Text: Alpha, something is wrong with Luna. She seems upset. She won’t talk to me about it.

I wasn’t sure what was wrong. I couldn’t mind link so far away from me and her phone hadn’t arrived

yet.

Let’s go to mate. What if she’s still injured – Atlas whined and we got in the car and drove.

Text: Alpha! Please tell me you’re close. The Luna just started crying and won’t talk. I don’t know what

to do.*

Text: Omw

I practically ran the whole way to the store. My heart almost broke when I heard her sobs from outside

the changing rooms.

‘She wouldn’t stop!’ she complained. Weve gone to 15 different stores and we spent so much money.

I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop her. / kepta tally, I can return a lot of it later. Please don’t be mad.’

“How much do you think you spent today’ I was realizing why she was upset.

It was $6,783. I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad.’

I tried. I really tried not to laugh but it bubbled out of me, making me clutch my stomach. I had tears in

my eyes when I was done laughing and Celeste was just looking at me with a slight smile but confusion

still evident in her eyes. Her stomach growled and I laughed as I watched the beautiful blush that rose

to her cheeks.

I had her wrap her arm around mine after I dismissed everyone. I took her to the food court. Although I

wanted to take her to a fancy

restaurant, I remembered that she mentioned she never had take out food. Hled her to a fast food

Chinese place then settled us in a

booth. The little noises she was making while eating the food were almost too much for me. I could feel

my c**k twitch each time a little moan came out of her mouth. I didn’t trust myself to touch her right

now. I just did my best to eat and not look creepy while I stared at

her.

“You’re barely eating,” she said. I took a bite of my food and grinned at her.

“I’m sorry I had a breakdown. I thought you would be mad at how much money we were spending. I

guess I didn’t realize that money wasn’t important to you.” She frowned.

“But?” I asked

“We’ve never had control over our lives, food, money, clothes. We’ve worked for nothing and gotten

even less than that. I will take this gift, but I need to pull my weight. I need work,” she said with a

stubborn look on her face.

“You are the Luna -“

“Not for two months. I can’t not do anything for two months. I don’t want to be a burden. If I am to be

Luna, I need to be productive. ” Her determination surprised me, but Atlas was just puffing his chest

proudly.

“What did you have in mind?” I said, holding her hand. She looked surprised that I agreed so quickly.

“I want to talk about what my duties are as Luna.” She looked down as if embarrassed about what she

had to say next. I squeezed

her hand encouragingly. “I want a tutor. I learned basic math and reading skills before my parents died,

but we weren’t allowed to go to

school once we got to the Blood Moon Pack. I don’t want to be a useless Luna. I would like to have the

schooling I need to be a competent

Luna.” My heart exploded with love. I pulled her to me and slammed my lips against her. She stiffened

in surprise, but soon after returned

it. This little ball of fire was my world and I would do everything in my power to show her this. I

eventually stopped the kiss, needing to

breathe. I placed my forehead against hers, she was breathing fast and I could smell her arousal

through the muddled smells of the food

court that now paled against hers. I brushed my lips against hers. She giggled, “Is that a yes?”

I laughed, “That was a hell yes. I will make the call and have someone teach you. Do you think Maya

will want the same?” She smiled.

“I think so. We always shared the few books we could find discarded.”

“You like to read?” I asked, wanting to know more about her life even though I knew some of it would

make want to go rip the

Alpha’s head off. She smiled and nodded as she ate more Chinese.

i frowned. “But you don’t need to cook.”

“But I like to. You liked my food, didn’t you?” She pouted.

“Yes it was some of the best food I’ve ever had but love…” She pouted and I sighed. “Once a week?” I

tried to compromise,

“Three” she said.

“Two? Please? You’re going to be so busy once you start your tutoring and learning the Luna duties.”

She thought about it and then smiled and stuck her hand out to shake on it. I took her hand and pulled

her forward, slamming her

against my chest with a squeak. I gave her another kiss and she giggled.

“Let’s go home my little Tuli,” I said, getting up. She scrunched her nose adorably but allowed me to

putt her up. I wrapped my arm around her waist as we headed out of the mall.

“What does Tuli mean?” She asked.

I smirked and looked down at her. “It is the Finnish word for Fire.”
