No One's Luna

Chapter 1

Five Days Earlier

My name is Elenor Charlotte Miner, but most people just call me Ellie. I am seventeen years old, a senior in high school and I am a werewolf. No, I don’t go all crazed when the full moon comes out. We are pretty typical except for our healing abilities and strength. We can, however, shift into wolves. I live in northern Ohio with my pack. We are the Seneca-Cayuga Pack, most of our ancestors were Native Americans. You wouldn't know it by looking at me though.

I am five foot six with golden blonde hair that goes to the bottom of my breast and emerald green eyes. I have legs for days and a killer ass if I do say so myself. My breasts aren’t that shabby either. They are full C cups, and if I actually showed them off I would probably get some stares. I don’t show any of my body off though, therefore no stares.

My father, Adam, is the Alpha of our pack's top warrior, so I have always trained as hard as the men and boys of the pack, causing the guys to always see me as one of them instead of girlfriend material. The girls do train; most of them do so on different days and with another trainer.

My mother, Scarlett, is the Luna’s best friend, and the most beautiful she-wolf I have ever seen. She stands at five foot eight with waist-length blonde hair and sky blue eyes. She always pushes me to put makeup on, wear dresses, or do my hair or I will end up turning into a boy. She thinks she’s funny.

Growing up as a wolf in a pack of almost four hundred has been an incredible experience. Everyone is family and we would do anything for each other. You can only mind link your immediate family once you get your wolf. The higher-ranking wolves like the Alpha and Beta can also mind link each other though.

Our Alpha's name is Lawrence and he's known for being honest and just. He's like everyone's favorite uncle but will quickly turn into your father if you are out of line. We all respect him and no one has ever challenged his position.

Our Luna is Amara. Being my mom's best friend we see each other frequently and she is always kind. They have never made anyone in our pack feel like they were less because of ranks. We are a lucky pack to have them.

My best friend is Luke, he is the son of our Beta, George. He’s six foot one, has jet black hair and the most beautiful grey-blue eyes. The girls go crazy for him, but to me, he’s just Luke. Sure we’ve fooled around occasionally since middle school, but it’s never gone further and was never sober. Since he’s the Beta’s son that means he is the next Beta when Colin takes over as Alpha. He is also Colin’s best guy friend.

UGHHH, speaking of which. Colin. He’s gorgeous. He is just shy of six foot with light ash brown hair that always looks like it’s been bleached by the sun. The most intense hazel eyes you could orgasm from just by staring too long, and he always keeps his facial hair at just a scruff. I have often day dreamed about playing with that scruff. Anyway, he’s the captain of the football team, obviously. He has warrior training on top of football practices, so he’s built like a brick wall and has a decent amount of tattoos making him that much more of a wet dream. This is who the Moon Goddess chose for my mate.

I turned seventeen last week and found out. Walking into Luke and Colin’s room for homework help, I felt the mate pull immediately. My heart sank. What a cruel joke by the Moon Goddess. Sure, he’s the quintessential high school jock, and I drool every time I see him, but he’s going to end up laughing when he finds out we are mates this Friday on his birthday. I know it’s not from my looks, but I have always been the “girl next door” or “one of the boys” for as long as I can remember and it’s hard for the guys to look past that.

Plus he’s with Victoria and treats her like she’s already his Luna. They have been together since freshman year and have assumed they would be mates with how in love they are. Hell, everyone thought that. It doesn’t matter anyway, he is going to reject me. I know it. My heart won’t be able to take it. Maybe I’ll end up rejecting him first.

“Um, do I not get a say in this matter? You know he’s my mate too, right?!” An unfamiliar voice speaks up in my head.

“OMG!!! Are you my wolf?! What is your name!! I have been waiting to meet you! What do you look like?!?” I laugh at myself for how I may look to other people right now.

As a werewolf I have a wolf who I can talk to once I turn of age. Since I was six years old, I have been dreaming of turning seventeen so that I could meet my wolf and learn her name.

“Yes, I am your wolf! I have been here your whole life but once you became seventeen, I had to figure out how to communicate with you. It will be a learning process for both of us.” She talks to me like a best friend that I have always had, just never truly knew.

" Oh my goddess! I can't tell you how happy I am right now. Please, tell me your name!” I am practically jumping up and down from excitement and I am suddenly so glad that I am alone in my room.

“Sorry Ellie, my name is Leia. You will get to see what I look like once you shift into me for the first time. Can we please get back to your idea of rejecting our mate?” Her voice becomes stern and I am sure she is not happy with what I was thinking earlier.

“Your name is so beautiful, Leia! It is nice to meet you, and it was honestly just a thought. I have no intention of actually doing that or ever talking to him again after his birthday this weekend.”

“Ok, well let’s just wait for his birthday this Friday and figure it out then. I need to rest now.”

I roll my eyes and sense Leia smiling at me in return. We are going to get along perfectly.
