The Young Luna

Chapter 10

I was slightly upset that Seth didn't tell me I looked pretty, or even nice, when he saw me. I didn't need him to boost my ego, or settle my insecurities, in anyway. It just would have been nice since I had dressed up for his benefit. But he was completely indifferent towards me, like always.

His office, inside a large building full of other small offices and conference rooms, was large and grand. The sound of a grandfather clock ticked loudly in the room, as a serious looking Seth sat behind his mahogany desk working on paperwork.

"Sit" he told me, waving me over to the leather couch on the other side of the room.

"Woof" I commented, walking over to the couch. Seth looked up at me in confusion. "If you're going to give me orders like a dog, I may as well act like one" I snapped. He didn't reply, just narrowed his eyes at me, before going back to his paperwork. I sat awkwardly on his couch for a few minutes.

About ten minutes of uncomfortable silence – well uncomfortable for me, Seth didn't seem to notice – the intercom on his desk crackled. "Alpha, Dean said you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, Josh" Seth replied to his Beta. "I need the files of every Shifted Wolf between the ages of sixteen and eighteen".

"On it now, boss" Josh replied, before the intercom clicked out. After that silence filled the room once more. I shifted uncomfortably for a few minutes, before deciding that if Seth was going to ignore me, I might as well get comfy. I settled on the couch, and played a few games on my phone for a while.

About forty minutes later a knock came on the door and Josh walked in. His arms were piled high with brown files, each with a white label containing a name of a Pack member. "Don't place them down just yet" Seth said, standing up from his desk. He buttoned his jacket, almost automatically, before gesturing for me to stand to.

"Place them in the office next door" he told Josh. The Beta nodded before disappearing back outside the office. Seth then turned to me. "Come, I have work for you". He turned and followed his Beta, I moved of the couch and slowly trailed out. In the adjoining office, Josh placed all the files down.

I decided to choose him because I had always wanted to learn fencing and selfishly thought he might teach me.

Not only because it was actually interesting learning about all the different Wolves in the Pack but also because I was being given a say in something.
