Leader of the pack

Up In Smoke

A few weeks later and everything was going smoothly, I was now sleeping in the same bed as Chris, with Max snuggling in occasionally, because he was sharing a room with one of the other toddlers, Jay kept his head down and I fully took my role a Luna. I was sitting on the steps at the back of the house, I lit a cigarette and started smoking, “Luna I don’t think the Alpha would be happy about this” Chad one of the Deltas said coming up and sitting beside me “did you want one” I said handing him the packet “when have I ever said no to something that’s free” he said taking one a lighting it “I have to go into town soon, did you want to come” he said exhaling “aren't you too young to be smoking your only seventeen” he said giving me a questioning look “aren't you too young to be my father” I said and we both laughed, I quickly put my cigarette out as Chris walked out the back door, “did you want something” I said turning around to face him “I think that’s my queue to leave” Chad said standing up “I’ll talk to you later” I said before he walked away the cigarette still in his mouth, “what were you guys talking about” Chris said giving me a curious look “I’m gonna go into town with him later on” I said taking out the pack of cigarettes and lighting up another one, Chris grabbed it out of my hands and put it out before breaking it in half, then he took the packet and crumpled it “you’re not to smoke again do you understand me” he said anger in his voice “don’t you dare tell me what I can and can’t do, just because you happen to be my mate and the alpha doesn’t mean you can treat me like a two year old” I said standing up but I suddenly sat back down, I was feeling really dizzy “Lil what’s wrong” Chris said sounding worried “I fine just leave me alone” I shouted at him “no” he said back “I’m taking you to see the doc” Chris said pulling me to my feet. As soon as we got to the infirmary Chris pushed me down into a chair “I’m fine, I don’t need to see anyone, and I think I’ll just take a nap” I said getting up “just sit down please” he said taking my hand in his “fine, it’s probably nothing, this is just a waste of time” I said sitting back down, the doctor came in moments later “Alpha, Luna what seems to be the matter” he said pulling up a chair “nothing’s wrong I’m fine, but Chris here thinks there’s something wrong” I said glaring at Chris “she got really dizzy as soon as she stood up “I probably stood up to fast that’s all” I said giving the doc a smile “what were you doing before you felt dizzy” the doc said “I was smoking” I said hanging my head in shame “and how many did you smoke” he said grabbing a piece of paper “two” I said looking over at Chris “and over the last few days what have you been eating” the doc said “hardly anything” Chris said under his breath “fruit mainly, I don’t eat a lot anyway” I said giving the doc another smile “well this is an easy fix, try eating a bit more especially meat and take it easy, that means no exercise of any kind and try to ease up on the smoking” the Doc said standing up “thanks Doc” I said standing up and walking out of the infirmary “see I told you nothing was wrong” I said walking into the lounge, I sat down on an armchair, and soon Max trotted in “how’s my little man” I said picking him up and putting him on my lap “what’s this” I said as he pulled out a toy car “broom, broom” Max said waving the car up and down “that’s right it’s a broom, broom” I said giving him a smile, “Chad” I called as Chad walked through the room “you ready to go” he said coming over and picking up Max, Chads younger brother Ben was the same age as Max, “give me two shakes of a lambs tail” I said walking up the stairs, a few minuted later I was down stairs and ready to go. As soon as we got to the shopping centre, we walked around “Chad I need you to buy me some cigarettes” I said in a low voice “you had nearly half a packet left” he said looking down at me “Chris got rid of them” I said folding my arms, we walked around for a few hours before Chad said we should go home, As soon as we got to the car, I slumped against it coughing like mad “Luna what’s wrong” Chad said putting a hand on my shoulder “nothing, I’m fine” I said standing up and getting into the car. When we got back to the pack house I walked into the lounge, I walked up to the book case and hid the cigarettes at the back behind the books “Luna” said somebody behind me, I whipped around to see Chris’ mum “you nearly gave me a heart attack” I said breathing a sigh of relief “I was wondering if you were going to the meeting tomorrow night” she said bowing her head in respect “meeting what meeting” I said, nobody mentioned a meeting “the annual meeting where all the Alphas and Luna’s across America join together to discuss pack matters” she said “no mam nobody has told me about this meeting” I said bowing my head in respect “please call me Melody” she said giving me a smile “call me Lily, I hate being called Luna it feels like your calling me a moon” I said laughing “well I’m here if you need anything Lily” she said laughing before I turned and walked off the Chris’ office, I pushed open the door without knocking “when were you going to tell me” I said yelling at Chris “Jackson give us a minute” Chris said looking bewildered “no Jackson you stay right where you are” I yelled, Jackson looked confused about who’s orders to follow “when the hell were you going to tell me about the meeting” I said folding my arms “well you’re not going now so I doesn't matter” Chris said sitting back down in his chair “of course I’m going to that meeting, just because the doctor agrees with you, just because you’re the Alpha and Nickolas will just so happen to be there doesn't mean I’m not going, don’t you care about what I have to say, you know what have fun sleeping on the couch from now on” I yelled putting my hands on my hips while glaring at him “I’m just trying to keep you safe, of course I care what you think, I just don’t want you hurting yourself, your already sick I don’t want it to get worse” he said leaning forward putting his face in his hands “pull yourself together you big baby, you are a twenty two year old man who is not two, I’m not going to get any sicker, stop being so over protective, but I don’t forgive you for not telling me so your still sleeping on the couch” I said turning on my heel and walking out the room.
