The Lycan's Soul Mate

Luna had been resting all day as she was given a sedative. She had slept all night and when she awoke the following day, she had no idea what terrible news awaited her. She got up feeling much better almost back to her old self. She headed to the bathroom only to realize that she was not at her house. She had clothes here as she stared at the opened duffel bag beside her bed. She remembered that she was still at Luca's house.

Though she was happy to be there she quickly went to shower and started to pack her bag. She took the bag and headed downstairs to o home. She needed to be at home since she was feeling so much better. She couldn't have those people thinking that she was weak or an opportunist. She had to leave Luca's house. As she headed to the front door, she had to pass by the dining room and was stopped in her tracks when a familiar voice called out to her.

“Luna, leaving so soon?” she turned to see her friend Soccorah heading toward her. “What's the rush at least have breakfast with us.” Luna was at a loss for words and dropped the duffel bag and ran up to her friend and scooped her up with a big hug. “Soccorah, what are you doing here?” she said emotion. “Can't a girl miss her best friend. Geeze.” They went into the dining room to join the others at breakfast. She was so happy to see Soccorah that she went through breakfast not noticing that her uncle's seat was empty and the gloomy looks on the others present’s faces when they looked at her. After breakfast Luca's father called her into his study and broke the sad news to her. Luna felt like her whole world had been shattered once more. “Is this ever going to end? Am I ever going to be granted a break? Every time I get even a semblance of normalcy, then something like this happens. What have I done to deserve this?” She cried out. Soccorah came in and hugged her allowing her to soak up her blouse in tears.

“I asked Soccorah to come as Luca told me how close you two are. You will need your friends to get through this. Rest assured that his death was not in vain and it will not go unpunished. Your uncle entrusted you to meso you will be moved to a room here at the soonest for your safety.” Luca's father told her. “OK, but I need to get my stuff from the house.” She replied.

He allowed her to go home to get her stuff with Soccorah ad some guards. She had not seen Luca anywhere. She wondered if he were ok and couldn't help but ask of him. “Luca is still weak and is resting in his room. He is recovering. No need to worry about him.” Replied the prince. Satisfied with this response she left for her house. She went into her room and started packing her stuff. Soccorah helped her. When she was done, she went into her uncle's room ad asked to be alone.

She entered the room and felt the warmth of the love that her uncle had for her. Though it was brief she was thankful to have met him and have him share in her life. He was always a breath of fresh air for her. He was always there when she needed a shoulder to cry on or to remind her of where she came from. How could he be taken from her so soon. It was hard for her to understand. She remembered feeling this way when her father was killed. She was so young and yet she remembered the heart wrenching pain and the sleepless nights.

Her so called mother had been there for her and come to think of it, Luna never paid attention to it but she never saw her witch of a false mother shed a tear over her father. How could she have trusted this woman. She was so lonely that she allowed this woman to fool her. She had kept her from her uncle and now she was dead because of her. She walked over to her uncle's bed where she had laid next to him when she was lonely and missing her father. He had been her comfort. He was everything to her and now he was gone.

She looked over to his trophy collection and remembered when they first met at her college. He had helped her when she discovered that she was a werewolf. He helped her discover that she was more than just a werewolf. That she was special. He was so proud of her. Proud that she had exceeded his expectations of her. He was her family. He was strong, He was wise and he loved her. Everything that he had done in his entire life had been for her, even when he didn't know whether he would ever see her again.

She cried her heart out in the room and pulled herself together. There was more at stake. Like getting revenge. Her uncle didn't have to die. She was robbed of a future with him. Lydia would die. She would die that was for sure. She would pay for what she had done to her and what she wanted to do to the packs. Luna's eyes glowed with fire in them yet she was calm. She managed to be angry and control her powers.

She opened her palm and a fire ball suspended over it then closed it and it disappeared. She lay down on her uncle's bed and took in his scent one last time before leaving. She knew that he would not want her to wallow. He would want her to be happy. She knew that she couldn't be truly happy until Lydia was dead. She made up her mind to not be weak and so she took a deep breath and left with Soccorah for the palace.
