His Blue Moon Princess
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 59

Nora lets go as soon as her Alpha, or former Alpha now I guess, gives up. I'm so happy for her, my heart is about to burst out. Even my wolf is so excited! Tonia gives her some clothes to put on, and she shifts back quickly.

The other's demeanor around her is speaking for itself. Boyan and Tonia are flanking her like bodyguards, and Nate seems protective of her as well. However, Nora doesn't need anyone to speak for herself. We hear the Jade Moon reluctantly conceal his defeat once more, but she still acts very politely and reserved. Their whole pack is ready to submit to her, and everyone waits for her words. Actually, a few are ready to leave now that the fight is over. I get a bit closer, trying to hear her decision.

"I don't want to be your Alpha. That will only be an excuse for you guys to hate me more than you already do, and you will turn on me on the first occasion. I don't want to have to fight every day until one of you gets to kill me. However, I have conditions." The determination on Nora's face is sort of impressive. She is standing like a real Alpha, despite her petite stature. The Jade Moon Pack may be growling, unhappy, but they are at her mercy.

"The Jade Moon Clan will pledge full and complete allegiance to the Velvet Moon Clan from today on. Your turf will become part of their territory, and your Clan members will follow the same rules as theirs." Wow, that's big... A lot of them growl back, but Nora ignores them or makes them shut up with a glare.

"I just submitted your Alpha, I'm free to do whatever I please. You guys never cared about training properly, it's high time for things to change. Your turf is one of the first grounds outside of Silver City. If anyone launches an attack on the Area, you will be the first wall of defense. Do you want to stand in the frontlines being unprepared like you are now?" She says, before turning to her Alpha. "And you, you are going to start acting like a real Alpha. You will train the young ones properly, watch the border and make sure everyone in your Clan is treated fairly. Am I clear?"

"Who are you to decide what kind of Alpha I should be? Aren't you washing your hands off of my pack? You are giving us to him, and now you get to decide what we....." Protests the defeated guy.

But Nora's eyes suddenly burst in anger, and I can feel her Aura, like a cold flame, burning all the way to us. Many people take a step back, their wolves wary or intimidated by hers.

"PROTECTING THEIR PACK IS THE DUTY OF ANY ALPHA HERE!" I start yelling. "Stop being so lazy and do what you were named Alpha for! You may have their respect but you are worse than a dog if you think you can sit comfortably and relax just because of that! Any Clan could overpower yours and yet I'm giving you a chance to keep your turf and pack and turn them into a proper one! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, ALL OF YOU LEAVE!"

Holy shit.... She's the real thing. The guy is so speechless, he looks like he got whipped. Damn, Nora's aura is on a whole other level once she unleashes it! Is it the same weak girl they were talking about? That girl is a hundred percent Alpha material! "Moon Goddess," whispers Iris, just as impressed as I am.

"I know."

"This is for real," says my cousin. "She's going to become the Luna someday."

That, I have absolutely no doubt about it. All around us, people are whispering about her already, some still stunned by her incredible inner wolf. That, plus her appearance that is the one we've only heard about from legends... No doubt, everyone will keep a close eye on her from now on.

"Elena, look!"

Iris gives a little nod in the direction, and I suddenly feel it. Like an icy wind, a cold chill hits me. I recognize that sensation.

The King is here.

That guy is about twice as frightening as Nora. Not only his aura is terrifying, but he's expanding his aura like some death warning. It's like being stared at by a cold-blooded killer, except that he doesn't even have to look our way...

He slowly walks to Nora, but everyone else is so tense they have backed off. I'm pretty sure a few wolves even ran away, too intimidated to stay. Honestly, I can't blame them. My own wolf is not feeling too good either. It's werewolf instinct, we just know who the bigger monster is... He whispers something to Nora, and I realize how calm she is. I'm about fifty feet away, my wolf is freaking out and I'm scared, while she's perfectly fine standing right next to him! Iris is frowning too, and I can tell she's terrorized by the King's murderous aura.

As soon as he starts talking, though I can't hear what he says, more people run away. With all of the Black brothers present, there is no way the Jade Moon has any word to say anymore. Eventually, from their behaviors, I understand the guy submitted to Nora. It's "Elena, let's go back. We shouldn't..."

over...

But I stepped forward, ignoring Iris. I want to talk to Nora, understand why we are able to mind-link... This isn't my first time connecting with another Alpha, but there's something completely different about our link. Like it's engraved in us, something that was there and wide open from the start. I can feel her wolf so easily, this can't be a coincidence!

"Elena!"

Iris insists, but I'm already gone towards the little crowd. Crap, how do I get to her with all those Blood Moon people and wolves surrounding their group? Nora is more heavily guarded than the Mayor... But all of a sudden, she turns her head towards somewhere on my left and starts running. What the hell! And she's hella fast, too!

By reflex, I start running too, trying to follow her from afar. Nora left so fast, only Boyan followed her right away. Everyone departed late, and she's now way ahead. Her wolf is so fast, too, I didn't even see the moment she shape-shifted. I keep running, too, but on my human legs.

Damn, that girl is really fast. Thank Moon Goddess, I was in the right direction to follow her, even if it's from afar. Nora's headed right into the Sea Moon's territory, too, this can't be good... Where is she going anyway? She ran off all of a sudden. I keep tracking her, all the way to the docks. This is no good... None of us should be here.

Bobo and I make eye-contact, though I can't tell if he had noticed me before. He doesn't slow down, though, and we keep running. Crap, I need to shape-shift again or I might lose them...

I look for my wolf, but just when I want to shape-shifts, she refuses and ignores me. What the hell? Why is she acting stubborn now!

Suddenly, I hear a splash. Did something fall in the sea? Bobo runs by me to keep going that direction as if he didn't hear it. I hesitate and go for the seafront. I can feel Nora's wolf that way! Oh Moon Goddess, don't tell me she...? Boyan!

Catch Nora, I need to get him!

Get who, exactly? I growl and jump in the water. f**k, it's the end of November, that damn water is freezing! I can almost feel my clothes getting iced around me!

Hang on!

Thank Moon Goddess, she didn't drown too deep yet. I grab the white wolf by its neck and pull her, swimming my way up. I'm so freaking cold. I finally get us both of the water. Damn, that wind makes it way worse...

Nora is coughing out, shape-shifting back and trying to catch her breath. She gulped a lot of water. I pat her back, hoping she'd warm up soon.

"Are you ok?" I ask, shivering myself.

She nods weakly, while I try to put her hair out of her face, helping her sit up.

"It's ok, breathe. Use the mind-link to talk to me, don't waste your strength."

I feel her inner wolf hesitate, and she finally replaces our mindlink.

Thanks.

I nod. Yes, oh my gosh she really can mindlink back... Damn, she looks exhausted... And I'm strangely happy to be so close to her. I can't describe that feeling, like... We should be together. What the hell is that? I look for my wolf again. Come one, we have to! This time, she shape-shifts, a bit reluctantly. Nora is finally looking up, looking at me, her eyes a bit red and watery from coughing so much. Elena, you need to get out of there. They're coming.

Bobo's voice suddenly reminds me I'm totally not supposed to be there. Crap...

How far, Bobo?

You got a minute or two. I got the guy, they'll catch up to you in no time to check on Nora. Nathaniel and Liam too. Just go, I'll cover for you.

I thank him silently and turn to Nora again to address her.

Don't worry, they'll be here soon. Bobo got him. Just catch your breath, your mate is coming. I gotta go.

Wait! Who are you?

Moon Goddess, I wish I could stay and tell her everything I know now... Even discuss with her this bond between us, figure out what it actually means! I have so many theories, it's driving me crazy. But I already hear the other wolves coming. Boyan's right, I have to go.

I can't stay, I'm not supposed to be here. Don't worry, I'll replace you again. Don't tell them you saw me. Especially not Nate.

I run away, after one last look at her. I swear, those eyes.... I've seen it all before.

I run between the docks, trying to evade both the Sea Moon Wolves and Nate's pack. It's not easy, but I finally manage to go back to the road Iris took to get here. I'm still in my wolf form, my fur is soaked with ice-cold water and I'm in the middle of nowhere, without even any clothes to change into...

Iris? Iris, please tell me you're still around.

Elena! Moon Goddess I was freaking out! Where are you?

She replaces me a few minutes later, and picks me up in her car. She sighs when I get on the backseat, still in my wolf form. Seeing how I'm soaked and actually soaking her car too, she puts on the heater full speed.

"Seriously, Elena, you just ran off and I had no idea what to do! Half the Blood Moon started running after you and that girl, I was shocked." Sorry, sorry...

"What's the deal, with that girl? Why are you interested in her?"

I'm not sure... I think we're somewhat... connected.

Iris frowns.

"Connected? Elena, you're always so complicated... Anyway, I'll take you home, okay? You'll die if you stay like that. How did you even get drenched!"

After that, we don't really talk for the rest of the trip. I'm exhausted anyway, and probably in the middle of getting sick too. Iris drives me home, where Danny is waiting for me after I mind linked him.

I get into the warm bath he got ready for me first, while he sits down next to the bathtub. Danny poured us some cold beers and listens while I tell him everything that happened today. When I finally get back to the present, he is frowning.

"The way I mind linked with her... Danny, I swear, I think I'm related to her somehow. It felt like... Well, like I guess it'd feel to connect with a sibling."

"Yeah... To be honest, the first time you mentioned it, I thought it might be that, but... You really don't look like each other?"

"Not really. She's got dark hair, white skin, sapphire blue eyes... And she's rather petite, too, while I'm tall as a giraffe. And to be honest, I didn't have time to really take a good look at her, there wasn't much time." "Thank Moon Goddess the Blood Moon didn't see you."

I nod while drinking a bit more beer. That's for sure... Danny sighs and puts his chin on the border of the bathtub, lost in his thoughts again.

"All right, let's admit you're from the same family... She might be a distant relative then. But you know, that means we could have another clue about your birth parents, starting from there. Do we know anything about her?"

"Well, that's another problem. We don't. According to Iris, the Blood Moon is already trying to dig more about her, but they don't have much. We know she lived in the Jade Moon Pack all this time, but it's clear she wasn't born there... Damn, I'll have to ask Eric if he founds anything else because with just a name we won't get there..."

"Her name?"

"Nora Bluemoon, I actually found out today, from Iris."

I wonder if I can ask Eric to call me if he replaces anything else again. Maybe he can give me the info without the Blood Moon knowing. It would be a bit risky for sure, but that's why we have cops among us too...

"Nora Bluemoon?" Suddenly repeats Danny.

I'm surprised, since he was silent for a while. I nod.

"Yes, Nora Bluemoon."

"Bluemoon?"

"Daniel, are you playing deaf or what?"

"Elena, what's your last name?"

I frown. Where is he going at?

"Whitewood?"

"Why?"

"Because our Clan is named the White Moon, and my Dad's family were the first to be established in this for..."

Oh, Moon Goddess. I suddenly understand what he was thinking. I stay speechless for a second, my mind going crazy with ideas and theories for a second. I look at Danny, my heart beating crazy. "Bluemoon," I repeat.

"Yup. A Blue moon," says Daniel.

"Like a Blue Moon Clan! Oh Moon Goddess, Daniel Lewis you're a f*****g genius!" I yell, running out of the bath.

"Thanks, but I already knew that and... Elena, you're n***d in the middle of the living room!!"

I don't care. I have to make a call right now!
