CHAPTER THREE

LUCAS POV

I woke up still feeling sleepy but it's not really fun sleeping at noon, I got ready and went downstairs to find my  siblings Arthur and Lucie on the couch arguing about goddess only knows, I yawned and went to the fridge to get some cereal

"Look who finally got up" Arthur said with a smirk

"Oh the panda" Lucie replied and they burst out laughing

"Yeah yeah you guys weren't on the receiving end of what happened yesterday" I replied with a yawn again

"Whatever panda" Lucie replied before they looked at each other and came and sat down in front of me with serious looks

"What" I replied tired of them staring

"Have you talked to Olivia" Arthur asked with a concerned look.

"Ugh guys I'm trying to forget" I groaned remembering the shattered look in her eyes, and my heart broke again.

"What are you going to do about it, you soon have to start searching for your mate too"

"I won't" I say voicing out the thought that has been on my mind all night

"What do you mean you won't" mom asked from the entrance as she and dad came and sat down, great an unplanned family meeting

"I still want Olivia as my Luna and wife"

"Lucas" my dad said standing up and I could feel his anger from where I stood

"I love Olivia and I didn't find my mate yesterday either, it's not my fault she wasn't there and I won't leave my pack to look for her, Olivia Kai will be my wife and luna I say with finality.

"You'll regret it Lucas it's only a matter of time and I hope your mate accepts you then " my mom says with a calm frightening voice that made me halt in my steps to leave, I turned and looked at her.

"What do you mean by accept me"

"Olivia may become your wife and your Luna but not mine or the pack's. I won't give Olivia the Luna's powers unless you kill me and take it by force" she said and that's when I notice her eyes were black with shimmers of silver that shone as bright as day.

"Olivia doesn't need the Luna power to be a Luna cause she is a true one ".

"The day you bring her to this house as your wife consider me dead to you Lucas Aldéric" my mom said with a voice that could send shivers down the strongest men.

I looked at my mom shocked by what she said "mom you don't mean that" I said with a small voice

"Oh I do" and that's when I noticed I wasn't talking to my mother, I was talking to the Luna of the pack, she looked at my me with one last stare and left the room, dad following behind her.

"Are you really willing to loose your mother for a woman who isn't your mate" Lucie says with anger as her eyes shone a deadly red.

"Lucie, calm down" my brother tried calming her but that deadly glare never left me

"Then put some sense in your brother's head Arthur" she said and left too.

My brother sighed and went and sat down on a chair looking directly at me

"What, ain't you supposed to say your own threat too".

He shook his head as if he couldn't believe what I just said

"Lucas what the hell is wrong with you, this isn't a threat it's a warning " he said as I saw how he struggled to keep his cool.

"But here's a threat if you want one Lucas, the day you hurt our mother because if that girl, it'll be the last day you'll look in the mirror without seeing scars of shame all over your body"

I stared at him and he stood up and finally left me alone, I fell to my knees trying to support my raging heart, why couldn't they just understand that I'm in love.

10 months later

A lot has changed in the range of 10 months, my mom and I haven't spoken in that 10 months heck I don't even know where she is, I thought she was bluffing when she made that threat but the day I married Olivia she disappeared, I have spent countless nights looking for her but all to no avail

Dad hasn't been the same ever since, he was always looking for her that we had to confine him to his room, he looked dead, seeing him like that was  killing me and knowing I caused it is a feeling I never thought I'll experience.

Lucie left the house, by day she takes care of the pack and looks for mom, and she comes in the night to take care of dad she does that to make sure I don't see her and it's hurts to think she might hate me

Arthur doesn't look at me anymore, the day mom left I saw a side of him I didn't know existed but he didn't hurt me at least not physically cause the look he gave me that night hurt more than any beating

Only goddess knows how I keep this pack afloat but I have.

Olivia supported through it all, everyone was against us marrying some still are but I guess the only reason the tolerate her is cause the pack is running good infact it's great

"Hey babe" Olivia said lying down as she kissed me and pulled me from my train of thoughts

"Hi" I said with a small smile I found hard to do this days

"The warriors went to look for the Luna early today" she said with her head on my chest

"Mhmm, Olivia do you think she's fine" I said in a small voice as she cleaned the tears coming from my eyes

"She is fine babe, the Luna is one hell of a woman" she said as she hugged me tightly and I sobbed

Olivia fell asleep as soon as I calmed down, she seemed pretty tired I smiled and kissed her .

As I was about to sleep, I heard some loud commotion outside as Olivia woke up startled cause of it we looked at each other and came down quickly

"Dad please go back to bed" Lucie tried pleading with dad and as I looked at her for the first time in months she has bags under her eyes, her hair longer than usual

Arthur was also there trying to calm dad down

"Alpha the Luna is back". A warrior yelled through the pack link

I stood there shocked as well as my siblings but dad rushed to the door and warriors and people came inside, mom came from behind as her and dad fell into a soul crushing hug.

You could see the love oozing out of them literally, dad pulled mom into a passionate kiss as he held so tight like she would disappear if he loosened his grip on her

Lucie and Arthur threw themselves at mom who almost fell with a loud laugh.

"Mom" Lucie said literally trembling now

"Oh my babies, I'm so so sorry" she said as tears fell from everyone's eyes...

Mom turned and our eyes met for a second before she turned quickly like it burnt her.

In my 19 years of living nothing hurt more than that.

I kept my head down that's when it hit me, a beautiful scent like rain and forest , I rose my eyes to see the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on.

She had gorgeous dark brown waist length hair with gorgeous dark green eyes that reminded you of nature she had faint freckles on her face but you could see it cause of her pale skin, her curves were at all the right places and as our eyes met I finally felt that spark  I should have felt 10 months ago

"Mate"....we both said together as our eyes met.
