Unknowingly Lost

@ Sweet.Persephone
A small sound escaped from the Alpha. The sound meaning to seem pleased, but who knows how the young girl that was seemingly abused in her home pack would act. "He bought you clothes? That's very kind of him." Bash's dad said, looking at his son as he spoke and giving him a small nod of approval. The Alpha had given Sebastian his credit card earlier to do that, and to his surprise, he didn't use it for stupid shit like video games or movies make the older man happy.

"How old are you, Luna?" The Alpha asked, not able to remember if he had been told her age or not before. Either way, it wouldn't hurt to be refreshed of her age. "Why do you think you don't need to go to school?" Bash asked, truly curious and looking at the girl with his head tilted slightly. Trying to not seem threatening as he asked her a simple question. Giving his son a small warning look to be careful, the Alpha looked towards Luna to see if she would answer or not. "Would you like to go to school? Meet others your age? Make friends?" The Alpha asked, hoping to get the girl to open up a little bit.

Glancing towards his wife for a moment, the Alpha took in a deep breath and then continued to speak. "I'd like to send you to Saint Marco's with Sebastian while you stay here." The Alpha said, his tone sounding stern, but it didn't have any trace of annoyance or anger to it. "While things are getting settled, I want you to get an education. It's one of the finest Private schools in the state. I think you'll like it there."

"17," Luna responded. "But I am turning 18 in two days." Her eyes lifted up for a moment to look at the Alpha once she told him. Hopefully, she would be allowed to go back before her birthday. The celebration that they had was nice for every birthday but it was especially special for when one turned 18... The pack would be disappointed if she were not there for it. Though who knew if the alpha would even allow her to celebrate with how much trouble she was surely in now.

"No, sir." Luna told the alpha before she continued on to explain further. "Only the boys go in my pack. There is nothing of value for the girls to learn so we stay home. The women teach us what is essential to the pack's survival. I know how to cook, bake, clean, forge for food, care for the animals, please the men and make clothes and other items."

When the man revealed that he wanted to send her to the same school as Sebastian, her head shot up and her eyes widen. Now she was actually meeting his eyes. "Please, no. Please. I-I know I can't go back to my pack yet b-but I am surely already in enough trouble, I wouldn't want to make it worse by going somewhere I don't belong. And I don't understand why you would want me to go there? I have already been taught by the respected women in my pack."

@ Sweet.Persephone
The usual casual smile that was on the Alpha's, his mates, and Sebastian's lips all faltered as the girl from the rival pack spoke. What she thought was useful things she learned was appalling. It was mind-blowing, straight out of this world terrible. The fact that this seventeen-year-old girl was taught to please men at such an age was unthinkable. Let alone the idea of it being taught to them.

A small growl escaped from the Alpha, snapping Bash and his mother out of their shocked stated. Bash looked down at his lap and then away. Not sure what to do at the moment. His mother on the other hand offered Luna a small smile. "Luna." Bash's mother spoke, her voice calm and warm. Motherly, as she spoke to the young girl. Giving her husband a dark sideways glance for a moment before looking back towards the young girl. A small sad smile upon her lips. "We just feel like it'd be a nice way for you to get out while you're here. It'll be better than being locked in a room while no one else's around." She did her best to offer a small smile. "Learning about the world is another way a woman can help, we're more than just objects for me."

Turning her head, Bash's mother looked towards her husband. "Honey, can you get me a glass of wine?" She asked her tone in that warm tone still. The Alpha said nothing as he silently got up. He walked to where they kept the wine glasses and set it on the counter. "Oh, and two cubes of ice, please." The Alpha didn't day anything as he went to the fridge and did as his wife asked without complaining. "Do you want white or red?" The Alpha asked as he grabbed two cubes of ice and put them into the glass. "I'm feeling red tonight." A couple of moments later, the Alpha came back over with the glass of wine. He then leaned over and placed a small kiss on his mate's lips. "Anything else while I'm up?" Bash's mother smiled and shook her head before looking back towards Luna.

"By custom, you're still a pup as twenty-one is considered an adult in our pack." Bash's mother said softly. "My husband wants you to learn, and be a normal teenager while you're here. So, you will go. Who knows, you might enjoy learning about history or Math, or even English will be of interest to you."

The moment the alpha started to growl, Luna's head dropped right now, looking to the floor. Her chest was clenched tight and she felt as though she could barely breath. She knew what those growls meant. Luna was about to get punished. And worse, it would be by an alpha that wasn't her own. He would be cruel to her. Why did she have to argue with him? It would have been better to simply say yes. She didn't want to go to that dumb school but she should have just done it. Luna closed her eyes tightly, tears starting to fall as she waited.

But, instead of the alpha's wrath, she was met with a warm voice. It took her a moment but she finally lifted her head up to meet Mama Rose's eyes. Tears were still streaming down her cheeks but Luna was feeling the slightest bit better about her odds of not getting hurt. A little confusion came over her face when she mentioned being more than an object for men. Luna didn't feel like she was one. Why did Mama Rose think that? Though even more confusion came over her crying face when the alpha started taking orders from the woman. She had seen it before but it was still a strange sight to behold. Especially as the alpha was clearly upset. Why would he still listen to her when he was that angry?

"Yes, I'll go. I'm sorry," Luna whimpered, a soft whine leaving her after she said it. She felt like a dog that had just been kicked. "I'm sorry," She also said in the alpha's direction, but keeping her head and eyes down as she did so. At this point, Luna was desperate to be dismissed. Normally, she would ask if she could go but she was already so close to crossing the line that she didn't want to make it worse. Though she found that it was difficult to follow the rules here as well as keep up her own pack's traditions. It seemed impossible.

@ Sweet.Persephone
That night was one of the most awkward conversations that he had ever over heard. To think that a back was so backwashed and still kept women out of school. Teaching them to do household shit like it was the freaking stone age. Like they weren't anything but fuck bags and maids. It was sad, and Bash was happy that his parents had forced to to start his school. Luna needed to see what a real school was life. To meet friends, to act like a fucking teenager and have some fun. She was so uptight, it was kind of sad.

Fixing his uniforms tye, Sebastian walked out of his room and walked towards Luna's. He raised his right hand and knocked a few times. Making sure that she had changed after breakfast like she said she was going to do. "You ready?" He called, waiting for a moment to see if Luna would reply and then stepping back to give her some room to come out if she was. Today was the first day of school and he was so freaking nervous for Luna. The only good thing is that she'll be in all of his classes, thanks to his father's sway to the school board. As well as a charitable donation to the sport programs.

Arching an eyebrow, Bash pursed his lips as he waited a couple of mor moments. "You know, you're only going to get us in trouble if you're dragging your feet." Bash said, wanting to leave and not stand around all day. "You're new, so you'll get a pass, but Mr.Dugger is going to have my ass for being late on the first day. Even if it because I'm helping the new transfer."

@ FallenHope95

Luna let out a little huff when she heard Sebastion trying to get her out of the door faster. She had been trying her best to find an appropriate way to wear the uniform but it just wasn't working. How were the girls suppose to make this look sexy and cute? It wasn't working right but Luna had finally pick a way to wear it that she could live with.

The skirt, shoes and knee high socks all looked the same as anyone else's uniform might. But Luna had totally changed the top from what it was meant to be. The blazer was open and hanging loosely around her shoulders. The white shirt was button all the way down to right before her bra was to show off her cleavage. And she had taken the bottom part of the shirt up, tying it into a knot to show a little of a midriff. And the tie was just completely gone. The outfit was a little uncomfortable but Luna guessed that it had to be right.

So, she grabbed the new backpack she was given and walked out of her room. Luna shifted her attention to Sebastion. "I'm ready to go," She told him gently. It was an understatement to say that she wasn't excited. Luna had been dreading this since she was told she had to go. School was not meant for her. And with how the boys complained, Luna didn't want to be there. But, even so, she decided to try and be good in order to avoid punishment. Luna still couldn't believe how close she was only for the alpha to change his mind.

@ Sweet.Persephone
As soon as that door opened, Bash knew that he was going to get a headache. His dark eyes trailed up and down the girl, taking in her outfit. How she barely buttoned her shirt, showing off her chest and her lower stomach area. The amount of skin this girl was showing and seemed comfortable doing was mind-blowing. If she was another girl, his tail would be wagging and he'd want to hit that, but. Knowing Luna and where she came from, this was not okay. Very not okay.

"You can't wear your uniform like this." Bash straight up said. His head shaking back and forth ever so slightly as he raised his gaze to look into hers. A movement of authority. He was the next Alpha, he was the one who brought her here. Even though he's been nice, he's not going to let her make a fool of herself or him. "You need to straighten your shirt and button it all the way." He told her, motioning to the tied part and then her cleavage showing. "People are going to stare, and not because they think you're attractive." He knew he sounded like a dick, but Bash was trying to save Luna from the harshness of high school.

A small sigh escaped from the slightly older boy as he raised his right hand and ran it through his hair. "Please button your blazer as well." He told her and stayed in his spot until Luna listened to him. Then, he gently grabbed her hand and started to lead her towards his truck. Helping her in like usual, and making sure to look away in case she accidentally flashed him.

@ FallenHope95

Once Sebastion started to nitpick at the uniform, she looked down at it. Why couldn't she wear her uniform like this? It did not make any sense and she didn't understand. Though Luna knew she didn't understand why she had to wear these clothes either. They were ugly. It was just explained that everyone wore them but that just confused the pup even more. She hadn't argued and just took the clothes but she still simply did not understand. So, at first, she started to button where the man had told her to. Though the moment he said that she was unattractive, her fingers stopped. Luna's head shot up and she looked at him, completely shocked that he would say such a thing to her.

At first, tears started to swell up in her eyes, feeling as though she was going to just start sobbing. But a feeling of frustration and fury started to rise in her and before Luna even realized what she was doing, she was switching into her wolf form and his arm was in her mouth. Luna was biting down hard enough that it would hurt him, drawing some blood in the process, but not so much that it would cause any injury besides teeth marks. Sure, Sebastion would have to clean himself up and get some gauze but that would be about it.

Though as his arm was in her mouth, a light growing came from her, and the fur all the way down her back was sticking straight up. Luna was furious. How dare he saw she was ugly! She wasn't ugly! Clearly, he was blind!

@ Sweet.Persephone
It felt good seeing Luna starting to do as she was told without much effort on his part. Meaning that Sebastian could release a small sigh of relief inside of himself. Maybe getting Luna to come to school with him wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. Maybe she was actually excited and just didn't know how to wear the uniform correctly? And he had to tell her how, yeah. He was good at telling others what to do.

Then, Bash sensed it before he felt it. The sharp pain of fangs snapping at his arm, the familiar tug of k9's ripping at flesh. A growl of his own escaped from Bash as his eyes changed from their usual calm brown to intense golden color. Staring straight into the eyes of the wolf that was in front of him. Biting at him and ruining the uniform's jacket. In the span of a second, Bash shifted into his own wolf form. As he was not one to back down, even if it was a female antagonizing him. Especially if it was a female from another pack that was fucked up in the head.

In wolf form, Luna was holding onto his right leg still, so Bash used the opportunity to go after her own leg. Using his larger size and body weight to slam into her as he moved forward. Wanting her to back up and eventually be cornered if possible. He was not going to let her get away with it. He needed to remind her that he was the son of an Alpha and not some random male she could try and threaten.

The growling from Sebastian intensified as his golden eyes looked through the corner into Luna's. Daring her to keep going, daring her to push his buttons and make him really use his force against her. Because he will, he'll show her that he wasn't one to be messed with. He may be kind, but he was also a leader.

@ FallenHope95

The moment Sebastion started to push back was the moment that Luna was able to regain control of herself. Fear was already in her when she looked into his intense gold wolf eyes, her own blue eyes looking back. But she didn't let go of his leg until the man body slammed her. Once he was released from her jaw, Luna was backing up. Her tail in between her legs and her head was down. There were times when the wolf side took control, like when Luna was no longer thinking of the rational side of herself. It happened often enough to the women in her pack that Luna knew what had happened. Though, unbeknownst to her, it was typically only pups that were unable to control their wolf as they were young and not fully trained yet.

Luna was whimpering as she backed up until she hit the wall. Feeling that she was cornered, the young woman shifted back into her human form. Hoping that Sebastion would no longer try to fight her when she was no longer a wolf.

When she shifted, her butt was on the ground and her back was against the wall. Tears were running down her cheeks but was quickly hidden when she pulled her knees into her chest and her head into her knees, forming almost a tight ball. "I'm sorry," Luna cried to him. "I'm sorry, I-I'll c-c-change." The woman held her knees into her body tighter when she said that. It seemed that she was going to have to accept that Sebastion thought she was so ugly that she had to cover up.

@ Sweet.Persephone
Yet another growl ripped from Sebastian as he watched Luna shifting back into her human form. Then followed suit a couple of seconds after her. His right hand replacing his jaw as he kneeled in front of the girl and glared at her with his dark eyes. His head shaking ever so slightly in disappointment at what had just happaned. It was weird as fuck and so out of the fucking blue. He was not expecting that sort of thing to have happaned. Then again, he barely even knew Luna. Like, really knew her.

"What the hell happaned?" He asked, his voice stern as he stared the young girl down. Not caring that she was visibly shaking or not. Bash needed an answer and he needed one now. It was not right for a wolf to suddenly shift and bite. Especially when they weren't a little pup who didn't know any better. "Look at me Luna, why did you attack me?" Bash asked, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly in annoyance. "I was just asking you to fix your clothing. You would of gotten a point for your dress code violations." His head shook as he scuffed.

Releasing his hold on Luna, Bash sighed as he stood up. He dusted off his uniform jacket sleeves. They were slightly ruffled but weren't ripped or anything. Although, there was a wet mark on them in the shape of a dog bite. "Come on, get up Luna. We need to go." He said as he stepped back so that Luna could stand up and fix her uniform.

@ FallenHope95

"M-My wolf took over." Luna whimpered, her voice slightly mumbled as her face was still pressed into her knees. Though when he commanded her to look up at him, Luna slowly lifted her head up until she was looking him in the eyes. Her eyes were fluttering as the tears continued down her cheeks, ruining the makeup she had done that morning. The young wolf seemed to just sink down into the wall further, feeling quite terrible about having lost control. She was surprised that he wasn't already beating her.

"You said..." Luna drifted off for a moment, knowing that she was not supposed to blame the men when they did something she didn't like. It was wrong to point such things out, wrong to tell them that they upset her or that they were wrong about something. But he was asking directly why and lying or avoiding a question was a worse offense. "You said I wasn't attractive." Luna continued on, her voice much smaller than before as she explained. "My wolf side was upset and I lost control. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Sebastion. I won't let it happen again."

When Sebastion moved back and told her to get up, Luna was quick to scramble onto her feet. Then she tried to move her shaky hands as fast as possible to undo the shirt and put it on as Sebastion had before. At which point, Luna wrapped the blazer around her body, covering herself up as he had wanted. Her head was now bowed down, no longer looking Sebastion in the eyes. In truth, she was still waiting for her punishment.

@ Sweet.Persephone
Complete confusion flashed across Sebastion's face as he listened to Luna. His head tilted to the side, Lips falling downwards at the corner as a small frown slowly appeared upon his lips. "When did I ever call you unattractive?" He asked, arching an eyebrow and tilting his head ever so slightly. Not understanding where this girl's head could be going with anything that he says.

Then, a small sigh escaped from the wolf as he slowly raised a hand and ran it through his hair. His eyes slowly trailing back to Luna as he watched her. She was like a kid to the outside world, so naive and innocent. As well as reckless. Surely, she's not going to make his life easy. Removing the hand that was on his head, Bash placed it on top of Luna's and ruffled her hair like she was a young pup who was getting praised for something. "You're a handful." Bash mumbled as he ruffled her hair, then dropped his hand by his side.

"Why don't don't we go, you can fix your make-up in the truck." Bash said as he slowly reached out and grabbed one of Luna's hands. Sebastian started to slowly tug on her arm, waiting for her to follow him before he started to lead her out towards his vehicle. "High school is a scary place. There's a lot of animals there, so keep your wits about you. I won't be able to keep them at bay when I'm not around. Alright?" Bash said as he opened Luna's door her.

@ FallenHope95

"You said people were going to stare and not because I was attractive," Luna explained to him, a deep frown still embedded in her face. "And you wanted me to cover up. Only the girls who are ugly are told to cover up. You think I'm ugly."

As he reached down, Luna closed her eyes tightly, expecting him to hit her or grab her for her punishment. Though, instead, all she felt was his hand on top of her head as he ruffled her hair. Her eyes slowly opened up and looked over at the man, confusion over her face. None of this made any sense. She literally bit him and all he was saying was that she was a handful.... When he reached out his hand, Luna took it and started to follow him outside and towards his truck.

"Aren't you going to punish me?" Luna asked him once she got into the truck. It wasn't that she wanted to get punished. She certainly didn't. But the more she was around Sebastion and his pack, the less it made sense to her. They never did anything the way she was expecting... Not once had they even asked her to help. And they barely asked about her own pack. Why weren't they interrogating her? Or just beating her for fun? Or forcing her to work? Sure, she was forced to go to school but that wasn't exactly what she was expecting. None of it was what her alpha explained would happen if they were captured. At this point, Luna was just asking because she didn't understand what was going on in this place.

@ Sweet.Persephone
As Bash got into his truck, his mouth opened and then closed as he listened to Luna. Then, he slowly shook his head. Finally understanding what she was talking about. She was one of the most naive girls he had ever seen. "So, what I meant was that guys who can't control themselves would think that you're easy. That you'd willingly let them use you. You aren't an object, Luna, and I don't want others to get that idea about you. That's why I told you to get covered. Not because you're not attractive. You are very attractive." His eyes weren't on Luna as he said that stuff. Instead, he was pulling out of the driveway and was making sure he didn't hit their mailbox for the hundredth time.

Once he was safely on the road though, he did offer her a small smile. "Are you a masochist?" Sebastian asked as he looked forward and started to drive them to school. "What is up with you and punishments?" Bash glanced at her as he leaned back in his truck. One had on the steering wheel as the other rested on the center console. "What would you want to have done? Or expect to happen?"

One question at a time, not pressing Luna like she was a dangerous enemy. This was the best way to get information from her. They understood that from the first day Bash brought her in. She was scared and timid. Surely, helping her feel comfortable and safe was a better punishment than anything they'd do to a crazed male from her pack.

@ FallenHope95

Her head tilted to the side as the man started to explain why he wanted her to dress a certain way. It definitely did not make sense to her. Men never could control themselves, that was just how it was. And she didn't understand what he meant by easy or that they would use her. Though her nose scrunched when he said she wasn't an object. Why were they saying that again? Mama Rose and now Sebastion? What did they think she looked like? A pencil? But once he confirmed that she was attractive, Luna was able to calm down again. His reasoning was nonsensical and silly but at least it was all cleared up now. So she turned to the mirror in the car and started to fix her makeup.

"No," Luna responded as he asked if she was a Masochist. "I don't want to get punished...But I did bite you and you didn't really do anything." Her head shifted and she looked at him, her eyes softening up. "I don't want you to do anything, Sebastion. But you, and Mama Rose and the alpha let so much slide. I don't understand." Luna hesitated for a moment before continuing on. She didn't want to talk about the punishments in her pack but there was something else she could say. "My alpha said you all would be so mean. Why am I not locked up in a closet somewhere? Or tortured for information? You all force me to do such strange things but none of it is what I expected. Why am I still here? What do you want from me?"

The woman looked over him for a long moment. Nothing about this pack and their rules made any sense to her. It was all so strange from the beginning and she had been thinking about it the whole time. Though, now she was finally feeling brave enough to ask. After all, if Sebastion wouldn't even punish her after biting him, surely he wouldn't do something because she asked him some questions. Was this pack just weak-willed? "I feel like... I feel like I could burn down your house and nothing would happen."

@ Sweet.Persephone
"I bit you back and slammed you against the wall in my wolf form. Isn't that enough?" Sebastian asked as he glanced at the young girl that was sitting next to him in the car. The right corner of his lips raised into a small smirk. "You think we let things slide?" A small chuckle escapes from Bash. "You're more of a pup than I thought, Luna." Bash reached over and ruffled her hair once again. Treating her like a child.

"True, we're not the most ruthless pack out there, but we aren't pushed over's Luna don't make us out to be." Bash focused on the road. "We've killed traitors, we've locked people up from other packs and tortured them, but. We also know there is also a way to get info out of people without brute force. An more time than none, showing a little kindness goes a lot longer way than force. A lot of members in our pack are actually from outside packs. We take others in, show them that working together is better than going against everyone."

Then, Bash couldn't help but let out a laugh at what Luna said. "If, if you try and burn down my parent's house, you'll be locked up for arson sweetheart." Bash said as he looked over at Luna with amusement. "That is something that isn't forgivable. Biting someone because they piss you off, isn't worthy of being beat or locked up for."

@ FallenHope95

Luna's eyes narrowed in confusion for a moment before her face relaxed but a frown came over her face. "Oh..." She said softly before glancing out of the window. It was clear that they did things differently here than what her alpha expected. But, nonetheless, Sebastion had made it clear that he was trying to get information out of her. Instead, they were just being nice about it. More on the side of manipulation and less on the side of torture. "I guess that makes sense." Of course, she preferred the manipulation but it was still a bit sad to know that they were only being nice to get what they wanted from her. It seemed that her alpha was right about the packs around them just wanting intel.

At least the rules here still seemed less strict. Less lightly to be locked away, beaten up, or hurt in some other way. It seemed that she could get away with a lot here. Luna bit down on her bottom lip as she thought about just how much she could get away with under Sebastion's supervision. All the treats she wanted and he wouldn't say a word? Maybe she could even lie to him? Would Sebastion even allow her to talk to outsiders? The idea of pushing her luck was starting to seem like a good idea. And, her pack was nowhere to be seen here... Without his pack telling them what she had done, which was seemingly more and more unlikely by the day, would it really be such a bad idea to do things that she had always wanted to do? Though it was seeming that she did have to keep her lips locked tighter than she had previously thought.

"I won't burn down your house then," Luna told him after a moment. Though her lips shut tight when they started to pull into the school. Her eyes shifted over the sea of people that were parking and entering and they quickly grew wide as she sunk into her seat. Why were there so many people here?

@ Sweet.Persephone
"Thanks?" Sebastian mumbled quietly as he cast Luna a small side look. Not sure if he should feel thankful or not over her saying that she wouldn't burn down the house or not? Well, it's not like she'd be able to get away with it anyway. There was always someone on guard, patrolling the neighborhood that they lived in. So, on the first smell of danger, they'd all be safe. Then, they'd crackdown on what the fuck had happaned.

Looking towards all of the students, Bash couldn't help but grin. "As the song title from one of Guns N Roses goes, welcome to the jungle." Then, Bash pulled into a parking spot and hopped out of his truck. He grabbed his backpack from the back seat and swung it over his shoulder before he walked around towards Luna's side. Opening the door, he saw how nervous the young girl was. Like how she was on the first day at his place. Like a lost pup who couldn't find their mom.

"Hey, it'll be alright. I'll be with you the whole time." Sebastian said, trying to calm Luna down. "Nothing bad will happen, promise! It might actually be kinda fun!" Bash did his best to offer a small smile. "Come on, we'll be late." He said as he offered Luna a hand to help her out of the truck. "We'll go to the office and get your schedule, then I'll show you where our classes are and where my favorite places to hang out are."
