His Moon Kissed Luna

[5]Meeting Her Mate

He says my name the way a wolf howls at the moon.

With a raw understanding ,

a deep respect

for what it means when I turn my head.

You would think they would at least feel a little guilty for hiding things from me and maybe even promise to not do it again. But nothing of that sort happened.

Uncle Robert came in the morning and had a heated argument with dad , he blamed it on dad's irresponsibility and dad blamed it back on his lousy pack security. All in all they came to the conclusion that Anna should never be left alone.

"Anna, dad wants to talk to you," Zach informed me as I was busy gazing out the window at the huge number of pack warriors guarding our house.

"I'll be there in a minute," I said, glancing sideways at Nina who was still sleeping peacefully. Chase and Zach had woken up a while back and went out to monitor the security at the pack borders.

I heard dad tell Uncle Robert that Alpha Theon had taken the counsel's permission to visit our pack and that was quite queer because Theon doesn't give a rat's ass about the counsel. So we really do not know what to expect in this visit.

I knocked once on my dad's door and went in without waiting for a reply. My dad was busy looking at some papers spread on the table with a deep frown.

"come sit" he said without taking his eyes off the papers in front of him.

I sighed softly and sat down. "Is this about what happened yesterday?" i asked fidgeting with my fingers.

"My dad finally looked up from the papers. "I'm not mad at you," he said smiling softly. "I understand why you did what you did"

Ï smiled back happily. "how are you feeling?" he asked leaning his elbows on the table.

"A little overwhelmed at the moment, but I am fine," I assured him. "That reminds me." he opened his drawer and took out a velvet bag.

"Put this on for the time being, at least till we figure out stuff about your wolf," he said handing me the bag. A thin shiny bracelet sat in the bag, looking quite attractive to the naked eye.

I took it out carefully and put it onto my left hand. "wait" I said turning it around delicately. "this is silver. Isn't silver supposed to burn our skin?" I asked bewildered. "Anna. It's enchanted" he said slowly observing my reaction. I blinked momentarily , this was enchanted? Where on earth did my dad get an enchanted bracelet from? Only a high ranked witch could cast incantations on a metal like silver. I turned the bracelet slowly using my fingers as if waiting for the magic to show itself in front of me.

"What's it for?" I asked softly. "you wont lose your control of your wolf or shift into your wolf. You know its best that you have this, I'm suspecting that a moon kissed wolf was never really mentioned in history and this could pose as a threat to you. Until we could get enough information about your wolf and your abilities its best that you don't remove it" he finished.

"But I didn't even go for my first run yet" I protested. This was such a bummer, all my life I yearned for a wolf and I finally become one only to keep it a secret.

"You are right. I'll ask Zach and chase to accompany you" he said.

"That's not needed. They are going to lecture me about yesterday" I mumbled.

"Well, you did bring that one on yourself" he replied, his eyes twinkling.

"Hey! It was your fault, you shouldn't have kept secrets from me. At least promise me not to do it in the future" I said narrowing my eyes at him.
