Unknowingly Lost

@ FallenHope95

As they suddenly walked into a clothing store, Luna immediately brightened up. She had not wanted to go to the car store so this was so much better. Her eyes widen as they walked in and Luna's mouth even opened a bit, quickly overwhelmed by what she was seeing. "Wow," Luna whispered, glancing around for a moment as she did so. How were there so many options?

At Sebastion's encouragement, Luna started to walk in. It took a few moments for the shock that overcame her to melt away and soon Luna was moving through the store. At first, she moved slowly, trying to take everything in but a few moments later, the girl was zipping through the clothes fast, wanting to take in everything that she could. Pure excitement was radiating off of the pup.

Reaching her hand out, Luna brushed her fingers against a sherpa sweatshirt. An excited and shocked squeal left her. "It's so soft!" Luna exclaimed before turning to Sebastion and holding it out to him. "You should buy this for the girls in your pack," Luna told him, rather sure that she was supposed to pick clothes for someone else.

@ BearGirl
Why the fuck was it so damn amusing and so damn upsetting at the same time, to watch Luna as she explored the clothing store. Her excitement over mass-produced shit was so overwhelming, what the fuck was Bash supposed to do or say? A small uncomfortable hum escaped from the young man as he watched her stop by a rack of fluffy sweaters that he's seen quite a few of the females at school wearing during the cooler months. Last year, meaning, this year this would be a fashion atrocity to the popular. Not that Bash really cared about fashion or anything.

"If I bought that for the females in the pack, I would get castrated," Sebastion mumbled casually as he reached forward and grabbed a slightly smaller size then the one that Luna had grabbed. He held it up to Luna and just stared for a moment before nodding his head once. "We're here for you. Pick out a few things that you like." He told her as he draped the coat over his arm and motioned for Luna to keep looking. "Keep that mouth shut if you plan to complain," Bash told Luna, he could see that she was uncomfortable and quite frankly. He was uncomfortable as well.

Raising his gaze, Bash noticed a couple of girls staring at him. A small smirk slowly pulled at the edge of Bash's lips and he offered them a small wink. Which, in turn, got him some blushes from the girls and nervous giggles as the girls looked away. They were underclassmen. He didn't know them, so it was safe for him to tease them a little bit. Looking back towards Luna, Bash crossed his arms as he waited for her to actually pick clothing that she'd actually want to wear. "Don't get just shirts, get some pants, skirts, dresses or something." He told her, remembering the text his dad had sent him early that morning before he went to get breakfast.

As Sebastion revealed that they were shopping for her, Luna froze in her place. Though, her big, worried eyes shifted up to look up at him. Discomfort settled in her, knowing that this was strictly against her own pack's rules. But it must have been clear what she was going to say as Bash told her to keep her mouth shut... And while Luna wasn't going to exactly complain, she felt confident enough that the man wouldn't want to hear it so she didn't say anything.

Luna felt conflicted, once again trying to choose if she should listen to her pack's orders or her kidnapper's. But as she looked out at the store and the racks upon racks of clothing, Luna could feel a tugging in her chest. She had always wanted to go in a store like this but never had been allowed to. And it was often that the girls in the pack tried to make their clothes like the ones the humans wore when they saw them in town. Besides... it wasn't like Luna wanted to wear the same clothes every day for as long as she was stuck with this pack.

Suddenly feeling overwhelmed at the opportunity to not only see and touch but to actually buy clothes just for herself, Luna started to cry. Her hands reached up to wipe the tears from her face but suddenly she started to cry a bit harder. "Can I really?" Luna asked him in between the tears. "Just for me? Y-you'll buy them for me?"

A little sniffle came to Luna as Sebastion reassured her that she could actually buy and take home and wear the clothes they got. As well as ensuring the fact that they were just for her and not for the girls in his pack. Once Luna was quite sure that he wasn't playing some cruel joke on her, Luna turned to the store. Her crying had let up for now but she still had to dab her eyes from time to time. Unlike before, where Luna was excitedly going through the store to just pull something off the rank, the girl moved slowly. She was thoughtful about the items that she was picking out, not wanting to accidentally pick something that would break right away. It took some time but soon Luna had small pile of things she was excited to wear. She then looked up to Sebastion nervously, worried that he might pull the carpet from under her. "Is this okay?"

@ BearGirl
A look of utter shock appeared on Sebastion's face as Luna started to outright ball her eyes out. Raising his head, Bash scanned the store, making sure that no one thought that he was abusing this girl. The last thing he needed was to get harassed by the females in this store for being a bad boyfriend or brother or whatever they thought that he was to Luna. Then he looked back towards Luna, a frown obvious on his lips. "I already told you I would. Why would I lie about that? You need clothes." He told her, not feeling very comfortable about this topic. Although, it did give him a little insight as to how her pack seemed to function.

Once Luna finally started to shop for herself, a small sigh escaped from Sebastion. He wasn't sure what he'd do if she refused to shop for herself. As he didn't know a damn thing about women and their taste in fashion. To Bash, just throwing on a shirt and some pants was good enough. For them though, it seemed like a freaking show every damn day or something like that.

Watching Luna grabbing clothes that she was interested in wearing, Bash nodded his head. At least it didn't take a lot to persuade her into buying shit. "That's fine. We can hit a few different stores another day. Alright?" Sebastion said as he reached out and grabbed the pile of clothes from Luna. "Come on Luna, let's pay, and then we can head out. Alright?" Bash said as he motioned for Luna to head to the registers so that they could pay. She might be acting good, but he was not going to let that fool him. As the heir to the pack, he needed to always be on his A-game, even when babysitting.

After paying for the clothes, which was more then what Bash expected, but he was using his dad's card and didn't care. They headed out of the store and Bash finally managed to build up the confidence to ask the question that he had been holding in. "So uh, I know you make your own clothes in your pack but are you really not allowed to buy clothes from stores?" He asked as they started to walk towards his truck to put the bags he was carrying for Luna away. "Do none of your packmates spoil you with random things?" He asked, curious as to rather she'd open up about her pack's dynamics.

He asked, curious as to rather she'd open up about her pack's dynamics.

@ FallenHope95

"Okay," Luna responded back quietly as he said they could go to different stores another day. Though her eyes were beginning to tear up at the thought of being able to go again. As he motioned for her to follow, Luna did so quickly, making sure to stay close to him like Bash wanted. And as he paid, a couple of tears ran down her cheeks. Causing her to take the ends of her shirt in her hands and dry her tears off with the cloth.

The woman only started to relax after everything was paid for and they were out of the store. She had been worried that Bash would change his mind or something similar but now... Well now Luna felt confident enough that the things were actually hers to keep. Though her fingers twitched slightly, wanting to hold the bags that Sebastion was now carrying for her. Her eyes were focused more on them than anything else.

Her eyes shifted up to Bash's face for a moment as he started to ask his questions. So she moved up next to him, holding onto the side of his shirt since his hands were now full. It had been too easy to forget that Sebastion didn't want her to get lost and preferred she hold on. "The only thing we're allowed to buy from stores is food," Luna responded. "I'll get in a lot of trouble buying clothes from a store... It's wasteful... But I..." Luna glanced down at the bags again, going silent for a moment. She didn't want to admit that she had broken the rules because she had really wanted them. So, instead, she continued on.

A little smile came along her lips at his next question. "Of course they do," Luna said with a little laugh. "For example, one of the girls is really good at making flower crowns so sometimes the guys come back from patrolling with flowers they picked so she can make them for us. One of the guys is really good at making leather journals so he'll make it for us when we've been extra good. And another time, some of guys set up an area for us to cuddle up and stargaze." As Luna said cuddle up, Luna leaned into into Bash's side and laid her head against his shoulder for a moment.

Though she then pulled away and turned back to him with a large smile. At that point they had reached the truck and Luna let go of Bash so he could put the bags away. But before he was able to close the door, Luna was quick to grab the sherpa sweatshirt and press her face against it for a moment. "But they can't buy us things or we'll become spoiled rotten." She let out a small hum before heading to the passenger seat of the car and sliding in.

@ BearGirl
The whole time Luna spoke, Sebastian couldn't help but to just purse his lips together. Her pack sounded a lot stricter then what he had originally thought. The males in her pack were practically keeping the females in the dark ages. Keeping them dumb and dependent so that they could control them easier. Like they were objects to enjoy when they wanted instead of treating them like normal werewolves, humans if they couldn't shift.

"What do you mean by spoiled rotten?" Bash asked once he climbed into the driver's side of his truck. He didn't turn it on as he relaxed back in his seat and just turned his head to look towards Luna. "Have you ever had anything for just yourself?" He asked, keeping himself calm as he spoke. His head tilting towards the side ever so slightly. Bash was doing his best to seem like this was a casual conversation, not like he was actually pressing her for information on how her pack functions. "You're not, take advantage of anything. Are you?" He asked, his shoulders tensing ever so slightly as he asked that question. Depending on Luna's answer, if she dared to, Bash might have to tell his father to send in men right away.

Not waiting for Luna to get the idea that she could dash because of all of the questions, Sebastion turned on his truck, which in turn caused the doors to lock. "Do you want to grab a bite to eat? We can go to a restaurant or we can get some fast food, it's up to you." Bash suggested as he pulled onto the main street that ran through the town. His eyes looking both ways before turning onto the street, being extra vigilant in case word got out that he had Luna with him. Even though it was beyond possibly for her packmates to get this deep into their territory, it was still a possibility.

@ FallenHope95

"It just means being bad," Luna told Sebastion as she set the sweatshirt down in her lap. Her fingers slowly moved against the soft material, just enjoying the feeling of it. "Like, you just don't listen anymore because you think the rules or below you... or something like that? I think they just say it because they mean that they don't want us to become ungrateful for the things we have." She gave him a little shrug.

Luna glanced over at Bash, feeling that his next question was an odd one. "Of course. The clothes that I make for myself are mine. Well... kinda." Luna let out a small laugh. "I share them with the girls in my pack but we all share. It's easier like that then you get one huge closet. But, like the journals that I mentioned before, we each get our own made for us. I like to use mine to draw." Luna let out a happy hum.

Confusion moved over her face and she looked to Sebastion, her head tilting. "Taken advantage of?" She asked, curiosity in her voice. "I don't know what you mean." Luna was quiet for a moment before then opened her mouth and said. "Oh! Like when you... no that's not it. What does that mean?"

A long hum left Luna as Sebastion asked about food. She wasn't used to getting food that wasn't made at home. They didn't really go out to eat... Though the coffee that they had was delicious and Luna wouldn't mind trying more. Besides... she would already be in trouble for shopping and food she would be given a break about considering she did have to eat. Plus, going out to eat would mean she could avoid Sebastion making her something. As long as a woman cooked it, everything was fine. "I would like something to eat. Either is fine with me!" She told him, knowing better than to give him an answer to what she preferred food-wise. Men were so particular about what they wanted to eat when.

@ BearGirl
Pursing his lips together, Sebastion just let things slide for a moment. His mind reeling about what Luna was telling him. She was so naive, too innocent to the workings of the world. That was a dangerous took, as well as an opening for him and his pack. If her pack was so behind in times, like it seemed, then that left them open to surprises. Hopefully, Luna didn't catch on to anything that Sebastion was trying to get out of her. At least, not while they were alone.

Pulling into the drive-through for Wendy's, Bash ordered two ten-piece chicken nuggets and large fries for them to share. As well as some pops and vanilla frosty. "I am about to show you something amazing." Bash said as he placed the drinks in the cup holders and past the bag of food and frosty to Luna. "Hold these until we get to a place to eat." He instructed, knowing that Luna wouldn't go against him. She was programmed to listen to men after all.

Bash drove the two of them a couple of miles down the street to an empty little park on the outskirts of town. A couple of picnic tables were set out along the pond that was a couple of feet from the gravel parking lot. "Alright, let's go eat." He said as he opened his door and grabbed the drinks. He went around to open Luna's door for her and then used his hip to close it once she was out. "Have you had ice cream before?" Bash asked as they walked to the picnic tables.

Setting the drinks down, Bash grabbed the napkins from the bags and laid them out on the table. Using the drinks to keep them from blowing away as he set the food out for them and keeping the frosty in the middle. "Alright." Bash said as he sat down and motioned for Luna to sit across from him. "You are going to taste one of the best things in the world." He said as he opened the frosty lid and set it in the bag to throw away later. "The ice cream cuts the fat and salt from the fries, it also enhances the flavors." Bash said as he knew that Luna would probably ask if this stuff was healthy. Grabbing a fry, Bash showed it to Luna and then dipped it into the vanilla ice cream before popping it into his mouth. Making sure to make a pleasing sound. "Delicious!" He said and then motioned for Luna to try.

@ FallenHope95

Luna glanced out of the window as they pulled up to a building. Her eyes widen as Sebastion ordered their food at a black box that was talking back. And once he pulled around to a window where a woman handed their food, a little gasp came from her. Luna moved forward a bit to look at the woman but before she could speak to her, Sebastion was handing her food and telling her to hold it.

With the bag, Luna pulled it into her lap and held onto the top of it, not wanting to accidentally smush whatever was inside. But she could smell the aroma coming from the bag and it caused her stomach to growl a bit. As for the frosty, it felt cold against her fingers. The young woman leaned over it slightly, wanting to see what was in the cup but there was a lid on it, to her dismay. As much as she wanted to open it, Luna didn't want to get in trouble with her kidnapper.

Luckily, it was soon when he parked the car and opened her door. Luna slid out of the car, leaving her new jacket inside to not get it dirty. She then followed him towards the tables. "Of course I have had ice cream!" Luna told him with a laugh. "What a strange question, who hasn't?"

Luna sat down at the table and set the bag in the middle of them. She watched as he pulled everything out and set it all down in what seemed like a very specific order. Her hands folded on top of her lap as she looked at the food. Her eyes glanced over the food, thinking about how fattening it was. The chicken wasn't bad but ice cream? The things he called fries though, she wasn't familiar with. But before she could voice her concerns about keeping her diet, Sebastion was already telling her how the fat and salt gets cut. So a little smile came along her face before she took a fry and dipped it into the vanilla. Her eyes lit up and she was quick to grab another one. "This is so good!!"

@ BearGirl
A small smile slowly played along Sebastion's lips as he watched Luna eat the fry with the frosty. It was most likely something that she would have never had otherwise. Her pack deeming it unhealthy and banning her from it. Like they seem to ban everything good and fun. "See, I told ya. It's good." Bash said and smiled as he took another fry and dipped it into the ice cream before he practically shoved the whole fry into his mouth.

Focusing on the food in front of them, Bash allowed a comfortable silence build between them. Every now and again, Bash'll glance up to make sure that Luna was eating before looking down at her food. It was nice to see her eating something other than cereal. The girl was breaking skin and bones. How she was even able to walk was a mystery to Bash. Then again, he didn't know if they got their food rationalized or not. Could her pack be so badly run that they don't have any food for their members? The idea didn't sit well with Bash, but at least it meant that it'd be easy to take them over if they needed to.

"So." Sebastion started, his mind going around what they were talking about before getting cut off by ordering food. "Going back to what we were talking about earlier." Bash popped his last chicken nuggets into his mouth and brushed the crumbs off of his hands and onto the table. "The men in the pack, they don't like. Hurt you in any way, do they? I mean, doing things that make you feel uncomfortable?" Bash arched an eyebrow as he looked at Luna, wondering if she would get where his train of thought was. If she was abused in any sort of way, then there was no way she was going to be sent back home to them.

Slowly, Bash ran his tongue over his lips as he studies Luna. Making sure that she didn't get the idea to bolt. She's been good since they got to town, but all of that could change in a heartbeat. She was still a member of the enemy pack after all, so letting his guard down would be a terrible idea. Especially if she decided to attack when his back was turned to her. She may be sweet, but that didn't mean she wasn't a backstabber.

@ FallenHope95

Luna's movements stopped for a moment when Sebastion started to mention her pack hurting her and making her uncomfortable. Her eyes lifted up, looking over his face before dropping back down to the food in front of her. Luna tried to calm herself though she felt her heart beginning to pound. Her hands dropped to her thighs and she rubbed her palms against them. She didn't know what to say to him. Why was he even asking her this? He was just another man. Was he asking because he wanted to hurt her? No that didn't make sense but this wasn't sitting right with her. And she certainly didn't know what to say.

"Of course not," Luna lied. Though it didn't sit well with her. She knew the punishment for lying. Her leg started bouncing nervously. Luna didn't know the punishments here yet and she didn't want to know. Luna wasn't part of his pack so she only worried that it would be twice as cruel. But she couldn't tell Sebastion about the inner intimate workings for her pack, even though his was probably the same.

"They take care of me and love me. They would never do that - I mean not on purpose. Accidents happen sometimes and...um" Luna continued to lie. Though she could feel the words spilling out of her mouth and Luna wished she would stop talking. But it just kept going, trying to convince Sebastion what she was saying was true. Was she even good at this? Good at lying, Luna didn't know, she had only lied a few times in her life and been punished heavily for it each time.

"I mean the worst thing is them being a little too rough in bed," Luna let out an awkward laugh but all she could really hear was her inner voice screaming at her. Why did she say that? Why was she bringing THAT up? Why wasn't she shutting up! Her heartbeat was just rising and Luna could swear all she could hear was the blood rushing around in her head. "You know what I mean, like getting too excited is all... but no, they don't. They would never hurt me. All of the men in our pack care about me and protect me. They care about everyone."

Luna could feel herself spirling and all she could hope is that Sebastion didn't somehow know and this was some kind of test. It wasn't like the men wanted to hurt her. She knew they didn't like having to, they always said they hated having to do it. But they had rules and if she broke them, there were punishments. God, she hated those punishments. But Bash couldn't know about them, right? How would he even know? No, there was no way he did. Please let this be the one lie she could get away with.

"I am done eating so when you want to go..."

@ BearGirl
Sitting up straighter on the bench seat, Bash pursed his lips together. He was not happy about what he was hearing. No woman should be scared. Let alone be hurt in her own bed. It pissed Bash off that Luna had to go through that, all of the females in her pack. Hell, she was scared to even look at her own shadow wrong. Whatever these women went through, Sebastion would make sure that he and his pack would help them. They wouldn't just sit by anymore and let these males hurt the ones that they are supposed to be protecting. It's the twenty-first century after all. They needed to get with the times.

Slowly, Bash closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. His head shaking a little bit as he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes with his thumb and pointer finger. This was getting to much for him. He needed to inform his father and the elders of what Luna was hinting at. This was way worst then what he had originally thought. Then, as Sebastion lowered his hand he looked towards Luna as he rested his arms on the picnic table. "You don't have to fear me hurting you, Luna. If you don't like something, just tell me, alright?" Bash said as he started to gather up their garbage and put it into the bag so that it was easier to throw away.

Then, standing up, Bash pulled out his car keys and unlocked the truck from their spot. "Alright, let's head back," Sebastion said and motioned for Luna to come and follow once more. "Do you want to watch a movie once we get back? Or go back to your room?" Sebastion asked as he threw the garbage away as they passed by a garbage can. The contents of the bag making a small clunk as it landed in the empty tin can that was being used as a trash can.

Walking up to his truck, Sebastion opened the passenger side door for Luna and held it open. He even offered her a hand to help her get in. She was an abused little she-wolf and he was going to start showing her how a real man should treat a woman. Just like how his father showed him, he would not lay a hand on her. She may be a captive for the time being, but hopefully, with time, he will get her to trust him and the pack. Hopefully, she'll realize that her birth pack is fucked up beyond belief and she could stay with them and be safe.

Once Luna was in the truck, Bash went around to the driver's side and got in. He gave Luna a small glance before he started the short drive home. There was so much he wanted to ask her still but, it wasn't the time. He didn't want to push her.

@ FallenHope95

"Yes Mis- I will, thank you." Luna whispered, tripping over her words. She had felt like she was back at home for a moment until she realized who she was talking to again. They always promised not to hurt her. Always told her that they didn't want to do it, or it was just an accident or whatever they wanted to say that week. It didn't really matter. Luna knew that Bash didn't mean what he said. If she was honest and told him that she didn't like something, it would just upset Sebastion. But that was okay. It was just how the world worked and Luna knew that she deserved the punishments that came her way. And she knew that men didn't actually want to hurt her either. It was just hard for them to control themselves. It wasn't their fault she was so fragile. As for Sebastion, it was just a matter of time before he took or did whatever he wanted with her.

As Sebastion took the time to clean up their area, Luna sat there in silence and waited patiently. All she wanted in that moment was to be hidden away in her comfy prison. Her heart was still pounding from lying and right now, Luna couldn't believe that she might be getting away with it all. What was he going to say if he found out the truth? Was there even a way for him to do so? Hopefully she'll be back with her pack before he did. Just the thought of an outsider punishing her filled Luna with dread and she became smaller because of it.

At the motion, Luna basically jumped off of the bench, not wanting to make Bash wait for her. He started to walk and Luna did the same. Though at his question as to what she wanted to do, her head started to spiral. Would it be suspicious if she wanted to go to her room? She just wanted to make some space between them. Besides, she had no idea what a movie even was. What if she was agreeing to something horrible? Wait, but what if going back to her room meant that he would come with? Luna knew her duty to men but she couldn't wrap her head around servicing one right now.

When they got to the truck, Luna hesitated as Bash offered his hand. But she placed hers into his after a moment and climbed in. Once she was inside and her seatbelt was buckled, Luna took the soft sweatshirt and hugged it to her body as she laid her head on stop of it. She just needed to get back to the house and hopefully get some time alone. Luna just needed all of this lying nonsense out of her head. "I just want to...to go to my room and take a nap." Luna whispered, her head slowly turning to look over at Bash, her eyes filled with the worry that she didn't know how to hide. "Is that okay?"

@ Sweet.Persephone
A small shrug of his shoulders was Bash's answer to Luna's question, although that odd look she was giving him didn't go unnoticed as she spoke. "That's fine with me." Bash said casually as he started the truck and started to drive back to his house. "If you're tired, then that's fine. You don't need to look so worried." He said, trying to make the young female less scared then what she seemed to be. It was headache-inducing how scared of everything Luna seemed to be. As well as how naive she was, one wrong thing and she could take it the wrong way completely.

Once they were back at the house, Bash hopped out of the truck and went to Luna's side to open the door for her like he's been doing. He wanted to make sure that she started to get the hint that guys weren't all bad and needed things in return. Some want to just be kind. Which in turn, will hopefully get her to want to stay with them instead of going to her original pack.

"You one hundred percent certain that you want to take a nap instead of watching a movie with me?" Sebastion asked, just making sure as they walked into the front of the house. "I can make some popcorn or something." He glanced towards the vast collection that they had in the living room against the wall. "No pressure though, if you want to nap. Then go ahead." Bash added, just to make sure that Luna knew that she had a choice and he was just checking in on her wants.

@ FallenHope95

At Sebastion's words, Luna tried to calm her face to look less worried. Though, despite Luna thinking that she had succeeded, it was still clear as day on her face. Her chest was feeling like a crumpled up paper and all Luna wanted was to hide, to think things through for a moment but they still had the car ride back. She buried her face into the soft sweatshirt, trying to calm herself down. Luna was getting ahead of herself. Sebastion barely reacted to what she said nor did it seem he realized she had lied. She needed to calm down.

She lifted her head up when Bash opened up her door for her. Once again, Luna looked at his hand before accepting the offer of help down and out of the truck. Luna lifted her eyes up when Bash asked her about the movie again and her stomach was beginning to twist. Was he trying to give her an opportunity to tell him the right answer or did he really just want to know? She closed her eyes for a moment. No, she was just spiraling. Sebastion even said that she could take a nap. So she took a small breath before turning her attention back to him and responding. "I don't know what a movie is," Luna said gently. "But I'm just tired right now. I...I want to take a nap and then maybe shower after."

Luna glanced back at the front door for a moment before looking back at Sebastion. The clothes he had bought her were still in the trunk of the car, but at least she took the sweatshirt with her. Something she could change into. "We can watch a movie afterward if you want?" Once Bash replied, Luna made her way to the room she had been laying in the night before, assuming that was 'her' room for the time being. Once the door was closed, a huge sigh of relief left her. She had said too much which was so stupid of her. But it seemed like she didn't say anything wrong or gave away too much pack information as Sebastion didn't react much. Which was good. Luna didn't want to get blamed for giving away pack intimacies.

@ Sweet.Persephone
Lips purse lightly, head tilting to the side ever so slightly. This girl was like a trapped kitten. Forced to be locked in a box without any sort of chance to experience life, love, or any sort of happiness. What the hell did she get to experience in her pack? Was the only fun she was allowed to make clothing for her pack members or something fucked up like that? It's sad, really, really fucking sad. But, she didn't seem to think anything of it so, did he really have anything to say? He didn't want to make Luna upset. Especially since she started to trust him.

Forcing a small smile, Bash gave the young girl a small shrug of his shoulders. "A movie is moving pictures on a screen. The people act out an imaginary story. They can be funny, scary, or anything really depending on what genre you're interested in seeing." Bash explained as he let Luna's hand go slowly once she was out of the truck. "Go nap, we can watch a movie later tonight once you're more relaxed." He told her, watching for a minute to make sure she went into the house before he grabbed her bags from the back of his truck. Then, Sebastion started to carry them inside. Lining them up along the wall outside of her room so she could see them once she got up as there was no way in hell he'd barge into her room.

Once the bags were all inside, Sebastion walked to the living room and flopped onto the couch. The window that was in Luna's room had been locked while they were away, there was no way for her to open it. Turning the TV on with the remote, Bash put on Netflix and started to watch The Boys. It was a terrible show, but at least it was unique and kept him entertained.

In truth, Luna could not say that she felt all that better once she was away from Sebastion. After all, he was only downstairs and if he were to realize that she lied... Well it would be all too easy for him to come up and punish her. But the distance gave her a chance to breath, to attempt to calm herself down before she got herself caught. There was no reason for Sebastion to learned the truth. He knew nothing of her pack, so how would he learn? And certainly her pack would never tell him, certainly they would be furious if she did tell him. Luna had made the right decision, all she needed to do was stop panicking.

It took her some time but she managed to calm herself down with some deep breaths. At which point, Luna undressed and crawled into the bed. She was exhausted. It had been hard to sleep the night, having known that they were guarding outside of her room. Though now the call for rest was beginning too strong. It had been a long day, so much had happened... Luna fell asleep thinking over the events of the last 24 hours.

When she woke up two hours later, Luna made her way to the shower, happily seeing the clothes outside of her door on her way. She showered and dressed, wearing the fuzzy sweatshirt and a black skirt. It was nothing like what she used to wear. It actually covered her up. But it was so cute and warm. As she nuzzled her face into the sweatshirt, Luna made her way downstairs to Sebastion. After all, she did say she would watch that movie thing with him. Though when she saw the tv on in the living room, Luna stopped on the stairs and stared at it with wide eyes. It was the thing the men watched and she worried he would turn it off when he noticed her.

It was a little after dinner when Bash's parents both asked for him to bring Luna into the kitchen. He had spoken to them through texts about what had gone on and they had talked about things together. Ushering the two younger wolves out of the kitchen so that they could talk. Now, it seemed like the time to sit together had arrived. A neutral expression was on both of their faces so Bash really had no idea what to make of anything, so, he just offered Luna a small smile as he sat across from his mother. Leaving Luna having to sit across from his Alpha, aka his father.

The atmosphere in the room isn't particularly harsh since his father was smiling, but Bash could read the man like a fiddle. His smile wasn't meeting his eyes and his eyes didn't have that shine in them. He was putting on an act to try and calm Luna down, but honestly. He was almost certain that the poor girl was having an anxiety attack just because he was the Alpha and not her temporary guardian.

"How was your day, Luna? Was Sebastian nice to you?" Bash's father asked the young female, giving his son a warning look before looking back towards the young female. "I hope he didn't cause you to much trouble, he can be a handful sometimes." Bash's mouth fell open at that little teasing remark. "Hey!" He tried to defend himself but Bash's father just waved him off. "Have you been to school before?" The Alpha asked, wanting to cut to the chase. He wasn't going to bring up any of his concerns about her upbringing, but this'll be a good way to slowly gauge her reactions to things.

When Luna was suddenly ushered into the kitchen and sat down across the alpha, she felt as though she would be sick. Her heart was beating so fast and her stomach was getting tied up into knots. Had she done something wrong? Did Sebastion realize she had lied and now the alpha was going to punish her? Maybe he just didn't like her new clothes today. After all, they were nothing like she normally wore. But whatever the reason, Luna was just hoping this would be over soon. Gods, her heart was beating so fast, was she going to die from this? Just the fear alone?

Once Luna was settled down into the seat across from him, she made sure to keep her head and eyes down. This was to do her best from meeting his eyes or just looking at the alpha in a way that would upset him. She didn't want to do that. Especially as the man was clearly already irritated by something she did to call a meeting. But, she would take a moment to glance up at him every so often to check his expression. Right now, the man seemed happy but that made little sense. Why was he smiling at her?

"It was okay," Luna spoke softly, knowing better than to speak too loud to an alpha. "Sebastion took me to a store...and got me clothes. He was very kind to me." She started to pull at the edges of her sweatshirt out of nervousness. As far as the day could have gone, Luna knew that Sebastion had been extremely kind to her. After all, he had only spoken nicely and at no point did he feel like he had to punish her. "No, Alpha." Luna told him in regards to school. "I don't have a need for it,"
