The Luna and Her Child – Chapter 9

Solitude

I perceive myself becoming increasingly stronger and improved. At 11:30 am, aware that Alyssa is napping at the childcare centre from 10:30 to noon, I proceed home to shower and prepare. I donned a white summer dress, styled my hair down, and applied minimal makeup.

Alyssa and I spent the afternoon together, and just before her party, I dressed her up. I styled her hair into two small bunches on either side of her head, complemented by a unicorn headband and a rainbow tutu. All expressed admiration for her cuteness.

The event proceeded flawlessly. Brandon hosted a barbecue, and I arranged the food I had prepared. The children engage in play within the ball pit for a brief period. As we sang Happy Birthday to Alyssa, her eyes widened with exhilaration. I am uncertain whether it is due to the fire or the cake, but it warmed my heart.

Seven months later.

Today is March 27, and I am commemorating my 20th birthday. Brandon is supervising Alyssa this evening, while Norah and I are socialising with several women. Nylah ‘s partner Marcus, the imminent Beta, along with Serena and Elaine, will also participate. We will convene at Serena’s to prepare collectively and subsequently proceed to the club to dance throughout the night. I have not attended a party since before Alyssa, and even then it was not at a legitimate club, so the girls believe it will be beneficial for me.

She is currently 19 months old and is an intelligent, cheerful, and charming toddler. During preparations, we assist one another with our makeup and hairstyling. I am attired in high-waisted white jeans and a pink crop tank top. I have styled my hair in a sleek, high ponytail, straightened in the manner of Ariana Grande. My makeup is impeccable, featuring flawless cat eyes. I believe I have never appeared as well as I do at this moment.

All the women appear magnificent. Norah and Nylah appear attractive, yet they are more conservatively dressed than the others due to their possessive Alpha and Beta partners. Both Skylar and Elaine are displaying the goods, which are evidently not paired.

We ensure to capture photographs as evidence of our appearance before commencing the shots. It requires a significant amount of alcohol for werewolves to achieve intoxication or even a mild buzz, yet we each consumed approximately a dozen shots and are prepared to proceed to the club.

Gavin transports us, and it is evident that he is reluctant to allow his attractive companion out of his view, particularly while she is slightly inebriated. “Simply accompany us, Gavin!”“I present, accompanied by a playful roll of my eyes.”

“No, this is intended to be a girls’ night,” Nylah contends.

“Observe his countenance!” He is despondent. He can serve as our bodyguard for the evening, correct?“I enquire of him.”

His lips begin to curve upward, and his countenance becomes illuminated. “If I inform Marcus that I am the bodyguard, he will likely feel significantly more at ease regarding this situation,” Gavin suggests to Nylah, who responds with an eye roll, “Very well!””

Gavin enters the club with us, beaming with joy. Norah is also. I admire the depth of their affection for one another. I aspire to discover someone with whom I can experience that, or at least a semblance of it. Upon entering, we proceed directly to the bar as our exhilaration begins to diminish.

We procure several shots and subsequently proceed to the dance floor. We are moving rhythmically to the music. I am experiencing immense enjoyment. Before long, I observe that Marcus is present as well. “What is your purpose for being here?”“I enquire with a smile.” I am not angry; I am merely inquisitive about the rationale he will provide for his inability to refrain from spending the night with his companion.

“Since Gavin was permitted to attend, I assumed it was acceptable.” Is it acceptable? I do not wish to disrupt your gathering.He enquires, appearing somewhat remorseful.

“The greater the number, the more enjoyable,” I exclaim with a grin, and resume dancing. Subsequently, Norah and Nylah are exclusively dancing with their partners, which I completely understand.

“I desire that,” Elaine states with a frown, indicating the joyful couples. I acquiesce. “Likewise,” Serena and I declare simultaneously.

“As the most formidable women in our group, do you believe we intimidate men?”“Serena inquires.” We all hesitate to reflect before we embrace one another and commence laughter.

Eventually, we return to the bar, but only the three of us. I am uncertain regarding the fate of the couples. While awaiting service, three gentlemen approached us and enquired if they could purchase us a drink.

They are endearing, and we experience solitude, thus we acquiesce. Following several drinks, we return to the dance floor, accompanied by the men. Steven begins to dance with me, while the other two gentlemen are dancing with Elaine and Serena.
