It’s been a few hours and Luna is picking on Jolene, “What if your mate is a grandpa?”
Jolene makes a mocking, gagging noise.Luna laughs, “I am serious! What if he has been waiting for you for like fifty years?”Jolene shakes her head, “That's gross!”Luna shrugs but argues, “I agree, but wolves live by different rules. Your soulmate could already have a wife and children. If he has been waiting for you for over ten years, he’s allowed to marry an unmated she wolf.”In slow motion, Jolene turns her head to look at Luna.Seeing that she's not kidding Jolen freaks out, “What if he is old, Can he protect me? If hes married to another wolf, then where does that leave me?”Luna’s tries not to laugh, “You’d have to share him..”Jolene freaks out, “Ewe!”Luna can’t contain her laughter, “I’ve seen where two unmated 40 year old wolves got married. Both of their mates came like 20 years later. They all lived together and were a very powerful four-some.”Jolene would normally laugh but she shakes her head, “I will not!”Luna shrugs, “You can say whatever you want, but once bonded.. You can’t undo that.”Jolene sighs, “He’d have to divorce her!”Luna shakes her head, “That’s illegal in the wolf world. If you made him, you’d be held accountable.”Jolene groans and screams into the palms of her hands.Luna pats her shoulders, “Let's talk about your training.”Jolen is filled with confusion and excitement, “What do you mean?”Luna raises her eyebrows, “I love you, but we have sheltered you. You will get eaten alive if you don’t learn how to fight like a wolf. Even then, that won’t be enough. I am going to train you to be a self proclaimed witch.”Jolene is confused, “What?”Luna doesn’t make eye contact but her tone is warning enough, “I will teach you to use the earth and the moon, to do small amounts of witchcraft. You are not a natural, so whenever you borrow from the earth, water, or the moon. You need to ask before you borrow.”She takes in a painful breath and starts to tell a story, “A long time ago, a witch fell in love with a wolf. She taught him so much, but other wolves killed her. He got so mad, he forgot to ask for permission and he used the three elements to kill the wolf pack…”Jolene gasps, “Oh, no!”Luna nods, “He has been trapped and used by the moon Goddess, as an example. He has been her slave ever since.”Jolene argues, “This sounds dangerous!”Luna shrugs, “Not having the three elements on your side is dangerous.”Jolene can’t argue so she changes the subject to, “How are you going to teach me how to fight like a wolf?”Luna is filled with frustration when she blurts out, “I don’t know! I don’t have all the answers!”Jolene nods and remembers, “How did you do that, back there?”Luna plays dumb, “How did I do what, my love?”Jolene playfully slaps her, “That, you slammed both of them up against the wall.”Luna chuckles, “I’m a witch!”Jolene shook her head, “No, Rora is a witch too..”Luna cuts her off, “So?”Jolene gives her a knowing look, “Rora always uses verbal enchantments. Every witch that I have met does verbal chants. You didn’t say a word, you just flung your hands around!”Luna is obviously hiding something, “I guess, I never noticed that before.”Jolene doesn’t believe her, but knows that Luna won’t tell her. Out of frustration, she lays her head on the window and closes her eyes.Rora pulls over to the side of the road and climbs out. She motions for Luna to come, Jolene is sleeping. Luna quietly climbs out of the car, and makes her way to her sister.Rora tells her, “I think we need to go and see the queen..”Luna cuts her off, “Not going to happen..”Rora argues, “We need help!”Luna agrees, “Yes, but not from the queen.”Rora is impatient, “Then from who!”Luna grabs her arms and with her touch, eyes, and tone she lays down the law, “I will summon the Goddesses and get advice.”Rora argues, “but, you know the Goddesses are still mad..”Luna shakes her head, “No, they aren’t..”Rora questions, “How do you know?”Luna shrugs, “Whispers, chats, secrets in that air..”To most, her ramblings wouldn’t make sense, but Rora knows what this means. Luna has started worshiping again. Rora isn't nearly as powerful or adventurous as her sister. She would never dabble with uncontrollable power, but Luna puts all her faith in the Goddess's.Rora asks, “So how do we teach her to fight like a werewolf?”Luna shrugs, “I am hoping that the moon Goddess, will show me?”Rora gasps, “No!”Luna goes to argue but Rora continues, “What if you ask her to show us who the mate is, he can train her, and fall in love before the full moon!”Luna laughs and hugs her sister, “This is the Rora I know and love! That is such a charming idea!”Rora pushes her away, “So where is a good spot?”Luna points a knowing finger at her, taking a few steps back. She flings her arms into the air, and spins. Suddenly she stops. Rora just stares. Luna's eyes are white, this shows she’s tapping into her powers.In a deep voice that isn’t Lunas she demands, “Go to a river and wait. When the moon lights up the grass and shows it’s self to the water, the one you need will appear.”A gust of wind blows both sisters to the ground. They stare at each other in fear, and excitement. They jumps up and hold hands, spinning around in circles. Laughter fills the air. They abruptly stop at the sounds a confused voice.They look to see Jolene, “Where are we, why are you two dancing in the middle of the rode, and what on earth is so funny?”Rora runs to Jolenes side of the car, “Luna has found the answers!”Jolenes watches as Rora runs to the van and Luna climbs back into the car.As they continue the journey Luna tells her story, “A long time ago, back when I was beautiful..”They both laugh it off and she continues, “I was born in the colony with my sister and our friends. The time went on, and I realized that I’m different. Most witches use verbal commands, I only need to think something and it happens. You thought that I needed to use my hands but I don’t. I just use my hands for dramatic effect.”She pauses for a moment and giggles before continuing, “ This scared everybody including our parents.”Tears fill her eyes, and she continues, “It was a cold and rainy night, of all night, when my parents woke me up. They had taken me to the woods, and told me that I was not allowed to return home. That I’m a danger to the colony. If they don’t kick me out, the colony will kick them out.”I had nowhere to go, and I was terrified. I was sitting by the river, and it was a full moon, and all I could hear were werewolves around me. No one was coming for me, but everyo
As the goddesses disappear, Jolene‘s body starts to float to the ground. Theo catches her and she lands gently in his arms. He carries her smoothly over to Rora and Luna. He and Luna and Luna smiles at him softly. She motions for him to follow her and to place her back in the seat.Rora tells him, “You can ride with me.”He disagrees, “My job is to protect Jolene. I will be riding with Jolene.”Luna appreciates him but explains, “There is no room for you in the car.”He argues, “Then I will drive.”Luna laughs, “have you ever driven before?”He surprises her, “I have, I have driven the moon goddess around a few times when she just needed some fresh air and wanted to enjoy the earth.”He snatches the keys from her hands, and then climbs in next to Jolene. Rora and Luna share worried looks, but they know that they aren’t going to win this one. The climb into the van bickering among each other.*A few hours later*Jolene wakes up and is shocked and confused by the handsome Stranger sitt
Rora and Theo become instant friends. Jolene finds herself getting a little jealous. She doesn’t understand why he doesn’t want to be her friend. Luna and Jolene are riding together again. Rora was able to talk him into riding with her.Luna can’t stop talking about him, “I can’t believe he’s so handsome. I heard stories, but they do not compare.”She laughs, but Jolene just remains quiet.Luna continues, “I can’t believe out of all of us that it’s Rora he has taken to.”She laughs but is getting annoyed by Jolene’s silence, “What’s so quiet? What are you jealous of Rora?”She laughs, but Jolene's silent answer is more than enough and she gasps, “OMG, you're jealous!”Jolene shrugs, “Maybe, I'm not sure. I’m happy that she finally had a friend. I just wish that I could have a chance to get to know him too.”She just stares blankly at Jolene. Jolene gets frustrated, “Why are you staring at me like that?”Luna smiles at her, “I think you have a crush on him?”Jolene laughs, “I don’t kn
Diablo takes them back to his place.he takes Holene to her guest room, for a nap. Luna and Rora, admire the cave. He built a cozy mention inside a cave. Theo is skeptical, “You're the son of the king of the werewolves, and this is your home?”Diabo is irritated, “I don’t live with my father. I don’t live off of my father. We haven’t even spoken in over a year.”Theo crosses his arms, “And why not?”Diablo mimics him, “My dad isn’t what he used to be. He’s obsessed with finding Jolene. He’s out of control and uses cruel and unusual punishments on wolves that don’t deserve it.Theo studies him for a moment and then decides to drop it. He walks to Jolene's room and peaks in on her. He watches her for a moment and can’t contain his smile. She starts to move and he speed walks to his room.Jolene's eyes open, she looks around and sees that she's alone. She shakes off that feeling like someones watching her, and she drifts back to sleep.Luna and Rora can't stop touching the wall. The cave
After a few days of being with Diablo at his house, he stresses to everybody, “I will admit that we are safe here, but it’s not doing any good. We need back up, we need an army, we need to be better prepared.”Diablo agrees, “You’re right, but we need wolves, we don't need witches.” Rora debates, “I agreed that we need wolves, but we also need witches, too”Theo suggests, “ What if we go to my old clan and see if they’ll help us?”Luna is confused, “I thought you killed all of them?”Theo is slightly amused, “No, that was not my clan. There was a she wolf, and she was in love with me, and she got jealous, because she thought that her and I should have been married, because neither of us had found our mates.”Diablo laughs, “You sly dog!”They all start to laugh.Rora does her little chants and items start to pack themselves.Diablo seems sad, “You’re leaving?”Luna encourages, “You can come with us?”Theo doesn’t look like he agrees but Diablo asks, “Really?”Luna blushes and runs h
*Two days later*Jolene is starting to lose faith in those that promised to protect her. One of the werewolves walks by the curtain and it moves. It allows a little ray of sunshine to sneak in. As the heat hits her face she thinks of Apollo.The sun burns so bright, it causes the curtain to set fire. The whole building starts to shake and water seeps in through every crack. Wild and deadly vines start to kill the werewolves one by one. She hears screams and Luna comes barricading through the walls and demands, “Get out!”Jolene smiles at the sight of her but listens and runs.Her wolf takes over and she runs right past Diablo Jr.He follows her, “How is this possible? Our father didn’t even do this? You are so much stronger than him!”At this point she doesn’t care, “Forget about him! He’s no father to me!”He howls in agreement and leads her to safety.When they get where they need to be he tells her, “when you left, Theo took it hard!”Jolene is confused, “How?”He shakes his head
Jolene is thrown down to the ground, but she gets back up, and rushes at Apollo with all her strength. He barely moves out of the way, but she surprises him by taking him out by his ankles. She jumps on top of him and holds him down.Apollo smirks at her, “You know, I let you win?”Jolene snickers, “and why would you do that?”He brushes his lips against her ear, “I like you in this position.”She accidentally lets out a passionate breath.He flips her over, smirking down at her, “Who am I kidding?”She looks confused until he leans down and she feels his hot breath on her lips, “I like this spot too.”He gives her a passionate kiss and for a moment, she forgets where she is.Luna and Diablo walk into the room and dramatically cover their eyes, “Come on guys, get a room!”Apollo pulls away from her and gives her a look.She pushes him off of her, “No! I have told you a hundred times, I am not ready for that!”Luna is shocked, “What happened to waiting for your mate?”Diablo answers fo
Apollo and Jolene are having dinner with Luna and Diablo. They are laughing when the moon Goddess appears. Apollo stands up to welcome her, but is cautious by her vibes.He gives her a chance to speak and she does, “Shane on you, Apollo!”He sarcastically points to himself, “Me?”She laughs? “You know what you did!”He shakes his head and sips his wine.She turns to Luna, “Diablo has teamed up with the vampires!”Luna makes a disgusted noise, “That’s just wrong!”The moon Goddess adds, “They’ve kidnapped Theo!”Luna worries, “Rora?”She shakes her head, “Just Theo!”She turns to Jolene, “They know he’s your mate!”Luna questions, “How?”She shrugs, “The vampires have their own witches!”Luna scowls, “Traders!”The moon Goddess informs her, “It’s the queen..”Luna stands up, “It’s time for me to take back my place as queen!”Diablo gets excited, “That’s my girl!”The moon Goddess turns to Jolene, “It is your time to become queen!”Jolene can’t get the words out because she is too focus
