Healing His Broken Luna.... Chapter 69

Chapter 25 - Family

It was just before sunrise when I felt the bed moving and stirred awake. Dimitri headed into the bathroom and I heard the shower turn on.

"Girl, what are you doing? Follow his sexy ass in there! He might need someone to help soap up his back." Rae barked at me.

I rolled out of bed and pulled off the shirt I was sleeping in. The shower had started to steam up and I stepped right in with Dimitri. He smile at me and I saw his eyes drop down at my chest making me blush. His lips met mine and the warm tingles pulsed through me. I moved my hands around the back of his neck to pull him closer and deepen the kiss.

"Goddess I want you." He moaned lifting me up with one arm and I wrapped my legs around his waist.

"I want you too." I replied. I could feel my wolf panting for his as he kissed and licked up and down my neck. He stopped for a moment and let out a frustrated groan.

"Alexander just linked me, Kosta's man has left the airport with your brother and cousin. They should be here in about thirty minutes; we'll have an hour to explain what's happening and eat breakfast before we leave for the marina."

"Breakfast! Oh no, I forgot about breakfast." I had a moment of panic. I'm sure Knox and Clair will be hungry, and I hadn't planned anything.

"I asked Niko to pick some up." Dimitri told me.

I watched him rinse the shampoo from his hair and admired his magnificently chiseled chest. "Keep looking at me like that and we won't be going anywhere today." Dimitri grinned.

We finished with our shower, got dressed and packed up our belongings that will be going to the island with us. The island was about two hours away with the high speed boat and was owned by Dimitri. He wasn't sure how long or short our stay on the island would be, it all depended on the outcome of today's rescue mission and developments. Greece has nearly six thousand islands ranging from tiny to mega sized, only a few hundred are inhabited. Being on a private island will make it very difficult for anyone to find us.

I was pacing the living room waiting for them to arrive. Dimitri sat in the leather chair watching me and Odessa was in the kitchen making coffee. I was worried about Knox calling our parents right away and wasn't sure how he would react when he meets my mate. I heard the elevator doors open in the hallway and Dimitri walked over to the door to open it.

"Eeekkkk!" I heard Clair squeal as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Clairy Fairy!" I squealed back and hugged her. It was my nickname for her because she always wore her black hair in a shoulder length A line cut which reminded me of fairies.

"Hey trouble." Knox smiled and gave me a hug.

"This is a pretty fancy dorm you're living in." Clair said admiring the room and views.

"This isn't the dorm." I laughed.

"Are you going to introduce us to your friends?" Knox asked eyeing the other Alpha in the room.

"Yes, but you can't tell mom and dad yet." I said.

"Tell mom and dad what?" Knox looked confused and Clair was trying to contain her joy for me.

"This is Alpha Dimitri Theodorus, from the Olympus Blood Moon Pack and this is his sister Odessa Theodorus. Alpha, this is my oldest brother and future Alpha of Crescent Moon Pack, Knox LaRue and my cousin Clair LaRue Taylor." They shook hands,

"Knox, Alpha Dimitri is my mate." I added.

"You have GOT to be kidding me!" Knox looked at me wide eyed.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"First Peter, now you!" Knox said.

"You'll have to excuse my cousin; he's got mate envy." Clair giggled.

"My brother had to wait eight years before he finally found Raven. Who knows, your mate could be on the opposite side of the world." Odessa told Knox.

"Well Knox, now that you're on the opposite side of the world, look into Odessa's eyes, she might be your mate." I said laughing at their wide eyed embarrassed stare. I knew Knox couldn't resist. He turned his face and looked at Odessa, they both laughed at each other, but nothing happened.

The elevator door dinged, and Dimitri opened the front door again. Niko walked in holding a large bag of take out in one hand and eating a Gyro with the other hand. It's a good thing Niko is a wolf because if he was human he wouldn't be able to maintain his physique with as much as he eats.

"You're always eating! And where did you find Gyros this early in the morning? I thought you were getting breakfast!" Odessa said.

"It's okay, we love Gyros, plus it's dinner time back at home." Clair smiled and Niko stood frozen on the spot.

"Oooh, I could go for some Gyros." Knox said practically salivating as the room filled with the smell of delicious Gyros.

"Hello Clair?" I called out to Clair who was smiling and frozen like a statue.

"Good grief Niko, you've got tzatziki sauce on your face." Odessa said grabbing the bag full of Gyros sandwiches from Niko's arm.

"MINE." Niko growled and we knew he wasn't talking about the bag full of Gyros.

We stood quiet for a moment watching Niko and Clair embrace. Niko buried his face in her neck, and she giggled. Seeing them together made my heart happy. They were perfect for each other.

"OH COME ON!! ARE YOU FOR REAL?" Knox seemed to be staring up towards the sky as if asking the question to the Moon Goddess.

"Congratulations to the both of you. Clair, we are honored to have you as our Beta female at Olympus Blood Moon." Dimitri smiled.

That's right! Now that Niko and Clair are mates, I would have my cousin and best friend with me in Greece. I was starting to feel bad for Knox, he's dreamed of finding his mate since he was a pup. He wants to be someone's knight in shining armor like my dad was, although my dad still swears that it was my mom who rescued him. Which reminds me, we need to fill them in on Eros.

"Let's sit and eat. We have some important business to take care of and need your help." I said to Knox and his head peeked up in interest.

Dimitri turned to close the front door and Knox noticed the same crescent moon mark we had on the back of Dimitri's neck.

"You're elemental?" Knox asked out loud.

"I am. Please sit down, we need your help with your element." Dimitri motioned to the table and we all moved to sit.

I explained what happened with Eros and how he became obsessed with me. How Eros figured out that I was Dimitri's mate, had a human girl abducted by accident and how I set him on fire. Then I told him about my friends from Alpha Georgios' pack, and how Alec was abducted. Dimitri explained the history behind it all and his father's involvement.

"You're the one they call the Beast!" Knox said. I can't believe he actually said that out loud to Dimitri. I was a little worried about how he would receive that comment and wanted to kick my brother under the table.

"My wolf is abnormally larger than any Alpha and strong, I'm a descendant of King Lycaon. The reputation was built by distorted rumors because of my wolfs size, my earth element, my shifting so early and beating my father to become Alpha."

"My family vacationed in Greece a few years ago, my father actually wanted to meet with you. The shifter's council typically seeks out the strongest pack Alpha's in each region, you should have been selected but they picked Alpha Georgios instead, because you had a dangerous reputation."

"What better way to keep others away from your pack. No one would dare challenge or attack someone they believe to be a ruthless and dangerous Alpha." Dimitri said.

"Wait, you have the earth element?" Clair asked and looked at Knox. I knew exactly what they were thinking. They were thinking about the prophecy.

"Yes." Dimitri answered.

"He can cause earthquakes, split the ground open, bring down trees, cause landslides and other cool stuff." Niko said excitedly.

"Just the earth element?" Clair asked.

"No one has more than one, do they?" Niko asked confused.

"Our father has water and our mother has fire. My twin and I have water, but Raven has both." Knox said.

"So, the Moon Goddess has paired two elemental wolves together before!" Odessa said.

"Yes, except our parents were second chance mates. Our mother was paired with our Uncle Ranger at first, he did not have a gift. It's a long story, but after he rejected her, she found our father." Knox explained.

"There's an old prophecy about it, well actually I guess it would technically be a future prophecy. Our parent's cousin is Alexis Ivy and she foretold-"

"THE ALEXIS IVY?" Odessa asked wide eyed and looking at Dimitri. We know her!

"Tell me about the prophecy." Dimitri asked.

"We should discuss the prophecy later; we've got to get going." I reminded them.

"What the hell are we waiting for, we can control three of the four elements, let's go save our friends." Niko said.

"Well that's the problem actually, I've only had my gifts for three months and haven't trained as much as I probably should. Knox, we need your help with a yacht and your water talents." I said.

"I'm in!" Knox said.

"Thank you Alpha Knox." Dimitri said and I could feel Knox swell with pride because Dimitri addressed him with the Alpha title even though Knox had not taken over Crescent Moon yet.

"I'm in too." Clair said.

"No you're not" Niko growled, and we all laughed at his possessiveness over his new mate and his strong urge to keep her safe.

"We've got plenty of men in place already. Clair can wait with Odessa in the car nearby with a mated warrior." Dimitri emphasized the word mated to calm Niko down.

"But I've got Alpha blood in me and I'm one of our strongest warriors. I'm the next Beta of Crescent Moon." Clair tried to justify.

"Then you'd be perfect to help guard Odessa. My father wouldn't mind capturing her to hurt me. I would greatly appreciate if you stayed with her, she's one of the most important people in my life." Dimitri managed to coax Clair into agreeing. I was certain Odessa could easily defend herself and had probably trained her whole life.

"Raven, Knox, and I will go out on the water to get closer with the fishing boat charter we've secured."

"Raven, do you have your waterproof lighter with you?" Knox asked.

"What's she going to do with a lighter?" Odessa asked.

"Roast some bad wolves." Knox smiled.
