Beautiful Moonlight

[Stella Mari De Souza]

I watched as he got comfortable, my own self now sitting on the ground, which for some reason I loved to do. ''Well before I found out what I was, I always dreamed of growing old, getting married, having a family. You know having grey hair with my grandchildren running around. Now I will never go to the next life.''. I sighed and started to fiddle again with my skirt, wondering what I would do with my life. I looked back up at him though and wondered how I would be come an official member. ''So what do I do to become officially part of this lovely family?''. I stood and twirled, a huge smile on my face, I was so exited to be here, to live here, hunt, and became a Mizuki Pack member.

Kenyon cocked his head. "Well, you can still be a grandmother, and silver hair dye will do just as well, as for an afterlife, well," He shrugged again, arms coming down to dig into the sand beside him. "I've never really believed in it." Then he smiled, and raised his hand to rest on his face, index finger pointing to his navey tattoo. "You have to become part of my tattoo. It will link me to you, and you to me. At one time, it linked the general to his warriors. Now, it links an alpha to his pack," He said. His tattoo didn't hold it's old splendor, but it soon would, with him gathering new members.

I giggled at the dye part, that some how made my day, but some how she was shocked, not enough to show it though, that he did not believe in it. ''Well I would never dy my hair, never again i mean. But Yes I guess I could be a grandmother, but i never really think anyone wants to be my mate''. I once more frowned, never once has a guy even looked at me but i shook it of.

I smiled back, sweetly of course, ''Wow, those are special, and beautiful. But how do we earn them Kenyon?''. Stella was jumpy with the excitement of getting a tattoo, or at least becoming a part of the pack. She wondered what rank she would be and how exactly this pack worked. She had no idea if she would be allowed to go back to town and buy a small apartment, eat her favorite human food, visit her family. Or was it all pack?

The silver-haired teenager smiled at her eagerness, she must have had a bad human life. "Well, In a short, elementary version, you get to choose a tatto pattern, then we have to do the exchange. Your tatto is made out of my blood and tears mixed with special ink, and my tattoo is renewed with your blood and tears with the special ink. It makes a connection between us, I feel your emotions and you feel mine. As well as that, it enables us to speak to one another in our thoughts. It helps with the pack rule, no secrets. At least kept from Alpha," He said, folding his hands behind his head and leaning against the tree once more. At one time, it linked a General to his Warriors. Now, it linked an alpha to his pack.His eyes gistened in the firelight as he asked her, "So, if there's anything you need to get out on the table now, shoot."

I made a small disgusted face, it sounded painful, well the part you had to get your blood. But I sighed and nodded. ''I understand.. But something i fell.. um..''. I started to pace, I few question in my mind, questions a few of us would want answered. So i stalked up really close to him, may face only inches from his and started blurting out everything that was in my mind, no matter how embarrassing and red my face would get.

''What if I was molested by my own father, and still have memories of that? What about when you go to the washroom? Have ... a relationship, you know sex? what about privacy, showers, changing clothe as a human? etc etc?''. I was redder than ever by the end, my hands on my hips. I truly wanted them answered, because I was curious. My vivid green eyes ran over his face, I was sure I was ready fro these tattoos, I was ready.

Kenyon blushed red, why did she have to ask all the embarassing questions? "It doesn't really work that way. I can only read your emotions, and I can only hear your thoughts if you direct them to me," He said, still red. He may be a teenager, but he wouldn't look at a girl in that situation. Partly because of his royal blood, and partly beacuse he was no human, and only humans partook in the vile sins of that sort. He shuffled, and watched a scorpian scuttle across the sand, looking for crikets that crawled out of the caves at night. "Anything else?"

[Stella Mari De Souza]

I step back, my face redder then it has ever been in my life. With one deep sigh I cross my hands, feeling a bit uncomfortable. But look back, I wanted to be part of the pack really bad, my vivid green eyes still gave away how embarrassed I was, but now also showed excitement. ''So when and where can we do this?''. I was pacing again, wondering if this would hurt. I was still wondering if i would be able to control my thoughts too. But for now I wanted to be loyal to this pack, serve it. Have a family, at some point. And maybe even die happily, if it ever happens. ''Please.. tell me if it will hurt?''.

Shifting back to wolf and streaching out in full length, Kenyon layed his chin on his paws, watching the flames lick at the sky. He sighed, the contenued, he was feeling sleepy after a poor hunt that day. "We will go to Kaily City tomorrow, only Snake has the kind of ink we need. And yes, it will hurt, but in time you will know worse pains. I wish we didn't have to, but the life of a shifter is hard, even for those who pose as humans. We will clash with the other pack, we will suffer injuries from prey... I will not lie to you, this path is not easy. I just feel it's best to warn you in case this is not the life you want. But things are not all bad. There's the sense of family, everyone that is always there for you. Theres the scent of desert flowers on the breeze, there's the carefree laughing of pups, and the satisfaction of bringing down your first prey. Things are hard, yes, but things are also good," He said, smiling to himself. Yes, this life was hard, but he wouldn't trade it for the world, never would, never will. His silvery plume waved, and he watched a scorpion skitter across the sand.

[Stella Mari De Souza]

Smiling I half shift, not sure if i wanted to be human or wolf now.. why not be both. ''I will live with this pack for the rest of my days'', I stood then and lid on the soft sand, I was comfortable and just wanted to think in this wonderful new life I would have. Sighing I closed my eyes, with one last question before I dozed of. ''What I where to tell you.... My sister was the rival Shifter pack.''

Kenyon's head snapped up at the mention of the other pack. "What?!" He growled, red eye swirling as if it where made from teh blood of the many creatures he had felled in his time as General. His pelt prickled, fur standing on end, and he began to pace. Is it safe to keep her here? I can't let her leave.. she knows the location of the Oasis. She could have valuable information... But she could be a spy, and then I could have my back stabbed in the night... He growled as he stopped pacing, staring down to the sand. Then, once he was sure his temper was under control, he looked back up to Stella. "Then why are you here? You're a smart girl, you can guess what I believe when you come looking for a family when your sister leads another," He said, all buissness. The carefree boy that was there a few minute ago was now gone, replaced by the protective Alpha.

[Stella Mari De Souza]

I looked up, felling a little scared, but i sighed and shook my head. ''No. She would never let me join it for one thing. Plus we hate each other. Cindy was always the perfect child, but for some reason she made my child hood a living hell. So I left as soon as I found my new powers, trying to find a family that would accepted me for me''. I truly hopped he would believe me, because all was true, even my brother didn't like Cindy, though he was not a shifter. I sat up and looked at my pacing alpha, his wolf forum a bit scary. My vivid green eyes begged for forgiveness, I truly wanted this to be my home, the place where i would one day be a mother.

The silvery alpha growled lowly, how he hated to do this. "Fine. I'll trust you, for now. But let it be known that I do not take treason well," He said, anger leaving his form and the nobility returned. He turned and waled to his den, a small opening hidden at the base of a large rock. It let in alot of light during the day, at night you could even glimpse the moon. He layed in the entrance, partly hidden from the wite fae's veiw. "You can stay in any den for now, just watch out for snakes and scorpions. And Don't wander off. The caves are far and deep."

[Stella Mari De Souza]

I looked at him with wide eyes, ''I will always be loyal to my Alpha''. I sighed and shifted once more, this time to my full wolf forum, I curled up and gave him a small smile. ''I will stay out here tonight''. Yawning my white wings stretched, I was tired, happy and sad. All I wanted was a family that would accept me but some how, it seemed the alpha could not thrust me.

So I just closed my eyes, hoping happiness could come.
