A LUNA'S BLUNDER

It was a jolly evening for the moon goddess. It would be the full moon at night and she was going to host a celebration like she always did to have all the gods and goddesses in her abode; wining and dining with her as chatters and laughter would float across the table and above them all while they ate and drank. Her right hand was glued to her side throughout the day time, running to and fro to make everything perfect as she gave instructions and preferences on every design and delicacy that was to be served, especially the wine… that was her favorite. She loved drinking but it wasn't a habit, she just did it more out of loving the taste of her favorite wine and how it slushed down her throat whenever she drank it… that was how she always defended herself whenever her fellow gods accused her of drinking way too much.

She got to her chambers, her right hand behind her as she walked straight to the soft chair that was in the right hand corner and plopped into it with a sigh. She was extremely beautiful, one could say her beauty was unreal. She had skin like milk that shone at night whenever the moon was out as she sat on it and watched the humans and werewolves from above, her eyes were captivating so was her smile and a story that had luckily never been heard by the people of earth said; that she once had an affair with Eros, he was obsessed with her and when she wanted it no more, but he wouldn't let her go until she cast a spell that made him love her no more.

So her beauty was always what was on the tip of everyone's lips as they spoke about it everyday and every night both in the realm of the gods and that of the people of earth.

"Is there anything else to be done, Mistress?" Her right hand asked with a bow and the moon goddess spared her a glance

"I'm quite tired for now, I'll let you know when I've rested and gotten my strength back in me"

She replied and her right hand nodded and left immediately with a relief that she'd be able too rest for a while before the moon goddess, her Mistress would work her to death again. The kitchen was bustling with workers, chefs and assistant cooks that were all making sure that every dish to leave the kitchen would be perfect and up to the taste of their Mistress, the moon goddess. Her right hand went around and supervised scrutinizingly, every activity performed by workers and whatever they made before she retired to her little room to have a short nap too before the moon goddess would be fully awake to get dressed for the full moon night party.

********

It was soon nighttime and the abode of the moon goddess was ready and looked like it was heaven, even the workers that came together to do the work all admired the result and knew the full moon this time would be different.

The moon goddess was awake too in her chamber and her right hand was with her along with other maids that would help her put on her dress, a light baby blue silky dress embedded with sapphires and diamonds that swept across the floor from her feet, making her look like a breathtaking fairy that illuminated the moon's light. When they were done tying the corset, she walked majestically to the full length mirror that rested against the wall of her chamber and stared at herself with pride glistening in her eyes.

"I look perfect"

She said more to herself and smiled. As she smiled, her skin glowed and she gently patted the length of her dress against her perfectly accentuated body for a while, still staring at her reflection in the mirror before she turned around to face her workers who were also admiring her.

"You look magnificent, Mistress"

her right hand complimented and she nodded.

"oh I know" she replied and giggled as they helped her put on her shoes and escorted her to the hall where the feast was going to be held.

Maids weren't to be seen by other gods or goddesses if they were not in the special uniform and assigned to be working in the hall so the maids stopped close to the hall entrance, bowed before the Luna and scurried off to their quarters since they weren't part of the assigned maids to work in the hall. It was just Luna, her right hand and guards positioned at different places in the corridor that remained as the chatter of arriving gods and goddesses floated across the hall to where they stood. A proud smile appeared on Luna's face and her eyes gleamed as she dragged in a long breath and exhaled in excitement for the night and the endless glasses of wine she would have until she couldn't have anymore. She turned to her right hand and checked what she wore for the first time that night and she was quite satisfied with how she appeared.

"try to keep up with the reports coming in and make sure you inform me of all of it right on time"

She ordered and her right hand nodded diligently. Even though she would be feasting all through the night, she still cared about her work as the moon goddess and wouldn't want it all piled up for her by dawn the next day.

"yes, Mistress" her right hand replied with her head bowed. The moon goddess smiled again and flipped her curly hair before she raised her dress up a bit, held her head high and walked into the hall.

Her right hand could hear the silence that followed and she knew they were all admiring her Mistress like they always did every full moon feast due to how pricelessly beautiful she was. She smiled to herself with pride because she was the one that designed the dress.

She heard Luna pass a greeting to everyone in the hall and a loud response from the guests followed as the gods hailed and praised her like they always did, lust brimming in their beings for her. The party began and everyone took a seat on the long table that extended from one end of the hall to the other while the maids began to serve them all while pouring wines into their glasses and they drank to their satisfaction as they kept on refilling for them.

The moon goddess wasn't exempted, she ate a plate and was satisfied then she switched to drinking on and on and she cheered and chatted with her fellow gods. The feast was going on at a full and jolly pace as some sat and drank, some gossiped, some went to hidden dark corners to have some lonely steamy time with each other while some danced in the spacy hall while the music was played for them to dance as many rounds as they wanted… It was fun and the moon goddess was happy with the outcome of her party even though it wasn't her first. Millions of years of living but she still had the jitters whenever the full or new moon was around the corner because she wanted her party to always be perfect without losing her touch, she wanted it to be the talk on every god's mouth for at least the next two weeks before a rival god or goddess would throw hers or his out of jealousy. They were gods but they still had their differences between each other and had the ones that got along and the ones that didn't.

Her right hand was at a corner of the hall bobbing her head up and down to the song that was played while she watched the gods and goddesses have fun. Her bracelet of notifying her began to blink repeatedly and she stared at it for a while before she quickly rushed off to meet the moon goddess where she sat and was drinking even though she was already drunk to her limit. She was giggling out loud while chatting with a god that was obviously trying to get her to take him to her chamber for the night. Her right hand felt sorry for interrupting because she had ruined his chance but work always came first.

"Your Mistress, there's a report"

She whispered in her ear and she stopped laughing abruptly, even though she was drunk. She turned to her and took her hand

"let's go somewhere quiet first"

She said and pulled her out of the noisy hall even though she kept staggering due to how drunk she was and her right hand was trying to hold her steady.

They entered a quiet room that wasn't too far and Luna closed the door before turning to her right hand. She took the bracelet from her and closed her eyes. She saw an image of a new born baby and she knew an alpha was born. He needed to be mated immediately, she smiled as she opened her eyes and staggered off to the chair in the room and sat down

"an alpha has been born"

she said and summoned on her right hand to come closer

"get the destiny booklet"

she ordered and with a snap, it appeared in her right hand's hand and Luna began to speak

"I shall mate the alpha baby born on this full moon night to…"

suddenly she stopped and a sly grin slowly crept on her face as a forbidden idea popped into her head even though she wasn't even meant to be thinking about it

"I shall mate him to a human girl, by the name Samantha Cosgrove. Yet to be born but let's see how it goes this time with an alpha Werewolf and a human"

she continued and giggled. She noticed everywhere was gravely silent, her right hand was meant to acknowledge her mating declaration but she was silent. She looked at her and saw she was staring at her with wide eyes and a horrified look on her face that was already pale.

"Y.. yo.. your Mistress"

she stammered and it hit Luna at that moment… What did she just do? Mate an alpha with a human?!! She stared at her right hand for a long while as the gravity of her irreversible action hit her slowly then she screamed at the top of her voice.

"Why didn't you stop me?"

She screeched as she grabbed her right hand by her shoulders and shook her violently

"you were so fast Mistress, it just came all out and the destiny booklet wrote it all before I could do anything, I'm so sorry"

her right hand apologized in fright and the moon goddess sat back down

"this is bad, really bad. You know what? Cancel the feast first, everyone should go home, I have a headache and I need to rest"

Luna said and rushed off to her room still deep in thoughts and panic. She just committed a grave crime by mating a human with a werewolf and she knew she would get summoned by the gods and goddesses disciplinary committee for what she did.

She got to her room and took off her dress then with a groan she fell on bed and sighed, now sober… she wished she could undo what she did but there was nothing to do about it other than to take the punishment that will be given to her.

Her right hand suddenly ran into the room and she sat up. Looking at her face, she knew the disciplinary committee had already taken action

"what does the punishment say?" She asked

"You're banned from drinking any wine for the next two full moons and they twisted the destinies of the human and alpha baby so they'll end up together eventually, even though it'll be hard"

her right hand replied and the moon goddess sighed

"It's over for me if I can't drink, it's done"

she moaned out in despair and laid back on her bed. Her right hand quietly left her chamber while Luna just laid there and kept on signing in despair
