The Luna Of The Lake

Day One

We make the walk to the elevator, hand in hand and take it down to the first floor. When we get to the dining room, the five people I met last night are already seated. They all stand to greet us.

“Jazmyn!” Veela exclaims “good morning sweetie, did you sleep well? Is there anything we can do for you”

“Mother, let her get in the room before you talk her ear off” Damien says laughing. We are greeted with multiple good mornings and how are you’s before we sit down. Everyone seems so happy to have me here. The opposite of what I thought they would feel.

“Jazmyn, I hope my boy is treating you well” Ash says with a smirk.

“Better than well Sir. He’s so kind” I reply

“Can I call you Jaz? I think Jaz fits you well” Amber asks excitedly.

“Uhm yes you can” I say

“I hope you are ready for an exciting day” Rocket says to me. Rockee looks over at us, confused. “We’re going shopping silly” Rocket says to him. He nods, knowing his sister and shopping. Just then, a few men come into the dining area carrying trays full of food. I smell waffles and maple syrup. They place the trays in front of us all. I stand up and start making everyone’s plate. They all look puzzled and I pause.

“I’m sorry it’s just that well” I don’t know what to say

“It’s alright my Love. Jazmyn is used to preparing all meals for her old pack. It will take some time for us to get her used to not needing to do that” Damien explains to them. I slowly sit back down, embarrassed.

“That’s alright, thank you for being so considerate Jazmyn” Adrien says, breaking the silence. Once everyone has their plate, we eat our breakfast. Everyone at the table is chatting about random things while I eat in silence. Damien places a hand on my thigh, and the fire returns. He chuckles. “I was wondering if you’re ready to head out” he says and I notice that I finished all of my food.

“Yes Damien let’s go” Rocket says eagerly. We stand from the table and everything in me says I must clear it off. But I fight those thoughts as Amber, Rocket, Damien and I head to the front door. We all climb into the Impala and wave goodbye. Damien starts up the car and tunes the car to a classic station. I hear the song playing and turn the music up a bit more and sing along with the radio.

“The years rolled slowly past

And I found myself alone

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends

I found myself further and further from my home, and I

Guess I lost my way

There were oh-so-many roads

I was living to run and running to live”

Everyone in the car is silent. I sing the rest of the song and turn down the music.

“Girl WHERE did you get a voice like that?!” Rocket asks me.

“Oh uhm my mom. She wasn’t like my dad. She was half Siren.” I say like that’s just how things go. They all look at me confused. I start to realize that they are staring so I hang my head again.

“That’s. Fricking. Awesome” Amber says.

“Awesome isn’t the word for it” Rocket laughs

“Darling I didn’t know that” Damien says looking at me.

“Well I didn’t think it was a big deal. They’re gone so it doesn’t matter” I reply.

“What did she look like” Amber asks me. I pull out my wallet, it holds the only photo I have of my parents. I hand the photo back to her and she gasps “you look exactly like her! Except you have your dads freckles” she giggles. “Is this picture from their wedding? Her dress is beautiful.”

“No, it’s from her Luna Ceremony” I answer nonchalantly.

“Luna Ceremo- YOUR’E AN ALPHA’S DAUGHTER?!?” Rocket yells. I flinch and cover my face to block the slap o thought was coming.

“Rocket. Do not yell at my Mate do you understand me” Damien says in a stern voice. I look over as he grabs my hand. “I’m sorry my love. But that was quite the bomb you just dropped on us.”

“I’m so sorry Jazmyn I didn’t mean to frighten you” Rocket says sadly.

“It’s alright” I say smiling at her. “Yes I’m the daughter of an Alpha.”

“I think this conversation can wait until later ladies, we’re here” Damien says. I look out the window and see the biggest market I’ve ever laid eyes on. “This is Silver Moon Mall”

“Silver Moon Mall?” I ask

“Yes my love. This mall was built by my great grandfather when my dad was just a child.” Woah. No wonder they lived in a castle. Damien climbs out and walks around to open my door and help me out. We all walk in through the sliding doors and I’m surprised at the amount of people walking around. “Where should we go first?”

“Us ladies are going to Luna’s Lady Lounge first Sir. I think Jazmyn could benefit from some new sleepwear” Amber says. Damien hands her his credit card.

“Whatever you think she needs, or anything she likes, get it.” He says. She nods and we begin walking into the store. I look back and see Damien sitting down in the waiting area. I’m nervous to be away from him.

We walk into the store and I am in awe at all the different styles and items. I’ve only ever went to the supermarket to get things for meals. I’ve certainly never had the freedom to but what I need or want. This is crazy to me. Amber and Rocket are talking as I take in everything around me. I walk over to a headless body wearing a beautiful nightgown. I could never wear something like that. I’d be too embarrassed of my scars and stomach. “That would look amazing on you” Rocket says to me making me laugh.

“Yeah right. Like I could pull that off”

“You definitely could. You have a beautiful figure!” Amber says behind me. “Now where should we start?”
