The Luna Queens Fight!

The Beginning

Mal POV

“Mom! Mom! Where are you?” I shout out as I race down the halls. The faint sounds of growls and fighting in the distance reach my ear no matter where I go. I had woken up to sirens blaring outside which only meant one thing… Rouges. Since I’m only 6 I don’t have my wolf yet. Where is my mother or Anita? All the doors on this level are open and no one is here.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sounds of fast footsteps coming towards me. My cousin Oliver comes skidding around the corner ahead of me. When he sees me, he runs towards me in panic.

“Mal! Come with me! Hurry!” Oliver says. Oliver is only 4 years older than me and will become my Beta when I come of age to take over. Our dads are brothers and we grew up together being more of siblings than cousins.

“Ollie, where are my parents? Where is Uncle Nick?” I ask scared.

“Dad is out leading the troops. I am taking you to your parents. They sent me to get you so it wouldn’t raise suspicions if the enemy is already here,” Ollie says to me as he drags me down the maze of halls. What does he mean by raising suspicions?

We get to a door that I recognize as Anita’s secondary room. Why are we here? Ollie opens the door and rushes us inside. He shuts the door and locks it. I see my parents standing by Anita talking in hushed tones and run over. For as long as I can remember, Anita has been my Nanny as well as my personal guard and is with me wherever I go.

“Daddy! What’s happening?” I ask as I hug him. My mom touches my head and I realize that she has been crying. “Mommy, what’s wrong?”

“Honey, we have to send you away.” Wait what? What does she mean they’re sending me away?

“No! Mommy, I don’t want to leave you and daddy!” I say as I hug her. Please let this be a dream.

My dad then kneels next to us and says “Little Star, we don’t want you to go but there are bad men that want to take you away from us. We need you to be safe. You are the future of the werewolf race and are our greatest treasure.”

“I don’t want to leave you and momma. I can fight alongside you. Please don’t send me away,” I cry.

Anita comes over with a cloak and masking spray in her hand. I realized that she also is wearing a cloak with a bag on her side. Oh my Goddess! This is really happening.

“We need you to go with Anita, Little Star. She will protect you and also be our contact with you until you get your wolf,” My father hugs me and so does Mom in a family group hug.

“Dad just linked me and said that a few slipped past him. We have to act fast!” Ollie says from the window. He walks to the wall on the other side of the room and opens a secret door.

“Come with me, princess. We have to go now!” Anita starts to pull me to the hidden door as Mom puts my cloak on me and sprays the masking spray. She then gives me a leather book as we get close to the passage.

“I love you both. I will be back and take revenge on the person doing this. I will become big and strong for you!” I tell my parents as I’m pulled into the passageway.

“We love you too little star. Stay safe and don’t give Anita any trouble. Remember you are our greatest treasure,” My dad says as the door shuts leaving Anita and I in the dark. Anita pulls out a flashlight and we start to run down the passageway.

We walk for about 30 minutes until we come to a door. Anita opens the door and we step out to a field that has a car parked in a tent that blends in. As we jump in the car Anita throws the bag in the back before getting in the driver's seat.

“Where are we going, Anita?” I ask as she speeds down a dirt road.

“We are going to a friend of mine that is an Alpha. He already knows to expect us. We will be safe there under his protection,” Anita tells me as she turns onto a paved road. As we get further and further away from my parents I feel a sense of loss and sadness. Why me? I’m nothing special other than the next in line for the throne. Only people in the kingdom knew of me but never actually had seen me. Then it hit me. They didn’t want to kidnap me to get money or anything else. They wanted me dead. I’m only 6!

Anita pulls out her phone and dials a number. The ringing comes out of the car speakers. My heart started to beat loudly as we waited for the other end to be picked up. After the fourth ring, a deep sleepy voice answered.

“Hello Anita! What is the matter?” The voice said, sounding half asleep.

“Fredrick! It happened tonight. We escaped with no issue but we still have the 8-hour drive to you that we have to conquer first,” Anita said. She was looking straight ahead and was frequently looking behind us.

“WHAT? Are you both okay? Do I need to send my warriors to meet you halfway?” Now Alpha Fredrick sounds wide awake.

“If you would like to, I'm not stopping you. Just make sure they follow at a distance so if anyone is following us, it doesn’t look suspicious,” Anita turns us onto a highway by the looks of it.

“Will do. Are you in the car we planned on using?” The Alpha asked.

“Yes we are,” Anita says. “Just as planned. We are also taking the secondary route because there seems to be a traitor in the castle. The only ones that know of this route are you, me, and Maverick. We are picking him up on the way.”

“Okay, Anita. My guys just left and they are in a black Denali. They will flash their lights twice like the humans do to warn of a cop. I already have a house set up for you all. Be careful and I’ll greet you when you get here,” Alpha Fredrick says. The call drops and it’s silent in the car once more. Maverick is Anita’s mate and is a warrior in the Royal Army.

“Anita, will I see my parents again?” I whispered, scared to know her answer. Please say yes, please say yes.

“Yes, Your Highness, you will get to see them again. However, you won’t get to until you are 18. Then you will be able to meet your mate and go back. If you don’t meet him, we will still be able to go back but it will have to be under the impression you are a distant relative wanting to join the Royal Army. But don’t worry my dear. I will be with you every step of the way,” Anita says, glancing over at me. 12 years is what I have to wait to get to see my parents again. This will be a long 12 years.

We drive for about 3 hours then stop for gas. As Anita fills the car up, I see Maverick walk out from the store. I quickly jump in the back so that the adults have the front. He walks to Anita and gives her a hug that you can tell, just by seeing it, he was happy she was okay. They get in the car and Maverick starts driving the rest of the way.

“Princess, I want to tell you how we have to be at Fredricks pack. His pack is called Silver Moon and he is the only one who knows who you are. The story we will go by is that you are our niece who came to live with us as a baby when your parents died in a Rogue attack. The reason for us moving to Silver Moon is our pack was attacked and we are the only survivors because we were on vacation. No one is to know who you really are. Okay, princess?” Maverick says from the front.

“Yes Maverick, I mean Uncle Maverick, I understand.” I lean back as I quietly go over it in my head.

An hour later we see the Denali that Alpha Fredrick sent and it gets behind us about 200 yards back. I decide to try to get some sleep until we get there. It doesn’t take long for me to fall asleep.

The next thing I know, I am being shaken awake by Anita. “Princess, we just passed the border of Silver Moon and will arrive in 10 minutes.”

I sit up and rub my eyes. We arrive in front of the pack house and I see a man standing at the door. He looks tall with brown hair and blue eyes.

“Welcome to Silver Moon. We are glad to have you here,” the man says. He gives me a slight bow when he looks at me. This must be Fredrick.

“Long time no see Fredrick. It’s good to see you under the unfortunate circumstances,” Anita says.

Not long after we are shown to our house. It is a single-story home with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It’s cute and reminds me of all the stories of the white picket fence dream that most girls have.

As I settle in my room, I think about my parents. Are they safe? I wish I could be back in their arms but I know I can’t just yet. This is going to be a long 12 years.
