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 everyone knows that the full moon is the night for the werewolves. Usually, witches stay in to keep safe but, I had been kicked out. I had nowhere to go.I was terrified. I have my feet in the water and my head on the grass licking at the moon and I prayed that God would help me..”She pauses and giggles, “ to my surprise all three have made themselves appear to me.”Jolene is confused, “All three?”Luna verifies, “The moon goddess was the first one. She didn’t show in human form, but she looked down at me and she smiled, and I could feel her surrounding me. She was protecting me.”Jolene smiles at her in hopes to hear more.Luna continues, “Next was the water Goddess. Trickles of water started to climb up my body, and it filled me with a warmth that I couldn’t explain. That was how I knew that the water goddess was with me.”Jolene is cheating at her in excitement over what she is hearing as she continues, “As the wolves surrounded me. The Earth goddess made an appearance. I could feel her presence through the roots of my toes.”Luna pauses as she reminisces on the memory.Joanne gets impatient, “Well what happened?”Luna's eyes go wide as she relives the memory, “One I won. The wolves came attacking. They didn’t know my past.They only thing they knew was that witch is out on their night. This was disrespectful.”Jolene gasps and listens to her nervously, “They attacked me one by one. I didn’t even have to move. I could feel the goddesses working together to keep me safe. They took control of my body and they used the elements to protect me. It had ended with the wolves bowing to me, and that is how I became the queen of witches.”Jolene is shocked, “You’re the queen?”Luna corrects her, “I was the queen until my husband cheated on me and I disappeared. It didn’t take long for the new queen to take my position. She thinks I’m dead and it better stay that way because of her and I have to fight. It will be so catastrophic that it could cause thousands of lives. We are considered two of the most powerful beings on the earth.”She pauses, and makes eye contact with Jolene, “No matter what you can never tell a soul who I really am. When the time comes, I will make myself known, but until then it has to stay hushed.”Jolene nods in agreement but asks, “So now what do we do?”Luna smiles, “We go to the river and wait for nighttime to come. When the moon shows itself in the river and the grass lights up from the moon, we will have a meeting with the goddess. I will ask them for help and we will go from there.”Luna turns up the music and starts to dance. Jolene is filled with so much excitement that she joins in. She just happily stares out the window. Her mind runs wild.Jolene falls asleep and Luna finds herself praying to the sun, “I know you’re not a fan of mine. I know that you won’t be at the meeting, please help her. Protect her during the daytime.”For the first time ever, Luna has hoped that the sun is listening when it trickles so bright that it blind her for, but a second. She smiles and feels some sort of hope.The sky starts to get dark and Luna is about to lose hope. Rora surprises her when she pulls up to her river. They park the car and Luna gets out and runs to the river in shock. She can’t believe where they are.Rora asks, “Will this river work?”Luna laughs amusingly, “Are you kidding me?”Rora shrugs in confusion, “What’s wrong with it?”Luna shakes her head and laughs as she runs and leaps into her sister's arms, “You silly silly woman. You really don’t know where we are?”Rora shakes her head.Luna pushes away from her sister and flings her arms into the air as she spins around and declares, “This is the same river where I first met the goddesses. This is where I was in this exact spot..” she dips her feet into the river.Continuing, “When I was declared to be the queen of the witches.”Rora is shocked, “What are the chances that this would be the same river that we are at tonight?”Three unfamiliar laughs cause Rora to jump back.Luna is not surprised, “Hello, thank you for meeting up with me.”The moon goddess covered in a white dress smiles, “It is my pleasure. You know I am very unhappy with how we had left things. You also know that I am very unhappy with my current king of the wolves.”Her sarcasm is straightforward, “It is time for him to be replaced.”She points to the car where Jolene is sleeping, “She is to be the new queen. It shouldn’t be too hard for him when he realizes that it’s time for retirement. At least it’ll be his daughter taking over.”Luna laughs ,”No he woof is going to be OK with a woman taking over.”The moon goddess agrees, “Yes but she won’t be alone because she will have her Mate with her, and he will become the king.Luna points a knowing finger at her, “That is what I wanted to ask you. Could you point us in the direction of him so that he can be the one to train her? Maybe they can have some sort of a bond before..”The moon goddess stops her, “Rules our rules, and I will not bend that particular rule for you. I can’t tell you or show you who he is.”Luna starts to throw a fit but the moon goddess hush”s her, “Now, now Luna. Don’t be like that. I’m not going to leave you hopeless. I will, however, lend you my strongest warrior that I have.”Luna questions, “Are you talking about who I think you’re talking about?”The moon goddess nods, “Yes, Theo!”Luna is excited, “That’s perfect!”Rora asks, “Who?”Luna laughs at her nieveness, “Theo is the werewolf that missused the powers of the Goddes’s to revenge the witch, that he had fallen in love with.”Rora gasps, “I thought that was just an old folks tale!”The water Godess spins around in her blue dress, “No, he is real. That caused a lot of grievence for us…”She giggles crazily, “So much blood..”She giggles and the moon Goddess glares at her.The earth Godess chuckles, “Leave it in the past. It has been a long time, and he has proven himself worthy of another chance..”The moon Godess gives her a thankful look, “Thank you, and I agree. This is the perfect opportunity for him to show that he is ready, to return to the earth.”They form a circle and hold hands. They start to sing a lullaby, Jolenes body floats to the center of the circle. Rora moves towards her, but her sister grabs her hand and stops her. They watch as the earth and water Goddess continues to sing softly. The moon Godess speaks firmly, “I summon Theo, to return to the earth.”A man appears and he is one of the most gorgeous men, the two sisters have ever seen.He doesn’t aknowledge them, he only listens to the moon Goddess, “Theo, come to the center of the circle.”He makes his way into the center and she continues, “This is jolene. You must protect her, at all costs. Train her to be that queen of the wolves. Her wolf is already present, she has no shifting power, but her wolf can hear you. Teach her everything that you know. Protect her, and you will gain your freedom!”All three Godesses nod their heads and with a gust of wind, they disapear.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
Jolene stares up at the castle. She’s been told 100 times that this is going to be hers. She knows that patience is a virtue. First she has to save her future king. She says this was sarcasm to herself because she knows who her real king is.The moon goddess can’t join them on this quest, because as the creator of the wolves, she can dictate what she wants, but she cannot control them or their actions. Luna and Diablo have put together this plan.They go storming in right from the front gate as a distraction. Jolene goes from the back. Everyone is trying to fight out the powerful Luna and Diablo has learned a little bit of magic Jolene snakes in the back. She uses her connection to try to find him. Diablo reassures her that this is how she can find him quickly.Jolene, on the other hand, is struggling with it because her bond with Theo is not complete and it’s not very strong. She uses the invisibility spell that Luna had taught her and she walks around listening to overhears two wolv
