"Sorry I was under orders from my Luna to prank you but you got of easy she made me make the king get out of the car and hop on one foot to make sure he had no concealed weapons up his trousers, then made me tell him a spider crawled up his leg you should have seen him run"
Scott bursts into a fit of laughter as the girls jump into the back of the car
"Absolutely perfect Luke well done"
He rolls his eyes and steps back wagging us on
"Go before you get me in trouble with the alpha"
I take of as the girls cackle like schoolgirl in the back of the car laughing so hard it was contagious
"Your all fuckers you know that right?"
Scott said back at them, Isla snorted
"You were both fast, damn I thought men your size would have more stamina then that"
They all choke in fits of giggle as I go bright red
"Lucy what did you tell him"
"Hahahaha nothing haaaahahahaa that you were hahaha frustrated haaaa"
She can't even breath as we pull up at the house deacon and Jake are standing out front with there arms crossed trying to hide their smile under serious faces
"Where did you go?"
"Obviously to make trouble they only laugh that hard when they are in trouble"
Scott tells them what happened and it makes them laugh harder
"I swear I'm going to separate you 3"
Jake says shaking his head but the smile was obviously trying to push through
"Well wouldn't life be boring without us"
"Are they always like this?"
I point to them as they all take gasps of air trying to calm themselves down
"Always"
They both answer coming to the car, Jake pulls one out of one side as deacon lifts the other out.
"Enough playtime for one day if I have to listen to another story describing how hot it is to watch 2 men kiss I'm going to blow my brains out"
Jake grumbles
"Don't knock it till you try it jake, come on just try then I can have another one of you"
Isla shouts laughing as Jake growls
"Isla stop it or I swear you won't walk for a week"
"Well in that case you definitely need to try kissing a boy—"
"Isla I'm going to kill you"
He storms inside with her over his shoulder as we all fall into a fit of laughter that girl is one of a kind.
"Come to the Luna ceremony, promise"
"As Long as I can drink and smoke weed and stay in deac's arms then we will be there"
"See you then"

Lucy's POV
"They are crazy"
Scott says to me, I shrug and grin
"Crazy hilarious"
I answer, I look between them both and smile
"So are we all friends again?"
I ask sweetly, Scott smirks at me
"Yep, we always were I was just a little nervous that you would find it weird or gross us doing stuff infront of you"
I was completely taken back by what he said
"Me? You were worried about me? Dude i've been imagining that from the moment I met you, remember that first date and I was so horny I nearly cried, that's what I was thinking about"
They look at each other then at me
"Realy?"
They both say at the same time I chuckle
"Ehh yeah really really, in fact I think about it all the time."
"Well damn I read that wrong didn't I, wait here's another one for you. You know dale? He's afraid your annoyed that he is the only person he trusts, that he has no other choice but to trust him and he doesn't want to hurt you but—"
"Boys seriously? What happened to our communication? From now on I want to hear these worries straight up because I don't read you for your own privacy so I don't know these things unless you tell me and as much as it may be awkward for a while with dale I'm 100% sure we will end up as friends after I read his thoughts and make sure he actually is trustworthy"
"You can do that? Damn that could be useful"
Jaxon says looking at me through the mirror
"Of Course I can, it's how the king or Arden knows how to trust people he has gran check their thoughts but it will be even better here because no one will know I'm doing it so keep it a secret and it will be more effective, why don't we invite dale for dinner tonight? I need to stop at the shop for groceries"
"Are you sure little wolf I don't want you getting upset"
I shake my head he has so little faith in me
"No it's better if we get it over and done with plus it will make all our minds easier when we are gone if we can actually trust the man"
"Thank you"
Jaxon whispers making eye contact with me through the mirror. I smile back and nod, not adding anything else. We stop by a grocery store in our territory, my stomach flips with nerves
"Come on baby they will love you"
Jaxon says climbing out and pulling me from the back seat, I wrap my legs around his waist and bury my head in the crook of his neck.
"You ok?"
"Yes just nervous, let's do this"
I take one last sniff and hop down, he takes my hand and leads me into the shop handing Scott the basket.
"This feels really—"
"—-domestic"
Jaxon finishes his sentence, Scott smiles
"Yes that's the right word, it's weird but I kind of like it"
I chuckle as we walk through the shop, Scott's like a child pulling stuff of the shelf, anything bright and colourful he wants it, I chuckle grabbing the ingredients that I need, I'm making steak and fries so it's simple enough but I do like to fancy it up the way dad does it. He makes simple things mouth-wateringly good. We get a few looks from the people but no one says hey, they just bend their neck in submission and walk past us like we were terrifying and I honestly hate it. After seeing their reaction I get enough stuff for tomorrow's dinner to and then I spot a slow cooker and I point to it excitedly
"I need that"
I say to Jaxon, he lifts it and places it in the basket, we make it through the shop quickly and I'm shocked to know that we don't pay for anything, they ring it through the till for stock reasons but we don't pay because we own the place and it turns out we own all the shops. As we are about to leave a little girl runs towards us and hides behind a shelf giggling, I wave to her and she grins again and walks towards us.
"Are you my Luna?"
I kneel down to her level
"I am, what's your name?"
"Tilly, your not so scary"
I giggle and shake my head
"Such a pretty name, Nope I'm not scary"
I poke Scott who's watching us with a grin
"Gimi your wallet"
He pulls it out and I open it up and pull out $10 and hand it to her
"Buy something pretty"
Her eyes light up and she squeals
in excitement and jumps into my arm. i chuckle catching her as her mother comes around the corner and freezes
"eh luna? tilly what are you doing im sorry luna"
"no need to be sorry she's a delight, go buy something pretty and i'll see you soon"
"look mummy she gave me money"
"why?"
the woman's question threw me off
"honestly? i don't think kids should fear their luna, i want her and every child to feel comfortable to come to me if they ever have a problem and money always worked for me"
i say as i stand up smiling at tilly
"so get the kids comfortable but let us fear you? that worked well for amanda"
"amanda?"
"the girl you killed this morning? you didn't even know her name"
Jax growls but I put my hand on his chest to stop him
"And what would you have me do? If someone walked up to you and said hey I can be a better mother to Tilly then you can be, leave now what would you do?"
"What has that go—"
"Answer me and you will find out"
There was a crowd gathered around us now. She swallowed
"Obviously I'm her mum, I would fight for her"
"And if they were going to kill you for her? What would you do to them?"
"Kill them first"
"So tell me, you were born to be Tilly's mother and no one has the right to take that away from you, it's your birthright and unless you do something so bad no one should try, so why is it that when my birthright is challenged that I get the stink for it? I'm meant to submit to someone who quite frankly was a horrible person and let her take my children from me, take them and ruin them as where I was born to cherish them and watch you all"
I turn in the shop pointing to them all
"You would rather her kill me and ruin you, let me get this straight here and now. I won't tolerate that, you are all mine, I was born to do this and I was born to watch over you and if anyone tries to ruin that or take that from me I won't allow it just like you won't allow your children to be taken and ruined and here's the damn kicker I'll do it even if you hate me because I was made for this and I'm getting really sick of having to tell you that so everyone here now can take this speech and pass it along and spread it through the pack so I don't need to repeat myself again."
I touch Tilly's cheek and smile at her
"See you soon Tilly have a nice day"
"Thank you Luna"
She waves as I walk out of the shop and jump into the back of the car and I light a joint and close my eyes. I hear the boys approach and fill the car with the bags
"Are you—"
"—please just give me a minute"
I mutter looking at the sky and trying and failing at blinking back my tears. But I couldn't cry in front of everyone so I took some deep breaths and waited until we were at the packhouse and I jumped out and went round the back to sit on a deck chair with my thoughts.
Why do I care what they think?
Why does it hurt so bad to be so disliked, no not disliked, feared and hated. It pissed me off more than it hurt me. I needed to break something, I needed to scream and cry and punch something so I stood to my feet with the joint in my mouth and I ran to the first tree and I punched it hard and fast, hard fast jabs that hurt but it felt good to hurt because it killed the other pain and worry. I was sick and tired of fighting, fighting for my mate, fighting who I am, fighting for what was handed to me the moment I met Jax, fighting to have them both and fighting to survive and protect, fighting to survive a damn day with those who I'm meant to protect. Fuck them all I hate them, I think of every woman that sneered at me in training, I punch each of their faces one after the other, I punch the man at the gate I punch all the people in the grocerie store. By the time I'm done the skin on my knuckles were gone and blood splattered all over my face. I fall to the ground and I look at my hand and I cherish the pain because I'd take physical pain any day over this pain that has seeped inside me and filled my soul with it, Tainting it and making me something I'm not and I hate it.
"What the fuck, are you ok?"
I look up in a daze to a man i've never met before but as usual I'm probably too honest for my own good
"Nope, but I'd rather this pain then feel the hate this pack has for me. It radiates of them, I can smell it and it stinks so I'd rather feel this then that"
He kneels in front of me looking my hand over and cringing, he seems nice so when he touches me I read him. He's got a pure soul, he's kind and fiercely loyal and to my surprise he doesn't hate me, his name is the one and only dale.
"So you're the famous dale?"
He looks at me with a guilty smile
I wag my good hand at him
"What's in the past is in the past, I just want to get to know the only person Jax can trust"
He looks surprised and he nods
"I'd like to get to no the only girl who's ever had a chance at capturing his heart"
I chuckle
"Let's get this cleaned up Luna"
"Call me Lucy please"
"Lucy it is"
VOUS LISEZ
A whole new world
Loup-garouHaving groan up in an entirely different world from her cousins Lucy was the odd one out. She loved her life out of the world of pack politics and war but she craved a mate. One that would make her as happy as her parents. So Lucy did the only thing...
