His Human Luna

Five

Our food is long since devoured sitting idle on my nightstand.

Kaiden and I are laying horizontally across my bed on our backs. Shoulder to shoulder, just talking. We've been this way for the past hour and a half and I have to say that's head is spinning with the information that Kaiden laid out.

He was patient and more than willing to repeat things over for me to fully understand.

At present it's silent. I'm still trying to process all of what Kaiden told me. Night has fallen and the moon, street lights, and lights from passing cars are the only thing illuminating my room...aside from my night light.

"So let me recap," I let out a sigh, "we are called mates?"

Kaiden releases a soft chuckle. "Yes. And that basically makes us bound to each other. We can feel when the other is distressed, or happy, or any other emotion. It's like.. How do I put this... You are my other half and I am yours. We only get one mate in this lifetime, so we cherish them."

I turn my head to look at him, "You didn't tell me this the first time."

"Well I didn't want to scare you. Imagine me coming at you with 'we are soul mates, and I can feel everything you feel. You will never have the ability to love anyone else except me.' Not exactly the easiest pill to swallow." He turns to look at me me and even in the dim light his eyes are bright. I can see them clear as day.

A second passes. "So...I smell like cinnamon and apples?" I giggle.

He laughs, "Yes, and it's intoxicating. It took everything in me not to jump over that table today."

I blush.

He nudges his shoulder with mine and I look at him again. "So, I smell like the woods then?"

I roll my eyes. "Well, like pine and eucalyptus. It's so relaxing. And the oddest combination ever. I could bath in it."

He lets out a growl.

"So... Can anyone else smell these things?" I ask to lighten the mood.

"No. Only we can. I can put an entire bottle of cologne and you can put an entire bottle of perfume but all I will ever be able to smell from you is your scent. That and if you've been around anyone else. We all have scents but the scents of out mates are special and only for the other person to enjoy. If that makes any sense."

I nod, then realize he can't see me nodding so I reply, "Yea, no it makes sense." Another question pops up I my brain, "Are all other females with mates called Luna's too?"

This earns a loud laugh from him. "No. No only you and every other girl mated to an Alpha."

"I see." So it must be like a huge deal to be with an Alpha...what even is an Alpha? Is it like the-

An Alpha is the leader of the pack. Kaiden's voices echoes around my head and I shiver. We poses all the authority, and we run the pack how we think it will benefit everyone. Everything Alphas do, should be in the best interest of the pack....oh, and being a mate to an alpha is a pretty big deal. But being my mate? That's just like...you're lucky.

I laugh out loud. "What have I told you about being in my head?"

"Hey, I can't help it. And once we get back I'll have Marina help you through some of the Luna stuff, and have her give us the information on humans mated to werewolfs."

"Who's Marina?" I ask, unable to help myself.

He grabs my hand in his and rests it on the top of his toned chest. "My sister. She is the keeper of Sliver Woods History, and keeper of Lycan History."
