Chapter 10

    Uuuuggghhh. Morning. Ugh. Why is it forced upon people to get up with the sun? Sorry life, but I am not waking up until well AFTER the sun rises. I got up, feeling extra grumpy.

   I took a shower, brushed my teeth doing my hygene routine. When I was done I got dressed in some blue jeans and a white shirt. I walked downstairs. Everything was quiet, no one was awake yet.

I decided to make breakfast for everyone. I looked in the fridge. I found eggs, bacon, sausage, pancake mix, and fruit. After what felt like hours, I was finally done. I was proud of myself, it looked like something from Taste of Homes.

   I was wiping down the stove when a pair of arms wrapped around me.

"This looks good," a husky voice said.

"Thank you, I made it myself, just have to wake everyone up," I said.

"Oh trust me, they're up," Bone chuckled.

   Sure enough, the sounds of feets scampering down the stairs sounded. I detached myself from Bone before anyone came into sight. Bone gave me a worried glance, but continued to help me set up the table.

   Mae, Luca, and Beth appeared, all looking famished.

"Omg this looks amazing!" Beth exclaimed.

   Everyone agreed, sitting down and digging in.

"Mina, I think it is time to meet the pack," Bone said casually.

   I chocked on my water.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"You do know that you will be the Luna right?" Bone said, giving me a 'duh' look.

"Who said I'd be!" I ecxlaimed.

"I did!"

"I don't care Bone you cannot control me!" I said.

"Guys calm down. Let's not ruin this delicious breakfast," Mae said.

I ignored her. I hate when Bone just assumes I will do things.

"Excuse me," I mummered getting up and going outside.

   I began walking. I was seventeen, I wasn't going to do all these crazy things. I can't do what he expects.

"Mina!" Bone called out.

  I kept walking. I knew I should talk to him, so I turned around.

"Bone, stop it! I can't become a Luna! I don't even know what that is! I feel like walking away from everything, because you are just crazy!"

"WHERE WOULD YOU GO! Mina, you have no one but me. You can't even LIVE without me!" Bone said.

"Its hard for me, and I feel like you can't get that! I was a mess! I was a crazy mess before I got kidnapped, I was terrified! I thought I was going to be a sex slave or something. All I heard was some guy named Bone was looking for me. Why, I had no clue! Then you kidnap me and spring this shit in me! Oh my gosh what do you want, hell I'm a mess now!"

"Then let me fix you," Bone said, his eyes softening.

"I can't."

"Why?" he asked.

"Because I need time. Way more time then you are willing to give! Did you not just hear what I said. I gave been through HELL, AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS MAKING ME INTO SOME LUNA! WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, NO. I WON'T! I've been through too much for you to ignore yet you are. So don't you dare force me into this. Don't you dare!" I said walking away.

"Mina don't walk away!" Bone said, grabbing my arm.

  Looking him in the eyes, he seemed almost desperate for me to hear him out. So I stayed there, ready to listen.

"Mina, from the day I saw you I loved you. You are my mate. My feelings aren't this strong because of the fact, I truly feel this way. You make me smile when I wake up because I know I will see you. You make me calm when I am angry. You make my heart beat so fast when you laugh, smile, or even look at me. You're so smart and kind, and beautiful. You make good decisions and stand by them, you are fair and loyal. You are giving and most importantly kind. THAT is what a Luna is. You are naturally a Luna. I am undeserving of you, I just hope in time you will care for me like I do for you," Bone said.

   By the end I was crying. Yet again I had only thought about myself and my feelings. If I could slap myself I would. Yes, Bone might be a little forgetfull about my past, but he cared. All my life I prayed for someone to unconditionally love me, and I have it. With Bone.

"Bone, I'm so sorry! I thought of myself again!" I cried, hugging him.

"No, you are right. I was forgetfull, I was unconsiderate. Please forgive me in time," Bone mummered.

"Well, well, well! That was so sweet I just got diabetes! Brother, why didn't you tell me you got a mate?"
