The Alpha’s Little Luna

A terrifying wave settles in the canteen. After my words, it immediately fell silent.

Surprised I look around and when my eyes fall on Clarita, I notice her eyes big and mouth wide open. Frowning, I turn to Alpha Glary now, he wears a grin on his face. But it doesn’t reach his cold eyes.

“Hmmm, no problem, Beta. We’ll get there. As we get to know each other, you will get used to my presence”, he answered confidently.

Well, I don’t think so, but I’m not speaking my mind out loud.

My appetite is down to zero, so I get up. “Excuse me, I’m leaving. I still have a few things to do”, I said to Clarita. I take my tray and empty it into the garbage. With a wave to my girlfriend who is still staring at me, I walk out of the canteen.

In the hallway, I recheck my schedule and see that I have an hour free before returning to Science class. I decide to visit the library and work ahead of the lessons.

As I sit there, I feel my phone vibrates in my pocket, a notification comes in. It is Zane.

I read his message with a smile. ‘Are you okay, love?’

His question surprised me. Did he suspect something?

‘Yes, babe. Missing you already. Have you left for the pack yet?’ I asked.

Zane stayed all week after my birthday. And I don’t have to tell you what we’ve been doing all day. He made me experience what it feels like to be a woman, his woman. We just couldn’t get enough of each other. All my friends’ stories came to nothing after the sex we had. Only one aspect was actual: werewolves are insatiable, especially the Alphas have a high libido.

Although my virginity is still intact, we have not held back. I know what my mate tastes like, what he likes the most and where his sensitive spots are. I know everything about Zane and that already is so fulfilling. A surge of contentment runs through me. Waiting for my eighteenth birthday has now become much more bearable.

And Zane’s scent is more potent on me now.

My mother noticed it the day after the party. She took me aside and furiously demanded to know if Zane had taken my virginity, dictated that I should have waited until I was eighteen and my wolf confirmed he was my true mate. When my father heard the commotion, he ran over and threatened to hold Zane accountable and was already on his way to my mate’s room.

However, Zane had already expected this. He had come down the stairs, taking me in his arms as he stared meaningfully at my father.

“Father, please, I don’t believe you are unaware of the fact that there are multiple ways to make love, satisfying your mate,” he started. Surprised by the turn the matter had taken, my parents turned blood-red before they looked at each other guiltily.

Yes, that’s when I realized they understood what we had done. They were also young once and did all of this too. No saints here. But Zane wasn’t ready to let them go and jacked up their awkwardness.

“Mercedes is now sixteen and no longer believes in the fairy tales of the bees and flowers. She is on her way to becoming a woman and she has needs. I couldn’t stand by and let her suffer.”

Before he could continue embarrassing them with his lengthy abstract explanation, my father raised both hands.

“Enough, enough, we got it, Alpha. No need to go into details,” he exclaimed, blushing like hell. And then I couldn’t contain my laughter, and neither could Zane. We screeched unabashedly with laughter and clung to each other for support. My parents stared at us with growing discomfort at the situation.

“Indeed, she is close to adulthood. We had ignored that for a long time. Our baby is now a woman”, my mother sighed afterward. I then turned around, ran up the stairs and moved all my stuff from my room to Zane’s. No one could stop me, Zane and I now share the bed.

A new message takes me out of my musings.

‘I was about to leave but felt your mind sinking drastically. Did something happen at school, love? You know you can tell me anything.’

‘The Alpha son wants to be associated with me now that I’m next in line for the Beta position. I don’t want to annoy him, so I’m going to dinner with his family tomorrow night in the packhouse. When I’m there, I will explain to his parents that I am your Luna and Glary must find another candidate,’ I text back. ‘His proximity was disturbing and I let him know. Perhaps you sensed that.’

His response arrived a few seconds later. ‘Might be. You have an hour off, aren’t you? I’m here to say goodbye to you. You know I’m leaving tonight with my Gamma, right?’Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

A warm feeling comes over me, Zane is just what I need to forget about that annoying meeting with Gary.

‘I’ll be waiting in the parking lot,’ I let him know. I collect my books and immediately leave the library.

“Are you done, Mercedes?” the librarian asked me. “You still have almost an hour left.”

I smile politely. “My mate is leaving for a business trip, I’m going to greet him and come back”, I told him.

When I arrive at the parking lot, I see Zane’s SUV approaching. He hasn’t gotten out properly when I throw myself into his arms.

“Come back as soon as possible, babe. I’m going to miss you so much”, I whispered in his ear as I take his earlobe in my mouth to remind him of what we will miss. He smiled, his hand disappears into my hair.

“Don’t be afraid, I will not stay a minute longer, I will even swim across the ocean if my flight is delayed”, Zane promised. “Don’t forget that I am always available for you. You can always call or text me as soon as you need it,” he urged me.

After a hot kiss, he gets back in. I wave until he is out of sight. And when I turn to re-enter the school building, I see Glary standing there watching.

Goodness, does he really have nothing else to do but mind other’s business?….
