“You have been told by the Alpha and Beta you are not welcome here.” Momma Beth is giving back as good as she gets. We turn into the kitchen and see Sarah, in all her flawless redheaded glory, standing in a shout off with Momma Beth.
“Sarah, what are you doing here?” Both women turn to look at us. Momma Beth lets off a squeal of delight and comes to hug me while Sarah starts screeching even louder.
“You marked her?! How could you do that? How could you do this to me?” I’ve got to hand it to her. She sounds like she’s truly upset. Fraction pinches his nose between his eyes and lets out a sigh.
“Yes, I marked my mate. Now what are you doing here? I thought you left to go be with Jeb?”
“He rejected me! He didn’t want an Alphas cast offs and he sent me back here! I come here and find you in bed with this child!” I feel my eyes widen.
“Excuse me but I’m not a child, I’m Fraction’s mate.” I say while holding Fractions hand.
“Puuuuurlease,” she drags the word out, “I can give him about a hundred things you can’t, little girl.” A loud growl follows her statement.
“That’s Luna to you!” Fraction is mad, I can feel Leo growling, it’s sending vibrations through his whole b*dy. “Now I suggest you leave the packhouse before I banish you from the pack completely.” I watch as Sarah flinches at this. If she was rejected by her mate and then banished from here that’s two packs she can’t go to and many of the others won’t take her on that fact alone. She quickly kneels and bows her head, “I’m sorry Alpha. Please forgive me.” She’s pleading for her space in the pack. Fraction looks at me, he’s silently asking if I can live with this wolf around.
“Sarah, please stand.” She bolts straight up and looks shocked it’s me addressing her and not Fraction. Fraction stands slightly back and allows me to stake my claim as Luna. “You will do as Fraction says. and not come back to the packhouse until you are summoned. I am the Alpha’s true mate and I will not allow any further disrespect,” I don’t know where the words are coming from, it’s like they are falling out of me. “I am sorry your mate rejected you, your pack will not reject you too.”
“Thank you Luna.” She offers a slight bow and leaves through the back door.
“Wow! Anna, where did that come from?” Momma Beth sounds. shocked. I turn to look at her.
“I have no idea.” Fraction walks over and k*sses my head.
“I think Winter had something to do with it. Your eyes were yellow the whole time.” I turn to face Fraction reaching up to feel my eyes.
“They were?” He nods and leads me to the kitchen table where I am just noticing bacon sandwiches are awaiting us.
Fraction and his mother are chatting about the Luna Ceremony, this will officially announce me as Luna to the pack and our allies. I block them out as I try to come to terms with Winter speaking through me. She has never done that before, if it wasn’t for Fraction I wouldn’t even realise that is what happened. I didn’t feel her take over, it didn’t feel like I was shoved to the back, it was almost like we were one person.
‘Winter?‘ I say to my wolf.
‘I’m here Anna‘
“Why did you say those things to Sarah?‘ I ask.
‘She had to be told. We are Luna and she needs to understand that. You did not have the words so I supplied them.‘ Winter says as if it explains why she just took over me.
‘Could you maybe give me a heads up next time?‘ I ask her.
‘If you wish.‘ Her tone is bored as if she doesn’t see why she has to consult me.
“Winter have anything interesting to say, little wolf?” Fraction interrupts our conversation.
“Just coming to an understanding.” I take a deep drink of my orange juice. “Can we talk about the females and when we are going to get them? And what about Max?”
“Slow down,” Fraction takes our dishes to the skin and comes to sit down, I realise Momma Beth is gone. “Max is coming to the Moon Gathering with us. I will challenge him in front of the Elders. We are going to get some of the other packs to help us and we are going to go. and get the females after the Moon Gathering.”
“Can’t we go before?” I hate that I am happy here and they are stuck there.
“We need more numbers, most if not all of the females are from packs. so I’m betting a lot of them will help us.”
“I understand I just wish we could go now, I’m worried for them. Eliza and Eve mostly but all of them too.” Fraction grabs my hand.
“We will get them Anna. All of them.” I believe him.
“When do we leave for the Moon Gathering?”
“This Friday morning and we should arrive around noon on Sunday.” I can’t help the look of disgust, that’s a lot of car time.

I begrudgingly leave Anna with my mother when James reaches through the mind link that we have visitors at the border. I jump in my SUV and travel to where James told me he and three warriors are waiting. As I pull up, I can see twelve wolves that don’t belong to the pack. I wait as James comes running over to the car, “Twelve all together, three pups, six females and three males. Say they are from The Whiteridge Pack and have come for protection.”
Interesting. Whiteridge is Callum’s pack, I walk over to the group, “which of you is the spokesperson?” A well–built male stands forward, he has wide shoulders, hair closely cropped to his head and has an aura about him that makes me think he’s a warrior if not THE warrior. “Alpha, my name is Dan. I am…sorry, was the Head Warrior for Alpha Callum of the Whiteridge Pack. We have travelled here having heard of your pack from many other wolves.” He has a strong accent, maybe notes of French bleeding through.
