The next morning after I had tossed and turned on the bed waiting hopelessly for the bright light to peek through the clouds. I finally for once since I bought the alarm, appreciated its worth.
After taking an express bath, I rushed out of the room down hoping they were back but no they weren't. I was disappointed. I sat through the breakfast listening to Sandy bicker my ears to death without the slightest interest in what she was saying.I knew she missed them too but as usual, as she does, was trying to make herself happy in order not to think about their absence.“ I'm going back to school after the baby. I already told Adrian and made him understand there is nothing he could do about it. I intend to get my master at 25” she quipped tossing an oyster in her mouth.I chewed lazily into the caesar said I have been sluggishly chugging down since god knows when.“Mmmm” I hummed and continued looking at her so it won't be as though I waWhen we got to the living room, we almost collided with Leonards Mom who was coming down form the stairs. She stopped when she saw me with her face morphing into a smile “How are you, Luna?” she questioned.I nodded and shifted on my feet feeling guilty at not going to see her since the last time.“I'm fine thank you” I mewled.“It's not your fault that you haven't chuckled on me. I know what happened. The pack is in disarray with the attacks going on..But don't worry, everything would be alright” she came down the last step and patted me “Who is his beautiful lady?” she asked and walked past us.I noticed Sandy didn't say anything to her so I nudged her. “Uhm...she is my friend”“Her best friend” Sandy chipped in making me roll my eyes.The lady rumbled with laughter. I liked the sound of her voice. Reminded me of the early morning summer news. Very melodious.“I like th
When I reached the living room at the speed of light, I was surprised to see only Nora who was about to climb the stairs before she saw me.“Hey” she grinned which I could dissect to be a mask.“How could you have left like that? You should have at least told me something. Where is Leo? I'm very angry with him. If he would often leave me like this___”“Calm down. Everything had happened very unexpectedly. I can't tell how it happened myself.” she told me coming down to meet me. I could tell she was tired from the worry lines on her face. A huge black bag hung under her eyes.I righted myself “How are you?” I cradled her face “You look like death itself. Come here you need food and then you will rest” I dragged her to the dining.“Is that punky pup?” I heard Sandy ask, trying to meet with us.Nora came to stop and face her with a threatening glare “I've told you don't call me t
“Runaway? Did you just say run away? Your husband banished me away without thinking about my life and his I will survive out there without my family and you say run away?”“I'm sorry about that and I really, really must tell you how bad I felt about that happening to you. No one deserved that” Cordelia said.My hand was til on Mom's trying to quell her temper. She shook her head and looked at me “Baby why didn't you tell me? We are leaving tomorrow. I can't stay here these people are not like us” she pointed at the both of us, tears beginning to fall from her eye.The sight of Mom already crying seem to offset my tears that started falling too “I know Mom and I swear I'm not happy you have to be faced with this on the first day even without resting but I promise we can talk about this. A lot has gone on since I came here and I didn't tell you or Dad because I knew this was how you were going to behave”She shook her
“Hey, Leonard” I breezed out, going to meet him. Not knowing how to react or how Mom would react now.“Hey” he returned and pecked my forehead before he race my Mom “Yiu are welcome, Mrs. Johnson”Mom's head bounced as she came forth to meet him “It's nice to meet you too. Where have you been?” she asked stopping a few feet away from us.“I...i..” he looked at me as my cheeks heated up“Why don't we proceed to the dining Kom, there would be time for all the questions. Come on” I dragged him on sensing Mom's eyes follow us. I know by now she would surely suspect something is amidst. However, we have to let her relax before throwing the unavoidable in her face.“When did you come?” he asked her, seating down on the dining chair after pulling out nine for me. I looked at him my heart soaring at his presence. He had worn out in a few days..hua cheeks looked sullen and it di
“Concentrate! I told you the other day to leave everything that bothers you and think of only what you desire to come to pass!” Garret instructed fit the umpteenth time. I was distracted a lot and did t know why.“I'm trying” I squeaked as my leg hung on suspension which according to her would help me concentrate.“ I think we should take a break,” she said and I exhaled and borough my leg down picking up the water on the tray bedside us to drink. We have been on this since she came after I left Mom in her room.“She is here. I don't know if you would want to meet her yet. I haven't told her about you” I told Garret afterward after wiring my body with the body towel.“I want to meet her already. I've waited so long and now I can't wait but, I think I will have to contact my as tee to come what do you think?” she asked me, her face looking very joyful.“ I think....well, I think you should meet
In the dungeon (Third persons pov)In the far corner of the arena dwells the dungeon and in it was laying on the ground, the weakened body of Belinda. She was already praying to the moon goddess to take her life and save her from the constant torture of the guards who wouldn't stop feeding her with just enough wolfbane to weaken her wolf, whip her with a silver gadget, and make her suck them off under resistance.Her wolf Oris was already whining in pain from the regular torture. All she needed was to die and forget about everything since it seems her father had also forgotten her. He was the prime cause of it all. If he haven't forced her to come to the lack and try to win the heart of Leonard, she wouldn't be in this mess.At first, she had declined when it all started. But he insisted. Going ahead to make her imagine the enormous power she would feel if she eventually becomes the Luna. He knew she always wanted that and she had fallen for his lot.All for what
The next morning, I woke up to the empty bed my heart craving for the presence of Leonard but knowing he was right in everything he said last night. The enemy was out there and they needed to stop them. It would be very selfish of him to lay at home having fun while his warriors are out there in the cold night trying to restore the peaceI made it out of bed and sat down with my phone in my hand struggling to agree on if to call him and ask him about last night or to wait till he comes back this night, as he had told me he would return this night with Adrian.That worked for me. With him leaving g in the evening and coming back in the morning. At least I get to see him even though he doesn't wrap me in his arms at night. At least I can bear that for now.I dialed his number giving up on my common sense. It rang but he didn't pick. I tried again but he still didn't pick.I worked hard to keep my
After that, he didn't say anything to me so I was befuddled and couldn't say anything either.“I saw that.” I heard a voice say behind me and turned to see Garret walking to me. “That was it. You just unleashed something within you! she came and held my shoulder. She looked towards my mother who was strolling to me now her face expressionless.I don't believe I did that myself. I did t want to believe it either.My mom reached us and touched my face. “When did this start?”I shook my head tears pooling now in my eyes “Just today. But they've been telling me for a long time that I had something in me”She peered weakly at her sister who started backs at her.“Lauren,” they both said“Lauren?” I asked in confusion. Who was Lauren?“That's my t
