Episode 13

*Derek

I kiss her mouth intensely and pull her body to mine, she pulls away smiling and wipes her mouth.

Derek - You look beautiful, you know that.

Allya - I tried to look presentable for dinner at the alpha's house lol.

Derek - Silly girl, I'm sure you'd look beautiful even dressed in a burlap sack lol.

She laughs and so do I.

Derek - Come on, let's go in.

I hold her hand and lead her inside, my mother and Ketilyn are in the living room waiting.

Derek - Mom, Ketilyn, I want you to meet Allya, my mate.

Allya smiles shyly and my mother approaches.

Penelope - It's a pleasure, dear, I'm Penelope, I'm very happy to meet you.

Allya - The pleasure is all mine, Mrs. Northwest.

Penelope - Ha, please, just call me Penelope lol

My mother hugs her and Ket approaches.

Ketilyn - Wow, so people weren't lying when they said you were really beautiful, you hit the jackpot, bro, nice to meet you, Allya, I'm Ketilyn, but you can just call me Ket.

Ketilyn approaches and extends her hand which Allya gently takes and smiles.

Allya - Thank you, but you're also very beautiful.

Ketilyn - lol, you can be sure that compared to you, I'm just tidy lol

Allya smiles and I see that Ketilyn really liked her, my sister has a thing about not getting along with everyone, she lives in her own world, since Dad died she's never been the same, and sometimes I blame myself for Ketilyn being so closed off, I couldn't give her the attention she needed when our father died, I needed to be in command of the pack and also get over the pain of loss, my mother was also suffering and Ketilyn was just a child. We walk towards the kitchen and get settled, my mother at the head of the table, me on the left side with Allya next to me and Ket on my mother's right side.

Allya - Your house is very beautiful.

Penelope - Thank you dear, I can't wait to have kids running around this house, it's huge and sometimes it feels like there's no one here lol, when the boys were little it was always a party here.

Ketilyn - Ha, it's true, Derek used to run and fall, he would get all bruised lol

Derek - You weren't easy either, Ket, you played some pretty rough games lol

Allya - Lol I can imagine how good your childhood must have been.

Derek - It really was, Dad would barbecue by the pool every weekend, it was fun.

Allya looks at me tenderly and smiles.

Penelope - Well dear, tell me about yourself, because if it depends on Derek we'll never really get to know you lol, he doesn't say a thing.

Allya - Well, there's not much to say about me, I just turned 18 and I live with my parents, I'm currently enrolled in a drawing and painting course, but classes don't start until next month, I've always liked to draw, I've been helping at the children's NGO here in the pack since I was 13, you already know my family since my brother is the beta, my father is one of the elders and my mother is the doctor at the pack hospital lol, my sister has a clothing store and I think that's it lol.

Penelope - Yes, I know your family, they are wonderful people, your mother studied with me in college lol, I think she must have told you about it, it was before I met my late husband, but because of my duties as Luna and the children I couldn't finish college and pursue a career.

Allya - Yes, she told me. lol.

Ketilyn - Are you really adopted, Allya?

Penelope - Ketilyn.

My mother scolds her and I look at her and give a growl, Allya looks at me as if to say it's okay.

Allya - It's okay, guys, I don't mind talking about it.

Derek - That was very inappropriate, Ketilyn.

Ketilyn lowers her head and looks apprehensive, I think she really didn't mean it.

Ketilyn - Sorry Allya, I didn't mean to embarrass you.

Allya - It's okay, Ketilyn, lol, I really don't mind talking about it and yes, I am adopted, actually my father found me in the woods when I was a year old, he was on a hunt and ended up finding me alone, he took me home and for days they kept waiting for someone to show up looking for me, at the time my mother was already working at the hospital and she even looked for records about me to find out anything, but found nothing, so they decided to raise me as their daughter, registered me with their last name.

Penelope - Did you ever find anyone from your biological family, dear?

I look at my mother, I really didn't want to touch on this subject, I don't want to leave Allya upset or uncomfortable, Petrus becomes restless and I think she feels it and holds my hand.

Allya - No, actually my parents took me to many wizards and witches to try to find out something and also confirm if I was a wolf, but what they found out was that my past is like it doesn't exist, like someone did something to erase any record of my biological family, so when I grew up I decided I didn't want to go after it anymore, because I already had a family, I didn't need another one.

Derek - And now you have me.

She looks at me and gives a beautiful smile.

Penelope - Aww, dear. lol

Ketilyn - I say the same, Allya, and once again I apologize for the question.

Allya - It's okay, and thank you for the welcome.

Penelope - Then a toast to our Luna.

My mother smiles and raises her glass and we do too and we toast, Allya gets shy and I love it when she gets all red with embarrassment lol, dinner continues quietly and without any more embarrassing questions, after finishing my mother serves the pudding she made for dessert and as soon as it's over we organize the kitchen, even my mother saying she doesn't need to Allya insisted on helping to clean and put everything away lol, she really doesn't exist. After dinner we stayed in the living room talking for a bit, my mother shows the pictures of me and Ket as kids, and we tell stories from when we were kids. And I stop to think how good my life alongside Allya is going to be.
