Life learning to be a Luna

7. Wolves

Kimberly's POV

I found my way in some little town, I slowed down and was enjoying the warm day. By the looks of the sun it looked to be around 3 in the afternoon. I didn't eat the food the girls brought to the room, I was so intently listening to Maggie I had lost interest in the food. I feel around for my phone fearing I forgot it, feeling relived when it is in my back pocket. I keep $50 in my phone incase of emergency. I recover my money and go to a little café to find something to eat. I walk in and found a seat next to the window, before I am done looking at the menu I hear chair moving. I look up to find the girls there smiling looking at another menu.

Me: "How do you two always know where to find me?”

Cathy: "I have a sixth sense and it tells me where you are." as she winks at me

Maggie: "Truth is the bracelet I gave you as kids, well it has a medallion on it that tells me where to find you if I need to."

Me: "Oh well.. That is good to know I guess.”

The waitress came over and we ordered our food, once she left I couldn’t hold in my questions any longer.

Me:”How come you never wanted to tell me the truth?”

Maggie: “The coven made an executive decision saying it was safer to leave you in the dark.”

Cathy:”Can you blame them? If Alpha Holden found out you had your wolf he would see you as a threat.”

Me: “Who is the ‘Alpha Holden’ I don’t have an uncle. My mother was an only child.”

Maggie:” That’s what we all told you for you to never ask questions. In reality you have two uncles and an aunt. And your father had a sister but she died when you were a baby.”

Me:”How do you know so much about me??”

Maggie: “ I’m your best friend. I made it my job to know so when this time came, I was prepared to help you.”

That was kinda sweet I thought. I grabbed both their hands and couldn’t help but be a little sad. I had no idea any of this and I bet it was so hard keeping it from me. I felt bad, but I understand why they did it.

Cathy: “ Andrea knows nothing of this too. So your not alone if that helps.”

Oddly enough it did. I wasn’t the only one who was not clued in, wait till she finds out. She will be mad. That’s when I ask

Me: “Mate? That’s what’s Elliot said when he seen me.”

Cathy:”Trust me we will go through werewolf101 later. Right now we have important stuff to take care of. When you kissed Elliot it broke the spell the coven had put on you. So tonight at the full moon you will shift for the first time and get your wolf.”

Me:”What??!!! I don’t have a choice?”

Maggie:”Sadly no, the first time is unstoppable but after that it can be controlled. For the most part”

The waitress brought our food and we ate mostly in silence after that. Some small talk was made. When we were done I paid for the food and as we got up I heard the bell on the door ring and the most awful stench hit my nose. Cathy stoped looked at the door and turned white. She grabbed Maggie’s arm.

Cathy: “We need to leave now.”

Me: “where are we even going to go?” Trying to ignore the stench crawling up my noise.

As I starred for the door there was a man next to it who locked eyes on me. And gave me a very bad feeling. I just walked through the door ignoring his glares. Maggie followed holding tight to Cathy.

Maggie: “ Slow your roll Kimmy there is a lot going on and we have to get out of here. Cathy call Elliot tell him we’re going to need that ride.”

Me:”Elliot? Is he mad I ran out on him..”

Cathy:” No we told him to let you cool down and we would all meet back up. Man Cora didn’t like the looks of that rogues back there.”

I come to a stop and think for a second. Cathy had talked about a Cora before but there is no one else with us?

Me: “ Cora isn’t here how would she not like that guy. And what the hell is up with you people and being scared? And what does the word rogue mean?!?”

Maggie and Cathy looked a bit amused at my confusion.

Cathy:” Let’s get the guys here and then we will discuss the wolf thing, but Cora isn’t a person she is my wolf. Some see them as a subconscious, that we can morph to.”

I never got into the supernatural side of books, or movies. Though who to say it would even be accurate? Regardless I needed to understand more and find this missing family. Having a family back kinda made me excited. For not having anyone for so long it would be nice to have someone there. I was pulled from my thoughts when a black SUV pulls beside us.

Caleb:” Hello ladies. Maybe you remember me from earlier?”

Cathy:”He sent his Beta to fetch us. Great.”

Maggie giggles and walks up to the door and opens us for us.

Maggie: “Remember they promised not to harm us we’re safe. Especially when we have the next Luna in our presence.”

I shake my head and ignore them and clime into the car. The drive was silent until we got out of town.

Caleb:”So Luna, where are you from? Alpha just said you were visiting for a vacation.”

Me: “ We are all from Missouri, yes we are all i college and came for a trip after finals and a heart break get away.”

Cathy: “Kim let’s not talk about that.”

Maggie:”Caleb please don’t pry Kimberly she is shocked and needs time to adjust.”

Cathy pulls me close.

Cathy:” Do not being up any former man, and anything you have ever done.”

Me:”ok. I’ll just following your lead. Idk what to do or what protocol is.”
