The Runt & The Alpha

Chapter 43- The Luna.

Layla's pov

It was so nice to watch the sunset with Landon, it was a very sweet moment. And I had it engraved in my heart forever. I'd never have thought that I would ever be this happy. But, I am and I'm enjoying every second of it. Being with Landon makes me so incredibly happy.

Especially knowing he loves me.

I love that all I had to worry about was what I was going to eat for breakfast. Instead of who was going to hit me first. The guys were nothing to me now, only a big obstacle that I over came.

"Layla." he called into the mind link with his deep voice.

"Yeah?" I questioned watching the bright orange sun sink behind the river.

"I want you to be my Luna and I want to have a proper ceremony with you." he stated and my heart stopped.

I haven't even thought about being Luna in a while other than my original thoughts. How I didn't deserve it or want it. But, now that's all changed since I've been spending time with Landon. I did want it and I've come so far, I felt like I've grown a lot. And it was all thanks to Landon and myself.

"Okay." I whispered.

•••

"So, you want me to help you get ready?" Genevieve asked warily.

I didn't know exactly what I was supposed to be wearing for this sorta thing. Last night Landon and I went home and went to bed after we discussed the ceremony. Which will be held today, I was so anxious because, it was so soon. And I didn't have anything to wear.

"Yeah, your the only friend I have and I don't exactly have the best wardrobe." I muttered feeling heat rise to my cheeks.

She smiled softly, "I got you, I just can't believe this."

"Believe what?" I questioned, confusion clear in my voice.

"That you're my luna and you're exactly what a luna should be, you're strong and I know what you went through to get you here really sucked but, you did it you're here." she told me with such emotion in her tone that I couldn't help but, feel grateful.

"Thank you, you're here too." she smiled, just as Dawn came running into the room.

"Mommy, mommy!" she yelled accidentally bumping into me, "Oof, I sowy." she mumbled timidly looking down.

I smiled, "That's alright."

Genevieve picked her daughter up and stared at her with such affection, "What is it?" she asked.

"Daddy's here!" she shouted and Genevieve's smile grew bigger.

Just as a guy with black hair emerged from the door, my eyebrows drew together as I locked eyes with his green ones. There was something oddly familiar about him but, I couldn't pinpoint what.

He looked to Genevieve and kissed her lips, "Hey, I missed you." he then gave Dawn a kiss on the cheek, "You too princess." she giggled.

"I missed you." Genevieve said then locked eyes with me, "This is the luna, Layla I don't think you guys have ever even crossed paths and Layla this is Jacob my mate." she introduced and his eyes flickered to me.

"It's nice to meet you." he put his hand out for me to shake and I reluctantly took it with a smile.

"It's nice to meet you as well." I said.
