2 Moons Part 34

LEO'S P.O.V

Everything was going well until it did not and it did not the day Jayden bit him. They are still very much interested in each other, in all aspects of the word but they grow distant as if something crucial is missing.

Leo feels wrong being with his mate and there are times when he has this terrible thought that tells him this emptiness is not worth it. That he must master up all his strength and run far, very far away so that this feelings can evaporate. He knows that his logic is nonsensical, they are fated mates now and they took a literal term to 'to death do them part'.

That was his decision to commit which means there's no escape from all these feelings and that knowledge is enough to make him want to cry. There are days he wanted to leave his dammed beloved. Oh, goddess of fate forgiveness but it is nothing bad he just contemplated it. Okay, it does not help him if he keep contemplating his decisions.

It does not help that he keeps overthinking his situation more than once. And that any time he spends with his mate, feels like life is messing with him and each second that pass by is a dreadful reminder of the time and aching void, vacant in his soul a small yet significant vacancy. He needed his friend's advice, motivation anything to help him make sense of this mess. He found his happy ending, why is it not enough?

His canine sensed something different in Alex. He would have taken the time to figure it out but his self obsessed concentration is lost in his own problems. Lex just returned three days ago with a noticeable change but one insignificant enough that they banked it on her having sex for the first time.

His love for Jay is scary, it is so scary it is lonely. Instead of talking to Lex about her problems with her beloved Noah like he usually did... unfortunately this time he did not want to get into that just yet. The couple came over to visit him and again his anxiousness made itself known. Leo pulls Lex outside of his stuffy apartment leaving Noah there with Jayden. They decided to walk at first to clear their mind, the silence gave him time to think and make sense of where the certainty went. In silence they made it to one of the baseball fields and Alex unaware, jokingly punched her best friend.

"Congratulations on being the first in our friend group to be a bound wolf."

"Bite me."

He rolled his eyes and snarled at one of his best friends. She's clearly once more unaware of his panic, uncertainty or the red irritated scratch marks all over his body. A nervous control coping mechanism to handle stress.

"I am just joking but there is something wrong, right? Stop scratching, come here man. Talk to me."

Shit. Technically they are married but actually it went deeper than that, they are bounded for life. There was no going back, he cannot retrace his steps without hurting the both of them. Fuck. This was pure hell.

"Alex. I think I made a mistake. I love Jayden and cannot in vision my life without him but I don't know... There is literally a part of me that feels like running."

Leo freaks.

"Relax Leo. Look at me. You said you love him, right (Leo nods)? And he definitely loves you. I suggest you give each other a fighting chance, it is too soon to just give up especially on fate.

Sometimes fate puts you through hell and will find you someone who will walk through that same hell with you. Eventually you will find a way out of the degree of misery you reek of. Don't let the insecurity or whatever it is win man.

Trust me you will be miserable either way. It is your choice though, you can a spend time miserable with your fated mate and walk out... to a life where you will definitely be miserable without him.

Either way I will be by your side no matter what road you take. Just give it time, perhaps the feelings are still foreign to you and once you get a handle on the reality you will be able to celebrate your unity. Time is sometimes that one thing that will shock you."

"Weird. I sense something different. Mmn. What did Noah do to you, I know what he did but still what?"

"I will tell you guys first. I just need to get you and Lucas together first but right now I would love to help you with your problem."

Leo leaned in giving his friend a bear hug. Toby walked towards them waving with his phone in the air for the pair to wait for him.

"Lucas is bored of you already? No wonder we see your face today, Lucas took off?"

Lex teased the cute omega male and got rewarded a light punch on her shoulder.

"Haha. Very funny. Too bad I forgot to laugh. Besides, I was helping a friend out with apartment hunting for the New Year."

"Well look no further. I am moving in with Noah, so my apartment will be for grabs. It is small but cosy, it is affordable and the kitchen is to die for."

"Is this a coincidence or are we also pilling this on fate?"

- Leo quipped shifty eyed.

  "Yeah, I guess we are. Awesome. I will call Gab and inform her on the good news."

Toby disappeared attention engrossed in his phone call… They all knew Alex required help with the move that is why they all skipped breakfast expecting to be fed for their services being rendered.

"Let's go!"

Lex announced for the two to be snappy.

"Do you wanna talk about it?"

"No. My lease just ends today and I informed my landlord late that I want to terminate the contract. So, she is not very happy with me now... I am sorry guys but hustle, she might throw my shit out on the street."

GAB'S P. O. V

Hi. Her name should not be Important. She's at best just an art student, with a degree her parents negatively spit 'it is bound to leave her nowhere'.

In fact it went like this: "You throwing your life away for such a useless degree, your father is architect. You are so intelligent, yet you fail to use him as a role model."

Or there are cases whereby she is expected her mother to use herself as a role model. Because she is an omega wolf she should also be a stellar stay at home wife/mother with a neck of judging, criticizing her child's every move.

Unfortunately. One night one of the rival pack ended her entire pack and life as she knew it. Leaving the people who were not there for the massacre responsible for their own safety. Her pack members including herself are being hunted and killed to avoid retaliation, so she made it to the city. Her parents left her with nothing and she had to work two jobs just to survive.

Okay fine. She started off with a lie, she is a Rouge though, disregarded and raised amongst humans. That would be a perfect story to go with than, her parents did abandoned her as a child. She was found raised with children that were not wanted.

Okay fine,  she's probably lying again. She is not lie about the two jobs, she does stock taking and he got another job by the Coffee Cafe as a waiter. She was in the system until the age of fifteen when her dad reached out to her.

She has had to work for all the scholarships she received in her life time. For an artist this studio apartment as dark as if her creativity has been killed. This small, cold morgue that killed her drive for arts creation and now she has to move.

She has enough, money saved up for an apartment that did not let her regret her entire life choices. Although in retrospect she was barely given a choice. She got moved, pushed and confused around the system almost her entire life.

High school was when he met Toby, they kept in contact because to be quite honest they were her only friends that understood her. They spoke to her, Noah protected her and they became her solace that when they left to go to Moon she felt alone. They are the only ones that did not judge, critic or bully her and her life's bad decisions. Although she has an advantage against humans, she never used it. What can she say? She's a lover not a fighter.

Calling Toby hoping to surprise Noah with her presence. Toby was a year older and Noah treated them like they were his babies brothers even though he is not that much than a couple of months older than Toby. So, Noah is at best a year and nine months older than her and a couple of months older than Toby, at best. But she managed on her own. Now she's at the ripe age of eighteen.

It took her two years to be accepted to Moon Academy via scholarship. Oh yeah. She skipped a grade or two, if she was rich it would mean something, right? She saw enough of the world and have been exposed to so much she easily exelled over her peers. Right now education is the road to success, right?

One month later

Gab is majoring in English and literature. Her favorite things to do at her free time is creative writing that's why she's delighted that is also one of her modules. Wait until you read stories of what she assumes her parents went through. Imagine the beliefs or reasons crossed their minds to abandon their own flesh their creation or maybe she's projecting her inequities. It couldn't have been her the same way Zoe is not at fault, from what she gathered her mom abandoned her before she could even walk. Its funny how the apple did not fall far from the tree but that's a story for another day, not this day.

The moment her mom left, her mother who in her eyes was her everything just because her absence held the what if's. Her leaving left her to grow up in this forsaken place but she cannot judge her brutally cause her life decisions were definitely a rabbit hole she trapped herself in. She grew up using plurals to speak of her and embedded habits die hard. They at least left her with no memories.

Toby's friend, Alex really keeps a neat apartment. Goodness, she loves the kitchen since she loves cooking. In the orphanage where she kinda stayed for a while she was not able to cook but here she could learn from cook books Alex gave her and enjoy herself.

No claim... In fact she desire to remain single and focused on the direction of building her future, alone. she deserves that especially after the unjust, rebellious, regret tainted past she's been exposed to for as long as she could remember. That goal would be at a process of completion if it was not for those stupid bullies who made her chase them around the campus. You would think, once people leave high school they would grow up mentally. But no these bozos show up still immature and bored with their lives. These idiots invest their time to make everyone around them miserable for their pathetic boredom. The privilege they have, they do not to actually need to work to obtain good marks to retain their scholarships. Too bad she does not have daddy to bail her out, she only has herself... Always have and forever will.

She would have not chased but her rent money was in that bag and about 5:30 today is her deadline to pay. She ran until she could not anymore but thankfully someone stopped the bullies retrieving what was her. The guys literally ran away as if a storm was at foot. Then she saw it, lights, a rainbow and doves. Wait why doves? Besides they are a view, a handsome one to boot, probably in a relationship of sort.

She just stood watching them dumbly. She is certain they were making their own judgment of her based on their hungry eyes, it could mean nothing. Shit her glasses are in her bag so she has to confirm her sadden judgment by her senses and basic view of standard handsomeness.

Checking the time she inwardly groaned, the ass hats shaved fifteen minutes of her time. Shit! She has about ten minutes to get there. Walking up to what she smells are werewolf shifters: one alpha, the other a beta (she nod, certain with her findings previously). She reached to take the bag from the alphas grip and when nothing happened she bowed her gratitude.

"Thank you for assisting me today. I have to get going. If I may have the bag, please. Thank you again. Bye."

She ran as if her life depended on it, she did not want to find out what would happen if she paid her rent late. She's not ready to be homeless again, she has worked far too hard to obtain the money. When she got there the woman was thankfully tending to her kids, she barely got the time to check the time and for that she is extremely grateful. She was definitely seven minutes late, the woman looks up and smiles... She hands her the money. She smiles and wishes her a great day. She slid into her apartment room and shut the door mind still frazzled, her breaths more even.
