My Miracle Luna
Chapter 82

{Kelsey's

P.O.V.}

"Kels, do you think this pack is going to be better?" Lisa asked me. We were all in the van together, at least those of us who had decided to go to the Blue Lake pack with Alpha Wyatt.

"I think so," I answered softly while looking out of the window. "Alpha Wyatt seems to genuine when he says we can all have a better life in his pack,"

"What about living arrangements, did he discuss that with you?" Natalie, another girl from Texas asked me.

"Not yet, he said that he will get all of us into a conference room when we arrive there, and all the nuances will be discussed then. He said that he wants to speak with everyone together in one room," I replied.

"Did he say anything else in detail about the whole 'mate' thing?" Justin, one of the guys who showed around the same time I did, asked.

"No, but I'm sure that's something he will discuss as well,"

"I overheard someone say it's like having a soul mate. Someone that you're destined to be with," Natalie responded. I just nodded my head but didn't say anything.

"Alright you guys, we're pulling up to the pack territory now," our driver told us. Apparently, his name is Angelo and Wyatt had sent for him to drive us while Wyatt and Kendrick, or should I say Lorenzo was in the car in front of us.

When we pulled in, all of us gasped and shouted in awe at the scenery before us.

"Yo! This place is lit!!" Justin shouted

"Oh my god! Check out that lake!!" Natalie exclaimed. "Are we allowed to go there?" she asked Angelo

"Of course," he replied. "That gate we just came through is the start of the Blue Lake territory. Everything beyond that gate and within the walls of these mountains belongs to us. This is our territory, and you are more than welcome to roam around freely," we all started to cheer, and everyone started to talk at the same time about going swimming in the summer, having parties, and barbeques.

"Angelo, what are these small cottage looking houses?" I asked.

"Those are pack member cottages,"

"They're so adorable!" Lisa said cupping her hands to her face.

"IS THAT A f*****g CASTLE!?!" one of the girls whose name I don't know screamed. We all looked ahead and sure enough, there was a f*****g castle.

"WHOA!!" we all shouted.

"Hahaha! Yes, it is a castle,"

"Who lives in there? Is that part of the pack territory too?" Justin asked.

"It is, that's where all of the ranked members live,"

"Ranked members?" Lisa asked c*****g her head.

"Right, I forgot you guys are newborns," Angelo said. "The ranked members are exactly that, those have a rank. That includes the Alpha, his mate, the Luna, the second in command, or the Beta, and his mate, the Beta female, who also happens to be the Alpha's younger sister, the third in command, also know as a Gamma, and his mate, the Gamma female, and all of their family members," "Where do you live?" I asked him.

"I live in the castle, but that's because my twin sister is the Gamma female. So, my mate Michelle and I live on the second floor. But, the castle is open to any pack member to come and go as they please. The doors are never locked because the Alpha wants every pack member to come and go freely,"

"So, are we allowed to go in and out also?" one of the guys in the back who I don't know asked.

"Of course, after today, all of you will be honorary pack members of Blue Lake," Angelo answered, and everyone started to high five each other.

"I wonder what kind of pack Golden Moon is," I said out loud.

"Golden Moon isn't as big as ours, but Richard has a territory of great size in the middle of the forest, and has the same concept as us,"

"Are there rules to the castle that we have to follow?" Justin asked.

"Not really, the only rule there really is to never go into any of the occupied rooms without permission. There is no reason for anyone to go up the stairs in all honesty. The first floor has everything you want, gym, spa, recreation room, indoor pool, movie theatre, library, large living room, and of course, the kitchen and dining rooms,"

"Dining rooms? As in plural," I asked.

"Yup! There's the main dining room for the ranked members and their family members, and then you have the commons dining room for other pack members who want to hang out," we were all still admiring everything the territory had to offer when we pulled up in front of the castle. It was definitely a lot bigger than I thought. One by one we started to pile out of the van and stood in a straight horizontal line.

We were all gawking at the building in front of us, no one saying a single word,

"Well, I guess all of you are impressed with your new home," we all looked in front of us and saw the Alpha. "How about we all head inside to the conference room, and we can talk about details, living arrangements, rules, and you can also meet the other ranked members," he didn't even wait for a reply and turned to head inside. We all followed after him in a single file line, and as soon we entered, my mouth dropped, and so did everyone else's. I didn't even have a chance to take in everything when someone called my name,

"KELSEY!!!" I looked towards the stairs.

"VICTOR!?!" he ran towards us and those of us who knew him engulfed him in a group hug. Even though we all had only known each other for a short period of time, we had all bonded over the fact that we were all kidnapped.

"Holy f**k! I can't believe you guys are actually here! When I was told someone of you guys were going to be coming here, I couldn't believe it, but seeing you guys, oh man!" Victor started to ramble. Some of the girls who he had practically kept safe before he was taken away were crying holding onto him. "Is it true?" he asked while pulling away from us, "Did that other pack turn you guys into werewolves?"

"They did," I replied. "Unfortunately, not everyone survived the bite,"

"What about Brent? Hannah? Amrita?"

"Brent and Hannah went to another pack called Golden Moon. Amrita..." I couldn't say the words, and just shook my head.

"I'm sorry you guys, I wish I could have helped save everyone faster," he said and hung his head.

"Victor, there was nothing you could have done, but it was because of you that Alpha Wyatt eventually found us. You surviving is what led to our freedom," Lisa said.

"She's right, Victor. You don't have to apologize, this wasn't your fault," I added in.

"Victor," we turned around and saw the Alpha staring at us. "Please bring everyone to the conference room, you all can catch up later after they are all situated,"

"Sure thing, Wyatt," Victor led us down a long corridor and into a humungous room that had a long rectangular table that could fit thirty people. We all sat close to each other and Wyatt was at the head of the table with Lorenzo and several others.

"Alright, I want to first and foremost welcome all of you to your new home, the Blue Lake Pack," Wyatt said. "I know that all of you went through something terrible and watched many of your friends die, and I'm sorry that I couldn't save you all before that happened. I'm just glad that we were able to save those of you that remained. I know that your lives have all been turned upside down, having been turned into werewolves, but rest assured, that my pack is a safe place to live. At least, I try to make it as safe as possible. Before we get into rules, laws, and living arrangements, I want everyone to meet the rest of the ranked members. The leadership of this pack. As all of you know by now, I'm Wyatt, the Alpha of this pack,"

"Hello, everyone, I'm Wyatt's mate and the Luna of the pack. My name is Megan,"

"For those of you who have hadn't a chance to meet me, my name is Kendrick, I'm the second in command, also known as the Beta," something was off about him. This didn't seem like the same Kendrick that I met before.

"Hi, everyone, my name is Melody. I'm Kendrick's mate and Wyatt's younger sister. I'm the Beta female,"

"Good afternoon, my name is Jason, I am the Gamma or third in command, and this lovely lady to my left is my mate and the Gamma female,"

"Hey, you guys, welcome to Blue Lake. My name is Milan. You all already met my twin brother, Angelo," we all said our hellos, and introduced ourselves one at a time. Once we had gone all around the table, Alpha Wyatt went straight into rules and laws we have to follow being werewolves, and inner pack laws that we also had to follow so we never got kicked out.

It was a lot to remember, but he assured us as time went on, we would learn as we went and that pack members will help us get acclimated to our new lives. After politics, he went into living arrangements, and surprisingly, we all got to have our own cottage within the territory. He did his best to accommodate all of us to be close to each other. We found out that Victor was currently living in the castle, but now that we were all here, he asked to be moved into a cottage to be close to the rest of us.

Once all of the living arrangements were figured out, Wyatt offered us jobs within the pack, and at this architecture company. Justin threw a fit of excitement since he was an architect major, and when he found out exactly who the Alpha was, he was practically groveling at his feet. Apparently, Wyatt was some big shot architect company CEO.

"Does anyone have any questions?" Wyatt asked us.

"Yeah, I do,"

"Go ahead, Justin,"

"Can you explain in detail what a mate is?" he asked, and all of our ears peaked in interest.

"Sure," Wyatt replied with a smile. "A mate for a werewolf is a destined individual that is chosen for us since before we're even born, and they're chosen by the mother of all werewolves, the moon goddess. I would say that 95% of the time, mates that find each other fall in love instantly, and they build their life together. But, that other 5% is filled with those who decide to reject their mate for various reasons. Some that are rejected or do the rejecting may get lucky enough to find a second chance, but that doesn't always happen. Take me for example. Megan is my mate, but she's not my destined mate. I chose her to replace my destined mate,"

"Why?" I asked.

"It's a long story, and it's a sad one. Unfortunately, some s**t happened with dark magic, and it led to my mate leaving me. During that dark time, I met Megan, and we produced a son together. Even though she's not my destined mate, I made the choice to make her my mate for the sake of our son," "So, we can choose mate?" one of the guys named Alex asked.

"Not necessarily. Choosing a mate has a lot of consequences, the biggest one being if your actual mate comes along and you're already taken. That can cause a lot of unwanted drama. It's best to wait for your mate, and go from here,"

"If any of you do find your destined mate, don't take rejection lightly," Melody said to us. "It is very painful for both parties, and in some cases, many of those who have been rejected have been known to commit suicide," all of our mouths dropped in shock. "There are in some cases where a rejected mate will find a second chance, as my brother said, but it's typically those who were rejected that are lucky enough to get a second chance. Those that do the rejection typically are punished by either being alone forever or having to take a chosen mate,"

"Alpha, is that what happened to you?" Lisa asked him.

"As I said, my situation is very different and complex, and it was triggered by dark magic. I care about Megan, and I do love her, but no one can ever replace my destined mate,"

"That's kind of messed up to say in front of her," Natalie sneers at him.

"It's okay, Natalie," Megan says. "I came into this knowing that he had a mate before me and that she was his destined mate. I too have grown to love Wyatt, and like him, I was also rejected by my first mate, but my situation was more normal in a sense. I don't hold anything against him, and we have no secrets from each other," all of us were really impressed with her.

"So, as werewolves, you're saying that all of us will eventually find a destined mate?" I asked.

"Yes," Wyatt replied. "Even Victor may find one now that he lives in a world amongst our kind,"

"But he's human," Justin said.

"He is, but there are in many cases where a wolf's mate is of a different species, and in many cases, their mate can be human,"

"When you say other species..." Rolland, or as he wants to be called Rollie, started to say,

"Poor humans, they have no idea," Milan said shaking her head. "Everything that you grew up thinking was fiction, throw all of that out of the window,"

"WHAT!?" we all shouted.

"Oh yeah, there aren't just werewolves in the world, you have witches, demons, warlocks, vampires, fairies, dragons, bears, panthers, tigers, and other wild were-animals," Milan explained, and all of our jaws were hanging open like fly traps.

"There is a lot of information of the supernatural world that you guys will come to learn over time," Wyatt said and we all just nodded. We all looked at each other in complete shock at how much all of our lives have completely changed. "If there are no additional questions, our kitchen staff is currently making a feast for your welcome. This weekend, I will hold an actual ceremony to welcome all of you properly into the pack, and then you will all be able to mind-link with the pack and each other," "What about Victor?" I asked. "Is he going to stay human?"

"That's up to him," the Alpha replied. "Unfortunately, the rest of you weren't given a choice, and that sadly led to the death of many of your comrades; however, Victor is a different story. He has the choice to do whatever he wants, and if he wants to stay human, he can, or if he wants to turn, I can always turn him, or if he ends up with a supernatural mate, it would be best if he became one of them,"

"Wait, are you saying that I can have a mate out there, that isn't a werewolf?" Victor asked.

"Yes," he replied. "What I've come to learn about the human species is that they only tend to survive the bite from a supernatural if they're meant to be that species. Which is why many of your friends died. They weren't meant to be werewolves. They were either meant to stay human for the rest of their lives, or they were meant to be turned by another supernatural," all of us just nodded. "If that is all, then how about we head over to the commons dining room so we can all eat together," we all nodded and stood up to go. We all headed out of the conference room and back down the corridor to go to the commons dining room when a sudden sweet smell caught my attention. I stopped and gasped because I felt my wolf starting to go insane. I didn't know what was wrong with me. "Yo, what's with Kelsey, Nat, and Lisa?" I heard Justin ask. It felt like I was caught in a trance, and then out of nowhere, I found myself being lifted off the ground and pinned against the wall. My daze was broken, and in front of me was the hottest guy I had ever seen. I felt his chest rumble, and with a loud and feral growl, he said one word that made me horny in half a second,

"MATE!"
