Omega to Luna

23

Atticus' POV

"You smell good though." She says as her eyes flutter closed. She falls right onto my chest as I wrap my arms around her securely. I lift her out of the water and walk towards the ladder. Climbing out I look to Cain who has an ashamed look on his face. "Brother, get me a towel, please. " I say. He turns around and runs into the house as I turn around and look at my pack. "Blood Moon pack! I know this was an unplanned event but since everyone is here I would like you to officially meet your Luna! You all know that I can be difficult to deal with at times and this is one of this time between me and my mate. With that being said whatever she has told you is probably true. But I promise upon the moon goddess to fix this and give you your true Luna, Zaraphine Knight." My voice booms across the back yard.

As soon as I finish speaking I turn around back towards the house as Cain comes running towards me with a handful of towels. "I'm sorry Atticus. I was just trying to help." He says dropping his head. "You did brother. Don't ever think you didn't. But with that being said I need your help again." I say causing him to lift his head. "Anything brother." He tells me. "Did you hear what she said in the pool? About not being able to smell me until now?" I ask him seriously. "Yeah. Do you think she was being serious or do you think it was the alcohol speaking?" He raises an eyebrow. "No, I believe she was telling the truth because right after everything happened yesterday, I went back to my room and Kira was in there. I believe she has been working with a witch masking scents. I was telling the truth yesterday. I truly believed it to be her. She looked and smelled of Zara. Even my wolf wasn't fighting me, Cain."

He closes his eyes for a moment as if thinking about it then says "Why do you think she's working with a witch? Because after you left her she was in your room?" "No, because Zara started being able to smell me when I kicked Kira out of the pack. " I explain. He snaps his eyes open and his jaw drops. "You kicked her out? Why?" He asks. "She took advantage of me. She knew I wanted Zara. I told her that, after the incident with her and Zara, and then yesterday I continuously called for Zara, moaned Zara's name and she continued. She knew I believed it to be my mate and she didn't stop."

I took Zara to my room and called for Cain through the link. 'Brother I need assistance.' 'Are you in your room?' He questions. 'Yes.' A few minutes later he walks in. "What do you need?" He questions. "Umm I need to put her in something dry, but I don't think she would appreciate me doing that. " I say. "So you want me to?" He questions with a brow raised. "No! Well, I need you to help me without either of us looking." I whisper.

We managed to get her bra and underwear off and into one of my large shirts without looking. Well, Cain didn't but I accidentally seen a small amount of nipple. "Thank you, Cain. I hope you know how much I truly appreciate your help." I tell him. "Of course brother. Now don't scare her when she wakes up. I won't help you with that. You need to get her to trust you. So far she only trusts me and Leo and neither one of us are her mate. It's your turn to be there for her." He says before excusing himself.

"Zara I'm so sorry for how I've acted recently. I know I haven't been the best mate but I promise you won't ever be alone. No matter how much you hate me and don't want me around I will be there." I whisper to her sleeping form. I raise my hand to her cheek just wanting to feel the tingles when she reaches out and grabs it pulling it to her chest. I lay my head next to hers and allow myself to fall asleep with her hand in mine.
