No One's Luna
Chapter 1

Five Days Earlier

I am sitting in my chair finishing my homework. Having a single room is great, but sometimes, liketonight, it's lonely. I'm glad I got to move into the pack house, but I miss being at home with momand dad.

My name is Elenor Charlotte Miner, but most people just call me Ellie. I am seventeen years old, asenior in high school, and I am a werewolf. I am a pretty typical teenage girl, except for my healingabilities and strength.

I live in northern Ohio with my pack, the Seneca-Cayuga Pack. We don't go all crazed at full moons,but we can shift into wolves whenever we want to.

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

My father, Adam, is the top warrior of our pack, so I have always trained as hard as the men andboys of the pack, causing the guys to always see me as one of them instead of girlfriend material.The girls 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. Shestands at five foot eight with waist length blonde hair and sky-blue eyes. We all know my mother forbeing stylish. Basically, she is the total opposite of me. She always pushes me to put makeup on,wear dresses, or do my hair. She says I will end up turning into a boy. She thinks she’s funny.

I am an only child, which has its pro’s and con's, but mostly, it's been great. The three of us havealways had a great and open relationship and really enjoy spending time with each other and ourpack.

Growing up as a wolf in a pack of almost four hundred has been an incredible experience. Everyoneis family, and we would do anything for each other. You can mind link your immediate family onceyou get your wolf. Basically, you can talk to each other through your thoughts, with no one elsehearing.

The higher-ranking wolves like the Alpha and the Beta can mind link anyone in the entire pack, oreveryone at once. It's funny to watch someone mind link someone else. Their eyes gray over andthey zone out on something in the room. I don't know what it feels like yet, though.

In our pack we have an Alpha. His name is Lawrence, and we know him 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 allrespect him, and no one has ever challenged him for the position.

Our Luna is Amara. Being my mom's best friend, I have grown up knowing her as my aunt, but outof respect I still call her by her title. We see each other frequently and she has always been so kind.Lawrence and Amara have made no one in our pack feel like they were less because of ranks. Inother packs, the Alpha and Luna's use the Omega's as maids and cooks. We are such a lucky pack tohave them in charge.

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

UGHHH speaking of Colin. He is Lawrence and Amara’s son, and he is drop dead gorgeous.Standing just shy of six foot, with light ash brown hair, and the most intense hazel eyes you couldorgasm from just by staring too long.

Colin is the captain of the football team, obviously. He has warrior training on top of footballpractices, so he's built like a brick wall and has a decent number of tattoos making him that muchmore of a wet dream. This is who the Moon Goddess chose for my mate. Which is just cruel.

I turned seventeen last week and found out. Walking into Luke and Colin's room for homeworkhelp, I felt the mate pull immediately. My heart sank. What a mean joke by the Moon Goddess. Sure,he is my quintessential high school crush, and I drool every time I see him. Unfortunately, he's goingto end up laughing when he replaces out we are mates this Friday.

That's when his birthday is. I know he won't reject me 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 lookpast that. Not to mention that we have grown up together, which is weird.

Also, he's with Victoria, and treats her like she's already his Luna. They have been together sincefreshman year and have always 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 just know it. My heartwon't be able to take it, so maybe I'll can reject him first.

“Um, do I not get a say in this matter? You know he’s my mate too, right?!” An unfamiliar voicespeaks up, and I know it's in my head because I am in my room, alone.

"OMG!!! Are you my wolf?! What is your name!! I have been waiting to meet you! What do you looklike?!?" I laugh at myself for how I must look from the outside right now. I am currently zoning outon a lamp in the corner of my room

"Yes, I am your wolf! I have been here your whole life, but once you became seventeen, I had tofigure out how to communicate with you. It will be a learning process for both of us.” She talks tome 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 ampractically jumping up and down from excitement, and I am suddenly so glad that no one else is inhere with me.

“Sorry Ellie, my name is Leia. You will get to see what we look like once you shift into me for the firsttime. Can we please get back to your idea of rejecting our mate?” Her voice becomes stern and I amsure 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 nointention of 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 for now.”

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

Since I was six years old, I have been dreaming of turning seventeen so I could meet my wolf andlearn her name. As a werewolf, you have a wolf who you can talk to once you turn of age. It's hardto say when your wolf will come forward. Some wolves do so instantly on your birthday, but sometake a few days.

My mom always described sensing her wolf, Serene, almost as a daydream. It is exactly like that, Ican see and sense Lei's actions in my head and her voice is like a second subconscious, only louderand sounds different from my own thoughts.

I walk over to my bed, happier than I have ever been on a Monday night. I lay my head down,thinking about how it will feel to shift, or run. I am excited about pretty much everything that comeswith being a werewolf.

Besides having Colin as a mate, that just sucks. I lay down, pull my pillow over my head and groaninto it. It takes a while, but I finally fall asleep.
