[Luke's POV]
Ever since big Danny's unbelievable growth on social media sites, a bunch of stuff has happened to him; but this one must really be the cherry on top!
Danny got a chance to audition at PTJ Entertainment!
Which is like one of those God Tier companies.
Danny wanted to give it a shot and tagged Duke along to audition together and now they both are trainees at PTJ Entertainment!
Wah I'm friends with future idols~
Oh also today Zack and Mira tagged along with me and Lucy to our neighbourhood. I mean wouldn't some catching up between them and Luna be long overdue?
"Just sit here, she'll be back soon" Vi takes us all the way to Luna's office and gestured at us to sit down.
We were all having a casual conversation about how we both knew Luna and what it was like first meeting her.
"I was with a group of forest bandits back then. We were famous for robbing people at a lonely road that cuts through the forest... One day Sky and some other guy from this family walked down that path and since they looked loaded we tried to rob them too. But both of them beat the crap out of they bandits and spared me-" Violet narrates shuffling in her seat.
"Her entire scary personality broke and she softly asked me, 'Hey Lil' Grape, you lost?'. I denied it because well I knew that road like the back of hand, but then Sky chuckled out before saying, 'not on the road, in life' ".
"That soft smile on her face made me breakdown in tears as I nod my head in response. She held me in a hug stroking my hair for a few minutes till I calmed down and then said 'Then c'mon we'll take care of you'. And I asked why she would do that for someone she just met and she casually answered-"
"Because you're one of us" a voice ends her sentence as it's owner walks into the room. It was Mike, with a knowing smirk on his face, "That's what they said to all of us abandoned pups that got put into this family".
"Even me I don't have a tragic one like Violet, but when I was alone on the road about to die from not eating for weeks, Sky came up to me and said 'Hey you wanna grab a bite?' like she's my best friend or something.-" Lucy explains smiling to herself as she recollects the memories, "-She then came back with a water bottle and some bread which I gobbled down. She looked like she was about to leave before she looked over her head and asks 'wanna go colour your hair?' I'm not sure why.. but I followed her to colour my hair and then continued to follow her... for the rest of my life."
"Just like us" Matt who had sat down along with Mike on our small circle, states with a soft smile.
"We were stealing food from shop keepers and stuff to keep ourselves alive and I guess Sky saw that one day cause the next thing we knew she saved us from being caught by paying the shop keeper that was chasing us" Mike narrates their story with a look of reminiscence, "when we came to ask her why she did that she replied 'since not everyone knows that we do that without any other choice'. Then we stuttered back saying she still didn't have to help some strangers she replies 'well I don't have to, but I want to.. because you're one of us".
"She said the same to me, a kind act followed by deep words when we were somewhere dark, she's our light and our leader, and we'd follow her wherever she goes" Eric enters the room with a contagious smile that spread to everyone in this circle.
"Hah, to think that brat who saved us on the street came to be a leader to so many" Zack scoffs out hiding the proud smile on his face.
"I've been sneezing for a while out of the blue, either I'm sick or y'all have been talking about me"
That familiar voice makes us all look at the doorway with the biggest smiles till they was replaced with looks of horror.
"Luna!! What the hell happened!?" Lucy jolts up and rushes towards her to examine the white head who now had bandages wrapped around her left leg and right arm and bandaids on a number of locations.
"Ah.. just a small fight, no need to worry"
"No need to worry?? You have half your body wrapped up! Either you've grown weak or this is serious!"
"Alright alright- they were using machetes and stuff so I might've got cut in a few places-"
"THEY WHAT??"
"But it wasn't just me Matt and Mike got hurt too!" Luna blurts out exposing the twins.
"Luna what the hell!? We covered up our entire bodies to hide it so well!" Mike says sounding betrayed.
"Sorry! I couldn't cover up mine it was too unbearable" Luna lowers her head like a child that got told off.
"Pfft, alright everyone calm down and Vi get that chair for Luna" Eric mediates the situation and settles everyone down.
Yes, as you can see he's used to playing the calm one.
Matt and Mike took of their coat and Jacket to expose their bandaged arms, making most of us gasp. We tried to check if they needed anything but they just waved us off and continued to converse with the horrified guests after calming them down.
Luna, Zack and Mira start conversing sharing small details of how they've been doing till now. Luna explaining how the elders of the Pack took her in when she was lost in the forest. How she got given the title 'Luna' as she was rasied up as someone destined for greatness..
"I mean I was kinda hard and stressing since they expected so much from me... so when I was feeling insecure.. Eric, Violet and these twins came over and listened to me rant for quite a while and said the perfect words that made all my worries go away".
"And what's that?" Mira giggles already enjoying this family love.
"They said 'Luna, we don't call you Luna, cause you were meant to be a Luna, it because right now, we see you as a Luna, so we aren't expecting much from you, we're just stating who you are in this moment, as you do what your heart feels is right"
"Woah.." Zack and Mira breathe out leaning back on their chair.
"You have the most supportive family" Zack states smiling at her, "I'm happy for you".
"I had the most supportive family, back when I was with you kids too" Luna smiles softly a look of sorrow shining in her blue eyes.
The mood dimmed down a bit but those three had soft smiles that covered their sorrow.
"So did we" Mira breathes out looking up at Luna.
"Have any of you two... seen him.. since then?" Luna asks barely audible, "-do you think he's alright? He doesn't even fight back.."
"Don't worry he's okay" Zack smiles softly at her.
"R-really? How?"
"Well.. I guess you two don't know this since you were taken away back then..." Zack starts off but then trails off as he noticed the crowd in the room. Luna picks up on why he stopped and waves him off, "oh don't mind them, they already know the story so it's alright to say it infront of them; just don't say his name".
"Then what should I call him?"
"I called him J" Luna shrugs casually as all of us reacted with a dawn of knowledge.
Ah they're talking about him!
"Alright well.. J and I were taken to the yard by the followers while you and Mira were taken away"
"J's mom was tied up to the weird cross thing as a whole sea of followers with rocks in their hands shouting about showing judgement or something. After a huge cheer they all threw those rocks at Jo- I mean J's mom" Zack narrates clenching his fists.
"N-no, but she was alright when she came to save us!" Luna falters, eyes wide open with fear.
"Well that's the thing.. admist the shower of rocks that about to hit his mom, J dashed in front of his mom and protected her"
"..how..?"
"He jabbed each and every rock that was thrown at her"
"What?" Luna asks like she heard something unbelievable.
"It was all so quick that it took me a whole minute to realise what had happened. Every rock that was thrown at his mom he blocked with a jab and let it fall to the ground. His fists were covered in blood that he just wiped off on his pants before attacking the followers"
"When I finally came back to my senses I attacked the people around there and we both freed his mom before we ran around the place looking for you and Mira while defending ourselves"
A huge silence fell in the room as Luna seemed to be lost in thought.
"Then he came back again in a year.. to Zack's boxing tournament.. he beat Zack and took the win.. I tried to catch up to him and ask him how he was... but he ignored me telling his coach he had no friends and no regrets... that.. was the last we saw of him" Mira concludes as the entire room's mood dimmed. A think tensioned silence filling up as each one was lost in their own thoughts.
"S-Sky.. can we ask you something?" Mira stutters out after seeming to think about something deeply.
"Sure" Luna replies smiling softly as she looked up at her friend.
"That day.. you had some sort of control over the dogs... what was that? And I don't know if I was imagining things but... your eyes... they seemed to glow.." Mira fumbles out.
Wait... Luna's eye glowed? Then was she using her wolf? What?? Then what about the pack's secrecy? Are we in trouble now?
I look left and right at the other only to see they had the same panicked expression before we turn to Luna who just smiled again after being in deep thought.
"There's still alot about me... that you guys don't know... and I can't tell you right now, since it could put some people in danger.. but when I can tell you guys, I'll let you know.. about our family and me" Luna explains hoping they'd understand.
And they did, sharing looks between each other before they turn to Luna and smile softly at her with a small nod.
"We'll wait till you're ready"
