Taming the Luna

Unspeakable

Alexia's POV

I was five years old when I first felt it. That little burst of emotion from deep inside. At first I thought something was wrong with me, and then my Wolf growled,

Mate.

It was then I was realized that I truly did have an another half out in the world. It felt so surreal to be able to feel these things, and I cherished every moment I had. In a way, I felt closer to this mystery woman. As a teenager, I'd constantly be plagued by her sudden mood swings, and I had to move past those. It wasn't easy, considering that half the time, she'd feel afraid. The adrenaline would pump into my veins, and I would go into panic attacks. Eventually, I learned to calm myself down by clenching my teeth and begging the Moon Goddess to protect my mate for me. My anxiety would always be defeated by the feeling of excitement and happiness in her the next few hours. That was what I lived for.

Three years ago, however, I remember feeling everlasting sorrow, and it was a terrible emotion. I literally reduced me to tears to the point I couldn't breathe; then, anger and fear overtook her. For weeks, that's all I felt. After a while, it just became a regular thing, and I had to hide my sorrow and agitation from everyone. Every once and a while, I'd feel relaxed and safe, but they would come back quickly with a vengeance. However, the very worst episode had to have been the time a mixture of horror, anger, and hatred burst through my veins. I nearly killed someone that day.

And now, in this moment, I felt an emotion with similar intensity. It was so powerful that my vision turned red, and I nearly lunged for Fernanda. My Wolf screamed in anger, and I had to force myself to not react. I gazed upwards towards my home, and to my horror, Belinda was watching us, her gaze completely blank. Then, I heard the first crack. Without warning, pillars of dirt and earth rose from the ground, and I yelled in surprise as I was lifted into the air. Fernanda screamed in fear, and out of pure instinct, I lunged for her and held her in my arms.

Jaime, get her calm now!

My Delta nodded and ran into the house; Regina meanwhile was dodging the mounds, trying to avoid getting thrown up in the air. My instincts were telling me to get Fernanda out of here and eliminate the threat, but my heart was screaming at me to get to Belinda.

"ALEXIA!" I heard Jaime yell, and I saw him trying to yank her outside. Just seeing her brought shivers up my spine. Her beautiful blue eyes were now grey, and her body was shaking uncontrollably. Without thinking, I shifted and jumped to the ground, holding Fernanda on my back. As we hit the ground, I shifted back and ran to my mate.

Belinda's POV

I wasn't sure where I was. All I knew was that I was lost, and for me, being lost was a bad thing. I've spent too many years lost in my mind; only, no body was supposed to know that.

When Dad died, I knew that I wouldn't be able to fall apart and allow it to bother me forever; I was the strong one, like Ximena. Rosie and Nubia were the weak ones, and they were able to scream and sob. The sad part was that I didn't have a problem pretending that it didn't affect me. If I wanted to survive in this world, that was what I was going to have to do.

However, playing the emotionless card wasn't going to cut here. Now that I met Alexia, I knew my emotions would fight through the wall I had carefully carved around them. That fucking werewolf took it way too far.

"Belinda?" I heard that voice, and for once, the scenery around me was clear.

I was in forest where everything in my life turned upside down. Except this time, I wasn't tied down or sobbing. I was staring directly at my dad. If you took a look between the two of us, you'd say we looked nothing alike. And hell, that was true. But I shared something special from him, directly from him. That fire that refused to die.

My dad stood strong and tall, his brown eyes gazing at me with determination and pride. He was as young and alive as the day I saw him for the last time, and for a moment, I believed that the last three years were nothing but a dream.

"Belinda, my god, you've grown so much." I looked at myself, and to my shock, I was wearing a sultry red dress with stilettos. My hair lay in curled ringlets around my shoulders, and I could feel the makeup on my face, masking my true appearance. "I wish I would have been able to see you grow up." Trembling, I whispered,

"You wouldn't have liked what you seen." My family was raised semi-religious, so typical things to hear was not to have sex before marriage and all that nonsense. I'm sure my father wouldn't approve of my "activities". I used to never care about that stuff, and now, I'm starting to regret it all.

"Each of my daughters have a special path to follow, regardless of my 'approval'. And honestly, I don't have a problem with yours." I looked at him with surprise, and he raised an eyebrow. "I'm just surprised at...your...tastes. Not judging, but again, surprised. Then again, because of that, you found a strong mate." I blushed as he mentioned Alexia. "She can take care of you, Belinda. You just need to let her in-"

"BELINDA!"

Alexia's voice pierced through the air, and I saw my father thoughtfully contemplate the sound. I was instantly reminded of the situation back in the real world, but I found myself reluctant to leave. For once, I didn't feel...anything. I was free from the emotions.

"Mija, I know what you are thinking. You can't stay here in your mind forever. You're a Luna now. You need to calm the emotions that fight around you." As he spoke, the earth began to crack around me, and then I lost sight of my father and the forest....

"BELINDA, PLEASE STOP! YOU'RE GOING TO HURT SOMEONE!" Alexia was screaming in front of me, her beautiful green eyes filling with tears. I grew vaguely aware of the ground shaking, and I realized what had happened as I looked at Fernanda. Terrified, I whispered,

"I'm scared, Alexia...I can't-" She seemed shocked that I was speaking, and before I could say anything else, she yanked my face towards mine and pressed her lips against my mouth. Everything froze, and it took a full three second before I kissed her back. All of the anger that I had originally felt dissipated as she claimed my lips as hers. Without thinking, I gripped her hips and brought them close to my body, refusing to let go. And that's where she'll stay, if I have any say in it.

Ok, I know I haven't updated in a while, and this is sooo short too! I've been swamped with finals, and in a week I'll be free from college. So I'll be able to update a lot more often.

By the way, check out Forbidden to Him!
