The Destroyed Luna

Chapter 4: Andrew

This is a real mess. I left my pack to come to a birthday party for a teenage girl who is coming of age. She is rumored to be the daughter of the late Alpha Gunner and a sister-in-law to Alpha Will.

I am trying to find a way for us to become more friendly with each other, but things have been difficult. It seems my past relationships have spread through the whole world and my ex-girlfriend told everyone that I was abusive. Out of the two of us, she was the truly abusive one, not me.

When we got to the pack, the young lady in question was nowhere to be found. It turns out she ran away from home. No one knows where she went, what happened, and no one seems to be able to find her. Great. Now, there is a massive manhunt looking for her. She couldn’t have gotten that far, right? I mean, she only just shifted for the first time a few days ago.

Now, on top of all of this drama, I am receiving text messages from my gamma telling me that a lone wolf has wandered onto the territory and it is in need of help. They have been able to communicate with the wolf, but the human seems lost. We have been gone for nearly two weeks now and I was itching to get home to take care of what had been piling up since I left.

Fenrir… What are we doing with our lives?

We are being alphas. That is what we are supposed to do. You can’t stress over these things when you can’t control them.

I know. I just wish there was more I could do from here. I kind of wish Sasha or Heather were here.

Yuck…

You know they are both good lays.

Yeah, but they are still gross beyond comparison. You know they both want you to make one of them your Luna, right?

Well, if I can’t find my fated mate, then I will have to consider it. I can’t leave my people without an heir.

We are still young. You are only twenty-one years old. We have more than enough time to find our fated mate. Look at Alpha Will. He found his fated mate at twenty-four and now they are happily married with a set of twins and another set on the way.

Yeah, but I still want my mate now.

We will find her. I feel like she is closer to us now than she has ever been before.

I shake my head and look up at my Beta, Austin. He is staring at me with a look of concern and wonder written all over his face.

“What are you thinking about?”

I sigh again and shake my head. “Nothing. I just wish I knew who my fated mate was so I could have all of this taken care of.”

“All of what, taken care of?” He looks around the plane confused.

He was right. There wasn’t much I could take care of right now.

“I’m talking about when we get home. If I had my fated mate, then I wouldn’t have had to worry as much with us being gone for as long as we have been.”

Austin sighs and shakes his head. “You heard from Hunter and Amanda. They have everything under control. The lone wolf is fine. She is being taken care of right now. She has a warm place to sleep, good food, fresh water, and she can come and go from her bed as she pleases. There isn’t a whole lot you could have done that hasn’t already been done.”

I shake my head. “If I was there, I could have commanded the wolf to shift. That may have solved a lot of the issues that they are having right now.”

He scoffs. “No, the only way to solve the issues they are having right now is to get rid of Sasha, Heather, and Bryan. Those three are beyond annoying and really need to find a new home or something else to do.”

I smirk and shake my head. “Only Bryan needs to find a new home. The other two are just fine where they are.”

Austin looks at me like I have lost my entire mind. “You are only saying that because you get your d**k wet with those two. If you weren’t you would agree with me that they need to find new homes.”

I sigh and shake my head. “I don’t know. I just wish I could find her. Do you know what I mean?”

Austin sighs and nods his head. “I do. I have to say, I wished for my mate every day that I didn’t have her. Now I have her and I am terrified to lose her.”

Just as he says that, his mate, Tracey, walks in from the bathroom. Poor Tracey was born without a tongue, so she can’t speak. We have all learned sign language for her and none of us could be happier that we did. I smile as she walks straight over to Austin and sits right in his lap. He does a fake groan and pulls her closer to him.

“Well, hello there.” She sighs hello back to him and he chuckles down at her. He starts to nuzzle her and gives her small quick kisses to her cheeks.

He looks back up at me and smirks. “When you find her, she will have been worth the wait.”

I smile and nod my head. “You’re right. How much longer do we have before we land?”

Austin smirks and looks out the window. He looks down at his watch and sighs. “We have about forty-five minutes left before we land at the airport. Once we land and get everything unloaded, it is going to take us another thirty minutes or so to get home.”

I nod and lean back in my seat. I look up at the roof of the plane and sigh. “Alright. If it is going to take us that long, I might as well try to get a quick nap in while we are still in the air.”

Austin scoffs and shakes his head. “Don’t lie. I know that you just don’t want to watch Tracey and me cuddle.”

I sit up and smirk at him. He isn’t wrong, but I don’t want to tell him he is right.

“Alright, well, why don’t I run to the bathroom then? Would that be okay?”

Austin just shakes his head and smirks. “You don’t need my permission to go to the bathroom.”

I chuckle and just head straight to the bathroom. I take my time and try to avoid coming back out.

What really stopped me in my tracks was when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I still looked the same as I did when I took over the alphaship. I just feel so much older. My once bright and shining brown eyes were a little more dull and had heavy bags under them. My thick black hair was a little unkempt. I could really use a hair cut when I get home. I sigh as I notice just how pale my naturally tan skin looks.

Fenrir… What are we going to do?

Well, you really need to do some better self-care. Maybe go for a run or enjoy the sunshine more.

That is hard to do right now with it being winter.

I understand, but still. We could always read a good book for fun or something. Something other than banging sluts and getting drunk.

But, I like to bang sluts and get drunk.

YOU NEED TO STOP! It is going to make you so much worse if we don’t figure something else out.

Fine… I will cut things off with Sasha and Heather when we get home.

Do you promise?

I promise.

Even if they offer you something to try and keep the relationship going?

I promise I will end things with Heather and Sasha as soon as we get home no matter what happens between now and the next time I see them. I will end things with them even if they try to convince me not to.

Good… Now that we have that settled, what are we going to do about this lone wolf when we get home?

I suppose I will force her to shift and we will figure out what all has been going on.

Alright, I will be here when you need me.

Thank you.

I wash my hands and sigh. I still feel like I look like total dog s**t, but I know that I don’t look nearly as bad as what I am thinking. Once I leave the bathroom, I settle myself in and get ready for the landing in the next thirty or so minutes.
