Filed to story: Wolf Crying Mate of the Alpha by Jazz Ford
‘Leave the bodies. I want King Fenris and his army to see them,’ I command.
We continue forward and reach Thistle Well.
‘Luna, we are here. We are finally here,’ Troy says with relief.
Hundreds of pack warriors approach us.
‘Troy, it’s good to see you,’ a warrior says, then looks and inspects all the villagers.
‘Troy, are these humans?’ He asks.
The warriors begin to sniff the air and confirm their suspicions.
‘Yes, they are here to help. They are going to fight alongside us,’ Troy says.
‘Alpha King Damon and our Luna have also offered them our protection,’
They all look at each other.
‘So, it’s true then. Alpha King Damon has found his mate?’ They ask. Troy nods.
‘As a matter of fact, she is here right now. She needs food and water. She has only just managed to escape from King Fenris,’
They all let out a gasp and looked through the crowd of people on horseback.
‘Vivian darling,’ he says.
The warriors give Troy a look.
‘Darling?’ A warrior asks.
Vivian trots forward. I sit saddled in front of her.
‘Everyone, this is my mate Vivian, and yes, she is human and to be treated with the utmost respect, and this is our Luna and Queen, Maia,’ Troy says, introducing us.
The pack warriors begin to kneel and bow to me.
One of the warriors’ approaches, lifts me from the horse and gently carries me.
‘I will take our Luna to be fed and tended to immediately,’ he says.
‘I will settle the villagers in amongst you,’ Troy replies.
The warrior carries me into a hut and places me on a makeshift bed. There is another man in the hut.
‘Vivian?’ I yell. And fall over in the bush.
‘Maia, is that you out there?’ She yells.
‘Take your time sitting up, Luna,’ he says.
I wait for my eyes to focus and look around. The man takes a chair and sits next to me. He passes me a cup of water.
It’s nice and cold. I drink it down.
‘It’s a pleasure to meet you, Luna. I’m Nelson,’ he says.
‘Thank you for the water, Nelson, but I must find Damon,’ I say, trying to stand up.
‘Alpha isn’t here yet, Luna,’ he says, looking away.
‘Where is he?’ I say with worry.
‘Last I heard, he was in Shadowguard village following behind King Fenris’ army, so I assume he would be near Wellmore or the forest by now. You should stay and rest here till he arrives back,’ he says.
The army could be entering through the border at any moment. I will be of no help resting in this hut.
‘Nelson, please just find someone to remove these iron cuffs from me,’ I command.
He mind-links another for assistance.
‘I have someone on their way to remove those for you, Luna.’
He brings me a plate of food, and I happily demolish it all down. Not wanting to wait any longer, I walk out of the tent and see thousands of pack warriors. Although it’s a large army of warriors, it only seems to be half the amount or less compared to King Fenris’ army.
Everyone begins to bow when they notice me, and they are in utter awe at my beauty and violet eyes.
A warrior approaches me and kneels in front of me.
‘My Luna, my Queen, I have come to remove the iron cuffs from your wrists, and I want you to know what an honour it is to finally meet you,’ he says.
I smile at his genuine heartfelt words.
I follow his lead, and he gestures for me to sit in the chair. After a few moments, he removes the iron cuffs the moment they are gone, I summon flame in one hand and a sphere of water in the other.
The warriors have never seen anything like this before.
‘Luna, how is this possible? What are you? You have no wolf?’ A warrior says.
I approach him with a smile.
‘Did Damon, my mate, forget to tell you all that your Luna and Queen is a primal sprite?’ I smile.
They all look at each other in shock?
‘Sprites are just a fairy tale, Luna, just like witches, orcs,’ and vampires,’ he says.?
Oh, this is going to be fun.
I run forward towards the pack warriors. They begin to part aside as I run past them. I stop, close my eyes, and focus.
The weather is hot, and it’s very dry out here. So I decide to make it rain. I smirk to myself and open my eyes. A massive sphere of water is high up in the sky above us.
Everyone is mesmerised, I clap my hands together once, and it bursts into a myriad of raindrops that fall upon us. I twirl in a circle and embrace every raindrop that lands on me. Just as I did the day, I first learnt how to do this. The warriors all cheer and chuckle at what they are witnessing. Troy approaches with a smile.
‘I see you are feeling better?’ He says.
