The Unclaimed Human Luna
Chapter 84

El POV

She could see that Logan was more than ticked off after her grandma left. Not only was she staying put, was going to be doing so for a while, seemed she was going to be calling the Wandering Moon Pack her home for the foreseeable future. She’d also just asked Conners’ permission, not Logan’s, for her to let the council know where she was.

Conner stood “Father, we’ll take our leave.”

“Why bother telling me, apparently you’re in charge?” Logan snapped right at him.

“I am not. I also don’t think that El and I want to be in charge at this point. I also know you don’t believe I am ready for that either.”

“I don’t, your attitude and immaturity around El, showed me that,” Logan stated.

“Well, then we are all in agreement we’ll wait a few years, though I’ve yet to hear you apologise to El. I have also told you that if you don’t start treating El with respect, we’ll be moving back to Italy to let her complete her studies.”

“You can’t just threaten me with leaving every time you are unhappy, Conner. At some point I’ll tell you to go.”

“It’s not a threat, father, and I would be coming back, just take my unit and their Mates and be gone for four years, study what we all want to study, learn a new language and perhaps, you never know, make some new wolfen friends, as well. I will not be leaving El’s side, any more than you would Brittney, and like you, I want my Mate to be happy, so where she goes, I go. Surely you understand that.”

El sighed, they were at loggerheads because of her and her decision to study abroad. “Conner,” she touched his arm, “I want you to be happy as well. I also know you want to take over and be the Alpha here. I think you would be good at it as well. I’m happy to stay here and study here, we don’t need to go to Italy.” She told him.

“It was your dream.”

“It was, but I love you. Petal loves Atlas, we’re actually happy here now that you’re not ignoring us and pushing us away. I’ve made some friends, and others aren’t so bad here. I really like the gypsy wolves, a bit like hippies.” She smiled up at him.

Her aunt Juliana had been right. Things inside this pack were different for her now, though she knew it was just because she was Conner’s Mate and the future of the pack, she was more comfortable here, Sage was quite funny and seemed to just like everyone. Cameron’s Mate Brianna was a warrior class wolf, though now she was also considered a Delta b***d by extension or something. Didn’t quite understand that, but she had lots of education to be done on packs and how they run. “I have a lot to learn and while we wait for the next semester to start I can spend it learning about your ways.”

He smiled right down at her “Are you certain?” he asked.

El nodded. “Yes, I also have a lot to learn about packs and running one, so you’re right. I don’t want to be in charge of something I have no idea about.”

He nodded and looked at his father. “See you are still in charge, I also don’t think Brittney is ready to train El herself, not when she is also still learning the way things are done, but the two of them could learn together about Luna’s duties. This I think would also give them quality time together, father. I think Brittney would be happy with this. Don’t you?”

“She would.” His father admitted, and then sighed “Eliza, I am sorry for my bringing you here, the way I did, the way I treated you, separated you from your mother even before she was officially my Mate. I should have known better.” He sighed a little “Hopefully you and I can form a better relationship. Perhaps you’ll allow yourself to be initiated into the pack soon. If you are going to stay, I would like that. Also, make it easier to talk to you if I need to. For everyone here.”

“I’m going to stay.” El nodded “I do want for Conner and Atlas to be as happy as Petal and I. Here is where he belongs. I know he would give it up for me if I asked him to.” She smiled up at Conner, “I don’t want him to do that. I’ll let you know what Petal wants about the initiation into the pack when she wakes up.”

“Thought she was a bit quiet.” Conner smiled.

El shook her head, that was Atlas’s fault, he’d had his way with her for many hours last night, thankfully Conner had left her to sleep in while he’d gone off to training. It seemed he understood she would be tired. The pair of them were crazy hungry in the bedroom, never seemed to get enough of her or Petal.

The problem was, neither could she. It was a nice little circle of pleasure and fun, but it could just be exhausting for her afterwards. It didn’t really seem to bother Conner or Atlas. They were always up for more. She’d thought they would settle down, but they had some serious needs when in bed and their needs just fed her needs, it seemed. She was turned on because he was turned on.

They left his father’s office, and she sighed a little, it was nice to have that apology, “Conner, can we just go for a walk out in the woods or something.”

“Cordi isn’t arriving until tomorrow. So why don’t we just hang out, go get you out of these pants, like I want.” He grinned down at her. “Into some swimwear and we can spend the day on the lake. You’ve yet to use all that gear you bought yourself before you left.”

She smiled up at him, “Oh, I forgot about that.” And she had “Can we walk to the lake?” she asked.

“Yes, it will be nice to be out in the woods with you,” he chuckled softly as they headed up stairs.

“No funny business.” She murmured, every time they’d been out in the woods, he’d seduced her.

“Would I do that to you?” he laughed now.

El shook her head. “Yes you would.”

“Yes, I would.” He acknowledged “Though, is Petal alright? She’s not normally asleep like now.”

“She’s tired, is all, from Atlas last night. Sleeping soundly all curled up.”

“Alright you’d tell us if something was wrong with her, yes?”

“Likely be freaked out if something was wrong with her, so yes you would know, because I wouldn’t know what to do about it.”

“Good.”

They both changed into swimwear and headed off to the lake, a nice stroll, just the two of them, he’d mind-linked to his whole unit and they were all going to hang out together on the water. She was glad for the stroll down there, it was nice out here under the shade of the trees. Though summer was now over, it was still warm enough for them. She didn’t really feel the cold so much as she used to.

“So, El, why did you buy all that lake equipment if you were just going to leave?” Conner asked as they walked along.

“To look like I was fitting in or trying to. I knew Logan was tracking my spending. I also thought he was an a*****e so a little pay back, spend a butt a*s load of his money before disappearing. Thought it would serve him right, for treating me the way he did.”

Conner chuckled softly now “I did that more than once myself over the years.”

“Did you get punished?”

“Only once, scolded good and proper and was put on border patrol for a solid month, the night shift and I had to attend school during the day. I handled it, made out like it was a breeze to do, didn’t complain once. That annoyed him more than anything.” He chuckled “But it was the most exhausting month of my life to date.”

“So that’s all I have to do to get you to sleep.” She chuckled softly.

“Likely wouldn’t help you, I’d still want you, just likely only once before crashing out.” He smirked right down at her.

They arrived at the lake and his entire unit were all there along with all their Mate’s and there were jet-skis, sailboards and kayaks sitting around as well, all ready to go. She also noted that the boys were setting up a small marque and there was food on a nearby picnic table. Seems they wouldn’t need to go back to the pack for anything at all today.

It was really nice just the eight of them hanging out all day and having fun, found herself tossed in the water more than once, doubled with Conner on his jet ski to race his unit around the lake. He took some photos of the two of them together, and his entire unit laughed at him when he wanted more than just one or two. She’d asked what was so funny.

They’d told her he’d not liked seeing her and Marlo on his jet ski that first time she’d gone off and hung out with Marlo. She’d looked right at him questioningly. “What can I say, I was jealous.”

“Didn’t even want me then,” She stated.

“I did, I was just in denial. Every time I saw you with Marlo, Atlas and I wanted to rip you away from him. It was very confusing for me.”

She raced him on her jet ski at one point as well, and they all sat and ate a barbeque lunch, sailboarded in the afternoon and then just lazed around and talked. She liked his unit. They were all friendly and so were their Mate’s.

It was a lovely afternoon and she actually knew she had made friends. The girls, Emily, her cousin, Sage and Brianna all laughed with her and hung out with her, talked about all sorts of things with her, while the boys were off cooking. They were all really nice and she liked them.

She fell asleep at one point and only knew because Conner woke her up to head back, she’d just yawn and stretched herself out. Murmured “Can’t we just spend the night here?”

Seen him smile right down at her “If you like.”

Got the impression she’d get no sleep at all out in the woods. It was his favourite place to be, “I’ll get up,” she murmured, and she had, to his chuckle. Though the walk back was tiring for her and the third time she stopped, he picked her up and said “You’re really tired. Are you feeling alright?”

“Mm, Petal is still asleep. I think it’s affecting me a little.”

He’d carried her without issue, and she’d smiled as she’d leaned into him “My man is big and strong.”

“Got stamina in spades,” he chuckled right back, and she hit him, which only made him laugh even more.

“I want to sleep tonight.”

“I think you need it. Seems Atlas and I are exhausting you and Petal.”

She didn’t argue with him on that, but was thankful for the way he just carried her, didn’t seem to have any problems with it at all. Carried her right into the packhouse and up to their suite, put her right in their bed and looked down at her. “Sleep, I’ll leave you be.” he’d tucked her in and kissed her softly, she’d nearly pulled him into the bed. He’d pulled away with a slight smirk, and a little shake of his head, seems he knew it. “Rest up.” He’d told her and strolled out of the room, she’d slept soundly moments later, curled around his pillow.
