Luna On The Run!

Clarita’s POINT OF VIEW

It had been weeks since I had heard from Zane.

He had promised to contact me as soon as he got his affairs in order. All those words about never letting me go and making arrangements with me. At last, I had faith again that my life was going to get back on track and that happiness was smiling back at me. But I was betrayed, just like Matt, he dumped me after a few nice lines. Am I so easily taken, or am I just hopelessly naive?

I desperately need someone to talk to. Ariel, I haven’t seen for a couple of days. Maybe someone here knows where I can find her. I head for the kitchen, where I know the Omegas often gather to gossip. Serena, a kitchen assistant, is there chopping ingredients. We have met a few times and she seems like a nice person.

“Serena, have you seen the Luna? I want to talk to her, but for some reason I have lost touch with her”. The girl looks up from her work. When she recognized me, she smiled.

“Miss. Luna does not live in Eclipse Howl for the time being. The Council has decided that she should stay with the Alpha of Midnight Moon for some time. Don’t you know that she has two mates?”

My eyes widened in shock. Of course, I knew about that, that was why she had fled. So it turns out the other Alpha had his way after all. Now I understand why she stopped looking for me.

“But she didn’t say goodbye. How can she leave so suddenly? And where is Gorgio?”

“It wasn’t planned. According to the Beta, they went with the Council to Midnight Moon for talks. It was agreed there that Luna should also spend time with her other mate. She will be away for three months,” the girl replied a little sadly.

“The pack fears that she won’t come back. We don’t want another Luna, and I’m sure Alpha Gorgio doesn’t want another mate either. The two of them are perfect together, we love them as our leaders. Besides, Luna is a great warrior, next to Alpha, she protects the pack so well. We haven’t had any attacks for years,” she continues.

I thank her and leave the kitchen, heading for Gorgio’s office. As I was about to knock on the door, I heard a loud bang inside. Terrified, I pushed the door open and what I saw was horrifying. Gorgio was slumped over in his desk chair, looking drunk. There were shards of glass on the floor, he must have smashed the liquor bottle against the wall.

“Gorgio, pull yourself together. You must fight back and not give up! I’m sure Ariel is expecting you to stay strong”. I run to him and push him straight into his chair. His eyes flicker open and he looks straight at me.

“Why doesn’t she call me? She even cut off our mind link when she promised to talk to me every day. I miss her so much, these last few weeks have been hell,” he mumbles.

I run to his private bathroom, grab a towel which I wet. Back in his office, I go over to him and wipe his face and neck. He clearly feels better afterward and leans back on his desk for a moment.

“You are right, I must stay brave. I trust Ariel. She will never betray me, she knows she owns my heart. Nothing can keep us apart. She will definitely come back. I’m just hurt that she’s cut off all communication with me.”

And when he lifts his head, the confident look is back. “Thank you, Clarita. I feel much better now. But I also realize now that I left you alone for weeks when you were new to the pack.”

I bow my head in shame. “I was in Human Town a lot. I was in love with someone, but he dumped me. It is the second time that has happened to me. Maybe I’m not the type that men want to spend the rest of their lives with.”

“Hey, I don’t believe that. I know that humans have a different way of starting a relationship. They choose their own partners, get married and divorce later. But I still believe that everyone has their soul mate. It comes at the right time.” I shake my head at his words.

“For you werewolves. You and Ariel are great, your love radiates from you. But human men are so reckless. They promise women anything to get us between the sheets.”

“Is he human? Yes, that can be tricky,” he growled. “Come on, let’s see if we can find some snacks in the kitchen. After all that booze, I need something to put in my stomach”.

We walked out of his study and when we arrived in the kitchen, Serene was still there.

“Alpha, miss, what can I make for you? We have some kebabs, small pork ribs and cassava chips. That will last until lunch”. Gorgio takes them all, the man must be starving.

About fifteen minutes later, they are on the island in front of us. But then the smell hits me and I feel dizziness coming on. I grab the edge of the table to keep my balance, but then I feel my stomach turning.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Holding my stomach, I ran out of the kitchen and straight to the lavatory in the living room. I managed to get rid of the remains of my breakfast just in time. It comes with heavy retching until I collapse weakly in front of the pot.

“Miss, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” Serene brushes the hair out of my face. She holds out a glass of water, which I take and gulp down.

I lean against the wall and try to come to my senses.

“I’m generally healthy. Maybe my body is out of balance because of my moods,” I mutter.

“Well, let’s make sure. I’ll take you to your room and the pack doctor will examine you. In the meantime, I’ll make you some soup…
