LUNA

28

"What did they ask you in there?"

"Oh don't get me started on Elder Francis. He was insinuating that I'm not equipped to be a Luna." I snap while storming into the large bathroom and attempting to unzip the back of my dress. "As to even think I'm not capable. Do I not seem capable because I was quiet? Well they are far from wrong." I eventually give up on this whole dress thing as Bash comes up behind me and takes my zipper in his hand.

"I just cannot begin to put words to how rude that was." I slam my hands on the bathroom vanity as he finally unzips the long white dress before squeezing my waist. I keep my head down as I slouch over and I know he's trying to find the words necessary to calm me down.

"And I'm supposed to be okay with this later? Am I supposed to support him later and help this council?"

"Stop." He grips my waist tighter and pulls me back so I'm standing upright.

"You're a Luna and you're a lot stronger than they know. Let them find that out on their own. As for Francis he's a prick but he's the oldest of the elders and he's done this to all the other girls who have become Luna's recently. You also did much better than the previous girl did, she ran out crying because they insulted her on being too happy and eager." He explains and I turn around to face him.

"What about what the woman said? What do they want me for?"

"Geraldine. She saw something in you and I assume she wants you to be part of this council once your officially married to me and Luna of my pack. I'm assuming it's for business reasons or possibly for peace keeping. Although that would be amusing." He teases before pushing my hair from my face. "I love you, okay? What was said was a test and I think it's clear to say you've passed."

"And what about this gala tomorrow?" I ask while walking over to the closet and slipping the dress off of my body. "Do I just act pleasant and as if I wasn't bitched at by an old cranky wolf?" I ask while holding up the dress and motioning to the other dresses that are hung up.

"Also please take the suit off before I have an aneurysm." I run my hand through my hair and he laughs before coming over to me. "I love you." I whisper as I undo his tie. "I wanted to say that. Especially because I've been complaining about the meeting. I just don't want to sound unappreciative because you're very special to me and I'm very grateful for you."

"I heard what you said in there." He admits and I look up to meet his gaze in shock.

"What do you mean?"

"Wolf hearing."

"So what exactly did you hear?"

"I heard Francis questioning your ability. That's why I told you it was going to be okay when I walked back in. He had no right to say that to you and he will be hearing about that tomorrow when I see him again. You are more than capable and you stood up for yourself. I'm proud of you."

"I don't know anymore. I think I'm capable but I don't approve of the way this council handles business. It's unwarranted."

And I won't put up with it.

"You don't know how glad I am to see you." I whisper in Logans ear as I pull him into a hug. "I thought that I would lose my mind if I didn't have some comedic relief."

"Oh I'm not here for you. I'm here to possible meet my boo thing." He teases before walking over to where Bash is furiously pacing the floor while on the phone.

"You tell her that if she even for a second thinks I'm gonna let her run tests on Jenifer I'll have her taken away quicker than she can conjure up a spell."

"No I will not discuss this now mom. This is my time with Jenifer and when I get back I will discuss it with her. Tell everyone that I love them and that I will be back shortly." He hangs up and throws his phone on the bed before giving me a sad look.

"She wants to run some tests and some bloodwork with the witch. I told her I don't think now is the time."

"I think that you should run the tests." Logan adds his two cents and I nod in agreement. "It's better to run some tests then to wonder what is really going on." He points out and I shake my head at the look on my mates face.

"Don't even think of making this a topic of conversation right now. When we get home we will discuss this with the pack doctor and the witch. For now we can enjoy the gala and the wedding to come next week." I run my hand down Bash's chest and he stiffens at my touch.

"Don't get me started on this gala." Logan shakes his head. "I love how I won't be finding my mate for another gala in a row." He claps his hands together another time before leaning down to kiss me on the head.

"You're lucky you found this one." He points to Bash who isn't too happy with his betas affection to me.

"Hands to yourself chump." Sebastian wraps his arms around me and I roll my eyes. "And as for your mate, you will meet her. It just might be a little longer."

"I guess it'll be okay." He shrugs slightly before heading back towards the door. "I'll stop. See you at the grand ole ball."
