The Luna's Journey

Chapter 19

After Annie had her fill of chicken nuggets we drove back to her parent's house to tell her mom, little brother David, and Oma that Troy and she were expecting. Also to introduce them to Henry, I'm not sure who was more nervous, Annie and Troy or me.

As we pulled into the driveway I noticed that Uncle Alf's vehicle was back, I hadn't known that he was due back today which was either a good thing or a bad thing. We all climbed out of the truck and headed towards the house.

"Mom? Dad?" Annie hollered as we walked into the house.

"In here." Her mom said from Uncle Alf's office and we turned to head towards there.

"How did you know where to go? No one answered her." Henry asked as he followed, I looked at him confused for a second and then realized that he hadn't been able to hear Aunt Luna because he had human hearing.

"Someone did but you weren't able to hear it." I told him softly. "Don't worry, you'll be able to hear what I do soon."

"Soon? Oh really?" He smirked and wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"Gross." Troy said looking back at us over his shoulder, Henry laughed and I blushed.

Annie knocked once on her dad's office door and then walked in, the rest of us filing in behind her.

"I didn't know you were going to be back already dad." Annie walked around his desk hugging first her mom and then dad.

"Yes well there have been some developments and I wanted to get back here to set some plans in motion, Troy I actually would like to speak to your father if you could get him the message or tell him how to get ahold of me." Uncle Alf nodded at Troy.

"Of course. If you don't mind me asking, why is a meeting with my father needed?" Troy asked and I was glad he did because I was getting ready to ask the same thing.

Uncle Alf sighed and rubbed his head, inhaling a deep breath, his eyes popping open as he did so. He stared at Henry and furrowed his brow. "Care to explain why there is a human in my office?"

"Uh, actually that's one of the two reasons that we came here." I said hesitantly, I grabbed Henry's hand and pulled him towards the desk. "This is Henry Waters, my mate."

Aunt Lou gasped in surprised delight and Uncle Alf rolled his eyes. "A human? Couldn't find a nice werewolf boy?" He asked.

"William." Aunt Lou scolded him as she came around the desk to hug Henry. "Welcome to the family."

"Thank you ma'am." Henry said as he returned her hug.

"Ma'am, I love it." Aunt Lou giggled, she was used to getting called Luna not ma'am.

I looked at Uncle Alf who had a disgruntled look on his face as he looked between Henry and I. "Well, at least he isn't a fish, no offense." He said towards Troy who just rolled his eyes. "Where did you meet?"

"In Maine. My family has worked for the Alexanders for years, sort of their spies in the fishing world. I've been on the east coast working undercover for a Mer hunting crew whose cover is a lobster catching excursion. Troy, Annie, and Renee were on one of the excursions and that is how we met." Henry explained simply.

"So you know of the supernatural. I assume he has been brought up to speed on what is expected of him?" Uncle Alf directed the question to me.

"I am Renee's mate firstly, and then the future Alpha of this pack. I do not know much about werewolves but I know I will be able to learn everything from Renee and yourself." Henry answered the question that had been directed towards me and I couldn't have been prouder of him, he had spoken up in front of Uncle Alf showing that he wasn't shy or afraid.
