CHAPTER 3

Nathan POV

Just few month after we meant, I announced Jessica as my new Luna.

 Every part of my room and the pack house was covered with her photos and she was indeed a blessing to me.

 And this time, I was never going to be careless with her as I was with Elsa. 

 That evening I was going to meet her again for dinner night to decide our future together.

 I stared at her picture in the room and I was lost staring at such an immaculate beauty crafted by the mother of all, the moon goddess herself specially for me.

 "I love you, " I said tracing the photo beside my bed with my hand," I dropped the picture back and put the finishing touches on my clothes.

 I went down quickly to the car pack to go get her from her home. David was already in the car since he knew that I already had an appointment.

 I could not wait to spend the most beautiful time of my life with her after our meal

 Halfway through our journey, I heard a strange crackling sound at the back of the car.

 "What was that David," I inquired.

"Nothing Alpha," he returned quickly but I was not satisfied With his answers.

 I waited for some time and when I heard the strange sound again, I knew that something was wrong.

 "Something is wrong down there, so check it out," I said to him.

 I watched as he tried to stop the car engine but it refused to stop, there, I knew that there was trouble.

 "Stop the car," I yelled at him, seeing a pole before us.

 "It won't stop," he replied and I watched as the car ran faster toward my end.

 "Bum!"

I heard a loud bang and that was the last thing I could remember.

 A few hours later, I opened my eyes slowly and I felt a Sharp pain all over my body.

 "Don't stress yourself out my love," Jessica who had been sitting down beside me all this while she messaged my body with so much love and attention.

 She was massaging my legs with warm water. I looked around, I was in my room in the pack house but not a single pack servant was around.

 "David got little brushes on his legs but he is okay, the pack House doctor is attending to him," Jessica explained but I wasn't even listening to her.

 "What's happening here," I thought in my head.

 "What about the pack's servants?" I inquired.

 "I sent them out, I wanted to take good care of you myself," she said to me with so much love in her eyes.

 "Thank you, my love," I said to her, overwhelmed by the love she was showering on me.

 "But," I tried to say but she would not allow me to spill out the word.

 "No buts, I don't know what I will become if I lose you, your life means more to me than anything in the whole world," she said to me.

 I had never met anyone this perfect all my life and I could not wait to be legally married to her.

 "I love you," I said almost in a whisper.

 "I love you too," she said to me.

 "You must be famished, I made your favorite dash and I will go get me right away," he said to me.

 I watched as she walked out of the room to get me the food and I came down slowly from the bed and knelt on the floor not even worried about the increasing pain in my legs.

 "Thank you moon goddess for giving her to me," I said.

 But then, I saw a photo under the bed and I Picked it up immediately. It was a photo of my former late Luna, Elsa.

 I had forgotten about her and halted my quest for her revenge, lost in love with Jessica.

 "I haven't forgotten you, Elsa, I will certainly come for your Killers," I said to myself tracing the photo but I knew that it was not true, she was gradually fading away from my memory as the day went by.

 The door parted open and Jessica walked into the place.

 I tried to hide the picture before she could see it, but I was too late.

 "What's that," she inquired, dropping the sweet-smelling tray of food on the glass table before me.

 "It's nothing, just a photo I found under the bed," I replied.

 I was scared that she was going to get angry seeing me still with the photo of my former mate in my hands.

 "Can I see it?" She said to me.

 At first, I didn't want to give it to her but that was only going to make this worse for me.

 "You can have it," I said to her with a deep sigh.

 She looked at the photo while I waited for her reaction but rather, I noticed a sober look on her face.

 "She was so beautiful," she said to me.

 "Yes, too bad that she was murdered," I sighed.

 "She was?" She inquired.

 "Yes," I replied.

 "Oh, too bad, who could have done such a thing to her?" She said with deep pain.

 "Look, my love, I understand what you had to go through, those years of pain and I must say that," she tried to say but I placed my hands on her mouth.

 "But I met you and that is my past now," I said to her and I will never leave your side for anything in this world," I said to her and pressed my lips against hers.

 While she returned my gesture, moisturizing my lips with hers, rising the passion in me.

 "I love you more than anything in this world, more than life itself," she whispered into my ears.

Her words suddenly became my soothing balm.
