Chapter 16: Trinity-New House, New Life
~~
Trinity
~~
Noah told how the house operated. There was a full staff that worked in shifts, so there was always soone here if I needed them. There was soone to cook, soone to clean, soone to do laundry.
All of my old annoying household chores would be a thing of the past. But I would have rather been at ho doing chores with the family than living here with the Alpha that I didn't know.
Apparently, whenever I needed to leave the house, I had to let soone know. That soone could be Noah if I was most comfortable with that. But the Luna needed to be considerate of others and let soone know where she was going and when she would be coming back.
"I think this should go without saying, but your little incident from last night will not be tolerated here." Noah said firmly.
"What incident is that?" Grandfather asked , looking angry.
"Nothing to be upset over Grandfather." I assured him.
"Clearly it is, if it is unacceptable whilst living with the Alpha." He growled, looking exactly like he did when he was the Beta in his younger days.
"I was visiting a friend yesterday, and the two sleepless nights and early morning just caught up to . I ended up falling asleep on her couch. I had not intended to stay out overnight." I told him.
"That is unacceptable and inappropriate Trinity Faith!" Grandfather roared.
"I didn't an to. I had intended to go ho." I told him firmly.
"That is besides the point. You need to be more responsible young lady. You are the Luna of this pack now. You have duties now. Transgressions such as those will not be tolerated." I could hear the sa old lecture tone entering his voice, I really didn't want to do this, not right now.
"Fine, Grandfather, I understand. I will be an upstanding model citizen from now on, you have my word." I ground out through clenched teeth.
"You had better be." He demanded before stalking out of the room.
"Dad?" Uncle Wesley called after him.
"Don't worry Trinity, he loves you in his own way." Aunt Eve said comfortingly. She had always tried to convince of this, I never once believed it.
"No, he doesn't." I snapped back. "He hates , he always has." The pain I had felt through the years was threatening to spill over, but now was not the ti. I still had to hold it in. I had to stay strong for a while longer.
"Don't worry about him Trinity, I love you." Carter declared, wrapping his strong arms around . My constant defender that he was, he never could stand to see the way Grandfather treated , and he would always tell he would love twice as much in Grandfather's place.
"I love you too Carter." I told him. Aunt Eve and Uncle Wesley had been the only mother and father I had ever known, Carter and Noah had been my brothers of sorts. And now here I was being told I had to leave ho. To move sowhere else with soone I barely knew. I was scared, and I needed the comfort of the hug he was giving .
"Noah, how could you let this happen?" Carter asked him. "How can you just stand there and watch as the Alpha takes her away from us?"
"You should be happy, Carter. She has found her mate." Noah told him.
"Her mate?" Carter scoffed. "All of you were saying that you never thought she would find a mate. That without a wolf she probably couldn't form that bond with anyone. And here we're supposed to just believe that the Alpha of all people is her mate. Do we have any proof?"
"Ask her yourself." Noah said pointing at still wrapped in Carter's arms.
"Trinity?" Carter and Uncle Wesley both asked at the sa ti, looking for an explanation.
"I didn't know it was a mate bond at first. I first ca across his scent in the forest." I admitted, as I started to tell them all about what had happened two days ago. I started with my run and finding the intoxicating and dangerous scent that scared , and how I ran ho. Then continued through everything up until I was attacked in the forest by a rogue today.
I told them about how I tried to run away again, afraid to see the Alpha, who I recognized by his scent. But the Alpha ordered not to run and to stay put. From there Noah could take the story.
"Are you alright?" Aunt Eve asked , motherly concern filling her voice as she reached her hands toward . "I can't believe I didn't notice you were hurt sooner."
"I'm fine Aunt Eve, I only have a few scrapes and bruises, they're already healing." I told her. I may not have healed as fast as the other pack mbers did, those who have shifted, but I healed faster than a human.
If I were to compare it to anything, I'd say it's the sa rate that a cub healed at, a child of that pack that had yet to have their first shift. Just slightly accelerated compared to human healing, but it was nothing compared to the healing of a full wolf.
A wolf could be shot, dig the bullet out and fully heal within half an hour to an hour. , it would take about two or three days, minimum. But it would definitely be an easier speedier recovery than a human's recovery.
"This is why you need to check your ssages." Carter reprimanded .
"Agreed." Noah added.
"I'll check them more in the future." I told them.
"Uh huh." Carter said, disbelievingly.
