All Chapters of The Human Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

It seems like something is bothering Xavion during breakfast, so I do the unthinkable and reach out to his shoulder to soothe him. He slightly jumps at my sudden action but quickly relaxes in my touch. "I'll talk with my colleagues on Monday," I whisper in his ear as he slithers his hands around my waist to hug me from behind. Xavion perks up at my statement and drops his head on my shoulder with a smile, clearly content with my words. "How about we all do something fun together to get to know each other? The town doesn't have a lot to do but I'm sure we'll come with something," I broadcast to the rest of the visitors. "I love that, otherwise I'll faint by being in such close proximity with my brother for much longer," Tasia speaks up as Jay takes another batch of toast. "Or we could just leave those two alone," Rae suggests with a cheeky grin. "I don't mind," Kao shrugs and continues with his food. "Yeah, the alpha is actually scaring me," Finian joins with sarcastic fear as X

"This is it," Xavion spreads his arms out to show the massive house hidden on an unregistered road behind the mountains. It's been a few days since the rogue appeared and between me and Xavion, we found a middle ground as to when to leave. "Woah," is all I manage to get out upon seeing the small thriving village, unknown to the whole world except for these very people who live in it. "It's nice, isn't it?" Royce suddenly speaks up, making me slightly jump at his appearance. "Sorry," he apologises upon seeing my reaction and Xavion pulls me to his side before I can respond. "They've already prepared an extra room for you," Xavion clutches my waist as he leads me to the biggest cabin. I wave to the bystanders when we pass them on the dirt road. He takes me to the second floor of the cabin and down the hall to the left. "Here, make yourself at home," he gestures to the inside of the room and I must say, it's quite big. "Oh, wow. Is this where I'm staying?" I think out loud, not e

"Ah!" I exclaim in surprise as a werewolf toddler jumps onto my back while I'm sitting on the floor. "Jackson, wait!" I panic as he climbs over my shoulder and prepares himself to launch onto my lap. I try to gently catch him as he continues moving over my shoulder. We both plummet to the carpeted floor and I make sure Jackson falls onto me instead of the floor. I sigh in relief when I look down and notice Jackson laying on my stomach while giggling. "Jackson!" Maggie scolds the young boy from across the room, making him jump up while still in my embrace. He runs off without a thought and I'm left on the floor with my wind knocked out of me. Another face pops up above me, her long hair tickling my face. The 6-year-old-looking girl offers me a smile and I try to genuinely smile back, but I'm sure the pain is preventing me from doing so. She waves at me before running off and I groan while pulling myself into a sitting position and notice that Maggie isn't around anymore. Pro

"Can we talk now?" I ask Xavion, the wooden beams on the ceiling filling me with immense boredom. "Mhm," he nods but doesn't move from his position by my side. "Xavion," I warn him with a stronger tone, hoping it gets through to him. It does. "I know, I know. I'm sorry," he almost jumps up at the sudden urge to comfort me, my voice having more of an effect on him than I thought. He caresses my cheeks with his large hands and the roughness of his hands with the gentleness of his touch throws me off guard for a moment but I regain my composure. I lean into his touch to let him know I'm not going to throw a fit and he seems to relax a bit at my calmness. "I understand you are protective of me, but you have to talk to me so I can understand you better. I can't feel your feelings, unlike you," I softly advise him, remembering I'm human in a pack full of werewolves. I don't let the reminder discourage me because I don't want Xavion to go through another moping session. "I was scared.
