So, look at this! I've been bit by the Wolf bug once again! Yes, this is the [hopefully] long-awaited sequel to "Blue Moon: What If?"
Even though it is only set like a week after the original story, there may be some references to Season 2. Just ignore the time differences.
Hope ya'll like it.
And please remember, this is SLASH. As in GUYxGUY. If you do not like, then hit that back button and completely ignore this story.
I don't own MBaV. If I did, we'd have a Season 3 by now. So, no Copyright intended.
…
Benny stood in front of the Morgan's bathroom mirror, staring at the dark mark that painted his skin on his left shoulder. Lately, he noticed that it had seemed to be taking on a different shape and texture all on its own –more like a tattoo than a bruise; flipping through the book on werewolves that his grandma had lent him, he kept looking for anything about Werewolves and their mate's marks. Taking a brief glance at his watch, he saw it was almost 7:30. He'd have to finish looking later.
Need to stop worrying about this and get ready for school; can't be late, he thought to himself as he shrugged on his shirt. Ethan had been out for almost a week, getting used to the new wolf he was, but Benny, although his mate, was still forced to go to school for 8 hours, which drove both him and Ethan mad. Neither wanted to be away from the other, but didn't seem to have a choice; Grandma was very certain about that. But she did get Benny an excuse to stay over at Ethan's on the school week; Since Ethan was out "sick", Benny was taking care of him. Grandma had put it in such a way that Ethan's mom couldn't say no.
"Benny?" he heard Mrs. Morgan calling for him. "Hurry up; you don't want to be late."
"Coming Mrs. M!" he called out, leaving the bathroom and peeking into Ethan's room, only to see his best friend-slash-mate curled up in a ball at the foot of the bed, sleeping peacefully. Stepping as quietly as he could, he moved next to him and leaned down, kissing him softly on the cheek. Ethan opened an eye lazily and growled happily.
"Leaving?" he muttered, eye straining to keep open.
"Yeah, gotta go to school." Ethan growled but nodded.
"No one touches you right?"
"No one. Rory keeps them all away with his weirdness." Ethan smiled at that and tilted his face some so he could get a real kiss from his mate.
"Love you."
"Love you too. Now go back to sleep." Ethan nodded and was soon fast asleep once again. Benny smiled warmly at him before heading downstairs.
"Good morning," he said to Ethan's mom, sitting down and munching on some bacon. She gave him a strained smile, which he instantly noticed. "Are you okay Mrs. M?"
"Oh. Y-yes… I suppose…" she said, looking at her cup of coffee before looking up at Benny. "No I'm not! Benny I know… I know… Ethan…and you," is all she could get out, closing her eyes. Benny looked confused, and then shocked, as he got what she was saying.
"You know about … Ethan and me," he stated rather than ask. She just nodded and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Are you…upset?"
"No! No of course not. I always considered you as part of the family dear, it's just a lot to handle is all. But I can tell how happy you two are together… But…"
"But what?"
"Is Ethan…? Well… Is he… different lately?" she asked, and Benny felt his eyes widen.
"Um…"
"I know, we'll just talk after school. You need to get going." He nodded and got up, the book about werewolves falling out of his bag. Before he could grab she had it, handing it to him, lips trembling. "H-have a g-good d-day Benny," she got out, eyes filling with tears. He hated seeing Mrs. Morgan like that.
"Maybe you should invite my grandma over for lunch," he said, hoping she caught on; the way her jaw dropped, she did.
"M-maybe I will."
"And it might not be too bad to have Ethan there too." She just nodded and waved at him.
"Stay safe." He nodded back at her and left, heading towards the school. Rory met him halfway, and they were off.
…
Ethan woke up close to noon; an involuntary whine left his lips as he realized his mate was gone, but then he remembered where he went.
Got to get myself under control, he thought, not wanting to see like a loss puppy. He was getting better at it though. The first couple of days after they mated, Ethan was miserable; he didn't even get out of bed then. Now he could get through the day in peace before Benny came back. He glanced at his phone to see a text from Benny.
Be careful E, your mom knows somethings up. Love you.Surprised by this, Ethan got up and headed towards the living room, where he could smell his mom was at. Gotta love the super smell. He stopped when he saw what she was watching; a documentary on Wolves.
"Mom?" he asked, standing in the doorway to the living room; she didn't look at him, just motioned for him to come sit next to her. "Are you okay?" he asked when he saw her; her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
"You weren't going to tell us were you," she muttered, watching as a wolf on the screen attacked another for getting near its mate. "About you… and Benny… You thought we would never notice, but I'm your mother. How can I not notice when something is different about my own son?"
"Mom-"
"No. You can explain when Evelyn gets here."
"Grandma's coming over?" he asked; it had become second nature to him after the mating with Benny to call her that. His mom noticed this and her mouth tightened in a thin line.
"Yes. She is. Benny suggested I talk to her." Ethan nodded and stood up slowly.
"I'm gonna go get dressed…Are you okay?" she nodded and smiled tiredly at him.
"I'll be okay." He nodded and ran up to his room to get dressed, hoping his mom was sure about that.
…
Grandma sat across from Ethan's mom, sipping a cup of tea. They were waiting on Ethan, but Mrs. Morgan could barely control herself.
"What happened to him?" she asked quietly, and Grandma frowned.
"You'll need to be more specific."
"Evelyn. Please. What happened to my son?"
"That's a complicated story…"
"Please. Help me understand. Benny suggested I talk to you. You know something about this don't you."
"Yes, I know everything," she said with a reluctant nod. Samantha sobbed, eyes glazing over.
"Please, Evelyn. Please." She nodded now.
"Let's wait for Ethan. I need to tell him some things as well."
"Will he be okay?"
"He's stronger than you know Samantha. If you knew the hell he's been through, you would have more faith in him." Samantha nodded and cleared her face of all emotion as she heard Ethan get ready to come downstairs.
…
Ooh, that was a doozy of a first chapter wasn't it?
It just gets better from here ;)
See ya next time.
