Luna's Mating Games

Chapter 11

(A/N: The games will be starting soon! Are you all ready for some action?!)

Luna had her delicate hands clasped behind her back.

"I'm happy you thought about me," Luna smiled up at Jagger. He was on full alert, making sure that they wouldn't run into anyone.

"How could I not? Ever since I saw you go down the waterslide, I've thought about you."

"You're so cheesy, you know that?" Luna smiled as he handed her a sunflower. The blonde took it and lightly smelled it.

"I almost didn't come to these." She said absentmindedly, staring over at a pond that had two swans floating around. Jagger remained quiet, allowing her to continue.

"I didn't want to be held down, I don't want to be treated as less than. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't make my own executive decisions. My father, Alpha Adam Carter, took me to most business meetings. He wanted to make sure I knew pack politics so I could make my own mind on matters. I'm not going to be some submissive Luna, that will let the alpha walk all over me. That will never happen to me."

"I know a lot of packs are based on the patriarchal image. It's stupid.. I've met plenty of women who are able to handle a pack."

"Look at Ren Parker, the alpha of the strawberry moon pack. She does a damn good job." Luna smiled, thinking of her friend.

Jagger rubbed her back and turned them back towards the castle. Luna looked around, she was incredulous about the fact that she was strolling behind the castle walls with her mate. Luna was adamant about not getting a mate and going back home to her family. The blonde had decided it wouldn't be so bad, especially if Jen threw those ragers every weekend.

Strips of sunlight slithered through the curtains in Luna's room. The girl still slumbered, even breaths going through her parted lips.

"Miss, it's time for breakfast." Maggie's voice made Luna throw the covers over her head. Maggie giggled lightly and Margaret threw open the curtains, while Maggie drug the comforter off Luna. She was curled in the fetal position, her lip curled, showing fangs.

"C'mon Miss! The breakfast smells mighty good and you might want to eat for your day of going out!" Luna's eyebrows furrowed together, she never knew what they were doing or planned.

"Plus there's a surprise for dinner tonight!" Maggie grunted because Margaret elbowed her and shot her a look. Maggie turned around to clean around the room. Luna sat up and opened her eyes. Her green orbs grew to the size of saucers.

"Uh... Maggie... why does your hair look exactly like mine?" Luna whispered. Maggie didn't turn around, she continued on as though she hadn't heard Luna.

"Oh! Well I just like how pretty yours is, so I took some inspiration!" Maggie nodded as she turned away again. Luna was flattered, but it would take some getting used to.

The girls helped her into her robe and opened the door for her. Thomas stepped behind Luna, staying silent. Jen came out with a coffee and a yawn.

"Mornin' Babe. I'm ready for us all to go out! We can bring Jagger and Emma with us!" Jen looped her arm around Luna's, saying different things she wanted to do.

"Well we have to be back and ready by 8PM. We have a surprise tonight, supposedly..." Jen's brown eyes widened.

"What is it?!"

"I don't know. They told me what I just told you." Luna was hoping it was something good.

Luna was elated to be able to run into her room as soon as she was done with breakfast. She was tired of dodging the prince's questions and the glares from the other girls. Some of the girls started to get closer with the prince. Rumor has it he has slept with three of the other girls. Luna believed it, based on the way the girls carried themselves, the looks they gave her, and the way they looked at him. Angel was one of them. Luna was bored of her making it obvious. She didn't care.

Luna made a habit of leaving the dining hall as quickly as possible. Especially today, she was ready to go out on the town. The blonde hopped into the shower and finally felt herself relax. At least if the prince gets you, you can have some privacy in the shower. No! She would not let thoughts of him intercept her shower time. She could share a lot of things, but that was one thing she would never share. Shower sex isn't even great, and Luna can't stand sharing her showers. 

The blonde sang along with the music that was blaring from the bluetooth speaker. She figured she had some extra time to get ready and decided to shave her legs. Luna was happy, but terrified. She figured she would do like Katniss. Get up in a tree. Luna needed to work on some upper body strength and train with Alec again, to get ready.

The blonde would let Jagger claim her, but she couldn't risk letting the prince. Regardless of wanting Jagger, she wasn't going to tell him her plan. He could go crazy and lead some people to her. She just had a feeling to not tell him much of her plan, other than the fact she's trying to escape Connor. She shook her head, and just focused on finishing her shower and singing along. Luna did her skincare routine and walked into the room, grabbing some black skinny jeans and a band tee.

Luna wanted to look casual, she was ready to just blend in. As she bent over to grab a pack of cigarettes, Jen walked in, whistling.

"Damn, girl! You look good back here!" Jen made a ass-slapping motion. Luna rolled her green eyes.

"Thanks. I'm all ready! So some casinos and maybe a museum or?"

"Well, we will have to see. I know Emma and Ren want to break off and do their own date thing."

"They are the cutest couple!" Jen squealed when they heard growls and snarls coming from the hallway. Luna noticed a piece of paper was slid under her door.

Hello Residents,

We just want to make this well known. Even if you have claimed a mate since being at the castle, you, along with your mate, will still have to enter the games. It is only to ensure everyone gets their true mates.

Luna gasped, and Jen looked like she was about to cry. Alec, Ren, and Emma had to enter the arena, too.
