THE UNTAMED LUNA

SUPPORTIVE "DAD" I HAVE

"When I turn eighteen. They are going to help me. I will need some physical training to prepare my body. But it will be fine. I can do this; I know I can."

"I believe you sweetie. You have always been special. You are my only hope for better things. You can do anything"

Mom says.

"It also seems that Marvin is the Alpha of the community. He's the leader."

I told her.

"Well, that comes as no surprise. He's a good choice for the position. He's smart and kind. I'm sure he's a great leader. I remember they used to call Marvin's dad that. I always assumed it was a nickname. I didn't realize it was a title."

She adds.

"And I assume that means you will have some sort of position one day as the Alpha's wife? they call it Luna of the pack?" Mom asked.

"Yes, they call her Luna. Jolina has the position right now. I will take over one day. She will teach me what to do."I said

"Ahh yeah, you will be a wonderful Luna. You are a lot like Jolina. So, caring about others and being smart. It's no wonder you are Alpha Marvin's mate. It was meant to be." Mom said as she puts her hand on my cheek. She had tears in her eyes.

"Mom, are you okay? What's wrong?"

I ask.

"Nothing sweetie. I just see so much of your father in you. I denied it for years. But now I can admit it. You look so much like him. And you are a strong young woman. I'm so proud of you."

she said.

"Thank you; that means so much to me. I am going to do my best for our kind. I hope I don't disappoint them."

I sighed

"You won't. I'm sure of it."

She gave me a long hug.

"Now we have to tell Dad that you will be dating your teacher. Any ideas on how we should do that?" She asks.

"Don't ask me; you're the one who did this before, remember?" I said jokingly.

"Oh, are you kidding? Your grandpa would have killed Robert. I never told them. They were all the way here in Zamboanga. What they didn't know wouldn't hurt them."

She laughs lightly.

"You didn't even tell them when you came home pregnant?" I asked her while she looked at me in the eye.

"Nope. I told them I had met a guy at school who died in an accident. That was it. I never spoke about it again." She confesses.

"Okay, we will just have to hope that Dad is more understanding than Grandpa would have been."

I suggest.

"He is, I'm sure of it. He has proved to be a kind and understanding man over the years. He never even made me tell him about your father."

Mom said

"Alright, let's do this."

I pull her up by the hand, and we go downstairs to freak out my poor dad.

I have never met a man as kind, even-tempered, and reasonable as my dad. Even though there is no blood relation between us, in my heart, he is still my father, who truly accepted and loved me unconditionally.

"So, are you guys taking this seriously?" Dad asks.

But even he had a little problem with our story. He was still worried. He asked so many questions that we really didn't have them answered. He asked so many questions that we really didn't have the answers. And yet, he understands and accepts it.

"I will be dating my teacher Marvin. He is a nice guy, and you can trust him. Sorry, Dad, I know I'm too young for a relationship, but I'll try to talk to Marvin. I won't allow my future to be ruined for the sake of what we have. I love you both, and I don't want to break your trust in me."

I explained. I immediately took the lead on what he might think about the two of us. Because I want to reassure him every time I'm with Marvin.

The sadness was obvious on my parents' faces. If only I could change what was destined for me, I would. I just don't want to see them hurt. For one day, I am leaving home and going to live with the Wolf's family. He may not be happy about it, but he did eventually give me his blessing. And that means so much to me.

Mom and I explained the need to be close to one another. I know Dad wants the best for me and doesn't want me to suffer. So, he agreed to spend more time with Alpha Marvin. But I don't think he will be letting me move in for now. Mom and I are both relieved that he is so understanding.

"Hey, how are you there?"

Tagi says, when we get a video call in my room before I'm going to sleep.

"Well, definitely, I'm good! But emotionally, I'm not so sure." I say. Then she laughed at me.

"Okay then, tell your parents I miss them too. I hope you can take a vacation back here in Surigao." She said, and drank her milk in a glass.

"Hey Jezz, how are you? Can you ask your mom why you are getting fat?" Auntie Linda says it's my best friend's mother. She inserted herself into our video calls. I laugh at her because those words are not so serious. She just likes to tease me and now after saying she smiled at me.

"Okay, Auntie, I will send your kisses and hugs to her." I said it with a smile too. After the long talks, we cut our video calls. Then I sent a text message to Alpha Marvin.

"Dad wanted to speak to you privately. He also wants to see the whole wolf thing with his own eyes. Mom wants to see it too. So, Mom will talk to Jolina about the setup, and the three of us will go over there."

"OK" the only words he replied to me. At this time I knew he was doing something or maybe he was sleepy, so I didn't send another message.

I fall asleep and dream of Marvin again. This time he's in his wolf form. I am not. I chased him all over the woods. We play, run, and just have a good time.

When I wake up, it's already morning, and the sun is up. So, I got up immediately and fixed myself. I was going through a shower, then suddenly my stomach got hurt and I was about to vomit. I have to endure this feeling. I want to fight these trials that I will face. So, after getting dressed, I went downstairs. Mom makes me eat something. She is sympathetic about how bad I feel. She has been there.

"Marvin will be here soon, sweetie. You will be fine. Go grab your bag, alright?" I walk slowly and grab my stuff. She hands me a packed lunch.

"This is all I have; you can go straight to his room at lunch." She said.

"Thank you so much, Mom; I love you." I told her as I went to the front door. I am already starting to perk up. Then I saw Alpha Marvin was already parked in front of the house. Wow! my body can sense within, finally feeling relieved knowing that he is near. That's crazy. I felt alive, like normal.

I walked out of the house with a big smile on my face. He lights up when he sees me. As soon as I get in his car, the amazing smell and his presence take over my body. I took a big breath. It's as if this was the first real breath I have taken since I left him last night.

"Better?" He asks with that deep voice. I noticed that he had a sexy body. I can say that he is like one of the male models on the billboards in the city. Using his finger, he brushed his hair in front of me, and I wish I could do that.

"Yes, much better. Thank you for picking me up."

I replied.

"It's my pleasure love. I couldn't wait to see you either. Everything is right again as soon as I'm with you."

He lifts his hand to push some curls out of my face but catches himself right before he makes contact.

"Sorry, I just can't help myself. It's getting so much harder not to touch you."

He admits. I just smiled sadly and nodded as I agreed. Then we headed off to school.

Mom called the school principal's office this morning. To talk about what is in me with my English teacher and the two boys.

Then the principal agreed and said he would make sure that there weren't any rumors being spread about us. That was a relief. I would hate for Marvin to get into any trouble because of me. But that only takes care of the teachers. The other students are another story entirely.

The twins said they would start telling people that our families are very close and that they all think of me as their sister. That should help a little. At least I will stop getting dirty glares from some of their admirers. It's so sad that they will have to search for their mates. There are no other girls in their community.

We went to my locker, and then we proceeded to his classroom. It's still early, he needs to arrive before the students. He makes sure to lock the classroom door behind us. It's not like we will be caught holding hands or kissing. I can only wish. But we could be having a private conversation about wolves, I suppose.
