She's Mine To Claim: Tasting And Claiming His LunaShe's Mine To Claim: Tasting And Claiming His Luna - Chapter 47: Chapter 47

Emily's pov
"Shawn," I narrowed my eyes and took a step forward to smack him on the chest.
He rubbed the spot, wincing while pretending to be hurt. "Jeez Bryson, get your mate would you? Before she ends up killing me."
Bryson shrugged. " I wouldn't mind letting her."
Shawn pouted. "I can see I'm not loved here."
I rolled my eyes but cracked a small smile.
"I'll go find Maya." I said, my eyes searching for the red haired.
Where was she?
"Want me to come with?" Bryson asked me.
I shook my head.
It would be best if I left that skittish feeling in the past since I was now luna.
"No, it's okay."
Bryson nod, smiling down at me tenderly. "Come back to me soon. I already miss you."
Shawn made a fake gagging nose. "Bleh, ew. Dude you're more whipped than I thought you'd be. Em is literally still here, just going about searching for that witch."
I rolled my eyes when he called Maya a witch.
"You know Shawn. You and Maya really can never see eye to eye. Which makes me wonder about that saying. What's it again?" I feigned thinking.
"Right. When someone normally try to show their disdain for another, it's usually because they secretly have a crush.
I raised a brow. "Something tells me you and Maya might end up being mates. Turn that hate into love." I joked.
Shawn's face drained color. " You take that back Em."
I shook my head no.
He gagged and rushed over to a plant to barf. I winced as Bryson laughed. "I got it baby, go look for Maya," He uttered as he walked over to a bent over Shawn who was busy barfing.
I'm a bit unsure if to leave Shawn just barfing into the shrub but Bryson gives me a thumbs up and a charming smile that melted my heart.
I walked through the throng of teenagers who were in their bikini's, sups in their hands. Most of them ignored me, not acknowledging me as their new luna.
I suppose I already knew this would happen as not everyone would deem me worthy of leading the pack along side Bryson.
I try to not make their passive bored glances get to me as I searched for Maya. I found her beside the pool, seated on a lounge chair with a beer in her and, tilted up as she gulped the liquid down her throat.
I smiled at the familia face and make my way over to her.
"Hey." I smiled as I plop beside her. I took note of her sudden stiff shoulders, the way she didn't look at me. It made me confused, especially when she took a long swig of her beer before responding.
"What's wrong?" I questioned, my brows furrowing as I peered at her curiously.
She pulled the bottle from her lips, sighing when she placed it down on the ground. She looked at me, smiling but it didn't quit reach her eyes.
"Nothing is wrong Emily. What makes you think that something is wrong?" Her lips split into a wider smile.
I played with my fingers on my lap, eyeing her in confusion. Something was definitely wrong with her.
But before I could continue asking her more questions a boy from the pack approaches us, taking her attention away from me.
She grins at the boy, curling her finger in a 'come to me' motion.
As he neared I recognized him. He was our age and I was sure he had been in one of our classes. His name was Vier if I remember correctly.
Maya grabbed the beer and took a swig before Vier reached her.
What happened next stunned me.
Vier leaned her way, his fingers wrapping around the arm of the chair as he bend down to connect their lips.
My mouth part in shock.
Maya had always been very strict with waiting for her mate, seeing her kiss Vier kind of stunned me speechless.
When they pull apart, Vier winked before walking off as if nothing happened.
"What was that?" I whispered in surprise as she wipes the corner of her mouth.
She spared me a glance and rose to her feet. " What do you think it was? Can't I have fun?" She grumble over her shoulder as she walked over to the pool.
With my brows drawn in a from I got up and followed after her. " I thought you said you'd wait for your mate?"
She shrugged. "Well I changed my mind."
She lifts the beer bottle to her lips and took another swig.
"Maya, what's really going on? You're acting weird." I question.
She pulled the bottle from her mouth, and glower at me. "Now that you're luna, you think you can question me? Letting that power get to your head already Em?"
She mocked, making me flinch.
"What I-
"I'm just having fun luna, you should try it some time." She rolled her eyes and tossed the bottle of beer on the grass blades.
She turned to face me and I grow even more confused by the sudden change of her emotions. She's now grinning from ear to ear. "Come on have fun Em, this is your party after all."
Suddenly she takes a step forward and pushes my shoulder. I yelped as I had not expected it and ended up tumbling to the side, unable to catch my balance.
I fell right into the pool, gasping when the water wrapped around me. I wasn't the chill that made me writhe in pain when I'm deep into the pool. it was the fact that my skin burned.
Wolfsbane.
