My Broken Luna

3. Candy

"Baby, you and your wolf share a personality. The only difference between a person and their wolf is that the human side doesn't express as much as the wolf side." Xander tells me.

So everything my wolf is saying are things that I would say.

"That's right." Stupid pills.

"Are you wearing hair gel?" I ask in order to calm down my wolf.

"No. Are you ticklish?"

"No." my voice is blended with my wolf's as we answer the question a little too early. Xander raises an eyebrow then his fingers are tickling my sides.

Xander continues to move his fingers along my ribs and belly area. The only sound filling the room are his laughs and my giggles. There's no way that he's not ticklish, I move my hand to his neck and try to tickle his neck. "You aren't ticklish." I state with a frown.

"I'm not, but you are." my frown immediately turns into a smile when he goes back to tickle me.

"You should smile more." he says looking at me. Heat rises to my cheeks and I use my hands to cover them. Xander gently pulls them away from my face and presses his lips to mine.

It takes me a little bit to process the situation, but I eventually kiss back. My lips move against his and I just follow his lead-

Ding dong!

Xander groans in annoyance as the doorbell rings. "That must be Brody." he mutters pulling away. He looks the bedroom door and then groans one more time.

"What's wrong?" he asks when I hesitate to get off the bed.

"What if he doesn't like me?"

"Brody likes almost everybody, plus you're his sister."

"But I don't remember anything about him, he might get mad at me."

"He's not going to get mad, now let's go before he steals the fridge." Xander helps me position my crutches and helps me walk downstairs with him.

"Where's Charlotte?" Brody asks.

"She's right here." Xander says stepping to the side. I do the same and half hide behind him.

Brody frowns and I fearfully look up at him. He's an inch shorter than Xander, but still over 6'0 tall. "Hi." I greet quietly.

"Hi."

We walk over to the living room and sit on the couches. Xander sits me on his lap and Brody sits opposite of us. "You won't believe how long I've been looking for you." he says smiling.

"You looked for me?"

"Our parents too." he sighs sadly. I'm curious to know what he's talking about, but I don't ask any questions.

"What's in the bag?" Xander asks looking at the bag that Brody brought.

"Videos and candy." I pay more attention at the mention of candy. Candy.

Xander gently picks me up off his lap, places me on the couch, and stands up. "I'm just going to the kitchen, sweetheart. I'll be right back." he says turning around.

I grab a nearby pillow and hug it. "I hope that these videos will bring back some memories."

I nod and watch as Brody inserts a disc into the media player. "This is when I was eight and you were four." he tells me pressing play.

The video takes place in a bedroom with three kids. "Is that Xander?" I ask staring at the two boys on the tv.

"Yup, you and me too."

Little Brody and Xander are playing a video game with a whole pile of snacks between them. The girl who is supposedly me is quietly tiptoeing towards the snacks and with a bag of marshmallows behind her. "Hi." the toddler version of me greets when she trips.

Both boys put down their controllers and turn around. "Why are you here?" Brody asks.

"Can I have candy?" I ask sitting down Indian-style.

"I brought you marshmallows." I add revealing the bag of fluffiness.

"Deal." Xander and Brody immediately hand me a pouch of sour worms in exchange for the marshmallows.

Pause.

"Do you remember that?" Brody asks.

"No."

"Not even the candy part?" I shake my head. "Any questions you want answers to?"

'Ooh, oh, ask if he uses conditioner.' my wolf suggests.

'No. That's too weird.'

"H-how'd I get to a different pack?" I ask. If I was born and raised here in Lunar Blood territory, then how did I end up in the hands of Red Stone?

"You were kidnapped. A group of wolves snuck through the border where we were staying for the weekend. They attacked the area and took hostages, you were the only one who wasn't able to escape." he says running a hand through his hair.

I was taken away. My family didn't sell me like everyone told me.

"Who the hell told you that?!?" Brody growls. The side effects still haven't worn off.

"My old pack." I answer cringing from his loud voice.

"What's going on?" Xander is by my side in an instant.

"Charlotte's old pack fucking told her that she was sold to them! Sold."

"Is this true?" I nod and scoot away from the two angry men. They stand with clenched fists and intimidating stances. I don't understand what's so bad about being sold to another pack, isn't it the same as adoption or something?

"Sweetheart, when a wolf is sold to another pack they're sold as a slave." Xander explains noticing how I'm slowly inching away from him and Brody. He moves towards me and I flinch instinctively. My wolf growls at my actions and tells me to go closer to our mate.

"Are they the ones who starved you?" Brody asks in a calmer tone.

I nod- my heart thumping louder and louder with each passing second. "Don't believe anything those bastards told you." he orders.

"Wait here." Xander kisses my forehead and then quickly walks out of the room.

The seven crashing sounds is all I need to know that he's breaking something.

(8-18-15) I literally didn't notice that the last few moments of this chapter got deleted until now. I am so sorry for that.

The actual action and drama/wolf scenes are in the next chapters. This is still the very beginning of the book.
