The Moon and The Ocean novel Chapter 36

OCEAN'S POV:-

I sensed someone around. That was when I looked up. It was alpha Zeus. He sat beside me and patted my head like a big brother.

Alpha Zeus: What is wrong? First you ran away like you did not like Redford and now you are crying like a baby. I know something is wrong with you. Tell me what is it?

He asked me in a worried tone. I could not stop myself anymore. I broke into sobs and started telling him everything. I told him that I was happy but everything changed as I had that nightmare. I told him everything I had seen in that nightmare. By the end of the whole story, my hiccups were nowhere to stop. My sobs became louder.

Alpha Zeus: Your job is done here, Ocean. Leave the rest upon me. Go back inside and tell everyone that you had a horrible vision and because of that you ran out. Trust me, I will do everything to keep you and Moon safe. Will you trust me, little sister?

He asked me and I nodded my head. I wiped my tears off of my face and forced a small smile on my face.

Alpha Zeus: That's the strong she-wolf I know. Now go back in and don't tell anyone what you saw. Are we understood?

He asked me again and I again nodded my head. I stood up and went back inside.

Derek: Ah! There she is. She is back. Come here sweetie.

Derek said in a loving tone. I smiled cheekily and stepped into the kitchen. But instead of going to Derek, I went towards Master Redford.

Ocean: I apologise for my behavior earlier. I had a vision that made me behave rudely. Will you forgive me Master Redford?

I asked him with a puppy face I always made whenever I would apologise to anyone. He laughed out loud seeing my puppy face then he stood up. He pulled me in a fatherly hug.

Master Redford: who will not forgive such a cute little thing. Of course I will forgive you, but on one condition.

He replied to me and I frowned. He broke the hug and I gave him a confused look.

Ocean: What is the condition?

I asked him in a low tone. He chuckled and patted my head.

Master Redford: The condition is, you will never call me Master Redford again. From now on, like Moon, you will call me Gramps.

Ocean: Do you know what day is today?

I whispered softly and he looked at me. He frowned hearing my question. He kept quiet for a good minute then he shook his head.

Moon: It's Friday, why? What happened?

He replied and I sniffed again. I buried my face in the crock of his neck.

Ocean: And what was on Friday, Moon?

I asked him and broke the hug. He looked into my eyes and tried to remember. Then it hit him. He remembered the reason behind my panic. His eyes widened as it hit him.

Moon: Oh shit! I forgot and now we are doomed. It's your first full moon.

He replied in a tone that hinted his panic as well.
