Love's POV
It has been a week since I have been staying here. Since the first day, Lucian has made it clear that until I turn 18, we will not be doing anything related to mating, or adult stuff to be precise.
The first two days, I didn't leave my room even when Lucian persisted with me.
All I met was an old lady who came to clean the room. She was nice but strange. She had a nice talent for gardening as the vases she took care of, never had any plant dying.
Every day she came with a new thing to take care of the numerous fresh flower vases Lucian presented to me.
Lucian.
He still feels like a dream come true. This did ring a bell in the back of my mind as anything as good as him is always a lie.
I shrugged the negative thoughts off. Somehow, after the second day of being here, I have started having negative thoughts, even nightmares.
I never told Lucian because it didn't seem like something that big. He is like a coin with two completely different sides.
One that he shows to me and the other that he shows to the whole world.
I still haven't talked to Judy but today I will. Lucian promised to take me out to meet her today. Her pack was just a few hours away and Lucian trusted nobody other than himself to take me there.
Something is off in me, I can feel it but can't point my finger at it.
I left my room and was met with bowing heads. Even when I'm not officially the Luna yet, everybody knows that I'm the Luna and greets me that way.
It was hard making friends though. Almost everybody was scared of me and respected me.
Making my way to the kitchen, I smiled wide when I met my only friend, Gwen.
"Hey gwenasaurus" I mocked her making sure nobody was nearby.
"Luna" she bowed, only she bowed to me without fear and full of respect and friendliness.
"What are you doing today?" I questioned with a wide grin. She was my partner in crime even though she was one of the shyest people I've ever met.
"I have to make the whole lunch by myself today" she sadly replied.
Whole lunch by herself. Oh god, that lazy partner of hers again bullied her to do it.
"Nope, not today" I smiled evilly.
Before she could protest, I exited the room and ordered the dishwashing maid in the next room to bring Nora, Gwen's partner.
"I think she'll kill me Luna" whispered Gwen as I motioned for her to stay quiet. Gwen was young and had just joined while Nora has been cooking for the alpha family for decades.
Yesterday, I heard Nora bullying Gwen along with the other maids and I was furious.
Only then, do I have a half-naked Lucian sleeping on me? I couldn't fall asleep so I was using my alerted werewolf senses to hear what was going on around us.
Within a few minutes, Nora appeared in front of me bowing.
"Yes Luna," she said while bowing.
"Who is making lunch today?" I questioned her, coming to stand in front of her now.
"Luna me and Gwen" she lied.
What a bitch. I was angry with her but being the Luna, I have to maintain my dignity, something I learned from Lucian.
"Well I am taking Gwen with me so I think it's just you today," I told her with authority.
Serves her right for bullying a young immature girl. However, she was old so I can't put all of the work on her "you can ask Veronica if she wants to help" I offered.
She willingly took the help and nodded.
"Yes, Luna" was all she said as I motioned Gwen to follow me.
Once we were completely in my room, we started laughing.
"You should have seen her face when I said he has to do it all by herself," I said between my laughs.
"That was so good" she agreed and chuckled.
"That was fun," I said while stretching my arms.
"Thank you for doing that for me Luna" she showed her gratitude.
"Come on" I rolled my eyes "you don't have to always follow the formalities you know."
"You are my Luna off course I have to" she replied.
I nodded. I wanted her to behave like just my friend but people here were loyal to their Alpha and Luna on a whole different level. I can't stop that because that would mean going against what Lucian has made.
"I need you today to come with me," I told her.
"Sure Luna" she nodded. She didn't even ask me where we were going so taking advantage of that, I thought of an idea.
"I want you to wear this," I told her as I ran to my closet. Ooh, this was going to be so much fun.
Finding exactly what I had in mind, I grinned.
She'll look gorgeous in it.
Without wasting a minute, I folded it and handed it over to her.
"Now go and get ready because" I waited to create a dramatic pause "we're going shopping!" I exclaimed.
She wanted to resist it but of course, she couldn't, I'm her Luna, and saying no to her Luna is something nobody her can do.
I shooed her out of the room and showered without wetting my hair. It's a struggle to dry curly voluminous hair.
As for myself, I chose a corset top and some tight jeans.
I have an hourglass body with wide shoulders and hips. My breasts were just there for the sake of it, they were hardly average size. However, my lower body was strong and that made me look curvy even when I was mostly skinny.
Applying some lotion to my hair, I did light makeup.
There's one thing still left before I can leave, that is telling Lucian.
"Come in" I heard a reply as soon as I knocked on his office door.
Smiling sheepishly, I slowly let my body inside.
His eyes darkened as they lingered over me. He was trying to control it. He thinks it's wrong to do something with me until I turn 18.
But it's hardly 12 days away so I don't even think it makes a difference.
"Hey" I went over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Hey, you" he smiled and pulled me on his lap.
"I want to go out with Gwen today to get something to wear" I half talked and requested.
He never lets me go out without him.
"Just give me a minute I'll go get ready" he replied.
"Hum Lucian" he looked me straight in the eyes as I sheepishly smiled, "I think we should go alone, you know, me and Gwen"
It looked like his face went from happily cuddling to now protesting.
"I think not"
" I think yes. Besides" I smiled suggestively as I ran my finger over his chest still maintaining eye contact "I am getting something which I want to be a surprise" I got closer to his ears "for when you mark me, and when we mate" I whispered.
A low growl came from his chest as his eyes were charcoal black. Without wasting a second, he kissed me hard.
Even his kisses made me weak, something was still off about it.
"Dylan is going with you," he said with no scope of negotiations breaking the kiss.
I pouted and was greeted with even more kisses.
After a kissing session of 39 minutes, I finally left the room. And now, with Gwen who was too shy in the dress I gave her, and the bulky-looking man I was assigned to take with me, I left the alpha's house.
A girl who's too shy to even look up and a bulky guy who doesn't even smile, what a shopping it will be
