Two Moons

Chapter Twenty Four

May

Chloe laughs, and Josh glares at her.

"S-sorry babe! That was, was," Chloe doubles over laughing, holding her stomach. She holds out a hand. "Hilarious!"

"Hey. What's so funny?" Lucas walks out from outside and comes next to me.

"Well," I start, dusting my hands off and putting them on my hips, "Josh here grabbed wrist to drag me outside so I flipped him." Lucas opens his mouth in surprise and his eyes widen.

"He's my best fighter and the Beta," he whispers, shocked.

"What a coincidence that I'm a Beta and I can take on my Alpha. Weird," I shrug, smirking.

"So you're saying you don't need training?"

"Yup. Good, we came to an understanding," I pat his head, although he's super tall. I walk into the kitchen.

"Oh no, you don't need training unless you've passed all the tests." I smirk.

"Bring it on."

Lucas

Damn. May is strong. She's also well balanced, amazing with a gun, has perfect form in throwing a knife, can kick ass while fighting, and can use nunchuks like nobody's business.

"Am I free to go? I think I've passed all your tests," May throws her hands up.

"No," I tell her.

"Oh my God, what else do you want me to do? Escape silver chains?" She sarcastically remarks. I hesitate. Silver chains. If Derek were to hurt her, he would definitely use silver and wolfsbane to hurt her. "Oh my God, you're considering this?" I look at her guiltily.

"Practice makes perfect?"

"No! I am done. I'm not going to train when I don't need training. I have to go anyways," May starts to walk to the house. She's leaving? I run up to her, growling.

"You are not leaving!" I grab her wrist.

"Get your hands off of me." She grabs my other wrist and flips me over. I land on the ground with a thud, and I groan in pain. I watch her walk off in her leggings, sports bra and tennis shoes, and she flips me off. Great.

I stand up and brush one dirt off of me, trying to find May.

"Jared? Jared!" May's voice squeals with happiness. Who let Jared into my pack grounds? I walk to the gates and see that no one let Jared in, but May is out of pack grounds. She's unsafe. May is hugging Jared, smiling. Jared has his arms wrapped tightly around her waist.

I want to chop his arms off. I rip May off of him and pull her into pack grounds.

"Hey! Lucas, let me go!" She shrieks, hitting my chest. Jared attempts to get inside, but the guards stop him. She finally pulls away from me and I growl.

"Let Jared in," May looks up at the tall guards.

"No," I growl.

"Please?" May sets her hand on the guards shoulder. I growl lowly. She is mine!

"No one is getting in, and no one is getting out!" I demand in my Alpha voice. May's jaw drops open.

"I cannot believe you used your Alpha voice on me! I demand you let my mate in!" She shouts. Everyone stares at her in shock, even Jared. The guards move aside, allowing Jared to get in.

"And for you," May points at me, "I'm leaving for work after I take a shower, so if you want to stand in the way of that, I'll be happy to flip you instead of Josh." With that, May grabs Jared's hand and pulls him inside.

May

I'm mad.

More like pissed, but oh well.

I had to take a quick shower and Jared did his homework in my room.

"Hey, Jared," I hear Lucas's voice outside my bathroom door.

"Lucas," Jared replies, discomfort in his tone.

"Can you, uh, tell May I'm sorry? I really don't want her going to work alone, but she already hates me enough. Do you mind telling her she has to have a guard with her? Her safety is everything to me, and I'm pretty sure you would agree." Do I hate him? No, most definitely not. I just really dislike him at the current moment. But it's sweet he still cares about my safety even though I just showed him I can take on Josh and maybe him. I haven't forgiven him, yet.

"Sure," Jared replies. I hear Lucas's footsteps leaving the room. I take a deep breath and shut off the faucet, and dry myself off. I pull on a really cute floral skirt and a white tank top. I slide on a long cardigan, my black high tops and a ring over my freshly painted nails Chloe and Emma insisted we do last night. I twist the front part on my hair into a French twist and let it hang down with my hair. It dries pretty fast and curls naturally.

To finish it off, I put on some brown eyeliner, sparkly white and brown eye shadow and mascara. Examining myself in the mirror, I step out.

"Hot damn, May," Jared whistles lowly, teasing. I blush.

"We should probably go, I don't want to be late for my shift," I suggest.

"Alright. Oh, and Lucas came and stopped by. He told me that he wanted me to tell you he was sorry and you should have a guard with you, for safety reasons," Jared tells me, even though I already know.

"Oh. Thanks for telling me. Who's my guard?" I ask.

"I don't know, we'll probably find out when we go downstairs," Jared suggests, starting to leave. I grab a purse that has my wallet and my phone and sling it over my shoulder. I follow Jared down.

"Hey, uh Luna? Yeah, umm, we'll be your guards today," the two boys looked like they were going to shit their pants.

"What are your names?" I ask politely.

"I'm James, and this is Dylan," the blond one says.

"Should we get going?" Dylan asks.

"Sure," I kiss Jared on the cheek. "Thanks for dropping my homework off."

"Yeah. I'll see you soon?"

"Of course," Jared goes out of the house.

"Okay boys, we'll have fun," I say, grabbing the keys to Lucas's Volvo off the counter.

"Luna..." James trails off.

"Don't worry, I don't bite." I go out of the pack house and unlock the Volvo. They still stand in the doorway. "Well come on!"

~*~*~*~*

A lot of people would say that they hate work or whatever, but I love work. I get to be around books all the time and I get to meet fellow book lovers.

James and Dylan are acting like customers, looking around and reading, but staying extremely close to me. My shift is short today, and it ends in thirty minutes. Normally, no one comes in at the last thirty minutes.

The bell rings and three men walk in, with hoods on due to the rain. Two of them goes to the section where Dylan and James are, and the other one comes straight up to the cash register.

"Where are your classic books?" He asks, his voice low and gruff. I point to the opposite side of the store.

"All over there, sir," I smile. The man seems human, I think. I take a short sniff of the air and stop.

"If you scream, your little body guards will be taken out along with you. I have a gun loaded with silver bullets laced with wolfsbane. I suggest you keep this meeting a little secret, dear sister."

Well crap. On a brighter note...
May and Lucas?
Keep on reading and voting, Lovelies. I love you all:)
