"The kitchen" Matt said waving his hand with a flourish and an extravagant bow.

I giggled at his antics but stared slack jawed at the brand new kitchen appliances that no doubt hadn't ever been used.

"You don't..." I was cut off,

"We aren't much of uh...we can't cook so we usually eat at the pack house or we get sandwiches" he rushed out then scratched at the back of his neck looking down embarrassed.

"Its a lucky thing I came then with my mad cooking skills and all." I said grinning.

He looked up at me and was frowning I knew what he was thinking.

"I wasn't born rogue, just became one last year, even then it wasn't so bad." I explained

He gave me a sheepish look which I shrugged off.

"Wanna help me?" I asked while opening the fridge, I faltered at the sight before me. I resisted the urge to close it and open it again

"it's ...empty" I said

"Uh we aren't much for shopping either." He added his cheeks slightly coloring,

"You know for a member of the triumvirate you sure do get flustered easily."

"Yeah well for a Luna you... Uhm well you sure do tease me too damn much." He said then coloured some more "Sorry"

I froze I'm a Luna....shit.

"Wait you knew that right?"

"Well yeah but it didn't really sink in yet, it still is actually. Sinking in I mean"

I got out the stuff to make a sandwich, while I was making us something to eat, Gabriel came in.

Since me and Matt was deep in conversation , his appearance caused us to pause, we both turned to him. Looking expectantly.

"Matthew shouldn't you be back at the training grounds already, you know how those teens are."

Matt grinned and saluted him then turned to me.
"Duty calls m'lady," he winked then added "See yah later..."

"Grace" I supplied, he nodded and left after another comical bow.

Gabriel cleared his throat "Uh I'm sorry for the whole..." He cleared his throat "I'm sorry for hurting your back earlier...Luna."

I waved him off

"Its part of the job. I can't hold it against you. And Luna is so overrated, I'm only eighteen yah know."

He had his head bowed. So I gently touched his arm. When he look up I smiled "Its okay really."

He seemed shocked that I was touching him so I pulled my hand away.

"So what do you do here Gabe," I asked while washing up the dishes we used.

"I'm the beta and I 'm in charge of training the men just in case of...casualties."

I nodded.

"I really have to go now." He said walking off.

"Wait can I come?" I asked

He faltered.

"Please you wouldn't even know I'm there pleeeeease."

He nodded.

I fist pumped then did my victory dance. I looked up at Gabe who was staring in disbelief.

"What I'm 18, I have to live a little!" I said and shrugged.
