Hybrid's Hollow

40 - Midnight Moon

You kissed my lips
With those once cold fingertips
You reached out for me
And oh how you missed
You touched my face
And all life was erased
You smiled like an angel
(Falling from grace)

We've been slaves to this love
From the moment we touched
And keep begging for more
Of this resurrection. - Resurrection - HIM

Davyna's POV

"How far are your packlands, Caleb?" I ask as I look out the window of the passenger side of the car. "Midnight Moon is about 2 hours in the opposite direction of the compound, so we've still got a bit of a drive ahead of us."

"Well, I'll tell you exactly what I told Vincent when we were heading to Avern. I don't mind helping with the drive if you need a break."

"I'll keep it in mind, baby." He says, eyes focused on the road.

"Is it different at the packlands?" I ask, trying to get some more information before we get there. "It's very different from Avern. Werewolf life and culture is drastically different then vampire life."

"Vincent told me that I shouldn't worry too much about the fact that my vampire side awakened already, was he right?"

"He was. You'll be accepted regardless since you are my mate and future Luna of the pack. There's no doubt there, but it's hard to say how your hybridism will be accepted. We will deal with that when it comes though, okay? So don't worry. I'll always be on your side to support you." I turn to look at him and smile. "Both you and Vincent are way too good and easing my worries lately."

I see him smirk. "And I hear you're getting pretty good at sneaking into your mate's shower." I smack his leg. "Vincent told you?!" He laughs. "Of course he did. I mean I've gotta prepare myself for any stunts you might pull with me."

I scoff. "Sure. Maybe I won't with you now that you're expecting it." Caleb quickly looks towards me, feigning a sad face. "Oh how will I live?" I smack him on the leg again. "Oh stop." I chuckle.

"I think you might have to be prepared for me. We're at my home. I know the place like the back of my hand, so I'd watch your back." He winks at me and then turns his attention back to the road.

I guess this week will definitely be an interesting one.

It feels like ages, but finally we're close. "Only about 15 or so minutes until we reach Midnight Moon." Caleb says as I stretch in my seat. I had a decent sleep while we drove, and of course just like Vincent, Caleb did not ask me to help with the long drive. Men.

Putting that aside, I feel excitement bubbling up as I look out the window; the sun shining brightly, illuminating the beautiful trees and greenery around us. We then turn onto another road and go deeper into the forest. My eyes widen as we come into a clearing and I see houses upon houses lined up. It's almost like a small subdivision, but surrounded my forest. There are werewolves walking all around. Some in wolf form, some in human form.

"Those are residences for the families who live here in the pack. Each family has their own house." Caleb explains as we pass them. We pass another large building as we continue down the road. "That is the training center for our warriors here who defend the packlands, and the current Beta's house - the wolf who is second in command - is just on the other side of that."

We keep driving and come up to a larger house near the back of the tree line, that has a large lake beside it. "This is the packhouse. Meetings and important gatherings are held here. Banquets, feasts, weddings within the pack, etc." It's a more modernized building then the residences with it's large open windows that line the front and rectangular shaped exterior. There are multiple balconies at the varying stories of the house, with large pillar supports beneath them. It blends in beautifully with the surrounding forest due to the varied tones of brown wood paneling used over the entire structure.
