Crescent Falls

XII

I wanted to throw my arms around Drew and kiss him forever but two pending factors made me pull back;

1) I've only known this guy for less than twelve hours, I mean I knew him as a kid but that didn't count.

2) If I hadn't pulled back when I did I wouldn't have stopped, he was an amazing kisser.

I pushed his chest with my arms. Drew looked at me with a dazed smile on his bruised lips. I did the only thing I could think to do in that situation, I reached back and punch him square in the nose.

"Why the hell did you just punch me?" He demanded not looking dazed anymore, the red from his nose was already spreading to his left eye.

"Why the hell did you just kiss me?"

"Because Luna you're my mate, you're a wolf and I know you really don't trust anything I say right now but just hear me out. We did just seal the deal." he said wagging his eyebrows in my direction.

"Us werewolves have been around for centuries, I'm sure you've heard tales. But the truth is in the beginning of the Roman Empire the very first empress of Rome, Livia Drusilla was born half wolf when her mother, Aufidia was cursed by a witch in the 1st century a.d. Aufidia could not bear children unless injecting herself with wolves blood, silver, and wolves bane. She had to do it upon a full moon, which is why we turn on full moons. Thus upon bearing a child she also created lycanthropy or werewolves."

"And you expect me to believe this?" I asked astonished. Drew gave a a 'duh' look.

"Drew you just told me two supernatural beings existed and you think I believed a single word that just fell from your mouth?"

"Yeah I do, Luna I'm telling you the truth."

"What the hell is a 'Luna'?" I questioned. He shot me a small smile that played on the corner of his lips.

"Livia was the first ever Luna and her mate Tiberius Nero or Nero was the first ever Alpha. Their son also called Tiberius was betrothed to Vipsania Agrippina. He became the new Alpha and she became the new Luna through many ceremonies and rituals. And so on and so forth and now it is you and me, we are the Alpha and Luna of the Tiber Pack."

I started laughing, uncontrollably I must add. He gave me a shocked look again.

"Okay so I'm queen of a werewolf pack and you are king?"

"Yes if that's how you understand it." He said stretching out on my tiny twin bed he seemed like a giant in. I walked over to my window seat and sat on the purple cushion. I pulled my knees to my chest.

"I still don't believe you." I said as I stared at him.

"Phoebe how did your parents die?" He asked looking up at my ceiling his hands behind his head.

"A car accident when I was five, why?" I asked.

"Because that's not how it went they died in battle fighting for our pack, Luna your father was Beta of the pack and my father was Alpha they were best friends, same with our mothers. We only moved because they couldn't take the pain of seeing you and not them everyday. They took you away from me and that is their only regret."

I laughed at his story. And he looked over at me, which only made me laugh harder.

"Drew they died in a car accident, I've saw the car I went to the scene and I mourned the deaths of my total normal and human parents. If this is your sick and twisted way of how to get to me it's not working you bastard." I said not laughing anymore because I was now officially pissed the fuck off. if he thinks he can just sneak into my bedroom and tell me how parents died he's got another thing coming.

"Goodbye Drew," I said grabbing my purse and putting on the brown heels I took off earlier. I went to my vanity and put on another layer of mascara and lipstick.

"Luna we had a deal." he said dead seriously.

"Well 'Alpha' that was before you lied and pissed me off, so goodbye." I grabbed my keys from the nightstand beside my bed and I sauntered to the window and threw it open. Drew disappeared out the window without a fight. Huh, that's right bitch don't mess with me.

I jogged down the stairs and found aunt Judy in the living room, a bowl of popcorn in one hand, a beer in the other. She was watching 'Grace and Frankie' on Netflix.

"Bye Judy I'm heading to Sam's party I love you." I said leaning down and kissing her head and stealing some popcorn which caused her to swat at my hand.

"Love you too!" She called before I exited the house. I shut the door behind me and walked to my car.

My baby black paint made the full moon reflect upon it. I loved my car so much. I pulled the handle and slid down the side of my car when my head split open from the pain inside it. Then I realized it wasn't just on the inside my head was bleeding and it was bleeding a lot.

"Phoebe, Phoebe are you okay I smell blood." Drew said from in front of me. Huh, when did Drew get here? He pulled me to his chest and rocked me back and forth.

"Do you believe me now, it's just going to get worse until we mate." He said hurt in his voice, hurt that made me hurt too.

I slowly nod my head, "Yeah Drew, I'm starting to believe you."
