The Lightning Luna

Chapter Five

The spell wasn't hard. Actually, it was one of the easiest spells I'd ever done. The entire time I was preforming the spell, Alex was nervously twitching and shaking his foot, which was really distracting.

After preforming the spell, and hearing my mother say that it would take a little while, I walked silently to our room, and perched on the end of the bed while Alex moved around the room cleaning random things. He moves his bedside table to the other side, and completely stripped his bed before putting fresh linens on it, then he picked up all of his clothes and threw them in the hamper. He even went as far as to get a wet cloth and wiping the dust off of the cealing fan and his knick knacks.

"Are you nervous?" I ask, a grin on my face. Light was giggling in the back of my head as she watches our tense mates zoom around the room making it look like a OCD female was in the room instead of an Alpha werewolf.

He gives me a confused look from standing on the chair to reach the top of his book shelf, "What gives you that idea?"

"The fact that your acting like my mother." I raise an eyebrow, "Get off of the chair, Alex."

He sighs, and drops the dirty towel into the hamper, before walking over to me, and wrapping himself around me. I curl into him, and notice how perfectly we fit together. We really were perfect for eachother.

"Yes." He murmurs, his face in my hair, "I'm not only nervous, but completely terrified. Striker, I-" He sits up suddenly, and looks into my eyes with so much intensity that I blush, "I love you. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you, and knowing I can't do anything about it an it pisses me off." He winds his hands around my waist, and presses me against him, "I want to protect you, but I can't protect you from yourself, doll." He nuzzles my neck, "Fight it. Please. If not for yourself, then for me."

I wanted to be angry at him for even thinking that I wanted to succumb to this stupid disease, but I couldn't. Instead of lashing out, I did the only thing I could think of. I smile softly at him, "I will, baby boy." He pulls me tighter, and I hold him.

When I woke up, Alex was asleep next to me. I breifly wondered when we'd fallen asleep, but then I smelt the alcohol on him. I scrunch my face and pinch my nose. Gross! He reeks!

I sigh, and make my way out of the room. It was late, and I walked into the kitchen only to see Ace asleep on Ania's lap.

"Luna?" She asks, her hands not stopping the constant combing of her fingers through my brothers' black hair.

I smile at her and wave, "Alex somehow got drunk and passed out while I was asleep, so I came down here. Sorry."

"It's alright." Aria grins at me, before it falters, and she sucks in a breath, "Listen, I want to apologize for what happened when we first met. I never meant to get so obsessed with the Alpha, and after we slept together a few time, I became attached and I felt like he was my mate."

"Why didn't you just listen to your wolf?" I ask quietly, and she shrugs.

"My wolf wasn't so sure either."

It suddenly clicks in my head, and an image flashes in my brain. I figured it was just Light doing something, but then I note that Light is asleep, and I'm all alone on this.

Light! I scream at her, and she jerks awake. I can feel her panic as she tries to grab the image before it gets away. Soon enough, she has the image displayed infront of me, and I can no longer see outwardly as I look at the woman that was helping my father hide; the woman that knew where my father was... was my mother.

Diana.

No. Light whispers to me as we both stare at the picture of my mother. She's helping him...
