Two Moons

Chapter Thirty Seven

May

"You, you love me?" Lucas asks, face brightening with every word.

"Yes. And it's you. I knew it and it was always you. I love you. I choose you," I repeat, sounding more confident. "I love you!" Smiling, I turn around, expecting to see nothing. But I see Jared. His face looks like I just broke him.

"Jared," I start.

"No. I was just leaving," he states stiffly, heading to the stairs.

"Jared!" I shout in exasperation. Lucas catches my hand.

"Give him a little time. He'll understand," he says softly.

"Lucas, he hates me now," I complain, pointing in the direction he left. The door suddenly slams shut. I cringe at the sound of hatred.

"Right now, we need to find a way to protect you from Derek. Jared was a strong guard. We need to find another one. Come on, let's go."

"Okay," I reply, letting myself melt into his arms. "We can always ask Maya and Alex. Even though Alex isn't a werewolf, he has a pretty badass right hook."

"Well, I don't really know..."

"Because Maya is a girl and Alex is human, right? Come on, I can handle myself, and they'll just be there in case anything happens, which nothing will happen."

"Maybe. I'll call James and Dylan. They should be here in fifteen minutes. But for now... date?" He asks, looking at me expectantly. I smile and nod my head, biting my lip.

"Okay. See you back here in thirty minutes?" I ask.

"Yeah. Wear something fancy and bring a swimsuit. We're going somewhere nice." And with that, I run to my room, hurried to find something perfect, completely forgetting about my ex-mate.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Finally, I slipped on my nude sandal heels, and carefully walking down the steps to meet Lucas at the bottom of the steps. I decided on a bold eye, with winged eyeliner and silver eye shadow. My hair is slightly wavy. I have on a navy dress with lace at the top, with matching white, navy and brown striped nails with a silver ring. I also had my white swimsuit in hand, plain bikini with a strappy detail at the top.

"I'm so glad I can kiss you and be able to know you're completely and utterly mine," Lucas grabs my hand when I reach the bottom and kisses it, then pulling me in for a kiss on the lips. I smile, and look up into his eyes.

"Where are we going?"

"Remember when I took you out for our first date and I told you I thought about being cliche and not telling you where, but decided against it? I'm going to be cliche now. So, you'll find out soon. I promise," he replies, kissing me, and gently guiding me to his car.

"Oh my God, Lucas," I grin, holding his hand.

"Trust me, you'll love it." I already knew I would, I mean, I love him.

"Did you call James and Dylan?"

"Yup."

"James! Dylan!" I turn around to see their faces. I run over to them and hug them. "Thank you so much for saving me back at the bookstore. I realized I never said that."

"Of course, Luna," Dylan smiles at me.

"I'm not Luna," I reply, confused.

"Of course you are. You and Lucas are officially mates, just you two. That means you're Luna because he's Alpha. Just go with it," James replies.

"How did you all know we're officially together together?"

"Pack-link."

"Guys, seriously, call me May. And that's an order," I tease.

"Sure thing, Luna." It's impossible.

"We'll go to the secret date location in our own car behind you, and stay around to protect you and stuff."

"Okay," I smile and turn back to Lucas, taking his hand.

Closing the door behind me, I follow Lucas into the driveway.

"Here," Lucas opens the door for me and I thank him, letting the door shut.

"Ready to go?" Lucas asks, stepping into the driver's side.

"Yeah." I smile, and look straight ahead. I think my life is about to fall into place.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"Would you like your check, Mr. Darting?" The waiter leans over the table, her cleavage popping out of her shirt.

"Yes, please, that would be wonderful," Lucas politely replies, even though each time she comes over here, I swear her shirt loses a button or two and her skirt rides up a little higher.

"Okay, sure thing," she winks. I waited for her to leave and get it, but all she did was seductively bite her lip and sticks out her lip to form a pout with her obnoxiously large Kylie Jenner lips.

"Bye." I look at her, waiting for her to leave.

"Right." She scurries off, leaving the check on the table. Lucas raises an eyebrow at me, and I roll my eyes.

"I did not expect you to be the jealous type," he teases.

"Yeah, well now I only have you, so kind of," I joke around. He scans over the check, his eyes suddenly turning dark.

"What? Did she right the order down wrong?" I ask, worried. He doesn't reply, hands clenching, knuckles turning white. His hands start to shake, and he grits his teeth.

"Lucas?" He still doesn't say anything back, so I take the check from him, reading over it.

Lucas,

I really wish you didn't find out it was your mother who was the mole. Even after I tried to kill Maya, which she surprisingly survived wolfsbane and silver, you found out. I actually really want her to join my side, Maya would be a great addition to my little group of misfits. I had to kill your mother earlier today, so she wouldn't say anything if you tried to get her to say something. But hey, looks like May finally chose you, finally. It's always either you or Jared around, but now Jared's gone, I can't do a surprise sneak attack. But to be quite honest, I was rooting for Jared. It would be easier to kill her without you around. In two days, I will be on your pack grounds with an army behind me, so be ready to fight for my dear sister's life. Do not underestimate me, I will not hesitate to kill every single on of your pack members, even if it is someone I can actually stand. And your welcome with the check, I got that covered.

Much care,

Derek
