The shock on their faces as we came face to face was what made me feel most betrayed, it was like they never expected to ever see me again.
"Luna," they said bowing curtly to me, and for the first time in days, hearing that word infuriated me
Not even giving my brain a time to think I busted "Is this supposed to be some suck illusion 'cause if it is, I'd be more than relieved" I said and they gasped
"Lay..." June started trying to move closer to me
"Don't you even dare, seriously, so y'all have been living under the cover of being human all this time whereas you're the wile animal sighted in the forest? I was worried about you June, I saw Rebecca during the night I was taken and I thought she's a bad person and would hurt y'all, how the fuck was I supposed to know you guys we're werewolves uh" I said anger bubbling inside of me
"Now don't be a hypocrite Layla" Rebecca started slightly rolling her eyes.
She has always been the type to speak up first ever since I knew her so I wasn't even surprised
"Hypocrite," I said disdainfully as my hands itched to slap her
"Do you expect us to come to you and say, hi I'm a werewolf and you're on the pack's land the first time you came? You said yourself that you would soon be leaving Cashville to remember" she said and I saw sense in what she said but still, to my cloudy brain, that wasn't enough to justify them
"But still.." I started and June wanted to cut me off but I resisted "Why do you guys have to lie about some stupid wild animal in the north forest and some goddamned firefly that creates illusions, if you people hadn't, I wouldn't be in this situation right now"
"Oh you would, that lie has always been in the town since the very beginning, it's what we use to make sure the humans present in Cashville don't go out during the ritual"
"And you saying you wouldn't have been in this position right now is downright hypocritical since you know even without the tales you would've broken the rule," June said with a hint of respect pin her voice unlike Rebecca
"But..." I started, feeling desperate to put the blame on one of them as I felt so betrayed before Claire cut me off with her hands on my shoulder
Not until then did I realize the attention I've drawn to us, the people watching us with their hawk eyes and whispering amongst themselves.
I couldn't help the outbursts that flew out of my mouth next
"Holy fuck people! What don't you understand by mind your own motherfucking business, must you be this frustrating! One more side glance from y'all and I promise I'll claw put your fucking eye!" I busted wanting to continue before Scarlett's hands covered my mouth shutting me
But I didn't stop there I fought hard against her and with faces of horror, the bystanders returned back to their previous activities
Seeing that I calmed down, Scarlett removed her hands while mine hitched to hit something, her face to be precise
"I'm sorry Luna, the kids," she said bowing and I couldn't help but feel like hitting her hard for giving me such a flimsy excuse.
Subduing my anger I faced June and Rebecca who were kneeling and bowing their heads in respect, and allow me to say the sight feels so good and confusing at the same time
"We are so sorry for being rude Luna, we were just trying to make you see our point, we couldn't help it, we can't go around telling people our true identity as it may be jeopardizing to our pack, we hope you can forgive us," June said very apologetically and I remembered the days when I was in Cashville, how she had been my friend and how we had bonded over a short period of time, how things had turned out now compared to how they were previously
"How many more werewolves are in Cashville?" I asked
"Cashville is an extension of Bane Pack and it has over 95% werewolf population," Rebecca said and my jaw dropped
"Is this you telling me almost everyone I met in Cashville are werewolves" I questioned
"Yes my Luna" June replied with smile lines on her face
"Oh my God" I saw covering my mouth from shock
"Layla, you know you're being so absurd right now right?" Claire said and I faced her, she was looking slightly frustrated and I don't know why
"Care to explain?" I asked rolling my eyes
"Oh I will, but not here," she said "Elisa, Margaret, you both are dismissed as of now but make sure you come to see me in my office this evening," she said and I looked around trying to find the people she's talking to and I didn't, not until I saw June and Rebecca standing up from their knees and saying 'Yes Alpha' before I know they were the one's she just called those names
"Are you kidding me!" I exclaimed further
"Layla, let's get back to the pack house shall we," Claire said and I couldn't help but feel like a child who's about to get reprimanded for her bad behavior.
"Don't gimme that face" I said
"Just let's go," she said in a low voice as if it's a warning and Scarlett shoved me forward
Getting outside the training grounds, I saw that a Jeep was waiting for us and as we all climbed inside, I couldn't help but feel bad and betrayed.

Short and rocky
So this is the most actual start of Layla's life as a Human Luna.
From here on, she'll learn about her do's and don'ts and learn to behave like a proper Luna.
From here on, her intelligence would be tested, so is her patience as she is very bad at anger management
She'll learn to face good and bad, hatred and love, and also learn to draw people to her side because has she has enemies on the outside, so she has on the insides, after all, not everyone wants a Human Luna.
*Exhales*
It's not easy being a moon goddess honestly, but I hope I've been trying my best
Thanks for reading and showing me love
To all ye single ones, your mate shall find you one day, or maybe you shall find your mate
Other ways
Ciao
*bows and flies away*
