So, clothes shopping. Hmmm. Not sure what I expected but the store being this big was not what I was thinking. I figured it would be a nice, small store that not too many people are in. But, Scarlett, she took me to the mall. There are many stores everywhere. They are all huge. How am I supposed to find anything I want to buy in a place this large? "Are you okay? You look like you might be getting a little overwhelmed. We can leave if you want?" Scarlett offers. She seems to be genuinely worried about me so I just try to assure her that we are fine so that we can get some shopping done.She informs me that yoga pants are a type of exercise pant so we go into an exercise store to look for clothes first. When she told me that there are many types of yoga pants she was not exaggerating. There are some in almost every color and design. This is amazing. Some are thicker than others, while some are so thin that I am not sure I would feel comfortable wearing them out in

A week has went by since my little shopping trip with Scarlett. Each day I feel a little more comfortable and sure of myself around Dante. We have sadly, been keeping the kissing to a minimum to make it easier on Dante. He continues to be a perfect gentleman and not pressure me into doing anything I am not ready for. We have decided that it is now finally time to start teaching the female wolves how to fight and defend themselves. As future Luna, I am going to begin my training earlier than the rest of the women. As daunting as learning to fight is, I am excited to be able to defend myself. I have had this niggling fear that I am going to need to know how to defend myself in the future when I consider my past. I might not be mentally sure that I am ready to learn but I know I am physically. Since I have been getting regular meals, I have put on a little much needed weight and I am in much better shape than before. I even have all of the proper workout cloth

The next morning dawns nice and early. After completing the mating bond last night I feel like an entirely new person. My mind is clear and I feel more determined than ever for training today. That is, until I stretch. Everything hurts! Why would I do this to myself. I am not sure if it is all from exercising so much yesterday or if some of it is from last night as well. I can do this though, I can get up and start training. I will not lay in bed all day. That is exactly what I am doing right now though. I still haven't managed to get myself out of bed. Groaning, I turn over to look for Dante but he is already gone. As soon as I think of him I feel him in my mind. I can hear him chuckle slightly at my realization that I can communicate with him telepathically after the bond is in place. "I guess you are awake now. Ready to join me in the gym?" He asks. Groaning, I reply, "No, it hurts." "What hurts?" He asks concerned."Ever

Yes, I am just as sore this morning as I thought I might be. We ended up staying in the bedroom for the entire night. The only time Dante got up to leave was when he went to the kitchen to bring us some more sandwiches. When we got tired we turned on a movie in his room. I did not realize that there was a television in his bedroom but he pulled a remote out of his bedside drawer, hit a button and the wall opened up at the other end of the room to reveal one. He thought it might be fun to watch what he said are some classic boxing movies. I had never heard of Rocky before then but I ended up thoroughly enjoying the movies. It also helped to see someone else do some of the moves so effortlessly that I am trying to learn. Dante has shown me some but I seem to get distracted when he shows them shirtless. What can I say? That man has an effect on me. Dragging myself out of bed, I make my way to the closet. Normally I shower after we get done training but after l

Making cupcakes with Scarlett while we talk and joke about my training is more fun than I had anticipated. A month ago, I would never have imagined myself here, making cupcakes with a friend, joking about beating a beta in a sparring match that was put together by my Alpha mate. Not even in my wildest dreams would this have been possible. The craziest thing that I could think of at the time was saying hi to somebody. Now, I am in my friend's kitchen, getting treats ready for a pack dinner the following night where I can talk to everybody if I wish. "So, when are you guys going to have the Luna ceremony?" Scarlett asks. "What is a Luna ceremony?" I ask perplexed. "It is where you are introduced to the entire pack as our Luna. There is a really short ceremony and then everybody gets to wish you the best. I am sure that Dante has already started to plan it." She insists.A ceremony sounds a little far from my comfort zone currently. Dante h
