Chapter 0026
Elise rolled her eyes and sat back as the police car pulled up in front of them. Her phone beeped at that instant and she quickly reached for it, thinking it was her son. Before she could look at the message, the same strange scent wafted by, catching her attention again.
She looked out the window at the police officer now coming towards them.
"Good evening, officer. What seems to be the problem?" the driver asked in a friendly voice.
"Good evening to you. License and registration, please," he replied.
Luna Reign watched the man as he peered into their car. He's a human, no doubt, and he's not the source of the wierd feeling she's picking up.
His partner came out of the car but didn't approach them. Instead, he stood with the door open, smiling as he talked into a walkie talkie. That's the one with the odd scent, Elise thought. A young man that couldn't be older than her Nickolas. He's a half-wolf, alright. Luna Reign couldn't pay attention to whatever else the officer in front of them was saying to her driver. Her eyes and attention were on his half-blood partner. His profile was all she could see. She found herself wishing he would look at them. Instead, he quickly got back into the car, pulling her out of the spell. Her driver received a ticket as they apologized for passing the red light. As he tried to swerve back into the road, the car engine suddenly went off. He tried restarting it, but it gave a strange sound and went off again.
""What the hell?" someone cursed.
Elise Reign was still distracted. What the hell kind of feeling was she picking up from that male? she wondered.
"Did you sense the half-blood?" she asked no one in particular.
"Who? What half-blood?" Meg asked with a shocked tone. Has she never seen one before?
"Never mind," the Luna sighed. "What's going on?"
"It's a wiring problem, I think," the gamma replied.
"Is everything okay?" The officer that had just written a ticket sauntered back to their car.
"The car won't start," the driver told him.
"My partner knows a little about cars," he offered before calling out to the odd one, Hawke!"
At the same time, the driver tried again, and the car picked up.
Hawke? The Luna's heart shot to her throat at the sound of that name.
The single syllable pulled her back to the past she had long put behind. Or believed she had. She waited for the male to come out of the car, but as she strained her neck, she could see that he was still on his walkie.
swn'
"Guess we wont be needing your partner," her driver said. "Thanks, officer." He pulled into the road and they continued their journey.
Hawke is a common name, Elise
said to herself. That couldn't be the Hawke she knew so very long ago. Her heart was still thumping as the car sped away, heading to her son's resort. She kept looking back and straining her neck to see the other officer's face, but they were too far now.
"Are you... alright, Luna?" Meg asked, making her recollect herself.
"Of course, why?" she replied, her voice shaky.
"You... seem ill," the girl said hesitantly.
The Luna gave a deep sigh, urging herself to get it together.
"I'm alright. How far along is this damn resort?" she asked.
"Well, we're there," the gamma announced as the fancy signboard and a large gate came into view. It looked very much like a Reign asset. Rain resort, it read. "Yes, we are," she murmured, then looked back one last time as they entered the premises.
Her only son would be upstairs in that penthouse suite. He would be surprised to see her. He would complain and they would argue like they always did. But everything would be okay, because she has her family.
She was Mate and Wife to Zion Reign. There's no other man in life! No other baby boy in her life but baby Nick.
