A Letter
Rain's POV
The Jet initiates landing and I can hardly suppress my excitement to see Magda again.
I am so happy with her arrival, even though the circumstances are not my favorite. My instinct tells me that her flight from her mate has everything to do with him being a werewolf. Esis finally confessed and Magda didn't know how to handle the resulting situation very well. She has never really been a strong personality, Magda has a soft character and can't even hurt a fly. With her marriage to Esis, she has made herself emotionally totally dependent on her husband, who has no problem with that at all. But dealing on her own with such an issue that turns her life upside down is not really her thing. And she turned to me for help, which I gladly offered.
The Jet's door slides open and I rush toward her.
She speeds down the three flights of stairs and plunges into my arms. "Saray! How happy I am to be with you. I think I'm going crazy from all that happened the last few days," she declares breathlessly in a low tone. "Esis is a werewolf. Did you know that? I married a werewolf. And Elena thinks you're a werewolf too," she blurts out. I chuckle, Magda has always been an open book. "Yes, I'm a werewolf too. That's why I defeated your father and Peter at the hunt on the island". We both burst out laughing now thinking back to the painful experience of the two seasoned hunters. I am sure that if they find out I am a werewolf and hunting is in my genes, they will immediately remember that unfortunate day and demand compensation.
I feel a heightened energy in the car. Confused, I look toward Ivor.
His face is red and emotionless as ever. I can hear his heart rate increasing. I would so like to tease him in the mind link, but it has yet to be active. Only after my coronation as the Queen of the Kingdom and with Ralph's mark will the link to all Lycans open. "How did Elena pick up on all this? Was she startled and did she say anything about me?" I ask timidly. Losing the girl's friendship will be a hard nut to crack for me. Elena is in my heart, she will always be my little girl.
"At first, she did. She couldn't believe that Esis was a beast but later reminisced the day at the dining table when you all behaved strangely. She was the one who figured out you were a werewolf also. When I asked her about that, she stated that nothing could alienate her from you. But after that, she was more worried about Ivor," Magda whispers, peeking at the man in front.
But Ivor certainly heard her words with his Lycan hearing. His face tilts for a moment as if he is now concentrating on our conversation. "Then what did she say about him?" I ask, my eyes fixed tightly on the Chief Warrior in the passenger's seat. "Well, she flew into the pen and wrote down her thoughts on paper. The letter is here in my bag. But I doubt you and I will know its contents," she teases, beckoning to Ivor with her eyes, who now sit up straight.
But then I go back to the serious issues at hand.
"I'm glad you thought of me when you decided to get away, Magda," I tell her now. "I would be terribly worried if you were elsewhere and we couldn't find you. Know that you can always come to me with anything that concerns you. We must stay together as a family". With a jerk, my friend pulls me into her arms and presses me firmly against her chest. "Thank you, Saray," she responds gratefully. "It's the shock of realizing I married someone different than I thought. It was a blow, although he did keep talking about himself as an Alpha and me being his Luna and the pack he oversaw. But I thought he was joking and just crazy about the werewolf stories that occupy this whole country."
"No problem. But you know you are now in the Kingdom of the Royal Werewolves, aren't you? The werewolves here are of an evolved race we call Lycans. Take some time tonight to learn about them online. Then you will also understand Esis better and know what his pack expects of you as their Luna. Midnight Moon and Storm Forest are the largest and most powerful werewolf packs". Out of the corner of my eye, I see Ivor tighten up again. This man's mood swings are highly interesting and I make a mental note to pay close attention to his demeanor in the future.
"Magda, did you tell Esis you were coming here? He must be mad with worry," I ask my friend softly. To my shock, she shakes her head in denial. "I don't want to talk to him for now. He'll talk me into coming back in no time and I really need some time without him. There was a man at the door who said he was my husband's Gamma and was assigned to take me wherever I liked," she declares sadly. "Saray, do you think another woman will be able to seduce my husband? Look, he has set a mark for me. He says this makes me his forever. But he doesn't have a mark," she asks me with big anxious eyes while pushing her sweater aside.
No, this is too much for a simple werewolf like me. The logic of humans is worth a study. Someone hold me now, I'm dying of laughter.
"Magda, you also get to mark him, don't you worry about that. And Esis will never look at another woman, you are his fated mate. The mate bond only works one way and that is to the person the Moon Goddess has bonded you to. Rest assured, girl. You hit the jackpot," I soothe her, still hiccupping from her remark. I see her relax after my answer, this silly woman seriously thought the Alpha was capable of committing adultery. "Besides, he wouldn't dare. I am your friend and our revenge he would not want to suffer". Magda giggles as she reads the mischief in my eyes....
