My smart luna

Chapter-25

Naina's POV: 

As soon as I left the pack, I called Ana. But much to my dismay, she is not in NYC. She went to visit her family. So I went to meet my uncle. My cousins were worried about me. Because I didn't call them frequently. As soon as I entered the house, my cousins started bombarding me with questions. Luckily, my uncle noticed my sullen mood and sent them away. I went to my room, showered and slept for some time. At night, my aunt called us everyone for dinner. I was not feeling hungry but I didn't want to upset anyone. So, I went downstairs. A light conversation went on through out the dinner. I could tell everyone were concerned about my silence, but I could care less for now. My aunt tried to ask what is wrong with me but I just brushed it away saying I was tensed about job seeking. She brought an apple pie as dessert and we ate it. Soon after that, my cousins started bickering. I excused myself saying I was tired and went to my room.

It was 9 pm and suddenly a knock came on my door. I was not surprised to see my uncle. You see, after my parents died, he took me as his own. He is like a father to me. I opened the door wider for him to enter. We both sat on the bed. I was trying to control the tears that are threatening to spill. He gently took my hand and said "You know sweety, when your parents died, I took it upon myself to care about you. You are no less to me than my own sons. Never consider yourself alone because I am here for you. We all are here for you. Never ever consider yourself alone", he said wiping my tears. "How did you..?" "I saw the longing in your eyes during dinner and I know my daughter very well to decipher these kind of feelings", he said hugging me. I couldn't control myself and started sobbing loudly. "Uncle.., I...." I wanted to tell him but I couldn't. "Shh! there is no need to tell me anything now sweety. Even if you don't tell me I understand. I just want you to remember, no matter what, I will always be there to support you,", he said kissing my forehead. After my cries died down, he gently tucked me and left me with a goodnight kiss on the forehead. I tried to sleep, but no matter what my thoughts went to Xandy.

What is he doing? Is he still awake? Does he still think I am responsible for the kidnappings? Do he even care I left the pack? I wonder how the others are? Do they think I am a coward for leaving like this? Will they come for me? will I ever able to see them again? I couldn't sleep with all these thoughts. So I went down to get some water but to my surprise, my cousins were already sitting there each with a tub of ice cream. As soon as they saw me, they waved slightly and motioned me to be silent. I laughed silently at their antics. They insisted me to join them. I agreed because, why not? they both were great company and I need something to take my mind of things right now. So here we are at 3 am on the dining table licking of our spoons. We finished about two tubs each just in an hour. Yep! I know we will be in trouble, but spending time with my cousins is worth it. About 4 am, after completing another tub each, we decided to go to our rooms. We cleaned everything and went to our rooms. I was feeling tired so I slept as soon as my head hit the pillow. 

Xander's POV:

I couldn't sleep all night. Sophie's words rang through my ears all night. She is still mad not only with me but also with John and Andrew. She wouldn't allow him any where near her. But she needs to take care of herself especially in this situation so we requested Char to stay with her. At least John will be happy that someone is looking out for her mate. But after Char went there, she stopped talking to us too. And she slapped Andrew, kicked John and cussed me too. I guess Sophie told her what happened. On top of that John was kicked out of his house by both his mate and sister. But for John's wolf sake, Char promised she would inform about Sophie's condition from time to time, of course only after John literally begged her to. So, here we all are, in my living room, with a beer in each hand, drowning ourselves in our own sorrow. Me for making my mate upset and leave, John for making his mate, sister and luna upset and Andrew for upsetting his Luna and Char.  

Suddenly Andrew stood up. "That's it, I can't see you guys like this and I can't live with this guilt anymore. Go and freshen up guys, the first thing in the morning, we are going to bring our Luna back. I don't care what we have to do to bring her back. We will apologize, hell even cry and beg if we have to but we will bring her back. I will get info about her whereabouts and we will leave first thing in the morning. It's time to right our wrongs. What do you say guys?" he asked hopefully to which we both nodded and went to our rooms. "Hold on angel, we will get you back, we will do what ever it takes to bring you back."
