Chapter 56 Moon Vine - Part I

• “Nesta?” consciousness slowly pulled into me to the gentle shaking of Anxo. “Wake up. We are here.” His voice was gentle as he tried to wake me up. I don’t know when I fell asleep, but I opened my eyes to find myself on the very familiar road that led to my home. I sat up straight as Anxo loosened his arms around me. I think I had been sleeping on his shoulder for a while now. I pressed my forehead against the cold glass, watching the familiar landscape pass by. The trees, the fields, and the fences, all blurred into a dark and grey blur. I can smell it from miles away. The scent of home. The scent of my pack. The manor looked imposing in the night, like a fortress of power. I could sense the presence of my family, my kin, my alpha.
• As I stared out at the sleeping forest surrounding us, I noticed Erdem glancing at me through the rear-view mirror. I took a sharp breath in when the iron gate of the pack came into my view. The gates were immediately opened for us to enter by two very familiar wolves. I smiled at myself as the car rode down the dirt road that led to the Alpha residence veering from the pitch road.
• I can't believe I am finally home. I have missed this place so much. The manor looked majestic in the moonlight like a fairy tale come true. I could almost smell the roses in the garden, hear the laughter in the hall, and feel the warmth in the fireplace. I eagerly waited to see them again. My parents, my brother, and my friends. They must be overjoyed to have me back.
