Maria pov:
After we had finished eating breakfast, Nathan had taken me down the path of a large clearing. Well..more like dragged me into said clearing, but that's besides the point. The sun was shining and the air was clear, I wonder what he had in mind.. maybe a date? I could use one of those, but I dont think he's the.. romantic type..
As we were approaching, I could hear the sound of loud whispers and the shuffling of feet, lots of feet.
Ok then.. definitely not a date..
I looked around anxiously and I could chills running down my back. I wasn't scared or anything! But I could feel a disturbance in the force..
He's up to something and I don't like it..
When we had finally arrived in center, I noticed all the others who had gathered here as well. They were all just standing there.. staring at me.. that's..not weird at all.
What is he up to...
"Soo... your not gonna like- publicly execute me...right?" I chuckled lightly. Although- I was dead serious.
"If it's about the pancakes, I regret nothing!"
I couldn't help but take a defensive stand which made him look at me as if I was crazy. I mean- I am but.. he doesn't need to know that.
If I knew I was gonna die, I would have asked for a second round of pancakes! Stingy bastard!
The closer to the crowd we got, the quieter the people became.
I was really going to be executed.. Damn.
Nathan Pov:
Executed? Why would she think...
I face palmed. I was just so stunned when she had asked me- that I forgot to reply!
'Jason!' I mind linked my third in command.
'Sir?'
'Do I look like the type of man who would execute his mate?' I asked, mildly annoyed.
'...no sir..' His reply was slow and hesitant.
What do these people take me for?
Sigh~
This is going to be a looooong day.
Maria Pov:
"I deserve the right for a fair trial!" I said as he continued to drag me to my death.
You handsome, heavenly creature who was sculptured to perfection by the gods! I curse you to stub your toe on every table, couch, and chair you come across! Feel my wrath!!!
After we had entered the center of the mob, it was deathly silent. But- on the plus side, there was no executioner, witch cross, or gallow in sight! We're off to a good start If I do say myself.
Except for the eyes. There were so many eyes. And they were all on me! Not gonna lie- I kinda felt like a star.
"So uh... Are gonna execute me or-... What..." I asked carefully.
"NO ONES GONNA BE EXECUTED" He said In a huff.
Yeah.. sure. Keep telling yourself that.
He pulled me to his side and wrapped his arm tightly around my waist, as if he thought I'd run. I mean- I probably would have- if he wasn't you know- inhumanly fast.
"Attention!" He said in a booming voice, and all the eyes that were previously on me, quickly shifted to him.
Glory hog.
"As many of you have probably already guessed, I have found my mate." Hushed whispers and curious eyes darted and circled around us.
Here he goes again with the 'mate' thing.
"She is now your Luna and you shall refer to her as such! If I here of any disrespect towards her, you all know what the punishments will be." He said, and there was a clear warning no one could miss.
"That will be all. Pack dismissed." He turned away and led me back the way we came, not saying a word to me or even looking my direction.
That's it? No shaboom? Just some words and a threat??? Wow... That's boring...
But um- what the hell Is a Luna? And when did I sign up to be it... We're gonna have words mister wolf.
We're. Gonna. Have. Words.
Nathan POV:
I could feel her eyes burning holes into my side the whole walk back to the pack house, if I hadn't know any better, I'd have thought someone was pointing a Lazer beem straight at me!
"Sooo-... Are you gonna explain to me the whole 'shes the Luna' and 'you know the punishment' shabing or what?"
I didn't answer her. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to say-
'Oh hey- not to freak you out or anything, but your the luna of the largest and most deadly pack in north America! But that's not all, your also gonna have to feel all the pain and suffering your pack members go through- but times 10!'
Yeah- that'll go over soooo well. Note the sarcasm.
Well that's not the way I would have said it.
Maxine's voice commented from the back of my mind.
Then how would you go about it, oh so wise one~
I was not in the mood for this.
No need to be so grouchy! I was just tryna help.
Oh yeah? What were you gonna say? We should bake her a cake and give her a card?
After a long pause her said,
Uh... No?
I mentally face palmed, how did I get stuck with an idiot like him..
"NATHAN!" I winced and looked over at the now fuming Maria.
"Finally! Do you know how many times I had to say your name to get your attention! What were you doing? Talking to yourself? Sheesh!" She gave me a look.
I mean... Shes not wrong but... It sounds crazy when she says it..
"Im sorry- what were you saying?" I asked, but she just shrugged.
"Maybe if you were paying attention you would know." God, she sounded angry.
Was she always angry- or just when she's with me..
Siiiigh~
"Maria look...there's so much I have to tell you.."
What do I do what do I do...
Should I just tell her outright or...
"Actually, gimme 20 minutes and I'll explain everything"
And this is when... I started baking the cake.
