The Unexpected Luna

Chapter Two: Who is she?

Dara

I was relieved when Sarah went back to sleep and didn't leave. She was my mate after all. Human or not, she was mine. I just had to finad a way for the council to accept her and not that horror of a woman. She would never make a fit luna for my pack. She was vain, selfish, and spoiled. She didn't know what it was like to work and she treated everyone below alpha class as trash. When I first met her, she seemed nice. It wasnt until one of the Mating Balls that she showed her true colors. A happy omega had just found her mate and was distracted and accidently ran into Myra while she and I were talking. I'll admit it was more flirting but I digress. Myra turned red and screamed that the female was worthless trash and why was she even there. The poor omega tried to apologize. Myra slapped her and grabbed her by the hair, dragging her to the courtyard. I followed, trying to save the female from Myra's assualt. After we reached the courtyard, the alpha from Jewel Lake pack came in search of his mate, only to find me holding her up and away from the wicked wench and her hitting my chest. She was screaming at me to "put the stupid b***h down" so she could punish her. The omega was crying so hard she started having an asthma attack. Alpha Byron screamed at us and I explained the situation. I carefully handed him his mate only for Myra to seize the oppotunity to slap her again. Byron growled and told her if she ever so much as glanced in his mate's direction that he would end her, regardless of her station. Myra then threatened to report him to the coucil for the threat, to which she was told to eat a bag of d***s. I later learned she regularly abused the omegas of her pack and flat out refused to marry her. I believe I said I'd rather be eaten alive by ants. I had even stopped talking to my father because of the promise he had made. He swore he didn't know how bad she was, but I dont believe him. How could he have not known. I refused to subject my pack to her torture. And then when I scented my mate at the club, I grew more firm in my rejection. I was about to walk away and hunt for the source when Sarah came up to me and laid her claim on me. When Myra pulled her usual bullshit though, I felt a strange sensation eminating from Sarah. Almost like it was magic, but that was impossible. Witches almost never come out into public. And they never came anywhere near shifters. I yawned as I cracked a few eggs and let some bacon sizzle in the pan. The more I thought about it the more a lot of things weren't adding up. I should probably also apologize to Ivan for what I said to him. He had no way of knowing that Sarah was my mate when he called me this morning.

* Bzzz.....bzzzzz....bzzzzzz.....bzzzzzz..... I sighed as I opened an eye and laid in bed. Who the f**k was calling this early? I was already irritated because i had only gotten two hours of sleep and here my phone was going off. Just as I was about to answer, my mate asnwered instead. I waved it off and settled back into my spot. "Hello?....... Who is this?" She said in an annoyed tone. It was then I heard Ivan's angry voice. I reached over and grabbed the phone from her as she huffed and put it to my ear just as he called her a w***e. "You'd better have a good f*****g reason for not only calling this early but also calling YOUR LUNA a whore." He went silent and i could almost hear his ass clench. "I swear I had no idea, Alpha. I will apologize as soon as I tell you why I called." He took a deep breath and sighed. "Get on with it Ivan." I spat out in annoyance. "It's Myra." s**t. "She's reported you to the coucil and is urging her father to war. We've killed four of they're spies and two lykans already, on top of dealing with rouges in the area. The council is tying to pacify them but everyone is pissed and there's a s**t storm coming. We need you back Dara. The pack is getting anxious and they're starting to say you should just marry her to make her stop." f*****g hell. One night away and everything goes to s**t. "Let everyone know I'll be back by noon. And get my suite ready for the Luna."

I chewed on a piece of toast, lost in thought, when a small pair of arms slid around my waste. I turned my head slightly to see Sarah in a daze. Ah, she sleep walks. I'll have to watch her when we get home. She was mumbling something I couldn't make out as she made her way to the window and opened it. I tensed, ready to grab her if she tried to climb out. We were fourty stories up and even I wouldn't survive from this height. "What the?" When the widow opened she didnt try to climb out. Instead she let several pidgeons and a squirrel into the loft. They all perched on her as they made their way back to the bedroom. Yup. She's a witch. But shes something else as well. This complicated things. The council already wont accept her without some kind of wolven blood, and even then they might still reject my claim to her. But odder still is the fact that her scent is hidden. The only smell i get from her is human and her unique "mate" scent. Who exactly is this woman? Where did Sarah come from? She seems to be completely oblivious to her origins.After a few moments I dialed Ivan again while making plates. *Yes Alpha?" "I need you to do some digging on my mate. It's nothing serious yet but I need all her info before I present her to the coucil. She's part witch, I know that much." "That's not good. I'll see what I can find, if anything. Did she tell you she was a witch?" "No. I just found out when she let some animals in and went back to bed." "Wait. Animals? Like more than one?" "Yeaaa." "She sounds like a green witch. But I thought the war wiped them all out. Try and get me some hairs or something." I thanked him and hung up as I opened the door to our room. She was curled up in the center of the bed with the animals asleep with her. I shooed the animals away before waking her. "Wake up love. I have food." She rolled and stretched while wiping the drool from her mouth. "Looks good. You made this?" I nodded and handed her her plate. "Shocked that a wealthy man makes his own food?" She blushed and changed the subject. "Look, I dont know if I can do this. I mean, we dont know each other and I have a job.... OH f**k!" She yelled and scarfed down her food then looked for anything suitable to wear. She found her phone and checked the time. "Oh god... Im so fired. I have eight missed calls from my boss." "Who is he?" "I work for Samuel Laurance." I waved dismissively and grabbed my phone. "Hello? Yes, this is Dara Petrova.... Thank you." I waited while my call was transfered. "Mr. Laurance? Good morning how are you." Sarah began swatting at me and mouthing for me to hang up but I just put my arm out and kept her at bay. "Glad to hear it. So listen, I heard you have a woman named Sarah working for you." "Ummm. Yes sir we do. Unfortunatley we will have to terminate....her for...... Dammit stop. I'm on the phone." "Slut."Sarah said with an exasperated sigh. "Mr. Laurance... Are you ok? You seem a bit.... distracted." I said, implying i knew what was going on. "Yes yes. I'm ok. Sorry sir. As I was saying, she is terminated effective immidiately because of no call, no show." "Ah. A shame. She was in a meeting with me when she informed me that she needed to report for work." "A meeting? May I ask what for." Got him. "Yes. She was just telling me about all the wonderful things your company has done and multiple charities you've donated too and I must admit. I was beginning to think i made a mistake rejecting the initial offer. But if she no longer works for you then..." "Oh no no no... Did I say terminated? I meant to say she was being promoted. With a triple salary increase." "Promotion with a triple pay increase? Thats wonderful. I look forward to hashing out the terms, see you soon. And please make sure That Mrs. Sarah is with you. She was sucha delight." With that I hung up the phone while Sarah stared at me wide eyed and opened mouthed. Then her phone rang. "H.. Hello Mr. Laurance." "SARAH, YOU BEAUTIFUL RAY OF SUNSHINE! I dont know how you did it, but why dont you take the next two weeks off. Completely paid with a 5k bonus as our way of saying thank you for all your hard work. Sound good?" "Yea... that's great... thank you sir." She hung up, still shocked as she laid back on the bed. "Two weeks paid vacation with a 5k bonus." She then smiled evily. "OH I'd love to see that bitches face right now." My vengeful little mate. "Can you just buy the comapny so I can be her boss and fire her." "Sure." I replied. "I was just kidding!" She shouted. I liked seeing her flustered. "I will however be taking you shopping though. You need clothes and I want to spoil my new wife." She blushed and looked away. "You really don't have to. I'm fine." "I want to though." I also needed her relaxed when I reveal to her what I am. It's common knowledge the immortals exsist but we dont exactly walk around advertising it. I just hoped she'd still be open to us after I tell her. I chewed my lip nervously as I drove down the busy street to the shopping center. Sarah must've noticed becuase she herself became nervous. What was I going to say? How was I going to say it? I parked the car and Opened the door for my mate. She scurried out and looked around anxiously. "This place is so expensive. We can just go to walmart or something" I made a horrified face and shook my head. "Love, I can shop here and spend a million dollars a day and still not put a dent in my bank account. We are NOT, going to walmart." She visibly shyed away more as we shopped. It only took a few minutes to notice she had completely shut down. Something was up and her fear scent was becoming suffocating. It was then I heard it. The thoughts that both shattered my heart and enraged me to no end.
