His Blue Moon Princess
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 102

"So, you agreed?"

"Heck no, Nate! They threw this at me, I was not prepared! I just... I said I'd think about it."

He's watching me walk in circles inside his apartment, while he's carrying Estelle who fell asleep in his arms. I just can't calm down since I left the gathering. First, I'm still mad at Clark and the Lewis siblings for tricking me into this. Secondly, I'm still completely amazed that they even dared to come up with such an idea. And I thought I was the crazy one for suggesting a fusion between the Clans! Lastly, I'm supposed to be a pariah in that pack, and now I'm some sort of last-minute savior? "..It's a good idea, I think."

I immediately turn to him with a glare.

"Not you too!"

"Well, it does make sense," he continues. "Elena, you're not someone who can stand on the sidelines."

"Yes, but I was expecting to fight like any other wolf, not be some damn headlight for my former pack!"

He chuckles, walking to the sofa to sit down.

"As if you'd listen to anyone's orders, my Sunshine. Your Alpha... I mean, Clark is right. You can certainly do this, and you should."

I shake my head. No, no. Not when I had just found who I am, who I want to be. This is madness. The whole point of putting the events with Diego into the light was to have the Pack see the Blood Moon differently, not have Clark step down of his position to push it over to me!

I go to sit next to Nate on the sofa, suddenly tired from all that mess. He puts a hand on my knee, gently caressing me.

"Don't think too much for now. You don't have to answer them now, Elena. You just came back to your former pack, it's enough for today. We need to talk to Damian and Nora about your idea, too."

I nod, feeling a bit comforted by his words. He's right... I should take some time to consider it, see if I think I can shoulder this... I don't doubt Nora will agree to it, though. She's always been keen on making any differences between the packs, and she respects my opinion. I am not worried about my cousin-in-law, either, almost everything Nora says he'll agree with anyway. And Nate agreed it's a good idea too.

"...We should make plans," he suddenly says.

I look at him, a bit surprised. What is he talking about? Nathaniel smiles and kisses Estelle's temple, laying her on the couch next to him before turning to me and taking my hand.

"You, Estelle and I. I want us to have plans, for when this whole mess is other."

"Nate, I'm not sure this is..."

"I don't want to live as if we were going to die, Elena. I want to have something to look forward to."

"I am not marrying you," I assert with a growl.

He laughs it off, but I know he's still holding on to that stupid idea. Well, he can forget about it. I don't want to get married, and certainly not with him. That jerk is not reliable at all. Moreover, he already got more than he was supposed to from me. I am not indulging him again. Not before a few years. As Danny said, he should thrive a bit for all the s**t I went through.

"I'm talking about something else, Elena," he explains. "Like a trip, for example."

"A trip?"

That's probably the last thing I would have thought about at such a time, but Nate seems serious about it.

"We could go on a holiday, once this is all over. The three of us, somewhere far from Silver City. I want to see where Estelle was born and grew up in, too."

It does sound good... Something we should look forward too. I want to imagine us, after all this madness, having fun together, somewhere safe and warm. And visiting our old house again... If there's anything left of it. That damn witch probably found it... "To be honest, I miss the house a bit," I admit.

"How was it?"

I can't help but chuckle.

"When Sylviana took me there, it was just an old, abandoned house... But I liked it. It was all made of wood. It took us a while to clean it. Sylviana used her powers to sweep away all the dead leaves, replace the rotten wood and repel the plants that had started growing in or on it. I'm glad witches are so good at cleaning, but still, just the dust and dirt took ages to get rid of, since it was f*****g big. But it was worth it. The kind of old family house that has its own charms you uncover little by little... With large windows, a terrace, a big kitchen, a big bathroom... Ah, I really miss that place."

I can't help but smile, just thinking about it. Those four years there were really peaceful, just me and my daughter. Every day going by slowly, taking care of the house, hunting our food and even growing vegetables in the little garden Sylviana made for us. There was a human village a few miles away, but we only made the trip once in a while. Whether they knew or their instincts sensed that we were werewolves, we were not welcome there. I just bought the groceries and went back as soon as I was done. Just my daughter and I. Estelle played with me, or the pets she befriended, like the little rabbits she found and adopted, her bunnies. Maybe she can get to school in September... It would be good if she made some human friends.

Will we still be there in September? It's only a few weeks away, but it feels so far away. I turn to Nate.

"So, a trip?"

He nods.

"Yeah, wherever you want. Just the three of us. We could even search for it... You know, the Blue Moon Clan."

I stay speechless for a while. I had never thought about it. Going back to my roots, replaceing more about wherever Nora and I came from if there's anything left. Nathaniel is right, with the Witch gone, we would be free to go and look for clues about our parents. We know so little about them... It feels like I never had time to stop and think about it, but it did cross my mind a few times. I could ask Nora about it, and even our long-lost cousin William...

"Maybe," I sigh. "Did Nora ever mention it?"

"Yes," he nods. "To Damian, at least. She's very curious about her mother... About Queen Diane too."

Nora is probably more at a loss than I am. After all, I was brought up by Reagan and adopted soon after by loving parents. My attachment to the White Moon is legitimate, as they retain so much of my childhood.

Nora is different. Her parents disappeared when she was a child, and though she was taken in by another pack, she never really felt any family love from them or even from her half-brother... Even if she had a family of her own now, she's probably the most curious

one.

"I see," I simply reply.

Nathaniel smiles and leans in to give me a long kiss. It's a bit unexpected but it's nice, as always... Well, not just nice. He caresses my arm too, in a gentle way. Though, with Stella next to us, we can't push it too far. We play nice and simply exchange a long, hot kiss, warming up our lips and chuckling like teenagers in love.

After a while, we part, each a smile on our lips.

"You have no idea how much I missed you," he whispers with a sigh.

I push him away with my feet. You damn i***t.

A few hours later, our baby girl woke up, and we are at Nora's place, talking about my plan to fusion all the Clans after a nice dinner. No one is really interested in the desserts, they are all ears wide open and chocked by my words. All three Black brothers are there, plus Boyan and his siblings, as well as Isaac and Danny. Neal's wife is watching all the kids in the playroom next door. Only Sylviana refused to come, apparently, she's busy, but this is the werewolf matters anyway.

"So, the White Moon would agree to a fusion with the Blood Moon?" Asks Tonia, doubtful.

"I convinced them."

"What Elena doesn't say is that they want her to lead them," adds Nathaniel.

I roll my eyes. He didn't need to mention that part yet, but whatever. Nora's eyes are already full of excitement.

"Elena, this is awesome!" She exclaims.

"Really? I just told you they want to follow me into this crazy war, Nora. Me, of all people. I didn't think..."

But I stop talking as, around the table, none of them seems very surprised. Really? Nora glances at her husband, who starts talking.

"Actually, we have been in close... talks with the Sapphire Moon and a few others, recently," says Damian. "Elena, if the White Moon Clan agrees to it too... We could have almost all of the werewolves Clans of Silver City in."

I'm speechless. Already? How long have they been preparing for this? Nora blushes a bit, seeing my reaction.

"We actually had the same idea as you, so we started talking to the other alphas those past few weeks, but it's nothing new, Elena. William insisted that I got registered under the Sapphire Moon, and as of now, he has made me his successor... since Damian and I are mates, the two packs are already... aligned."

"I thought William Blue had a daughter?" I ask, confused.

"He does, but he doesn't want her to take over the Sapphire Moon Clan. Rose will be the Luna for the Pearl Moon Clan, her mother's pack."

All the maths between the Sapphire, Pearl and Black Moon relationships are way too complicated for me. However, I understand that Nora can basically become the Sapphire Moon's Luna anytime now, and through Damian, she is already the Blood Moon's Luna. The two biggest packs of Silver City and the next biggest and wealthiest one is the White Moon.

"What about the others? The Violet Moon, the Sea Moon wolves?"

This time, it's with Tonia that Nora exchanges a look. Right, now Boyan's sister is going out with the Violet Moon Alpha, Lyssandra Jones. It probably helped...

"Lissandra and Arthur are still reticent," she says, "but I'm pretty sure we can have them agree to a temporary fusion. After the war, they want their packs back, but they are fine with submitting to Damian and me until it's over. Same thing for the Red Moon."

Or whatever's left of them... Black should have banished those traitors four years ago when they turned on us for the Gold Moon Clan. I'm trying to count, but those are all the main Clans of Silver City. If the deal is done, Damian and Nora will be Alpha and Luna of ninety-percent of the Silver City werewolf population. This is insane...

I'm getting the chills. This is really to be an all-out f*****g war.

"Our only missing piece was the White Moon Clan, Elena," says Damian. "We couldn't talk to them until now, but if you agree to their terms..."

"I'll be a bridge between Nora and them. You want me to be the bridge between you and the White Moon, I get it, "I sigh. "So it all comes to this."

"I wasn't sure you could convince them, and I wasn't sure they would listen to you, so I was afraid it was too soon to tell you," admits Nora, a bit fidgety.

"Well, for once I was faster, I guess."

I stand up, pacing out again to think. Nate grabs my hand to stop me, pulling me to him.

"Elena, you can think about it a bit longer. It all happened today, but Sylviana said we have weeks."

I gently smile to my man and bow down for a quick peck on his lips. I turn to Nora, feeling a bit braver.

"Nora, there's something I have been thinking about for a while. With your power, do you think we could... officialize our relationship. When I talk to my pack, most of them were doubtful about my origins. If we had a way to make it official."

"If this is about you having a bond with the Blood Moon Clan, my Sunshine, I'm pretty sure marrying me would..."

"Nathaniel Black, the answer is still no. And Nora is the one I need a bond with."

"Hey! Nate would be a bad husband, but I would make an awesome brother in law, Elena" says Liam with a cheeky smile.

"Thanks for the support, Liam..." Growls Nate.

Everyone laughs, breaking a bit of the heavy atmosphere that was floating around until just a moment ago. Nathaniel rolls his eyes and pulls me onto his lap. Nora smiles across the table.

"What did you have in mind, then?

"You know... Just putting our family tree into the City records, things like that. And I want o take my real name, too.

She opens her mouth a bit, surprised.

"Elena Blue Moon?"

"No... I don't want to completely omit the White Moon part in me. From now on, I want to be Selena Whitewood, with my relationship to you known. I think this is how I will replace a middle between my two identities. I... I think this is what I would like better." Nora nods, looking a bit emotional.

"I did almost the same," she says. "I registered as Eleanora Bluemoon, though everyone still knows me as Nora..."

"Reagan is the one who saved Selena. She held on to my name for years, I think it's time I take it back."

"Damn, now you sound like a Royal," says Liam.

"I don't hear a Royal, I hear a warrior. You know what, Selena, I have been hearing about you being the best fighter for a while now, I want to see that."

I turn to Tonia, surprised. But then, I remember, that woman is the one who trained Nora and Boyan's sister. Moreover, she is the number two in the Violet Moon Clan, known for its fierce fighters. She is already standing up, with a grin and a bit of a fire in her eyes, excited.

"Tonia..." Says Nate with a frown, but I stop him, turning to her.

"Is this a challenge?" I ask.

Let's be honest, Tonia managed to woke up the wolf in me. Seeing a challenger, she just wants to go. Easy girl, we are just done healing a few hours ago...
