The Lunar Wolf

:Chapter 5:

"So what part of Russia are the Games taking place in? Mavvie asked.  

"Tyumen" I replied and opened my laptop after grabbing another handful of ketchup chips and shoving them in my mouth. I typed up the name on Google and a variety of pictures showed up, "Here this is what it looks like" I showed him.

He too took a handful of chips, "Huh looks cool, Mom said it's going to be cold in Russia so we're supposed to bring warmer clothes."

"I can't imagine it'll be that cold, It'll be September when we get there" I added.

"Well it's July now and from what it looks like Tyumen is pretty far away from other human civilization and up in the middle of nowhere, again it's Russia and it get's cold there, and were staying there throughout the Winter maybe even until Christmas time depending on how long it takes."

I huffed, "That would suck if we had to stay there all the way until Christmas time, Christmas is my favorite holiday because we get to celebrate it with all our family."

"Yea I love it when Uncle Season comes over, and Aunt Autumn's family, but mostly Uncle Season" Mavvie chuckled. My brother and my Uncle were indeed partners in crime, especially when it came to harassing Dad or Winter.

We continued looking at pictures and studying what Tyumen is like for about half an hour, we had finished the bag of chips at that time when I thought of something and asked my brother, "Hey Mav, what do you remember of Melody?" 

I saw a flash of hurt and pain in his eyes and he clenched his hand tightly, "No I don't. I was too young to remember anything about her, I don't even remember how Dad and Mom acted when she died."

Melody was our deceased sister.

I never knew how Melody died. It was a hard topic for everyone to talk about so I stopped asking. Winter and Melody were very close and when she died Winter changed. I wasn't sure what she was like back then but all I know is she was different than now.

I hope your decision doesn't end the same way it ended for Melody Dad.

That's what she had said to him and he couldn't respond.

I always assumed her death was the reason everyone was so protective of me, then again she wasn't a Lunar Wolf.

We still have pictures of her around the house. She looked actually like Aunt Autumn with light strawberry blonde hair and light green eyes. Mavvie never talked about her or if someone asked he responds with 'I don't remember.'

I do wish someone would tell us so we know, we were still in Mom's belly when she died, Hadden said quietly.

Mom was six months pregnant with me when Melody died, Uncle Season used to tell me that the Pack fell into a despair and depression when she died including my Mom, but when I was born, joyfulness and light returned, he always called me the Goddess's special wolf before and after we knew about my breed.

Mavvie closed my laptop and stood up to stretch, "Which Pack do you think will win the Games this year?" he asked.

I shrugged, "We can't really say until we see the wolves, last time it was The Cold Mountains in Russia though right?"

He nodded, "They always have the Games in the country of the winning Pack... that would suck Cuba or Hawaii made a pack if there are even werewolves there."

"... I'm going to go see Winter for a bit" I said.

Mavvie shook his head, "Then you're going alone, I ain't going anywhere near that Ice Queen after last month. Why the hell didn't you switch with me?!"

I laughed and got up, "Because Anju wouldn't let me!" I walked out of my room and down the hallway to Winter's. Like always she was on her bed writing, "Can I come in?" I asked.

She looked up from her work and nodded, "Sure." She put her book away in a basket under her nightstand.

For the first time, I decided to ask, "What are you writing?"

"Nothing."

Maybe it's her diary, Hadden pointed out.

Winter, a diary? No way... then again she is a girl.

Sometimes.

I gave him a metal high five, You're awesome.

She sat up on her bed, "If you're going to ask me to do something forget it. You've already said I've made up for calling you weak and stuff, and again I said I was sorry!"

"Easy sis it's nothing like that I promise I just want to sit and talk."

She raised her brow and nodded her head to sit on the bed next to her. When I did she responded, "Go on."

"How are we going to get to Russia?"

"Dad's getting us a private jet, then when we get to Russia they'll be a car waiting for us that The Alpha was arranged the rest of the way. Dad's also sending Fabian, Marcu, Paul, Tray and Sam with us as guards."

"Ooh I like Marcu," I said.

She smiled, "We know, he asked Dad to be a guard because he likes to be by your side. That and he's Dad's friend."

"I've never even been on a jet before, is it scary?" I asked.

She shook her head, "No not really, you'll probably fall asleep on the jet while we're flying. Bring some books or something though cause there will be days where we won't be doing anything."

I nodded and my attention turned to the basket where her notebook was, "Hey Winter, you know I'll always keep your secrets, no matter what they are."

"I know," she said.

"What is it that your writing, you're always writing and avoiding people to do it, basically like me and my reading."

She chuckled, "I'll tell you when I'm ready Harvey, I have to go see Kacia."

We stood up and as we exited the room and we in opposite directions, I stopped and asked, "Why are you always so mean to Mavvie, Winter?"

She stopped, then closed the door, leaving me with an unanswered question.

**********

~Yes a big reveal there were going to be five royal werewolves. Unfortunately one died. Melody's death is a mystery to Harvey, they way each sibling deals with her death depends on how much experience they had with her, and Harvey had none. Not much happens her besides that. And I'm on time with uploading! Hurray for me!

Bye~
