Luna's Daughter (1st Edit Done)

Chapter 33

Aliyah Staton

"How was your day with Amaro?" My father asked when I walked in the door.

"Confusing as always," I said heading for the medicine cabinet to get some pain killers; I figured I would take some before bed and in the morning to hopefully fight the sore muscles I was sure to have again after that run.

"Well you still have a lot to learn sweetie," he replied rubbing my head.

"Yeah about that, you couldn't find any time to tell me that I was a wolf during my whole life?" I asked, it was something that was in the back of my mind.

"I didn't think that you would ever turn into a wolf to be honest. I didn't want to fill you head with all this supernatural information if it wasn't going to affect you in life. Besides if I would have told you that you were a wolf would you have believed me?" He asked. He had a point; I probably would have thought he went mad if he claimed I was a wolf. I laughed a little before I answered.

"No, I would have called you crazy," I said and he raised his eyebrows at me to prove his point.

I said goodnight and headed up to bed, I had a lot to think about; as always for that last few weeks. The relationship between Amaro and I was such a rollercoaster ride. One minute we would be at each other's throats ready to rip them out, then the next minute we are making out and couldn't keep our hands off each other; it was so confusing.

I wished that we could just have a normal relationship like people do at school. The couples at school always appear to be so happy; I can't imagine what our relationship would look like to outsiders. They would probably think we act like wild animals; I had to laugh at the thought because technically we are.

The news that the whole mate thing I was wondering about means that we are soul mates, that we are meant for each other, really surprised me. At first I didn't know how to feel about it but I soon realized that it made me really happy. I liked Amaro and I did want to be with him; we just had some things that we would need to work on. He needed to learn to not be so dominate and I had to learn to control my anger; I was willing to do whatever it took to be with him, I needed him in my life.

I wished that he would have stayed the night with me, but I can understand why he left. I know that I was having a hard time holding myself back from him, so I'm sure that he was feeling the same way towards me. I wondered if it had to do with the whole being mate's thing, or if this was how everyone felt when they met someone that they liked; I had nothing to compare it to.

I couldn't wait to be able to see him again tomorrow; I just hoped that we could keep on good terms with each other and not fight anymore. I plugged in my phone and lay down in bed. I closed my eyes and dreams of Amaro took over my mind.

The sound of my alarm clock going off woke me up the next morning; I stretched in bed to shut it off, moaning when my sore muscles protested against the movement. I grabbed the two pain killers I had waiting on the bed side table and popped them in my mouth washing them down with a drink from my bottled water; I couldn't wait for them to kick in.

I got out of bed and headed for the shower before getting ready and going downstairs. I had a cup of coffee and some cereal for breakfast and chatted with my dad about school. I was excited to go back, but a little nervous at the same time; it had been a week since I had been there. I was getting ready to walk out the door when I heard a car pull up; I walked out the door to see it was Amaro.

I skipped over to the truck to see what he wanted; he motioned for me to get in when I started going to the driver's side window. Aww, he had come to pick me up for school; that was nice of him. I crawled into the truck and shut the door only to be immediately pulled by my waist to Amaro's side.

"I missed you," he said before crushing a kiss to my lips.

"I missed you too," I somehow managed to get out between kisses. Wow, it felt so good to kiss him; I never wanted to stop. Amaro let out a low growl as he pulled away from me.

"We should get going or we will be late," he said flexing his hands on the steering wheel as he started to pull out of the driveway.

I relaxed my head into his shoulder as we began the long drive to school. I felt so comfortable just sitting there next to him; his body heat flowing into me, warming me from head to toe. He moved one hand from the steering wheel to rest it on my knee; squeezing lightly. The feeling had me wanting to start making out with him again; if I was sure that we wouldn't have crashed I probably would have. We got to school and were walking to front doors with Amaro's hand resting on my back when a thought came to mind.

"Umm can I ask you something?" I asked stopping about ten feet from the door; far enough to be out of hearing distance of random teenagers standing around by the doors.

"Anything," he replied smiling down at me.

"Well I just want to know what to say if people ask about us," I said looking at the ground a little embarrassed. I considered us to be in a relationship, but I didn't know if he felt the same way.

"What are your feelings about us?" He asked running the back of his hand across my cheek; shivers instantly replacing the line where is skin touched mine.

"I would say that we are together, but if you don't feel that way I understand," I said still not looking up from the ground.

"You're my mate Ali, you are mine, I would be happy to be able tell people that," he said grabbing my chin forcing me to look up at him.

I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face, and was happy to see he started smiling too. I stepped up on my tippy toes to close the distance between us and gave him a quick kiss. Amaro led me into school and to my first class before leaving to go to his own class.

Georgia was her usual self in Biology, it was almost as if I was never even gone. I was surprised when I walked into the lunch room to find that Amaro, Harlin, and Koda had joined us at our usual lunch table; I wondered how long they had been sitting there, or if it just started today because I was back. Conversation started up at the table immediately when we arrived and it was clear that they had all become good friends in my absence; it was nice to see everyone getting along.

Amaro brought me home but said he had to go back home to run patrols so I was left alone with my thoughts at the house for a few hours. It gave me time to reflect on how different it has been for me since I moved here. I was happy to finally find a place that I knew I could call home for the rest of my life. I was part of the pack now so even if my father decided he wanted to leave I know I would always have a home here with the pack.

This was the first time that I could actually make friends without the fear of ever having to lose them from moving away. It was my first time to actually be able to have a real relationship with someone, not just anyone; my mate. At first I had thought that this whole werewolf thing was a curse, but now I realize that if anything it was a blessing; it was fate, and I was happy for the first time in a long time.
