My Accidental Luna

Chapter 13

Adaline's POV

I must be dreaming, there is no way I am awake. I couldn't help but to laugh uncontrollably. I KNEW I shouldn't have trusted these people. He was certifiably insane. Did he honestly think I would accept some weird explanation of him being a WEREWOLF? I mean, does he think I'm five? I'm pretty sure I had just paced my 10,000 steps in the matter of 30 seconds when I heard it. It sounded like bones shattering. I turned to look at Barrett and he was hunched over and I watched as first his hands changed, his nails grew long into claws, his face started to elongate into a snout. What the hell was happening? Then, mere seconds later, this giant, and I mean giant, was almost towering over me in height. A midnight blue wolf was staring at me. "HOLY s**t" was all I could get out and I screamed at it. I mean, now I know I am dreaming this CANNOT BE REAL!

I felt myself start to fade. Was I about to pass out? I started to go down, then I felt something licking my face. I pried my eyes open and there was the wolf licking me, probably ready to eat me whole. I regained myself when I saw James bolting right towards him in complete awe. The wolf lay down and James began petting him like he was some small puppy. "JAMES GET AWAY" I began to scream but was cut off by Beck of all the people. "It's okay Ad, he won't hurt him. James is forever protected by him". She tried calming me by supporting my shoulders. Was she in on this awful joke? "Beck what the hell, did you know he was like this and what do you mean he's forever protected?" I can't believe this, "Wait do you do that too?" she was laughing now, "No, no I don't do that I am much cooler" she stated smiling.

"I did not expect him to explain things this way, damn Barrett", Holden stated as Shaw let out a small growl towards him. Holden was laughing now. "You thought this was the way to make her understand and stay? You really are one crazy alpha" was he talking to the damn wolf? "Listen Adaline, I do not agree with the way they went about getting you to believe this, but Shaw was scared you were going to leave him and that would have ultimately killed him" Heather began saying and the three began to undress. "What the hell are you doing?" I was in shock "You need to see to understand, you are our luna and you have to believe we would never hurt you" came from Sam. The next thing I knew, there were three more wolves standing infront of me, not nearly as big as Barretts though. Heathers was a deep brown with small white spots and a white star, Sam's complimented hers as a reddish blonde and Holden's was as blonde as his normal hair. They were beautiful, I have to admit. They all got together and Shaw came to stand next to me with James right next to him, holding on for dear life. The three stood in front of us and lowered one paw and deeply bowed to us. "What the actual hell is going on?" I was in disbelief.

"They are accepting your status as Luna and showing respect", Beck was standing by me now. "Mommy, can we keep them?" Heather's wolf came to James and began licking his face and he was in a fit of giggles. I couldn't help but smile at that, which in turn made Shaw? I believe that's his name nudged my shoulder with his snout. I turned to look at him and he was looking at me with complete adoration. I slowly reached up and patted his nose. He grunted and moved his head so my hand was petting between his ears instead. I giggled "It is nice to meet you, Shaw, but can I get Barrett back please?" I wasn't sure if asking for him would work but Shaw looked at me, nodded and started turning back. Beck had a pair of shorts ready. I knew he took exercising seriously, but holy smokes, this man had the body of a god! He was ripped in all the right places, his arms were covered in tattoos and easily the size of my head. He had a rippling six pack that I could imagine raking my fingers down. He had a deep V leading down to a well endowed member, that thing could probably kill me alone. I was starting to go weak at the knees just looking at him and I had had a feeling in my lower stomach that I had not felt in some time. I heard Barrett clear his throat and I know I turned the deepest red a person could as I looked at his face. I swear his eyes were going from blue to black simultaneously.

"Adaline" he breathed out, husky as he walked towards me, "if you are going to think those thoughts that start to arouse you, please don't do that in the presence of other people" my eyes went wide, how did he know? "I told you I am a wolf and I along with the others can smell your arousal", f**k "excuse me what?" I looked at all of them, the other three were now back and getting dressed. They all smiled and laughed "yep that's one downfall of being a wolf. You smell everything and we even have a specific smell to our mates", Heather explained. "Wait, I have a specific smell? " I looked at Barrett questionably "What do I smell like to you?" He looked a little embarrassed and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "Lemon meringue pie" I lost it I couldn't keep the laugh in. "Wait is that why you asked for it at the restaurant? Was that before you knew I was your mate?" tears were streaming down my face now. At this point, James and Beck had made it back over to the group and I heard her snort. "Wait, the one thing you make that is the best seller at my bakery is the thing you smell like? That is priceless!" I shot her a look. "Wait but you just smell like a musk cologne to me. I mean it smells good but I didn't pick up on that when I first met you." Not that I was sure about all this, but I had to ask, as I wanted to make sure I understood everything. "Well you won't until you get your wolf. I mean only if you wanted to but that's how you would feel. The mate bond is the strongest, but I understand. I guess if you did not want to become a wolf, as that is a lot to take in, I would be okay either way. I guess, damn I am going to stop talking now" Barrett was a ranter, that's for sure.

"I can become a wolf? Does that hurt? I need to think about a lot of things because I have a son to think about and I am not sure that I am not fully dreaming still" did I want to be a wolf, that sounds scary and also very painful. Because of all of this, I am supposed to lead this pack, I guess, with Barrett, and if I had a wolf I would feel this supposed bond between me and Barrett. Oh no, I feel another panic attack coming on. Barrett was at me in an instant with his arms around me. I began to calm down. "How?" Sam stepped forward. "That's the bond. The closer you are to each other the happier you are", Heather came and grabbed his hand, smiling. "I have done a lot of research on human mates as it has always fascinated me and I never really got to see a human mate as a human, the two in our pack were already turned by the time we were born. However, according to them, they didn't take long to accept the bond and at the first mating, the wolves marked them and that turned them. They did say it was painful but only shortly, as they blacked out after and were out a good 3 days in the infirmary under the doctors' watch." Yep, that is absolutely terrifying. They were all watching me to gauge my reaction. I tried to hide my emotions as best I could and just smiled. I have a lot to think about and, hopefully, I will get the time to do so.
