Two days later I woke up. The Alpha and Luna were happy to see I was awake. They were starting to get worried. They said they checked on me a few times but I didn't move at all so they let me sleep. The Beta also came to check on me. He was glad to see me awake as well.
Everyone had questions so I decided to start the conversation off, " First of all I seem to have forgotten most of what we talked about two days ago. Did you find my friends? I'm really sorry but what are your names, and where am I at? What do you want to know about me?"
" It's okay we understand, you must have hit your head or something. Or you were just really tired. I am Alpha Jorden, this is my Luna Teressa. And he is my Beta Joshua. As far as your friends go we might have found one, she is a young female. One of my men imprinted on her. Right now she is with him. Finally you are in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are a small cut strong pack. We are hoping you will be willing to stay with us since you are Joshua's soul mate."
I turn to Joshua and smile, I feel the tugging in my chest. I didn't think I could be the soul mate to a wolf. What do I do? I need to find the others. So I ask," Can I see the young lady please? I need to make sure she is one of mine and know she is ok."
"Of course Joshua can take you to her. And maybe she knows where the others are as well. Joshua please take her to the girl."
Joshua leads we outside. We go down a path to the left till we come to a little house in a clearing. Then he knocks on the door. A big man answers and I hear a screech in the background. I smile and run past the big wolf. It is Sui Wenyen. Oh I am so happy to see her.
" She has not spoken since we found her. Is she okay. I am her soul mate. What is her name please? And where is she from."
"Her name is Sui Wenyen. She is nineteen years old. She is very shy. She has been on her own most of her life untill an acting troupe took her in, but she didn't do well there so she came to the monastery. Three days ago it was attacked and destroyed. We went through a portal and ended up here." I said this to everyone so they all would know what was going on, and everything about her. Then to her I said," Do you know where the others are? Did everyone make it through the portal. Did you know we went from China to the Blue Ridge mountains. I can't believe it myself."
" I'm sorry I don't know where the others are. All I know is I was holding Wenren's hand as we ran into the light. Then I woke up surrounded by a bunch of men. And this one telling me we are soul mates. That he has imprinted on me. I think I am a little young don't you."
"I will talk to the Alpha and Luna. You know I am the soul mate to the Beta over there. Don't worry I will figure it out. Has he been nice to you at least?"
"Oh yes elder Summer, he has been a gentleman to me. He knew you were looking for me, and he could tell I was young. He brought me here and let me rest, then you came."
"That's good, just relax for now I have to talk to the Alpha and Luna but I will be back. Just stay calm and try to talk to him okay."
"Okay I will try, but you know I'm not really good at talking to people."
"Yes, I know just try to talk to him. Do you know his name? That could be a good conversation starter. Just try for me okay."
I get up from the couch and go talk to the gentlemen. They are both waiting over by the kitchen. "Sir what is your name? She is very shy and very young. She was mistreated for many years. Please be gentle with her."
" My lady she will be treated like a queen. I heard you say she is nineteen. Don't worry I won't force her to do anything. I will love, cherish, and protect her. And my name is Sam. I am nineteen and I am a guard in the Alpha's personal guard. I heard her call you elder Summer, why is that?"
" I was one of the few training at the monastery from a young age. I had been there for almost twenty years. So by rights I am an elder. try playing a board game with her, she loves those. I truly hope things work out well for both of you, and don't be afraid to come to me if you have questions. Okay Joshua I need to speak with the. Alpha again. Let's go please."
After talking to Sui I felt so much better. I still worried about the other three, hoping they were safe and well. I decided for now I would stay here if the Alpha would let me. And I planned to tell the Alpha about the things I could do. We got back to the house and Joshua made his report. Next it was my turn.
" Alpha there is something you should know, the reason I was at the monastery training is because I am a healer. I can also do a few other small things, but healing is my passion.I will help the pack anyway I can while I am here. But also know if possible I need to find my other three charges."
"We understand how you feel and we will continue looking for them. We would be honored to have you as our healer. But I must ask, what about Joshua?"
I turn to Joshua and say," I understand that you know me as your soul mate, but I don't know you at all. I just survived the almost total destruction of my monastery lost my charges and ended up half way around the world. I am asking for time to adjust. Hopefully find my charges, and let's get to know each other first shall we? I am not pushing your beliefs away I am just asking for time." Then I look at the Alpha and ask, " I don't mean to be rude but it is a bit much to take in. I would like to know if you have a place I can stay and also want you to know that as long as he treats her well I am ok at with Sui staying with Sam. I think he might do her some good."
" You can stay with me, I promise not to push you into anything. I will give you your space. You make several good points and I am willing to meet you half was. I even have a second bedroom you can use."
"I am okay with that if you are. He can also show you around the pack territory. Take you around and meet the other members of the pack."
"That is fine with me. Thank you Joshua. That is very kind of you. If you don't mind I would love to get something to eat and then lay down again."
"I would be happy to cook for you. Then you can rest all you want. Alpha, Luna we will talk to you later."
"Yes, thank you Alpha, Luna I will talk to you more later if that's okay."
" Yes, that's okay. Go eat and rest, we will be here later."
With that we went to Joshua's house. He cooked me a steak, baked potatoe, and corn. It was wonderful and I told him so. Then I went to my room and fell asleep.
