Chereads / The Moonlight Warrior / Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Saying goodbye to my parents wasn't as hard as I thought that it would be. As we embark on this new adventure together, I am looking forward to sharing it with my mate. This is a fresh start for me, and I am ready to take advantage of it. As Luna of the pack, I'm looking forward to meeting my new pack and being part of its community. Despite being a little nervous, I'm looking forward to meeting the pack. Hopefully they will like me, and I won't run into any complications.

A plus is that I will get to know more about my mate, and he will also get to know me better. I know that there will be pressure to complete the mating process as soon as possible, but I want to get to know him before we are fully mated. I have at least a month before I will have my first heat. That should be plenty of time for us to get to know each other by then. That is if he is going to be open to the idea of me getting to know everything about him. He doesn't seem like the closed off type. I am just praying to the Goddess that everything will go perfectly between us or at least almost perfect.

It's time for me to meet the pack, so we're on our way. Can you tell I'm nervous? The answer is yes, but I don't see anything going wrong. I just hope they like me. Our adventure is about to start. "Are you ready?" Sebastian asked. I looked at him with fear in my eyes. Before I got to say anything, he said, "Hey, no reason to fear they will love you."

"I'm not afraid, I'm just nervous, but I can't wait though." I hesitated. My problems disappeared as soon as we made eye contact and he smiled. It was the cutest smile, and let me say, I can't wait to see where this goes.

"We made it here, let's go inside." Sebastian said. "Give me a minute and I'll be in there in a second." I spoke. I sat there for a second and looked at the moon and stars and just said, "I hope everything goes well." I walked in and looked around. "Everyone, this is Naomi, my mate. We met at the Alpha meeting while I was at the Midnight pack. I was not expecting to meet her there, but I hope that you all will come to love her as much as I do. I know that I love her although I just met her. Now everyone please give your Luna a warm welcome." Sebastian said.

I was shocked to hear him say he loved me! I couldn't help but smile when I heard that. There's something about this feeling that makes me feel like I have butterflies. When he looked at me, he asked, "Are you okay?" A shake of my head was all I could muster as I looked at him. The entire situation still left me in shock. "Are you sure about that?" Sebastian asked curiously. The only thing that surprised me was that it was just a simple surprise. A smile spread across his face as he looked at me, as if he was pleased that I noticed what he said. I think he meant for me to hear it.

I watched in shock as all of the pack members showed me their gratitude by showing me their necks. I wasn't expecting to be greeted with such respect. That just goes to show that my mate is a wonderful Alpha and that they trust him dearly. I didn't think that they would be so open to a stranger that they had never met before. I have a feeling I'm going to feel right at home here in the Black moon Pack.

I am excited that they love me and that I have the chance to be their Luna. I even got to experience life with my mate, and I couldn't be happier. I am happy that the beginning started amazingly. I just hope that it stays that way for a while. I can't ask for a better mate. "Let me give you a tour," Sebastian said. I looked at him and nodded my head. We started to walk around and one of the warriors came up to me and said, "You're really pretty, you're lucky to have my Alpha in your life. He's great; he always has us together and has our backs just like we have his. We trust him just like we will trust you and know you have our backs. I can't wait to see where this adventure takes us."

I was happy that the warrior came to me and knew that I would be loyal to them. I will put all my strength to protect my new pack and my mate. I want to know if he really means he loves me, I can't get it off my mind, it's all just happening so fast. "Hey, can we talk for a minute?" I asked. We walked away from the pack. "Yes," he said. I looked at him and I thought to myself, does he really love me? "Did you mean it?" I looked over at him for a second. "Mean what?" He spoke. I looked down for a minute and mumbled, "Do you love me?"

He pulled my head up and looked at me and said, "I meant every word of it. Why did this come up all of sudden?" I just looked at him and then back to the ground just trying to figure out everything going on. "I don't know. I just thought you just said it. I just never had anyone say that to me but my parents and don't get me wrong. I was surprised you said it. I was really happy. I can't wait to see where this goes. Honestly, I am ready to see where our adventure takes us." I looked at him with a smile on my face.

We made eye contact and smiled at each other. I have never felt this way and it's the best feeling I have ever had. "You have done a great job with your pack. They are very fawning of you. It looks like they look up to you a lot." I spoke. I looked at him with a smile. "I try my best, but the key to it all is knowing that they have me to protect them, and soon they will look at you the same way." He said with that cute ass smile.

I really do hope that they do look up to me as the Luna of the pack. I decided that I had something to say to the pack. "Hey everyone, I know you don't know me that well, but I hope that changes one day. I will be here if you need me for anything. I was head warrior over my pack, and I intend to fight for this pack as if it is my own. Although now that I am your Luna this is my pack now." I said to the pack.

Sebastian stepped forward to speak after me. He said, "I want you guys to know that I trust her and that she will be loyal to the pack. She is a strong young lady. You will love her more than I do. One day she's going to be the best Luna. You will see that soon."

After Sebastian said what he needed to the pack I decided that I really needed some air and decided to walk outside for some fresh air. I felt like I couldn't breathe for a minute. Sebastian ran outside after me with a concerned face. "Are you okay?" He said looking worried.

I was zoned out looking at the sky thinking about everything. He grabbed me and looked at me. "I'm okay, I have bad anxiety, my nerves are messing with me. I am not really good about speaking in front of everyone but knew that it needed to be said. It just freaked me out for a minute that I could even speak in front of them." I spoke.

Sebastian looked at me in shock. He said to me, "I didn't know that you had anxiety when speaking in front of a big crowd. You didn't have to speak to them if you weren't ready to yet.'' I looked at him and couldn't help but feel so much love for this man at that instant.

"Sebastian, I needed to say that, and I wanted to. The pack needs a strong Luna and that is what I am striving for. I will continue to move out of my comfort zone for the pack." I said to him, to let him know that I was alright.
