The two spoke for hours. After hours of explaining everything to Jack, Bree finally finished and sighed deeply.
It was a beautiful day outside; bright sunrays filled the sky as a few fluffy clouds drifted lazily above. It was quiet; no cars were driving along the road.
Jack took a deep breath of the warm morning air as he gazed at Bree. "wanna go for a walk to Eli's? and before you say no he wants to apologise...so let him" said Jack
"sure, whatever floats your boat Jacky" she said teasingly "don't call me that" said Jack as they both walked out the front door.
As they get closer to Elijah's house, Bree and Jack were stopped by Ethan popping up out of nowhere.
"Ethan mate, you gotta stop that man," said Jack holding his chest and trying to catch his breath.
"Sorry, but I need you to follow me. the packs want to meet with the new wolf in town" said Ethan.
Bree raised an eyebrow, "the packs?" said Bree. "yeah the packs," said Ethan as he snapped his neck to look at Bree "what are you, now?" he said snidely. he then adds "C'mon Jack let's go"
As the two follow Ethan up to the pack house. when they got to the house Ethan looks at Bree and says "you should probably wait out here since you're not a wolf" before walking into the pack house with Jack.
the pack house was where the wolf council met and set ground rules and truces. The pack-house was the one place in Warrow where no conflict was allowed. The council maintains the peace between packs in order to keep their existence a secret.
As soon as Ethan and Jack walked through the doors of the pack house they were greeted by the pack leader and council members.
"hey everyone" said Jack looking around the room nervously.
The pack leaders and council members all stood up as Ethan and Jack walked towards the centre of the room.
"this is the new wolf Jack" said Ethan gesturing to him.
"Nice to meet ya, I'm Jay, this is Liam, Jason and Zane," said Jay as he pointed to each of the people he introduced.
"nice to meet you all," said Jack
"why don't we sit down," said Ethan motioning towards chairs, all the other wolves sat down, including Jack.
"So," said Jay "we hear you're the new wolf?"
"yea, I guess," said Jack awkwardly.
"it's nice to meet you," said Jay looking directly at Jack.
After a moment of awkward silence, a council member interrupts "as you know, I heard you defeated one of the last rogue wolves from the Divoc pack"
"that's right, but it was mainly Ethan" said Jack.
"we heard there were more than one" said a younger voice. It was Liam.
"there were" confirmed, Jack.
They all spoke for a while and Jack started to feel at home, somewhere he could call home.
suddenly the doors fling open.
"what do we have here?" said a feminine voice coming from the entrance holding Bree from the back of her neck and dragging her in. as Jack turned around he saw a woman with long blood red hair wearing a white suit.
Jack instantly remembers where he previously Encountered the same woman. Jack jumped out of his seat and said
"you! you're the bitch that tried to kill me and my friends! LET HER GO NOW!" as his eyes glowed orange and fangs ejected from where his k9 teeth once were.
"I see the rumours about you and this human haven't gone entirely to waste." She said as she looked at Jack
"what is that supposed to mean?" said Jack angrily "let her go or I'll rip off your throat!"
"Oh, I bet you will." She said as she looked over to Bree, "so this is the little human" she said mockingly
"shut up you bitch" replied Bree angrily "how dare you speak of me like that wretched human" she said as she lifted Bree from the throat.
"ENOUGH LUNA, PUT THE GIRL DOWN AT ONCE! IT IS FORBIDDEN TO ATTACK ANYONE WHILE AT THE COUNCIL HOUSE!" Commanded Jay as he rose from the chair.
"relax Jay I'm just having a little fun" said Luna as she dropped Bree. Bree falls to the floor coughing and trying to catch her breath.
Jack runs to Bree's aid. "you okay?" he asked Bree as he helped her up.
"Yeah yeah I think so" replied Bree as she took a deep breath.
"I just came here to make one thing clear, if this newbie wolf and his stupid friends EVER step into my territory without permission...I'll kill you both with ease." said Luna as she walked out of the meeting room.
"I'm so sorry, Bree," said Jack apologetically.
"it's fine Jack, I'm fine," said Bree reassuringly.
"but still, I'm sorry," said Jack again.
"it's alright Jack, I'm fine," said Bree as she gave Jack a small smile. everyone in the room started whispering and muttering about what had just happened.
Luna Lucia is the queen of the rouge pack but she still has her rights as a member of the council before she went rogue. She is the queen because she can't be an alpha unless she is granted so by the council or bloodline, so since she's the strongest she labels herself as the queen.
"SILENCE" commanded Jay loudly as he stood up. everyone else quickly shut their mouths and turned their attention to Jay.
"as I said earlier, the pack will take care of this new wolf as long as he respects our laws" said Jay sternly.
A few nods were seen and whispers began to erupt in the crowd. "well I must be leaving now and I hope you guys enjoy yourselves" said Jay as he bowed slightly. Everyone bows back and says goodbye. everyone leaves the council room. as Jack walks out with Bree and Ethan, he thinks of the danger he put himself and his friends in.
Ethan ends up going home,
eventually, Jack and Bree get to Elijah's house. It was the nicest house on the whole estate. it makes sense since his father basically runs the town with his tech company. Jack and Bree walk to the front door and knock on the door, they heard the faint sounds of footsteps from inside followed by the opening of the door, and behind the door is Elijah.
"oh hey guys, come in" said Elijah
The door opens wider and revealing Elijahs beautiful home.
"wow nice place" said Bree admiring her surroundings.
"wait till you see his room" commented Jack.
Elijah laughed while Bree rolled her eyes.
The door swung open and the group entered the living room. Elijah's parents weren't home they were on a business trip so he was free to stay out and play video games.
"so what do I owe the pleasure ?" said Elijah as he sat next to Bree and leaned back in his chair.
"an apology would be nice" said Bree sarcastically.
"oh yeah, no, I'm serious. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that, I was rude and uncalled for" said Elijah honestly.
"thank you" said Bree smiling.
"anytime. now come, have some food and let's talk about the elephant in the room, or should I say wolf?" said Elijah smirking
"wow really smooth" said Bree rolling her eyes "well Bree and I just met a council of wolves. and Bree was attacked by the same red wolf that attacked up at the abandoned house." explains Jack as he opens a pack of chips and throws them into his mouth.
"oh my god, the same one that attacked us??" asked Elijah with widened eyes.
"yeah, turns out she's the queen of
the rouges" explains Jack
"and apparently there is some sort of hierarchy for every pack. Jack isn't exactly in one, but we've been trying to get information about some other packs and so far we've got nothing." explains Bree.
"how have I missed all of this?" asks Elijah shocked.
"well it all just kind of happened.." said Jack still eating.
"and it's not all that's happened, I found out I'm related to a witch! and my necklace belonged to her" said Bree
Elijah raises his eyebrows
"Really?" he questioned
Jack nods
"so can you do magic?" asked Elijah as he paused his game.
"I'm kinda still figuring that part out. However, I have some recipes for different things" said Bree as she pulled out her necklace and showed Elijah.
Elijah grabbed the bracelet and examined it.
"what does that necklace do?" asked Elijah looking back up to Bree.
"It's a special type of talisman, a pendant. as far as I know witches used them to cast spells." said Bree as she takes the pendant back.
"wow..so werewolves and witches are real..what's next vampires?" said Elijah jokingly.
"don't jinx it Eli," said Jack laughing
"so enough about us, how's everything with you Eli?" asks Bree intrigued.
Elijah sighed.
"Well my mom is getting ready to take me away for the summer, it's basically a summer school program since I didn't do good in my exams.." said Elijah defeated.
"Wait, what??" said Jack surprised, he then adds "summer school? sounds like a decent vacation if you ask me. where can I apply?"
"no, don't Jack. you don't have to waste your summer in a summer school," said Elijah
"well any summer without you is a waste mate, so where do I sign up?" said Jack as he dusted off his hands.
"count me in" injected Bree.
They all sign up for the summer school program and end up chilling at Elijah's place.
A couple of weeks went by and everything seemed fine, except for the fact that Luna somehow found out that Bree's pendant could grant her alpha status and power. Jack was training with Ethan every day; Bree would tag along sometimes. Everything felt normal; until the night before they go off to summer school, they decide to watch a movie together in Elijah's living room and sleep over there since they had to leave early, as they pack their bags for the summer school trip.
After they finished packing
Ethan, Bree, and Jack are sitting on the couch as they continue watching their movie. Suddenly, the door swung wide open, and it was none other than Luna.
Bree's neck snaps to look at Luna standing in the doorway
"uhh Jack..we got company" said Bree nervously.
Jack looks over to the entrance and sees that it's Luna. He jumps up and runs towards her;
"what brings you here, Luna?" He asks nervously
"Oh, hey Jack, Bree," she said smiling "well as you must know me and my rouges have been tracking you for a while now..and we finally found you..." Luna says then switching her attention to Bree and says"give me that pendant girl and no one dies".
"so is this the infamous Luna? Queen of rouges? Honestly I expected..more" teases Elijah as he walks over to Bree and Jack.
"watch your tongue human, or I'll rip it out of your skull" snapped Luna
"charming.." said Elijah
"I'm not giving you my pendant Luna..over my dead body" says Bree.
"oh okay, we can arrange that" said Luna as she charges at the doorway but gets flung back onto the driveway.
"WHAT TRECHORY IS THIS?!" shouts Luna
"a barrier spell, courtesy of yours truly," Bree says as she takes a little bow.
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!" screams Luna as she scatters into the dark night.
as she leaves everyone let's out a relieving sigh.
"that was wicked!" shouted Elijah as he jumped around in victory. Jack couldn't help but chuckle at his childish behavior.
"so how did you do that spell?" asks Elijah.
"well I just poured salt at the entrance and used a binding agent then chanted a spell. not the best way but it's the only way I've learned to far" explains Bree.
"still really useful..well done, anyway I'm going to call my mom and let her know I'm leaving tomorrow morning" said Jack as he grabs his phone.
Elijah and Bree leave Jack to call his mom and go and sit on the couch.
"so what else can you do magic-wise?" asks Elijah.
"I could boil your blood if you don't stop asking," says Bree sarcastically.
"ouch, sorry for asking. But seriously though what else?" said Elijah
"well besides being able to cast spells, I can also heal people through touch if they're sick. I haven't actually ever healed someone before, but I've heard about it through my Nan" responds Bree she then adds
"but I just need to find a way to charge my pendant" Bree admits.
"charge? why'd you want to do that?" asks Elijah with a raised brow.
"well the pendant is the only way I could do magic, without it I'm powerless" explains Bree as she picks up the pendant from under her shirt.
"wicked.." said Elijah.
Jack walks back into the living room.
"okay people time to rest, then we leave early in the morning" announced Jack.
"alright" everyone choruses.
"goodnight" smiled Bree.
"goodnight" Elijah and Jack both respond.
Bree lays down on the couch with the pendant in hand, then she closes her eyes and goes into a deep meditative state.
After a few moments, Bree opens her eyes slowly and notices that she's surrounded by stars. She looks up to find a beautiful moon shining right above her head. Then Bree notices that there's something floating in front of her, and it is the moonstone. Bree reaches out for the crystal and holds it between her thumb and forefinger.
Suddenly she wakes up on the couch
"morning love," said Elijah as he waves from across the room looking smug.
"Morning." Bree yawns as she sits up.
She looks outside to see it was still cloudy, and the ground was wet with dew. everyone gets dressed quickly, and starts loading Jack's Jeep with their bags.
"we good to go?" asks Jack.
"yeah let's get going" responds Elijah.
As Jack is about to get in the Jeep Ethan stops him.
"hello mate, you okay?" greeted Ethan.
" hey Ethan, we're going to be out of town for two weeks, everything okay?" asks Jack.
"I strongly advise you don't, if you leave Worrow the packs can't protect you.." said Ethan with concern etched upon his face.
"we will be fine Ethan. It's just two weeks, we won't even be here long and Luna wouldn't dare attack us in the open. I'm sure it'll be okay" said Jack reassuringly.
"yeah mate.." said Elijah agreeing with Jack.
"if you say so, well I guess as long as you're safe that's all that matters" Ethan replies as he shrugs it off.
Then Elijah and Jack start to climb into Jack's Jeep, Bree following behind. As they start driving to the summer school, the clouds begin to clear and the sun is shining brightly.
Jack plays loud music and everyone in the car sings along with it.
They finally arrive at the Summer School, which took 3 hours to get there.
when they got out it was like a summer camp but for skills. Bree Jack and Elijah were escorted to their cabin. their cabin was big and had four beds.
"wait why are there four beds?" asks Bree curiously.
"because of me" says a man's voice coming out of the bathroom
everyone turns to see who spoke; it is a tall man with black hair and brown eyes, wearing a white t shirt and a red varcity jacket and jeans. The man is leaning against the sink with his arm crossed and his legs apart. As he walks towards them he extends his hand for Bree to shake his; Bree hesitantly shakes his hand.
"I'm Elijah," says Elijah.
"I'm Jack," says Jack.
"I'm Bree," says Bree.
"nice to meet you guys, I'm Tobias," says Tobias as he still holds onto Bree's hand which causes her to blush.
As Tobias lets go of Bree's hand he leans against the counter next to Eli and smiles at him. "so where are you three from anyways?" he asks.
"Worrow, where are you?" answers Elijah curiously.
"I'm from Harlem," said Tobias proudly.
"oh okay cool, so are you staying in this cabin?" asks Bree
"I will, but you gotta go to the girls cabin," said Tobias.
"then why are there four beds?" asks Elijah.
"that would be for me mate," said a mysterious male voice coming from the doorway, everyone looks towards the voice and it's the man with jet black hair and dark green eyes. He has light tanned skin and tattoos on his neck; wears a black t-shirt underneath and black pants with a black and white bomber jacket.
he walks further into the cabin and takes a seat at one of the tables.
"I take it you're Damian?" says Tobias.
"yup that would be me, and these here idiots are named Elijah, Jack and Bree?" says Damian as he kicks his feet onto the table and points at each person in turn.
"uhh..how do you know us?" asks Jack
"well because it tells you your cabin mates before you choose a cabin, I just guessed the order," says Damian as he leans his head back and relaxes.
"oh okay.." said Bree
"okay everyone unpacks and I'll get Bree to her cabin," says Tobias, as he stands up from his chair and walks over to Bree. He gently puts his hands onto her shoulders and pushes her forwards.
Damian, Jack and Elijah unpack their bags and settle in the cabin.
They take turns showering. When the boys are finished they grab some food and make their way back outside. Everyone joins the others on the deck and watches the sunset.
Once dinner finishes everyone heads inside to sleep.
Damian and Tobias sleep before Elijah and Jack.
"I got some bad news," says Elijah as he sits on the couch beside Jack.
"what's the bad news Elijah?" asks Jack with concern written all over his face.
"tomorrow is a full moon, Jack.." said Elijah as he looks at Jack.
"oh...well, I'm sure it won't be as bad this time. I found out I'm a full-blooded werewolf and I won't turn on a full moon. Not unless I want to" replied Jack confidently.
" yeah but according to Bree, all your senses will be heightened to the max. you'll feel a rush of aggression.." continues Elijah.
"Well, what am I supposed to do? Besides, I have control over my emotions. Ethan made sure of that. We've been talking about it for weeks now." Jack defends.
"I guess..." says Elijah reluctantly.
"why don't you just relax? Tomorrow is gonna be fine" says Jack reassuringly as he gives Elijah a pat on the back.
"yeah.. you're probably right. I should try to get some more rest" admits Elijah as he grabs the blanket and makes himself comfortable on the couch.
Jack also lies back to the couch and closes his eyes.
Meanwhile, Bree is sitting on her bed trying not to think too much about last nights events with Luna. Bree would lay down on her bed and hold her Pendant really tight and focus and then suddenly Bree was surrounded by little stars and the moon shining above her. she was at the same place she dreamt of the night before.
she scanned her surroundings and found the moonstone directly under a beam of moonlight.
Bree held out her hand with her palm facing the moonstone with the intention to grab it but before she could a voice stopped her.
"Bree Jackson..." said the mysterious woman's voice again.
"who are you?" Bree questioned
"you must accept your destiny"
Bree looked at her Pendant confused.
"accept my destiny?" questions Bree.
"yes," said the woman
"who are you?!" demanded Bree.
"I am Marie magdalene de la Roche," said Marie as she walks into the moonlight.
Bree's eyes widen in shock.
