My Mated Luna

Logan

      After getting off the phone with Charles, I rushed around getting my bag packed and settling pack business with my Gamma, Alec. It was such short notice but I told him I would explain it to him later. Felix was already in the car on the phone with our airline captain. We wanted the jet to be ready when we arrived.

    It took about twenty minutes to get to our plane. Once we were in the air, I kept saying to myself that if she doesn't pull through, I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't live in a world where she doesn't exist. It already took me ten years to find her, only to find out she was married. Even though that was heartbreaking, it would be devastating if she died.

    I couldn't stop thinking about her all through the flight all the way to the walk to her room in the hospital. When I got to her room, I walked in looking right at her.

    Seeing her in this condition, made my heart hurt. There was this pain in my chest that I wanted to go away.

    She had tubes all over her and she was hooked up to this machine that was breathing for her. It was hard seeing her like that. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to her, again. The last goodbye was because of the fact she was married and I could never have her. But this is more painful.

    I was glad when Charles left the room, so I could be alone with Mira. I sat in the chair beside her, taking her hand in mine, I told her she needed to pull through. "You can't leave me!" I said, "I won't let you. You are my soulmate and I can't live without you. Please, please wake up."

    When she didn't do what I asked, I laid my head down beside her, on her bed. I started praying to the goddess to help. Then I prayed to her God to not take her from me. I need her to pull through this.

    A couple of hours later, her children walk in, looking strange at me. They asked who I was and how I knew their mother. I told them I was a friend. They told me their names and told me they were 10 and 5 years old, then walked to the other side of Mira's bed.

    A little later, Charles walks in and tells us that it will be soon and he wasn't staying when they pull her plug. Why wouldn't he stay with his wife? I thought he loved her?

    I just stared at the man with anger and confusion. I couldn't understand why he would leave his wife in a time like this. And it hit me, I've noticed how he acts around her and looks at her with such disgust. He doesn't love her anymore.

    I don't see how anyone could ever stop loving someone. Call me old fashioned, but if it's love, it will last forever.

    I listen to the doctor tell us what they will do and what will happen. I try to hold back the tears. The boys are sobbing and trying to be strong at the same time. No boy should ever be without their mother.

    The youngest one, Kaden, took my hand as the nurses turned off the machine and took all Mira's tubes off. They said it could take a few hours. We waited but then something happened.

    Mira's eyes start to flutter open. I rush to her side. "Logan?" She asked hoarsely. "Yes, Hun I'm here." I said with joy in my voice. She looked over at the boys and smiled. "Hey guys, why the sad faces?"

    They just started balling as they hugged their mom tightly.

     We sat there with her, talking about what happened to her. She remembers, which is a good sign. The doctor wants to keep her for a few days to make sure she is well enough before sending her home.

    The boys were at school when I asked her, "Mira? Can I ask you something?"

    "Yeah." She said smiling at me. It took a lot to ask her not know what her answer will be. "Will you and the boys come home with me?"

    She took a minute to think about it but responded, "Yeah, but first I need to tell Charles."

    I agreed with her and we just sat there watching TV. I was so excited that she would be coming home with me.     Even Charles was fine with her and the boys moving to Michigan. What a jerk! I thought. But I was fine with it, in a way, because she was my mate and I wanted to be with her. I had waited my whole life to find her, and now she will be mine.
