Beautiful Luna

9. The Truth (2)

Gio's Pov

It was raining heavily, and I ran though that rain after my older brother. He looked very furious and at the same time very scared. I have never seen him like that before. Having small limbs at this time does not help me even a little, my brother just ran so fast that it was even hard to see him now. But I followed his sent his pheromones.  Almost after 5 minutes I caught up to him. My pace slowed down as I tried to catch my breathe.

Dario was standing in my vision, but I could not see anything other than his back as it was really pouring down that day. I called my brother many times, but he did not answer me. 'That is very strange'. I slowly walked towards him and just as I was nearing him my heart was beating frantically. For some unknown reason I felt something was not right with this whole situation. At that point I even thought maybe I should just leave but it was too late for that. I saw the east annex collapsed and there were rocks all around the place but that was not the shocking part. 

Dario was standing there I could hear him saying 'this can't be true... no this cannot happen.' I moved closer towards him. As I looked from behind him towards the collapsed building, I narrowed my eyes to see properly. I saw two figures hovering over the collapsed building. As my vision became clearer, I saw Mother and Father standing there. I started moving towards them slowly, for some reason I dare not try to speak. As I got closer and closer, I saw a hand coming out of that rubble of building. I did not recognize the hand, but I still knew who it belonged to. There was a promise ring in the ring finger. I know that ring I have seen it many times in the sketches my brother used to draw. 

When he turned eighteen, he started drawing this ring constantly in different angels saying he wanted this to be perfect for his future mate. And how much be bragged about how his mate will also love this ring. It was a wooden ring with a crescent moon and the moon goddess drawn on the top. Honestly it was so beautifully done. My brother created the whole thing by himself. I have seen him try this many times. Until he was able to make a perfect one, he was so happy that day. Through he knew he will have to make this again when he finds his mate because of the size of the ring. But still he enjoyed making something which can make his mate happy. 

I saw that same ring resting on the finger of this hand which was buried in the rubbles. Without even knowing my tears started to fell down my cheeks. I have seen my nanny go through so much pain when her husband was killed in the war and how after some time her wolf left her.  If one's wolf left them and their mate died, they would not be able to survive even a day without them and soon they will also follow them. I looked at my brother who walked wobbly towards the rubbles. I cannot even imagine how much pain he must be feeling. I wanted to comfort him and say it will be alright but how can I, when I don't know how much he is hurt by this. 

Dario moved towards his Mate 'Enzo... Enzo baby please...plea...' his voice broke as he fell down and crawled towards his mate. He held his hand and the tears started falling down his cheeks. Even though it was raining, But the sadness in his eyes was clear. His eyes were red from the loss of his mate and with anger. He bowed down kissing the hand and crying like a baby whispering to his mate to wake up and not to leave him. But all his pleas are not heard by anyone. We knew Enzo has long left us all. Even though I have just met him, but I knew he was perfect for my brother. I knelt down and cried myself too, seeing my brother go through this is terrible.

'Oh come on stop this mellow drama and get over it. He was just a useless omega.' Father said in a calm and irritated voice.   

Dario suddenly looked up at our father with malice in his eyes. As I looked at our parents, I did not see an ounce of sadness or worry in their eyes. Like it meant nothing to them seeing their sons mate dead in front of them. It gave me shivers down my spine by how calm they looked. I could not understand why that was. But Dario made me understand it in the next few minutes. And those few minutes are horrible and the most terrorizing memories of my life.
