“Thanks” I said to her. “No problem. She needs to know her place.” she replies. ‘You are her Superior you don't have to take her crap. She has to listen to you. No matter what you say you are the Alpha/Luna. You are the leader.”
I never thought of it like that. But I guess she is right. When I lived with my parents before they died I wasn't much of a leader. I wasn't a follower either. I was more of a loner. I had a few friends but I was not the center of attention. I don't know if I can be a leader. I don't know when I am supposed to be a leader. How can I be a leader of a werewolf pack? I don't know the first thing about being a werewolf.
And to top it off my grandmother is here telling me i'm the most powerful witch ever to exist. And that I will be the coven leader. I don't know the first thing about being powerful , let alone a witch or half witch. I wish my mom was here so I could talk to her. But I don't have anyone. Not her, not my dad. Who can I talk to about how I am feeling?
I'm scared I'm finding out too much about my family and now some crazy guy wants me to come to him in a month. What should I do? Do I give myself up to him to protect the little bit of family I have left. Do I stay and put them all in danger while I learn how to be powerful? I don't know who to trust.
I want to trust my new friends. I want to trust my family. I want to trust Conor. He says he is my mate. But I don't know the first thing about mates. I have never had a boyfriend. And now I have a guy who worships the ground I walk on. He is so intense I'm not sure what to think. I love having him around me. I love that he keeps my demons away. But I don't know what to think about the whole thing. We now live together. It's moving fast.
I think I will go and try to find my aunt. I think if i can talk to anyone that she will be the one that can help. “Hey, I'll see you guys later. I'm going to find my aunt and talk to her.” I tell everyone. “I'll walk with you,” Conor says. “it's ok i can go alone” i tell him as i walk away. I go to my uncle's office and knock on the door. “Come in,” he says. As I walk in I see he is not alone. “I'm sorry to disturb you Alpha. I didn't know you were busy. I was looking for Luna and i didnt know where to go to find her.” I told him. “ Oh yes , of course she should be in the garden. I'll get someone to take you to her.” he answers me
Then the next thing I know is walking conor. “You called me Alpha?” he said when he walked in. “Yes Conor, can you please show our newest pack member where the gardens are and help her find Luna while I'm in my meeting?” my uncle says. “Yes Alpha. Please follow me, miss.” he says looking at me.
I follow him out and close the door behind us. As we walk out I ask “who are those guys?” “They are other Alphas. From other packs.” he says back. As we walk we are quiet and I enjoy it. I am not a big talker but I enjoy the silence. It is not uncomfortable with him, it's nice. We kept going and came to this beautiful garden with beautiful flowers and scents. It smelled so nice.
We walked till we found my aunt but she was with another woman. “Hi Luna, i was wondering if you have time i would like to talk to you.'' I told her. “ oh yes dear these are just the Luna’s that are here with their Alpha’s they are speaking with Alpha Rob about the new threat.” she answers. “Please join us. Both of you. It would be nice to get the input of some young blood.” “ we would love to.” conor answers. “But if you ladies dont mind i think i will go stand with the guards and keep an eye out on your safety.”
We sat around and talked for hours. I got to learn a lot from them all. I learned that all packs are run differently but still the same in lots of ways. “So Bonnie, tell me how old you are?” Luna Jane asks. “Well Luna Jane i just turned 18” i answered her. “Oh that's wonderful. How was your first shift?” she asks. “ It was painful. But I got through it in one piece.`` I told her. “Did you find your mate yet?” she asks. “No ma’am i have not.” I told her. Whale looking at conor.
We spoke about not telling any of the visiting Alphas and Lunas that I had found my mate or who I am. My uncle gave me a link to explain it to me. Just in case things go south. So when I was asked I told them that I haven't found my mate. I felt bad about lying. But I understand the safety of keeping it to myself.
“Oh well. Then you must meet my son. He is the next in line to be alpha. And he hasn't found his mate, maybe you could be mates.” she says. But I feel off with her. I feel like she knows something more than she is telling or saying to us. He makes me feel like she is hiding something. But I have no idea what.
“Well thank you so much for the chat Lunas. But it was nice meeting you all. I hope to see you all again another time.” I told them. As I walk away I am joined by conor. “I need to go find my grandmother. Like now ``I tell him quietly. We walk fast and go find her. “Is everything ok? You look like something is bothering you.” my grandmother asks as we walk up to almost outta breath.
“I'm not sure I feel like Luna Jane is hiding something. I got a strong feeling when I was talking to her. But i'm not sure what it means.'' I told her. “How strong was the feeling? And what did it feel like?” she asks. “It was strong enough to make my head hurt. And it felt like I had butterflies in my chest like something was telling me that everything she was saying was a lie.” i say. “ What did she say?” grandmother asked. “She was telling me about her son and I felt like she knew about what was going on here and about me.” I told her. “Well I will think about this and maybe cast a few spells and find out more.” she tells me. “Thank you”
