“I’ll be back before that.” Sion grinned and leaned down to k!ss my forehead. He inhaled my scent once more before he lifted his gaze up to Denny’s. “Let’s go.” Andrea led me into the house as I turned my head to watch Sion leave. I should have gone with him, but l didn’t want it to look like I didn’t have faith in Sion. Not in front of another pack, regardless if l am close with them or not. Andrea glanced back and noticed the three strangers following us.

“So, who are they,” Andrea asked and I smiled.

“My beta, gamma, and personal protector.”

“Oh, you have your own officers?” Andrea asked, seeming to like the idea.

“Yes, Sion and I have an equal partnership. The alpha is not higher than the luna and we both get our own officers.” I watched as Andrea nodded her head intently.

“Smart. I like it. Do you mind if I bring this up to Den?”

She was asking me for permission? I smiled and shook my head, “No, I don’t mind at all.”

“How have you been, Clover?” Andrea asked as she led me up the stairs.

“That is actually a loaded question, but as far as things with Sion, it is great.” There was so much that happened to me that was too much to get into.

“That is great, Clover. I’m happy you found your someone.” Andrea nodded her head to the side.

“You are all welcome to choose any room you like. I think you will find each of them accommodating.” This was, at one point, my home, so I was very familiar with the setup. She stopped and looked back at the three people who stood there unmoving.

“We will be staying with our Luna until the Alpha returns,” Kai said, moving a bit closer to me.

“Very well then. I’ll have Hazel bring up some refreshments while we wait?” Andrea looked at me and I nodded my head in appreciation.

“Yes, that would be great” I answered, suddenly feeling the hunger burns.

“Luna, pink or salmon for the tablecloths?”

“I’d have to see them…” Andrea looked up at me. “Its for the luna ceremony. You want to come help me pick things out” She laughed seeing my face. “I’ll have the refreshments brought up.”

I’m not going to lie this new weird comradery with Andrea felt strange. However, I had to remember we were both Luna’s now. In the future, we would need to get along and have a relationship.

Andrea was doing her part as the Alpha’s partner. I needed to make sure I did the same. I couldn’t let myself be outshined by Andrea after all.

I walked to the end of the hall opening up the door. The bedroom suites had couches set off to the side with several flat screen televisions in the room. The rooms were made to accommodate visiting alphas and their officers. So naturally they had private meeting areas set up.

“Not bad,” Odell said as she plopped on the couch.

“Meh, it’s average.” Kai shrugged his shoulders unimpressed as him and Demetri sat on another couch.

“Well, this beats the mine floors,” I smirked and they all laughed in agreement. A quiet knock on the door was heard a moment before it opened.

“I’ve brought your refreshments.”

This was Hazel, the omega that worked in the packhouse. I knew her very well. She was always very quiet. She had dark brown hair with big brown doe eyes.

“Thank you, Hazel, please bring them in.” I noticed how she instantly looked at the ground to avoid eye contact with me.

“Yes, mam.” She carried the tray over to the table, gently setting it down. She straightened up and stood there quietly. It looked like she wanted to say something.

“You can speak freely.” I said and she instantly tensed up.

“I was just thinking, that was all.”

“What about?”

“Just… how much | can’t wait to find my mate.”

Her brown eyes met with mine for a second before she looked away again. “I sometimes wonder if I’ll ever find the one meant for me. Wouldn’t it be a Cinderella story if he ended up being an officer or even an alpha?! It’s just… you seem happy. You found happiness after… everything.”

“I’m sure there is someone out there for you. I used to have the same thoughts.” I said trying to reassure her.

“It is what I dream about every night. Finding someone who will change my world. Someone who will change my life from what it is now.”

Okay, that part was weird. She might be an omega, but they were not treated bad in the Sulfur pack. Yes, they usually took on serving roles, but they were never beaten like some cruel packs do.

“There is nothing wrong with your life now. Finding a mate is to help complete your soul not to change your status.” Her brown eyes flashed at me in a way that I didn’t like. I could read that look. She didn’t want to hear those words from someone who became a luna.

“Are you going to eat?” Odell asked as she shoved a tiny sandwich in her mouth. The whole thing.. in one bite. I smiled at my friend and then watched as Stilts suddenly appeared standing in the middle of the table. So, he did disappear and reappeared randomly. He began to stuff his face and honestly watching him eat made me nauseous.

“How long has it been? Almost fifteen minutes?, “l asked. I planned on keeping my word about going out after Sion. However, I suddenly heard the steps of his rushed footsteps coming closer. A minute later, the door swung open.

Sion’s eyes met with mine instantly. The sound of a pitcher crashing on the floor brought my attention to Hazel. She was staring at Sion with her mouth slightly parted. And then what she said next made the whole world stop.

“Mate.” She whispered out looking at Sion. My Sion. I looked back at him. His eyes were now looking at Hazel. At first, I felt like everything inside of me was collapsing. Then the sound of Sheena’s growl brought back solid ground. She was back and with me. And ready to fight for what was ours.
