His Mafia Luna (Original Version)

Hurricane

Ximena lay on the bed asleep as I watched her, my Wolf on edge. Everytime she moved in her sleep, he growled in fear. He didn't like the fact that his mate had such a dangerous past. Neither did I. I only wanted to keep her safe, but she wouldn't stop fighting me. My mate had such a tenacious spirit; everything about her invited me in: her hair, her eyes, her scent. It was the most appealing scent in the world: pine and roses. I may complain about her stubborness, yet there's really nothing I would change about her. I surprisingly accepted her Mafia past, but I felt jealous of it at the same time. She had now loyalties to my pack and to her family. I knew for a fact that she would not give her world up without trouble.

"Lorcan?" Hearing my name, I turned around to see my mother and Aideen walk in. Immmediate worry pulses through my body, and my Wolf whimpered softly, hoping that this will end well. Mother and I had never been on the best terms; she was closer to Cadmar while my father favored me. I looked to Aideen as my mom rather than my own. Nonetheless, I desired her approval. She advanced towards Mena, wearing a wary and worried expression on her face. I look to her friend for help, but she looks at her the same way. "Tá sí an duine." (She's human) The way she said this was condescending and disappointed; I involuntarily growled in anger, shocking her. Aideen jumped to Mena's defense.

"Is féidir Mena bheith an duine, ach tá sí ina cheannaire nádúrtha agus Trodaire. Bheadh sí a saol a chosaint ar cad a chreideann sí a leagan síos. Tá sí ag dul a dhéanamh Luna fíneáil." (Mena may be human, but she's a natural leader and fighter. She would lay down her life to protect what she believes in. She's going to make a fine Luna.)  Mother shot back,

"Tá sí lag. Beidh tú i gcónaí a bheith a chosaint di seachas do phacáiste." (She's weak. You will always be defending her rather than your pack.) At the blatant disrespect, I growled,

"She's is strong, and she's mine. Yes, I will hold her safety as a higher priority; isn't that the usual case?" Enya hissed,

"What good is a Luna that cannot shift, Lorcan?" My Wolf was growing angry, and I swear that if she continued that I was going to attack my mother. "Why do you think that we haven't had a human Luna in so long?" I growled out, 

"She's my mate, Mother!" Aideen jumped in and yelled, 

"Enya, she's his mate; the mating dance brought the two of them together!" My mother hissed at her, 

"Know your place, Aideen!" The woman flinched at the tone, but she recovered quickly. 

"Enya, I don't care if you were a Luna. You still give me respect-" My mother lunged for her friend, her canines bared, but someone jumped in and it wasn't me. My mother was flying backwards, and we all turned to see who pushed her away. Mena stood in front of Aideen, a murderous glare in her eyes. A sharp knife was in her hand, and her whole posture was crouched. She hissed, 

"If you ever touch Aideen, I'll kill you with no mercy. I don't care if you're some werewolf." Aideen's eyes were wide with surprise while my mother was shocked. I was too awed to say a word; she didn't seem to care whether this was a woman. All that mattered was that Aideen was being threatened. She was already an amazing Luna. Enya snarled in indignance, 

"Do you know who I am, human?" My mate merely shrugged. 

"Do you know who I am?" There was a disrespectful tone in her voice, but I was aroused by the fiery look in her eyes. Her emotions were pulsing with anger towards the woman, and I knew that it wouldn't take much for her to kill my mother. I jumped in and yanked the knife from her hand. She yelled in protest, but I mind linked her an explaination. 

Mena, this is my mother. I'd appreciate it if you didn't kill her. She was also the past Luna; you're her successor." Her face paled, and I could sense the horror in her thoughts. I peeked in, and all of a sudden, I saw an image in her mind.
