“Nope! I’m coming! I want to see the smokers you built and what you are going to do with them.” She says.
As we make our way to the kitchen, several pack members say hello to both Renata and me. It seems like everyone really loves Austin’s mom and it isn’t really hard to see why. I bet she was a great Luna.
“It seems like you are well loved.” I smile.
“You are as well. The smiles to you are just as genuine. Tell me, has the adjustment been hard for you?” She questions.
I think on it for a second, “Honestly, it is a lot easier when I am working with everyone to relate to them. If it is just to stop and say hi, then I find it more difficult. I don’t do small talk well with people. Not because I don’t care, but because I don’t know how.”
Renata looks at me considerately. “Practice makes perfect my dear, but I understand what you mean. One day, soon I hope, I will tell you all about my story. Maybe that will help inspire you.”
I smile warmly at my newfound mother and walk into the kitchen. I greet the Omegas and after we wash our hands, I start showing them how to trim the briskets, letting them know to use the fat for renderings, as we will need that later. Then I show them how to season, wrap and tie everything together.
All the while, Renata is observing me. I see a ghost of a smile on her face. I wonder idly what that was about, but I move on and tell the omegas to let the briskets sit in the refrigerators when we get the smokers up and running. Once again, I show them how to start the smokers and have them break up in groups to try and get them going. I try to praise them when they get it and encourage them when they struggle, which is more than I ever got in my life.
Now that everything is up and running, I start working with the omegas to get everything goi briskets on the smokers. I see warriors hooting and hollering, clearly, they are excited. Thei infectious and I start laughing with the omegas.
By the time we are done, I sit down with them and start making a schedule for them to take aifts to watch over the smokers. I also mind linked Austin to join us so he can get some warriors to patrol the areas for the omega’s safety.
“Austin, your mate is a natural born leader. What she has done is nothing sho. of amazing. Renata says as I blush at the praise.
Before Austin could respond, the omegas started chiming in too.
“Luna is very good at teaching, Alpha.”
“Yeah, she is patient with us.”
“I would love for her to come back and show us some other things in the kitchen, Alpha.”
Austin POV
This is not Cullen’s men. I have a suspicion that this is Blue Moon and Alpha Kaden is somewhere in here. I haven’t found him yet though. I am keeping a pulse on Rebel. I have no doubt she can fight against rogues and is well trained, but I haven’t seen her fight against other trained warriors at this capacity.
I just finish ripping another warrior’s throat when Renz mind links me. ‘Luna is helping Lacy and Jane but they are surrounded – HOLY SHIT!’ Then a huge roar was heard.
At that moment, it feels like time suspended and everyone stopped fighting. I follow everyone’s line of sight and see my mate. She is bigger than she was before we got to the fight and everyone is on one knee with their neck in submission. The aura coming from Rebel is heavier than anything I’ve ever felt in my life.
She is absolutely, without a doubt a True Alpha. No one could pull that kind of command off without being a True Alpha. I’m in awe of my mate when she shifts back to human form and her eyes are glowing.
She sees me in the distance and with an extended hand, “Austin.”
I stand by her side, “Are you okay?”
“Yes.”
She turns to a warrior and in front of everyone asks, “Which pack are you from?”
The warrior with his neck extended, “Blue Moon.”
My fury is palpable and I see the same fury radiating from Rebel’s eyes.
“Where is Alpha Kaden?” I demand.
“He sent us with our Beta Pierce. He isn’t here.” He cries out as Rebel’s aura crushes down on him.
She bends down and tells the warrior, “Grab what’s left of your warriors and return to your pac You tell your worthless and pathetic excuse of an Alpha, not to cross me. I’m not someone you want to piss i. Consider this my mercy that I allowed you to leave alive and your heads intact.”
I growled, “If you dare come here again, consider us granting your death wish. No one on my watch will let you leave alive.”
I stand and make it very clear to the rest of the Blue Moon warriors and where ever their pathetic Beta is, “My Luna and I are showing mercy ONCE. Next time you all will die. Now leave, an do not come ack.”
I feel Rebel’s aura pull back. Everyone around us is gasping for air. I hear a howl retreat and see Blue Moon warriors leaving. I turn to my mate in awe. She truly is magnificent.
“Beta’s daughter my ass darling.” I said smirking at her.
The fierce woman who just brought everyone to their knees and force their necks in submission is now shyly looking at me, “What? I was getting bored. They are terrible fighters.”
I throw my head back and laugh, “Goddess, I love you. That was incredible my little mate.”
Lacy and Jane come running up, “Incredible? No, Alpha, that was fucking AWESOME!” Lacy starts.
Jane added, “I thought we were done for with the warriors circling us. If Luna didn’t do what she did, we could have been seriously injured or dead, Alpha.”
Renz walks up, “Damn Luna, you’ve been holding back. When the hell did you learn to do that anyway?”
My mate is blushing again when Lacy speaks up, “Uh-uh Rebel! You don’t get to go all True Alpha over their asses and then act shy! Own your power, Luna!”
Jane chimes in, “Lacy is right! There is nothing to be shy or embarrassed about. You were awesome. You should walk with your head tall and with pride. You are a leader Rebel. Don’t let anyone tell you different!”
