Chapter 6
Waking up wrapped in Brians arms was the best feeling for Elizabeth. He looked so peaceful as he slept. She realized the more time she spent with him the more she couldn’t live without him and couldn’t understand how her mother could throw that feeling away all for her. Looking at her mate sleeping so close to her, she couldn’t help but lean over and kiss his perfectly soft lips. Brian woke up slightly and wrapped his arms around her holding her close, neither wanting to move but knowing they had to. Today was the day Elizabeth was joining Brian in the pack house. Nerves were getting the better of her, it is never easy to move but to move in with people you don’t know in a whole new world you know nothing about, was a bit overwhelming for her. Rosie perked up “Lizzy everything will be fine, everyone will love you. You have nothing to worry about.” she tried to reassure Lizzy. Redundantly she moved his arms from her waist and started getting dressed. She put on her favorite red shirt that showed just the right amount of her stomach and a pair of jean shorts, braiding her hair she finished her look for the day, and she thought she did pretty well. “You look great Lizzy, and you're going to be a fantastic Luna. Just keep your head held high. The goddess would not have paired you with an alpha if you were not going to be a good luna. Remember that.” those were the last words Rosie shared before Elizabeth walked out of the bathroom. Feeling a little better about herself, she walked with her head high, right into Brian.
“Hello beautiful” he said with his dashing smile. “Good morning handsome’ how did you sleep?” she asked quietly. “With an angel in my arms, wonderfully, best night's sleep I have had in a very long time.” he replied as he kissed her forehead. Blushing Elizabeth turned away embarrassed by how red she became, which only made him laugh. “come on let’s get going a lot to do today.” He said as he grabbed her hand and lead her to the car waiting for them out front. As she closed the door to her childhood home for the last time, she was caught by a small sense of sadness and at the same time joy, because even though one part of her life was ending a whole new life was about to begin. “Ready to go my love?” Brian whispered in Elizabeth’s ear, slowly moving a random strand of hair from the side of her face, kissing her mark on her neck. Smiling Elizabeth took one last look at the house she grew up in, “yes, let’s go home.”
The drive seemed a lot longer than it really was, Elizabeth eyes were drawn to the huge house in front of her. It had to be at least four stories, all red brick with black trim, it had huge bay windows on each floor and the front door was bright red with a crescent moon shaped window in the middle. It was beautiful from top to bottom and larger than she could have ever thought. “It's beautiful” Elizabeth said in awe. Brian smiled, “It’s now your home and almost as beautiful as you.” Showing him her shy smile that he loved so much “shall we go in?” she asked. Brian smiled from ear to ear, “after you my love, there are a lot of people waiting to meet their Luna.” Even though she was nervous Elizabeth held her head high as she entered the place she would now call home,
As she entered the door all her worries went away, the first thing she saw was a huge banner that said, “Welcome our future Luna!” Elizabeth was met with an enormous number of faces all looking to meet her. Elizabeth let out a sigh of relief. She was home. Her mother finally found her after pushing her way through the crowd. “Oh honey, I’ve missed you! How are you feeling? Are you ok?” Lily asked Elizabeth rather quickly, before eyeing the mark on her neck, Lily gave Elizabeth a knowing smile and said “well Hun I guess you're ok after all” she said with a smirk, making Elizabeth blush knowing what her mother saw. Moving along she met a lot of people she wasn’t sure if she would remember half of their names. But she remembered the important ones, Brian’s family, her family.
The first one she met was Brians mother Violet. Violet was so happy to meet the girl who made her oldest boy so happy, she wrapped her arms around Elizabeth and gave her a motherly hug, “I am so happy to finally meet the girl that has been driving my son crazy! You are more beautiful than I thought, I am so happy for the two of you.” she told Elizabeth before she was pulled away to meet the next person. The next person she came across was Brians father, Evan the current Alpha of the pack, Elizabeth thought Alphas would look mean and tough, and he did. “Hello Ms. Elizabeth, I am very pleased to meet you finally.” Evan looked her over and gave her a slight smirk. “Hello sir, nice to meet you, I can see where Brian gets his looks.” Elizabeth said in a matter-of-fact tone. And they did. They both had perfect brown hair and bright sky blue almost gray eyes, they were tall and solid muscle. You could tell they were related from a mile away. Elizabeth could feel someone starring at her, but when she looked around, she couldn’t see the source. It was unnerving to her. Feeling something was off with his mate, Brian pulled her aside, “hey, is everything okay? You look like somethings wrong?”. “I'm fine I just have a funny feeling someone is watching me; I mean I know everyone is looking at me, but this is different. I don’t know how to explain it besides saying its uncomfortable. I felt their eyes burning into me but when I looked around no one was even looking at me. It's just weird to me.” Elizabeth tried to explain before she could say anything else, she was pulled away and wrapped in someone else’ arms. As she was being pulled from him, Jack, Brians wolf let out a small growl, once they saw who it was they couldn’t help but laugh. Maddie had Elizabeth wrapped in a huge hug, Maddie was Brians youngest sibling, she was also the only girl. “Oh my god, it’s about time you got here I've been waiting FOREVER for you to finally show up, I mean do you know what it's like to be surrounded by nothing but men all the time. Ni mean how is a girl to survive!” Maddie was talking to Elizabeth so fast; she could barely understand her. Luckily Brian came to the rescue. “Hey mads, give her a break, you know you have the best brothers in town.” just as Brian said the words Ryan walked up. Ryan is the middle child, he is the jokester, he had his mothers’ red hair and bright green eyes. He was a foot shorter than Brian and not as built. “Hey sis, you bugging the new girl already, she’s only been here a couple hours. Give her a break would ya.” he said before he started laughing, turning to Elizabeth “Hey there Mrs. Lunabeth how ya
doin’? Excuse my lil sis, she just wants someone to girl talk with in the house haha. By the way names Ryan.” he said to her holding out his hand. Elizabeth tilted her head and took his hand “Nice to meet you Ryan, Lunabeth huh, I kinda like it” she said smiling. Elizabeth could tell the two of them would get along great. “Maddie, I would love to girl talk with you later, maybe you can give me some juicy details on your brothers here.” Elizabeth said with a smile. Both boys had a scared look on their face “DONT YOU DARE!” they both yelled at once. Their reaction made both girls die laughing.Their laughing brought over a few new faces, all wanting to know what was so funny. “Yo Bri, what’s so funny?” said a guy who looked like a model out of a magazine. “Nothings funny Jacob, Mrs. Lunabeth over here is trying to squeeze intel from mads.” Brian said to his best friend. “Hey” Ryan chimed in “you cant call her that, Mrs. Lunabeth is my name for her, you call her hunny bunny or something Sicking like that!” Brian started laughing, Elizabeth scowled. Looking at Brian she told him “You ever call me hunny bunny and you’ll be finding a nice couch somewhere.” Fear hit Brians eyes “I would never do such a thing sweetheart.” he said. “Oh snap! The beast can be tamed” said another young boy. Elizabeth smiled “hi I'm Elizabeth but everyone can call me Lizzy.” she said to the boy. “Hey there Lizzy, I'm Travis” nudging Ryan, “I’m this assholes’ best friend.” he said laughing.
She met a few others, Austin, who she was told would be her bodyguard was just one of the many. Everyone seemed to like her, well except Jessica. Jessica was Jacob's twin sister; Elizabeth didn’t know until later that Jess had a crush on Brian since they were in kindergarten. There was tension there. Soon the welcome party was over, and Brian was leading Elizabeth to the bedroom so they could relax. “Let’s get some sleep love” he said to her as he shut the door.” Elizabeth yawned “that actually sounds pretty good” she said looking around at the massive room that was now hers. There was a huge king-sized bed with matching end tables. She looked to the right and saw a ginormous walk-in closet filled with clothes. “Are these all mine?” she asked Brian shocked. “Of course, they are I had your mom go buy you some more things, is that okay?” he asked. Elizabeth had never seen so many clothes in one place before let alone them all be hers. “It’s great!” she said excited as she looked through everything. “Why don’t I start you a bath so you can relax.” Brian mentioned the idea of a bath and Elizabeth melted. “oh yes” she said in almost a moan “a bath would be wonderful.” He smiled seeing her look so happy filled his heart. “Then a bath it is my Luna.” he turned and walked through a door on the other side of the room, and she couldn’t help but follow. When she entered the room, her jaw dropped. This bathroom was bigger than her whole bedroom growing up! It had a huge glass and tile stand up shower with six different streams of water, two sinks, and a three-person jet tub with candles all around and a fireplace built into the wall. Brian had just finished filling the tub, adding rose petals and bubble bath. “Brian this is amazing.” she said as he walked over to her, slowly wrapping his arm around her and giving her a soft and gentle kiss. “I have been waiting to do this since we got here.” he said as he helped her take off her clothes and get into the tub. “now you lay and relax.” he said as he turned to give her some space. “Thank you” she said as he closed the door.
After what feels like forever, Elizabeth makes her way out of the tub, not bothering to get dressed she heads towards the bed where Brian is waiting with a coy smile plastered on his face. "Don't get any ideas wolf-boy" Elizabeth scolds looking at Brian. Clearing his throat, he asks her "feeling better?" to which she smiled and replied "much". Smiling back, he pats the bed next to him "good now come here.". Shaking her head Elizabeth climbs into bed, feeling Brians arms wrap tightly around her she signed peacefully not knowing how life could get any better. Morning came before they knew it. E
Elizabeth followed Violet out of the dining room to begin learning about her future as well as her past. Luna Violet could tell Lizzy was nervous and could understand why. Violet knew Elizabeth grew up knowing nothing about the world she was just thrown into, no idea who she was or where she came from or what was happening and would happen to her. She was determined to teach her as much as she could before she stepped down as Luna and Elizabeth steps up. Violet knew Elizabeth was more than capable, I mean she did have beta blood in her. Violet had known Jason for years. Jason is Alpha Evans’ beta and had been since the beginning. She also knew Lily when her and Jason first started out all those years ago. It was just by chance that Jason and Lily ever even met. That was a time before Evan was Alpha or even with her, they were just teens. Jason had just turned eighteen, Evan was sixteen and I was seventeen we all decided to go have some fun at a local
Chapter 9 After dinner Brian and Elizabeth went for a walk, where they were approached by Jason. “I’m sorry for interrupting your night, but I had a question for Lizzy” he said to the pair. Brian nodded and turned to leave until Jason grabbed his arm to stop him “I think you should be here too.” Jason said startling Brian. They both stared at him curious. Jason turned to Elizabeth, “Lizzy, you just turned eighteen, you just learned about wolves, you have never shifted, and I
The group ran to the pack house as quickly as they could, which being wolves was pretty fast. As soon as they got in the door everyone knew something was seriously wrong. “What happened out there?” Lily asked Jason. “Elizabeth shifted for the first time, and we all felt a presence of something or someone we didn’t recognized the scent of and then a howl came out of nowhere not far from where we were. If they saw Lizzy shift, we may have a problem.” Jason said with a tone of sadness in his voice. Lily was confused “Jason what do you mean? What happened?” Jason looked around finding the Alphas eyes “can we use your office? It’s a little more private we don’t need the pack worried about things they might not even have to be worried about.” He said in a matter-of-fact tone. Evan looked at if he was about to say the same thing, nodding his head and motioning towards his office door they all started to head there. Elizabeth stopped mid step and looked to Brian “can we go to our room first I
Brian rushed Elizabeth to the pack hospital. On his way there he mind linked Alpha Evan and Austin to meet him there. Concerned Lily and Jason hurried there to find out what happened to their daughter. Seeing his mate fall to the ground unconscious scared Brian and his wolf, not knowing what else to do he picked her up and ran, grabbing the note on his way out of the door. When everyone was finally there, they all saw Elizabeth laying in a bed hooked up to machines. Jason was furious “WHAT HAPPENED” he yelled at no one in particular. Brian still shaking from everything that came to light this morning held up the note to which lily gasped. “How?” was all Evan could say. “I don’t know dad; we woke up and it was on the dresser and it wasn’t there last night we checked the whole room before going to bed. Liz was having nightmares all night but I never got to hear what they were about because she collapsed after reading this.” he said holding the note up. Evan took the note from him and re
The day went on and everyone was on edge waiting for the test results to come back. After what seemed like forever the doctor walked into the room and everyone jumped up at the same time. “What is it doc?” Jason asked extremely curious to find out the results. Doc smiled at him then looked to Lily “You said you were not a shifter, is that right?” he asked in a questionable tone. Lily was taken aback for a brief second, nodding her head once she finally snapped out of the shock his question had put her in. “Well from what we can tell by the blood work you must be at least half shifter, as for you Jason you show that you are full shifter. From what we can tell from the blood results is first she is indeed your child and shares a fair amount of both your DNA. That being said she still has us all racking our heads trying to figure out what she is. She has the wolf gene but also has whatever it is that Jason is and what we presume to be her mother’s shifter blood which is also to be determ
Elizabeth was still asleep and had no idea what was going on around her, all she knew was she couldn’t move, hear or see anything. The last thing she could remember was screaming when she found a letter on her dresser, she didn't even know where she was right now or where Brian was. Then she looked around in the dark space surrounding her and that's where she saw them, the big red eyes that had been haunting her dreams for as long as she could remember. No one ever said anything, it was just always those red eyes staring at her in the dark. She tried to get away from them but they always stayed, watching. Andrew sat on his throne waiting to hear what he already knew. He knew she was still asleep for he was watching her in her dreams. He had taught himself how to use his gift to see her in her sleep since he couldn't see her awake. This was how he was going to make her fall in love with him and chose him over that good for nothing Brian. Just thinking of Brian and Elizabeth, His Eliz
