My Irreplaceable Luna

Chapter 9, feeling loved

Anna's pov

8.26 am

I woke up feeling different, at first I didn't remember where I was and blinked my eyes hard trying hard to remember. Just then I remembered and I let out a smile, the feeling of being away from the pack I grew in was the best feeling in the world.

I got up from the bed to get a better look at my new room, everything was heavenly. The beddings, reading table, wardrobe and lastly the space which I have never had before as my previous room was more like a*****e with items packed at a corner.

“Ava, what do you think", I asked my wolf

“This is our true home, Anna and we'll be fine", Ava replied excitedly

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and I went to answer it.

“Good morning Anna" Esmeralda greeted me with broad smiles and I wondered if she is always ready to give out this broad smile and I loved it.

Like they say, smile is contagious. I couldn't resist reciprocating the smile and greeting her accordingly.

“Good morning Esme, please come in" , I stepped aside for her to enter and together we sat on the bed.

“Your breakfast should be here any moment, I came to see how you're doing and thank goodness I'm in my off days, I hope you are doing fine now" she asked me with her face laced with concern,

“ I'm fine Esme, thank you again for last night "....

“ Oh stop it Anna, like I told you , you're part of us now and besides you are now the sister I never had, so anything I can do to make sure you are comfortable, I will do so"

I gave her a warm embrace, all my life I have wished to be called a sister, wished to be loved and now I feel so emotional, and when she hugged me back, I let out a cry. All the emotions I have buried came rushing and I hugged her tighter.

“ It's alright Anna, don't cry again, you are in safe hands now and we will be here for you" Esmeralda consoled me, cupping my face into her hands . “ I will like you to meet mama, she's in her room"

“Wait, what? Your mom?" I asked sniffing my nose, looking scared

“????, mom doesn't bite, She has been asking me since yesterday if you have not arrived", she replied while laughing,

“so what should I do" this time I was already worried if she will accept and love me like her daughter did,

“ Don't worry, I will take care of that. We'll start with your hair, so you'll come to the bathroom with me, I got some Shampoo and conditioner for you, let's wash and detangle this hair of yours" she playfully rubbed my hair like a child and I obeyed without delay.

“So my hair will be pampered today" I asked happily as I rushed to the bathroom with Esmeralda following behind, just then a knock came and Esmeralda went to answer it

“ It must be the cook, I asked her to bring your breakfast personally ",

*opens the door* “Thank you Geraldine, I will take it from here" I heard her talk to the woman at the door.

After placing my food on the table she returned quickly. I had taken chair from the room earlier cause my hair needed to be detangled first, so I sat down and waited for her.

Esmeralda's pov

Mom had requested to see my brother's mate and I knew I had to make her look presentable. Not actually for my mother but for the pack members that might see her. I would not want her to receive any form of embarrassment from anyone especially those girls wishing my brother would notice them. So I have to make sure she looks very pretty most especially her matted hair that needed special care.

After I brought her breakfast,I headed to the bathroom to take care of the business that actually brought me.

I started with the back, I applied a lot of moisturizer to make it easier for me.

With determined expression, I took on the task of separating Anna's matted hair. My fingers were deft and quick, yet gentle as I worked through the tangled mess. Despite Anna's discomfort, she endured it all and soon i had the knots unraveling.

Then I brushed it before finally washing the hair which Shampoo. I had to shampoo it thrice before it was clean and then I applied the conditioner before finally washing it off.

I took her back to the room and she sat in front of her dressing mirror with a towel on her neck to prevent her dress from drenching. With the help of a hand dryer I dried her hair and trimmed the ends before applying coconut oil judiciously before styling it. Her curly black hair became so lustrous,beautiful and soft,with the side parting I gave her

it looked flawless.
