Chapter 6 Become Luna's Beta

• Alayah’s p.o.v.
• I make a list of everything I want to move from Grandma’s cottage to my room, I will place my desk in here as I need to study from time to time.
• “You can do that in Grandma’s cottage, it will prevent others from interrupting you.” Topaz suggests and I nod my head at her as I think about that option, by the time I have written down everything I want to move here Anton walks in to take me to the Alpha floor.
• “Marc and Crystal just arrived, Marc asked me to bring you along. He seems to think we will scare of his Mate.” Anton says and I can understand Marc’s concern, my Cousin can be an ass from time to time.
• Like me Anton doesn’t have a filter, the difference is that I know when to keep my mouth shut and that is something Anton is incapable of unless he is in a meeting.
• With family and friends around him Anton tends to say whatever pops into his head and I have been embarrassed by him more times than I care to remember.
• He has known me for little over five years and yet he seems to know all of my secrets, not that I have any but it feels like it.
• He always makes remarks that make me turn every color red there is and then to make matters worse he compliments me on the nice shade of red on my cheeks.
• Gamma John has been training me ever since I first met my Father’s family and he is waiting for the day I hand Anton’s ass on a platter, something Topaz is looking forward to.
• Grandfather asked me to warn the entire Pack when that happens, because he wants to place a bet on how long it will take me to put Anton on his ass and I know that almost every Pack-member is waiting for that day to announce the winner of their bet.
• “Alayah, you made it.” I hear Marc exclaim and I chuckle as he pulls a blond female with him towards me.
• “Marc, you asked me to come to meet your Mate and as your friend I believe it is my right to explain a few things about you to your Mate.” I respond as I give him a quick hug, I look at Crystal as her eyes flow from Marc to myself and I tell her not to worry.
• “I am glad he found his Mate and that it isn’t me, I doubt he would survive living with me for more than twenty four hours.” I say teasingly and she laugh at the pout on Marc’s face.
• “Alayah, you better watch your mouth. Marc will be your Alpha one day.” Anton says next to me before he introduces himself to Crystal.
• “And what is he going to do?” I ask him. “At the first sign of trouble I will tell him he can do the paperwork himself.” Anton looks at me as I hear Alpha Randell laughing his ass off and I have trouble keeping a straight face as Anton keeps looking at me, the horror written all over his face at the prospect of doing all that paperwork himself.
• “Why is he looking as if he is going to drop dead any second?” Crystal asks as she leans towards me and I tell her the offer I made alpha Randell.
• “Anton accepted the offer without consulting Marc, but Luna Vicky is convinced Marc will be relieved to know he doesn’t have to handle all that paperwork.” I tell her and Crystal starts laughing her ass off, she grabs hold of my arm to keep herself from falling down.
• I guide her to a couch as I tell her that I moved to the Beta floor and that I will always be close by to help with whatever she needs, I can feel her relaxing next to me.
• I tell her about my childhood, about finding out about my Father’s family and when I tell her I am the rightful heir to the Beta position but declined it, she asks me to become her Beta.
• “As the Luna of a Pack this size I think it is wise if I have a leadership of my own.” She states.
• Alpha Randell tells us that he doesn’t know if it is possible for a Luna to have her own leadership, I decide to link Grandma to ask her if she knows anything about it.
• “Grandma, could you come to the Alpha floor? Crystal asked me to become her Beta, but Alpha Randell doesn’t know if that is possible.” I ask her through the mind-link and she tells me she will be there in ten minutes. “Alpha Randell, Grandma will be here in ten minutes. If anyone can answer that question it will be Grandma.” I say.
• Crystal asks me why Grandma would know something like that and when I explain that she used to be a teacher she understands me.
• Grandma had always been able to answer every question I had and in almost all cases she had a story to go with it, something I always enjoyed listening to. She is a great story teller and she would always have an amazing bedtime story for me, each of them teaching me a valuable lesson.
• As I got older the stories would change, not all of them with a happy ending. I heard about former Kings and Alphas that messed up, I heard about males and females trying to gain power and status and I heard about the way the Mate-bond worked centuries ago.
• I thought our Goddess had abandoned us, but Grandma told me that our Goddess had decided to go back to the old way of finding a Mate. A way that had worked for centuries, before she had decided to interfere with the Mate-bond and causing more males and females to get rejected.
• Grandma is convinced the Goddess learned from her mistake and after centuries of watching her children rejecting the one that was best suited for them, she turned back to a way she knew was better for all of us.
• According to Grandma it took a long time before our Wolves and Lycans were able to get used to this way again, but nowadays our Wolves and Lycans can feel a connection immediately and from there the Mate-bond grows.
• Topaz and I are still waiting for the day to feel that connection with someone and we will wait for that day until we take our last breath if necessary, we won’t settle for a chosen Mate.
