Abby’s POV freewёbnoνel.com
Ornata, Ellie and I are sitting in the tree-line by the private training grounds, which is only used by the ranked members of the pack and visiting packs, while Willow and Matt are trying to practice some of the magic skills I transferred to him when marking him. We laugh at his concentrated expression, and feel for him when things don’t succeed right away. He is getting the hang of things quickly despite him only being granted magic this morning.
I engage myself into the conversations with Ornata, Ellie and Greyson. They are asking Ellie many questions, and listen with raps attention as she answers everything, making her feel welcome and important. Greyson is very interested in her history as an assassin and listens without judging, complementing Ellie’s way of navigating such a dangerous world without losing her moral compass.
Suddenly Matt yells out, and Willow laughs.
"I believe you need some more motivation, Alpha." Willow says and sends me a look. I sigh, stand, and walk up to them.
"Maybe we should start with meditation. That is what I started with when I was a little girl." Willow makes a thinking face.
"Well, that is actually what I started with, as well." She says pondering. I laugh, and then get a genius thought.
"Why don’t we get all the warriors to do this as well? It is great to train your concentration and breathing. It will be an excellent skill in battle. If everyone has their minds sharpened, it will help them keep a level head, too." Matt thinks for about a minute, takes my hand and heads to where the afternoon classes will begin in a little while.
Ornata, Willow and Ellie follow us there, and sit with us, waiting for the warriors to show up. We make small talk, and I can hear how Ornata is making both girls feel welcome, and part of the family already. Willow fits right in, but she is still young and carefree, welcoming people into her heart, no questions asked. Ellie, on the other hand, clearly needed a bit more time, even though I could see both Ornata and Greyson have made a good impression.
I look at my sister, pondering on all my questions, but decide this whole ’you are now a royal, not only to every magic man and woman out there, but all werewolves as well’ thing took a presence.
"Ellie, I want to ask you some more questions about this Witch Queen thing and my magic. I am so confused. Why has no one else tried to find me? How can I rule over people I don’t know? I. I. I am not sure, I’m the one for this. What if I fail you all?" I say the last part in a soft whisper.
"Okay, first. You will make a great Queen, of that, I am sure! Second, Mallory created a shield around you, before she... Well, anyway, it has protected you until now. But now that you’ve met me and Willow, the shield will dissipate. People will come and meet you; they will feel drawn to you." Ellie takes my hand in hers, and looks me in the eye.
"You are everything and more we’ve ever needed. You and Matt will lead the people together and make sure the fractions find harmony once again." I blush at her praise, and don’t feel like I deserve it. I have done nothing of the sorts ever in my life, and have my doubts if I can really do all this?
’Don’t forget about Kiera. She would have been stuck with the awful Maria, had it not been for us. And what about the spells locked inside Jason? You have accomplished so much already, Little One. And what about me? If you doubt yourself, you also doubt me.’ Galaxy’s voice of reason sounds inside my head. I guess she is right, and I need to trust in myself.
’Damn straight I’m right. Don’t you forget it, or I will ask Blade to knock some sense into you.’ Galaxy barks a laugh and retreat into the back of my mind again.
"Do you think Jax will get Winter to come with him and the pack members to Silver mist? And did they leave yet?" I ask everyone.
"Yes, both him and Kaiden have gone to get it all. They have taken a few pack members, as to not worry Winter too much when they arrive." Matt answers.
"As for Winter coming to live here. That is indeed a good question, Abby. She is pretty stubborn, but I’m sure when Jax and your beta explain you live here, she will be happy to make the move. She always bugged Mallory to get to meet you, and when she died, Winter was heartbroken. Winter swore to get back at Black Moon for what they did, and she really wanted to go get you and take you back with her so she could protect you." Ellie explains.
We all sit in silent after this, and watch as the warriors arrive at the main training ground.
Some warriors are not from our pack. I guess they are from Winter Moon, and when they greet Matt and me, my suspicions are confirmed. I smile to myself. This will be a good thing. People from both packs will learn the technique of meditation, and will give this knowledge to the other training classes.
But my smile falters when I sense the hostility towards Willow, and especially Ellie. Suddenly, a warrior attacks the girls with an ear-piercing scream; "YOU MONSTER! GET AWAY FROM THE Alpha AND LUNA."
I create a barrier between the warrior and the girls, Ornata and Greyson, who sit beside them. Rage has blinded the warrior, and he hammers on the barrier. Willow cries loudly as Ornata moves her to her lap to console her. Ellie glares at the man while also trying to comfort the scared girl. Matt throws the man away from the girls, but he ignores it and spring right to it again.
"Stop that! They are my guests, and family." I shout. He ignores my shout and tries relentlessly to get to Willow and Ellie. Before Matt can react, I tap into my powers and throw the man far away, sprint at him, and knock him to the ground. Holding him in place, while trying not to shift immediately, even though Galaxy wants to tear him to shreds for scaring and attacking her family. freēwebnovel.com
"HOW DARE YOU SCARE MY GUESTS LIKE THAT?" Galaxy and I scream in his face in our Luna tone. Galaxy is surfacing, livid at the warrior’s attitude. The man glares at me with venom in his eyes and spits at the ground beside me.
"They are monsters and should be killed! They are killing machines. Especially that one there." He points at Ellie, who crosses her arms and rolls her eyes.
"Abby, please let the barrier down. I can protect myself and Willow." Ellie says. I do as she says, but keep my hold on the thrashing man.
"What is happening here?" A familiar voice rings out. Jason.
"Your guy here is ignoring a command from the Alpha of the Silver Mist AND the fact that I clearly asked him to step down!" I spit at Jason. He is now sniffing the air and looking frantically around. His eyes set on Ellie, and he rushes to her.
"MINE!" He roars as he picks her up by her thighs. Ellie looks taken aback, but her legs immediately wrap around Jason, who leans into her neck and takes a deep breath. Seriously, what is it with these guys and the possessiveness?
