Fighting (To Be Yours)

Chapter 21

I walked around, watching how everybody was doing. There was slight sickness in the air, but that would be fixed. The portal that they all came through was healing and sustaining. Any wounds or sicknesses, so long as it wasnt immediately fatal and long term, would've been healed. Cubs were getting used to each others scents and were making friends. Were's were using their elements, showing how they'd learned on their own. I watched as fire and water swirled in the air and how chunks of the Earth were picked up only to be put back. A small smile graced my face, they were inadvertently training.

"Luna!!!" Zena yelled, skidding in front of me. Izzy's little sister looked nothing like her with wild hair and equally wilder eyes.

"Yeah little one?"

"Hey!" My eyes narrowed and I took a sniff.

"Did you steal some of your mom's chocolate?" Her lips twisted and her face lit up.

"No..." I shook my head and started walking, she sidled next to me and wlaked in the same fashion that I did.

"How are you guys settling in?"

"Bella's being a bitch about the whole thing, but Izzy's holding everything together. Your shifters aren't making it easy though. Cameron almost got into a fight with one of them because they kept pushing into me." My eyes narrowed and I stopped, I stooped down to her level and looked into her eyes.

"Who kept pushing in to you?" Resolve settled in her eyes and she lifted her chin. She wouldn't tell me, and on that I was absolutely sure about.

"My famil is settling in well, we're all a bit tired and unorganized but we're getting there." She said with a small smile before walking away, her body slightly tense. I stood up and shook my head, this morning was turning out to be utterly confusing.

"If ti isn't ring leader of the wolves." Louie the polar bear said as he and Vixie walked behind me.

"Hey, did you guys eat breakfast?"

"Do you even know my mom?" Vixie scoffed, crossing her arms.

"Good point, did you guys settle in alright last night?" They both giggled until they realized that I wasn't.

"Where were you last night?" Louie asked, his eyes inquisitive.

"I... went to sleep early." Not the truth, but not a blatant enough lie that I was caught in it.

"Tonight, don't." Was all Vixie said bfore the walked off.

"I have a feeling they're totally talking about me." I grumbled before going to check on my family.

Izzy ran into me on the way to where most of my family was, literally ran into me. Her heart was beating fast as she gripped onto my arms to steady herself.

"You OK, Izzy?"

"Too far!" She huffed before she ran past me and several other shifters who were familiarizing themselves with the tunnels. Not even a second later the shifter boy who'd been interested in her skidded in front of me, his eyes an aged cognac. With a nod he turned the direction she'd ran and ran after her, not really using his speed. That would've been cheating. Shaking my head I continued toward my family on scent until I got close enough that I could hear them. Each room was essentially a hole in the ground. Tall enough to walk around at full height and wide enough to fit two bunk beds, maybe a bit more if one out their mind to it. My family was in one of the bigger holes and were louder than all creation.

"I said back off!"

"Yeah well I don't have to listen to you!"

"I'm older!"
