1272 Words
POV: Conrad Ah. Home sweet home. My name is Conrad River Alistair. I'm the Alpha of Moon Dust pack. I'm 33 years old. I have a twin brother named Conner Rain Alistair. We share the alpha title. We're fraternal twins. Conner and I had an agreement on our Luna. We would only ever have one Luna. Whoever found their fated first then that would be our official Luna. The other person's mate would be like a sub Luna. Kind of like how some pack have a sub Alpha along with a sub pack. Anyway neither one of us ever found her so we ended up choosing one. We've been alphas of the pack since we were 14. Our parents were killed by hunters. Vivian is our Luna. Conner and I always did tend to share things anyway so we both mated her. You can think what you want. I don't really care. "Hey welcome back bro." Conner greets me. "Hey how did things go?" I ask him. Vivian and I had to go visit another pack to renew a treaty. "Things went good." Conner answers. "And the little pain?" I ask. The pain is Lydia. My step daughter. That is a very complicated issue. We only let her be here because she's Vivian's daughter. If it weren't for that we would never have taken a human into the pack. Lydia doesn't belong here. I don't like humans. My parents were killed by humans. We keep Lydia very busy so she doesn't get any ideas. I didn't want her learning anything that she could use against us. Thats the last thing we need is another hunter in this world. Lydia has expressed just how much she hates us. Whats to stop her from trying if she got the chance? Vivian doesn't seem to be fond of her but she said that if we wanted her as our Luna than we would take Lydia too. Vivian has never stood up for Lydia. At least I've never seen her. "Burden behaved for the most part. I mean her and Tiffany got into but do you really want to eat Tiffany's idea of food. As much as I don't want to side with Lydia on this one. I kind of have to." Conner answers me. Oh hell no! "No. I'm not eating kale breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stick to the norm." I say. "Thats what I thought. Lydia even said as much." Yeah I'm sure miss mouth did. That girl has got one hell of an attitude. She trys to tame it down in front of us but I see it. Sometimes it's almost like I can feel it. Weird. "How did she do with the extra task?" I ask. I hope she didn't screw anything up. "Lydia wouldn't screw anything up. She's a very hard worker." I think that might be the first time I've heard Vivian stand up for Lydia. Makes me wonder why all of sudden but I don't question. Vivian is a fantastic Luna. I just wish she would give us a child but come to find out she can't. I guess thats why she adopted Lydia. "Everything went fine. Lydia behaved. She did a good job. We even go to play dad and daughter. Beta Landon came over." I snort. We all get a kick out of that. Even Lydia laughs. I know I make her out to be a bad kid and I hate her and all that. I don't hate her. I just don't like her being here. It's dangerous for a pack to have a human in it. Especially if their not someone's mate. Lydia is actually a good kid. There are time where we have good conversations and we laugh. It's not all bad all the time. "I bet she had her fun with that one. Did you ever find out where she got the black eye from?" I ask. I know we have slashed and spanked Lydia. We are not innocent of abusing her. I know this. However we keep it out from prying eyes. The pack also knows not to lay a hand on her. If they have a problem with her they are to come to us. I know that doesn't happen all the time. Most of the time those are so minor they don't even make a mark. That black eye did. Lydia was punched in the face and I want to know who did it. "No. She would come up with some excuse or try and change the subject. Whatever happened she doesn't want to talk about." He answers. It's not like Lydia to not go ahead and tell us after we've asked her. Especially as consistently as we have and ordering her. I get the feeling it was something worse than what we've ever done to her. "Let's not push it. Just keep an eye out at her behavior. It might indicate something." I say. I go put my bags up in my room. I smell Lydia in here. She walks out the bathroom. She must be cleaning in here today. "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know you would be back now." She say looking like deer in headlights. "I didn't get a bad report on you so thats good." I tell her. "Your not mad about Tiffany?" She questions. "Yes and no. I don't like that you got in a fight but I'm not about to be stuck eating kale if I side with her. What's for lunch today?" I ask her. "Oh um tacos and Mac and cheese." She answers. "For dinner?" "Grilled chicken and chicken pot pie." Well that should make Tiffany happy. "Sounds good. And dessert?" I must admit Lydia is one hell of a cook. I'm happy to be back for her cooking. "Tiramisu or brookies." Ohh. I swear she wants me fat. "There you go fattening me up again." "Well we do have to get you ready for the winter now don't we." I roll my eye haha very funny. "I'm a wolf not a bear. I don't hibernate." I bet she wished I did. "I wish I did." She says. I'm curious. "Would you rather be a werewolf than a human?" I ask. I was curious. She fidgety around with my question. I wonder if she thinks? "If you think that someone can get turned into a werewolf your wrong. Thats a myth." I inform her. The look of relief that comes on her face. She did think that. I probably freaked her out. "No. I'm fine with being just me. Just because you hate what I am doesn't mean that I'm going to just wish it all away. It will all be over soon anyway." She says what the hell is that suppose to mean. She covers her mouth. She said something she didn't want to say. At least not to me. I don't even understand what she is trying to say. Be over soon. What is she up to? "I'll just go now. I have other chores to do. Am I still doing task for Alpha Conner today?" She asks. "No. Your mother is back. Everything goes back to how they were. You do your normal chores assignment." She nods her head and runs along. That's girl is something else. I take a deep breath of air. Her scent is still in the room. I've noticed her scent has been changing. It makes my wolf agitated. River has been growling a lot when I yell at Lydia. It's not at her but at me. I have no idea whats going on here.
