My Accidental Luna

Chapter 8

Rebecka's POV

 As I walked into the living room behind Adaline, I saw Barrett standing at the door. I was shocked, as I did not realize she meant she had met some of the most powerful wolves in the country. Then it hit me the way he was staring at her. She was Barrett's mate, the Luna of the Crescent Blue Moon pack. Of course she was, because that pack just kept getting more and more interesting. 26 years ago I had helped Barrett's dad, Alpha Bennett, when he found his second chance mate, Renee. She had come to me for help as he was still severely heart-broken from the loss of his first mate, Brooke. The Moon Goddess sometimes blessed the wolves with second chance mates if they were worthy. Back then, I was more open about who and what I was and many people came to me for healing, potions or help. You see, I am the last of my coven. My mother only had me and when my father was killed by rogues she died of a broken heart. I at first had sworn off wolves as I had seen them as evil for what they did to my father. That changed though, when Renee's pack, Red Moon, took me in after they found me fighting off some rogues. They helped me back to health and showed me what decent wolves were. I was forever in their debt, as I told them, but they only said one favor in return and they would use it when necessary. That favor came when Renee came walking into my home with an almost dying mate. I worked on him for a week with her at my side to help heal the mate bond as well.

I took Adaline very quickly when she first came in with baby James, to my shop and after everything that, has happened I vowed to protect and take care of them for the rest of my life. Which, by the way, would be for several generations of their family. I am currently 130 years old, but don't really look older than 30 in human years. It worried me that the Moon Goddess paired her with a wolf and I silently cursed her for that, but then cursed myself as I had prayed something or someone would come along and make her happy again.

I think Barrett was just as surprised as me that we were in the same room. He knew what I did for his parents but he was always a bit skeptical of me when I came around to help supply his packs hospital with creams and potions for the pack. We rarely ever say anything to one another besides others'names. However, I'm accepting this more than I think because the Moon Goddess is not wrong and if she paired my Ad with Bennett there must be a really good reason for it, at least I hope. After they left, I checked on James to make sure he was sleeping well, as I usually do every night, along with smoothing over his strawberry blonde hair. From what I gathered, Sebastian's hair was a deep dark blonde and with Adaline's auburn hair, little James got a really pretty mix of both. Also, I secretly, without Ad's knowledge, set up some indoor stars that twinkle above his bed using magic. He loves it when he wakes up on random nights. He will sit and watch them twinkle. I also set his sippy cup of water beside his bed for him to drink to help him back to sleep if he needs it.

Since I get some quiet time alone, I figured I would set up in my room and make up some potions, creams and things for the pack hospital. After about an hour, I had created quite the spread of items to take over. I heard the front door slam open and Adaline screaming for me. I quickly ran out and said a little spell in front of James' door to sound proof it that way he wouldn't hear whatever was happening, and ran down the stairs to see chaos amongst Adaline and the four wolves.

"Shhh James is sleeping" I quickly shushed everyone, "what is going on why are you yelling, and what happened to the Alp" I quickly stopped regaining myself as Ad was staring at me wide-eyed, "I mean Barrett". "We got in a little fight at the club defending Adaline and Barrett got" Holden paused "let's say stabbed" he looked at me with eyes that told me wolf things that he wouldn't say since Adaline was right there. He then, with Sam's help, laid Bennett on my couch, who was quite passed out at this point. "What do you mean, let's say stabbed. You said he was?" Adaline looked quite frustrated at this point. "He was, I'm just uh, trying to be sensitive to the situation". Holden was not being very convincing. "Alright everyone get back, let me take a look". I started to pull off his shirt and he was already healing at the wound but it was oozing, something that wolf had on his claws had infected him. "Wow he doesn't look like he was stabbed, or at least he looks like maybe he was stabbed a week ago or so" Adaline was getting closer and looking even more confused that she already was. "Ha yeah he has always been a fast healer ever since he was young" Sam spoke up this time.

"Okay, I have something for this, I'll be right back" I ran back to my room, curse you Mood Goddess, just when I thought you were doing something nice you threw me a curve ball. I grabbed some cream and a potion that would basically sedate him into a dream-like state for probably a day or so to help him really heal. Well, he certainly can't keep what he is from Ad now that she's seen this. She is pretty open though she has always said she believes in magic and the supernatural, so maybe she will take it better. I got back downstairs and the three wolves were in the kitchen having a conversation. I presume, about the fight and what was put in their Alpha to make him in the state he was in. Adaline was sitting on the edge of the couch with a wet cloth dabbing his forehead, she was already caring for him and she had no idea why.

"Alright got the stuff, this cream will help the wound and this, this medicine will help heal him. It will sedate him for probably a day to help speed the healing up though, I suggest we get him into the spare room before we do this so that way he's comfortable. You three can come back tomorrow to check on him if you want." They all looked at him and Holden spoke up "I've already called Mikayla to tell her what happened and spoke to my parents and they all agreed that we all should stay with him just to be safe". "Bennett can stay in my room, I'll sleep on my pullout couch in there, Heather and Sam can take the spare room and I'm sorry Holden but that leaves the couch, it is really comfy though". "That's fine I don't mind the couch" he chuckled, "alright its settled them boys get him up to her room its the second on the right, Heather your room is right next to it each has their own bathrooms so you can freshen up there, Holden the door down the hall there next to the kitchen is another bathroom go freshen up there after. Adaline, I already checked on James. He is sound asleep, so go up and get some rest, okay?" They all nodded and said "thank you" in unison. We took Bennett to her bed and I applied the cream and we got him to drink some of the potion. They are going to have to have one hell of a conversation soon.
