“When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” -Haruki Murakami

Anthony Several Hours Later

I should have left this damn group on the side of the road when I had the chance.

The consistent battering of loud bass music paired with shrieks comparable to angry crows is slowly driving me into an abyss of insanity.

It is hard to believe that I was transporting fighters in their twenties, not prepubescent children.

The Moon Goddess is testing my nerves. I get it, it’s a five–hour car drive. Even wolves get antsy after being stationary for a long period of time. I stopped along the road a few times to let the group stretch or release their wolves for ten minutes, minus Abigail. Arriving at Zircon Moon couldn’t come any

sooner.

I don’t know if I could take more dance music screeching in my ears or Galen twerking in his seat. That’s an Image I did not find any use for. O

Finally, the madness had ceased. Everyone either had their headphones in listening to their music or dabbling in their apps. I sigh in silent relief, relishing in the peaceful atmosphere. We were to reach Zircon Moon territory in ten minutes, putting an end to the long ride.

“Hey Darien.” I hear Galen say.

“What?” He retorted, annoyed.

“Do you think pigeons have feelings?”

“… I’m going to give you one more chance to shut the f*ck up before 1 staple your l*ps shut.”

“It is a valid question!”

I snort silently, swallowing the laughter that bubbled at the base of my throat. Galen is one of the strangest Deltas I ever met, eccentric and zealous, but he is not to be underestimated. This man, who loves to sing badly to Korean pop music, is the same man who can become the fiercest and deadliest warrior on the battlefield. I admit, I underestimated him. I didn’t think he had what it takes to become a Delta, but he surprised me.

Yet, I don’t know how he and Darien were best friends. They couldn’t be any more different from one another. That’s why they work so well together. They complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses and make one hell of a duo.

“And yes, pigeons have feelings, you neanderthal.”

The van slows down, coming up to the gates of Zircon Moon territory. My ears caught a sharp intake of breath from behind me. I knew it is from Kiya. Glancing at the rear–view mirror, I could see her dark eyes clouding over with fear as she stared out into the familiar land.

“We’re here…” She whispered. My heart keeled for her. It can’t be easy to come back to the land that holds nothing but terrible memories. “Give me the Anti–Spray.”

Once Sapphire handed her a full bottle, my sister sprayed generously over herself, the entire interior of the car, and going to great lengths to spray the suitcases. She wanted all traces of her scent gone. She wanted 3:38 continue the illusion that her old self is dead.

Yet, even I knew that wouldn’t last.

After conversing with the guards and getting confirmation from Alpha Neron, I drove the straight and narrow path towards the mainland. Oak trees zipped passed my window, its faint scent tickling my nose. I’ll be leaving my sister here, in the place she hates so much. I’ve prayed to the Moon Goddess every night to this day to protect Kiya, although the prayers were not needed.

Kiya is Selene’s avatar. She always protects her.

“Hey, Little Bit.” Jacqueline turned her head to the young Delta. “Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“I will be.” She answered with burning determination. “I’m not the scared slave they loved to push around anymore. I’m stronger than ever before. I won’t allow them to push me around again, even after they figure out who I am.”

Pride swell in my chest, throbbing against my rib cage. My baby sister had always been strong, she needed a chance to let it out.

I want Kiya to face her past and to prove herself. That is why I selected her to be on this mission. She was an excellent trainer, a powerful fighter, and a formidable werewolf. She is everything a Beta wolf should be, and a future Luna. Neron is a fool for rejecting an amazing person. All I was hoping is that I made the right decision. in doing this.

The four–story pack house does not differ from mine, albeit it’s a little smaller. Instead of howling wolves as their statues, its wolves snarling, a representation of their ferocity. Moss and white brick made up the exterior and their windows were plethoric. As I drove up to the main entrance, I noticed the Alpha and Luna, Beta and Beta Female, and Gamma and Gamma Female awaiting us. Eyeing the rear–view mirror once more, I glanced at all my warriors, a mix of human and wolves.

I couldn’t be any prouder of them. Each is powerful, and their influence will shape this pack for the better.

“Are you all ready?”

Kiya

I sucked in a deep breath, calming my palpitating heart. This is it. This is now or never. I saw them from the faintly tinted window, standing cordially on the front steps of their home, their eyes expecting who will emerge from this van.

As expected, Neron and Odessa were still together, with his arm locked around her waist. I should be angry at this picture–perfect couple, but I wasn’t. I felt nothing. I didn’t care if Neron and Odessa were Alpha and Luna, I didn’t care about them as people. But I couldn’t help but notice that the five years enhanced their beauties. Neron is still very handsome, with a subtle stubble growing on his chin. His wavy hair is much longer, cascading over his shoulder blades, and his eyes were still a deep ocean blue. He has gotten bulkier and stronger, his muscles standing stark from his black shirt and dark pants.
