This is not good. This is definitely not good. I’ve been warned by the warriors, and I immediately made sure that Bonnie and Eve were safe. They’re hiding in one of the houses in the village. Joshua is with them too. He’s still recovering from the long day. Together with a few warriors, I’m the only one here at the moment.

Our packhouse lays relatively close to the East and Northern border. Around a hundred years ago, our pack-land was larger. But we’ve lost some, due to our shrinking pack and issues in the past. For now, with this war, it’s not safe anymore. I know that the first place the enemy will look for us, for them, is in the packhouse. Normally it’s one of the safest places, it’s built in a way that fire is slowed and with thick walls, it’s sound and ‘bullet-’ proof as well.

I sigh. I’ve asked my warriors to not attack. We’ll just wait. We have to create as much time as we can. Adam’s still not here, and nobody can reach him. I’m really starting to worry right now.

A lot has happened the last few months. James, who tried to take over and, with the help of a mage, escaped. Bonnie and I tried to find him, to track him down. But the house that Bonnie and James lived in in the past, was still abandoned which means that James' location is still unknown. Then we have Crissie, who’s struggling to find herself and it seems like the power was getting too big for her. She hurt Joshua, her mate, and disappeared. Nobody knows where she is. Bonnie can’t find her, either. Bonnie has tried, with her vision, to find her color. But she’s unable to find Crissie’s color. Joshua is sick of her loss, almost if she’s dead already. But we're not sure. I know the feeling, I’ve lost my mate too. I’ve searched for him, so many years. I knew he wasn’t dead, but I couldn’t find him. I couldn’t let him go, either. I sigh.

We also have ‘the enemies’. We still don’t know who they exactly are, but there are a few that I consider as the enemy. James, who tried to take over the pack, was working together with the hunters. Adam killed Cliff, the main-hunter. But I’m sure there were more. His father, Mike, is still alive and James warned us that he knows more than Cliff did. The Blue Oasis pack and our pack were never on good terms. But we had a sort of friendly silence. We just never talked or interfered with one another. At the attack, we find out that the Blue Oasis are descendants of hunters. That’s probably the main reason we didn’t like them in the beginning. Things just felt weird, for good reason. Plus: we don't know what hunters do, besides having the exact tools to make us weak and suffer. They're using it wisely too, they never let us, the wolves, get close to them. They probably know that we can beat them easily in an one-to-one fight.

Of course, there is the Shadow Pack. They’re lungering for powers too. Together with some help, they’ve created a monster. He’s called Ted, and if I understood Eve well, he’s a monster. They’ve managed to find out how to keep the bloodlines pure, with different species. That’s why Ted has multiple powers, but I’m sure none of them can be completely pure and I bet the powers are all just pieces of the original ones.

And then Ethan, my love. I’ve found my mate after all those years. But not in a way I liked. Aura felt that his wolf is gone, which means that he’s only human at this point. I thought he recognized me in some way, but it felt weird. He’s not Ethan anymore, but I still don’t know what to think. He and his army are powerful, they’ve shown us forces I haven’t seen before. Is he working together with somebody? He mentioned a person, someone who sent him. Who is that?

It’s chaos, true chaos. I’m not sure who we are fighting, at this point. And I’m not sure how to fight them too. I’m glad that Eve managed to persuade the South, they have numbers. They’re on their way, they should be here around an hour or so. Luckily it’s faster when they shift and run shapeshifted, than go by car. A win-win situation: they have a warming up before the fight starts.

But Adam, he and Marcus are still not here. Joshua is wounded, so right now we have two ladies in charge: Bonnie, the ‘back-up Beta’ and me, the Luna. It’s going to be tough. We have to prepare for deaths and injuries. It’s not gonna be easy, and I hate that.

I close my eyes and try to contact her. I’ve never done it before, but I feel like I need to:

*Moon Goddess, please hear me out. I know we are not supposed to call you for no reason, but we need your help. It seems like we’re going to be overpowered in this war. And my child, Adam, is still not home. I feel sick of worrying, I’m starting to doubt. We’re not going to make it without your help. Please, safe us.*

I feel Aura whimpering in my mind. Normally she’s the stable one when it comes to the two of us, but right now I can tell she’s worrying too. She has all the reasons too. I’m still sitting in the windowsill, eyes closed, when I feel a warm embrace I recognize anywhere.

*Child, I’ve promised your people something, almost 60 years ago. I’m always keeping my promises. Trust Adam, trust your powers. But above all: trust your people! They love you unconditionally and they will fight for you, ‘till death.*

I smile and whisper: “Thank you, Moon Goddess. I love you, forgive me for my doubts.”

I feel calm, right now. Much calmer than I did before. I know we can do this, but I also know that The Goddess will never give things to us for free. We should fight for it. We will earn it.
