Coming into Our Wolf

“I had a talk with my wolf last night after we got back from talking with Tara. She told me something, and I wanted to check with my wolf on something that she said. Then after I talked with my wolf and we came to an agreement. I went to bed and didn’t wake up till now when you came barreling in.” Athena explained

“What kind of talk did you have with your wolf that you and she had to come to an agreement?” Aiden asked her

“We talked about me accepting my wolf as an adult. Going ahead and maturing early and not waiting till I was eighteen. She was already ready to go, and she was just waiting for me. So I told her lets go ahead and do it. I guess that's why I slept for so long because we changed.” Athena replied

“Do you mean you are now what you would have been at eighteen?” Aiden asked

“Yes, that is what I am saying. I know that there are things we have to learn yet but we have the power now to defend ourselves if my father comes for me. I will not be caught off guard now,” Athena said

“That means you could find your mate now if you wanted to, or do what you have been planning for your life before you find your mate. So what are you going to do?” Aiden asked because he was wondering if they were mates and then he would protect her and she would become his Luna, yet knowing that is not what she truly wants.

“I think for now I will go ahead with my plan because even Morriganam isn’t ready for her mate yet,” Athena said

“I can understand that, but why wait? He would help you.” Aiden tried to understand

“No, most Alpha males will not accept an Alpha female they would want her to change and be a Luna, not wanting to share as equals. Plus, let me be a doctor who wants to help all the werewolf kind. I would rather have it already shown that I can do it before he comes along to change me.” Athena tried to explain

“Not all of us are like that,” Aiden told her

“True. But most are. They don’t want their women to be better than them. They don’t want her to make more money. Men try to hold a woman back instead of helping her move forward to be like him. This is a man’s world even with werewolves. At least in the human world, the women can do a little more, but men still think they are better. It’s time that women get seen as equals not just objects. They can say all they want, but how they talk and treat a woman says a lot more. I want to help with that. My mate may not see it the same way. I can’t have that right now.” Athena said

“Ok, I get it.I see your point and I even know that I would have a hard time with it at first. Oh yeah, dad wanted me to tell you that your father has been to his council about you. That they want to talk to you and your brother about what your father has said. They are having a hard time talking with your little brother and mother because your father wants to be with them and the council wants them on their own. They find that a little odd so they want to talk with you guys now and wait with them. Then my father will talk with them as a witness to how your father was treating you and how disrespectful he was. Plus, your brother wants to see you and talk to you. I think since you have your adult wolf now that you could come to the compound now with the new look no one will know it's you. Your father won’t know that you did the change already. So you will have him by surprise on that one.” Aiden explained to her

“Sounds good. Can I go there tomorrow and talk to your father and my brother?” Athena asked

“Let me make the arrangements for you,” Aiden told her

“Thank you,” Athena said

I wonder what he is thinking about Morriganam. He just has this look on his face like he is in deep thought. Can you get anything from his wolf? I can try to talk to his wolf. I haven’t tried yet. Which is odd that his wolf has said nothing to me since he should be able to feel our alpha power? He should want to see if I am a threat to him. I don’t get it, but I will reach out. Morriganam replied.

“Aiden what are you thinking about? You have this look about you.” Athena asked him

“Well, I was wondering about how much of an alpha you are now and what your wolf looks like. You never showed me. Plus, you were a hell of a fighter before, I have to wonder how that was affected. It’s hard thinking that you was a beast of a fighter before and now means you could be unbeatable and that could be a problem in the long run depending how the council sees you,” Aiden replied

“I can understand all of that. I will show everyone when I get to talk to your father and my brother. It is only fair that they are all in on this. Let me just say that I will be able to go up against anyone and not fear that I will die” Athena said (AKA Kenda)

“You are sure of that? I can wait for that. I totally understand why you would want it that way.” Aiden said

“Thank you just let me know when and time for me to go talk with them. I have to call the school to see if I can test out and graduate now so I can start college this summer. I don’t want to waste time on anything. Oh, yes I am very sure of that.” Athena told him

“Ok I will go and I will get back with you later today with time and all,” Aiden said as he walked out the door.

Morriganam was you able to get anything from his wolf? Aiden wouldn’t say much except that he wants to see you. He is wondering about you and your strength. Don’t worry Kenda. He is wondering if we could be his mate. I found out from his wolf he feels a pull to us and isn’t sure why. I don’t know if I feel the mate bond for him since we have been keeping our scent hidden. But I think there is something there and if there is, we will need to stay hidden so he can’t pick it up. I’m not ready to mate with anyone just yet. I want to see what we can do on our own first. I want to show them we don’t need a mate at our side but want a mate that is our equal. I don’t think it’s the mating bond anyway because I should feel it when I talk to his wolf, but we need to be careful just in case I am wrong. I agree with you Morriganam. I will take a shower and get ready. I'm hoping we will get to see Keme today. I miss him so much. We will talk about Morriganam later. Just as I was getting out of the shower I heard a knock at my door. Damn, I can’t get any peace around here. I bet it’s Aiden at my door either he is bored or he has the information that I am waiting on.

“Just a minute I will be there to answer the door.” Why is he always banging on my door? I hurry and get dressed and go to the door. When I see it’s a young girl about sixteen, with short dirty blond hair, and big blue eyes. Her height couldn’t be more than five feet. She looks scared and I have to wonder what she is doing here.

“Hello, how can I help you?” I asked the young girl

“I’m sorry I thought this was someone else’s place. I didn’t realize that you were human.” The young girl said

“Come in. You need to watch saying things like that. You could have said that to the wrong person. I knew you were a young wolf pup, but I wasn’t thinking you were a rogue. Why are you a rogue?”Athena asked her

“My pack kicked me out when I refused to be a mate for someone who wasn’t my mate and they told me I either became his mate or I would be beating so I ran away. My wolf led me here to you.” The young girl explained

“Ok, what is your name. I don’t want to have to call you pup all this time. My name is Athena and I will help you as long as you are honest with me.” Athena said

“My name is Rami, and I was a part of the Night Beam pack until about a week ago. It took me that long to find you by my wolf guiding me and yet you smell human. How is that?” Rami asked

“It is something I can teach you to do, I learned at a young age to mask my scent from other wolves or from the human’s so they don’t feel the wolf inside me and fear me. Why were you not taught this?” Athena asked with wondered

“My pack didn’t think women needed to know anything but to be mated to who they told you to mate with and have babies. Along with cooking and cleaning. Very few women there have choices or anything. None are happy there and wish they could leave but many are scared too.” Rami explained.

“Ok Rami, I will help you, but you will have to join me for me to do that. Are you willing to join me as my first pack member?” Athena asked

“Yes, Alpha.” Came Rami’s reply

“Then you need to know that my real name is Kenda, and I was part of my father’s pack until he wanted what wasn’t his and that’s my power of being a female Alpha. His pack wants me dead now, and that pack is the Great Wolf pack. So you have a lot to learn and we will need to get you a new identity and stuff to keep you safe if your pack is looking for you. Plus, you will need to be in school. So I will become my true self and let my Alpha scent out to you so you can get to know me. Then I will cut my hand and yours say a few words and then you will repeat and join, Understand?” Kenda asked

“Yes, Alpha” Remi replied

I cut my hand then did the same to Rami and joined our hands I will say this and then you will repeat then say I accept you Alpha. Understand?” Kenda asked

“Yes, Alpha.” Rami reply

“All brothers and sisters, whether born wolves or reborn

To the moon and our packs forever worn.

By the sun, the moon and the power of three

Spirits from the deep who never sleep, be kind to me.

Stars and spirits and powers that be,

Wolves of the woods that listen to me,

I accept you Rami into my pack Moon Goddess Pack

This is my will, so mote it be.” Athena said out loud

“All brothers and sisters, whether born wolves or reborn

To the moon and our packs forever worn.

By the sun, the moon and the power of three

Spirits from the deep who never sleep, be kind to me.

Stars and spirits and powers that be,

Wolves of the woods that listen to me,

I accept you Alpha Kenda as my Alpha of the Moon Goddess Pack” Rami repeated, and they both felt the joining of each other come together as Rami was now in Kenda’s head.

“It is done and you are now mine to take care of. You will stay here in my spare room and go to school. We will get you all set up in a few days but first I need to teach you to mask your scent.” Kenda explained

“Thank you, Alpha,” Rami said

“Rami when it is just us, you can call me Kenda, but when others are around, you need to call me Athena. When it’s pack business then Alpha.Because I haven’t told the council yet that I was starting a pack. You kinda got me started early.” Kenda explained

“Cool. I understand and I will learn anything you want to teach me. Plus, what will my rank be in your pack or will we have ranks?” Rami asked

“For now, you will be my beta and as we get new people, you all will have to do a stare-down to see where your rank is. I will not have my pack fighting for rank when you can just stare at someone to know who is more dominant than the other. Plus, then we all still have respect and we are all still family.” Kenda explained

They both heard a knock at the door and Rami was scared because she could tell it was another Alpha at the door.

“Athena there is another Alpha at the door and he seems worried or nervous,” Rami said

“Ok, Go into the kitchen and get you something to eat while I deal with this,” Athena told her

I know it’s Aiden this time for sure. I can smell him and his wolf is on the surface. She opens the door and Aiden walks on in and looks around.

“I smell a rogue on my territory and it’s not you,” Aiden said

“Yes, you do and her name is Rami, and she is now mine to care for. I joined her. I will look for another place as soon as I talk to your father. I think I know what will become my way now. I really need that meeting right away.” Athena said

“Ok and you did what? How can you do that already and you don’t have the name of a pack yet? We are headed to see my father now so let’s go. You can explain on the way.” Aiden said

“Rami let’s go. We have to go meet with a few people.” Athena hollered out and Rami walked out of the kitchen looking scared but strong. Aiden couldn’t get over the young girl and wondered what her story was. He knew they both had a lot of explaining to do.
