MINE (UNDER MAJOR RECONSTRUCTION: READ AT OWN RISK)

Mr. Alpha

I managed to wake up without a sour mood in sight. I quickly took a shower that I've been needing since yesterday. My aching muscles sooth underneath the hot water and I almost fell back asleep. Once I got dressed and ready to go, I exit my room finally after a week and a half. The house was too quiet for my liking but I didn't mind. I step into the hallway and made my way down the spiraling staircase. 

When I reach the first floor, I smelt something delicious in the air. My stomach erupts in a growl and I realize that breakfast was definitely needed. By the sweet aroma of pancakes, it lead me to the kitchen where three men sat around looking like foolish little boys. One guy with black hair had syrup all on his fingers and on the side of his mouth along with the guy with light brown hair. The dirty blonde was by the stove, making more pancakes as the other two managed to swallow a whole stack in one go. 

I clear my throat, suddenly feeling out of place and nervous with strangers. "Hi," I wave awkwardly. The three boys crane their necks to look at me when I greeted them. Immediately, smiles plaster on their faces. 

"Hi Luna!" They simultaneously say. 

My stomach growls with hunger but churns at the words Luna. Although I was warming up to Hunter, it's not like I wanted to be Luna right away. Thoughts enter my brain as I really I haven't even mingled with the pack. And with Hunter ordering everyone to leave the house during my heat, there wasn't anyone I've met except for Darren.

Darren's face immediately comes to mind and I instantly recognized him as one of the men in the room who swallowed pancakes. My nerves calm as I saw him in the room. At least I knew one person. 

I decided not to correct them on Luna and instead introduced myself, "I'm Sara," I walk into the kitchen and sat myself on the island table. My silent treatment didn't have to extend to these guys. I could just familiarize myself with the pack and ignore Hunter, Dylan, and Anna. Sounds good to me. 

"I'm Nathan," The dirty blonde pipes up. "Want some pancakes?" He asks as he holds out the pan to show me the pancake that was cooking. 

I nod my head eagerly, "Please, I'm hungry," I sheepishly admit. 

"I bet, you and Hunter must've gone to pound town for the past week," The mop of black haired man laughs out loud which resulted in an elbow to the gut from Darren. 

I laugh nervously. "Yeah, that didn't happen," I point out. Jesus, I haven't even lost my virginity yet let alone do anything with Hunter in the room. 

"Sorry, I'm Louis. But you're telling me you endured through your whole heat without doing anything?" Louis asks in disbelief. 

I purse my lips into a thin line and shrug my shoulders. "It was a pain in the ass but yeah," I admit.

Louis and Nathan's eyebrows shoot up in surprise. "Now you are definitely a strong one because when I found my mate, she couldn't last a day," Nathan enthuses. I could see the love in his eyes and it made me feel nice. I wondered if Hunter shared that same look...

I shake the thoughts of Hunter out of my head. "Well thanks," I fake a smile. That week could've killed me. I knew that the second wave would be the one to take me if I don't get marked soon. This was slowly going downwards but I made sure that I wasn't going to think about it any more than I already have.

"Anyways," Nathan pipes up as he flips the third pancake onto the plate with the other two. "Sorry this took a second, those two over there will eat a whole box before getting full," Nathan points to Darren and Louis. 

A laugh escapes my mouth and I realize I haven't laughed in a while. The feeling felt good. I liked how easy-going these guys seemed. It's like there wasn't a big secret looming over my head and the priorities of being a Luna wasn't dangling in my face at every second.
