Making Her Return ||COMPLETED||

31. HER RETURN

Dacia Lupu ran through the forest with tears streaming down her eyes. Her hair danced with the breeze as she kept running as fast as she could. A thousand memories flooded her mind: all memories of Dorin Bucur. All those times when he would scold her for climbing trees. The time she defended him from the pack members because they bullied him for being a Bucur and then for being an Omega. Back to her sister's wedding, when he was speechless looking at her, or when he was swinging her and telling her what it felt like to imprint. Back to the day he kissed her on her forehead and then when he was the lucky guy to be in love and to have imprinted on her just like she was the lucky girl to have done the same. All those times she'd call him hers and and even got married. Together they had defied one of the darkest times in the Lupu-Bucur Clan history. Dacia tried to wipe some of the tears away, but it seemed imposible.

{FLASHBACK}

Daciana and Sorin were getting ready to head on a journey. Silviu had stated that he'd tag along with them. Dacia simply watched their exchange in silence

-"Ah, Dacia"- Sorin spoke while walking over to her. "There is something very important that I should tell you"

-"Go on"- Dacia replied.

-"He said that when the right time came that I should tell you. I bet he must be anxious right now because I haven't reported back to him"-

Dacia tilted her head to one side confused.

-"Why are you looking at me like that? You should be running off right now to go and see your Bucur Mate"- Sorin continued.

Dacia's eyes went wide opened. She shook her head and suddenly wrapped her arms around Sorin. Dacia placed a soft kiss against his right cheek and then she dashed off.

{PRESENT}

Dacia kept running...To be honest, she hadn't felt like that in a very long time. She felt scared, sad and happy at the same time. Sorin's words kept echoing in her head and that's why she had dashed out to look for him. After so many years, was it really possible that he was still alive? She felt like her old self, the little and wild child that used to live in Lupu Manor. The girl who roamed freely despite being bound by some stupid rules. A smile formed on her face. She was excited to see him again. Dacia leapt from within the trees and headed to that special place. She headed to the little swing that hung from an old tree between the Bucur and Lupu territories. She stood before the swing and observed it somewhat nostalgically. The wind was blowing and made her red hair dance along with it. She placed her right hand over her left shoulder. That's when she felt someone jump past her and her eyes grew wide opened. Dacia's lips began trembling along with her hands. She tried to speak, but it seemed almost impossible. He was wearing some blue jeans, and a long-sleeved shirt. His skin still tan-colored like back then and now his smile lines were a noticeable.

-"What took you so long?"- his voice was just as she remembered, but it seemed it had it had a bit of a trembling to it.

She finally made eye contact with him. His dark eyes kind as ever. He has some small wrinkles next to his eyes and in other areas of his face, but even if it had been so long, he looked still looked young as ever. They both were supposed to be in their late fifties or their early sixties, but neither of them looked like it.

"Imagine you are looking at someone and suddenly, you feel as if time had stopped. It's like the only thing you can see is that person"

She remembered Dorin's words back then when he was explaining to her what Imprinting felt like. Dacia was immersed into his eyes and was unable to look away just like back then.
