Luna

Chapter 18

Luna POV

It has now been a few days since Renesmee was born, and Bella being reborn as a vampire. And she came out to be a really hot vampire.

Of course, I came, greeted, and congratulated her. But I also told her that I wouldn't be staying in Forks anymore. There was just too much drama and fighting happening between the pack and the Cullen's, so I made the decision to leave on my own with my family staying back since Jake wanted to be close to Prim.

They'll make a cute couple when Prim grows up.

I smiled at the thought.

I was currently in my room packing everything I will need for New York when a male scent invaded my nose. Mate.

"So, you really are leaving," Paul said as he stood in the doorway. "After everything we talked about and agreed up, you're going to leave me again."

"It's for the best," I responded not looking at him.

"What's for the best?" He asked as he stepped fully into the room and closed the door behind him. "Leaving Forks and never coming back? Or leaving me?"

"Forks," I answered, not lying one tiny bit. "There is just too much drama and arguments happening in such a small town."

"And what about me, Luna? Do you really want to leave me again?"

"No," I whispered. "I don't, but you gave me no choice when you sided with Sam instead of me."

"He's my Alpha, Luna! What was I supposed to do?!" Paul yelled angrily. I could tell this was about to turn into a heated argument; which I did not want.

"Side with me! Side with you mate; your imprint!" I yelled back at him as I now turned around to face him. "I'm your mate, Paul! Your wolf could have any leader it wants, but a mate comes once. You told me that a shifter also has one imprint. One, Paul! And you decided to chose your leader over me."

Paul huffed in pain, just like I was currently in pain from the truth spilling out of my mouth. "Are you going to break up with me again?"

That made me question myself. "I don't know. I don't want this relationship between us to be on and off again. It hurts me too much. Especially my wolf."

"Then stay," Paul encouraged as he came up to me and took my hands into his. The way my pale hands and his tan hands looked together looked unreal; like a clear representation of our different lives and backgrounds. "Stay with me, Luna. We both know that we need each other."

I shook my head, making Paul sigh. "I cannot stay in Forks. I thought I could, but I can't. I love the fact that my family settled here, but not me. I cannot stay in once place forever, Paul. That's not how I want to live."

Paul seemed to realise my words now. It create a long silence between us before he finally spoke up. "How about I come with you?"

I looked at him confused. "What?"

"Let me come with you," he responded and gently took my face into his warm hands. My hazel eyes met his dark brown ones. "We can go and travel the world, not settling down anywhere until we find the correct place."

I was shaken to my core. I could not believe what I was really hearing. That he, Paul Lahote, the former hot-headed player of La Push wanted to travel with me and settle down.  "Really? You would do that for me? Leave everything and everyone behind?"

"For you, yes," he answered as he grabbed my chin lightly and pulled me impossibly close to him, which also made him tower over me. "You're my imprint, Luna, and now I realised how truly important you are in my life. I will go and follow you to the end of the world, just to be with you."

I felt myself tear up at his words. I could not believe what I was hearing, but this is exactly what I wanted. To be with my mate, exploring and learning everything there is in the world to be know. This made me realise how deeply I love him, and how much I want to spend the rest of my life with him. 

Goddess, I love him.
