I felt a warm fingers caressing my face. It feels nice that my heart would skip a beat. I don't want to get up yet. I'm still sleepy and tired.
"Handsome...it's already morning." My mate whispered. I opened my eyes then her gorgeous face welcomed my vision. I pout and I earned a laugh from her.
"Quit pouting, it doesn't make you cute." She said jokingly.
" Ouch!" I held my chest and acted hurt and again I only earned a laugh from her.
I love hearing her laughs. I felt elated just seeing her smile like that. How I wished we could stay like this forever.
"Get up now Ace, you still a have a lot of paper works." I sighed then lay on our bed again. I wanted to stay here with her.
"Ace Raven Campbell." I immediately jump out of my bed hearing my full name from her.
"Ok ok... I'll be taking my bath now."
I'm a werewolf and an alpha to be exact. I have a lot of works to deal with in order to keep our pack safe from rogue attack. I'm forming an alliance with other pack so that they could help us whenever we are attacked by these ruthless rogues.
A werewolf has only one mate or soulmate. My mate is Angelique Quin Claes. I'm an alpha and that makes her the Luna of my pack.
I pulled Angelique towards me then kissed her forehead.
"You're beautiful when you're mad, my Luna..." I whispered then wink at her. I left her blushing as I took my towel and headed inside our bathroom.
After I took a bath, I walked towards the kitchen where Angelique is. I heard a noise of a broken glass even if I'm still quite far, perks of being a werewolf.
I run fast as I could and I found Angelique lying on the floor unconscious.
"A-angelique!" I held her in my arms. My pack members started to gather around after hearing me shouted.
" Alpha! What's wron--Luna!!" My pack members panicked seeing their Luna in this state. I ordered them to get a pack doctor.
"A-are you alright?" I asked Angelique while lying on our bed. She nodded in response.
"Mr. Berkins, why did she collapse?" I asked our pack doctor. He can't look at me directly. Mr. Berkins spaced out. I think he is talking with someone using mind-link.
"Luna is fine, s-she is just tired." He said after a minute. I felt something was off. I held my mate's hands.
" Are you really fine? " I asked her.
" I'm... really really fine. Don't worry about m-me." She smiled bitterly. Tears started to fall on my eyes.
"Hey...w-what's wrong? I-Im really fine..."I know something was off.
" Angelique?"
"what's wrong?" She asked.
"I should be the one to ask you that. What's wrong Angelique? Please tell me..." She was surprised of what I said. She look down and shook her head as a response that there's nothing wrong.
"D-don't lie to me..." I stuttered. It's tormenting when she lies to me.
"Ace... I-I'm really fin--" I cut her off with her lies.
"Don't lie to me!" My gaze fall on our pack doctor. I Stared at him sternly.
"Speak! Or else I'll rip your throat." I used my alpha tone forcing him to speak. They can't resist me, because I'm their alpha. Mr. Berkins stared at Angelique with apologetic look.
"I-I'm sorry Luna." Our pack doctor apologized. He faced me then slightly bow down his head.
"A-alpha...Luna has a malignant tumor and it means her life is at risk." In a blink of an eye I pinned him on the wall.
"Quit joking around!" I can feel him shivered in fear.
"Ace! Enough!" Angelique shouted while crying. " He's telling the truth, I guess... I got this illness from my grandmother." I put down Mr. Berkins. I stepped backward like I don't know what's the first thing to do or say. I was lost.
I walked out then started running in the woods. I don't care where I'm going. All I want is to run and to ease this pain I felt. I let my wolf take over my body. As my paw started to touch the ground I run fast as I could.
It's already morning when I returned. My mother talked to about Angelique.
"Don't you care about Angelique?! She only have six months to live for heaven's sake!" My mother shouted. I felt my tears started to fall again everytime I'm hearing about her illness.
"Of course I care for her so much! I love her so much that I think I can't live without her anymore." I said miserably.
"do you think Angelique would be happy hearing that? Quit thinking that Angelique is pathetic. I know you know that she don't like that. "
" I don't think that " I defend.
" Stay with her and make her feel loved. She needs you the most now and you just left her like that. You'll regret wasting your time without her." I hurriedly went to the hospital where Angelique is.
After 5 months, I spent all my time with her. There's no single day that I'm not with her. I gave everything she desires. We treasure every moment together. To be honest I don't wanna lose her, but I guess this is our fate. If crossing the ocean, climbing the mountain, or even counting the stars would make her illness vanish then probably I did all of that. I guess the moon goddess don't want me to be happy huh? I smiled bitterly.
"Do you still love me?" Angelique asked suddenly while we're watching the moon while sitting on the sofa in the balcony of the hospital.
"What kind of question is that? Of course I do and I will always do."
"look at me... I'm bald now and I'm not beautiful anymore." She looked down while her tears were falling.
"Bald or not you're still beautiful to me and besides I didn't marry you because of your looks." I wink at her. She hit me jokingly while wiping her tears.
"Do you still remember what I promise before?" I asked and stared at her.
"That you'll bring the moon to me?" She smiled.
"I guess I can't do that anymore." I smiled. She looked down and was about to cry.
" Is it because I'm gonna die anytime now?" She asked broke.
" I can't bring it to you because you yourself is the moon. You're my moon who lights up my dark world You're not my Luna for nothing anyway." I slightly smiled towards her. She hugged me tight like there's no tomorrow.
"I love you and thank you." Her tears pained me. I clenched my fist. I called all the saints and pleased to God silently to give Angelique more months or even year to live.
. " Please take good care of yourself. I love you very very much" My
vision started to blur. I can't breath because of the pain I felt.
"W-why are you saying that now! you still have one month to live." I
brushed her cheeks with my fingers.
"Don't say 'I love you' like you'll
never gonna say it agai--" I freeze for a moment. Pain and sorrow
started to wash over me.
" You're being unfair Angelique, I'm not yet finished saying something.
Why do you have to go without saying good bye huh? I didn't even get to say
'I love you too' ."
There's really no tomorrow for us.
Two years had passed since you left me. I am standing here at your tomb with your favorite flowers. You will always be my moon that shines everytime I'm crying at night. If I get the chance to be reincarnated, I wish to spend another life time with you. "I love you, my Luna..."
