Luna's Revenge

The Tour

After our talk in his office, Alpha Mark suprised me by volunteering to give me the personal tour. I have never been through the entire pack house before. When I was a kid we all mainly hung out downstairs in the tv room, game room, and/or kitchen/dining room. " It would only be fitting for you to know what all our pack house has to offer. After all, this is your new home now." The Alpha pointed out the obvious. I was just glad to get out of the enclosed room with him. I still hadn't gotten over his mood swings earlier, and having him so close to me, well it made me nervous. More than nervous a bit terrified. I guess he could sense my fear, so he offered to take me on this tour to ease my nerves. We first started the tour a floor down on the main level. "Well you know the entry way now and off the right is of course the TV room. Are you familiar with all the pack members?" He asked as three of the younger pack members, all at least three years younger than me, turned away from the TV, sitting on one of the plush red leather couches, look at us as they heard the Alpha's voice. They of course don't pay me any attention. "Umm... Yes I believe I have met many of them either at school or in the dining room." I gesture from left to right, with my head, towards each of them as I say there names. "That's Connor, Tate, and Malcolm, I believe." The boys just stare at me with disgust, but are quick to bow their heads when Alpha Mark sees their faces and lets out a small growl. "Very good. It is good to know as many pack members as possible. Especially these three trouble makers, as they are always connected to the pranks that happen around here aren't you boys?" The boys stand with their heads still lowered and say in unison. " Yes, Alpha Mark." Alpha Mark beams with pride at their obedience. He looks away for a moment and that was all it took for the boys to raise their heads and send another loathsome look my way, before putting their heads back down. These three were not only responsible for all the pranks that happened in the pack, they were also Shayla's minions, so they always hated me,because she has. I didn't divulge that with Alpha Mark of course, as I didn't want to cause any trouble.

"Shall we continue on?" Alpha Mark asks, putting his right hand on my mid back. "Oh, umm of course. Please lead the way." I said with a slight jump, as his touch startled and aroused me a bit, which startled me. I am sure he could smell my arousal, as he did a quick sniff and smiled. But he said nothing as we ventured on throughout the first floor. Here is one of my favorite spots in the house." He says as we enter the library. The library is quaint but the size of a normal bedroom. It is covered from floor to ceiling in dark cherry wood, with balusters every three feet that separate the shelves. There are four auburn leather chairs, one on each corner of the room, and a matching loveseat by the window which is directly in front of us. In the center of the room are three round dark wooden tables with two armchairs slid underneath each table. “This is where we have all of our history, it is the Alpha and Luna's job to keep these records going. Within this library are written down all of the battles in which this pack has fought for over three hundred years, as well as birth, mating and death records. Each is written in a different format and style, according to how the heads of the pack deem fit." He takes me over to the far right corner of the room, and picks up a book with the cover and spine labeled Blue Moon Pack 1955-1989. This is the book that my father and mother wrote. As you can see, they wrote the packs’ stories like an actual story." He hands me the book and I skim over it, noticing that the records on births in 1956 was written like a novel. "That is very clever of them. It makes the history of the pack more interesting and not like a large inventory." I look up at him and smile. He returns my smile with a smile of his own. He then takes the book from me and places it back on the shelf. Next he grabs a much thinner book to the right of his parents' book. This is the one I have been working on, as you can see it is in an inventory style format. My mother had all of the creative genes and passed them on to my sister. I got all of my father's genes, which means zero creativity and very standard records. I hope you are as creative as you look, because this can use some sprucing up." We both laugh at that, as he puts the book away. He ushers us out of the library, again touching my back, but a bit lower this time. Trust my hormones to get me a little hot and bothered. I get a little flustered. The Alpha notices my flustered state, but once again doesn't say anything.

"Have you ever been in our atrium?" I look at him like he grew an extra head. "This pack has an atrium? In the pack house?" I asked hesistantly. "Why yes, I take that as a no to my question. Why are you so surprised by this?" He asked quizzically. "Well it just doesn't seem like the type of thing that would fit with this pack. We are more of the rough and rowdy type. When I think of an atrium, I think of calming, elegant and appeasing." The Alpha nods his head in response. "Well then you will be suprised to know that our atrium is all that you just described and more." He takes my hand and leads my out the left corridor to a hallway I hadn't noticed was there. the first half fit in with the rest of the house, dark hardwood beams nooks and everything else that said craftsman. But the end of the hall from the middle onward, opened up into a sweeping atrium that let in so much light from its massive arched windows and glass ceiling the peaked into a small dome at the top. There were several arrays of flowers and plants all around the walls from peonies, to babies' breath. The floor was also completely different than the other part of the house. The floor itself was a diagonal pattern of checkered and glass. on either corner of the end of the atrium were yoga mats and scented candles. " I let go of Alpha's hand and walked further into the atrium. "Wow. I never knew this existed. This is...wow!" The Alpha smiled at my amazement of the space. "I am glad you think so. We use this space for intimate meditation. Those who are having a really bad day and/or have lost a loved one to battle, can come in here to meditate and grieve." I found this to be so very sweet and caring of such a hardened Alpha. I would never have thought he had a soft side. I blushed and put my head down, embarrassed about how horrible I thought he was and for the fact that at that moment, all I wanted to do was kiss him. "This is such as great idea. Very nice of you, Alpha Mark." A few strands of my hair landed in my face from my ponytail. Alpha Mark gently wiped them behind my ears and said, "Please, Corra you can call me Mark." I giggled with embarrassment again and simply said, "Alright, Mark."

Next, we go back up the stairs to the second floor, where we began. This time the alpha informed me of what each room is that we had passed through earlier, in order to get to the elevator. “Several of the rooms on these floors are for the Gamma and Delta, and high-ranked warriors, as well as visiting Gammas, Deltas and high-ranked warriors.” As we pass by each door he points out which ones are bedrooms, which ones are suites, and which ones are offices. Midway down the long hallway, we are stopped at one of the suites, as the Delta opens the door and steps out just in front of us. He is about the same height and build is my brother, only he has fair skin, short curly blonde hair, and greenhouse eyes. He instantly looks up sees the alpha and lightly bows his head, still holding onto the door knob to his suite. “I apologize Alpha, I did not hear you coming. Is there something I can do for you?“ Alpha Mark smiled and shook his head. “No, I was just giving Corra a tour of the pack house. Have you had a chance to meet with Cora?” Alpha mark asked Brandon. “Oh, yeah that kitchen Omega. What are you doing up here? We don’t have any dishes or anything for you to clean. So shouldn’t you just go back downstairs to the kitchen?“ After I just stood there for a few seconds I was brought back to reality. How could have been so stupidest forget that I am just a lowly kitchen omega? Oh yeah right, my mate. “You might want to watch the way you’re speaking to my mate Brandon! Alpha mark said through clenched teeth his eyes glowing and his hands by his side in a fist. “I… I didn’t… Wait what? Your mate?! Her?! But she’s just at Omega! Basically human, how can she be your mate Alpha Mark? I mean I can see if you said she’s your maid, that makes more sense but your mate? No.”

Brandon laughed at that and the moment he laughed, was the moment Alpha mark grabbed him by the throat. He raised Brandon above his head with his back against the door, snarling at him. “How dare you speak that way to my mate! I see you are one of the problem wolves I have to keep my eye on. Tell me Corra, has Brandon ever been one of your assailants that have mocked and hit you?“ I cupped my hands together on my thighs, and nervously fumbled with my thumbs as I stuttered out a reply. “Uhm… Well… Yes he, he was... is one of the people who has pushed me around. I mean I guess I deserved it… But I don’t… Yes. He has been physically abusive to me in the past. But...” before I had a chance to finish my sentence, Alpha Mark had thrown Brandon across the hall with one arm. Brandon landed on top of a table that had a bouquet of lilies sitting in a vase. All of which, including Brandon, crumble to the ground in a loud crash. “If you ever, ever think about insulting my mate, your Luna again, you will not live to tell the tale!”With that threat, Alpha Mark walked over to Brandon, and lifted him out of the rubble, holding him by his throat again, and walked back to Brandon’s suite and tossing him inside before slamming the door. “Alpha Mark? It’s OK… I’m OK. You don’t have to defend me.” Alpha mark turned around but his teeth and growled at me. “Of course I do you are my mate! You are this packs’ Luna. They will respect you or they will feel my wrath!” I don’t know what came over me but I walked over to Alpha Mark with my arms outstretched and gave him a big hug burying my head in his chest. I began rubbing his back in circles soothing his rage. Within a few seconds his growls quieted down to nothingness and he reciprocated by hugging me back. “Thank you little mate, I am sorry you had to witness that. I am sorry that you had to go through that.“ I pulled away from his chest looking up into his eyes. “I understand. Thank you Alpha… Thank you Mark I really appreciate that.” I don’t know what came over me, but one moment I was thanking him with words and the next I stood on my toes and smashed my lips into his face my hands left his waist, and went directly to his face deepening the kiss. Alpha mark was shocked or should I say stunned by my sudden emotions, but quickly shook it off and began kissing me back. After what felt like only a few seconds but could’ve possibly been even longer we were both interrupted by someone behind us clearing their throat. “Uhm...Alpha, should I come back later? Sorry didn’t mean to interrupt. I will… You know what I’m gonna come back later.“ My brother Carlos said standing just passed the steps he went to turn and go back down and I had a bewildered look on my face, and quickly I released my grasp from the Alpha and moved away from him facing the wall and then went to go in the direction of Carlos. “No Carlos wait. Oh my goodness, I am so sorry I did not mean to … I didn’t mean to sorry Mark I really did it was great… I’m just sorry you had to see that Carlos. I’m sorry!“ With that I ran back downstairs, and was headed from the front door. As soon as I reached for the door handle however, Alpha Mark had already caught up with me. He took my right wrist and stopped me dead in my tracks.

“And where do you think you’re going? And what do you have to be sorry for? We’re mates, we’re expected to kiss don’t you know?“ I didn’t know what to say I just had my head down looking at the floor and fumbling with my shirt. “Well… I was being too forward. I was grateful for the way you defended me… And I just… kissed you. That was too forward of me. Regardless of if we are mates or not. We don’t know each other, and I had no right to do that without your permission.“ Alpha Mark let go of my wrist as he pulled me towards him and his hands went around my waist. “Ah little mate you make me smile you never need my permission to kiss me as I should never need yours to kiss you.“ With that he kissed me. Unbeknownst to us, well, I mean to me, Carlos had come downstairs and there were a few other pack members, who were near enough to see it all go down. I began to hear whispering around us. “Is she really his mate?“ “No, no way is that loser the Alpha‘s mate!“ The alpha pulled away from the kiss still holding my waist and turn to those who were chatting around us and said, “Is there a problem here? Should you not be happy I found my mate? Or is it that you have a certain person in mind other than the moon goddess as to who should be my mate, if so please do tell“ the alpha said in a commanding voice those who are gossiping around us quickly shut up and looked anywhere else but at us. “No? That’s what I thought now as you were all my guest, yes Corra here is my mate. As such you will treat her with respect you treat every Luna. You will give her the same respect that you give to me. Is that clear?!” Everyone responded in unison with, “Yes Alpha.” The Alpha smiled at his obedient pack members, removed his left hand on my waist and gestured towards the elevator. “Now little mate, should we finish the tour?” I still remained quiet and just gave a small nod. He then showed me towards the elevator, pushed three and led us both inside.

Once we got to the third floor and out of the elevator, Alpha Mark turned and looked at me. “Once again I’m going to ask are you all right?“ I sighed looked down at myself and then back up at him and replied, “yes I’m fine. This is not the first time I’ve been taunted by the pack. And I’m sure it will not be the last.“ Alpha Mark let out a low growl and explained “Oh it will be if I have anything to say about it. This is my pack, and you are my mate, their Luna. Why is it that they think it is appropriate to treat you with nothing less than human?” He said the word human as if it was a swear word, just like all the others.“I am sorry for being so very forward alpha mark but… What makes you think they’re just going to change their mind about how they feel about me, after just one day? No not even a day only a few hours. They have treated me like scum for the past five years. You can’t expect them to all of a sudden change their minds, just because you’ve discovered that I’m your mate. That’s not how it works.“ After saying all that I’ll quickly put my hands together in a cupped formation ,and put my hands down looking at my hands.“Once again I’m sorry for being so forward, please don’t be upset with me.” I said in a rapid apology to my forwardness, in the hopes that I had not triggered his angry side, again. After a few moments of silence the alpha began to chuckle “oh little mate, you have nothing to apologize for. The moon goddess put us together because she knows that you are exactly what I needed. Do you speak the truth, whether I want to agree with it or not. It will take more than a few hours for this pack to change its mind on you, on us for that matter. Maybe our mating ceremony will change their minds.” I quickly looked up in horror, or was it disbelief. How could I have forgotten that in order to officially become someone’s mate, you’d have to go through the meeting ceremony. It is a tradition within this pack. One that cannot be changed, not even for the alpha and the future Luna. Especially not for us. “Why are you so dismayed I thought you would be happy for everyone to know that you found your mate? I know I am, I was beginning to believe there wasn’t anyone out there for me. And that I would die alone, without a mate, and without tears. And now just at the 11th hour of your twenty-first birthday, here you are my mate's future mother of my future pups. The world should know who you are, and they will by the end of the week.” He stood beaming with pride and happy that he had finally gotten someone to both his pups. I.e. shook off my dismayed look and plastered one that suited the moment. “Of course how could I forget, you only want me to be both your pups.” I said out loud to myself. But of course with him being a werewolf he heard every word. “Well that’s not all I want to make you know. Someone to spend the rest of my life with. Isn’t that what everyone wants, what we deserve?” I squirmed around a bit and said “yes, I guess… But I deserve someone who actually wants me for me not just the pups I can birth for them.” The alpha put both hands on my shoulders and looked down in my eyes. “Of course you do, and I will be that person for you, as long as you give me what I want. What I need. OK Now let’s finish with this toy shall we?” I saw it again and said to him, “ Of course, please leave the way.”
