JULY

After a long nap Jayce felt somewhat alive again. Not very, but something was better than nothing. Right? Jayce guessed it might have something to do with Mika. That girl... She wasn't with him, and though only a few walls separated them, he wanted her closer. He wanted more of her. To see her. To hold her....

Then again, he also didn't want her close. He pulled himself out of bed, and down the stairs. He felt people around, more specifically elders of the community. Groaning more than slightly, he went to the door, and answered before they had a chance to knock. "To what do I owe the pleasure gentlemen?"

They gave him a slight bow of their heads, and one of the oldest spoke up. " We were wondering who the young girl was.. the one that came back with you. " he stated. The old man was a former warrior of the pack. For the most part, he liked to pick fights and start shit. He was balding, and wrinkled, with a sickly fake innocent smile. Jayce hated the likes of him. Just his stench was enough to wrinkle his nose.

Jayce growled lightly. These old geezers were nosy as hell. What did it matter who she was? They were also cocky and disrespectful. They didn't have the right to ask about her! " She happens to be my mate. Apparently we have a Luna. " he shrugged softly, keeping his temper momentarily at bay.

They seemed shocked to say the least. The same man chuckled a little. " We never would have expected it. Seems the moon goddess is looking on us finally. " he smiled as politely as he could muster. It still sounded like venom laced through his voice. A snake waiting to strike. All of them were.

" So, get to the point old man. What else did you want?" He asked, crossing his arms over his chest impatiently. Even if he felt better he is growing impatient for some unknown reason. Though, Jayce couldn't quite figure out why.

"Keen as always Alpha. " he replied a mischievous smirk planted on his face. Jayce frowned hard. With a tone like that they were up to something. Something devious. A distraction maybe? " We would like you to grace us by coming to the gauntlet. The boys have been in low spirits. You'd make a difference. It will give the Luna time to... Settle..."

" Yeah sure.. Anything to get out of here. " he muttered leaving the house and Mika behind. They were surely up to something. Maybe they wanted him to go be her space. See if she was going to run away just all of the other girls at mating age. To see if she would be killed. Just like them. He felt a pang of guilt as he left the house.

Jayce growled suddenly. It was ferocious, and even the fighters in the ring cowered. He glanced at them, " Keep the gauntlet going... I've got something to deal with. " He snapped before taking off. Clearly meaning to be left alone.

The elders who had come to get him smirked viciously. They didn't care for a Luna. They'd lived long enough without one. So why did they suddenly need one? Obviously they didn't.

He shifted soon after leaving sight, and took off after his mate. She had some nerve. She'd left his territory. She was his! She wasn't allowed to leave! She wasn't going to either. He snarled a little at the thought of having his Luna leave him. He simply wouldn't allow that. It left a bitter taste in his mouth that he hated.

So did she. Or rather a bitter feeling in his chest.

His people needed her.. even if she was just morale support. Even if he didn't care for her. She gave him a weird feeling, she was far too nice for her own good, and he'd probably already kill someone over her if he had to.

They had stopped to eat half way to his pack. She forced him to. Honestly, he needed food too, and was grateful for the break. She went to the bathroom, and he didn't protest. She wasn't looking like she was going to run. Plus the bathroom was in his sight line.
