THIS! is Moonlights dad?!

He’s so much taller than me AND I’M 6’2! He walks over to me with a furious look on his face, and I can fell my heart about to pop out of my chest. His arms suddenly move towards me, I close my eyes fearing the worst. But to my surprise instead of being met with hands around my throat trying to strangle me I feel his arms wrap around me. I open my eyes, startled, and see that he’s got me locked in a bear hug.“Welcome to the family, please take good care of my precious baby girl” Mr. Alezado says while sobbing into my shoulder. “Papa! Let go of him, and don’t say stuff like that i-its embarrassing.” Moonlight pulls me from her fathers grasp, “are you alright?” she asks her checks beaming with red. “I’m fine don’t worry” I say with a small smile on my face. “Lo siento (sorry) Enzo, I didn’t mean to invade your personal space, I was just so excited to meet my daughters mate.” “N-no worries Mr. Alezado I’m fine” “good, right then let’s be getting ready for the meeting.”

They all start to get ready I try to help out as much as they would let me. Helping gave me some time to get to knew more about Moonlight. “So, Moonlight how long have you lived in Carlisle?” I ask as we prepare the dining room.“My whole life,” “really?” “Yeah but we do travel so it’s not like I’ve never been outside of Iowa.” “Why did you move here from San Diego?” Moonlight asks,“oh…well my dad passed away and it was getting hard for my mom to pay rent after her work had to let her go, so she started looking for jobs and she found one here that pays good and has good hours.” Moonlight looks at me with a sad expression, “ I’m sorry about your dad” “it’s okay, I’ve come to terms with it and I know that he’s in a better place.” Without warning Moonlight comes up behind me a hugs me. W-what is she doing?! After a few seconds she lets go of me, “well t-that was unexpected.” “Sorry, I didn’t mean to surprise you, I just felt like you needed a hug.” I look down at Moonlight and see that shes pinching her arm with a anxious look on her face. I know that look, I quickly but gentle wrap my arms around her, she jumps, then wraps her arms around me pulling us closer together. I feel her small body in my arms and her chest up against mine. We stay like this for what seems like an hour, just holding each other, we finally pull away, but still keep are arms holding each other while we smile at one another. “What are you guys doing?”

We quickly move away from each other, I look and see Mr. alezado looking at us with confusion.“J-just getting to know each other a little better,” Moonlight stutters.“Aww my little Luna is growing up so much (sniff, sniff), pretty soon ill have little grandchildren running around,” “PAPA!” “What?” Moonlight plants her face in her hands with embarrassment. “Never mind. Did you need something?” “oh yes, I was going to say that everyone is on their way, so they should be here any minute now.” DING DONG “That must be them! I’ll go let them in.” Mr. Alezado walks out of the dinning room to go let his guests in. Moonlight and I quickly finish setting the dining room for the meeting, and go to the living room, I’m a little nervous about having to meet new people. Moonlight notices and grabs my hand, I stop and look down at her to see her smiling at me with rosy cheeks. I smile back at her, my cheeks equally as rosy as hers.

We walk into the living room are hands still intertwined, I see Mr. and Mrs. Alezado talking to a couple with a girl standing next to them. Isn’t that Rosa? My suspicions are soon conformed by Moonlight, “hey Rosa!” Moonlight says. She walks over to Rosa dragging me with her as she’s still holding my hand. “Hey Luna,” Rosa says in a sterile tone, she looks away from Moonlight to me, then down to where me and Moonlight are holding hands, an unfazed expression on her face the whole time. She’s about to say something when she’s interrupted by the man she was standing with. “Who’s this?” the man asked curiously, “oh this is Enzo, Moonlights mate.” The man looks at me with a astonished look on his face, Rosa and the women also look at me surprised. “Is this true Carolina?” the women asks “yes, it’s true, he’ll also be staying for the meeting,” Mrs. alezado answered. “The meeting!? But he’s a human!” “yes Lewis that’s very aperient, but he’s also Moonlights mate so I thought it would be good for him to be informed about things that are going on in the pack,” Mr. Alezado explains.“I get that, but you should have at least consulted with the rest of the pac-” “I don’t have to do anything, I’m the alpha so what I say goes!” “MiGUEL!” Mrs. Alezado says, raising her voice at Mr. Alezado. Mr. Alezado goes quit and looks at Mrs. Alezado, you can see the fear in his eyes that it even makes me a little scared for Mr. Alezado. “We understand that you upset Lewis,” Mrs. alezado says in a calm voice,“but I was the one to ask Enzo to stay for the meeting. I could tell that he is honest and poses no threat to the pack and like Miguel mentioned we felt it would be good for him, but I also felt it would be good for the pack to meet him since Moonlight is the future alpha I thought it would be nice for everyone to meet her partner and get to know him. Wouldn’t you agree Lewis?” “W-well I-…. Guess that makes sense. I apologize for my outburst.” “Thank you and I apologize for not discussing this with you before we made our decision.” The man and women both walk up to me and Moonlight, “hello Enzo I’m Teresa Garcia, and this is my husband Lewis Garcia,” “hello” Mr. Garcia says. “Hello Mr. and Mrs. Garcia.” “wow so formal I like him, this is our daughter Rosa,” “sup,” “hey,” I reply. “Aren’t you the guy that kept staring at Luna yesterday?” rosa blurts out. Everyone looks at me, I become overwhelmed with embarrassment and nervousness, “ummm w-well you s-see I uh,” I’m saved when there’s a knock at the door.

Mrs. Alezado lets them in, Mrs. Alezado introduces me to them, more people arrive all surprised by the fact that I’m Moonlights mate. In all there’s a total of fifteen people not including Moonlight, most of them are Moonlights cousins and are between the age of sixteen and twenty two, and there’s her four aunts and uncles. There’s the green sisters the oldest is twenty five and the youngest is twenty, then there’s Ray Moore and Emily Thomas. Everyone’s gathered in the dinning room, Moonlight, me and her oldest cousin mariposa are the only ones not sitting at the table. “Alright, lets start, as you all know tomorrow will be Lunas first full moon, that means she will soon be taking on alpha responsibility’s like leading the pack and pack meetings. The next order of business, is the wolf,” everyone goes silent, and the energy in the room becomes tense. “Has anyone sensed it at all since last week?” “no I checked the woods but there was nothing” “and I checked the town but nothing” the green sisters said. “Wolf?” I ask Moonlight, “yeah last week ray and Emily were out running when they ran into a rogue wolf they chased it up to Hartford but they ended up losing them.” “Why was it here?” “I don’t know, but the next time it comes back it won’t be getting away.”

“Alright we can end the meeting for today, now lets eat some dinner.” We all go into the kitchen, when I walk I see Leo and Felipe, “Felipe, did you have fun with Leo?” “yeah! Im so glade mom let us come here” “yeah” y-yeah” wait mom? OH NO, I forgot to tell mom!
