13- Thea
Chassy
After becoming a Luna, I started to train hard beside my studies. I didn’t want to disappoint my pack, so I had to show them that they were right in putting their trust in me. “Why don’t you rest?” I heard Sims ask. I was in my mini shop, doing my project in woodwork. I never thought that I would enjoy it, not even the auto mechanic class.
“I need to finish and submit this on time,” I replied.
“School, training, and Luna duties Are you sure that you’re OK?” He asked. I stopped working and looked at him, smiling.
“Look at me,” I said. “Do I look like I’m not?” I asked and he didn’t reply. “Yes, it was hard. But Daddy Jay’s, yours, and Allie’s dad’s-everyone in the pack keeps me going. I do feel tired; I don’t deny that. But knowing that there are people, especially our little mutts, who believe in me, I know that I can do this.” I added.
“Make sure to rest when you have to,” he said after he sighed. He knew he couldn’t stop me from doing whatever I wanted to do, so he had no choice but to support me just like others do. “Your dad is going to stay here for the night tomorrow, he wants to see you shift,” he said after a little while then I looked at him worriedly. “Why?” he asked. “Don’t tell me; you didn’t believe him when he said that you’re going to have your Lycan.”
“It’s hard to believe that I am; after all, I didn’t shift when I turned 18,” I replied,
“Believe in him, because I saw how sure he was when he told us about you. He is your father; even after not seeing you from the very beginning, he still recognizes you.” I know that. And I want to hold on to that truth, but I couldn’t help but worry. What if I only get disappointed? I wanted to ask him that, but I knew that he would only get mad at me for my negative thoughts.
He sighed and said, “You’re going to shift. I guess you have never stumbled upon the books about the Greer. About your family,” he said, which made me look at him curiously. “I guess you are not. Every pack must have a book about you. And in that book, everything that your father had said was true. Though losing his mate’s power when she gets pregnant with a female Lycan is not there, I still believe your father on that part. Many packs or clans will never put everything as vital as that information in a book.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“I know, but-”
“No more buts. If you didn’t want to believe your father because you only met him, then believe in yourself. You must have felt differently now that you’re going to be 19 tomorrow.” he said, and come to think of it, I do feel a little lighter, and I just thought that it was because of too much work that I had been doing after Luna’s ceremony. “It’s impossible you didn’t notice anything unusual about yourself because we all see a different you,” he added. I smiled and said,
“Thank you. You and the others, especially Daddy Jay, have been my support ever since I came here.” He approached me and then hugged me. I looked up at him, and I was shocked when he kissed me. Sims is a very funny and nice guy; if not for what I feel about Xander, I would have liked him freely. Without thinking, I kissed him back.
We were both catching our breaths when we stopped and looked at each other. There was hesitation on his face, but a little later, we started kissing again. He carried me and brought me to a wall nearby before he pinned me there. I liked the feeling, and I was so into him when he stopped.
“I- I’m sorry,” he said,
“What?” I asked. He was still carrying me, and it hurt that he was saying sorry. For what? For kissing me?”
“Don’t get me wrong. I like it. I like kissing you,” he said, and that helped calm me. “But I know that you had your mate as well. I saw how my dad and mom loved each other, as well as the other mated couples. Even your dad. He still cares for and loves your mom after all these years. I didn’t want to pull you into this feeling when I knew that I was going to be with my mate once I found her. You are too precious for me to put you in that kind of situation, and I will never forgive myself when that happens.”
“I understand.” I replied, “Thank you for thinking about me. I have a fault, too. I should have stopped you; I should not have responded. I know I already have a mate. Even though I had already rejected him, he had not accepted it yet.”
“Chas, I promise you that I am going to be by your side. I am going to protect you with my life because I want to be your friend that you can count on.”
“Then we’re best friends now?” I asked. He smiled and nodded. After that, he helped me finish the woodwork that I was doing and went to the pack house. He reminded me to rest, just like my father wanted. He said that I would need more strength the next day since I was going to shift. If Dad believes it, I will too. This is not just for me, but for the Silver Moon Pack as well. I had to shift, I had to be strong, and I had to defeat the vampire king along with my friends and pack members.
The next morning, I opened my eyes and smiled. It’s my birthday, and I’m 19. Compared to last year, I am very happy to welcome another year of my existence. Unlike before, I considered it just another normal day. But today is different. I have people who will celebrate it with me and hope to do my best.
I got up from my bed and went to the bathroom when I heard it. ‘Hihihi…’ I stopped and looked around to see if there was someone in my room other than me. ‘Who are you looking for?’ the voice said, and then I smiled when I realized that it was in my head.
‘You there?’ I asked, and then there was silence.
‘Hi, “C”. I’m Thea.’ The voice said, so my name ended up being just “C.”.
