A Runt Luna
Chapter 15

Kole frowned as he looked to his mate, he wanted nothing more than to kiss her senseless but she would probably run in fear. No, he had to take things slow and as much as he hated it, he knew that it would be best for them in the long run.

She ate in silence, and he found that he had no idea what to say to her. He wasn't good with his words- he never was, but to think about talking to his mate seemed to make things even harder. So they sat in silence just enjoying each others

company.

After Aurora finished eating, she picked up her plate and loaded into the dishwasher. She was cleaning the kitchen when Georgia found her.

"What are you doing?" Georgia asked looking around at the now clean kitchen. It practically shined.

"I was just cleaning up from breakfast." Aurora responded as she hit the start button on the dishwasher. Not only was she used to cleaning up after everyone, that it became a habit- she actually liked to clean, it was soothing and order gave her comfort.

"You didn't have to do that, I was coming right back. Thanks for helping." Georgia spoke softly. The last thing she wanted Aurora to think was that she was only brought into their pack to clean up for them. She was so much more special than that, she was the Luna. One of the most important members of the pack. The Luna was like the mother to the pack, the one that stood by the Alpha's side at all times and supported him, as well as keeping him in check to do what was best for the pack. Someone her bother definitely needed in his life.

Aurora wasn't sure what she should be doing. Her mate didn't seem to want her around her, and she didn't know anyone in the pack. Kole was avoiding her like the plague, so she figured that he was trying to decide if he should reject her and how he should do it. It wasn't normal, Aurora has seen a lot of mates replace each other and only one couple had rejected each other. Usually replaceing a mate was celebrated by the pack, and the pair that had been rejected was done quickly and straight to the point. She almost wished she had that Kole would just get it over with. She wasn't going to reject him, she had thought about it but it would be humiliating for an Alpha to be rejected by a runt, and quite frankly she didn't want to spend her life alone.

"Aurora, I was going to go into town, would you like to come with me? We can get you some clothes while we are out?" Kole spoke breaking her out of her thoughts. She blinked twice before she realized that he was talking to her.

"Sure." She hesitated.

"Would you be ready in an hour?"

"Yes." She nodded, she was literally doing nothing. Just sitting in their bedroom, unsure if she was allowed to venture out and meet others.

The hour went quickly and before she knew it she was starting to feel sick to her stomach, she was nervous about going out with Kole. They barely had a conversation, despite sharing a bedroom. He was the last one to go to bed, and the first to leave the bedroom in the morning, usually before she ever woke up.

"I heard from a little birdy that you were taking someone out for clothes." Georgia spoke, her eyes twinkling in excitement as she looked at her big brother.

"I am." Kole nodded, rubbing the back of his neck slightly nervous about his first outing with his little mate.

"Good, just remember that you need to be nice. She probably has never been shopping before, at least not for herself, so you should spoil her, but not overwhelm her." Georgia warned.

"I know how to treat my mate." Kole growled at his sisters unwanted and unneeded advice.

"I'm not saying you don't, but she's a little different."

"Watch it, sister." Kole warned not liking anyone talking about his mate like that, not even his sister. His wolf was definitely alert and didn't appreciate it being pointed out that there was something wrong with his mate, there wasn't; she was perfect. She just didn't know it.

"I don't think its a bad thing," Georgia said trying to correct her statement, clearly seeing the flash of silver as his wolf was angered. "I just don't want you scaring her off." Wrong thing to say, she knew it but she kept digging herself into a hole.

"Babe, I don't know what your saying but you better stop. We can practically feel the anger of the Alpha build from the other room." Alex spoke walking into the

room.

"Are you saying I don't know how to treat my mate?" Her brother asked standing straight, ignoring Alex's presence in the room.

"That's not what I'm saying at all, but I've spent time with her, and I think I know how she thinks. At least let me come?" His sister asked giving him her best puppy dog eyes.

"Stop. Those may work for dad, but not me. Now if you excuse me, I need to replace my mate." Kole said, a small smile coming to his face at the thought of his mate. He couldn't believe that he had actually found her, and now that he has, he needed to actually try to talk to her.
