Eternal Luna

I always knew I was destined for great things in my life. When I was born, my mother died.

My father was the beta of our pack, and he raised my brother Rocco and me.

My father always told me how similar I was to my mother, with unique beauty. My white hair almost silver and curly, my gray eyes like fog, unique in all its splendor like my mother.

Since I was seven years old, my father trained me, and he saw the great potential and strength I had. When I turned 14 years old, I became one of our Red RIver Pack’s best warriors. For that reason, my father received many proposals from different alphas to take me as his Luna and chosen Mate, but my father never gave in.

Due to my young age and the dangers I would face, he promised me that only I could decide to wait for my mate or choose one.

But everything changed when a proposal came from one of the most potent packs.

Dario , the eldest son of Alpha Contti, was five years older than me. My father firmly refused and decided to send me away to protect me with my uncle Rolando to River Blue Pack.

Where I would stay until my 18 birthday, only then could I return to my family.

Time took its course, four years have passed, and my 23-year-old brother Rocco has inherited beta’s title from my father. He is now the second in command of Alpha Leonardo, the son of our previous Alpha Leandro and Luna Beatrice.

The time has come to fulfill my destiny and choose my future.

Today is my last training with my uncle Rocco. After four years, I have already perfected my fighting technique. My speed is superior to a regular werewolf, I still can’t beat an alpha, but I can give him a hell of a fight.

“Aurora! Concentrate it’s your last training. I won’t let my guard down just as a parting gift, princess,” shouted my uncle Rolando with a commanding voice.

“I didn’t expect less from your uncle, always expecting the highest from me,” I told him. At the same time, I turned to the right and slapped him right in the chest, taking the air out of his lungs, but he only moved a little without wincing in pain.

“That’s all the strength you have, don’t hold back. You’ve hit me harder than that. Use your speed”.

“! It’s not in my nature to restrain myself, but you asked for it!” I thought I threw several punches to his face and chest, using his knee as a support. I jumped on him, turning and wrapping my arms around his neck to force him to submit.

But in one swift movement, he grabbed my elbows and pulled me to the ground, placing one knee on my abdomen.

“Excellent work Aurora, your speed and strength have improved over the years, and you are ready to be Luna or even Alpha of any pack.”

“You’re serious, Uncle,” I said excitedly, “But I don’t intend to be submitted to by anyone, let alone be the Luna of an oppressive, possessive wolf. It’s not my nature.”

I felt proud of the hard work and dedication with which I had trained these four years away from my family, and it had been worth it. I would return stronger than ever.

“I will miss you, uncle Rolando, but I think the time has come to return,” I said, sighing.

“I will miss you, my little one, but I think there is nothing I can teach you, you are the daughter of a lineage of the strongest Betas, and your aura reflects it. I am proud of you”.

“Thank you, uncle. Remember you promised to visit me.”

“of course, as soon as an opportunity arises, I will come to see you. Remember, I will always be there when you need me.”

I was packing my things and looking for the last time at my bedroom, the balcony where I sat reading a book under the moonlight during the night.

“I will miss all this,” I thought as I looked for the last time at the house that was my home for all these years.

I put the suitcases in the trunk of my car, opened the door, and programmed the music I would listen to on the way home.

After an hour, I could see far away from the clan’s main house; my parents no longer live there, neither Alpha Leandro and Luna Beatrice; they have their homes very close. Still, only the young people live here, the new alpha and my brother, who has prepared a room for me.

“My princess! Finally you are here. Let me see you and give you a hug”.

“Dad, I missed you so much,” I said as I hugged him.

“Aurora, I can’t believe it, you are finally back, you remember me,” said a young girl with red hair and green eyes. As I saw her, I tried to remember who she was, and the image of a girl with unruly curls went through my mind.

“Georgia?” I said, surprised.

“Aurora, I missed you so much. I hope you don’t go away anymore. I feel so lonely surrounded by fools here,” she said smiling.

“Georgia, I can’t believe it, it’s you. What a joy to see you,” I said, excited too.

“Welcome, Aurora,” said Alpha Leandro.

“Thank you, Alpha Leandro. I’m happy to be back”.

“Call me uncle Leandro. Leave aside the formalities we are family”.

“by god, let me see you; you are the spitting image of my dear friend Ania, welcome.”

“thank you, aunt Beatrice. I missed you too.”

“and where is Rocco,” I said enthusiastically.

“Waiting for you since half an hour ago, you took too long, welcome Aurora,” said Rocco running to me and lifting me from the floor with a tight hug.

“wow, careful that no one told you that steroids are dangerous. I think you are a giant and not a werewolf,” I said excitedly.

“I told him the same thing, but I think his brain cells are already affected,” said Georgia teasing Rocco.

While Georgia is smiling, I could see how my brother didn’t take his eyes off her, which seemed strange to me. I didn’t remember my brother seeing any woman that way and less Georgia.

“that’s the best compliment I’ve ever heard, and you’re no slouch, Aurora; you’re not a girl anymore, which reminds me I’ll have to castrate more than one for getting close to you.”

“Don’t worry, Rocco, I can defend myself,” she said, raising her eyebrow as a sign that she wouldn’t need it.

“I don’t doubt it, princess; if your skills have improved since you left, I will enjoy seeing more than one fly off in training,” said Rocco pleased.

“Rocco takes your sister to her room, and I will go to the kitchen to see that everything is ready for dinner,” mentioned Luna Beatrice.

“I’ll go with you; we have a lot to talk about,” said Georgia.

“What's new Georgia, have you found your mate yet?" I asked her.

"Not yet, but in a week, I'll be 18, and I'm sure I'll find him; I have some suspicions, but I don't want to rush," she said, whispering in my ear.

"Suspicions is that possible," I thought.

"What about you Rocco, have you found your mate yet?" I asked my brother.

"Not yet, I'm just waiting for the right time, soon she will arrive, and when that happens, I won't separate from her for a single moment," said Rocco looking at Georgia.

Something is going on between them, and I will find out later.

"And your sister is already 18, aren't you excited to find out who it will be," said Rocco.

"What makes you think I'm expecting it? I don't need anyone I can handle myself," I said with an air of superiority.

"I expected nothing less from you princess, by the way, my room is in the west wing. They are still repairing your room, so temporarily, you will be in the east wing on the second floor, below Leonardo's room," said my brother.

"I don't think it is appropriate for me to be in our alpha's wing and alone on the second floor. Don't you think he would see it as disrespectful? What will our future moon say?" said I said, confused.

"Leonardo hasn't found our moon yet, and I doubt he will soon; he is focused on his Alpha duties, and what he is least concerned about right now is finding her," Rocco said with a sarcastic smile.

"So he's still the same as always a stupid smug know-it-all, and where is he? I haven't seen him?" I said, hoping I wouldn't run into him any time soon.

"On a business trip out of town, he should be back tomorrow."

"Practice starts at 6 am. I hope to see you in the front row without exception," he said thoughtfully.

After resting for a few hours and having dinner, I decided to sleep in and be ready very early to start my first training.
