The forgotten luna

Leanne’s pov Waking up to the delicious smell of pancakes coming from the other room I look over at Richelle, my older sister by a year, who always sleeps in. I get up and throw on some clothes before going into the kitchen. Mom is standing at the stove and looks up and says “happy almost birthday my little plum.” She was always giving us weird food nicknames. Besides the fact that she was home seeing mom cook was an odd sight. I was usually the one to cook as mom was never home. She was as the humans would say a workaholic. No one in the pack blamed her though she raised both of us girls by herself since we were both still pups. I wasn’t even born yet when her mate got cursed with the sickness and turned into a rouge. Mom was strong though most people who lost a mate died shortly after it happened. A lot of people said it was because she was pregnant with me that she even survived the loss. When mom wasn’t at work she usually could be found at the pack house with Luna Chloe. They were best friends which was another odd thing about my mom being an omega but best friends with the Luna. Anyways mom always made a big deals out of our birthdays and mine happened to be tomorrow. I’d turn 18 and be able to find my mate. Although I don’t really want one, even if I could never voice the words as I would be cast out as an outcast. Everyone looked for their mate as soon as they were able to some even before. “Thanks mom” “Did you sleep good? Is your sister still asleep? “ yeah I slept good” I lied but mom never paid enough attention to notice. “Also I’m pretty sure Richelle would sleep the rest of the week if we let her.” “Well she will miss out on pancakes then.” Just then as of on cue knowing we were talking about her she emerges. “Who said something about pancakes.” “Oh my little blueberry you’re awake perfect timing get some candles so we can sing to your sister!” Richelle looks over at me and raises an eyebrow in question. “You know her birthday is tomorrow right?” She laughs “yes of course I know but I will be working overtime tomorrow as it’s also the new alphas ceremony. I promised the Luna I would work it so I could get a bonus to get you girls some new things before winter.” She looks down and I know that she’s telling the truth. I can’t be mad at her for working. Alpha Cam was taking over the pack tomorrow and it was a big deal as it happened to be his 18th birthday also. I told mom thanks for the pancakes and not to worry about a present as the pancakes were more then enough. I headed back to the room to grab my school stuff before heading to school. It was my last year and I couldn’t be more happy about finishing school in the spring. I had almost no friends. Except for the soon to be Alpha and that’s because our moms forced us to be friends from a young age. The only problem was his girlfriend hated me so we never hung out at school. As soon as I get to the school I see Cam. He does a small wave before his girlfriend looks over at who he was waving at and glares at me. I walk past and say “Hi Cam” with a smirk on my face. He shakes his head at me with a grin before returning all his attention to a very upset Brittany. I always got good grades as school was easy for me I was top of my class and I didn’t even have to try. Maybe that’s why I didn’t enjoy school since I wasn’t even challenged in class. Sitting down at my desk I pulled out my notebook and started a doodle before Mrs. B came in and told us that she wasn’t going to assign any new assignments until after the celebration tomorrow. I rolled my eyes yes Cam was my best friend but he wasn’t that big of a deal. Maybe it was the fact I grew up with him but Cam was a good looking guy well over six feet tall, wide shoulders, and those green eyes. The eyes were always the thing that got me about Cam I could get lost in them. Looking down at my doodle I realize I drew his eyes without even thinking about it. I quickly crumbled my paper and reminded myself I would be in for some much unwanted bullying if Brittany saw my doodle. Even though I was a smaller she wolf at only five foot three inches I could still hold my own in a fight. Although Brittany never attacked me herself I always knew it was her that sent her squad of four to five others to beat me up everytime she thought me and Cam were to close. As school finished out for the day and everyone was either gone or headed to whatever practice they were at I heard the familiar purr of an engine behind me as I walked home. I turned around as he stopped the car and rolled his window down. “Get in L” “Oh yeah and why should I?” “Come on you know your mom and sister are already at the pack house I know that’s where you’re headed.” He was right I was “maybe I want to walk. Besides I don’t think you’re overly jealous girlfriend would like that.” I stick my tounge out mocking him as he opens the side door from the inside. I get in and instantly feel warm. Something about Cam just calms me. “So are you ready to finally be eighteen and be a real wolf now.” I look over at him. Sometimes I don’t think he gets just how different we really are. I sigh. “I’m nervous but also kinda glad I get to go through all this with an Alpha. That way if I do something embarrassing no one will even notice me over you”. He laughs while I roll my eyes at him. He parks and we go inside. The pack house is amazing and as a little girl I always imagined living in the pack house instead of our little town house. “Leeanne honeybun in here!” I turn to see my mom waving from the kitchen. I swear that woman has a nose like no one else nothing gets past her when it comes to scents. I head into the kitchen to help with the rest of the preparations until it’s all finished. I do t bother telling Cam bye when I leave as Brittany is here and she would just cause a scene.
