Kaden's Luna

Chapter Thirty-One

Chapter Thirty-One – Unwanted Visitor.

At exactly five in the evening, I am making my way out of the hospital, my feet aching slightly. All I want right now is to slip into a warm bath before changing into comfortable pyjamas and falling asleep. But, I promised Eva I would help her get ready for her date tonight.

Grabbing my bike, I put my helmet on and start cycling down the streets of Berlin city. It's relatively busy today and I immediately assume a lot of people are making their way home from work.

It takes me roughly twenty minutes before I reach home and place my bike in the back garden, unlocking the door and entering the kitchen. Leaving my things on the dining table, I rush upstairs and into Eva's room only to halt at the explosion of clothes in front of me.

She looks up with a panicked expression, her blonde hair in a messy bun. "Help."

I chuckle and close the door, making my way through the mess. We make a start on putting outfits together, Eva rejecting some I hold up and nodding to other ones. Eventually, we decide on a navy and gold coloured dress. The top is sleeveless with gold designs and the skirt is flowy.

After Eva showered and dressed, we only had an hour to do her hair and makeup. I work on curling her hair in soft waves before helping her with her makeup. When we finish with that, we pick out a pair of heels for her along with a coat she can wear.

She's in the middle of putting on her earrings when we hear Maddox asking if she's ready to go. I quickly pass her bag to her before following her down the hallway. Before she starts to descend the stairs, I hug her and whisper good luck before slipping away into her bedroom to clean up the mess.

I hear them talking before the door shuts. The sound of a car driving away alerts me that they have left before I go down to lock the front door and make my way back into the kitchen for dinner. Opening the fridge, I see that Eva has made extra dinner for me which makes me sigh in relief because I was dreading having to cook tonight.

I heat it up before filling up a glass of water and taking it into the sitting room. Choosing a movie, I take a seat on the couch before starting on my dinner.

It's around nine at night when I hear some noises outside. I had retreated to my room an hour before and Eva and Maddox aren't going to be back until later, so I'm all alone in the house. Frowning, I get off my bed slowly and make my way over to my window to check.

I peek out the window and see a man snooping around our back garden. My heart beat increases and I immediately grab my phone to call Rico. Kaden had given me his number in case of emergencies but I didn't think I would be using it until now.

As the bell rings and I impatiently wait for him to pick up, my heart hammers away in my chest. Finally, the call connects and I sigh in relief.

"Hey Luna, what's –"

"Rico, there's a man walking around our house." I cut him off, my throat closing in fear as I make my way downstairs and into the sitting room.

"What?!" He exclaims, the sound of a door slamming in the background. "I'm on my way Luna, don't worry. Can you see what he looks like?"

I move so that I am peeking from the curtains. "Um, he has a buzz cut, tall and muscular, looks to be in his mid-thirties I think. Hold on, he's turning towards the – he has a long scar down the side of his neck!"

Rico curses loudly and I hear some loud honking of cars in the background. "Luna get upstairs and lock your door. Don't make too much noise, he's a werewolf so he has heightened hearing."
