New Hope

Atasha's Point of View

Peter brought us to his house, and he then asked us to carry our bags. He was still acting out like he was serving Elijah as a Montreal. He didn’t change at all. However, it surprises me that he knew all along that Astrid was here.

I spent my days studying for my test as a luna, all the way until I took my exam and I met him for the first time in the barn to train me with the horses. He knew all along that Astrid was here in the Crimson Moon territory. If he told us that my sister was here right before that training, Possibly, this should not happen at all.

I sat down on the wooden chair and looked around at his place. I saw some family pictures and I was surprised to see Margaux in the picture. On that day, I found out that Peter was part of the Deveraugh clan. On that same day, I knew that the Moon Goddess had answered my prayers. We found someone that could help us stop Zach and Astrid’s ceremony.

But I know it wouldn’t be easy, especially since he’s part of the Deveraugh clan. He may now be biased towards my sister, who is now Trisha.

"Astrid Greene, is that her full name?" Peter asked for the second time around after I shared my family background back in the Silver Moon Pack.

"Yeah, it’s a small family. We’re not wealthy and we live in a small house. I was living a normal life with her and I thought that my sister truly loved me, but I guess I was wrong. I had looked up to her before, but she had changed. "

Peter's face then saddened and he poured some tea into his cup and also to Elijah, who was silent all through our conversation. He didn’t speak or anything after I told him that I refused to go back to Devon’s place. He was probably upset about that.

"My father was considered a hero in the Silver Moon Pack. At first, he believed that I was cursed, but I think that he did that to me because he cared so much for the entire pack. He was also trying to protect me. "

"So you’re not cursed?" Peter asked curiously. I then explain to him from the beginning who I truly was.

I began by telling him who am I when I was a kid and my perspective of my relationship with Astrid. At this time, telling him my history, make me reflect on what I'm as a sister to Astrid.

Many failures that I committed were also evident when I was a kid. I didn't stand up on my both feet and I only followed other people's advice, and the role models because that's how they taught the little kids.

I looked up to Astrid because she did amazingly in school and also she got skills, hobbies, and most importantly can shift into a werewolf that I wasn't able to do so when I hit eighteen. I became so depressed and that solidified my admiration for my sister. Because I'm hoping that I could be just like her.

She was able to shift and at the same time, she found her mate. Alex. I admitted to myself later in my life that I was envious of her. Not envious that I wish her terrible things but envious or jealous that I was wishing that I could be just like her.

"Then I found out that she betrayed me. Her plan all along is to make me the cursed she-wolf on that prophecy from the witch mountain."

Peter then now pour liquor into his teacup after hearing my story. Elijah then on the other hand was just listening and not saying a single word.

"So Atasha, the witch put a curse on you? Isn't what you said exactly right? It was not at all something that was inherited! It really does seem like the story of Melanie, my niece, who gets caught in the witch's conditions and has to deal with them. Poor little kid. "

"Indeed, you have it right. I really hope that this clarifies that I will not be inheriting any sort of curse. It indicates that I do have the ability to change. I also come to discover that Elijah is, in fact, my life partner. We're indeed mates After the curse had been lifted from my body. So I am deserving to be Elijah's wife and there's no other that would take the position to be the Alpha of this pack, only Elijah and me as her Luna!"

"Atasha, you are really fascinating.  We have a responsibility to safeguard the territory of the Crimson Moon Pack. I am aware that what I did was unacceptable. Therefore, it is imperative that you preserve the Montreal bloodline. Even if it's just me, I'll have to answer for putting the land at risk. I would do it in order to help you guys out. We ought not to give Astrid the opportunity to lead the pack. Zach is the target of her deception, and we are all aware that this isn't in the pack's best interest."

I paused for a moment and tried to calm my emotions before asking, Is it true that Peter is now on our side? My attention was drawn to Elijah, but he maintained his silence. After that, I take Peter's hand in mine and express my gratitude to him for his confessions.

"Peter, I realize that this would be quite challenging for you, especially given the role that you play in this pack. You are a Deveraugh, and knowing the repercussions, it would be quite difficult for you; nonetheless, have faith that I will not waste your sacrifice in any way. I will see to it that you and your family are protected from harm in any situation that may arise."

Then, after taking a few deep breaths, Peter began to tear up once more. I wrapped my arms around him and vowed to Peter and Elijah that I would do all in my power to protect the land that belonged to the Crimson Moon pack from being taken over by my sister.o Peter's hand and thank him on his confession.

"Peter, I know this would be so difficult for you especially your position on this pack. You're a Deveraugh and knowing the consequences, it would be so hard for you but trust me, I'll not waste  your sacrifice. I'll make sure that you'll be safe that your family will be safe."

Peter then took a deep breath and tearing up once again. I embraced him and making a promise to Peter and Elijah that I would do everything to save the land of the Crimson Moon pack against my sister.
