She began by introducing herself by saying, "My name is Grace." It was nothing out of the ordinary for the Lunas to become acquainted with the progeny of those in power. She gave a light and airy laugh while twirling her long hair.
"Although I am now the Luna. I would ask that we avoid getting too formal. I am like a sister to every one of you. I want all of us to become good friends!" Her voice was as sweet as candy, and she chirped like 10 years old.
Rosalie wanted to roll her eyes at Grace. Was she being genuine, or was this only a ruse for her to exert her authority over them? She hid her face from view for a little while. As Luna Grace could see into people's minds if she wasn't careful, so Rosalie was carefully guarding her thoughts.
"Hey, what say we get some fresh air and then meet up with the rest of the folks in the Common Room?" Grace said.
When they entered the communal room, they gathered in a circle. While the other two betas watched, Melissa lazily stretched out on the long couch. Dolores and Linda proceeded to sit down on the carpet together. Rosalie sat down next to Linda in an empty armchair that was nearby. Grace joined them on the carpet and sat there in a cross-legged position. Rosalie remained mute out of fear that she would say or do something incredibly dumb.
The females laughed and talked to one another. At first glance, it appeared to be an innocent sleepover for girls. Rosalie was curious as to whether or not Grace's sweetness was genuine or whether it was merely a pretence to control them. "What difference does that make?" She gave a mental shake to herself.
She had no choice but to bow down to her, regardless of whether or not doing so aligned with her personal preferences. The abrupt sound of giggling broke the train of thinking she was having. The girls were laughing and blushing when Grace started talking about her love life.
"Madame Luna is Alpha.......is he making you tired in bed?" Dolores inquired with some trepidation.
Grace responded appropriately by blushing.
Grace said. "He is pretty intense," in an almost ethereal voice. "But in a good way.... the way he pleases me...with that amazing tongue of his, oh my!" She squealed with delight and flushed.
Rosalie rolled her eyes and made sure Grace didn't see the expression on her face. Now she would have to sit through Chris's stories about his sexual exploits with Grace! Why was the moon goddess treating her in such a terrible manner?
"He didn't always behave in that way... He was...." A startling silence followed by "aloof at first" from Grace.
"Aloof ?" Rosalie was unable to resist asking the question.
Grace turned her gaze towards her.
She affirmed with a nod, "Yes! After the mating ceremony, he did not come back to talk to me again. Even when we were running with the pack, we... didn't..., "She came to a sudden halt as if she had disclosed too much information.
Rosalie inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly.
"It seemed as though something was going on inside of his head. I made an effort to enquire, but he did not answer to my questions. I did not doubt that he was struggling with something. I guess he was just shy. It was adorable!" She spoke in hushed tones.
She said this with a smug expression on her face, "But no guy can resist my charms, and I eventually broke him."
The girls looked at her as if she had just solved a puzzle because they could not take their eyes off her.
"Madam Luna, what did you do?" Linda questioned with wide eyes.
