The Lonely Luna

Our New Home

* pic above is how I imagine Delta Charlie and his mate Shelly Summers!!!

It's been almost two hours. My palms are sweaty, stomach in knots. Will his pack accept me, or will I be tossed aside once again? Yes, I gave Shelly a second chance but the only two people who have stuck with me are here I couldn't be happier that they are with me through all this. Charlie and Shelly upfront, mama Drake and Karlee in the second seat, Damon and I in back. I stare at the trees Ali begging to be free. I can't not until I can trust them at least Alpha. 

I got lost in the forest line and started singing to myself it always calms my nerves. I began singing How will I know by Whitney Houston man she can sing. Then of course Karlee joined in. It was like we were back in my living room not a care in the world just singing together. Then I see Damon smiling at me, thank goddess songs over I forgot we had company. "Your voice is beautiful Aryah." He said in his husky tone. I slid my hair behind my ear with a smile I said, "Thank you." "Aryah we are here." I hear him whisper.

I look out the window and wow this is beautiful. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen. This place is amazing. The packhouse is at least three stories high. Flowers and trees all around. Not only the packhouse but throughout the land there are many family houses around it is nice they have their space. I turned around and saw Damon staring at me. "Do you like it?" he asked very curiously. "It is beautiful and peaceful, yes I like it, Damon."

He smiled at me with a wave of his hand to follow him inside. People gathered around staring and gawking at us. I am not a fan of being the center of attention, but I held my head high to not show fear. I don't want to let anyone think they can push me. I would rather be hardheaded and lonely than anyone treating me like garbage ever again. I don't know why I still want everyone to like me in a way. "Hey Ry, this place is going to be amazing, isn't it?" Karlee is excited. "I believe it is." The men are carrying our bags in its late so we girls and mama go to the kitchen to get food. Mama and I began cooking something easy spaghetti with Italian meatballs roasted green beans and homemade garlic bread.

 Of course, as we are cooking and preparing plates Karlee is trying to steal bites and we are all singing Mama Mia. I of course get lost in the song,
"Mama Mia here I go again my my how can I resist you." I then felt his presence immediately began blushing. So, I clear my throat "so have a seat please it is almost finished." They did Shelly passed out drinks while Karlee and I passed out dinner. "Wow this smells amazing Mrs. Jacobs, Luna thank you." Says Drake of course he is like Karlee with food. "Please Drake call me Aryah or Ry." He nodded in response since his mouth was full.

I sat down next to Damon who is also eating like he hasn't in a million years I try to contain my giggles. He smiles seeing I am laughing at him causing me to blush again. 'Look at those dimples Ry he's so sexy his wolf sounds amazing too.' My wolf sounds like she is on cloud nine right now. 'You sound like you got a crush.' I tease her she just giggles I guess she has been talking to his wolf.

I help Mama clean up and follow Damon I am ready to crash. My lord top floor I'm about to just sleep on stairs. I know as mates we are to sleep in the same room. We're adults I am just not ready to mate quite yet. He opens the door and ushers me in and for a man's room, I am shocked. So pristine light blue walls, black curtains. The bed was king-size with a black bedspread. I can get used to it. "The bathroom is to the right there." I nodded in response not making eye contact. "Listen Aryah, I will not force you to do anything you don't want to, and if you'd like I can sleep on the sofa there." He said rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Thank you I appreciate that, but we are adults we can sleep in the same bed, and I am not ready for the full mating thing yet." I try not to sound so girlie or dumb. He nodded and smiled, and I grabbed an outfit and headed to the shower.

 Man, this shower is amazing. It could fit about 6 people in here, glass doors, a rain shower head I always wanted one. I turned on the hot water let the water run down my hair and face. Felt good after washing my hair I just let the water run down my body as my mind wondered. What did being a midnight wolf mean? Why me? What is so special about me? I needed to find out, maybe Karlee could help me. Wait the black book from my birth mother Luna Ariel I wonder if it says anything I needed to find out. I exited the shower dried off my body and put on my sleep shorts that were black silk with some lace mid-thigh and my black tank, should be comfortable. yes, I know I am crazy I am used to sleeping naked but I kind of can't at this time do not judge.

When I returned to the bedroom Damon was standing there in shorts below his v-line his stomach and chest were sexy. I couldn't take my eyes off of them. When I reached his eyes, I realized that I was caught. I cleared my throat and walked to the bed. He laughed "Aryah I am yours you can stare it is ok." I did not respond. I just Laid down and covered up. I felt the bed dip knowing he was in the bed too. I was nervous we did not know anything about each other. I wondered what he is like.

 "Hey Aryah, do you want to get to know each other like 20 questions but without limit and no judging until we umm fall asleep." He said quietly "Yeah that would be nice you go first." "What is your favorite color?" he asked. "Well, I have top four favs 1.) Black, 2.) White, 3.) Red, 4.) blue. What is your favorite thing to do besides Alpha work of course?" he chuckled "well I like working on cars and walking the forest." we did this for a while "Okay number 30 what is your biggest fear?" I shuttered at the question but what is the harm in answering I felt like I could tell him anything. "Being alone, not like relationship wise just alone." he didn't respond I think he understood. "Damon, what is your wolf's name what is he like?" "Well, his name is Assassin he is a pain to me sometimes, but he is strong, very protective, he is my best friend." we continued talking for I do not know how long but I could get used to this, and then we finally passed out.
