Chapter 39 Neo was amused. "You are just full of surprises, aren't you?" he asked "I'm starting to worry you can't keep up with me" Artemis replied in an amused town as she slinked away back behind the screen so Naomi could take back her body. Stepping out from behind the screen two minutes later Naomi looked at the stunned faces of everyone. Then doing jazz hands just said "Ta da". Then slipped back into her chair next to Theon's like nothing had happened. "How did you forget to tell me that?" asked Theon "Bloody hell. Have you always been a silver wolf?" "Yeah, I used the same glamour magic I've been using to disguise myself in LA, to hide my wolf. Moon Goddesses orders. This information has to stay in this room. I will be hunted for both my power and the sheer uniqueness of being one of the last of my kind. Until Alex I was the last decendant of the moon goddess and the last Silver wolf and now those titles are his. It will be a heavy burden for him, but I expect everyone in this room to help him." Margot and Marie nodded in agreement. Margot found her voice first. "Naomi we both swear we will do everything and anything to protect you and my grandson. We will never let you down again as long as we live." "I agree" said Marie "but I want you to know I would be saying this even without the things you just told us. You are out family now" Naomi sat there silently watching the two women. She couldn't think too deeply about the meaning behind these women's words, or she was going to break down crying in this room with them. A sense of relief came over her. Naomi didn't realise how tense she had been until she let go of it like she had just done. Feeling it was time for a subject change and wanting to stop dwelling on things Naomi changed the subject to the sickness that was plaguing the pack. The Luna looked flustered. "It's terrible and I want to be out there with the people helping and doing what I can to ease the pain and burdens for families but my children won't let me out of the house" "We've talked about this mom" said Theon in a tone that said this would be the last time they did. "The older you are the more likely you are to get sick, the faster you get decline from it. I know you're not exactly a little old lady, but we are not taking that risk" "I know you're doing it from love Theon, but the people need to see us out there among them, showing them, they're not forgotten by us and we aren't hiding." Margot spoke sense and Naomi agrees. "You have me now" she smiled at the, "I can do that. Being who I come with talents and powers. I may be able to offer the people small forms of comfort in other ways" Naomi offered. The Luna reached over and took Naomi's hand in hers. "You know what the real problem with people's indifference to you was Naomi" the younger woman shook her head, no, surprised By the question. "You were always better than any of them" With those words a tear slid down Naomi's cheek. Maybe it really was time to stop being mad at the pack and just focus on building a new life and a new way forward, So Naomi asked the question she had been avoiding for some time. "How is my brother?"
