THIS GUY IS UNBEARABLE

Diana heartily ate two pieces of steamed medium-sized potatoes and one large hard-boiled egg, after emptying two cups of brewed coffee with none other than Roman. As simple as the meal she just had with the company of the least person she like, her heart is still grateful for not being completely empty handed and alone at times like this.

With her hunger satiated and her depleted strenght replenished, she thought she's more capable now to get back to Scott on her own. Checking the time on her moon phase watch, it's almost five in the afternoon. 'Where could he be?', Diana frowned worrying about Scott until she noticed Roman staring at her with a coy smile.

"You didn't eat", Diana told Roman who just watched her enjoy the food Kristia prepared.

"I'm not really hungry for food, Diana. I'm hungry for something else.", Roman said as he bit his lip gently.

"Do you want me to call Kristia for you?", Diana kept her cool as she tried to keep a straight face. She knows this look. It's annoying, but expected.

Roman laughed uncontrollably. "Luna, I'm afraid Kristia couldn't help me with anything right now.. Only YOU can ", Roman said as he bats his eyes trying to look cute to attract his Luna.

"Stop making fun of me.", Diana rolled her eyes at Roman. She then seated at the edge of her seat and stood up abruptly. "May I use your restroom?", she asked.

"Of course! This way Luna", Roman led Diana to the narrow aisle towards a small cubicle. Diana maintained her composure as she kept distant from Roman who intentionally keeps his body too close to her.

Diana went in and immediately shut the door. She exhaled wearily with her eyes closed. She lifted her face up and looked at her own reflection in the mirror. She combed her black hair with her fingers and leaned on the lavatory. "This guy is unbearable!!", she uttered.

After a few minutes, Diana opened the door. She gasped and almost slipped seeing Roman who was waiting upfront. With one swift move, Roman caught her waist with one arm staring into her eyes. Slowly, he tilted his face as he move closer to her attempting to kiss his Luna.

With her hands on his chest, Diana pushed Roman who all of a sudden turned red as a beet. "Why don't you move over? And what are you doing here?", Diana flustered as she sprinted to the couch near the front.

Roman breathe deeply, rubbing his face with both hands. 'Damn it! Why can't I do it?', he said as he followed Diana and stood by the door.

"Do you want to go out to get some fresh air?", he asked.

"I don't have any shoes", she said as stared at her feet.

Roman removed his slippers and placed it aside. "We'll walk barefoot then or I'll carry you if you want.", he said with a teasing smile.

Diana would love to step out rather than to stay indoors alone with Roman. His playful intentions and inclination to flirt whenever he gets the chance is starting to provoke her impatience. "Barefoot it is", she said squinting her eyes at Roman. He then opened the door and led Diana out first.

Diana partly closed her eyes at the brightness of the warm sunset outdoor. The mossy breath of fresh air with the aroma of barbecue grilling made her senses explode in delight, as she step on the green carpet of the moist grass.

When her eyes adjusted to the light, Diana gasped as she recoiled back at Roman's hard chest to her surprise seeing a sight of wolves in different colors and sizes waiting outside. It was a sight worth seeing, for it's not everyday you'd see wolves as big as cows and horses gathered altogether.

Roman noticed that Diana is not used to seeing wolves too often. He rubbed her back comforting the shocked Luna. "Are you alright? Sorry for not giving a heads up. It's the moon festival, so my people are gathered here for a few days.", he said. "And they've been wanting to meet you ever since you arrived", he added.

Most wolves bowed at her foot, and some just simply glanced at her beauty. "Oh, hello everyone. ", Diana shyly smiled and waved hesitantly at the wolves. "Is this really necessary?", she whispered at Roman. Roman gestured the wolves to leave for it makes Diana uncomfortable given such attention.

"Yes it is", he replied.

Diana continued to explore around and gaze at the several trailer homes and campervans parked ahead. Each mobile home has a table setup with bonfires and barbecue grills.

Then, there's this one wolf that caught her eye. It has a big scar on the face and a part of it's brown fur is depilated. In front of the wolf were children who seemed like listening at the wolf's soft growls.

"Who's that?", she asked.

"Oh.. that's Oli, the chieftain of our clan who's teaching our youngest generation about our clan history", Roman answered as he guided Diana for a walk.

"There's a chieftain in the presence of an Alpha? ", Diana wondered.

"You figured? Smart. Okay.. more than usual, when an Alpha arises, the clan chief descends. By the time my Alpha blood was awakened I thought I won't be able to juggle so many things in my hands. So I asked the elders and the chieftain to continue leading the clan. On the otherhand, it is my duty to maintain the safety of its people and… I will be handling situations requiring major decisions ", he explained.

"Alright, I understand. Clear as the day", when he said juggling so many things, Diana first thought of the different and several women he's spending most of his time with.

While walking in between trailer homes, a young lad approached Diana and shyly gave her three stems of freshly picked pink peonies. "Hello Luna! Uhh.. thanks for.. last time", Troy bashfully gave his gratitude.

"Luna, this is Troy.", Roman introduced.

"You're Troy? I didn't know you're this young. What are you, 13?", she asked as she take the flowers.

"Not just young Luna, he's slow and clumsy.. and weak", Roman said as he knuckled Troy's head.

Troy wriggled from Roman's arms. "No Luna! I'm 15. Actually, what Alpha was trying to say, I'm young and extremely careful during fights", he replied.

"Heyy you owe me and my Luna bigtime. She almost died because of you", Roman grabbed Troy's neck with one hand as he forced the young lad to bow at Diana.

"Sorry, Luna! It won't happen again", Troy said with utmost sincerity.

Diana held Troy's hands and said, "I'm glad you're safe. Anyone would do the same thing as I did". She beamed a warm smile at Troy making Roman jealous.

Troy breakfree instantly from Diana's soft hands after sensing Roman's aura. "Okay, you're done. Now, Get outta here!", Roman ordered to where Troy hurriedly left.

"He's a nice boy, you don't have to be mean", Diana said as she smell the fresh floral scent of the peonies.

"I don't like seeing my Luna getting close with other men", Roman replied in a serious tone. He took a quick glance at Diana who look softer and relaxed while smelling the flowers. "I'll give you more of those later", he said as he cleared his throat.

"I'm not even your Luna", Diana answered. Roman ignored Diana's remark as they continued to walk around.

The closer they go, the louder the sounds thud. They walked further ahead until they reach a yard full of clan wolves in their human forms. 'A party in the woods?', she thought.

Diana didn't felt she belong. Everyone looked amazingly tall and long legged. She suddenly felt small as surrounded by towering individuals. The ladies looked provocative in their skimpy clothings, while the topless men proudly displayed their rock-hard abs and tough biceps.

One by one, the people started to greet Diana with a handshake and a wave as they walk through. Diana didn't like the attention, while Roman enjoyed every bit of special treatment his people is showing to his Luna.

After hearing Roman has imprinted to a unique she-wolf, the wolf clan were electrified to meet Diana. On the contrary, Diana thought the wolves here were unusually welcoming and warm towards her, compared to the townspeople from Scott's clan. 'Weird..', she thought.

Getting dizzy with so much faces and attention, adding to the loud noises and chattering, Diana could hardly smile at every person greeting her.

"There will be a dance at exactly 6pm, I hope you're up for that", Roman said as he held Diana's shoulders pushing her through the crowd. They stopped when three blonde and voluptuous ladies greeted Roman. One of them even had the guts to kiss Roman hardly on the lips, while the other snaked her arms around Roman's waist.

To her surprise, Diana moved out of the way for the ladies as they circle Roman like bees hovering on a flower.

"Hey Roman! You didn't moonbathe with us! Whom did spent the night with? Maybe you can sleep with us tonight", the curviest woman said.

Roman reflexively pushed the girls away radiating his rageful aura. "Back off and get your filthy mouth away from me! I now have my Luna", he said darkening his eyes as the three women and the nearby wolves tremble out of fear.
