Running Free Luna "Completed"

Chapter 12

“Matt’s p.o.v”

I did exactly what the Luna ordered, ignoring my alpha for the first time ever in my life. I’m normally the perfect second, I enforce the law an the rules without mercy. But when I needed mercy, the Luna gave it without question. I was so grateful, to Luna Millie that she was on my side. I didn’t want to reject my mate without talking to her first. I cradled her into my arms as fast an softly as I could. When I picked her up from Millies lap. She looked so exhausted an weak, why was she not taking care of herself I wondered.

She smelled like fresh blood mixed with her wonderful scent of Skittles and Starburst my favorite candies. When I placed her into the SUV I checked her for wounds. I couldn’t find anything but a couple of broken knuckles on her hands from hitting something very hard. She had fresh blood along her neck on the right side, that had moved down her arm but it wasn’t hers thank the goddess.

She clenched her tiny hands to my shirt an wouldn’t let go. I pulled her close to my chest in the backseat I could tell she was in some kind of fight just recently but I wasn’t sure what had happened. For now I just held her close as she slept. A few hours passed as the SUV drove along. I felt her move in my arms, my eyes flew open. She was sitting up next to me wide awake now.

“Hello, mate, I’m Phoebe.” She said in this higher pitched voice but it was so sweet. She paused a moment. “I apologize for creating such a commotion, I was fighting off a male rogue when I finally picked up your scent. I’ve been looking for you for awhile now. I had almost given up hope to finding you.” She smiled softly. Before I could speak she kissed me, I felt thousands of electrical shocks running throughout my body.

When she finally pulled away she laughed. “What’s your name?” I spoke this time, but my voice was shy like I’ve never been so nervous around a she-wolf before, compared to hers. “I’m Matthew” That’s when the driver looked back at us in the mirror. I felt a surge of jealousy go through my body, I instantly sat up. Wrapping my arms around her, slightly moving infront of her so she was behind me. An spoke in my beta voice. “Eyes forward soldier!” I commanded. “Yes Beta!” he replied. Looking forward. I didn’t want any other male to look at my mate that way. She was mine!

“Oh, you’re the beta of your pack!? My father was a beta as well. So I guess it makes since my mate would be also.” She cooed at me over my shoulder softly touching my arm. “I’m 19, both of my parents passed away so I decided to go out an look for my mate, well essentially to look for you.” She said with a big smile.

When I turned back around to look at her. “That’s very interesting. Yes I’m the Beta in The Bloody Mountain Moon pack. I’m 24. My mother is still alive though. I’m sorry about your parents.” There was silence between us for a few moments. I could tell she was thinking about something. “Wooow! My mate is a very fearsome fighter in battle aren't you? I’ve only heard stories about your pack.” She giggled at me.

“Don’t worry baby, I’ll protect you.” I goofily teased her with a smirk on my face. I handed her some wet whips. “I have a fresh shirt in the back if you’d like to change out of this bloody one.” I asked her softly “Oh! Yes, that’d be great thank you so much. I lost my backpack when I was dealing with that rouge. But when I caught your scent I wanted to follow it right away.” I turned over the chair an fished a clean shirt out of my bag an handed it to her. I opened my jacket an took it off holding it up around her so she could change into it an clean off the blood in private.

“Aren’t we close to the borderline of your pack? I kinda know where I am but I’m not to familiar with the area.” she asked nicely. “Yes, where still about another four an half hours out.” When she was done she pulled my jacket from my hands an wrapped it around herself. She looked so small in my clothes, she couldn’t be any taller than about 5’7” eyeballing it. She’s so little compared to me. She must think I’m a giant.

“You know, you smell so lovely. Like mint chocolate an ice cream.” She signed falling back onto my chest wrapping my arms around her little waist. “Is this okay?” she said looking up at me. “Its fine.” I replied as she snuggled up into my lap.

“Phoebe can I tell you something without you getting mad?” I asked in a low voice. “Okay?” Her voice even lower when she responded. “Please don’t think I’m going to reject you. Cause I’m not. But you might after I say this.” I paused for a moment taking a deep breath then I continued on. “When you came out of the bushes, we all thought you were a rogue. My pack has a law or it did till the Luna just changed it. I was about to reject you, cause the alpha doesn't accept Rogues into the pack. I didn’t want to an I think the Luna could tell. She’s the one who stood up for us. That allowed me to bring you with us.” I paused again, choking on my words each one feeling like a knife in my heart.

But I wanted to be truthful with her. “I see, well I apologize for the misunderstanding. But as I have explained I'm not a rogue, you can call my pack down in Houston if you want to confirm this. They will tell you I left 11 months ago. After my parents passed away. Do you still wish to accept me as a mate?” she asked right away. “Yes, if you will have me? You understand what you’d be taking on right?” “Yes, Mattie" she cooed instantly at me, she kissed my cheek an snuggled back down on my chest.

I felt our bodies relax together. After a few moments, I mind-linked my Luna. “Thank you Luna. I’m going to keep Phoebe. If that is okay?” a few seconds passed an she replied. “Your Welcome Matt! I can’t wait to finally meet her! Please take good care of her.” I spoke out loud softly “Without a doubt!” holding my mate close to myself.

I truly felt at peace, finally.
