Luna's Mating Games

Chapter 18

(A/N: Uh... Hi! It's been a long time. A lot happened after the passing of a family member that stunted me from writing. The past few nights I've been on here, thumbing through stories and found inspiration! This part is short, but more is coming. And they're going to be entering the arena in chapter 20! Please comment, vote, whatever! ENJOY!)

Green smoke wafted throughout the room. Luna lay on the table, screaming in pain as she felt like her neck was being torn open.

"I know, Sweetie. It's almost over. Now, deep breath." The blonde did as instructed and groaned and saw something white floating beside the witch.

"Is... is that my...?" Luna gasped as pain was subsiding.

"Sorry, Sweetheart. Birth control isn't allowed in the arena." Luna's eyes widened and she gripped her stomach.

"I'll be damned if he gets me pregnant, especially in the arena." Meadow was having bottles float over to Luna, even opening their caps.

"Now take these, it'll make the mark fade quicker and to make sure you don't hurt anywhere else," Luna nodded and swallowed the pills. She slid off the bed, and smiled at the dark haired witch.

"Thank you, Meadow. I was worried about having that on me." Luna rubbed her neck and smiled when she no longer felt the indentions of his fangs. Now her neck was free and the prince wouldn't be able to track her. Also it's free for Jagger to mark me. Luna shook her head to dash the thought. Luna walked out the door and down towards her room. She noticed the flights were dimmed and it seemed everyone was in their rooms.

The blonde was happy to actually have some time to herself. She rarely felt like she was alone these days. The guard nodded to Luna and she smiled as he opened and shut her door behind her once she entered. Luna decided to take a shower and have a smoke out the open window. She thought about the next day and the day after. Tomorrow was full of doctors, dentists, tests, and final preparations. The officials had to make sure everyone was healthy enough to enter the arena for the three days. Luna was more worried about her backpack of supplies. It should be pretty full, but she snuck some cans of food from the kitchen, just in case. Luna also thought about Jasper. He seemed genuine in wanting to help her. He also looked determined as hell to kill the prince. Luna wondered what his personal reason was.

Luna laid back onto her bed after shutting the window. This was going to be one of the last unmateless nights. The blonde turned onto her side. Be it by force with the prince, or by love with Jagger, Luna was going home with a mate.

"Good morning, Miss. It's time for your final tests." Maggie opened the door, slowly. Luna opened her eyes, then rubbed them. A dreamless sleep. Finally some peace. The blonde shooed Maggie out and got up, grabbing her coffee the other blonde had left. Luna settled on just a tracksuit. She was rarely going to see any other contestants, luckily. She also, unluckily won't be able to see Jen or Jagger. Jen was probably getting some extra sleep, and preparing their outfits for the last dinner.

It sounded ominous to Luna, but she knew it would be huge. It would also hopefully be the last dinner she ever had to attend with Connor at the table. While Luna showered she weighed everything. The possibility of being queen and mated to Connor... She couldn't even imagine. She closed her eyes and turned off the water. Luna wanted Jagger and she would have him. She knows he is her mate, herbs or no herbs. Luna knew that Jagger wasn't just handed the part without challenge. He had blood on his hands from ones who tried him.

"Miss? The doctor is ready for you." Maggie smiled at the dressed Luna and led her down the hallway.

"My God I've never been poked and prodded at so much in my life." Luna said to Maggie, blowing smoke out of her mouth. Maggie laughed and blew her smoke out as well.

"Oh I'm sure, Miss." Luna looked over at Maggie.

"I'm going to miss you, Maggie."

"You don't think the prince won't catch you?" Luna blew more smoke out.

"He can't. It won't happen. I refuse to live a life I do not want." Maggie nodded and put her cigarette out.

"Well Miss, let's get you ready for the last dinner."
