Chapter 5

 As we ate I noticed someone waving at me. I squinted to see a small brunette rushing over to our table. "Hey Marissa" I greeted her as she sat down on our table.

"Hi Luna" she smiled at me.

"You can call me Alli you know" I informed her.

"Well in that case, hi Alli".

"Sorry, who are you?" Mason blurted rudely, I kicked him under the table for being so rude. He glared at me but stayed silent before turning back to watch Marissa closely.

"Brody's sister ... we met yesterday" she said trying to remind him. He gave her a blank stare, not recalling her face at all. "You and my brother were having a tug of war over the Luna and I pulled her away," she prompted.

"Alli" I corrected her quickly.

"Oh right yeah sure" Mason shrugged, I could tell he didn't really care. Lunch seemed to drag, most Marissa talked and everyone listened. Mason and I felt the most uncomfortable, both of us not used to being around other wolves. We were used to the rouge lifestyle, and the rouge lifestyle was used to us.

After lunch Lennon, Mason and I all headed to our P.E lesson. I walked into the changing room, not surprised to see the three she-wolves from the day before in there. They all rushed over to me as soon as I walked in.

"Oh my gosh Luna we are so sorry for what happened yesterday" the red head gushed.

"Yeah we didn't mean any of it. Just messing" one of the blondes added nervously.

"Please don't tell the Alpha about It. He'll kick their asses all the way across the country" the other blonde added and I chuckled at how metaphorically they had their tails between their legs.

"It's fine, honestly" I assured them with a soft laugh before I walked away from them and changed into my gym clothes. Naturally Lennon and Mason were waiting for me outside the changing room. "You too look like such perverts right now, just waiting outside the girls changing rooms" I smirked at them. They both chuckled at me.

The curly brown haired boy, who'd tried to flirt with me the day before, rushed up to me the moment he noticed my arrival in the classroom. "Luna, I just wanted to apologize for yesterday. Saying those things to you was so out of line" he sald, his eyes cast to the floor.

"Jesus can everyone stop apologising to me" I sighed running a hand through my hair with a growl. The boy cringed before he scurried off to the other side of the room with all the other pack wolves. There were five other wolves in the lesson, not Including Lennon, Mason and myself.

"You alright?" Mason asked me, pulling me to the side slightly. Lennon stayed close but gave us time to ourselves.

"Just being around all these wolves is so unnatural" I growled, "both my wolf and I are constantly on edge" I told him.

"We can leave if you want" he said, in a voice too cheery for the situation. I punched him in the shoulder hard, he winced in slight pain as I walked off towards the main part of the gym for the beginning of the lesson.

"I'll take that as maybe" Mason called after me, I flipped him off. The lesson was running again, it was easy and I was top of the class by a long shot. The wolves all seemed impressed with my speed and I even had to slow myself so as not to make the human students suspicious of my running abilities.

The rest of the day was uneventful. Lennon, just as he had said, was in my Theatre Studies class which was nice. The bitchy she-wolf Jessica was also in that lesson, she glared at me the moment she saw me.

"Hey sweetheart" Brody smiled at me as I walked out of the school, his arm automatically going around me.

"Hi" I smiled up at him. He opened his car door and lifted me into the passenger's side. I gave him a bright smile.

"I've missed you" he whispered seductively in my ear before he shut the door and walked around to the driver's side. Mason slipped into the back, he was quiet. Quieter than normal. Even when Brody placed his hand on my knee he stayed quiet.

'Mase you alright? I asked him mentally.

"Fine,'' he replied, "but I need to do IT tonight". I looked at him in the rear mirror and nodded, telling him I understood. Brody drove us back to our apartment and walked in with us.

"I'm staying here" Mason said as soon as we walked in, I gave him a confused look. "You can move in with Brody, but I'm not joining the pack" he stated.

"But Mase…"

"I'm sorry Alli '' he cut me off, "but I can't do it. You know what it's like for me ... it's easier for you. I just ... I can't" he rambled, I could see the fear in his eyes. He was scared they would find out about us.

"But we've never not lived together" I whimpered, feeling my eyes watering.

"Don't cry sweetheart" Brody said, squeezing my hip softly.

"Alli you know that I can't" he said and I nodded before I moved over and hugged him. Mason embraced me, running a hand over my hair soothingly, before he turned to Brody. "Now I am being nice, and allowing you to live with my sister. But under one condition" he stated.

"What?" Brody asked suspiciously.

"One night a week Alli and I get time alone, with no pack wolves. I will bring her back to the pack house for her to sleep" he said. I knew why he said it, I hadn't thought about IT until that point. It was clever of Mason.

"Yeah that's alright isn't it Brody?" I begged my mate, cuddling up close to him to try and weaken his will. I gave him my biggest puppy dog look, the one that possessive male wolves found so adorable. Brody pouted his lips.

"One pack wolf with her," Brody bargained.

"No" Mason shook his head negatively. "Either one night a week, no pack wolves, or I'll move In with you and I'll be cock blocking you at every turn" he said.

"Please Brody" I whined, sticking my bottom lip out and trying to look cute. He let out a growl of annoyance and ran a hand down his face.

"Fine" he breathed out and I jumped up and down happily.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" I hugged Brody and got on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek sweetly. After that Brody helped me pack, it didn't take long as everything was already in my suitcase, he carried it out to his car.

"I'll see you at school in the morning" Mason smiled at me. I nodded and hugged him. I shed a few tears, not wanting to part with my twin. "You and me for forever and always" he told me.

"You and me for always and forever" I told him back, something we used to always say when we were younger, Brody came back up and took me down to the car.

"Ready to live with me sweetheart?" Brody asked and I nodded and he started the car. We drove in silence until we reached the pack house. Brody helped me out the car, his hand in mine, as he picked my suitcase out the back and walked inside.

As soon as we were in the house, a dark skinned man rushed over to us. I knew instantly that he was Brody's Beta. He smiled at me and offered me his hand; "it's lovely to finally meet you Luna. I'm Charlie, the Beta here".

"Nice to meet you Charlie" I shook his hand, "I'm Allison, but you can call me Alli" I told him. "You're Lennon's mate right?" I asked, remembering Lennon saying his mate was the Beta. I had heard of same sex mates, but had never met any until then. But just looking at them I could imagine Lennon and Charlie together, they'd be a cute couple.

Charlie took my bag as Brody gave me a tour; his hand on the small of my back the whole time. Lots of pack wolves said hello to me, Brody glared at any of the unmated males that did so.

Then he came to stop in front of a white door on the empty side of the pack house. "This side of the pack house is just for us" Brody said as the door opened.

"Wait, are we sharing a bed?" I asked him nervously as I looked around the bedroom. It had a large white poster bed, a walk-in closet, a balcony and a connecting bathroom. The room was decorated white and purple; it was both tasteful and smart.

"Yes, why don't you want to share a bed with me, sweetheart?" he chuckled as his arms wrapped around me from behind.

"I am just nervous," I whispered to him.

"Don't be nervous little mate" he purred in my ear, "I'm going to take things nice and slow". He then began slowly kissing my neck, his lips soft and gentle. I shivered in reply and he chuckled. "Mine" he muttered as he continued to kiss my neck, his hands slipping around me as he pressed my back to his solid chest.

A knock came on the door and Brody pulled away from me and groaned. "Perfect timing for them to arrive" he mumbled as he headed towards the door.

"For whom to arrive?" I asked in confusion.

"My parents will want to meet you sweetheart" he smirked at me and opened the door. I gulped nervously, I couldn't believe I was about to meet my mate's parents.
