Mother of the Moon - Chapter 132 - Sexual Tension?
Lunaya.
“What’s his damage” Alyse asked quietly as we watched Cole storm off.
“No idea” I replied. Something is very wrong with that boy, and I think it runs much deeper than he is letting on.
“What is he talking about?” Romeá demanded of me.
“As he said, it’s nothing” I threw back at her.
“I don’t believe you” she grumbled, edging closer,
“I assure you, everything will be revealed in due time. Until then you will just have to trust me” I said staring at the small she-wolf blankly. Her lips curled back and a small quiet growl came from her, but she didn’t argue further. After a minute, the man I assumed to be Gunner’s father, whispered in Romeá’s ear. She nodded her head and he walked off again.
“Where is Beta Elaine?” a voice called from behind us. I turned around to see Analah with a group of Weres following close behind her. The large man at her side was quite obviously her father. I thought she held a resemblance to her mother, but seeing her next him, she clearly shares more of a likeness to him. They were both tall and well built. She had the eyes of her mother, but everything else was from her father. The shape of her mouth to the tip of her nose.
“She is with the Goddess” I answered and eyed the Alpha at her side.
“Lunaya, Cleo, this is my father Alpha Ambrose of Lua Chei” she said, gesturing to her father. The man stepped forward and offered his hand. I took it and he pulled me forward for Sevasmo. Not something an Alpha male usually initiates with a she-wolf.
“My daughter has told me all about you and your travel companions, and I must say, it is an honour to have housed members of the elusive Luna Eclipse on my pack land” he spoke without letting go of my arm.
“Thank you Alpha, you have a very beautiful home and family” I smiled at him kindly.
“Alpha Ambrose” Romeá said stepping forward.
“Luna-mother. You grow more lovely each day’ he laughed and bowed slightly.
“Oh stop it, don’t let my Mate hear you talk like that, he may get jealous” she giggled and waved her hand. Was she flirting with him?
“Thank you for the invitation, what a party it turned out to be huh?” he huffed and looked around at the disastrous area.
“Ah yes, thank you for your assistance. Your strength and self-control are definitely something to marvel at” she said fondly. She is flirting with him. There must be some kind of history between these two. They talked and giggled and flirted back and forth for a few minutes, and as much as I wanted to walk away, I still don’t know where we are meant to be staying.
“Excuse me” I butted in,
“Yes dear?” Romeá cooed overly sweetly,
“I wonder if you had any room left for us to bunk down?”
“Oh, of course we do. You can take one of the larger tents, come I'll show you”. She turned to Alpha Ambrose and gently touched his shoulder,
“It’s good to see you” she smiled and turned to walk away. I eyed the long look on Alpha Ambrose’s face as he watched her walk off. I took Alyse’s hand a followed after Romeá, Venus and Cleo following along.
***Did you catch all that sexual tension?***
***I did, there’s definitely a history there***
***I wonder what happened between them***
***Don't intrude, it’s not our business***
***I know, but aren’t you curious?***
***Of course, but she is the mother of my daughters Mate. I need to keep the peace***
***Ugh, fine, I'll leave it alone***
***Thank you***
I flashed with Alyse as we walked to the edge of the village, stopping in front of a large tent.
“This one is empty, the six of you will fit just fine” Romeá said as she stepped to the side and let us through the tent door. It was very large with eight cots in two lines across the floor, the roof was high, allowing us to stand up without interference.
“There is still a lot of food remaining, so if you are hungry or thirsty head over to the first cabin on the right, right in front of the pack house”
“Thank you for your hospitality” I smiled down at her before she turned at left again.
“Well it’s no suite at Trout Point, but it’ll do” Alyse laughed and plopped down on a cot.
“I’m pooped” she yawned and curled onto her side.
“Have a rest love” I said softly and pulled a blanket up over her shoulder.
“You said that Elaine and Phoebe are with the Goddess?” Venus asked as she sat down on her own cot.
“Yes, they are guarding the small hut that her Mate has taken them to. Two of us will go and relieve them in just over two hours” I replied,
“I suppose you will be next on watch” she said with a small chuckle.
“Yes” I confirmed, not finding the humour in it.
“Well, in that case I’m going to relax for a bit. Come find me when it’s time to change out, I’ll be taking the next watch with you” Venus said smoothly as she ruffled through her bag.
“I’m going for a walk” Cleo grunted and left without a response.

I still had an hour to kill before Elaine would let me take over watch. Alyse was asleep and Venus was laying down in the tent reading a book. After sitting anxiously for an hour, I couldn’t take it any longer, I decided to go for a walk and have a look at the place my daughter calls home. The clearing that held the party was now tidied. A few she-wolves were taking down the last of the decorations. I walked through the middle of the village, small houses lined the area, with more lined behind those. All in all, this was a very beautiful pack. But beauty is only skin deep, there could be dark secrets buried here. And I’ll be damned if I don’t find out everything about this place before I even think about leaving her here. As I reached the tree line, I was about to turn around when a lone figure in the dark caught my attention. It was the Were, Cole, sitting alone on the trunk of a fallen tree. I hesitated for a moment, but something inside me pushed me forward.
I walked over to where he sat and perched myself on the trunk beside him. He didn’t greet me or acknowledge my arrival. I sat quietly and watched him from the corner of my eye. The lights from the clearing shone on his face, highlighting the sharp angles of his jaw and nose. But still, the shadows made the dips of his face accentuate the shallow and gloominess. Though he is a handsome man, his eyes hold so much darkness. After a while, once I realised he was not going to speak first, I broke the silence.
“You didn’t tell them” I spoke, looking back to the village.
“Tell them what?” he answered, sounding uninterested.
“About who I said I was here for”
“It’s not my story to tell” he said leaning back and crossing his arms over his chest.
“You know it’s not a story though, I can tell that you believe me” I said, now looking at him.
“Yeh, and?”
“And, why didn’t you tell them?”
“Because I don’t care” he said harshly. I watched the corner of his mouth turn up and his eyebrows furrow together. He’s angry. But about what?
“You are the Beta, aren’t you?”
“Yes”
“So, isn’t it your duty to report to the Alpha and Luna?”
“Not about this”
“How is this different? I don’t understand”
“Then drop it” he snapped.
We sat quietly again for a while. His emotions were all over the place. He was stricken with grief and sadness, and yet it mixed deeply with anger and fury.
“The she-wolf with the freckles, you two are close?” he asked, not looking at me.
“Alyse, yes, she is my Mate” I confirmed. He spun his head and gazed at me for a moment.
“Where is your male?”
“There is no male. It’s just us, me and her”
“Alone? Just two females?” he asked again. He didn’t sound appalled or angry, he sounded confused or, more so, interested.
“Yes, a lesbian couple. No male”.
He turned away again and looked back to the village. After a few minutes of silence, of letting him take in the news of my Mating, I studied his face carefully. He was very interested in my Mating. But I don’t think it’s just normal horny boy interest. He is invested.
