The King's Luna

What's the plan?

I bury my body in the sheets of my bed. I glance around at my old bedroom. It was the same except the few things I took out to pack. I wanted to keep a few things to stay connected to home. I closed my eyes letting anxiety take over. I was leaving early in the morning before anybody woke up to go find him. I needed to tell him the news. I don't know how he is going to take it and I'm worried. I think of his sad green eyes as I drift off to a dreamless sleep.

I scribble a simple note down tell them I left and promising to come see them soon. I didn't need them worrying about my disappearance. I sling my protruding backpack over my shoulders and walk out of the room. I hurry and make my way out of the house. I wasn't sure if my mate was looking for me or not but I wasn't going to take any chances. He would know I would go back home and this would be the first place he would look. I start my walk on the way to the bus stop and I can't help but this is me not only walking away from home but walking away from my past with them. This is going to be the end of the beginning.

I continue walking down the trail dragging my hand along the side of the bark of the trees. What if this is the last time I walk down this path? If I accept my mate what's going to happen? Or if he accepts me. I would be happy if he didn't then I wouldn't have to worry about all of that pressure but I knew somewhere deep down I would be completely and utterly destroyed. 

I make it a mile into the woods when I smell him. I inhale the scent deeply, memorizing it just in case.It was stale and obviously from our previous meeting when he wished me an early happy birthday.  Another scent drifts into my nose the smell of another him. My wolf's him. He's coming for me and if I smelled him he could smell me. I left an obvious trail of my scent behind too! How could be so stupid? I need to talk to him but I can't let my mate track me down and see I was with him or the other way around. I bite my lip as I continue to think about the decision. This would be deadly if they met like this. I swiftly turn back around and walk slowly back waiting for what was in store for the future Luna Queen.

I follow his scent all the way back to the pack house. He was inside and he knows I'm here. My scent would be completely obvious to him. I kick up dirt around the porch as I contemplate going in.

My hand grips the door knob. Why hasn't he come get me? I growl as I throw open the door. I stomp up the steps angrily as I follow his scent to my room. Why was he in my room? I sniff around again. Why is he with my father? I rip open the door to meet my so called mate when the knob falls off from the force. Two heads swivel around towards the door. Their eyes drifted from my angry red face to the broken knob that was still clattering on the floor.  Heat rushed to my face as I realise I had just walked in on a conversation that was obviously about me. My father looked anywhere but where I stood. I narrowed my gaze at him. How dare he let me go so easily? I turned my head swiftly to have my eyes meet with large worried golden eyes. I could feel all my anger drift away as I stared into his eyes. I could almost relax until he took a step towards me. A warning growl leaves my throat as the anger returns. 

My mate let out a loud growl, so loud it echoed around my room. I immediately fall to my knees. All wolves down down when they feel threatened by the alpha. You can't fight wolf nature. 

I slowly close my eyes and take a deep breath in. I stand up confidently making sure to not show any emotion on my face as I stare at him. For the first time, I get a good look at my mate. My squinted eyes gradually grow as I look over his face. I first stare into his eyes; they were completely golden and looked as though actual gold flakes were injected into his pupils. I look up to his long dark hair that cascades all the way down past his eyebrows. His cheekbones were prominent and his jaw was sharper than a knife. Lastly, his lips. They were alluring; I could feel the strong urge to kiss them and never stop.

I let in a sharp intake of breath. He was beautiful. He was more than beautiful. I couldn't help but stare at him. Being this near to him gave me comfort and made me feel love. But, being this near to him gave me uncertainty and made me feel weak. He was made of pure power. It was obvious from the way his body was made and even in the way he stands as if nobody could ever take him down. As if he is above everyone and everything. This was the man I was supposed to be with? No, I have a feeling Fate has a different plan in store for my future. I have a feeling things are about to get interesting and a whole lot messy. I can't wait.
