Her Luna

Chapter One

The rain was pouring down hard as I got off the bus making me curse myself for not taking the car. Then again, the rain was apart of Seattle. Taking a deep breath I slowed my walking speed letting the train soak into my clothes as I took in the other houses. 

Elizabeth, or Lizzy, has become my best friend since moving here two months ago. We met at Strays, a local gay bar and a hit it off almost from the start when she she tried hitting on some girl next to me. Lizzy is about 5'3 and about 160 pounds with long straight dark brown hair that falls to the middle of her back . Not only that she dresses in goth so seeing her hit on this girl was like watch the high school outcast hit on the "it" girl. You know it's not going to end well but you're rooting for them nevertheless. 

As I would come to find out, Lizzy usually does get who she wants. What her secret is, I have no idea. She failed miserably however that time then proceeded to try hitting on me without batting an eye. I let her down a bit easier as I found her funny as hell which was just what I needed to get my mind off Nancy. 

She's also saved my ass a few times including letting me move in last week and asking her mom to give me a job which I am just coming back from. I'll now be cleaning the offices of Goldman, Saks, & Lemaire starting tomorrow night. Not a moment too soon I might add since I'm flat broke. It's near impossible to get work when you don't want them calling your last employer.  I could just imagine what Nancy would say. I kinda felt bad for telling Anna that Nancy was abusive and controlling but it did stop her from asking many questions.

Lizzy's mom was a strange one but since she agreed to let a homeless person move in with her daughter and is now giving me a much needed job I'm choosing not to put much in it. Still, I couldn't help but think something was off about her. For starters the interview was even easier than at the Wolfs Den with Nancy and she's my mate. She asked about my past work but nothing in detail. Basically I mentioned working at a bar and gas station and that's it. Nothing about why I left or past work history. 

Some of it might be because Lizzy could've told her I was transgender. If she did, I don't care. If she's okay with Lizzy's life, mine should seem downright boring werewolfs aside which of course I haven't said anything about. It's just I'm not serving alcohol to people, I'll be cleaning a law firm which means I'll be around sensitive information. I can't help but wonder why she's trusting me.

Of course, maybe she has and I just don't know it. She's gotta be a good lawyer if she made partner and that means she probably knows a few things.

Maybe you should call Nancy and ask her. My brain jumped in finding this a perfectly good excuse to call her without seeming desperate. 

No! I'm done with her and her controlling alpha bullshit! I got the job, that's what matters, not what Nancy had to say, if anything. They're good people, even if they have strange habits and Anna said she often works well into the night so she'll probably be watching you like a hawk so be grateful,  don't eat to many of the muffins, and stop overthinking this. They're not werewolves! Your problem is you've been around them for too long and you think everyone is like them.

It hasn't been easy. I still think about Nancy constantly and my head strains to connect with her despite the hundreds of miles between us. Because of it, I constantly have a migraine and struggle not to run back to her with my tail between my legs.  I've managed to stay strong and resist the urge this long, I won't give in. This can't last forever, right? 

I also miss Dobby. Maybe now I could get him since I have a place. It would be hard to sneak back for him without anyone knowing. For the first month or so I was living out of my car so I couldn't get him if I wanted too.Now…. I'll have to talk with Lizzy and see what her mother says.
