Chapter 79
"Here come the Alpha and Luna now," Ashley motions to US as we enter the great room.
I hold up the books and look at the children who all still look pretty tentative about their new environment, "Who wants to hear a story? Follow me!"
I walk backward slowly, with a big smile, as children look up to their parents for permission. Moms and dads gratefully set toddlers down and let go of their children’s hands, encouraging them to follow me, so they can have a few minutes of peace.
I lead the children over to the corner with all the comfortable cushions and bean bags. Once we are all settled in, I give the kids a choice, a book or a story about the Moon Goddess. They all agree they want to hear about the Moon Goddess, so I tell them the story of how the Moon Goddess and Endymion fell in love and had fifty daughters together. I leave out the parts about factions, abilities, and that I am one of those daughters. I let Lex help by using her voice for the male characters in the story.
As I tell the story, I see Ashley out of the corner of my eye give me a thumbs up with a big grin. Even some parents are listening in. I glance over to see some of them smiling and whispering happily to each other.
"Is that it?" One of the girls cries out desperately as I finish the story.
I feel myself chuckle, "Yes, darling. For now, that's it, but guess what. Every Thursday afternoon, I go to the pack library and we have story time. Ask your parents to get the information from Gamma Ashley."
The girl's eyes brighten when she hears she will get to hear more stories from me.
"Now, who here is going to school on Monday?" I look around at the group. More of the children raise their hands, "Oh! So exciting! I bet your teachers are going to be thrilled to meet you."
A little girl sitting near the back looks up at me with a worried face, "Is school scary, Luna? I've never been before."
'Well, school can be scary at first, but a lot of new things are scary. Once you see that there is nothing to fear, then it's fun. What’s your name, darling? What grade are you going to be in?" I reassure the girl.
"I'm Hannah Fisher. I'm going to be in first grade," she says, a little more confidently. As I look more closely at her, I realize it’s the little girl from the basement.
'Well, you are in luck, Hannah Fisher. The first grade teachers are the best," I emphasize the word best, making my eyes big, "And the first graders are learning a play for Winter Solstice. I bet they can find a role for you.”
Hannah smiles and her eyes get glossy, "Really?"
