WITHOUT YOU

Chapter 8

It's been roughly two weeks since I recovered from the incident with the rogues. I hadn't seen my family yet but that was probably cause they were busy with the packs issues. It seemed like lately rogues are testing their chances to see which territory they can easily get on. They've started attacking the smaller packs in small groups and the number increasing with every attack. To me it seemed like they they trying to build an army of some sort. Problems with packs meant Dilan was mostly busy but he assigned me a bodyguard to be with me at all times. Her royal highness took it upon herself to teach me leadership and managerial skill and how to be a great Luna and I must say my session with her were the best part of my day.

Upon all this Dilan and still share the same room and sometimes I can sense him struggling to keep his wolf at bay and keep a decent distance away from me. I felt a little guilty about not giving him the benefit of the doubt and getting to know him. But how could I when all he does is work, work, work. This morning I woke up feeling a Hi lightheaded, I stir in the bed and roll over and hit Dilan with my back facing him. I gasped and stiffened. I pray I didn't wake him up, I felt him groan lightly but return to deep sleep in a second. I quietly started to move away when he snaked his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him. Just then a shock of pleasure at us touching rippled through me and I bit down on my lower lip to hold back a moan. "Where do you do think you're going." He whispered into my ear in a voice a bit deeper than his normal but also sexy. I could tell it was his wolf by the way Mia was purring inside my head.

"Dilan?.." I whispered back and I saw his eyes come back to their normal color. He me go of me, sat up on the bed and run his hand through his hair looking a bit frustrated. "Diane... I'm so sorry... It's..." I cut him off "It's OK... Truth is... I know how you're struggling to keep your wolf at bay... I know it's because of me that you stay in your office most of the time to give me space.. I'm sorry and I just want you to understand me. I just want to fall in love on my own and not because of a mate bond. I think we just got off on the wrong foot and honestly I wanna get to know you cause you seem like a good guy." I admitted nervously while avoiding eye contact with him and was fidgeting with my fingers. He rose my chin up so now I was looking into his eyes and sparks were now passing through from where our skin touch . "I'd love that." He said and gave me his million dollar smile which I returned and Mia was doing back flips in my head.

"Can I ask you some questions?" He finally asked to break the silence. "Umm.. Sure. What do you wanna know about me." I asked casually as I sat beside him on the bed. "What's your favorite color?" He asked. "Green like the forest ... What about you?" I answered. "Brown." He answers. We asked each other random questions and laugh at our peculiar taste in things. Soon there's a knock on the door and I looked at Dilan with a are-you-expecting-someone expression on my face as I walked to the door . "I asked for our breakfast to be brought up so we can continue talking. Hope that's okay with you." He said and I nodded, I was actually starving. I opened the door and took the tray filled with bacon, eggs and pancakes and some orange juice before thanking the omega and closing the door and looking at the food. It was mouth watering and I heard Dilan laugh slightly at me and I look at him quizzically.

"You look so cute when you're hungry" he chuckled and I blushed a bit. "Is it that obvious ?" I asked and he laughed and nodded. I placed the tray of food on the bed and sat by him. We talked, laughed, ate and at some point almost choked on the food. I really enjoyed his company. Soon he was mind linked by his beta that he was needs to sort out some issues so he took a quick shower and left. I was now left alone and I sighed sadly, I honestly wished he could stay. We were getting along and I was loving it."Don't worry babe, I'll be back soon." Dilan mind linked. "Stay out of my head lover boy." I teased and he chuckled."I love your nickname for me." He said huskily and sexily which made me feel butterflies in my stomach and I placed up a mind block to keep him out. Being alone for that time gave me time to think about the past few weeks. I realized Mia hasn't said anything to me, she just responded when mate touches me which was awkward."Mia?" I called out in my head but there was no response. I started to panic slightly, I tried to shift then but all I got was a piercing headache. What's wrong with me? I know Mia has fully healed so why wasn't she communicating with me? I quickly showered and put on some warm clothes and go out in search of someone to help.

I was walking down the hall when I started feeling a piercing headache, I paused for a second and it stopped. The moment I started walking again it came back with full force and my head felt lo it was being hammered and stabbed at the same time and I let out a scream and fell to the ground. Then pain rippled through my body, it felt like the pain I felt when I was first shifting but a lot worse. Dilan... Help! I screamed through our mind link. I felt my bones breaking, every single one of them. Whats happening to me?...... Just then I saw Priscilla rush over to me on the ground. "Your highness... What's wrong? Help! Please someone help me!" She screamed out. Soon I saw Dilan rushing over to me with the Queen at his heels.

"What happened to her?" He asked Priscilla who was now panicking. "I don't know, I was heading to her room and I found her lying here screaming." She managed to say. "Dilan take her outside now... I think she's shifting." The Queen said and Dilan looked at her confused but immediately obeyed and carried me, running in the direction of the courtyard. Soon I was laid on the grass outside, I felt my bone break and reform in a different way. Fur was now sprouting on my skin and my nails were changing to claws. The pain finally stopped and I opened my eyes gently and I saw the looks on their faces. "This can't be possible." The Queen exclaims.

I was confused and I looked at my paws and I was as shocked as she was. I was white. Pure white. Dilan, something is wrong. My wolf isn't white. I told him through our mind link since I couldn't talk cause I was in wolf form. "Mum, how is this possible? Diane said her wolf isn't pure white and she's even glowing." He exclaimed. " She's...she's the last moon goddess wolf." She said and everyone present was shocked. How is it possible? I can't be the last moon goddess wolf. Yes you are. Mia said inside my head. That was the first thing she has said to me in over two weeks. Mia what's going on?
