The Lycan's Soul Mate

Luna felt like crying but knew that if she did then her makeup would be ruined. She breathed deeply a few times and managed to compose herself. She was brought back to the few times that she had spent with Luca and seeing him in his wolf form. She never told anyone that she had met him in her dreams even before she knew him. She thought how he would gaze at her when no one was looking and the gentleness in his eyes when he looked at her. She thought about the firmness of his body and hoe well-built her was. His body looked like that of a god and she thought that it could take a hit.

All those nights that she'd gone to sleep dreaming that she was lying in the comfort of his embrace she thought to herself” I can’t lose him to her. What does she have that I don't?” Just then she felt her hands and eyes get hot. She looked down at her hand and saw that she was holding a flame. a flame which had emerged from her and was not in any way hurting her. She then tried to get rid of it before anyone saw it but instead it was replaced by ice.

Luna took a few deep breaths and she was human again. She could not risk this happening again so she walked up to the main table to her uncle and before she could tell him what was happening, she collapsed in his arms. Luna was burning up. Her uncle scooped her up and was about to take her to the car to get her home but the Lycan King, the prince's father and Lucas’ grandfather asked to take her to the guest room to not disrupt the ball.

He called one of the tribe's elders to see Luna. She was burning up and mumbling strange inaudible things. When he arrived, he told the King that Luna was the one whom he had seen in his vision. Lucian realized that she may be going through a change. He explained that Luna was only beginning to understand what was happening to her and that she may be going through some changes. He realized that her powers may be emerging. He smiled as he brushed her hair. “We just need to keep her comfortable. She's going to be fine. The very same thing happened to my mother and her great grandmother before her. Luna is special. She is able to manipulate the elements but I am not sure how much she can do as she is only learning. Something must have triggered her as it is happening so fast. You may return to the festivities. I will stay with my niece.”

Luca was dancing with Nina when he suddenly became uneasy so he decided to return to sit with his father. When he got to the table his father, grandfather and Lucian were all missing. He was surprised. He wondered what he'd missed. About fifteen minutes later his father emerged. “Dad, did something happen? Where did everyone disappear too?” he asked. “Lucian’s niece is feeling unwell, your grandfather asked that she be brought to the guest quarters until she recovers. Her uncle and Your grandfather are with her now.”

Luca was got up in a fit “I'm sorry did you say his niece? Was she here at the ball? Why is she unwell? What happened to her? Which room did you take her to?” I need to see her. she’s a friend. I mean she’s a friend of Soccorah'’s. I need to see how she’s doing so I can tell Soccorah.” He begged. “Luca, you have a responsibility. Her uncle is with her. This whole gala is for you. You need to choose a mate. At least pretend to be interested. All these families went through so much just to present their daughters to you today. You have a responsibility to at least acknowledge these girls. You have spent a quarter of the evening with Nina. Have you chosen her?”

“God Nina, if she were my mate then I would have known a long time ago she's more like a plaything. She throws herself at me every chance she gets. That is sure as hell not who I want to spend my life with. I'm hoping that it will be someone who is my equal, someone who challenges me wo pushes me to be better and yes someone who sets my soul on fire. That is not Nina.” He told his father. “Well then I'm glad to hear that you have your priorities straight. But you owe it to the rest of your guests to indulge them even if you have to pretend. You can check on Luna after the party. She's not going anywhere.” He smiled. Luca relaxed and did his father's bidding. He danced with all the girls at the gala and took his time to make them feel welcome and special. He was quite good at that besides who wouldn't want to be touched by Luca even for a second. He was so perfect and godlike. Toward the end of the evening the old King announced that a mate had not been found and that the festivities would continue at a further date.

Nina was furious that Luca did not choose her. How could he not. she'd gone out of her way to ensure that she secured that place. She needed to be his mate. She vowed that she would have him if it's the last thing she did. She stormed out of the ballroom and went to the woods to meet someone who had promised that she could help her accomplish this.

Luna was burning up and had been brought back to her dream of Luca under the tree in the garden on the moon. All she could think about was luca and how he never noticed her. He chose to dance with Nina and never Acknowledge her. She felt hurt and her heart was breaking into so many pieces. She didn't know how to recover. She finally settled when she felt someone gran her hand. She opened her eyes and her fever was gone. She looked up and saw Luca sitting next to her on the bed almost tearful asking her to open her eyes.
