Sammy POV.
I woke up in bed alone, where did mama go? My wolf asks in a whining voice, we’re almost adults now, you can’t keep crying for her every time she leaves the room. I tell him to no use, he still wants Keira, we just played with her for few hours with her. It was fun to play with her, I really enjoyed playing with mama Keira, happy wolfie? I just called her mama, I’m driving myself crazy, I lift the blankets and move out of bed.
I felt something wrong right away, I knew there was something wrong, I was about to run away before she could see what’s wrong but she caught me before I even made it toward the door or bathroom door or anyway away from her.
“Another accident little one?” she asks having a hand around my waist, I tried to move away but she wouldn’t let me go.
“Nu… it was just an accident,” I say trying to get away from her but she wouldn’t again.
“let’s get you clean” she says taking me toward the bathroom, I was blushing red, she’s not gonna help me change is she! Thankfully she just turned the shower on for me, before giving me a push inside saying she’ll get me some clothes ready. I jumped in the shower, washing myself extremely quickly.
I jumped out of the bathroom and out toward the room, she was there still just busy getting dressed herself, she white clothes on, a flowy white dress, while she had a white shirt for me and jeans. We don’t wear white, well she has white for both of us meaning something isn’t correct.
“Why white?” I ask her after I had my jeans on.
“We’re attending a funeral, I need you to be on best behavior,” she says and I nod yes, she’s the alpha and I’m the Luna, I have to attend it with her.
After she got dressed and ready, she fixed my hair for me before taking my hand and walking us out, I always hated funerals, the alpha has to say few words in honor of the dead. But who died? I didn’t want to ask her, she looked sad, I didn’t want her to feel sad, I went and hugged her, she hugged me back her face going into my neck.
“My pretty baby,” she says her hands petting my back and kissing the top of my neck.
“Let’s go baby” she says, holding my hand and taking me toward the woods, we bury our dead, there’s a cemetery for every wolf pack, we’re heading toward it. Over there we saw the other pack member including Faith, the guy mama beat the other day cause of me, some from school. Everyone had something white on them, even the dead girl was wrapped in white.
I heard a ton of whispers, some talking about the girl who was killed by rogues, others, well most of them were whispering about me being Luna. I heard some talk about me not being marked yet, did I even accept her as mine, not many were smelling her on me even with how often she marks me, it’s not like when I’d accept her as mine.
I had the position of Luna even before our mating ceremony, these wolves really like to talk, I tried ignoring them but it was hard. Keira had no problem with them, her head was kept high, she stood next to the girl’s body and said few words of respect before nodding to the rest, she was buried in no time, it’s our traditions, taught to us by the moon goddess herself.
After that was over, Keira let out a long howl, followed by the rest, I was kinda shy to join in, but she squeezed my hand telling me I should do it. I took a deep breath and let out a howl with the rest, now that’s that over it was time to leave, we were moving back toward the house.
I still heard whispers, they were even worse now, Keira had enough with them, one person who said I’m not even a Luna what am I doing here. That got her so mad that she had the person pinned down on the floor in just a few seconds growling at him.
“He’s my mate, which makes him your Luna. Get used to it” she growled loudly to every one to hear.
She held my hand and walked us out, the whispers got louder, everyone was looking at us. I know I should accept her as my mate soon, she didn’t force me to anything, she hasn’t asked for anything, but I’m thinking, I should do it soon.
I was thinking about this the whole way home, if I accept her, we’ll share a bond, we’ll be mates, her wolf and mine would feel more at rest. I know from Victor that this wait is hurting her, it’s even hurting wolfie.
