The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 433

87 - Elara

“I don’t know what took you so long to get here, but I’m glad you pulled your head out of your ass.” My wolf chortles as I lay here completely wrapped up in Ben’s arms. His nose is tucked into the back of my hair with a faint little snore that makes me smile.

“I do know what took me so long and it wasn’t my head up my ass. I love my parents, but I wanted nothing to do with their weird arrangement with the Elders, or having them think because I am a female that they were just going to walk in and take over or force a douchy mate on me to make me comply.”

“Well, Ben is none of those things, so I was right to push you.”

“You were right, asshole. There, I said it, are you happy now?”

“Very.” She purrs.

My mind shifts quickly to the girl we have locked in a room on the other side of the packhouse though. I wonder how long it's been since she’s felt safe or cared for. How often did these rogue wolves, helping this witch, put their hands on her? I feel responsible for her somehow, like she needs my protection specifically. Maybe my Alpha sensibilities are getting stronger the longer I do this job, I’m not sure, but I feel the sudden urge to go question Jeff and Drake myself.

He pulls me to the shower after he completely destroys my body three more times, and washes me thoroughly. There’s no heat this time, just care. He even wraps my arms around his waist and washes my hair, while I just stand here, eyes closed, letting someone take care of me for a change. He seems to almost need this kind of connection and I am learning that I enjoy the attention.

Once dry and clothed, we head out to find the rest of our teams and make a plan for today. I want a crack at Drake and Jeff and I think keeping the male wolves around Juliette to a minimum is the best idea for now. Jason will always be present, his wolf won’t allow second hand information about her and he needs to come to terms with anything in her past that will affect her ability to form a bond with him. And Ben needs to be there for Jason. Jax and Dev are always good company. And there is just something about two flamboyant gay men that make people come out of their shell.

I set Marge up to attend to the witches personally and keep an eye on Juliette. She has done a lot in her time here at the packhouse. She is the grandmother everyone needs. Melodie is in charge of keeping the rest of us fed with her team of Omegas and a few Kitchen witches. She has taken this blending of species with a level of excitement I have never seen before. She learns something new almost everyday and the energy they all have is contagious. My packhouse feels alive now and I am starting to crave the commotion.
