Not fit for Luna

Ch 19

After a conversation with Geir, things started to change. Every day, she would help him or Solveig with food or cleaning, and they would tell her stories from the pack life in exchange. This was tragic how life was divided here on before and after: Silena could feel the pain all of them living with, she could see terrible burning marks on Geir arm and neck but she was afraid to ask the questions.
Solveig told her about upcomming memory day – it was a new tradition where all pack would gather for a fire anniversary, people would give speeches, tell stories about they lost one and have a honoured dinner Silena asked Olav if she could join the event and he agreed that she should come as well, he even asked Solveig to take her for shopping because it was the only day when it was not appropriate to wear something which belonged to the dead. It was not the expensive shops Bjørn would take her but simple mass marked but she used to dressed there not so long ago and ot was ok. She easily found a simple elegant black dress not opened but sitting well on her. Silena was helping all day to prepare tables and venue with Sven and a few others, Olav, Solveig, and Geir were away all day. The event was scheduled to start at 6 pm. Guests started to gather about an hour earlier. Everyone seemed to know each other. Silena was feeling as a party crasher but luckily her new classmates hehelpeout and introduced her. She noticed that none of them mentioned which pack she is from, and that bothered her. She was considering to grab some glass with alcohol  but Sven was babysitting her too good, and that mission was impossible. Silena started to regret she came, started to miss home desperately, and replayed Bjørn’s birthday in her head. She was not sure what she felt for Bjørn longer - he betrayed her, or maybe he just chose Nora over her? Her parents, did they betray her, or did they really think that going to Finland is a good opportunity? No they could not possibly think so, the only person who supported her was her brother Evin and now she was on her own in this strange pack full of traumatised wolves and Alpha who was treating his mate as a naughty kid.
While she was thinking that Olav and a gang came to the venue, and then the only thing she could do was to stare on her mate. He was looking stunning. Suit sited on him perfectly, and he looked like he walked straight from magazine cover. Bjørn in his most expensive taxido, did not stand a chance next to this man. She was shocked by her own thoughts. She was not 18 yet so mate deal should not affect her yet but being fully honest with herself she would be glad to leave with him tonight, maybe she should have try to seduce him but it was not this sort of party.
- Are you leaking  Silena? – who else but Solveig could make this comment. Silena was feeling as her checks started to blush. One thing was to think about it in her own head, but she did not want it to be obvious to others.
- Don’t be shy, it is your mate, you are allowed to eye fuck him as you pleased.
- You guys did not give me a sip of beer all those weeks but now encouraging me to have sex?
- Age of conscience in Norway is 16, it is completely legal.
- I don’t want to be having this conversation not here not now and not with you and possibly not ever.
- As you wish, enjoy your evening. Let me know if you need help with giving Olav a hint about your desires.
She finally went to mind her own business and Silena concentrated on what was going on on the scene. There was several speeches: one particularly good was from Olav which surprised Silena because he did not look like the guy who does speeches and it was amazing to see how everyone supported him, looked like they really rooted for him. She could not imagine that Red Moon members would be so devoted to their Alpha. After all the victims names have been read read load people started to eat and drink. Silena grabbed some snacks and noticed that Sven was finally busy with something and she git a chance to grab a glass being both the only person who nobody knows and the only person who is sober on the party was too much. She was moving fast to direction of the wine table but was stopped by someone grabbing her on the elbow. That was Olav, she was about to swear but he winked her and held out a wine glass to her.
- What is a catch? Is it alcohol free?
- No, no catch. Tonight you got exemption granted by the Alpha.
- Thanks. Good speech. I was surprised, you do not seems like a type who can do public speeches .
- You have no idea how many I had to give in last couple of years in Court, funeral, meetings and so, getting trained fast.
- Yes make sense, but good speech anyway and people  really support you.
- We are a family here, you can be a family as well if you chose to stay.
- Can I decide it?
- You can’t leave your birth pack until you turn 18 unless Alpha banish you.
- Yep it is not what I meant.
- You look good in this dress. Even better than in my tshirt.
- Thanks. You look good in the suit as well.
He moved closer to her, gently removed strand of hair from her face and tucked in behind the ear. Then his finger touched her full lips and unexpectedly for herself she reacted on it with almost unnoticeable movement something between kissing and sucking his finger.
He pulled her closer band down and kiss her slowly but tenderly. From the corner of her eye she saw Solveig looking at them but right at that moment she could not care about it, she was completly devoted by his kiss.
Suddenly she came back to reality it was getting very loud , people were shooting something, something about the oath. Olav looked at her anxiously and told her to close her ears without any explanation. He walked back to the scene and all pack started to say in unison and Olav repeating after them in mic:
- Never forgive, never forget, everyone will be avenged, Red Moon pack will pay by their death, and they will die in suffer, all till the last.
Silena choked on her wine, there was so much hatered, so much aggression in their words, there was no doubt they believe what they said. She got a panick atack she emagined faces of her family, of Bjørn and Nora, of her neighbours and class mates being tortured and killed by the people in the room. She could not breath, she found a door and run shifting to the wolf on the way tearing her new dress. She did not want to be a family with maniacs , she wanted to protect  her real one.
