The Lycan's Soul Mate

Luna left early the next morning to explore the new packs hotspots but more to go shop for the dinner that they were invited at the end of the week. She took her uncle's jeep and her new credit card and set off. Luna couldn't help but think of Luca. She didn’t even know whether he liked her, hell she didn’t even know whether he had a girlfriend. She was way too proud to ask Soccorah about that. Yet she seemed to miss him more than she missed Soccorah who was her best friend.

All she had to remember Luca by were some stolen intense glances, a few stares and accidental touches.

She needed to shake it off. If she were to even attempt to get this prince to fall for her then she would have to try to get luca out of her head but it was so hard with him invading her dreams every time she shut her eyes and whenever she drifted. She could see his beautiful face, his eyes, his physique. “Luna gets a hold of yourself.” She shouted at herself. “Damn” She came up to a big mall so she parked in the lot and made her way inside.

As Luna walked up to one of the stores, she realized that there were some people staring at her. She was used to it by now with her white hair and all. She had recently come to realize that people stared not because she was strange but because she was so beautiful. She thought to herself “Let's hope that beauty is enough to entice the Lycan prince. It sure as hell wasn't enough to get me Luca.” She walked into the store and immediately fell in love with a beautiful mermaid dress which stood in the middle of the store. The dress was breathtaking. It was an ivory plunging neck dress covered with rhinestones. She saw a perfect pair of rhinestone 6-inch heels to match and asked to try it on. The store attendant was happy to help and when Luna stepped out the attendant couldn't believe her eyes. She looked like a goddess even without accessories. “How do I look? Do you think this is ok for a dinner? I was told that I should dress formal like a ball so I thought” Before she could finish the young attendant replied “Perfect” with a shriek of approval. “I can tell you where to get the perfect accessories to match. You must be from the new beta house. Everyone is talking about you. The Lycan prince has been summoned home to choose a mate a little earlier than previously planned so they're throwing a dinner, more like a ball. All the eligible girls are invited. Makes it easier since two packs are now one.” She told Luna. “So, I've been told. Will you be attending this ball?” “Oh no I've already found my mate we were married last full moon. But since you have to attend you should look out for Nina. The Alphas right hand's daughter well adopted daughter. He found her as a baby abandoned during a rogue attack. He raised her as his own as he and his mate have no children of their own. She is very strong and talented. She's a beauty too. But her attitude sucks. She thinks that the prince belongs to her as they have been fucking buddies since he came of age.”

“Well thank you for the warning and the advice. I will keep it in mind.” With that she left. Luna went to put the outfit in the car and came to a small shop next to the mall and out of curiosity went inside. There was an old woman sitting behind the counter. The shop was full of old book on Lycanthropy and shifting. Werewolf stuff. When the woman saw her, she seemed happy, surprised and afraid. “When the goddess finds her mate then the great enemy shall be defeated.” She uttered. He granddaughter came up to the counter and said “Good morning, can I help you?” “Well, I was just looking around. I just moved here so I thought I'd familiarize myself with the neighborhood. The old lady stared at Luna and suddenly excused herself and left. “My grandma has visions and when she gets them, she reports to the Lycan King and he decides whether it is important to pay attention to them or not.” She laughed. “Oh ok. I'm still getting used to this world. I grew up in the human world, my parents were killed and my adopted parents raised me. My uncle just recently found me and helped me through my transition when I started to shift and I'm learning more about our life as we go along.” Just then Nina walked into the store and asked the old lady's daughter whether she was going to the ball. She didn't even pay attention to Luna. She just jumped in and started talking. Luna excused herself and left. While she was walking away, she heard Nina ask the girl who she was.

Luna had thought that everyone was ok since her interactions but Nina was not nice at all. “I guess you get one of those everywhere you go. Nina got into her Ferrari and followed Luna around town and finally home. Her jaw dropped when she saw where Luna lived. She was furious. She couldn't believe that Luna was going to be her competition. She knew luca's type and she knew that he would want her. Nina went inside her house and went to her wardrobe to look for outfits. She had to be breathtaking. She needed to standout. she needed to outshine this new girl. Damn that girl.

Luna went home to tell Soccorah about her day. She spent what seemed to be the latter part of the afternoon on the phone. She told her about the people and the pack members and a stuck-up girl that she met in one of the stores. She really missed her friend. She asked about luca and Soccorah told her that he was ok but he had to leave for urgent pack business. She wanted to ask whether Luca had asked about her and where exactly his pack was but she changed her mind. She didn't want Soccorah to think that she was interested in Luca when she had to be working on getting some other wolf attracted to her.

She bade her goodbyes to Soccorah and went to sleep. That night she remembered what the old lady had said in the book store and dreamed again. This time she dreamed about herself and Luca going their separate ways again and a voice from the tree saying “When the goddess finds her mate then the great enemy shall be defeated.” She awoke with a shock. This was familiar to her.
