My Accidental Luna

Chapter 28

Adaline's POV

I didnt get much sleep last night, which I figured would happen. I had gotten a few clothes together for me and James packed away. Barrett only grabbed a small backpack. I'm standing here staring at the large duffle bag for just James and I, which has bath essentials and toddler items as well, and Barretts bag. How can he only pack so little, or did I over pack? "I need to go over the list again, make sure I have absolutely everything. Toiletries, snacks, back ups and back ups of back ups." I'm not really talking to anyone but myself but Barrett, who was over on the couch wrestling with James, cuts me from my thoughts. "Adaline, hunny were going for two days. If there is anything you have forgotten, we will go out and grab it at a*****e, come over here and calm down. Everything will be okay."

He's right. I think I am stalling because I'm so dang nervous. "Momma are we going on a plane?" He was now jumping on the couch back and forth over Barrett, who was laughing at him, with a big smile, I couldnt help but smile at them. "Yes were going to see Papa today and show you my old house!" There was a knock at the door and Renee poked her head in "may I come in and grab the luggage it's almost time to head out" she looked at me sympathetically. I smiled and nodded, but as soon as she entered, James yelled "Grama Nay" and ran to her. She picked him right up and he wouldnt budge. "It's okay Ma, I'll grab the luggage, we will be right down." She smiled again snuggled into James and they headed out. "Come on love, let's get going". He grabbed the bags, kissed my head and waited by the door. It's now or well now because I need answers.

Luckily, the plane they had really was private. It was just all of us and some flight attendants. Heather and I were on the long couch-style seats with the boys as Holden, Sam and Barrett were going over plans if anything happened. Beck was off to the back inventorying and mixing, who knows what? Stefan was by the door facing the pilot and seeming very tense. Anthony sat next to him but his chair was turned to face us all. While Renee and Bennett were snuggled up on the other couch relaxing. The boys hopped down as soon as they could to play with their toys. Heather had dosed off so I decided to get up and stretch my legs and grab the boys a snack and some juice. I walked passed Barrett and the guys, "Do you guys want anything? I am going to get the boys something?" They all looked up and smiled. Barrett grabbed my hand and kissed it. "I think we are okay for now, but you know there is someone on board who can do that right?" I sighed " I know I am just anxious and need to move and do something." He kissed my hand "Okay love, were almost done here anyways, we should be landing in about 30."

I got to the back portion behind everyone, there was a small kitchenette and a fridge, the flight attendant was sitting off to the side. "Luna" she said with a bow, "is there something I can get for you? I'd be happy to get something right over to you" She seems nice, she's older, more so around my mom's age or the age she would be. With darker curly hair, bright red lipstick but very sweet features. "No, that's okay. I needed to move around and stretch a bit and please call me Adaline, I was just getting some snacks and drinks for the kids." I found some juice in the fridge, "However, I do only have two hands. I did want to get everyone at least a drink. Would you mind helping me with that? Also, may I know your name?" She stood, smiled and bowed. "Of course, my name is Theresa. I'll get some sodas and water together and wine for Ms.Renee and be right out with those."

"Thank you, I'll get these for the kids and be right back to help." She got started stacking trays, I got the boys situated and went back to help. I grabbed Stefan, Anthony Renee and Heathers drinks. I handed them off to the ladies. "Stefan, I didn't know what you liked, so I grabbed you some water and Anthony here is a soda." They both smiled, bowed and thanked me. I really don't think I will ever get used to this. I sat closer to Anthony. "So Anthony, since it seems we will be spending quite some time together, I would love to get to know you better. Do you have a mate, favorite things, ya know the basics?" I giggled out "also please call me Adaline." He laughed "well lets see I am 22. Yes, I do have a mate. She is in college right now and almost done with her degree. She is going to be a teacher. She is wonderful and will be perfect for that." The way he lit up when talking about her, he was truly in love with her. "It must be so hard to be away from her for such long periods of time." His eyes cast down "it is but we make it work, our bond is strong and as soon as she comes back I am marrying her and never leaving her side again." I was laughing at that "as you should, I cant wait to meet her she sounds amazing."

"She is. As far as other things, I have been a warrior since I turned 18 and graduated. I trained hard and was selected when tryouts started and worked my way to the top. My father is a great warrior and I wanted to follow his steps. I pretty much eat, sleep and breathe training, I do like the occasional movie and chinese food night though. Chelsea would prefer pizza but sometimes good takeout just really hits that spot." James had climbed into my lap at this point since Sawyer wanted a nap. "Hi my name is James" he waved his little hand "hello James I'm Anthony." James hugged me "this is my momma she is the best." Everyone was giggling now "Well James I am to help protect your mom that way she can stay the best." He jumped up to hug Anthony "thank you I really need my mommy." Anthony was taken aback by this as was I "ofcourse little dude" he hugged James back.

The captain came over the speaker, "Please fasten the seatbelts. We are about to land". With that, everyone got settled and we landed at the airport. As we were getting off, I noticed four large black SUVs lined up and realized everyone was surrounding me as we walked. James and I were basically circled in. "Dont worry Luna, it is just in case someone is watching. We would rather they not have been able to see you." Anthony, who was directly behind me since Barrett was in front, stated seeming to know I was confused. "Well, thank you, but now I am more paranoid." We got to our car. It was Anthony, Barrett, James, myself and Beck. They practically threw me in. The whole ride, which was about 45 minutes, I kept looking out the window thinking I saw something, but I know it was paranoia. Barrett grabbed my hand to calm me, but it didn't work as well as I had hoped. We finally turned down to the long dirt road that leads to my grandfather's house. It's surrounded by woods. It takes about 5 minutes to get to the house from the road. We pulled up. It's a large 4 bedroom colonial-style house with a large front porch, a picture perfect white with black shutters and white picket fence. He had also built a little ways back a 4 bed cabin, which was supposed to be for Sebastian and I. There my papa was standing at the fence. He was actually the town sheriff when he was working. Now he was a tall beanpole of a man with salt and pepper hair because he dyed it. I do have his eyes, though my mom got them from him and I her. I pulled James out and walked up "papa". He hugs us both tightly. "Alright. I got lunch on the table for everyone and the cabin is set up in the back for the former Alpha and Luna and whoever else chooses, I also have two extra beds here." He looks at me with a sad smile. Wait did he say alpha and luna? "We have a lot to discuss so, let's get the little ones fed so we can talk." He opens the gate and everyone walks to the door, he stands by me though and Barrett walks up "Sir, thank you for this I am Barrett, Alpha of the Crescent Blue Moon pack, and the mate of Adaline." Papa shook his hand and bowed "nice to meet you son, alright everyone this way to the dining and kitchen area." I stood there shocked this is going to be one hell of a trip.
