It happened when they were out exploring the supposedly haunted forest a few weeks after their trip to the Stanley Hotel. Colby remembers pain, flesh being ripped from his bones. Now, there still is pain, but it is now a sort of comfort to him like...
Before this story starts, I want to clarify how old Luna is. In my universe, the werewolf gene slows down age by about 15-20 years. They aren't immortal-- just age slower. So, Luna is in her late 30's, in this fic, though she looks like she is in her late 20s. Lucian is in his 50's, though he looks like he is in his 30s. Just a quick clarification!
Also, face claim for Luna is Indya Moore, who is so amazing and beautiful they were perfect to cast for Luna.

Luna wasn't sure what to expect when she arrived at Alpha Colby Brock's apartment, but it certainly wasn't what she saw when she came through the door. Perhaps she had a slight bias considering the age of the pack members and thought it would be a bit like a frat house party. She was after all about 10 years older than them and drew upon her own experiences as a matured teen... not that she went out to frat house parties... definitely not.
The atmosphere of the apartment was calm and welcoming and filled with the scent of werewolves, humans, and pizza grease. It had been a very long time since Luna socialized like this and she was a little rusty, so she was a bit uncomfortable. Yet, these were people she knew, whom she had trained. She had no reason to be nervous.
As soon as Luna entered the apartment, Alpha Colby scooped her up into a hug. When he let go, his mate, Omega Sam, did the same. Luna could see the evident mating marks on Sam's neck and smirked a bit, remembering how obvious and oblivious the pair were when they first showed up at her door step months ago. It thrilled her, like a fangirl, to know the Alpha and the Omega were together.
After Colby and Sam said 'hi' to her, Luna was left on her own. As she scoped over the crowd, she noticed everyone was talking amongst themselves or nursing vodka's and White Claws'. So, Luna made her way to the corner couch where no one was at, grabbing a red Solo cup filled with some sort of mixed drunk to nurse in her own isolation.
Her thoughts wandered aimlessly to her past, to her father, and to the man she had loved. Well, she was still in love with him, but only with the thought of him. The person Lucian Ethelwulf was when he first arrived in the pack many many years ago. Unlike his true self that came out with the murder of her father, Lucian appeared to be thoughtful and kind and intelligent and funny. An Alpha worthy of her that she could rely upon when she became the leader of the pack when her father died. A mate who could care for her, love her, and be her new treasure. It didn't help her that he had a bad boy persona. She had fallen for his spell so easily.
"Hey, is this spot taken?"
Luna snapped her head up, her magical "force field" coming up with habit, though she knew Lucian could never hurt her again with the protection of Alpha Colby and his pack. Her eyes found a pair of dark ones, a cocked eyebrow framing them. A tall male, presuming to be one of Alpha Colby's friends that she had not met, stood before her with a soft smile. He wore all black and had a style similar to Alpha Colby, but was more on the rock aesthetic than the edgy emo. Black ripped jeans, black jean jacket, some 90s grunge band t-shirt underneath, and chains hanging from everywhere they could-- the soft smile on his face was such the exact opposite.
