Shy, Scared, and Weak. I'm the Alpha's Mate.

Crescent Moon Pack Dinner

In front of a see-through cabinet were three girls. They were talking and giggling amongst themselves, and I wouldn't have interrupted them if the whisk wasn't right behind them. I went to tap one of them on the shoulder to ask if they could get the whisk for me, but I soon realized that the girl had been the one who challenged me yesterday.

I took a hesitant step back and gulped. She was very strong, and I had hardly won the fight. If she didn't make herself vulnerable by plunging at me every time, I would have lost.

"Do you want something?" She rudely asked, when she noticed how I had been staring at them for nearly five minutes. The two other girls looked at me with big eyes, they seemed to be shocked to see me, but this girl seemed rather annoyed with my presence.

"Ummm....well...you see...." My heart was beating faster, why can't I just spit it out and be done with it? They thought I was a weird leader, and they could never respect me unless Damien was right next to me and interpreted what I said; or rather what I didn't say. Plus just his sent was intimidating; imagine seeing him.

"See? I told you she doesn't talk" The girl sneered, she must have been upset that I beat her yesterday and I wasn't even that strong. I could hardly speak for goodness sake!

"Chloe! Don't say that! Remember what the Alpha said?" One of the girls warned, her chestnut brown hair was constantly getting in her face and she kept on swiping it away. "What can we do for you Luna?"

I completely forgot what I was going to say...

I just looked at her with big eyes, clutching the wooden spoon in my hands. Chloe's lips pursed "Whatever it is I bet she can do it herself"

I'm right here! Don't talk about me like I'm not here!! Gladys growled, fury hot on her tongue whereas I was fearing for my life. If I got Chloe mad enough then she would hurt me.

I looked around to avoid making eye contact. Because we were situated behind a wall by the kitchen, not of the other she-wolves came to switch the topic from me to themselves. Chloe was taller than me and she had placed her hands on her hips, waiting for my response.

If I could just remember what I had come for!

I continued to frantically look around, lamp, chair, painting, walls....

I then looked between the girls and laid my eyes on the whisk in the clear cabinet. I raised my hand and pointed right at it.

"You wanted this?" The third girl reached in and got the whisk to hand it to me.

I nodded and smiled, "Thanks" I muttered before I dashed away from them and gave Lana the two utensils.

The women had all left the kitchen. They had cooked and cleaned up already so they had no reason to stay, but mainly they all left because the men had finished training. So the ones who had mates went to see them, and even the unmated girls liked to see the males with their shirts off.

I smiled, remembering how Ruby would drag me out there when she was a teenager and I was still young enough to just listen to her with no reason to do so. I still thought that boys smelt bad and touched bugs all the time, but she was in the stage of ogling over them and dreaming of her mate. Many of these females were in that stage as well.

The batter was getting thick...

When the females ran off, I took the time to make my own dish, surrounded with solitude and the comforting silence that made me breath easier. I pushed with all my might, just to make the spoon move partially in a circle.
