Alpha's Mysterious Luna.

12 Seraphine

“Oh no. Alexander, I'm so sorry.” I say. He rubs his face and looks around the room, surveying the damage. I lower my head, realizing not only what I had just done, but also everything that Alexander had seen. It was worse than I imagined.

It was absolutely my fault the vampire had come here. I am an orphan. A broken witch, loved only by my sisters. I can't control my magic. I'm not even in my own time. I just blew up half of the screening room, and Alexander saw all of it.

I sob, tears slide down my face and I say quietly “Now you know what I am Alexander. Do you still want me to be your Luna?” The Doctor and Mrs. Bennett look at each other, and without a word they slip out of the room leaving us alone.

“You are our Luna. Everything I saw, everything I felt, was amazing. You are Amazing. I know you, Seraphine." I smile and exhale deeply at the sound of him saying my name.

He continues, "I felt your joy and love for you sisters. I watched how you treated them. I saw how you did everything you could for them. I watched you annihilate an entire army of vampires to protect them. I felt your pain when you had to leave them. Seraphie my Love, If you can love this pack even half as much as you loved your sisters, then we are all lucky.” He says and sits down in one of the chairs.

He pulls me onto his lap. He wraps his arms around me and I lean against his chest and listen to the rhythm of his heart, letting it calm me. At some point I fall asleep and only wake, because my stomach is growling painfully. I'm still in Alexander's lap and he is also asleep, breathing deeply.

I brush back the hair from his forehead, and stare at him. How can I love him so much already? I kiss him gently. His eyes flutter open and he smiles. “You know, I’ve always been attracted to older women.” Alexander says smirking.

“Oh really?” I ask him, and kiss him again. He puts his hands on my back and pulls me closer to him. Wanting this to continue but unable to stop the anger in my stomach, I break away from him and ask “Alexander, when was the last time you ate? I really need food.”

I stand and he stands up too, his eyes glazing over for a second. “Mrs. Leoni is down in the kitchen preparing for breakfast, it's early and everyone is still sleeping, but she always has something made. I'm starving too. Let's go down." He says and scoops me up walking out of the room.

By the time I am able to protest, he has already run down the stairs and into the kitchen, depositing me onto one of the kitchen stools.

“Okay Mr. Alpha, but I’d like to walk to my next meal if you don't mind.” I say pretending to frown at him.

Malekai comes walking into the kitchen, and says, “Yeah not all of us are that strong, so please don’t expect the shuttle service every morning for breakfast Luna.” He winks at me.

“Hey don't be getting cheeky with my lady bro.” Alexander says to him jokingly, smacking him on the back. Malekai looks at me and smiles. “Sorry dude, from what I hear, she is too old for me anyway.” He says loudly.

I start laughing and Alexander raises his eyebrows at Malekai. "Angie's mom told us. Sorry man, you know news travels fast around here.” Malekai says.

“That's okay, from what I saw in the screening room she could barbeque you with a lightning bolt if you get out of line baby.” I hear a female voice say, as a girl I haven't met yet comes walking into the kitchen.

“Hi,” she says to me excitedly and extends her hand. “I'm Angie, your new best friend.” I look at her for a moment. She's a little bit taller than me, with light brown hair and bright amber eyes. She has really pink cheeks and a spray of freckles across her nose. I reach out to shake and she pulls me into a hug.

“Hey, I thought I am your new best friend?” Malekai asks me.

“Your first diplomatic job as Luna,” Alexander says to me. “Settle the argument. Who is your new best friend?”

I tip my head to the side thinking. I smile and say, “Alexander there is nothing to settle. They come as a pair. So they're both my new best friend.” Everyone looks at me and laughs.

Mrs. Leoni comes walking in and sets a plate in front of me. “Perfectly diplomatic, and that is why she is your Luna.” She says and walks right back out.“ I gasp looking at the plate.

"And this is why Mrs. Leoni is in charge of the kitchen.” I say stuffing a fork full of eggs into my mouth. Everyone laughs again.

Alexander grabs a piece of bacon off of the plate and stuffs it in his mouth.” We look like two ravenous animals standing over this poor plate when Mrs. Leoni comes back with a plate of sausage and a plate of toast.

“You are an Angel, Mrs. Leoni. I would give you a halo but at this point I might blow you up.” I say munching on a sausage link.

Mrs Leoni frowns and says, “Oh my dear, it can’t be all that bad.”

I frown and tell her, “At this point I only have two speeds, low and overdrive. I can heal it, or blow it up. Wait I can do this too,” I raise my hand to the flower vase on the counter in front of us, and say "Excresco."

The flowers in the vase open all the way and sprout thick roots out of the bottom of the stems, growing entirely new plants. “Holy Crap, that's cool!" Angie says.

I wrinkle my nose and look around the room. I swear I keep smelling cinnamon. Like really strong. “What is it? Alexander asks me curiously.

I frown and say, “Do I smell, cinnamon? Maybe it’s- no, there it is again, it's definitely cinnamon.” I look at Alexander.

He frowns and then says, “Wait, I smell it now too. Maybe Mrs. Leoni is cooking with it?”

I walk around the counter next to Angie and I realize right away that its her. I tell her, “Its you Angie. You smell like a cinnamon stick.”

Angie frowns turning to Malekai and asks him, “How can she possibly know?”

I look at them both, my forehead wrinkled again and say, “How can I know what?”

Angie gasps, her eyes widen and she says, “I didn’t say that out loud Luna.” The room goes silent for a few moments as Angie and Malekai stare at me speechless.

I frown at her again and say “Huh?” Malekai turns to Alexander completely dumbfounded.

Malekai says, “Dude, what the Hell, you didn’t tell us she can hear us! How can she hear us?!”

I look at Malakai and laugh. I say, “It’s funny when you call him dude.”

Alexander turns to me and says “Look at me my love, none of us are speaking out loud. How is it you can hear them talking to each other though?"

Alexanders face is scrunched up in a strange frown.

I call out to Malekai’s mom. “Hey Mrs. Leoni you think you can help us out here? I really know nothing on this subject yet.” I say.

Mrs. Leoni comes walking over to the counter with a pitcher of O.J. and some glasses. She smiles at me and says, “It's quite simple, my dears. She is your Luna, the people in this room have already accepted her unconditionally. You all have already begun to love her, and I suspect she loves all of you as well. You want her to hear you, so she does. However the mind link highjacking is new to me, so on that subject I have no information.”

Mrs Leoni stares at me for a moment, smiling. She pats my cheek and returns to work. As she walks away I concentrate hard on the back of her head and she stops for a moment and says, “You are quite welcome Luna.”

I smile and say “Seraphine. That's my name. I'm Seraphine." Mrs. Leoni smiles as she leaves the room.

Angie comes to me and hugs me. “I’ll just keep calling you bestie.” she says happily, slipping her arms through mine and leaning against me.

``Hey Angie?” I ask her curiously.

“Yes bestie?” she replies drinking a glass of orange juice.

“Why do you smell like cinnamon?” I finish my question and stand next to her patiently waiting for her to answer.

Malekai looks at Angie and smiles. “Because, bestie. I'm pregnant!” she exclaims happily.
