Chapter 2

*Blakes POV*

I ran my fingers through my hair and let out a frustrated sigh. "My mate is distressed!" My wolf whined to me. I blocked Blade out and focused on Luke and Tyler. "Look guys I'd rather not have the pack know I found my mate, at least not until we figure out what she is exactly." I told them, knowing if anything I could always trust my beta and gamma. We've had each other's backs since we were pups. They nodded in agreement and gave each other a side look they thought I wouldn't pick up on. Just like the brothers to do their own internal communication with each other, its not as though I cant understand though. "What?" I growled my wolf was feeling so many emotions now because he didn't like being away from our newly discovered mate.

"Well Alpha we just don't know it's that great of an idea to hide her away especially from the pack. She's our new Luna we need her dearly too for our pack to prosper even more." Luke spoke up. "But her appearance and behavior may surprise the rest of the pack and especially if you allow her around humans, sir." Tyler added in. I looked at them both letting a low growl slip out but I knew they were right Isra is different and to hell with what anyone else thinks of her I just don't want her to get hurt at all or feel bad about her appearance. I thought hard about what I could do logically since my wolf was far from helpful in the logic department. "Maybe ask your father bro." Luke said patting my shoulder, snapping me out of my thoughts. He's never seen this side of me before, he's never seen me show real emotion at all until today. I could tell he was hurt that I'd keep their Luna away from the pack.

Thinking to what he said about my dad, maybe the old man could help me out here. I mind linked my dad and told him to meet me in my office. "sure" he responded swiftly. I motioned for Luke and Tyler to follow me to my office. I sat down in my chair letting my mind wonder about her. "Isra" My wolf purred in my head. Oh shit he's purring now this is extremely new. I let out a quite chuckle as my father strolled in casually. "Early morning to ya son." He said. I looked at my watch. shit I thought, it's damn near 2 in the morning. Fuck it I just want to curl up with Isra and sleep for the next week or so. "Your mother won't shut up about you finding your mate and kept sending me mental images of her. Is that why you wanted to see me?" He asked alarmed, no doubt considering Isra's appearance. "Yes. Dad I don't understand who is she why is she so different and how the hell is she able to move water with her mind?" I started spitting out questions none of which I expected a real answer for. Luke and Tyler just looked down as if they too were feeling my pain.

"That's probably not all she's capable of." My father sighed out. "What do you mean?" I barked at him. He gave me a look telling me to watch it. Alpha or not that's still the man that raised me to be Alpha. "Son think hard about everything you've ever learned as a pup all the legends and stories your mother and I told you. Do you remember a specific story your mother would tell you before bed about the moon goddess Selene?" He asked me slowly.

I tried to think hard back to all the stories mom told me as a pup honestly there was just so many. Every pup heard these stories growing up but that's just it they were all stories to put us to sleep at night. "Which one?" I asked him, lowering my head embarrassed to have not really been paying better attention to my mother's bed time stories.

"Long ago the moon goddess was said to have been lonely for a time, when she looked over all of her descendants and how they had all wandered begin having families of their own and generation after generation had come to be werewolves. She was said to have used her wolf form to give birth to a female pup whom she loved fiercely and allowed her to run the earth freely as a wolf only, until one day when she was older she fell in love with a human. The daughter pleaded with Selene to make her human so she could communicate to the human. Her mother forbid her to release her wolf form fearing that it would cause her to forget who she really was. Though she couldn't stand to hear her daughters howls of sorrow at night. She permitted her a half wolf half human form. The daughter was filled with such joy that when she cried it was said that one of her tears formed what's now known as the northern star."

He continued to speak "She returned to earth to meet the human she'd fallen so madly in love with. He saw her and fell in love instantly. It was said their relationship is when the moon goddess saw the need for all of her descendants to have a mate that they were destined to be with so they wouldn't have to go searching. However, when other humans saw the daughter she was thought to be a demon and brainwashed the man she loved dearly. The humans tried to reason with the man to get him to see that his lover was a demon. When they realized he wouldn't give in they sentenced him to death. The humans forced the daughter to watch her love's life be taken from her. She was said to have grown so angry that she terrorized humans for centuries, killing them in their sleep through dark nightmares she conjured. She was in such despair she refused to allow her mother to lower the moon and make room for the day time. Her mother noticed her daughter's despair but also had to do what was best for every living being on earth. It was said that she imprisoned her daughter in the moon and that's why the craters form the pattern of a face when full."

My father said looking sternly at me, he continued "It was never known what happened to Selene's daughter. Only the goddess knows now. Not many legends even speak of her beloved daughter anymore." I took all of this in and panicked. I was mated to Selene's daughter. Me!? Why me how was I of all people worthy of the great goddess' daughter? I was a brute, a killer, an uncaring and unloving wolf at best. I felt my body go cold. "Want mate!" I heard her beautiful voice call out to my wolf in my head. I shook it off for a minute focusing on what my father told me. "Why me?" was all I could ask quietly. "That I don't know son but there is no doubt in my mind that your mate is the goddess' daughter." He replied giving my shoulder a hard squeeze. "However, be warned if anyone is to know that a goddess is upon us your mate will be in an unfathomable danger." I growled at him. The thought of any danger surrounding her caused my wolf and me a great pain. "For now, mom has her in my room I hope she can be calm until we can talk." I said. I mind linked my mom and told her I was on my way up and that she may leave.

*Isras POV*

"Want mate!" I whined allowed. I was in a room that smelled consistently of my mate. That alone excited me and I let my tail wag. I sat on his bed comfortably, tugging at the "shirt" thing that covered my bare skin. I looked down at my hands and legs and studied them. No fur I thought, this has got to be the most inconvenient form. I'm very cold and my tail was not all the much help as I wrapped it around me. I can't understand how humans can live so efficiently with no fur or claws or fangs. The confusion of humans frustrated me to no end. I shook my head wanting to shift but thought maybe my mate would want me to stay in this form. He's so well adapted to his, how are humans and wolves now one being. I began to feel an ache form in the center of my head.

I heard footsteps approach the door and growled to let the intruder know they were not at all welcomed. The door opened and my mate stomped and growled back louder. "Don't you dare disrespect me in my own territory." His alpha roared at me. I let out a whimper and let my ears down and my tail tuck between my legs. "We are sorry Alpha we did not realize it was you coming." I whimpered lowering my head to him in submission. "No Isra I'm sorry I got upset and we are mates you don't have to call me Alpha." He said softly, rubbing the spot between my ears. I loved his touch and especially in that motion. I let my tail come from under me and swish from side to side slowly. I looked up at him and could see he was having a long conversation with his wolf. "What does mate worry about?" I asked allowing my head to fall into his lap as he began to play with my hair.

"Isra do you know who you are?" He asked me softly. I rose up and looked at him, wagging my tail. "Yes Alpha we are Isra we are the mate of Alpha Blake." I spoke confidently. He chuckled and tugged at one of my ears. "No I mean do you know where you came from or how you came into my territory?" He asked rubbing one of my ears. I began to feel the ache in my head increase. I tried to remember where I came from, I truthfully do not remember belonging to a pack at all. I can only remember time I spent wandering around the woods. I do not recall a family either no mother or father. "No. We only remember running and then being attacked by your pack members." I sighed and Blake let out a vicious growl. I nuzzled into his neck to try and calm him. "No mate do not be angry they defended your territory well." I whispered into his neck taking in his intoxicating scent. He growled again.

"Mate why are you angry, we do not mean to upset you." I pleaded tucking my tail to show him I am submitting. "I'm sorry it's not that, I'm just so attracted to you. Your touch is killing me." I gasped in horror and withdrew myself from his body. "Mate we are sorry we did not mean to cause you death." I yelled, my ears pointing upward. Blake's body was shaking roughly from laughter. I couldn't help but stare in astonishment. His human side apparently found me incredibly amusing. "No Isra that's an expression people say." He continued laughing. I huffed in frustration I do not understand human behavior at all nor their communications either. " We do not comprehend your human side at all. We will remain in this form if you prefer but we do not think we will ever understand your human as well as we do your wolf." I sniffled lowering my ears. He smiled and said "We have a lot to teach you little mate." he said pulling me down to lay beside him. I soon gave into my exhaustion of the day.
