Maya’s POV
“What am I doing?” “What are we doing?” After the first night, I was panicking already from leaving the pack house to coming outside to do something I wasn’t even sure would turn out well.
For better information and understanding, I left the pack house in the evening a day before with one of the female guards allocated to the pack house.
After promises made to compensate her, she complained and decided she would go with me and that was what motivated her. For me, I just wanted to see a better pack and issues more resolved.
Suspicions had been flying and the first place I decided I would go to was the neighbouring pack. Instincts led me there and I was convinced I would find something that linked them to us.
The girl had been really supportive until I burst out panicking because it didn’t seem like we were making so much progress with what we were doing.
We both sat there in the open. We had settled on an abandoned field, it didn’t look like someone was still in charge of it or maybe the person travelled. We stayed there through the night and that was having me riot in my head about the decisions.
I feared what was going on back at the pack, if Venom was worrying about me and if he had gotten a search party set up to find me again just like it happened the last time. Although, in the letter I wrote, I had said so many things and one of them being he shouldn’t worry.
I tried putting myself in his shoes and I realized he would probably be more discombobulated than I could imagine.
“Dammit!” I complained.
The lady only looked at me from afar without interacting with me and my dilemma.
I gave up on complaining and lamenting, it wasn’t taking me anywhere. I rested my head on the couple of sacks we had assembled so we could lay on them. That would be our bed throughout our time there.
Crossing the territory was the main issue and after that, we would be able to face alpha Maximum and his pack even if we had little information on things going on there.
The lady took up our position and we didn’t say anything throughout the night. We were both quiet laying side by side, but we didn’t face each other as we did that.
The next morning, it was cold when we woke up and we had to quickly pack up things so we could move.
“How are you feeling?” I asked her, trying to steer up a conversation with her.
“I’m feeling okay. A little bit cold, but nothing our wolf bodies can’t handle.” She replied to me seeming positive.
” I’m sorry I didn’t talk to you for the past days, I just had a lot of thoughts bothering me and everything going on has been affecting my thoughts.” I explained myself to her, hoping she would be able to sympathise with me.
And she did. Luckily, we were able to keep on talking about things and she didn’t take anything to heart.
” So, what’s your name?” I asked her.
” Tianna, ma’am.” She replied.
“I don’t think the formality is so necessary, you don’t really have to add that.” I told her. That took me down memory lane of how I would call Venom Master and he would refuse me doing that.
A lot of things were driving my thoughts back to him and it was obvious that I missed him. Before my thoughts would drive me away from being conscious of my surroundings, I shut those things and we began preparations to leave.
The sacks were returned to where we found them and we didn’t take anything else apart from the bag we both came with.
“What’s the reason for this?” Tianna mentioned.
That propelled a pause from me before I could say anything.
“I don’t really know. I just feel I should help as the future Luna of the pack. It’s only my duty after all.” I told her.
“How has it been being the Luna?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
I never felt conscious of being the Luna, I only ever saw myself as Venom’s mate and alpha. I took another thought and the words came out, “I don’t know.”
She looked at me amused and I could tell she was ouzzledd by what I had just told her, but it was really the truth, I didn’t know.
“But you’re on this journey, aren’t you?” She protested my reply.
“I think I’m just doing this to help and because I’ve been idle for too long.”
In a composed synergy, we both took a rest by a large boulder which we found on the road. We had not eaten breakfast or drank anything since we started out in the morning.
“It feels great to be with the Alpha then, doesn’t it?” She asked me.
“Yeah, it does.” I took a break and thought about how things had changed for me. It was all due to Venom’s help and intervention.
“You know, he actually helped me a lot and I am indebted to him. It feels more than great to be with him.”
I spoke about him in admiration and I could sense the same respect as she watched me speak. We managed to exchange eye to eye contact a few times.
“In what way did he help? We never really knew or do I say the people never really knew.” I could sense she was trying to be polite without seeming like she was poke-nosing.
She had been quite calm with the questions and pulled back.
“Well, it never really got published by anyone but yeah, he helped me away from the hell’s pit in my original pack and that was how everything started. She was staring the whole time and picked up everything I spilled out. “I was bought by him.”
She was quite attentive. I was glad I had someone to talk to on the journey, maybe I’d have lost my mind if I didn’t have one.
