Howling For Love

Howling For Love 12 (Edited)

Chapter twelve

The next morning I was sore, but I had a funeral to attend. Diablo told me that after that night I was passed out for two days. I scrambled out of his heavy arms and kissed his peaceful sleeping face. I stood up and winched at the pleasant pain that went through my legs and core. I slowly walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower. I closed the door behind me and stepped into the hot water.

While I washed, I let my mind go. War was upon us, we needed to fight and I needed to train. I looked over at the mark on the side of my body. This mark was the proof of the power I held. The power that I needed to control. I needed to start training as soon as possible, but I would need Sasha. Diablo would never let me train if he knew of my plans.

I turned off the shower and stepped out, wrapping myself in a big fluffy black towel. I missed my parents. I sniffed. I will not think of them. I wil NOT cry. I reprimanded myself. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Still the same old Sinna. With the pale skin, silver white hair that hung down my back and the pale violet eyes. The only difference was that I knew who I am now. And my marks was prove of my identity. 

I am the Daughter of The Moon.

I turned around and walked out of the bathroom. Diablo was sitting up in bed and when he saw me, his eyes grew dark with lust. I smiled at him and walked over to him, sitting on his lap. I kissed him. "Good morning love" he growled at me and crushed my into his chest.

 He kissed head, "I will be here for you today. I love you Sinna" I stiffened when I was reminded about the funeral. 

I kissed him and whispered, "I love you too Diablo."

His hand gently touched my mark and I felt relaxed and comforted. I slowly got out of his arms and walked into the closet, noticing all my clothes from my house here. I swallowed. I quickly dropped the towel and got dressed in black lace underwear. I hear Diablo get up and walk into the bathroom, turning on the shower.

I saw some new clothes in the closet and I sighed. I guess Sasha went shopping for me. I pulled out a black lace dress and pulled it on. It hugged my curves perfectly. The black dress stood out against my pale appearance. The dress was a simple lace dress with satin ribbons that went under my breast in a small bow. I bend down and pulled on some mismatched socks, like I always wear and the pulled on my Doc Martin boots.

I heard the shower stop and Diablo coming into the walk in closet with just a towel hanging deliciously low on his hips. I swallowed the lump in my throat when I remembered the previous night. I rushed past him into the bathroom. I gave myself a steel gray smokey eye and soft pink lips. My silver hair   was drying in curls, so I just ran a brush through them. I stood in front of the mirror, lost in thought when Diablo's soft voice whispered in my ear, "We have to go. They are ready for us, Luna" I turned towards him and he pulled me into his arms and held me.

We walked hand in hand out into the forest. And breathed in the fresh forest smell and I had to resist the urge to take off my shoes and walk barefoot. We came to a clearing and a lot of people stood in a gathering. I assumed they were pack members. The clearing was filled with white flowers and I saw two bodies wrapped in white cloth on stone pillars.

I really appreciated that Diablo allowed my parents to be buried like the rest of the pack members. 

We walked to the front of the pack and Diablo squeezed my hand. Next to me Sasha stood, smiling softly at me. Next to Diablo stood a tall man. Very muscular. He had dirty blonde hair and tanned skin. He had brown eyes. 

I turned to Sasha questioning, she mouthed the words "Jack, the Beta"

Diablo spoke up, "As most of you know, I have found my mate" he smiled down at me. 

He pushed me a little forward, "This is Sinna. As you can see, she bares a remarkable resemblance to the Moon Goddess. Surprisingly, Sinna is the Daughter of the Moon." The pack looked at me shocked. Slowly one person bowed down, he mumbled "Luna". The rest of the pack bowed down. I looked around. Sasha and Jack bowed. I looked at Diablo. He stood errect but his head was down.

He continued a minute later, "My mate's parents was killed by Vampires. As tradition in our pack. We are born from Nature and return to Nature when we die." While Diablo gave his speech, I felt myself biting back the tears. I tilted my chin up. 

I can show no weakness.

Later the pack dispersed after giving me their condolences. Soon only Diablo and I was left. He turned to me, "We must walk into the forest now and you will choose a spot where you want to leave their bodies. I will carry them." 

I nodded my head and turned around. I bend down and took of my boots. Diablo turned to me, "Why do you do that?"

 "I feel more connected towards the forest, more connected with Nature."

I started walking off into the forest. I took a deep breath and ran my fingers against the trees. We walked for a while in silence. I came to a stream and a tiny waterfall. I turned towards Diablo, "Here" he nodded his head and left my parents and stepped back. 

I turned towards my mom, "You were always there. My only parent. Thank you. The way you died was undeserving." 

I turned to my dad, "You were there, but never there. You silence made me strong. Something that will always be important. Thank you".

I walked towards Diablo and crushed myself into his chest. His strong arms went around me protectively and he held me close. I sniffed back my tears. I had to be strong. I pulled down Diablo's head and kissed him. I looked into his eyes and whispered, "Thank you."

 He picked me up and started to walk out of the forest. I cuddled into his chest and buried my face into his neck.
