The Hunted Luna

Chapter 5 - Shopping

SOLANA

Friday

I looked down at my arms as the plane descended into Oslo. "Are you alright?" Ama said softly, squeezing my knee. I look up at her and nod with a small smile before studying my arms again. There isn't a single scratch on them.

"What other powers should I expect?" I ask Nyx directly. I can feel her smile in response.

"Some we will only get access to if needed, but we are able to control fire to a far larger degree than any other members of the Blood Moon Pack," she responds. "But we will need to do a ritual on the next blood moon for us to be at our full strength. All of the book's relating to this were kept in a secret place at our old Pack. We need to go back there to get them."

I chew on my lip thoughtfully. "The tunnels under the Pack House?"

"Got it in one," Nyx replies with a smile. I brush my fingers over my arms, running across where my wounds should have been.

"When are we going to Scotland?" I ask Ama, dropping my head onto her shoulder.

"We'll go next week, sweetheart", she replies. "The AAM starts on Wednesday, so we can go either Sunday and Monday, or Saturday and Sunday next week."

"Sunday and Monday, I think. Sooner we get answers, the better." Ama nods in response as the plane lands. Essie, Anthony, Neil, Blair and Erik are all coming into Oslo for various reasons, which is why the Jet was the mode of transport today. We all disembark, making small talk as we get into the company cars, Erik and Anthony in the one heading to the offices, the rest of us in the one heading to the main shopping centre.

I sink back into the smooth white leather seats as the gang chat around me animatedly. "You can't come shopping with us, Ama, you need to be surprised on the night," Essie says, looking at her.

"I'm actually going to be doing my own shopping," Ama says with a smirk.

"Your own shopping?" I ask, looking up at her and c*****g my eyebrow.

"You'll love it, trust me," she whispers in my ear. I rearrange my legs, my core heating up as her eyes burn into mine. A faint flush spreads up my face as the car pulls up to the kerb. We get out of the car, Essie and Blair linking with me and pulling me towards the luxury brand department store Steen and Strom as Ama hangs back. "I'll meet you back here in two hours," she says with a smile.

"Two hours will not be enough time!" Essie says with a laugh. "We'll meet you at the diner in two and a half hours, that's the best I can promise."

"Save me!" I mouth at Ama as I get dragged into the department store, as she laughs at our retreating figures. "Where is she going? Do you two know anything about this?" Blair smirks, her eyes dancing as she shrugs her shoulders. "Ugh, fine," I say, pulling my arms free. "Take me where we need to go."

Essie leads us straight to Chanel, to the shoe department. I walk through the marble counter tops, with rows of beautiful shoes and bags from the floor to the ceiling. I gravitate towards an ivory strappy pair, which would go with my Luna Ceremony dress perfectly. "Guys, what do you think about these?" They rush over, cooing at my discovery.

"These are perfect!" Blair remarks. "They were made to go with your dress tomorrow night!"

"Will it be finished tonight?" I ask her, picking them up and taking them to a shop assistant. "Couod I try these on in a size 4 please?" The shop assistant nods and rushes out to the back as I start to look through the bags.

"It should be, yes. Mum will be arriving tonight as well," Blair says with a smile as she grabs a black velvet mini flap bag, flipping it open and looking at the inside.

"I can't remember the last time I saw her! Is she excited to see you?"

"She's excited to see you Sol, she hasn't seen you since you were four."

"It has been a while, hasn't it," I say softly. The shop assistant comes over and hands me the shoes. "Thank you," I say to her with a smile as I sit down and try them on. I stand up, tottering slightly. I still haven't gotten walking in heels completely down, which was annoying, but I intended to practice all night tonight. Taking steps forward, looking ever so slightly like Bambi, I managed to make it across the shop floor without breaking my ankle. "Do you guys honestly think heels are a good idea for tomorrow? It's not like I an remotely graceful in them."

"They look amazing," Neil says, "And you should be able to master walking in them by tomorrow."

"Hmm", I reply. not entirely convinced. I grab a pair of Chanel ivory ballet pumps as well. "Could I also have these in a size 4?" I ask the shop assistant, who nods and disappears in the back again, as I head back to the bags. "Are you getting anything Essie?"

"Always!" She says with a laugh, carrying two Chanel bags and a pair of black strappy heels. The shop assistant reappears with the my shoes and I thank her, heading towards the tills. "These please," I say with a smile, putting my shoes and an ivory Chanel shoulder bag in the classic style on the counter. As she rings it all up, I shudder at the price before whipping out my black centurion credit card, courtesy of Ama. I would never get used to having this much money. Blair and Essie ring up their purchases, with Neil buying a pair of brogues as well, before we head towards the lingerie section.

We head to the Agent Provocateur section, as I hone in on the Lucky lingerie, a see through set which also help smooth and tuck where needed. I also pick out the Hinda set, as well as the Milena and Zadi. As I peruse through the sets, the Cristalina set catches my eye. The bra itself is grey and lacy, but the straps that go to a collar around the neck are what draw me in. Ama and I have yet to try bondage, to be honest we have only been together for a couple of weeks and we are still exploring each other without the need for toys or rope, but I get the feeling she will like the look of this on me. I pick up the matching thong and full briefs, as well as the Christi Teddy in burgundy, an Amelia short slip in Ivory, the Gloria and Daniela kimono, and the Tanya dressing gown. Essie and Blair grab a few similar items, as Neil stands by, throwing items at us which he thinks would suit us. I head over to the changing rooms, flagging down an assistant. "Hey, do you think it would be possible to measure me for a bra?" I ask, smiling at her.

"Sure, no problem! Head into the changing room, I'll be right there." I walk through, hanging up my items on a hook. Since arriving at the Lunar Pack I have definitely filled out more. Training isn't slimming me down, just toning me up, and my breasts seem to have settled since I've been eating properly. My current bras are slightly too small, and I definitely need to buy a whole new lingerie wardrobe.

There's a knock on the door, before the assistant speaks up. "Can I come in?"

"Yes, of course," I reply, pulling off my top and standing in my slightly too small bra.

"Perfect," she says as she opens the door. "Ah, yes, you definitely need a larger size don't you," she says with a smile. "Please take your bra off and put your arms in the air for me, this shouldn't take long..."

"So you are a 30 D," she finishes, smiling at me. Would you like me to change the bras for you into the size you need?"

"No, that's fine, I'm sure I can find them on the shop floor," I say with a smile, pulling my bra and top on. I head out of the changing rooms, grabbing the bras in the sizes I actually need, as well as a varied collection of the Paige sets, both bras and knickers, before heading to the tills and taking out my card. "Please don't tell me the damage," I say to the shop assistant behind the tills, as she looks on at my collection with wide eyes.

"Sure,' she says with a smile, as she rings it through. I clock the total as I pay with my Centurion card, smiling through the horror at paying out just under 36000KR.

"Thanks again," I say with a smile, as Essie and Blair also pay for their selections. Thankfully, the Calvin Klein lounge lingerie I have is mainly bralettes and knickers, which have a lot more give in them, meaning I can still fit in them comfortably. "Are we finally done guys?"

Essie looks at her watch. "Nu-huh, we still have just over half an hour, and you still need to replenish some of the items you have outgrown, now you're eating properly."

"Oh Goddess," I mutter under my breath, trailing behind as Essie and Blair lead the way to the clothes department.

When we finally head over to the diner, we are all carrying at least 6 bags each from Steen and Strom. Ama is waiting in a booth already for us, a collection of matte black bags beside her leg, cellotaped closed so you can't see what's in them.

"Manage to get everything you needed?" I ask her.

Ama looks at me with a smirk. "Yes, I did."

"Care to share?"

"You'll find out soon enough," she says with a smile.

"Hmm..." I say, c*****g my eyebrow at her. Ama laughs, pulling me in for a kiss.

"You'll love it," she whispers against my mouth. "Trust me." She pulls away as I slide in next to her, the rest of the gang sliding in around us. "I ordered for everyone, hope you don't mind. I have literally ordered everything off the menu, so you'll find something you like." The server comes by dropping off coca colas and beers around the table, as Anthony and Erik walk into the diner. "Just in time guys! grab a seat," she says, smiling up at them. They sit down as the servers start bringing out plates of food. I look around at the table, a smile pulling on my lips. I haven't had a family in so long, and for the first time in a long time, I have felt part of a family again. I squeeze Ama's thigh, before digging in. After my Luna Ceremony tomorrow, I will be linked to the Pack. I can't remember what being linked to a Pack even feels like, being able to mind link whoever I need to, being connected to something larger than myself. I look up at Ama again, as she chats animatedly with our friends.

As long as she is by my side, I'll be able to handle anything. I join in the conversation as I grab a handful of chips, laughing along with the conversation. Just over 24 hours to my Luna Ceremony, and I genuinely cannot wait for it to happen.
