My Childish Luna

Chapter 9 - 16 year old Clint & Ellie

Ellie POV

"Ellie..."

I whimpered in shock from the pain of my first shift. He kindly wrapped his jacket around me. He then crouched beside me and gently rubbed my back.

"You're okay Ellie, it's over now you made it through your first shift. I'm proud of you."

"I just want my mum." I burst out into tears.

"I know, I know, baby, but it gets better. Just think you'll be able to find your mate soon."

"In 2 years," I scoffed at that, feeling my mood instantly change.

"It's always good to be patient," he said as he helped me stand up.

"I just think my mate gonna be some sort of vampire and not perfect."

"Come on, no one's perfect."

"Some people think they are." I stared at our new Alpha, rolling my eyes. Clint chuckled at that.

Ramond looked towards us. "Clint, Mutt."

"Asshole," I mumbled.

He growled at that.

"She's just been through her first shift. Found her passed out."

"Aww, couldn't take it?" Ramond said in a mocking tone.

"Just because you're an Alpha now doesn't mean you hold authority against me, Ramond."

He got close up to my face, not liking my tone. "Watch me." he warned before walked away.

I flipped him off.

Clint shook his head with a smile. "Come, Ellie. Let us proceed to your room," he said gently, placing his hand on my lower back and guiding me upwards, drawing curious glances from the pack.

I instantly collapsed on my bed, sighing. He closed the door behind him.

"You can leave, you know. I don't wanna be some burden."

"Now I'd rather stay with my best friend who's emotional and had just been through her first shift then listen to some boring rant by Ramond."

I chuckled at that, causing him to smile. He then proceeded to the drawers at the foot of my bed, opened them, and retrieved two bottles of beer.

"CLINT!" I gasped.

"Okay... so I may hide alcohol in here without you knowing..."

"How? What? Why?!"

"You don't go in there and just in case for a moment like this." He threw one at me, making me catch it,

"To us."

He lifted the bottle and began drinking it. I shrugged, removed the lid, and drank it. I made a face, wincing. Clint fell onto my bed, lying down.

"One thing that you would like to see, what would that be?" He asked.

I sat there cross-legged, staring down at him. "To see where my future holds. Maybe know who my mate is. Maybe see my dad again." I smiled to myself.

Clint smiled to that.

He stared up to the ceiling. "I wish my parents didn't need to travel around. I would like them to be back here with me. I wish my father could help me to be the best damn Beta, not just shove it at me and leave just because I have beta blood."

"At least you know where your dad is and your mum still alive," I mumbled under my breath, but with his wolf hearing, he obviously heard that.

He looked at me, sitting up. "They would be proud of you. Look at you. Finally shifting. Not taking orders from an Alpha. And creating a beautiful woman." he whispered the last part.

"Have you ever thought about us being mates?" I frowned.

"All the time. I hope we are," he was leaning in as I stared into his blue eyes. "Because it would make sense." He softly whispered.

I closed my eyes before feeling his lips press on to mine. I didn't feel a spark, nor did I feel revolted by it. He licked my bottom lips for entrance, which I granted.

I pulled away, falling back as he crawled over, hovering over me. Both of us breathing heavily. He was staring down into my brown eyes and then looking down to my lips. A small smile appeared on his face as I felt my cheeks warming up as I bit my bottom lip. A low husky growl erupted from him.

He was staring down at the zipper from his jacket I was wearing. I looked down and then looked back up. Slowly, I began pulling the zipper down, now exposing my naked figure to him.

"El -"

"I don't care, do it. I trust you."

He stared at me one last time before giving in.

Ramond POV

"Where's that bloody Beta?" I grew impatient as Nick was playing with a yo-yo.

"Probably on a run." Nick shrugged.

"He's back. I saw him with that mutt an hour ago."

"Why is she a mutt?"

"She's not an official pack member. My mother just had a kind heart of bringing her in," I growled.

Tapping my desk hearing the clock tick. I got up. "I'm finding him!" I stormed out my office following his scent. Why not use the mind link? He's blocked everyone off, and Ellie always has me blocked, so I can't ask her where he is.

His scent was stronger outside Ellie room. Was he still with her? I rolled my eyes, walking in, only to stop as my eyes widened. They haven't noticed me, but now I can see why he's ignoring everyone...

I carefully retreated, closing the door behind me as I noticed my heavy breathing, indicating my wolf's desire to emerge. A pang of sadness from my wolf pierced my heart. He has been restless, yearning for his mate, especially now that he has reached the age of nineteen.

I was suddenly filled with anger and confusion.

I decided to go for a run and let my wolf out.
