Worlds collide when Elliot Lockwood, an Omega werewolf, moves into a different pack at 17. Born of warrior parents, he was raised to believe his breed should have no bearing in his life. Determined to offer their son a better future, the Lockwoods d...
After the first period ended, as we walked through the school corridors, all the students kept staring at us surprised. It's like I could hear them thinking: 'why these teenage mated boys haven't completed the bond yet?'
I didn't think it at first, but once Simon said it made perfect sense. I can see it as they stare at us shocked. I know we're teenagers, people. But have some empathy!
I was in a relationship til the day I got mated and so was Felix. That's not taking into account he has never even kissed a boy before mated. I mean, he kissed me on the day of the heat but that doesn't count. It could've been anyone, as it's been said.
But the stares continued after the second period. The third period.
At wrestling practice, all the boys were pretending they're not shocked to see me there still. They know I can't be a warrior anymore. But I'm not quitting the team 5 months away from graduation.
"Coach, I know my circumstances have changed but I'm not quitting the team just because I can't be a warrior anymore. Plus, I'm the best one you got." - I argued before he even asked me.
All the boys winced at my words. They're a tad jealous, but I'm not saying anything new to them.
"I know. Relax, Lockwood. No one is forcing you to quit the team. This is still a high school and not warrior camp." - He snickered in a good mood.
Warrior camp is when all the applicants for a warrior position are gathered and seized up. It happens during summer every year. Warrior spots are limited and not all students are guaranteed positions. There's even a waiting list if a job becomes available, but don't hold your breath.
I haven't trained in 2 weeks, so I do need a workout. It's sad that I can't be a warrior like I always dreamed, but I've already cried about it. It is what it is.
I can't be paired against my mate, so I'll never fight Felix again. But I wouldn't want to anyway. I have nothing left to prove to anyone. But I still won every fight against all the boys who I sparred with today. I've missed this!
Defeating overgrown boys is my happy place. And I needed this for what it's about to happen.

"Luna, can I ask you something?" - Andersen questioned me once we're inside the locker room after practice. I glance at him, dreading his question already.
"I'm not Luna. If you're gonna ask me why I haven't completed the bond yet, don't." - I replied in a dry tone, making Simon and especially Felix wide-eyed at me.
Marcus laughed at this.
"No, that's not what I wanted to ask you. No one has the right to question you about the completion of the bond. It's a matter for you and Alpha alone." - He replied, making me gasp at his level of maturity. All the boys did.
