The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 18

I wake up to the sound of screaming and chanting outside my window and I immediately get up and pull apart the blinds to see what is going on.

As I look out the window I see a small circle of teenagers crowded around 2 boys attempting to throw punches at each other.

"Shit," I say and scramble quickly to pull on the nearest outfit I could find.

This wakes Xavier up and he lifts his head up from the pillow to look at me sleepily.

"What's wrong?" He mumbles.

"Some pack members are fighting, don't worry I'll deal with it," I assure him.

He mumbles something incoherent and his head hits the pillow again and he tries to fall back to sleep but grimaces as the sharp brightness of the sunlight hits his face.

I rush down the stairs and out the door and sprint over to the crowd.

"What are you doing? Everyone get back to your houses, it's almost time for breakfast!" I shout worriedly, not knowing if someone was hurt.

'Are our Luna instincts already kicking in do you think?' Eartha asks.

'Maybe,' I say, too worried about the group of teenagers to think about it.

Instantly, everyone turns their head to look at me, unaware of the fact i'm the future Luna, they are startled and scramble away to get ready for breakfast.

I walk over to the 2 boys left who were fighting.

"You can't be doing stuff like this, the younger pack members are looking up to you, they admire you and will copy what you do," I say calmly.

They just nod and mumble sorry and run off to get their breakfast.

I feel a soft stare on the back of my head and I turn to see Xavier, with one arm leaning on the window, looking at me happily and motioning for me to come back to bed.

I giggle and shake my head and immaturely sit down on the grass, giving him a humorous laugh.

He rolls his eyes playfully at me and mouths 'watch out' and disappears from the window.

I sigh and lie back, feeling the glow of the sunlight warm up my skin. I let the warmth cover my body as I lie outstretched on the grass.

In the very back of my mind I hear the faint laughter of Eartha.

'What are you up to?' I question.

'Maybe you should ask our mate that,' she says, leaving me wondering what the hell is going on.

I'm no longer left in the dark when I feel strong arms hoist me up into the air and twirl me around swiftly.

I screech in fright and open my eyes only to see Xavier's chest.

I look up and stare at him only to be met with him already staring right at me, smiling like a maniac.

"How would you like to finally meet everyone, so everyone knows who their Luna-to-be is," he smiles excitedly.

I grin and nod my head softly, still unsure if it was a good idea, but he seems so happy I don't want to ruin his mood.

We walk into the large hall, hand in hand, where everyone is choosing what they want to have for breakfast and almost immediately everyone's heads snap towards us, besides the young wolves who are overly excited about their meal.

Everyone instantly bows their heads slightly but continues to stare at me, as if I'm an escaped zoo animal.

I squirm slightly, not liking having a spotlight essentially right above my head.
