For the next few days William and a group of men work from sun up to sun down in order to get the perimeter built up. William has always loved to build things, just look at our house. This is the happiest I have seen my brother in a while. And I am glad he is happy.
While he is working with the perimeter with his crew Steve comes over to hang out with me. We talk about our childhoods, he tells me what it's like to be an alpha, he thanks me several more time for the freezer full of meat for the pack, we talk about how many people are in this community and many other topics. One of the conversations we had shocked me. When he came over Friday morning he asked me if I wanted to go for a walk down to the river. I smiled and grabbed my thongs and we were off. Once we got down to the water we took off our shoes and put our feet in the water. Then he leaned over and kissed my cheek. He pulled away quickly and apologized. I liked it but was to nervous to move in for more. That's when we dropped the bomb on me.
" I hope I didn't upset you but it has been hard these last two weeks trying to stay away from you. You are my mate and this packs Luna. I knew the minute I saw you the first time my stupid sister attacked you."
"How did you know? No you didn't upset me, I actually have wanted to kiss you for a while now. But I don't know how to be a Luna I am human, can I be human and be the Luna? How can it work?"
"We will work through it. The moon goddess brought us together so it has to be possible. I knew by the pulling I feel in my chest every time your around. I fell in love with you the moment I met you."
" Wait, Wait, wait this is a bit much to process. I know what you mean by the pulling sensation in your chest. I didn't realize it ment we were mates. I have felt it since we first pulled into the community, but I couldn't figure it out. Can we please take this slow? We barely know each other. I want to know you better. Also there is something you should probably know! The main reason I want to go slow is because I have never been with anyone before. Besides William needs me."
" Yes we will take it slow. I would never push you into anything you didn't want to do. I would be honored to be your first. As far as William is concerned I think he can take care of himself. Besides when your ready you both will move into the pack house. As my Luna you will be on the third floor with me. Actually William will be on the third floor as well and he will use the elevator to get around. I am also going to give him the place you are in now as a workshop and I won't be upset at all if he decided to live there instead. But before any of this happens I want you to be comfortable with all of this."
"Okay I need a few minutes to think please."
With that I pull off my t-shirt and jump in the water. I swim back and forth across the lake thinking about what Steve has told me. I don't see how it would be possible to be the Luna but he is so sure. I think William would be happy living on his own. I think the separation would be good for both of us. I am very attracted to Steve, so I'm not worried about that. I have faith that he will wait till I'm ready. But it's just the whole Luna thing that has me worried. Is this Moon Goddess really sure about this, maybe it's a mistake.
Just then I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around and a women with long brown hair and a long blue dress standing there. Her mouth doesn't open and I know not to open mine but I hear everything she has to say as clear as a bell.
"Please my child do not worry. You will be an excellent Luna. I have faith in you and so do your parents. They are all watching over you and know you will be great at it. Your destiny is coming and you will need Steven's guidance along the way. Watch over this pack and they will watch over you. Just know that your worst
enemy's might become your best friends. Now before Steven gets to hysterical go to him. And never lie to him. He needs to be ready for the war to come. Your past is going to catch up with you, you have to be ready."
Then she disappears and Steve is pulling me out of the water. He pulls me up onto the beach and makes sure I'm okay then he starts yelling.
"What the Hell happened? Did you get trapped or something? Are you that afraid of me that you would prefer to drown? What the Hell?"
"Once he takes a breath I take his face in my hands then I kiss him. Once I make sure I have his attention I tell him about meeting the moon goddess. After I tell him everything he is quiet for a few minutes then all he asks is," So does this mean you will be my Luna?"
"Are you serious out of everything I just told you, the only question you have is will I be your Luna. You know it kinda sounds like a proposal when said like that."
"Everything else you told me we will deal with later. All I want is you, be my girlfriend, my Luna, my wife, just be mine."
"Well I guess when you put it that way how can I say no. But I still need to take it slow. Can we not say anything right away please. I need to talk to William as well."
"As long as you will be mine we will do it however you want to. I am happy with what we are doing now, besides this prediction the moon goddess gave you needs to be looked into. Now what do you say we seal this agreement with a kiss?"
" I think that is a great idea."
After we kiss we head back to the house and I make lunch.
