Chapter 11 - The Trial

I woke up to the sound of a door slamming as I suddenly sat upright and looked left to right as if I was being controlled. I found Aiden pacing around the room, running his fingers through his brunette hair attractively as my wolf purred.

I could already sense the frustration vibe that was emanating from him as I frowned and slowly slipped out of bed, yawning quietly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing, I'm glad you're okay," he answered with soft eyes before taking one large step forward, engulfing me in his strong arms as I melted into them.

"I'm not stupid, I know something's wrong," I said, rolling my eyes playfully before running my hands slowly up and down against his bare abs whilst he took in a deep breath as if controlling himself.

He sighed, crushing me even tighter against him as I gasped. "There was a rogue attack."

My mouth gaped open as I pulled myself away, instantly checking if he was harmed and once I was done examining, I exhaled in relief, "I could've helped."

"No, I wanted you to stay here anyway and we've already dealt with the situation," he responded, giving me a soft smile.

I nodded, feeling pathetic because I was going to be their future Luna and I needed to protect my people. My eyes lit up as I suddenly ran to the en suite where Aiden was now following behind.

"Do I have to do a trial?" I asked, excitedly before he gave me a bemused, frown. "You know, to join the pack."

I had always wanted to do a trial even though I was already part of my old pack. My father said it wasn't necessary and I could've gotten hurt easily. I mean, he probably knew I could fight yet still wouldn't let me participate.

"No you're already part of the pack and when I announce you as Luna, you will be connected to all the members," he answered after wiping his face with a white towel.

"But I really want too," I whined, suddenly grabbing his arm and turned him around to look at him with my best puppy, dog eyes. The ones I used to do to my father whenever I wanted something.

He looked straight into my eyes for a few moments before sighing in defeat as I suddenly yelped in excitement and jumped onto him, my legs wrapping themselves around his torso as he started laughing with amusement flashing in his eyes. I felt his large hand grip my ass before giving me a smirk as my eyes widened at the tingling sensation.

"Don't you dare-" and before I could even finish off my sentence, he gave it a good squeeze before I chuckled and unwrapped my legs from him, quickly charging for the comfortable, double bed with the same excitement exploding inside of me. "When do I start?"

"Now," he answered, grinning madly.

I looked at him with confusion as his eyes seemed distant for a few moments. I cocked my head to the side before he sent me another grin, knowing that he had just mind-linked the whole entire pack about the trial.

"Get change and I'll meet you outside where I'll be rounding up the Pack Members," he said, pecking me on the lips before leaving.

I shrugged and walked into the walk-in closet, changing into a black sports bra and pink, neon shorts, pairing the whole outfit with Nike, black free runs. I threw my brunette hair into a neat, high-pony tail before the nervousness kicked in.

I gulped and took in deep breaths before exiting the mansion with wobbly legs.

My eyes completely widened at the large amount of people who had gathered in a circle with small children jumping up and down with excitement. They were behind a white line that had been marked into a large circle where Aiden was standing in the centre, explain what was going to happen.
