Spirit Wolf - My Home (Book Two)

"I don't want to go back," I whined like a child. I really did like the time we spent on the island and knowing that after we return to our grey life, actually currently completely white and freezing I did not want to go. As you all know my name is Rei, currently eighteen with the waist-kong silver hair and golden eyes, particularly short, just something about one hundred sixty centimeters tall and mated to my lovely and amazing Alpha mate Calen from the Red Moon pack. There is nothing special about me except the fact that my wolf is a mystic Spirit Wolf believed to be a myth. Well, here we are, during the Full moon her fur is glowing silvery and during the New moon, the fur is translucent and almost pitch black so we are kind of invisible. After my birthday when Maat, my wolf matured I learned that the ability to read auras and emotions was increased and on top of that I can feel the emotions of others which kind of gives me the ability to tell if they are lying to me or not. My mate Calen is a little overprotective at this moment but given the fact that I was cut off from my wolf and dumped into the pitch-black pit somewhere in the cave under the mountain, I can't blame him. I was thinking back there that I will die. "I know that you love it here but I have a pack to run and that lovely mark on the crook of your neck is telling me that you are Luna of the same pack," Calen told me with a smirk on his face. I knew he was waiting for the moment to place the mark on me so everyone will recognize me as his mate and his scent will be around me as a memento for anybody who would like to try to claim me. "But you have to promise me we will come back here. I want to dive again." I cried like a baby. It was the first time I went to the sea, and the first time I was on a boat like this, for the first time I was diving several meters under the crystal clear water and saw the most mesmerizing animals living down there. "I promise I will take you here the first moment I can," Calen told me but it didn't make me happy. I know if he said it like that it meant he will take me one day, but that could mean next year or maybe after ten years. "When?" I told him. I wasn't completely sure if I am enjoying being annoying while behaving like a child but I didn't care. I wanted a real promise with some vision of the future. I wanted to know when exactly I will have to dive again and breathe this amazingly fresh salty air. "Princess, " Calen started to talk while taking a few steps towards me and taking me in his arms holding me under my butt. "I swear if I could take you and stay here forever I would, but we still have some duties in the home. We need to deal with Ismail after what he did to you. We need to find out with whom he was working and we need to make sure our people are safe." Calen told me with a serious face holding me up and hiding his face in my chest. "I know," I admitted defeatedly. He was right. I am in the pack for the past several months but I have already found a family there. I have my best friends Tamara and Emily who are like sisters to me. I have Calen's aunt Hannah who is like a mother to me and I have Zack, Andrew, and Rowan as my friends, and on top of that my lovely Calen who is Alpha of the pack so yeah, I knew no matter what I could not just leave them there. "We can come next time with Emily and Tamara and their mates," I told Calen and pulled his head back to look up at me with a smile. "That's my girl." He said happily that I was finally ready to leave. "Next time we will come all together. I promise." He told me. I narrowed my lips into a thin line softly biting the lower lips before I nodded. He placed me down on the ground and took our luggage back to the plane. I tried to avoid the thoughts of everything he said we need to do back in the pack. I knew he already used the drug I made to break the bond between the wolf and the human behind my back and that Emily runs the tests to make sure the dose was correct so they would not kill him. I was still having doubts about this punishment but I knew the other option for him was death. But if the drug worked now I could use him as my test subject trying to reverse the damage. I knew the damage till now could be reversed only with unmated wolves since during the mating process the wolves are mixing and the wolf of the mate taking slightly over so the mating wolf could heal the damaged neural link and open the path for the other wolf but it was just the theory and since Ismail's mate died during the attack several years ago I could not prove it and I was not ready to use the drug on someone else. "Are you ready?" Calen asked me to break the like of my thoughts and pull me back into the real world. I looked at him with a sad face and for that time I looked to the horizon to enjoy the view of the waves crashing on the sandy beach. "I could never be ready to leave this place," I told him with the sadness inside my words but I collected my stuff and was following him to the jet that was supposed to take us back to our real life. "Goodbye my dream," I said as a last goodbye before I stepped on board of the place and the door closed after us. "I swear you are so dramatic." Calen joked with me once we were seated in our seats and the jet was taking the speed. I watched from the window until we were too high above the clouds. I still could not forget the last weeks in our pack before Calen took me on this trip. Since my birthday I had problems with my senses because Maat mated and every single sense had to be adjusted which caused me pain, dizziness, severe fatigue with a strong headache. Ismail was able to take over me and abduct me because of my weakened state. He didn't know that I was in this condition or at least he was not supposed to know since no one knew where my birthday was yet he managed to choose the perfect timing for his plan to get rid of me without making his hands dirty. Without the drug he used on me, I would believe he was just lucky with the timing or he was hoping that I am not strong enough to fight him but because of that I knew the same as Calen that he was working with someone or for someone. It bothered me because it made me feel that whoever was behind it doesn't want me dead. I knew Ismail wanted me dead but he would kill me, I was sure about that yet he just dumped me inside the cave system, and on top of that not naturally made. "What are you thinking about princesses?" Calen asked me when I was still staring from the window. It broke the flow of my thoughts once again and I turned to him. "I was thinking about the whole abduction. He blocked the connection between me and my wolf and dumped me in that pit. I saw his face before, he wanted me dead and he wanted to be sure I was dead. He would not dump me in the cave like this. The chance to escape was not big but it was not zero either. He would make sure I was dead." I explained to Calen what was bothering me. "What do you suggest or what do you mean?" He asked me, confused. " I think he dropped me there because someone told him to and maybe that someone wanted to pick me up later," I told him, still thinking about the whole situation. "Just think about it. If someone would want to take me for sure he would have your whole pack on his tail but if you think I was left to die somewhere inside the cave system I could be anywhere and you would not know." I told him and he was thinking about that. "I would still know you are alive because of our mate bond." He told me. I forgot about that. The mate bond is severed once one of the mates dies but until we are alive, mated or not we still feel deep inside the mate is somewhere out there. "But there might be truth to what you said too. It would be way harder for me to search for you if I would have no clues about who took you." Calen told with a worried look. "Let's not think about this princess." He said in the end standing up from his chair and lifting me into his arms so he could sit in my chair with me on his lap. He placed his head on the crook of my neck where he placed the mark and I could feel the electricity going through my body exactly from that spot. His breath was hot and steady and I knew he was just taking in my scent to calm his nerves. I knew he had to go through his hell while searching for me and the thought of not finding me had to cross his mind too. The fact that I started to talk about it had to remind him of those feelings and thoughts and I simply let him keep me in his hugs and take in my scent. We were safe for now and together and that was the only thing that mattered to me.
