Young Alpha’s curvy heartbroken Luna

Her new life

4 months later

*Saige*

I scratch at my arm, as I think back to that day. The scar from the burn is still itchy at times. I was lucky, a young police officer entering our house was thinking quickly on his feet and grabbed a blanket, throwing it on me, choking the fire before it could do too much damage. But I do have some scarring on the left arm and the ribs on the left side.

After I was released from hospital I packed up and moved down to Austin, Texas with Enya, leaving New York behind for good. I do never want to see Kieran again, even if I probably have to when our case goes to court. I have of course filed for divorce.

Enya also doesn't want to see her father either and says that she is scared of him. Turns out she was the one who called the police and probably saved my life. I have her seeing a therapist with expertise in kids two times a week, helping her deal with everything.

“Did you make a new work schedule ?” Gus asks me, as I walk up to the bar.

I nod. “It’s on the desk in the office”.

“Great … Thanks sweetheart”. He starts drying off glasses with a dishwasher towel and putting them up on the rack. “You really should hand those out yourself, this is your place now, they should know”.

“I like to keep that to myself just a little longer”. I say in a low tone. “I know it’s weird, but please humour me”.

Truth is I instantly fell in love with Gus’s place, an odd and wonderful place that is a mix of a diner and a saloon called ‘The wolf’s den’. He feels he is getting too old as he recently turned seventy, so I bought it. But he is still working here part time, and so far we are keeping it secret, as I want to get to know the place and employees just being another waitress and not the owner.

I am a bit surprised how fast I have gotten used to this new life, I mean I was with Kiaran for thirteen years, so I expected it to take time to get used to being alone, to feel some kinda empty longing, not for him but for our time together and such, but being single seems to fit me.

“As you prefer”. He gives me a smile, then mumbles. “Those New Yorkers are damn weird, buying the saloon and not wanting anyone to know''.

I just smile to myself, I know he doesn’t mean it badly, it’s just his way of thinking out loud. Actually I really like him, he has so many stories to tell.

One thing I am already sure of, that I will love it here and we will build our life together, just me and Enya. I am done with men, at least romantically.

“So everything we need has been ordered ?” I ask Nick, my best friend. We have been doing inventory and I have asked him to order what the pack needs.

“Yup, every single thing”. He nods.

I am planning to make him my beta and right hand when I become fully Alpha, as he is not only a great friend but also easy to work with, and efficient.

Right now my father is letting me take over more and more, allowing me to get used to the responsibilities of caring for the pack. At twenty-five I am still young and I am happy that I have a possibility to ease into this instead of being thrown head first.

Basically all I feel that I need now is to find my special someone, my mate.

“Thanks Nick”. I tell him. “Is there anything else I need to be aware of ?”

“Tala has been asking for you”. He grins and winks at me. “I think she likes you”.

My wolf Remus is instantly there. ‘That b***h only likes herself and our future title … no thanks’.

‘Hey we do not call women that’. I scold him. ‘Also I think I am the one who gets to decide who we date’.

He makes a weird sound, like a cat coughing up a fur ball. ‘If you do that I am bailing … not sure how but I will”.

I look at Nick. “She just wants to be Luna, she doesn’t care for me … also she isn’t …”.

“Your mate”. He finishes for me. “I know, and I know you really hope to find your true mate … but …”.

“I will need a Luna”. I say on a half groan. “But I still have time to find her”.

My wolf agrees. ‘We need the right Luna, not just any b***h in heat'.

‘Language Remus, language’. I remind him.

I turn my attention back to Nick. “I think I will go for a run, burn some energy”.

“Do you want me to come ?” He asks.

Shaking my head lightly I walk towards the door. “No, but thanks for the offer, me and Remus need some time alone, he is slightly frustrated”.

“You know what would help ?” He grins at me.

‘Tell him we are not a w***e’. My wolf huffs.

I roll my eyes at both of them. “Actually he doesn’t want that”.

“I didn’t say he wants it, only that it would help with his frustrations … and yours”. He shakes his head lightly.

“See you”. I head out the door, not wanting to discuss it further.

I am not sure why people find it so weird that I want to wait for my mate. I mean a lot of women save themselves for their mate, so why is it weird just because I am a man ?

After pulling off my clothes I let Remus out and soon we are sprinting through the forest, enjoying the cool evening air and being alone for a bit.
