Oh my moon goddess.. Oh my moon goddess.. Oh my moon goddess.. Do I have to go on stage? Calm down. It's going to be alright. No it's not, Alec! I started pacing back and forth. They'll love you. I'm sure they'll be happy for you and Drake. I place my hand over my heart. Maybe you are right.. As if I'd say that!

I took a deep breath in attempts to calm my heart down but in vain. Drake's voice boomed, "Settle down everyone. I have important news." The crowd went dead silent. "I have found my mate." Once the words left his mouth, the crowd went in an uproar of cheers and you could here tons of whistling and "congratulations, alpha"s.ย  I smiled; they're so happy for him. "I know you are all excited as was I." The crowd would not settle down.

In fact it only got louder as he said, "Ayden Henderson, our Luna, come out please." My heart leaped out of my chest at my cue. I opened the door hesitantly and headed out onto the stage. I blushed as Drake winked at me and tugged me close.

"Here is your Luna!" The crowd went wild as he lifted me up so everyone could see me past the large podium. Is this the Lion King or something? I'm not freakin Simba! My eyes were wide as I looked at the pack. So many people! I blushed while the pack still cheered loudly. I immediately got shy and tugged on Drake's sleeve. He chuckled heavenly and brought me closer to his side. Some muttered awes, which made me turn a crimson red as the crowd only settled down a little. I looked up at Drake like a lost puppy and Drake gave me a reassuring smile, which gained me some confidence.

Drake spoke one again and said, "This is not the only reason I've gathered you here today." The crowd settled down and the voices stopped as they listened to their alpha. "I know many of you have concerns. Recently, my mate was captured by the rogues." You could hear multiple gasps and murmurs among the pack. "I have noticed that this has become a problem among many. This is no out of the ordinary in our pack."

He slammed his hands onto the podium. "I have my suspicions. I'm almost one hundred percent sure that we have traitor among us. Our pack has never failed to defend before." The pack members looked at each other accusingly as Drake's voice was laced with venom. "If anyone has any clue as to who, report to me immediately. This matter is to only get worse. As many of you know I was first to witness a rogue invade the pack boundaries last night. Let alone invade my chamber and attack my mate." Many emotions went onto their faces, including shock, anger, and fear.

"You rogues dare think you can stand up to my pack?!? Attack MY MATE?!?" He howled. "Bring out the rogue!" The burly man from last night was brought out by Drake's pack soldiers. "This is what happens when you stand up to our pack." Drake shifted into his wolf form growling as the burly man showed no fear willingly becoming a sacrifice for his ways.

I winced as I watched Drake bite his neck and tear his head clean off. The crowd was cheering. But I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the guy, even if he was trying to capture me and do horrible things.. Can't help it. Drake shifted back to his human form and the put on some clothes. I could see some of the girls drool, making me growl immediately coming to his side. He tilted his head in confusion but nonetheless picked me up and held me close. I could feel the anger still radiating off his chest.

Drake growled as he returned to the podium. "I also have heard some of you have been questioning my loyalty." His voice cracked as his canines came out. "I am disappointed in the lot of you! Have I not proven to be trustworthy over the years that I have been alpha?" I squeezed his hand in reassurance but this only seem to calm him down a little. "I am working just as hard to keep my mate and pack safe. If you care to question me, then speak up!" He screamed out for everyone to hear. A lot of the pack members winced as they heard the pain in his voice unable to help feel a strong connection with their alpha. No one spoke up but I could hear many murmur, "Sorry, alpha", under the breaths.

I smiled. They really do hold their alpha close to their hearts. Drake huffed. "Does anyone have any questions?" He asked more calmly. A male pack member raised his hand. Drake nodded, allowing him to speak. "I don't mean to be rude but... Your mate is Ayden Henderson?" Drake nodded proudly sitting me on the podium and slipping his arm around my waist. This is so embarrassing. "Does that mean he's uh...a guy?" Drake held me closer. "Yes. Your Luna. My mate. Is a male."

Many conflicting voices filled our ears. "We won't tolerate a gay as our alpha!" One shouted, "Our Luna is weak! I smell him! He's an omega!" Another pack member's voice was laced in disgust and screamed, "That's our Luna and Alpha you are talking about! Have you no shame?!?" Another screamed, "Yeah who cares what our Luna's sex is! They're happy!"

Drake growled stomping his foot loudly and so strongly that it went through the floor. "YOU SHALL ACCEPT YOUR LUNA!" Many of the pack members shook terrified at the anger in his voice. Hell even I did. "OTHERWISE YOU CAN GET THE HELL OUT! I WILL NOT ALLOW NARROW MINDED WEREWOLVES IN OUR PACK! UNLESS YOU HAVE A REAL REASON, THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU!" With his eyes pitch black, he flipped off the pack. Yes, flipped off. With the middle finger up. Many screamed in agreement cheering with pride. "Get out of my sight!" His voice boomed. The few that complained grumbled and left the crowd in complete anger and frustration.

I held my hand over my mouth but couldn't help but let out a loud laugh. The pack members were shocked at my sudden outburst of laughter but they ended up joining in as many cackles left their mouths. This caused Damion to smile, showing me his pearly white teeth. "I love it when you laugh." Damion commented with love, causing me to blush. The werewolves started whistling. "Get him, Damion!" He shook his head with incredible happiness trying to hide his smile with his acceptance and support from the pack.

He cleared his voice. "On a serious note, I'm sure many of you are wondering why you can't tell that Ayden is your Luna." The pack settled down as the words left his mouth. "This is because Ayden has already went into heat. I was unable to be there as he was with the rogues, when this happened..." The pack went into shock. I looked down. I remember that week.. It was the most painful of all.

~Flash Back~
I whimpered as I felt a sharp pain within my stomach. What's going on with me..? My body was heating up. I've never had a fever this bad... I clawed at the cell floor whimpering. It hurts! And then it hit me.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" My body felt like it was being lit on fire. I'm in heat. No no no I'm scared. I'm scared. Please, Drake, Damion. I don't want to do this alone. I'm scared!!! "HELP ME! HELP!" I screamed and clawed at my body.

"I've been waiting for this moment!!!" The man looked at me sadistically as he entered my cell. The man whose been torturing me.. He.. No please moon goddess this can't be happening... I'm so scared. What did I do to deserve this? I whimpered as my temperature escalated. "Please.. Someone.. Help me.." I started sobbing. My tears burning my cheeks.

"I'll help!" The sadistic man said as he grabbed some silver chains. "What're you doing- AHHHHH!!!" I screamed as he wrapped silver chains around my neck, causing me to be unable to breathe. He lifted me up by neck chocking me. The silver unbearable against my already steaming skin. It was like the silver was cutting through my neck like butter. I coughed up blood as my hands grasped onto the chains in attempts to pull myself up. I was desperate to keep my head from being cut clean off.

But I was too weak.. The heat was getting to me. All you could hear was my screams. My body shivering in want for my alpha that isn't here and would never come. So desperate just to live with the look of evil in front of my face, taunting me. Yet all I could think about was my mate. I wondered about what he was doing at that moment. Was he crying? Was he angry? Was he freaking out? Was his body yearning for mine as mine was for his? Where was he? I couldn't get him out of my head. Why isn't he coming to save me?
~End of Flashback~

I shivered in remembrance, placing my hand on my neck. That's when he decided to keep that silver chain on my neck for the rest of my days. So I would have to remember that awful night.

Damion's body stiffened with a look of hurt was on his face. His back was faced to the crowd. Is that really what you went through, when you were captured? Did you really doubt I wouldn't come to save you? Were you really going through that much pain? He mined linked me in such sorrow. I looked at him shocked then sniffled angrily. Get out of my head! I screamed into his mind. Damion flinched but did as was told. I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. I-I just didn't want y-you to see that... I looked down in shame.

There is nothing you should be ashamed to show me. You were very strong. You fought like no other against your demons. I'm proud of you, Ayden. I will always be proud of you. He placed my hand on my cheek. I will also always be here for you. I will always fight for you. Don't you forget that. I sniffled. Y-Yes alpha. I mind linked. It's Damion to you. He kissed my forehead then let me hide into his chest, before turning back to the patient and thoughtful crowd.

"In order for Ayden to become Luna by law, he must join our pack. Normally this would be obtained through the mating process. However he has already gone into heat. All of you know this, but for clarification sake, heat may never come upon Ayden again. Therefore he will go through the normal process of being accepted to the pack." The crowd gasped. "All of you are dismissed."

Damion carried me off stage and held me close. But I was only half listening. I was still stuck in that torturing room.. Alone. "I have something to show you." Damion said as he held me to his chest. I nodded with my head in the clouds. He took me to a window.

"Look." He said. I sighed and turned my head. I looked all the little homes and the pack members smiling and children playing as the meeting was dispersed. "What do you see?" I shrugged. "I don't know. A bunch of families and children and homes and stuff." Damion stroked my head. "They're not families. They are a family. A family that you are a part of."

He took me outside and all the children that were with there moms and dads stopped in their tracks and immediately came rushing to our side. "Hello, Luna!" A child waved, and Damion smiled. "Luna, why're you crying?" A child put their soft hands on my cheeks. "Don't cry." The child kissed my cheeks. "Pain pain go away!" He lifted up his hands and did a dance. "Mama says that gets rid of all pain." He smiled, putting his face in mine. "Do you feel better Luna?" I looked at him in awe then nodded. "Yay! My name is Joshua by the way." I patted his head and smiled. "Thank you Joshua."

The boy blushed hard and ran to his friends. "The Luna touched me!" The other children gasped. "No way?!? That's so cool!" I could hear their lil conversations that made me giggle. Damion took me through the town. I felt blessed as everyone greeted me. My heart warmed at their actions and my hands were full with their gifts. After we had our fill, he took me back to the pack house. I smiled as he took some of the things I carried into his arms and held my hand. "Family." I muttered. "Family." He said.
