A horrible gift for the Luna

It seems Jeni is cool with all the wolf thing.

She even liked Katherine and just like everyone's, Noah won her heart as well and most importantly, he loves her !

I am so happy.

Katherine told her many things about the pack and other.

Now's the time her to meet her pack and the pack to meet their Luna !

I took her to my court to introduce her to her pack.

Dani hauled and everyone gathered in the court and sat in a half circle.

Dani and Katharine went ahead of us and welcomed us there.

I took Jeni to my seat which is about to become OUR !

I took her to the seat and asked her to sit with me. The moment we sat, all the members turned and started hauling to welcome their Luna.

She wasn't used to listen to this much hauling so she got scared.

She grabbed my hand and dug her nails in them.

I placed my hand on her and purred for her to calm her down.

When the wolves stopped hauling, they bowed down to their Luna.

She looked at me in confusion.

" They are welcoming you, Jeni. "

I told her.

" What am I supposed to do now ? "

Jenifer asked confused and getting anxious.

" Tell them how are you feeling.

How did you liked their welcome ? "

I told her.

She stood up from the seat,

" Thank you all for welcoming me to your family.

I don't have words to explain how actually I am feeling.

I am just...

Overwhelmed with your gesture !

I am sorry, I got scared when you all hauled, but I am not used to it that's why.

I didn't meant to disrespect you or hurt your feelings.

I am feeling really happy to be here.

And as Luna means the mother, you all are like my children !

So, if you have any complaints or any problems come to me without hesitation.

I am not aware of many rituals and all the things here, I hope you all will help me get through it and we'll be happy together !

Thank you all once again.

I am touched. "

Jenifer said genuinely.

All the wolves hauled and then purred in approval of her words.

We sat there and one by one they went to their chambers and returned in human form with a welcome gift for their Luna !

The children loved her and I am so happy that she too loved them !

She is looking very happy after a long time.

I hope it lasts...

Uh-oh !

How can it last when the happiness stealer is here !

" Welcome, Luna ! "

Robert said and smirked at me and wickedly smiled at her !

" Hey, I know you !

You are Robert right ?

I met you in the forest few days ago. "

Jenifer said recognizing him.

So she didn't forgot him !

" Certainly, I am !

And I am glad you didn't forget me. "

Robert said smirking at me again.

" How can I forget you ?

You came to help me, because you thought I was in danger.

Nobody shows concern that easily. "

Jenifer said innocently.

If only she knew how he loves to help the innocents !

" Oh, I am very concerned about you.

I can't see you hurt !

Right, Cedric ? "

Robert said turning to me.

" You've welcomed her.

Your business is done, leave now ! "

I said glaring at him.

" Oh, what's so hurry ?

I am not gonna hurt her !

And I can't leave you alone...

Um...

I mean I didn't gave her, her welcome gift yet ! You don't want me to hand it to her ? "

Robert said smugly.

Fucking bastard !

What did he got for her now ?

I am sure it'll be something stupid and weird !

" Here !

I've kept it very safe and protected it with all my heart just for this day !

It's something which will remind you of something...

More specifically, someone !

Oh enough chit-chat, open it already ! "

Robert said getting excited.

What the hell did he got for her ?

He is way too excited about his gift.

Why would he be happy or excited to hand her something ?

And what did he got which will be a reminder of someone ?

I am loosing my patience.

" What is it ? "

Jenifer asked curiously at his words.

" You'll know once you open it ! "

Robert said smiling meaningfully at her.

She opened the box and gasped in horror.

She let go of the box and covered her eyes.

The box fell from her hands.

I grabbed it quickly before it hit the ground.

" Watch it !

It's very precious, Luna !

How could you be so heartless ? "

Robert said smirking at me again.

Just what the hell did he got her ?

She was shaking real bad.

Katherine came and made her sit.

I opened the box and it was a...

Bloody heart !

What ?

I glared at Robert and that bastard winked at me !

I was so mad no words came from my mouth.

" You must be dying to know whom does it belongs to...

Correction, whom did it belonged ?

Aren't you ? "

Robert said to her.

" What the hell is this Robert ?

You gifted your Luna a heart ? "

I growled at him.

I grabbed his throat.

He grabbed my hands and made me remove them.

" You are supposed to be the one to gift this to her.

I am helping you and you want to hurt me ?

Don't worry Alpha, I am leaving just let me explain my gift to her !

So, it belonged to your late husband Petric Diggory !

Our Alpha ripped his heart off and threw it away, but I found and kept it safe with me ugh... "

I didn't let him finish his line and chocked his throat.

Dani came to his rescue.

He freed him from my grasp and Robert fell on ground.

He still looked at me and smirked,

" Keep your husband's heart safe Luna !

I kept it...

Oh god... "

Robert moaned in pain when I kicked him in the gut and the Deltas took him away.

Jeni was still shivering.

Katherine gave her some water and she almost chocked on it while gulping it quickly.

" Easy. Easy.

You are fine.

It's... "

I tried to calm her down.

She didn't expected anything like this happen and so, she was caught off guard.

" He was...

lying, wasn't he ? "

Jenifer said pure horror in her eyes.

She was looking scared to death and like she saw some ghost.

What should I say now ?

" Listen... "

I tried to change the topic but she didn't let me.

" Was it true ?

Its...

Is it his heart, which you ripped off ? "

Jenifer said in disbelief.

God, what do I do now ?

" Jeni, I... "

I again tried to divert her but she isn't ready to let go !

" Answer my question got damit ! "

Jeni yelled her lungs out almost growling at me.

I sighed in defeat,

" Yes !

He wasn't lying and it's Petric's heart which I ripped off ! "

I said expecting her to kick me or something like that.

But surprisingly, she nodded her head and went quiet for few moments.

Now, I think she is going to run away from me and never come back to...

" Give it back to Robert !

Tell him his Luna is very happy with his gift, but she can't keep it so, he can do whatever he wants with it !

And now, let the others present me their welcome gifts, he is not the only one who got me a gift, is he ? "

Jenifer said like nothing happened here.

Wait.

What ?

What did she just...

Is she...

Is she shocked or...

" Jeni ? "

I called her to know what's going on in her mind.

" Yes ? "

Jennifer responded naturally.

" Are you alright ? "

I asked.

" Yes.

What happened ?

Why suddenly this question ? "

Jenifer said like I was insane to ask her something so stupid to her.

" Um...

He just... "

I was trying to frame my line but she interrupted.

" I am happy with his gift !

I wasn't there when you ripped it off, but I am glad to know that he did had a heart.

It just wasn't for me though ! "

Jenifer said looking lost in her thoughts.

She accepted all the gifts with genuine smile and whole heartedly.

She was talking to everyone with smile and making them comfortable.

" Um...

Can I ask you something ? "

Jenifer said suddenly.

" Anything. "

I said.

" Everyone said that Alpha's mate is Luna.

What is a mate ? "

Jenifer asked confused.

Now, how do I explain her this ?

It us completely romantic thing and to explain her that, we don't share such bond yet !

" Let me explain it to her, Alpha.

I can tell her much more things than you will and she'd be ready to become your mate ! "

Katherine came to my rescue and took Jeni with her to her chamber after everyone was done presenting their gifts to her
