When I got up this morning all I could think about was helping the pack. I don't know why but I wanted to get out and talk to people. I felt like I needed to talk to them.
When William got up I talked to him about it. At first he found it funny then after thinking about it he tells me," You know this could be the Luna in you coming out. And I want to remind you that you have always been very protective, just look at you and me. But with everything Stacy has done since we got here its bringing that protective side of you more and more. I say go out and meet some of the women. Maybe even talk to the kids, I know you love kids. But you might want to clear it with Steve first. He might show you around even. Besides I worry about Stacy attacking you. I have heard stories of her changing to her wolf and attacking people she don't like. And we both know she doesn't like you."
"Okay well eat you breakfast and I will head over to the pack house. I want to ask Cassie how Sarah is today."
"See that's the maternal side coming out. That's a good thing for a Luna. You know you are going to be awesome as the Luna. Now get moving I have to get to work. Today we are taking care of the tree from your vision."
So I give William a hug and run over to the pack house. When I walk through the door I see Cassie turn and start yelling at one of the Omegas. The girl grabs a pot off the stove and spills water over her hand. She screams and dropped the pot before it hits the floor it stops it just hung there. I run over and grab it with the towel. No one says anything, but then I snap into action. I start barking out orders. I don't even see Steve or the others gather around as I do things.
Cassie send someone for Mike. Do you have butter. I need it. Relax for me this is going to hurt. How fast do wolves heal? Does anyone have a clean towel? Whatever you do don't wipe off the butter until Mike gets here. The longer you leave it there the more heat you pull from the skin. If it melts to much add more."
Just then Mike comes in,"What's going on? Come over here. Luna get me ice please. Cassie we need another towel."
I bring over a full bowel of ice as Cassie brings over the towel. One of the other girls has a few more towels just in case they are needed. Mike turns on cold water and tilts the girls hand down . He slows down the water and clears off the butter. As he clears it away he hisses.,"Luna get me the ice over here. Putting butter on it was genius. The blistering is bad but she won't loose any skin. My dear you won't be able to use this hand for a few days. Even with shifting the damage is severe. Cassie I need that towel please. Now lift your hand slowly. Good, don't move this will hurt."
"Wait a second Mike."
I stepped closer to the girl and put her head on my shoulder then I wrap my arms around her. Cassie gives the towel to Mike then he puts it over the burn and presses down. The girl screams into my shoulder and Cassie flinched. I hold her as still as I can as Mike finishes. Then he puts her hand back in the ice. I held her for another minute then a women comes running in screaming so I assume she is the girls mother. I step back and let her take my place. The next time Mike takes her hand out of the bowel he wraps her hand and starts giving the girls mom instructions. I go over to Cassie to make sure she is okay. She hugged me and cried into my shoulder for a minute. Then she regained her composure and turned to look at the group that has been watching.
"Alpha as you can see we had a bit of an accident. But with with the Luna's help and Mike we have it under control."
"Yes, I saw what happened. Mike might I suggest you take her to the clinic now that the crisis is over."
"Yes Alpha right away. I want to get this cleaned and wrapped properly. Thank you for you help Luna."
Then Mike, the girl, and her mother left. Then Steve told everyone to get back to work. The excitement is over. Then he looks at me, the look on his face changes. I'm not sure if he is mad or what. Then he steps around the counter and says," You and I need to talk." and he starts to pull me toward the door. Everyone is in total shock. But Cassie gets the staff back on track and cleans up the kitchen.
As Steve and I walk to my house I realize the guys are behind us. Once we get to the door we just walk inside. The guys close the door and stand there. William comes out of his room and automatically asks," What happened now? We're you attacked? Why the full escort? What's going on?"
Steve tells William everything that happened in the past fifteen minutes. William was shocked, but before he could ask any questions Steve asked the one question I didn't want to hear.
"How did you stop the pot? Is that something you have done before? Is there anything else you want or need to tell me?"
I look at William and then back to Steve and say.
"Okay first of all things like that only happen when I get really stressed or very very scared. As far as I know it has only happened five time in my life. William has done it a few times as well. And sometimes when I have a bad cycle I move things. Well actually more like throw things."
"Okay I think we need to get you tested. Humans don't usually have these kinds of gifts. Also I think you need to try and train these gifts. I think you should train as well William. I plan on talking to the council of elders and see what they think."
"Why all the fuss? It's just a small thing I can only do it every so often. It's just when I get to stressed."
"Like I said let's test you two and make sure you really are human."
" Why don't you think we are human?"
"It's something the goddess said about all of your parents being proud of you. I think you were adopted."
"No, that can't be, I'm sure they would have told us."
"No Steve has a point they died to soon, maybe they were waiting till the right time to tell us."
"Fine William let's get tested then it will prove we are just special humans."
After that I walked out the door and headed down to the river to think. I just really don't want to think about it at all.
Ten minutes later Steve walks down and puts his arms around me. We stand there in silence for a while then he says," William said it was up to you, he will get tested if you do. I'm sorry about pushing you like that. It's just that after watching you help her like that I was proud of you. Where did you learn the butter trick?"
"Mom burnt herself bad one year at Christmas and used the butter to stop the blistering. I just remembered it when she spilled the water. Can we wait to decide on the testing? You can talk to the elders if you want but I need time. I have been hit with a lot in the last few days."
"Fine think about it. But I think it might be a good idea. Besides the goddess said you needed to get used to your power before you get your wolf. Maybe she was talking about your gifts and not being Luna. And let's be honest after what you did today I would say you already know how to be Luna. The way you took control had me wanting you so much I could hardly stand it."
Then he leaned down and kissed me. After he broke the kiss all he said was"Think about it please, I won't push you."
After our talk we went back to the pack house and I helped Cassie make lunch.
