Secret Luna

Five years ago... Raelynn had just barely turned 13 years of age when she was kidnapped and dumped on the side of the road in the middle of a horrible storm. She tries to find solace from the storm under a tree alongside the road, but there isn't much coverage from the rain pelting down on her. Covered in mud and drenched through, she pulls her arms into her sleeves, trying to hold onto as much body heat as possible, praying the storm will let up for the night. Anything would be better than this. Surely the gods don't hate her this much! Suddenly, there were bright lights from a car coming around the corner and a flash of lighting so bright you would swear it was daylight, gone as fast as it had come. Raelynn quickly buries her head in her shirt as well, suddenly terrified of this storm. Screeching tires and a car door slam can be heard in the darkness. "Are you okay?" a man's voice asks. You can almost feel his authority even in his question. Slowly Raelynn peeks over the neck of her shirt, her blonde hair plastered to her face. Her large doe eyes looked up at him, at his six-foot-seven frame hunched over, kneeling beside her. Before she can answer, there's another car door slam. "Jacob, what is it?" asked another male voice, slightly farther away. "It's a girl. It looks like she's been out here awhile. We should take her back with us." "Nooooooo!" Raelynn yells. "I won't be taken again!" she jumps up and starts to run, falling flat on her face, as her feet meet the slick mud on the side of the road. Jacob approached slowly. "It's OK, I'm not going to hurt you. What's your name?" "Raelynn. I don't remember my last name, so just Raelynn" she answers as she makes eye contact. Suddenly mesmerized by the kindness in his eyes. "Well, just Raelynn. Why don't we get you back to our pack house, and get you dried off. Then we can figure out where you're from." Not seeing a better option at the moment, the rain coming down even harder now, Raelynn takes the man's hand and follows him back to the car. Inside, warmth envelops her and not long after the car starts to move, she falls asleep. Jacob mindlinks Jax, his beta who is driving, so as to not disturb the sleeping girl. I don't understand where she may have come from. There is not another pack for hundreds of miles. I need you to look into any missing person report made that might fit her description. Got it. What's Luna Gigi going to think of you bringing home a stray girl? I think she will understand. If we don't find the girl's home, we can find her a job in the pack. She doesn't smell like a rouge. Jacob leaned his head against the window, wondering where this girl could have come from, glancing at her, covered in mud, sleeping in the backseat. An hour later, they pull up in front of the pack house, greeted by Luna Gigi and Jace, the future alpha of the pack. When they see the sleeping girl in the back of the car, they turn to Jacob with curious stares. Luna Gigi spoke first, "My dear husband, what is this? Bringing home strays now?" With a kiss on her forehead, Jacob replies "She appears to have been dumped, and I couldn't in good conscience leave her in this monsoon we have been dealt with. Please find her some dry clothes and make the omegas prepare the guest room. " **Raelynn's POV After Luna Gigi showed me to my room, I entered the bathroom, amazed at how luxurious it looked compared to where I had ever been. Stripping off my clothes, I walked into the steaming hot shower, trying to chase the chill away. The water felt like heaven on my chilled body and I wished it would never end. I reached for the shampoo to wash my hair and was amazed at the wonderful smells of mango and black currant. If this is what heaven felt like, I didn't want to leave. They will want to know where I'm from, I thought to myself, too bad I don't remember anything from the time the man with the dragon wolf tattoo took me. I closed my eyes and just continued to let the hot water flow over my body, until that water started to cool. As the water cooled, I stepped from the shower, wrapped a plush Terry cloth robe around my body and dried my hair with a towel just as soft. There's a soft knock at the door and I pad over to the door and crack it open to see who is on the other side. To my surprise, there is the most handsome male specimen I have ever laid eyes on. As I drank in all 6 foot 5 inches of his toned body and sun-kissed tanned skin, messy black hair and eyes so blue I could drown in them, his gruff voice breaks my staring. "My father, Alpha Jacob, has asked that I fetch you for dinner." "No, thanks, I'm not really hungry." I replied. "It wasn't really a request. Seeing as we know nothing about you. You are required to come when summoned by the Alpha," he snapped. Wow, he's a real charmer, I thought to myself. "I'll be just a moment, I have to get dressed." I caught his eye rolling as I was shutting the door. If everyone was going to be as gracious as this jerk, I would leave. I may not have any memories, but I knew I didn't want to be treated like this. I pulled on a pair of slightly too large sweatpants and a sweatshirt along with a pair of warm fuzzy socks and a pair of shoes that had been given to me. I brushed my hair quickly and put it in a messy bun atop of my head, whatever, I thought, it'd have to do. I opened the door to be greeted by a wall of muscles facing away from me. I tapped him on the shoulder to let him know I was ready to go, but, of course, with his wolf hearing, he already knew. The tap on his shoulder zapped me, so I yanked my hand back. This wall of muscle growled at me, so he must have been shocked too. As we entered the eating hall, I was taken aback by the dozens of wolves staring at me as I walked in behind this brute who had yet to tell me his name. We quickly make our way to where Alpha Jacob is sitting with Luna Gigi. Alpha Jacob looks at me with a smile and gestures for me to sit. "Please have a seat, let's talk while we eat" I sit but make no move to fill my plate with any of the wonderful smelling food laid out before me. Alpha Jacob starts filling his plate with tons of delicious smelling food. There is also a wonderful spread of fruit that gives off a wonderful citrus aroma. The candles in the middle of the table flicker, almost as if trying to set a relaxing mood. I am seated at the table with the Alpha and his family while the other pack members are not present. Strange. Pack members typically eat in the mess hall with the Alpha, at least that is the way I remember it. "So Raelynn, how is your room?" Luna Gigi asks. "Oh it is wonderful, the shower was absolute heaven. Thank you very much for your kindness." I replied with my eyes downcast. "You are absolutely welcome. Where is your-" "That is not necessary. If Raelynn remembers and wishes to join her old pack, she will let us know. In the meantime, she will stay with us, and we shall find her a job within the pack," Alpha Jacob cuts in.
