The Alpha and His Contract Luna novel Chapter 50

I slowly walk towards the pack house. For the first time since I was arrested I feel free. I feel calm.

The tension is no longer there but I am afraid all that is going to change once I get there.

“Hello”

I stop when I hear the small voice. I turn in circles but no one is there. Was I going crazy or something? I chalk it to my imagination and continue walking.

“Are you seriously ignoring me?” this time it comes out stronger.

Oh my goddess. It takes me a while but I finally realize it. The voice wasn’t external. It was coming from within me. And it definitely was not Blue’s voice or mine. Meaning it was the beast’s.

“Would you please stop calling me ‘the beast’?” it all but yells. “It is hurtful and demeaning”

What was I supposed to say? How was I supposed to interact with it? It was easier with Blue.

I have had her since I was thirteen. And I expected her to show up so it wasn’t a shock when she did. But this is a completely different situation. The total opposite of my experience with blue.

I decide to pause my walk back. If it was going to be living inside me then I should maybe try to get to know it better. Besides, it came to my rescue just now, so I owe it that much.

“Hey, sorry you just took me by surprise” I tell it feeling kind of stupid.

I sit on the ground, leaning on a tree. It was really uncomfortable given that I was butt naked.

“That’s okay” it says softly.

Now that I was calmer and could hear her clearly. Her voice sounded kind of feminine so I assumed it was female. Otherwise it would be all kinds of awkward having a male beast trapped in a female’s body.

“My head is pounding”

I guess Blue has finally decided to join the chat. She’s a bit confused at first but then she screams in excitement.

“Oh my goddess. You’re finally here. I have been dying to meet you”

The moment she says that, an image appears in my mind. The beast who is almost twice the size of Blue, being tackled by her. In what I assume is a hug.

“Could you please not touch me? I am not a big fan of displays of affection” she says, her voice on edge.

“Sorry, sorry” Blue smiles wolfishly.

The whole interaction between the two brings a smile to my face. I can’t help but feel some sort of way.

“So the moon goddess said we should name you, I am assuming you don’t have a name” I say in a matter of fact.

She nods but doesn’t say anything.

“Do you have an idea of what you want to be called?” Blue asks curiously.

“Definitely not a color. Why the hell would she name you Blue?”

For some reason I feel attacked by that. No one has ever questioned why I named my wolf Blue. It was her name and people accepted that fact.

“I was thirteen years old and my favorite color is blue, so…” I left the sentence hanging.

Besides, it turned out great and I think it suits her.

“You could have named her Royal…as in royal blue, which makes more sense”

I look at her through my mind. I knew that I was going to have my hands full with her and not because she was an executioner.

I didn't answer her because my mind was still preoccupied with what I was going to name her.

“We could name you Sky…Sky Blue, get it?” I ask, grinning like an idiot.

Blue bursts out laughing but the beast doesn’t say anything. I kind of think it’s funny as hell.

“I actually like it, or maybe we could go with Midnight Blue” She says after a while

“You do realize I was joking right?”

“Yes, but it’s actually a good name. I like Midnight cause it complements the color of my fur, while Sky is short and simple to say”
