staring at this beautiful yet so meaningful peace of jewelry. I felt Alexa swell with pride "Thank you Cole...this is actually perfect. I will tell you when we have a plan. I'm going to need your support" Cole nodded in response then as I turned to Anthony I spoke softly "I'd like to go home now if we could." "Of course love we can leave right away." he spoke quietly offering his hand for me to get up as I slipped the chain around my neck.

The ride was quiet, but I actually felt content in the silence and the feeling on Anthony's hand gently rubbing my thigh. I turned and looked at my mate taking in his features as his gaze turned from the road to me. "See something you like mia amore?" he said with a smirk on his lips. "Si amore mio faccio..(yes love I do)" "buona che bella hanno praticato (good beautiful you've been practicing)" he spoke with a grin forming on his lips. "Tone...?"I spoke softly looking at him now for reassurance "Yes love?" "Why do you think he never came for me...my brother that is? The moon goddess said he didn't believe I was lost why wouldn't he come for me?" I couldn't help the tear that fell as I spoke those words out loud. In fact I had been thinking about it the whole ride thus far. "Bella...I'm sure he has tried to find you, but you have been well hidden. Think about it if you had never come to find me you would have never known." His words sunk in and gave me comfort. Maybe my older brother had been searching for me in his own way, but I'm sure he had other things that took president being the king of all the weres in North America after all has to be a tough job. I was lost in my thoughts now when I heard Anthony on the phone talking to what must be Josh when I tuned into his end of the conversation I could see he was getting annoyed."....yes she's right here with me. I don't see how that is necessary. Fine..." he growled out handing me the phone. I took to phone gently before putting it up to my ear I leaned over "Ti amo bello (I love you handsome)" I spoke softly leaving a gently kiss on his check at the same time. I saw him shiver and visibly calm then a smile "Ti amo troppo bella..." he grabbed my hand bringing it up to his lips kissing my knuckles as I brought the phone to my ear "Hello...?". "Daniella!" two different male voices screamed into the phone at once causing me to wince and pull the phone away then bringing it back I heard a soft chuckle next to me. "One at a time boys please...what's up? I'm literally going to be there within 20 minutes to discuss things did you really have to harass my mate?" I said with a tone of humor in my voice. "We just wanted to make sure he actually was bringing you. No offense we don't actually want to see him" that was definitely Everett. He earned a growl from the seat next to me with that comment, but gently squeezed my hand and calmed right away. "Oh ha ha ha Everett very funny. Josh we have a lot to discuss when I get there I hope I'm not interrupting?" "No Dani you could never interrupt you are always welcome. See you very soon!"

As we sat in Josh's office him and Everett both trying to take in what I had just told them shocked expressions on their faces. "I never knew there was a princess..." Josh spoke carefully obviously trying to process still what I had finished telling him. "Yeah neither did I" I responded with a giggle granted this really wasn't funny, but I had to make light of it. "So what do you need from me Dani?" Josh said looking right into my eyes "I just need to know that you have my back honestly...we are going to go to the palace as soon as I can and I'd like to bring some alphas that I know I can trust." "I'm glad I made the short list then. I'll always have your back Dani." he said with a wide grin forming on his face. "Oh and Everett?" I said "Yes Luna?" he responded causing me to glare at him making him chuckle he knew I hate being called by titles "You're just as bad as Blake" I icely responded hearing a snort behind me causing me to whip my gaze around landing on Blake who was obviously holding in his laughter "...Sorry Luna..." he forced out. My gaze turned back to Everett giving him a sickeningly sweet smile "The devil has some new work outs for you". This caused Josh to erupt with laughter and Everett's face drained of color as he swallowed hard "..urm...thanks dani" he finally said taking the papers from me causing a real grin to break out on my face.

The ride home was quick after we left the Golden Pack telling them we would be in contact in a couple days with the plan. I walked through the pack house into our bedroom Anthony trailing behind me with our bags. I stepped out onto the balcony breathing in the smells of the ocean and the sounds of the night closing in on us feeling at peace once more. I felt Anthony's arms snake around me pulling me into his chest us both breathing each others scents in. Welcome home principessa rang though my thoughts as we both looked up at the stars.
