“Actually... There might be a more efficient way, miss Nora.”
What is Neal thinking about? The Beta gives me a smile, which is kind of scary in his case.
“Miss Nora, how good have you gotten at using your Alpha voice?” He asks.
“Pretty fine, I guess? My wolf always responds, and I can use it whenever I want to mind-link any Alpha I know or Elena.”
“Do you remember when you reached out to everyone?”
The battle against the vampires. Of course, I do. It wasn’t on purpose at all, I was just totally panicking. Moreover, Elena told me I should not use it, it’s... annoying for other werewolves. Bobo described it as having my voice buzzing into his head, like some forceful echo.
“Neal, I’m not sure if... “
“I think this would be a very efficient way to call out to everyone and introduce yourself at the same time.”
“I am not going to mind-link all the werewolves of Silver City again just to tell them who I am!”
He remains silent. …Really? No, I won’t! I turn to Damian, but instead of being against it, my mate seems to consider Neal’s idea.
“Damian, no!”
“Nora, that might be a good way to—”
“Startle or scare everyone! Damian, I may have this power, but it is annoying to others and forceful!”
“Didn’t you say to use fear to convince them? What if they don’t want to, or are too scared? A Luna’s voice might be more convincing…”
I bite my lip. Damian has a point, but... I’m scared of people’s reactions. I don’t like the idea of being feared because I am a Royal, nor forcing people with my power. On the other hand, I do know this is important, we can’t compromise at this point. If I reveal my lineage, it mightreally help Damian gather all the Clans together. William might even support this once I prove it. He did say he wanted me to join the Sapphire Moon if I really prove to be Queen Diane’s granddaughter.
“All right... But I won’t threaten anyone. Just use my Aura to reach out to everyone, okay?”
“You do it the way you want, my Love.”
“Okay, so... The stadium?”
“The stadium, in three days. Each Alpha can bring fifty wolves at most. No weapons, but any form is okay,” says Neal. “They have to come on foot; we will close all roads surrounding the stadium.”
His professional attitude is back again, but it only makes me worry more. This is serious. It was my idea, but now I am kind of freaking out... Damian glances at Neal, and the Mura brothers leave us alone.
Once they’re gone, Damian grabs me by the waist and makes me sit in front of him on his desk. His arms around me, he leans to put a kiss on my forehead. He looks at me in the eye with a solemn expression.
“Nora, once you do this, there is no coming back. Everyone will know who you are. You won’t be hidden anymore— your identity will be out in the open.”
I nod. I know. Isn’t it ironic? Three months ago, I was no one. A girl hid in a basement, unaware of her own background. I had no idea I had a mate waiting for me, looking for me.
Look at me now.
I have friends, a mate, a job, and a future as a Luna waiting for me. I smile. This seems so unreal, and yet, I love it.
Damian frowns, confused by my happy expression. “What is it?”
“I’m just... I’m fine. Despite all this mess with the packs, the whole Witch issue, even Marcus... When I think about it, I’m happy, Damian, because you’re here. All of you. You, Bobo, Elena, Liam, Nathaniel, Tonia... Months ago, I was always scared, I thought no one would save me. If I disappeared, it seemed like no one would care about it. Now, I know you’re here with me, and I’m not scared of the future anymore; even if Hell breaks loose, I will fight it with you. I want to fight. That’s something I never thought of before. I never thought of fighting back. There was no reason for it.”
I put my hands around his neck, looking into his mesmerizing silver eyes I love so much. I give him a quick peck on the lips, before continuing.
“Now I got tons of reasons. I want to find the truth about my mom, protect you and my friends. I want to know more about my cousin and get closer to her. I want to be a Luna for the Blood Moon wolves, one they can acknowledge. I want to be with you, have a future with you.”
He slowly lets out a smile and kisses me too.
