“You’re right, I do have a connection to the Moon Goddess.” My eyes went wide.
“Can you just have conversations with her? Or how does that even work? I have so many questions!” I blurted, leaving the bite I was about to take hanging in the air and thinking of all the things I would want to know having that kind of access.
“Hold on, hold on. It’s not that easy.” She giggles at my excitement. “I can talk to her, or rather make requests to talk to her, she’s a bit busy.” Luna Anne winks at me. “But mostly she comes to me with things that I need to know or things that need immediate intervention. She mostly lets us handle ourselves, but occasionally she needs our help. She told me about you actually, it was the reason we chose to visit your pack.”
“Wait, what? What do I have to do with anything?” I was afraid I had done something so bad that I needed to be watched.
“Relax, child, you didn’t do anything wrong, but the people who could help you had their hands tied, and that is all that I am allowed to say about your situation. The Moon Goddess knows you well and has special plans for you. We needed to get you out of your pack before anything else escalated.”
My jaw was on the floor and I’m sure the look on my face was hilarious. I wonder if the Moon Goddess told her about all the things I went through with Kaley. I wonder if she knows who attacked me in the locker room after training?
“Close your mouth, you look like a fish. Don’t be surprised when people take notice of you. You work hard for it. It’s okay to be seen for the amazing things that you do.”
“I don’t know how to respond to that, I literally have no words.” I mumbled at her and she just laughed again.
“So say nothing and just listen. You need to be trained for whatever is coming. ThRogue King is trying his best to take over. He wants total control over all of the territories and our is the biggest in our region, so he’s starting here. There have been smaller attacks going on for a while, and that usually isn’t cause for alarm. Packs have feuds and disputes all the time that lead to fighting before it’s resolved. But many reports that we are getting are of attacks that seem to be unprovoked and upon further inspection is not the work of a neighboring pack, but an outside group. This is what most of our warriors are researching and gathering information on for us when they go outside the territory.”
“What does all of this have to do with me though? I’m only 15, barely old enough to be a warrior let alone make any kind of impact.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. You are so much more and you started blooming so early no one knew what to do with you, so the Goddess let you keep yourself hidden until the time was right to reveal your talents. When she thought you were ready, she came to me and we brought the trials to you. You have no idea what kind of impact you had at those trials do you?”
