The Triplets' Fighter Luna

Gemma sat back down and relaxed a lot when she saw that it was only Chloe and Lexie. They both walked into the clearing to where we were sitting and Lexie was looking around at the clearing as well.

"Wow. It's been years since I've been here." Lexie said.

"You've been here before. This place doesn't look like it's ever touched." I said.

"I used to come here all the time with your mother. She loved it here because it was peaceful. After she was crowned Queen, she never got any peace and there was always someone hanging around her. She hated it, so we'd sneak off and come here. They never found us." Lexie explained.

We all had the mind link open so the four of us were listening to the conversation. I didn't want to think we were leaving Lucas out of anything. He might get the wrong idea and I didn't want to scare him off by teenage secrecy bullshit. "Chloe. You're never usually over this side of the territory. I mean, not often." I said.

"Yeah. Mom suggested going for a walk and I thought it was a good idea. It's been a while since we've spent any time together alone." Chloe said.

Otto sat right next to me as well, so close that we were basically leaning on each other and Lexie was studying us really closely.

"I'm Lexie, by the way. I'm Emma's godmother and the Queen's right hand." Lexie said.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Lucas. I'd love to meet you in human form, but we've left our clothes in the woods behind school." Lucas said.

"Yeah. Of course. It's fine." Lexie said.

"Well, we wouldn't want to interrupt your walk or anything." I said. But Lexie just smiled at us.

"Oh. Don't worry about that. This is actually where we were headed. I wanted to show Chloe. To show her that I was once a normal teenager who needed space instead of having a hovering parent around." Lexie said. "I thought your parents died before my mother became Queen." I said.

"They did. But that didn't make anything easier. I was a rebellious teenager. Just like your

mother." Lexie chuckled.

"My mom wasn't a rebel. She was just strong...wasn't she?" I asked.

"Do you know that she once drugged your father's because they were following her after she told them not to?" Lexie asked.

"She did what?" I asked.

"Yeah. Drugged them with wolfsbane and then called your grandfather to come and collect them so she could go and stop an army of vampires from coming to our pack." Lexie said.

"Damn. No wonder your mother has the scarier reputation." Lucas said. And I looked at Lucas before looking back at Lexie with shock written all over my wolfy face.

"She didn't really do that." I said, not believing it.

"Oh, she did. Ask them."

"They would have killed her when she got home." I said.

"They obviously didn't kill her. But they were pissed. She just told them to suck it up."

"Yeah. That one I do believe. I've heard her say that to them during arguments." I said.

"Yeah. Your parents have always been entertaining." Lexie said.

Lexie and Chloe walked into the clearing further and decided to sit on the ground with Lucas and I. We were looking down on them and I didn't like that because our wolves were bigger than them when they were sitting, so I laid back down with my head on my paws.

I felt Lexie start running her fingers through my fur. She always did that. She used to run her fingers through my hair to try and get me to sleep when I was young. It was always calming.

Lucas laid down next to me again and Lexie was asking Lucas a few questions. Mostly about

his old school and his old pack and all that sort of stuff.

It seemed all pretty trivial to me. Like she was just trying to get to know him. But I wasn't stupid. I knew that she was going to report back to my mother about everything that Lucas says. 

I let them go for a while until she started getting too personal. Asking about him moving in

with his aunt and uncle. And that sort of stuff.

"Lexie. Don't you and Chloe need to get going?" I asked.

"No. I'm enjoying this talk with you and Lucas. Besides, it feels like ages since we've talked." Lexie said to me.

She had a point there. We haven't spoken much lately. Which is weird. She was always like a second mother to me. And that's why Chloe and I are so close.

We spent a lot of time together growing up. Of course my mother let Lexie bring Chloe to work

with her at the castle. There's no way my mom would deny her that.

So, we really got to know each other and it just went from there.

We've been really good friends since then.

We noticed that it was starting to get dark and it was time for us to start heading back before my dads came looking for us. Lucas and I walked with Lexie and Chloe, so it took us a long time to get back to the school.

But once we got there, we shifted back and I got dressed behind that same tree where I shifted. 

Lexie and Chloe finally said goodbye to us and they started walking off to their car while Lucas and I started walking to the village.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"I really feel like I should walk you home." Lucas said.

"You don't need to worry about me. There are guards all around here. Warriors all the way

through the woods. I'll be fine. No one can touch me." I said.

"Alright. As long as you're sure." He said.

"I'm positive. I'll be alright." I said.

"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow." He said. And I nodded my head.

So he leaned over and he kissed me good night.

We walked off in different directions and I was walking down the main street of that village

with all of my thoughts completely consumed by Lucas right now.

I couldn't believe someone like him actually liked me. It still seemed really surreal to me.

But as I was walking along, daydreaming again, I heard someone call my name.

I turned around and I saw the guy that Lucas had been arguing with outside of school. "Hi. It's Levi, isn't it?" I asked.

"Yeah. What are you doing out here alone?" He asked.

"I'm just heading home."

"Where are your guards? There's always someone following you." He said, looking really concerned.

"I kind of lost my security detail today. I wanted time away from them." I admitted.

"And you're walking home alone?"

"Yeah."

"Do you know how dangerous that is? You're the princess." He said, walking closer to me.

"The castle isn't that far."

"It's far enough. Anyone could possibly slip through the border patrols. And you would be their first target. Come on, I'm walking you home." Levi said. "You really don't have to." I said.

"I know I don't have to. But you're not going to win this argument, so let's go." He said.

I looked at him strangely, but I turned around and started walking towards the castle.

"How do I know that you don't want to get me alone so you can have your way with me?" asked. 

"Because I've had plenty of other chances for the last 17 years. I think that should count for something." He said.

"I guess. It's just that you've never spoken to me before." I said.

"I know. And I'm sorry about that. But you're not getting out of it now." He said. And I nodded. my head. Walking on towards the castle.
