Beasts- Chapter five- Wolves

Luna stood in the doorway as Killen showered. He grew annoyed as she stood there her arms crossed over her chest, “What?”

“You are going to just let the wolven princess move on with a Minotaur as her lover?”

“What would you have me do Luna?” He reached down and turned the water off pushing the glass door open to step out. “She has done as you and given up her old life.”

“But you accepted that she let him name her.”

“Yes, remember it was I who named you.” he said as he moved his towel over his fur drying himself, “Though betrothed to the prince you accepted the name I gave you and you became my mate. Knowing that had you told me of your betrothed I’d have no claimed you.”

“You wouldn’t have?”

“No, as it is I will have to pay for what I did without my knowledge.” he stated as he tossed his towel in to the hamper.

“I should have told you before…”

Killen moved toward her, “Yes you should have.” his hand tipped up her muzzle to look him in the eyes, “You are still young Luna. What and who you where before you became mine matters not.” he touched his nose to hers, “You are my mate, I have no regrets in taking you as such.” He knew his eyes where glowing as he looked down at her. her white fur was tinted blue. “Upon the full moon that approaches you and I shall go on our first hunt together.” he told her. “Something we should have done on our first full moon as mates.”

A smile moved along Luna’s lips. She had always wanted to go hunting with her mate. even as a child when her mother and father would go on their yearly hunt she had always thought about what it would be like to go with her own mate.

When the morning sun broke the horizon Luna sent the servents out to the barn with a meal for Brick and Clara. “Our Alpha has requested they leave before mid day.” she told the head servent.

“Yes Mistress.” The servent relayed the message when he took them their meal. He placed a bag of dried meats next to the tray of food as well. “From the Mistress.”

Clara opened the bag as the servant left.

“What is it?”

“Just some dried meats for the travel.” she said closing it and putting it in her satchel.

“That is kind of the Alpha mate.” He said as he ate his portion of the meal.

Clara nodded and began to eat as well, “You said 2 more days?”

“Yes, Now that you have eaten properly we will continue once done here.” He set the bowl of porage down, “Clara, are you truly sure of this?”

“I told you the Alpha here has stated I am not of wolven kind any longer.” her fingers set down the bone she was eating meats from, “Does it disgust you? that I eat meats?”

“I do not say disgust is the right word.” he told her. “More it is unsettling.”

After they finished eating Clara let Brick lead her out of the barn. Luna stood beside the barn speaking to a servant.

“Hurry along as much as you are able to with the west field, the east is nearing completion for the season.”

“Yes Mistress.” The servant turned, “Mistress, what of the wounded from last night?”

“Our Alpha has sent those he could to the local hospitals, the humans so far are honoring their word. but keep everyone mindful, we do not wish for more injured and press our luck with the humans.”

“Of course ma’am.”

Luna turned as Brick approached her, “Our Alpha had to leave early to meet with another pack. He has asked if there is anything else you are in need of before you continue on.”

Brick shook his head, “No. we will continue on. I again thank your pack for assisting my companion.”

Luna nodded, “Then our pack wishes your safe return to your lands.” she turned to head toward her own home when Clara called out to her.
