ARAIA'S P.O.V.
"I got news for you." Elena, a beta that's serving directly to me, approached me.
"What is it?" I focused on the documents that I'm working with.
I trust that what she's about to tell me is important because that's how she usually is, she will approach me if there's an important matter that I need to know as soon as possible, that's why I am allowing her to come in without questioning her.
She placed a map in front of me.
I scanned it and saw that it is a map of our neighboring kingdom.
"What's with the map?"
Don't tell me she wants to go there? But she doesn't have to show me the map though, that's not necessary. I'll give her permission if she really wants to go.
She pointed out a specific area.
"This is where you'll want to go as soon as you hear the reason."
Hmm?
"Really?" What made her think like that?
What's with this place? I think about it badly but I couldn't recall anything related to me and that place.
"Tell me." I told her.
She nodded her head and finally said, "Someone in here can help you get back to Earth."
"..."
W-what?
"For real?" I can't believe it! It's like my mind's having a hard time processing what she just said.
"Is it really true?" I stood up in disbelief.
She nodded her head again.
My eyes landed on the area she's pointing.
It isn't too far from here, I think, I can get there in less than a week, with the help of my power to transform.
I asked Elena about it, about how she learned this and the accuracy of her news.
Elena was one of my trusted close friends here. We've been friends since I became their Luna. I once told her everything about me and how I came from a different world called 'Earth'.
At first,I thought that she wouldn't believe me because that's really impossible, but after telling her everywhere, she believes me and never questions me.
After that, our relationship solidified more, thus, our friendship became stronger.
Whenever I have problems I will seek help from her and that goes the same for her. She will tell me her problems and I will do my best to help her.
Sometimes, I wonder why I am so comfortable when I am around her because I easily told her about my feelings, and some facts about me.
Whenever I am telling her stories about how it was hard for me the first time I was transported into this world, because I am clueless about werewolves, she would laugh at me and would congratulate me for coming this far and surviving this harsh world.
I would just laugh about it too.
Pastor, she told me everything that she knows about that person who can help me. I immediately arranged a party that would accompany us to go there.
I fixed myself and went to my husband's village to bring the news to him.
Our son, Kurt is there as well.
Kurt It's always there at his father's village because he surprisingly gathers some friends there compared to my village. We don't actually have any idea about it, we are just surprised that one day he told us that he has lots of friends and when he became the Alpha, he would take those friends of his as his underlings.
It's amazing and frightening at the same time because being the leader of a group here even those of a child's play, the leader should be stronger than anyone else, and it's frightening me because there are lots of kids who would love to be the leader and they might challenge my son on a duel to kick him out of his current position, that's what I'm afraid of.
But as for Alejandro's advice, he told me that he is teaching our son self defense and some things that he should know about the position that he is aiming for. He also assured me that our son is not weak and we should be thankful that he has a strong resolve despite his age.
Alejandro told me that we should watch over him first before we take any necessary action.
I am against it at first but looking at how Kurt cares for his friends, I am somehow moved.
I'll let him do what he wants while we're educating him on the side.
A few Beta was with me, when we arrived at Alejandro's village, I already spotted my son playing with the other kids his age.
They aren't fighting, they are also having muscle fights or wrestling.
Alejandro told me that it is normal for werewolves to do that because that will also help them to measure their strengths.
"Mom!" Kurt ran towards me.
"Hi baby!" I hugged him tightly.
"Why are you here, mom?"
"I'm going to your dad, sweetie. Do you know where he is?"
He told me where Alejandro was and continued playing with the kids.
I went to the garden until Alejandro as soon as I stepped on the place.
He is talking to Geronimo and it seems like they are having a serious conversation by looking at their serious faces.
I am. hesitant to approach them but Alejandro saw me, he stood up and went towards where I am.
"Hi…" He planted some kisses on my cheeks.
"Did I disturb you guys, by any chance?"
He shook his head and invited me to their table.
"Hi Luna!" Geronimo waves his hand.
"Hello Geronimo, how are you?"
We talked for a whe about their day and some updates about their work before I get to the main point of going here.
"Elena told me that there's someone who can help me go back to Earth."
Alejandro was shocked to hear it, I told him everything I know and my plan.
I also told him about the party that I am arranging that will accompany us with our trip.
"Alright, let's go there." Alejandro supported me.
We talked about my plan and he immediately arranged his schedule so he could accompany me. After talking about it, I decided that I will wait for him to finish his work because even though he is working here, he and our son are living in my village.
I didn't assist him with his work anymore because Geronimo was here to assist him, so I watched over our son while waiting.
We went home after a few hours and started to pack out things that we'll use on the trip.
**
"Let's depart!" Alejandro ordered his men.
We started our trip as early as today, contrary to what I wanted, Alejandro told me that it is better to ride a carriage rather than running on our wolf form.
I can't help it because I am just too excited to know a way to go back to Earth.
So in the end we are riding a carriage with a group of his men and mine.
Kurt's not with us, we decided that he should just stay at home because he's too young to go on a trip and we're not going there for vacation, we'll return as soon as we're finished with our objective there.
Thankfully, he didn't cry, and he understands us. He's really mature for his age.
So, in exchange for not crying, I promised him that I would bring a lot of souvenirs from that country.
He gave me a list of the things that he wanted and most of them are weapons, I'm not surprised anymore to be honest.
"Are you alright?" Alejandro asks me.
I smiled at him and rested my head on his shoulder.
"I hope we'll get an answer this time."
"I am hoping for that too…"
Alejandro is aware how I really wanted to go back to Earth, not because I don't want to hear anymore but because I want to see my mother who raised me and my friends who are like my siblings.
It's been a few years since I disappeared, I am not sure if they still remember me but regardless of that I still want them to know that I am safe and I am sorry that I chose to stay here.
I know that my decisions were based on what I want but I'm still feeling a bit guilty because I love my friends so much.
If this trip succeeds and I find a way to go back to Earth, next, I will find a way to be able to go back and forth. Who knows if I can bring my friends and my mother here, right?
Let's just hope…
We rarely stop to rest, we're just making a stop over whenever it is dark or some of our men are tired already.
We're really making this trip as quick as possible.
We are also thankful that we haven't encountered any danger while we're here traveling inside the forest. Also we are fully equipped and we're also strong, it might delay our trip if we encounter enemies.
And because we are quite fast and careful we have arrived at Spaid Kingdom safe and sound.
Elena was the one who sent a message to the man she referred to as the one who'll help me beforehand, all we have to do is to go there.
Elena guided us and it just took us a few hours before arriving at the man's house.
"This is too shabby…" Geronimo whispered.
I saw Alejandro punch his shoulder before telling him to shut his mouth.
Alejandro held my hand before he knocked on the door.
A few minutes later, an old man opened the door.
My heart pounded like crazy, I suddenly felt nervous now that I am here, realization just hit me that I might find a way to go back to Earth this time.
"Are you Alpha Alejandro and Luna Araia?" He asks.
I nodded my head.
"Sorry to come with a short notice…" I said.
He smiled at us and let us in.
Only I and Alejandro went inside, although Geronimo and Elena are against it because it might be dangerous for us to go inside without any guard, Alejandro insisted that we'll go with just the two of us.
"You may sit there." The old man pointed at the couch.
Holding each other's hand, we sat there quietly.
"Others called me Tony." The old man said.
He is preparing something, the inside of this house is simple, it's a bungalow style so the kitchen isn't too far away from where we are.
His house is indeed old, you can see cracks from everywhere and some dirt on the wall. However, it is pleasing in the eyes, there's something in this house that'll make you comfortable because everything just feels so balanced.
Even though his stuff inside isn't new, they do go with each other well…
No one's talking while he is preparing something in the kitchen, all we can hear is the sound coming from his utensils while mixing something.
Although I'm comfortable, I'm still nervous…
Will he really help us? Does he really know a way to go back to Earth?
After a while, he sat Infront of us and handed us a cup of coffee.
"I apologize that this is all I can offer…" he said.
"Oh- no! You don't actually have to do this since we're the ones who need something from you…"
He smiled at us again and said, "I'll do my best to be in your help."
We introduced our names to each other although he knew our names already, he also asked us if we needed to rest first before we talked because we went straight here from our trip but we refused.
In the end, we decided to talk about transportation now.
"You're in the right place." He said.
I gulped.
"I know a way to transport someone to another world."
