The Young Luna

Chapter 13

.

I slept in my bed but just as I was beginning to fall asleep, Seth slipped in beside me once more.

Neither of us said anything as he cuddled me from behind – his large body engulfing mine in the best

way possible. But we both made an unspoken decision not to acknowledge the budding relationship

between us.

In the morning, Seth nudged me awake as he climbed out of the bed. "May...May...Mabel, you need to

get up. You start school today".

"Fuck no" I complained.

"May, come on" he groaned in annoyance.

"Alright, alright, I'm getting up. Don't get your panties in a twist".

"Just get ready. Dean will drop you off at school. He'll be here in thirty minutes" Seth told me, before ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

heading out my room and down to his. I sat up in the bed, pushing my crazy curls away from my face

with a groan.

I got up and showered, before pulling on a pair of jeans and a white shirt. My hair was as unruly as

normal, so I just braided it before throwing my gym kit into a bag and my school supplies into another. I

hated school but a small part of me was excited – no one could bully me at my new school, because I

was the Luna so I would have all the Werewolf students to defend me if I couldn't fight.

"Have you got your phone on you?" Seth asked, as I swallowed some breakfast quickly. He walked into

the room, attaching his diamond cufflinks on his perfectly pressed suit. I imagined that if Seth didn't

wear suits every day that he may look a little younger and less serious.

"Yeah it's in my bag" I nodded.

"Alright" Seth nodded, "well just let me know if there are any problems. I will see you this evening". He

paused in the doorway, his back to me, before sighing and turning around. He walked to me with

purpose, full of dominance and strength, before he grabbed me. Bending down he kissed me deeply.

I was shocked with his kiss at first before I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him back. His

lips fought against mine, claiming them as his own and ruining them for any other man. I melted into

him as body as we kissed deeply.

It was Seth who broke the kiss, when a horn blared outside, but I could feel his reluctance. I smiled up

at him as a scowled formed on his face. "I'll see you tonight".

"Hmm, yes, tonight" he muttered, distracted. I smiled up at him, before grabbing my bags and running

outside. Dean was sat behind the wheel of his car, tapping his watch like an annoyed old woman.

"Look if I have to be a soccer mum and do the school run, at least be ready at the right time" Dean

grumbled, as I climbed into the car.

"You're a grumpy bastard in the morning".

"And you're a raging bitch all time of the day" he countered.

"Touché" I smirked. Due to Dean's bad mood we made minimal chat as we drove to my new high

school. Even though I was excited, I also had nervous butterflies in my stomach as we neared the

school.

"Don't sweat it, just stick with Shawna and Javier and you'll be fine" Dean said, noticing my anticipation.

"They were good picks on your behalf, both are good and strong Wolves".

"Okay" I commented with a shrug. Dean pulled up at the school and I took a calming breath before I

climbed out the car. Dean followed me and I noticed him waving two people towards us. I quickly

worked out they were Shawna and Javier.

Shawna was so beautiful that I instantly regretted by decision – her flawless skin so black it almost had

a blue tinge to it. Her braids fell all the way to her lower back and her body was both curvy and muscled

at the same time. I felt to inferior to her; she was unworldly beautiful. I would never be as beautiful as

her.

"Luna" she grinned at me, her teeth perfectly straight and white. "I am honestly so honoured that you

chose me. My parents were so proud".

"You can call me May" I smiled. I was shocked with how nice she seemed, I imagined that if I looked so

perfect that I probably would be even more of a bitch than I was now.

Shawna grinned even brighter, "May. Sure, I will do".

"Luna, I hope you feel safe with us" Javier commented, his Mexican accent thick. Javier was tall, with

wide shoulder, his dark hair tied into a small ponytail at the back of his head.

"Right you kids have a great day" Dean grinned, winking mockingly at me.

"Fuck off Dean" I rolled my eyes. Shawna and Javier widened their eyes in shocked as Dean laughed,

punched my shoulder, before climbing back into his car.

"Come on May, I've already reserved you a locker next to mine" Shawna grinned, linking her arm

through mine and pulling me towards the house. Javier followed us instantly but stayed silent, I could

already tell he spoke little. But that was fine, I understood that.

Shawna was nice and chatted my ear off as she walked me through the crowded school corridor. I

realised that a large number of Wolves went to the school, as many smiled and waved at me. As much

as I was terrified inside, on the outside I smiled and said hello to each one. I needed to keep reminding

myself that I couldn't skate under the radar at this school, because I was their leader. I was a Luna.

Shawna had cleared a locker next to hers and I threw my gym bag inside, not having any books or

anything to put in it yet, before Javier pulled my schedule from his rucksack. "So between the two of us,

we've pretty much got your schedule covered. Except your last period before lunch, which is gym,

neither of us are in that class" he explained.

"It's cool. Despite what Seth thinks, I can survive a few hours alone without getting myself killed" I

replied. Shawna giggled and playfully hit my shoulder.

"You're so funny" she complimented. I wasn't really funny, but I could see she was desperate for me to

like her. And I did like her, so I smiled warmly with at her to encourage her. "So we have first period

history together. You ready?" she grinned.

"Yep".

"I'll see you for second period Luna" Javier said.

"May" I correct him. He grinned before nodding and disappearing off. Shawna linked her arm through

mine and we walked to first period. Shawna was obviously nervous around me because she chatted

non-stop as we walked in and took a seat.

"So I hear you're the soccer captain" I said, changing the subject and trying to ease her nervousness.

We took seats in the middle of the classroom as the students flooded in around us.

"Yes. I was co-captain but the other girl transferred last semester, so now I am full captain".

"That's cool. I was captain in my last school" I explained. She gasped in happiness, reaching over to

grab my arm.

"Girl! You have to join the team. We could be co-captains". She was giddy with the idea.

I laughed softly, "I'm not interested in taking your captain status away. I have enough leading to do".

"Yeah but it isn't right me telling you what to do. You're my Luna".

I shrugged, "on the soccer field I am nothing but a midfielder".

"We have training tomorrow after school. I can drive you home after".

"Sure sounds like a plan" I grinned and she squealed happily. Just then the teacher came in and we fell

silent, but I could practically feel Shawna's giddiness from beside me.

School was very different when I was popular. The Pack Wolves couldn't stop giving me attention, they

wanted to talk to me and get to know me. Which I understood; I was the mother of their Pack and they

were all very excited to get to know me. A Pack was a family and I had just mated the father, of course

they were enthusiastic.

So I was kind and warm, speaking to all of them and being as truthful as I could – which was hard

when they asked about Seth. I wasn't sure how not to tell them that their Alpha was a giant dickhead

with a brain only in his pants. But, I managed.

Javier showed me to the gym for my final period before lunch, before telling me he'd meet me for lunch

with Shawna. I was sure that neither Shawna or Javier hung out a lot before they were chosen to guard

me, but they happily spent their time together if it meant being with me and looking after me.

I got changed into my gym kit, before heading inside the gym with the other students, noticing that

there weren't as many Wolves in my gym class as my others. "Hola Luna" a voice called from behind

me. "No eres lo que yo pensaba" the boy said to me in Spanish.

"I'm not what you expected? Then what did you expect?" I asked.

"Not you" he replied. He was a tall attractive boy, with deep brown skin and prominent dimples on

either side of his lopsided smile. His dark hair was shaved at the side, with a dark quaff in the middle –

his entire persona screamed rebel without a cause.

"How did you know I spoke Spanish?" I demanded, knowing I took after my white father more than my

mother had ever liked.

"Small and feisty, you're like my entire family. What are your roots?"

"My mother's Columbian. You?"

"Mexican, both parents. Then they had the genius idea of moving to the US and joining this Pack" he

rolled his eyes.

"You don't like the Pack".

"I join a Pack and within months they declare one of the biggest wars ever. I just don't particularly like

the Pack" he explained. I paused for a moment, before he offered me his hand to shake. I shook it

without hesitation. "Rafa Nix". His name rang a bell in his head and I remembered Seth and Josh

speaking about a situation that had involved Rafa.

Before I could say anything the gym teacher walked in and called us over. "Let's see what ya made of,

duendecita" he winked at me.

I had a feeling I'd just met trouble...or rather trouble had just met me.
