The Moon Valley Pack

Chapter 10: Results and Suspicions

*** Genevieve POV ***

                We got to the mall and met up with Beast outside of Nordstrom’s. We go inside to see what

options we can find for our outfits. We shop around for different styles. Scar is seeming to go more for a

dress, while Jojo is going for a romper. I decide that I want to go just for some cute shorts and a top.

                Jojo finds the romper that she’s looking for which is a navy-blue cotton material with a halter

top and reaches high on her thigh, but still covering enough to make it classy.

                We shop around to some more stores and talk about life. Scar finds a boho deep V neck dress in

a pale pink color.

                I still can’t find what I’m looking for, so we decide to head to Macy’s for shoes. We all find really

cute flat sandals. Since we didn’t know if we would be outside on any unstable ground, we didn’t want

to hobble on high heels. I decide to look around while we were in the store and I found a really cute top

that was short sleeve light tan with floral designs on it. Then I found a pair of blue jean shorts with white

lace on the sides. With my hip structure I had to get shorts that were long enough to cover everything.

Now that we found all our outfits for the barbecue we decided to just shop. We got different shorts,

shirts, dresses, for different occasions. We even picked up some clothes we think the guys may like.

Then we buy small tokens for our guards for walking around and lugging all the bags for us.

                We’re making one last trip around the stores and we pass one that is for… special occasions. I

decide that I’m going to go in and get an outfit so I can surprise Jack later with it. I know he’ll really

appreciate me putting in this kind of effort for our first time. Eddie and Harry looked extremely confused

and uncomfortable in the store as most guys would be, but Beast seemed extremely comfortable. Which

made me think that his girlfriend, if he has one, brings him in stores like these or he just really doesn’t

let things like this bother him. I decided to get a black and red lace garter set with fishnet stockings. I,

also, got another surprise for him that I couldn’t wait to see what his reaction would be.

                We paid for our items and headed back out to the cars. Jojo, Scar and I get in the car while the

Eddie and Harry open the window while leaving the door closed to put the bags in the back of the SUV.

                “I’m gonna take my car and follow y’all to the pack grounds. I want to formally introduce myself

to your alpha.” Beast states and starts walking away.

                I looked behind me in the back seat to thank the guys for taking us out when I see a man come

up to Harry and punch him in the face using brass knuckles. Then, more quickly than humanly possible

he knees Eddie in the nuts, HARD, and takes the car keys. Jojo screams as she sees Harry and Eddie

incapacitated on the ground. I’m shocked at what’s happening and frozen in fear.

                “BEAST!!! HELP!!!!!!!” Scar screams out the still open back window. The stranger jumps in the

front seat and takes off.

                “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! Stop this NOW! You don’t know who you’re messing with!” Scar

yells to the back of the guys as he swerves around trying to get away as soon as possible.

                “SHUT UP YOU F*CKING B*TCH!” He yelled back.

Before the guy could make it out of the parking garage, I look out the side window and see Beast

running toward the car and gaining speed faster than I’ve ever seen anyone, werewolves included. I

try to quickly put on my seatbelt, but Beast was too fast and grabbed the SUV with his bare hands. He

stopped the car with a harsh jerk with severe strength. I slam my head into the seat back in front of me.

I’m disoriented, but I look up and see that the guy had done through the window. I see some of his

smaller cuts and scrapes healing. He must be a werewolf or some other type of supernatural creature.

                “F*CK, F*CK, f*ck, f*ck. Guys, I broke my arm.” Jojo cries. I look over at her and try to

concentrate even though my head is starting to really hurt and I’m getting a severe migraine. I see Jojo’s

arm twisting at an odd angle and she looks green. Scar looks at both of us and I wave her off so she

starts to help Jojo instead. Beast pulls the guy out from the hole his body made in the windshield and

starts beating him some more. I guess going through a window isn’t enough.

                Our doors open and I look up to see Eddie. He helps me out of the vehicle, and I sit down on the

ground trying not to move too hard. My ears are ringing, I close my eyes and start to rub my temples to

alleviate some building tension.

                “Good Afternoon Harry and Eddie. I saw the incident, I wanted to come over and offer my

assistance. I don’t believe that we’ve met, but I’m Dr. Lawrence.” An older gentleman came up to me

and said. “I’m assuming since you’re with her that she’s one of the ranked females?” He turned to Eddie

and asked.

                “Yes, she’s the future Luna.” He replies.

                “Oh! Well, I’m here to be of service Luna, how can I help?” He asks as starts his evaluation on

me.

“Please, I can wait until we get back to the packhouse to be looked at. Jojo is on the other side

of the vehicle and she broke her arm.” I explain.

                “Ok, but only if you promise to call the Alpha immediately. I’ll need a room right away once I get

back. Thankfully we’re only half an hour away, with if the guys driving, I’m sure we can be there in about

fifteen minutes.”

                “Eddie, you wait here while the tow truck arrives. We’ll send for a ride to come pick you up.

Even though you were hurt Harry was hit in the head and I want him to be checked out.” I say to Eddie

without opening my eyes.

                “I understand, Luna. My healing abilities have healed any pain anyways, so I don’t mind. But I

will get the guy’s wallet and see if I can find out why he targeted us in the first place.” He offers.

                I give him a thumbs up since I don’t feel like answering.

                “Can you hand me my phone, please?” I ask Eddie.

                Once I get my phone, I call Jack’s phone, “Hey, Darlin’. Did you find everythin’ ok?”

                “Yes, we found all that we needed to. Jack, baby. I need you to stay calm.” I explain to him, after

seeing Chad limp out of his office beaten and bloody I knew that Jack had a temper that sometimes

needed to be checked.

                “What happened?” He asks full of concern.

                I explain the events after we left the mall and our current condition, how we were able to be

saved by Beast.

                “I’m on my way!”

                “NO!” I yell before he can hangup. “Darlin’ I need to get to you now!” He growls.

                “Don’t growl at me! I didn’t mean to yell, but I meant that Dr. Lawrence, by the grace of the

goddess, was at the mall. He’s helping Jojo right now and we’re about to leave to get back to the pack

hospital.” I finish explaining.

                “Fine, but if you’re not here in twenty minutes I’m sendin’ a search party.” He said sternly.

                I agree and hang up. I look over and see Dr. Lawrence giving Jojo a shot, I assume that it’s some

kind of pain killers so she doesn’t go into shock.

Then we split up between the doctor and Beast cars.

                Eddie was right, both guys got us at the pack territory in fifteen minutes. The moment we stop

my door is yanked open and I’m engulfed in massive arms.

                “Oh thank the goddess, Darlin’. Are you hurt at all?” He lets me go and starts looking me over.

                “No, love. My head just hurts, but that’s starting to slowly subside. I just feel a little sore.” I say

as he pulls me to the hospital doors. Sebastian rushes past us with Jojo in his arms as fast as he can

without running while Dr. Lawrence is right behind him.

                We’re in the hospital room, we just finished completing tests and were waiting for the results.

                After waiting an hour, the door opens and in walks the doctor.

                “Well Ms….” He looks at the clipboard that held my paperwork, “Ms. Murphy, I received your

Results, and I have to say, Luna, you are…. Astonishing to say the least. I’m not sure how else to explain

it.” He said dumbfounded. “I’ve never seen anything like it. I need to speak with the elders, because this

is rarer than I’ve ever seen, supernatural and not.”

                “Ok… Can you elaborate? I’m fine with needin’ to speak with the elders, but what exactly is

Surprisin’ you in this manor?” Jack asks.

                “Well, it seems that you, Ms. Murphy, your healing abilities for yourself are above the average

human, and it seems that your blood contains some kind of mana.” Dr. Lawrence looks at me and

explains.

                “What’s mana?” I ask confused.

                “If given to someone it is a type of sustenance, if a person has it in their own body such as you

do then typically it means that you are in some way directly connected to the goddess herself.” He says

excitedly.

                “Well, it sounds like we know what it is. Why do you make it sound like it’s rare?” I question.

                “Darlin’, just because we know about it, doesn’t mean it’s common.” I nod my head

understanding. He turns to Dr. Lawrence. “How long will it take for your to speak with the Elders?”

                “I’m not sure honestly. A day or two? When I reach out to them via email I’ll make sure to

include you in it so we know what the results are.” Dr. Lawrence answers while walking out the door.

                The nurse comes in and discharges me. I see Jojo and Sebastian come out at the same time.

                “What? I got a broken arm and had to get a cast. How did we take just as long?” Jojo asks

astonished.

                “I had blood work done and apparently the results were strange and took a while.” I explain.

                They nod their heads, and we start walking back to the packhouse which is very close and within

walking distance of the hospital.

                We walk into the back doors which leads directly into the kitchen. On the huge counter tops

there’s a large variety of different sides; coleslaw, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, asparagus and

many more. On the island, waiting to go out to the backyard where the grill was located, was sitting filet

mignon, ribeye, brisket, the largest, meatiest and juice ribs that I have EVER seen. My mouth started

watering instantly. I was looking at this meat like I wanted to make love to it and still take it home to my

Momma.

                I hear a small giggle and look up to see a young omega sneak a peak at me and stifle a laugh. I

couldn’t blame her, the look I had on my face was one as if I hypnotized by this meat.

                I shook my head to clear the fog out of my head to see the omega putting a small appetizer

plate of sides and gave it to me.

                “I apologize, Luna, the meat won’t be ready until later tonight once your parents and the other

ranked females’ parents arrive. However, I put together this small plate for you of the sides to tide you

over until then.” The young lady explains.

                “Oh my goddess! That’s so sweet thank you so much!” I felt so comfortable by this gesture that I

leaned in and gave her hug.

                “Please let me know if there’s anything I can do for you. What’s your name?” I ask her.

                She beams at me, “My name is—”

                “CLARIE!!!” The omega jumps as her name is screamed by Ms. Harper. “Don’t be bothering the

Luna, she has better things to do than to stand here chitchatting with you.” She places her hands on

hers and gives her a stern look.

                “Oh no! It’s no bother really, I don’t mi—” I get cut off my Ms. Harper.

                “No, it is a bother they’re told specifically to leave the ranked members alone. We know you

have better things to do.” She grabs Clarie’s arm and pulls her back to her work in the kitchen.

                I find it odd that Ms. Harper is being a little harsh just for me to be speaking with her. And who

even creates a rift like that between the ranked members and it’s pack? I plan to speak with Jack about

this, because if I’m expected to be Luna then that’s not how I want our pack to be run. I look back at the

kitchen once more, Clarie and I make eye contact and she gives me a sad smile. I look over at Ms. Harper

and she’s aggressively shopping carrots. I make a mental note to keep an eye on her. Something feels

off, I just can’t put my finger on it.

Later that night, Jack and I are getting ready for the parents to arrive.

                “How are you feelin’?” Jack asks checking up on me. “I feel good honestly. My headache is

completely gone. I don’t feel sore in anyway. It’s weird. It makes me think back, and I can’t remember a

time when I get sick for very long. Then, when I did it would be over quicker than I ever knew anyone

else to be able to get sick.” I explain to him.

                He lifts his eyebrows shocked. “Wow, that must’ve been nice…” he trails off thinking of something.

                “Jack? Honey? Everything ok?” I ask a little concerned.

                “Yes, it just makes me wonder how your transformation would be for you. Normally, when a

regular person gets bit and is changin’ to become a werewolf, they have seizures, they throw up, they

have body aches. If you’ve rarely ever been sick because of some ability, then I wonder if you’ll have the

typical symptoms.” I thought about it for a moment, all of them symptoms he just described sounded

terrible. So, if I had some ability to bypass is all, I’ll take it!

                I go over to the bags with my new clothes and pull out my outfit. I start to put it on when jack

comes over dressed in a casual salmon colored shirt with tan shorts. He notices a piece of clothing

poking out of the bag. He looks confused as he pulls it out. His confusion turned to shock and shock

turned to excitement as he saw the red and lace garter belt.

                “Put this on. Now!” He says and tries to take off my clothes.” I giggles as I push away his hands.

                “No!” I laugh, “trust me, lover. This is for later tonight.” I say sensually.

                He looks at me, then back at the belt, then back at me. “You’re tellin’ me, that I have to know

that you have this and WAIT?!”

                “Yes. Patience comes to those wait.” He scowls at me and throws the belt back in the bag. We

head downstairs just in time to see our parents being escorted into the foyer.

                “MOM! DAD!” I throw myself in their arms, temporarily ignoring Jojo and Scar’s parents.

                “Mom how is it that each time I see you, you get more beautiful?” I ask.

                “Oh stop, sweety.” She laughs, even her laugh sounds like heavenly bells.

                “How’s my little girl doing?” My dad asks.

                “I’m ok, I’ve had an odd week, learned some new things about myself and…” I turn and grab

Jack’s arm, “I’ve met a man. Mom, dad, this is Jack. Jack, these are my parents. Mr. Kane Murphy and

Mrs. Dawn Murphy.”

                “It’s a pleasure to meet you ma’am and sir.” He shakes their hands.

                Just then we hear squealing and see Jojo and Scar coming running forward to their parents.

                “Oh my! JOJO! What happened to your arm?” Her mom, Cleo, asks concerned.

                “Well, we got in an accident earlier.” She answered simply. That’s good since we couldn’t

explain too much. The obviously didn’t know about werewolves and we weren’t going to tell them about

it either.

                “Wow, I leave you with the wolves for not even a week and you already break you arm?” Her

dad, Damion, asked.

                “WHAT?!?!” Jojo, Scar and I scream at me. “How do you know about werewolves?” Scar asks.

                “C’mon, now Scarlett. You couldn’t think that all of us parents would hangout as much as we do

and nothing is learned of each other.” Scar’s mom, Harley, stated matter of fact.

                “Why do you think Jolene’s and Genevieve’s parents were so ok with both of them moving in

here. They knew what they were, and they figured that if these girls would do something like that then

they would only do it for their mates.” Her dad, Zane, answered.

                I whipped my around to look at my parents. I couldn’t believe it. Well, at least I wouldn’t have to

break any news to them.

                “I don’t know about Jojo, but this takes a huge load off my shoulders.” I blow out a breath, I look

over and Jojo looks relieved too.

                “Great! Now that we got that out of the way. How about we head to the backyard and we can

grab some drinks and get to know each other better?” Jack asks directing everyone to come and relax.
