Mute Mate

Chapter 19

Lux took full control and I could feel all of my energy and power draining to her. I really hope this works Lux. She looked into the eyes of Dillan's wolf, Ash. The name fits perfect as he's a black wolf with bright orange eyes. Ash bore his teeth and growled at our...wait, did we grow larger? No time to think of our appearance Bliss. But yes, we have grown in many ways. There was silence after Lux's comment, I was left with just thoughts as she held our life in her paws. 

Ash lunged at our frame with severely long claws extended and was about to land on Lux, but in one swift motion, she leaped out of the way. Ash hit the ground hard with a 'thud' and grunting in pain, but quickly masked his injury and got up on his feet. He looked angrier than before and it seemed to cloud his judgment has several times he would lunge and again, Lux move out of the way. At this point, I was confused at what Lux was trying to achieve, but it hit me, she is using his rage to exhausted him. She had been using this time to plan on how to take him down and run.

Its been about six minutes of just 'play time' until it got serious. When Ash looked at our large figure, you could see the exhaustion in his face. Lux's plan is settling in, its the moment that decides our future. 

The fight turned into a brawl, both wolves on their hind legs, biting each other, fighting until one surrenders or dies. Claws fling through the air, teeth biting whatever they could, pushing and kicking...blood. Blood everywhere, both Lux and Ash's. I could tell Lux was wearing down, but one more hit and we could be free. Come on Lux. You can do this, your strong. Let's get home to Jacob. I encouraged, trying to motivate her. Ash lunged once more, but instead of moving out of the way, Lux went into mid-air, lunging right back at Ash. In one swift motion, but seemed like slow motion, she was able to latch her teeth onto Ash's neck and pull him down. She was going to break his neck, but to our surprise, he surrendered. 

Lux let his neck go and he went limp from exhaustion, giving us time to run. Lux ran faster than we've ever run, to the wall. She built up more speed and right before hitting the wall, she leaped. Mid-air, not knowing if we were going to make it, I held my breath. Lux barely hit the top of the wall that was maybe twelve feet or more and landed on the ground somewhat flawlessly. We continued to run at a fast pace and I had no idea where we are headed. I know the way. We'll be back at the pack in no time.

How do you know?

As a Luna, you just know. It's a feeling and if you really sense it, you can feel it too.

I attempted and after what felt like forever, I found it. It was somewhat strong and I could feel the packs bond fulling me towards where I belong, to home. It was maybe 6 hours later, I felt the bond really strong, I even tried opening mine and Jacob's link. 'Jacob?' I asked anxiously for him to answer, to hear his voice. I never really knew and understood the link, so I never use it, but I felt stronger now, it made me happy. 'Bliss, oh my god, is it really you? And using the link!' I heard his overwhelmed and shocked voice. 'Yes, we're on our way home and coming in fast.' I found my self giggling with excitement as we reach the pack. In the distance, I could see the familiar trees and flowers and soon, home. Lux runs faster, even as tired as she is, towards home. Hopefully, he'll recognize us even with our scabbed cuts and injuries. Silly, they'll be able to smell us. Lux giggled, tiredly. Right. I giggled along. 

We ran close enough to the door of the pack house and felt Lux giving into her well-deserved sleep as we started shifting. I was left laying on the ground, cold and sore and with triumph, I finally got up. Just as I was able to balance myself, Jacob burst out of the house with a dismayed look as he ran over to me and wrapped his arms around my small waist. "I can't believe it's you...." he said, holding me slightly tighter.

"Better believe it!" I said, earning a small laugh.

"How'd you get out? I thought he would've killed you?"

"I made a deal with him. I fought him -which your training really paid off- and if I won he would have to let me go. However, that wasn't easy because I had to jump a really tall fence, but I made It! Then I also had to track where the pack was, but because I am the Luna apparently I could 'sense' it," I ranted.

"You're so strong. I'm glad you're home," He smiled while kissing my forehead.

"Me too," I sighed happily.

"I'm surprised the training even helped. You lost to me every time," he smirked.

"Yeah, well, you're my mate and you're way stronger than me and him," I scoffed at even thinking his name.

"Good to know."

"Lux needs some medical attention, she fought really hard for us to get out," I said while looking at my injuries.

"Looks like you need it too," he slightly chuckled, but looked concerned. "Let Lux know she's strong and that I thank her for getting you two home," he smiled. His smile makes me so happy. All sad thoughts go away when I see his smile.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just glad to see your smile."

"I'm glad to see yours too. But come on, let's get you hooked up to IV, you're probably dehydrated."

"And hungry. I need all the food," we both laughed.

Even though I've been through a lot my whole life, I've decided to put that behind me. It's in the past and I can't do anything about the past. Jacob is my future and I'm going to enjoy it till I die. Whoever tries to take that from me, I'll fight. I'll fight for Jacob and this pack, always. It's time to find myself and be happy.
