Chapter 9
"So, you're a Shape-Shifter too, huh?" Brady asked me the next morning when he entered the car and I groaned softly inside. Here I did hope he would not bring yesterday up, but he did.
"Yes. Thought you guys would have figured it out by now," I shrugged, as I turned the car back to the road. Grandma had pushed me in to going to school today while all I wanted to do was curl up in my bed and never come out of it again. I felt miserable. Tried not to show it from the outside, but knowing Brady, he sure would bring up the topic sooner or later.
"We couldn't catch your scent and still can't." I was surprised to hear him say that, but then remembered that the two vampires talked about it as well as how they couldn't catch it. Could it be possible that, by being banished, my scent had become vague as to not be discovered by any other supernatural creatures?
"Because I'm no part of your pack?" I questioned out loud. "Most likely for being a lone wolf," he suggested as what I was just thinking. He and my thoughts could be right about that. Being a lone wolf was difficult enough, let alone survive on your own.
If a vampire caught you, you were most likely killed before you could even blink.
"I'm not going to join the pack your in. If that's what you want to suggest," I already warned him as I saw him opening and close his mouth. He shook his head at that comment.
"That was not what I was going to say, but I wanted to suggest it later on... but why not?" he asked me and I sighed. "I have my reasons for that Brady." I muttered. Being in a pack meant sharing each other thoughts. Being in this pack meant, sharing my private thoughts with them. I did not want that. And as they had not asked me yet to join them, I was more than happy to be a lone wolf.
It also meant I didn't have to be close to him... Him... I still remembered his eyes and face as clear as yesterday. I felt the pull towards him, but ignored it.
"Your difficult to read sometimes," he muttered and I slapped him on the back of his head for that, before I pulled in to a parking lot. I gazed through Brady's window for a moment, seeing how those of the pack, who went to school, already had arrived.
"Ready to meet the pack?" he asked, rubbing the back of his head. Not at all pleased for that I had slapped him. I shook my head.
"I'll never be ready, but don't have a choice, do I?" He shook his head and I sighed. Better had to get it over with. I had seen them in wolf form yesterday, but never gotten their name. And I knew I would see them at school.
When we stepped out, I took a deep breath. Hoping and silently wondering that the rest of the pack would leave me alone as soon as introductions had been made. Although a feeling inside of me told me that that wouldn't be the case and I would see more of them then I actually wanted.
There was also the silent hope that he would be there, but I quickly pushed that thought away. I couldn't be thinking of him. I couldn't become close to him. He and they would only be in danger because of me.
"You coming?" Brady called out to me, who already had joined his pack brothers and only now I realized I still stood by my car. I heaved a sigh. Trying to relax myself. This was just meeting them. After that, I could go my own way. With that in mind I finally walked up to the pack of wolves, just at the moment a few girls arrived as well. They looked curiously at me. And I wasn't sure if they knew about their boyfriends being wolfs.
"This is Terrence Heath, but you already met him in class," I nodded. Recognizing the tall young male. He gave me a grin. He was in my math class and was trying to help me figure out math.
"Kenton Dwight and his girlfriend Toria Sharrow." Brady continued. I had a feeling I might like Toria. Looking at how her energy was surrounding the girl. A strong energy that kept her firm in place. Kenton waved at me slightly, giving me a small smile. It was almost as he wasn't completely comfortable to be in a pack and I was wondering how that could be. Maybe I would learn his story later on.
"Koby Jakeman," Brady continued, gaining my attention back to the pack of wolves standing in front of me. It was my turn to give this boy a small smile. He was slightly taller than Kenton, but I somehow might like to hang out with this one.
"Keiran Westley," Brady gained my attention back once again to the introduction of the pack. Keiran had his arms crossed in front of his chest. Raising an eyebrow when I looked at him. Did he try to impress me? It wasn't working.
"Don't mind him Luna. We always compare him with Paul, due to his temper," Brady chuckled, which earned him a growl from Keiran.
"Wouldn't want to push your buttons Brady." He warned my new friend.
"Wouldn't want to push mine either," I warned Keiran now. I didn't like his attitude.
"I was talking to Brady," he retorted back and I glared at him. "And I'm talking to you. Brady is my friend. Pushing him, would mean you're pushing me too," And here I was, protecting Brady. Yes, I had gained a friend in him and he in me.
"Keiran, back off. What if Jake..." but Koby quickly stopped by the mention of Jake's name, watching me carefully. Who was Jake...? I had a feeling, but I was quick to push that away. The meeting with my soul mate still clear in my head.
"What, he wants me to be nice to her? Not going to happen," Oh, I so had enough of this boy.
"Yeah, well..." Brady began, trying to gain my attention back to him, instead of Keiran. Knowing that if a fight broke out between the two of us, Keiran most likely would win it too. "This is Seth Clearwater and his girlfriend Annie McIyre. She is only here now to drop Seth off, before heading to the hospital in Forks," Seth grinned at me and even Annie was beaming at meeting me. Wonder how that thought would change if they would find the truth about me. They looked too innocent. Too happy. I wasn't sure whether I liked them or not. Brady also began to introduce me to Embry and Quil, who were only at the schoolyard to meet me, before heading back to their job and was also quick to introduce me to Trevor Mondy, a nice, but quiet and shy boy who stood a little behind the rest of the pack. Zeph Morrison, who stood besides Quil. Zeph looked to be around sixteen, but I had a feeling he was a bit younger than that.
Wallis Merchant. Another boy I did not like from this pack and I felt sorry for his girlfriend that she had to hang around with someone like him. Although, maybe she was already thinking about breaking up with him. I surely would. He looked like he hated everyone around him, with the exception of his girlfriend, but that the pack did accept him for who he was as he was a pack brother too.
"So, you're the one who has made sure we had to do extra patrols huh?" Wallis spat, making sure everyone was ready to step in when needed. If I thought that I disliked Keiran, I was sure to re-think that over and dislike Wallis even more.
"Wallis, calm down," Seth began, pushing Annie lightly behind him.
"No Seth. Jacob may be head over heels with her, but as Keiran said, he can't expect we are going to be nice to her," I snapped my head at him. What was this boy problem? If they had to do extra patrols, then it surely wasn't my fault. He couldn't blame me.
"I don't know Wallis. I have only met you now, I have no idea about extra patrols," which was a lie. I had noticed them running past my house more then when I had arrived last week.
"Wallis," his girlfriend tugged on his arm as to distract him, but with no luck. He kept glaring at me like I was some threat to them. He pushed his girlfriend lightly behind him too, before coming closer to me. I took a few steps back, but he was quick to grab my arm.
"Let go," I hissed at him. The pack wanted to interfere, but maybe they knew how Wallis could react if you would interfere with him too much. From out the corner of my eye I saw how Embry and Quil stepped closer, but Wallis grip around my arm tightened even more with every step they took closer to him, which made them stop.
"No. I warn you, wolf girl. Become a threat to us and you're dead." he hissed in my ear and I gulped. He was no alpha, I could tell that. So why would he feel like I was a threat to him?
Authors note: Uh oh, at least two boys don't like it that Luna is with them. Wallis sure has some temper issues and might be even worse then Paul xD And here we thought Paul was the worst xD He is beaten xD Sorry Paul xD You're too kind comparing to Wallis xD
More about Wallis will be explained later in the story though! Let's just hope that he will come to like Luna, before he does something stupid xD Maybe giving him some extra patrol hours wouldn't be so bad xD
Thank you all again for all the nice and lovely respond to the last chapter! I LOVE YOU ALL! I'm still in awe by all the response I got!
This chapter is also dedicated to my lovely grandmother who passed away last Friday. Her cremation was last wednesday and I'll miss her with my whole heart.
Grandma, you were the best!
Enough rambling, on to replying to you!:
OceanxEyes: Thank you so much for your nice review! Here is the new chapter :D Enjoy!
Rain girl 19: Thank you so much for your nice review! Yes it finally did! Poor Jacob though. Has he finally found his imprint, is she running away from him! Here is the new update :D Enjoy!
AnonymousShadowReader1: Thank you so much for your nice review! Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, Leah has a friend xD Kind of xD If Luna isn't pushing her away as well xD But hey, they're female shape-shifters, they will work it out xD Haha yeah me too xD Brady as Cupido xD hm, not sure if that's the right combination haha xD but someone has to try something xD Oh, would you like to help me with some? I'm pretty bad at humor xD Let alone those kind of things xD It may go through PM if you would like! Would be lovely to have something like that in the story!
Secret-Writer91: Thank you so much for your nice review! As far As I know for now, she only knows about Brady, due to hanging out with his mother on a regular base, and now through Luna as well, but I wouldn't be surprised if she know a few others as well due to seeing them :D
chyanne200: Thank you so much for your nice review! And yes, he will. I feel sorry for the two :( but it is much needed for the story to have it happen xD But they will get together eventually!
polly2010: Thank you so much for your nice review :D !
Mrs . IsaacLahey14: Thank you so much for your nice review! Yeah, poor them! I still feel sorry that I'm putting them through this! And oh! You're a Teenwolf fan too :D YEAH! Don't spoil anything of the latest season! Still need to finish season 4 and thinking of re-watching it :D Still want to write a fanfiction for that one too! And thank you so much for following the story and for adding the story to your favorites!
Reader101: Thank you so glad for your nice review! I'm glad you loved the chapter :D
Guest: Thank you so much for your nice review! I'm glad you loved the whole meeting! And yes, letting her fall completely in love with Jacob would go against her natural instinct. Especially due to what is hanging over her. It will take time for her to trust and be completely open to Jacob. But eventually, she will! He will just have to win her heart :D And with Brady, playing Cupido, I'm sure it will work out for them xD As long as Wallis isn't causing any trouble though xD
Ariana Hadley: Thank you so much for your nice review! And yeah me too! But Brady is a good friend to her and that's all she needs in him! And yes, he is! He has already gone through so much with Bella years earlier, he deserves to have his soul mate in his life :D
