What's in a Name?

Lunark sat on the armchair and looked around in astonishment. Frankenstein's house is really the most strange and welcoming place she has ever seen. Nobles side by side with modified humans, the most powerful human and Nobility sitting together talking… She does not speak much; she listens, her reflex forever to understand and evaluate a situation. At her side, Kentas seems equally attentive.

Suddenly, a sonette sounds.

"Oh," said the owner of the house, turning around, "the children have arrived. Kentas, could you go open them please?"

Even though Kentas finds it odd that he sends him, a stranger, he gets up and heads for the hallway. Immediately, Frankenstein gets up and goes to sit next to Lunark with a smirk directed at Kentas. Kentas rolls his eyes. This man was decidedly smart, but not very subtle.

"Take tea, it's delicious," he said, showing Lunark the tea-pot. She gratefully accepts and watches him pour the tea carefully. These days, she wants to watch him at all times. When he's done, he's resting the spoon on the table. The room is quiet all of a sudden. The RKs have their eyes fixed on their boss and Karias smiles, saying with amusement:

"You deliberately made Kentas leave."

Frankenstein sighs with annoyance, but before he could retort, the children enter loudly.

"Rai! You're back! "Exclaims Shinwoo enthusiastically. "Hey, there are more guests!"

"Hello, Shinwoo and friends." Greets Frankenstein, although exasperated with the noise he is happy to see normal life come back, even if he does not know for how long. "I present to you Kentas," the burly man waves slightly at the kids in acknowledgment "and this woman next to me is called … "

He hesitates a moment. Lunark having been a Union elder, revealing her real name would not be a good idea…

"… Luna," he finishes, under a sudden inspiration.

At that moment, Lunark freezes, his cheeks red, trembling. Kentas's eyes widen.

"Y-You… insolent …" she stammers, "You … you should not talk so easily to a woman! I… I… I do not accept it! It's too early!"

She gets up and leaves the room with a quick step, leaving Frankenstein stunned and Kentas a hand on the forehead, looking discouraged. "U-um, that was unexpected…" Shinwoo commented awkwardly through the silence. Everyone nodded in agreement. A few minutes pass, and the children go to the kitchen in the company of the RKs and Rai who gives a glance of encouragement to his servant. Leaving only Frankenstein, Kentas and Karias.

Once they are gone, Kentas says shaking his head, "She's right, you're going too fast. Lunark is a sensitive woman, even if she does not show it."

"But, what? What did I say wrong? "Said Frankenstein, completely confused.

''You do not know it? In werewolves, a ''Luna" is a lover. A man calls his wife "My Luna" when they are both alone, and he wants to either show her his love… or mate with her." Kentas said a matter-of-factly.

''What?!" Frankenstein shook his head in disbelief as Kentas continued. "It is true. It's about the equivalent of a kiss in the human. And if a werewolf woman agrees with the call, she normally responds ''My Alpha'' to the man." Kentas said with an affirmative nod.

Frankenstein then put his hand on his forehead and regretted not having asked for more information about the rituals of love at the time when Muzaka was Lord. Karias opened his mouth to make a remark, no doubt unpleasant, but the sudden arrival of a certain woman prevented him. All three men looked to the fiery woman, whose blush hasn't subsided in the slightest.

"I… well… even if it's early… I agree, my Alpha, but do not think you can get away with it!" Lunark said, managing to put her voice in order. And for the first time in his life, Frankenstein finds nothing to answer.

He did however hear a snicker from Karias.
