Elemental: The Luna Legend

68. Pancakes

That night, I tossed and turned, much to Nox's concern. He knew that what I saw in my dreams made me restless, so he held on to me all night. I thrashed and cried in his arms, calling out to the face in my dream, his face, to come back to me.

His face is the only thing I ever see in my dreams. For years I only ever dreamt of him, whether it was nightmares or sweet dreams, always him. That night I Dreamt that he was being pulled away by black ashes and clouds while kissing that evil woman. It felt like my heart was getting pierced over and over again but I couldn't wake up.

Then in the distance, whining. It sounded like a hurt animal was nearby, the clouds and the ashes cleared and there laid Nox's lycan. It was in pain and pawing at the ground. Normal weres are usually one and in complete control of their wolves. There were only two exceptions to having a wolf as a separate entity.

The first would be a rogue. A rogue is someone who has completely been taken over by their animalistic side and no longer identify as part human.

The second would be an Alpha. Their beasts were strong that they develop their own personality.

Nox's lycan was it's own being and seeing it in pain just as painful as seeing Nox hurt. I wanted to hunt down the person who caused him all this pain. I woke up drenched in sweat with Nox holding me tight, almost as if I'd disappear if he let go. He whispered sweet words into my ear and loved me back to sleep. It was worth having the nightmares, waking up to him.

But my magic was telling me that it was time.

My time in the human realm was up and Nox knew it. Our presence in this realm was putting the supernaturals here in danger. And everyday that witch lived was another day of lives lost.

It would be wise to remove her from the equation but if we are unable to, we might have to take her back with us. I groan internally as that thought bounced around my head. It was starting to give me a migraine, so I decided to leave it in the back of my mind while i wait for Nox to get up. The grumbling in my tummy was not going to wait for my mate, love of my life or not, food almost always comes first. First, was to get out of his grasp. His leg and arm held me hostage and trying to wriggle my way out of it was basically mission impossible. And for the added whimsy, I hummed the tune in my head while trying to escape.

With a bit of magic, I was able to slip out and replace myself with my pillow, watching him bury his nose in it to inhale my scent was the most adorable thing I had ever seen. I took a few pictures and slipped into the bathroom. It was quite sizeable. The pack had a lot of connections that they have maintained over centuries with certain people of power that kept the cashflow consistent. And with the all the investments the previous Alpha's had made, they were able to live comfortably so deep in the woods.

They gave us the option of taking Julia and Chad's bedroom since we were the new Alphas but we couldn't. I couldn't...Nox agreed with me for my sake. It was their room, their space to find solace from the world...to intrude into that would be disrespectful in my opinion. I let them put the important stuff in storage and leave the room as it is. Maybe someday in the future, when the pain of their loss doesn't haunt everyone, they can use this room again. But for now, our room was enough.

I took a quick shower, washing of all of Nox's scent, almost wishing I didn't. But before I could regret anymore, I stepped out of the shower and got dressed quickly. I wore Nox's sweatpants and his t-shirt. Being surrounded in giant clothes felt so comfy but being surrounded by Nox's scent made me feel warm and safe. 

"Well, good morning there." my sister's voice rang out from the kitchen as I followed my nose towards the kitchen. 

I was greeted by the sight of Nia and Rue making pancakes while the pack members came around with their plates to grab their share. Wolves ate a lot but Nia loved cooking even though she barely ate herself. And Rue loved learning to cook so she was more than happy to help. She was starting to fill out a little bit more and quickly too but I suspect Nia had been using a little of magic to help her heal. All in all, she was glowing and was very happy. 

A little tug at my shirt broke me out of my trance. It was a child who had brought me a plate for breakfast. "Thank you, little one." I say gratefully accepting the plate.

She gave me the most adorable wide toothed smile and replied in the cutest voice, "You're welcome, Luna." 

I'm pretty sure my heart melted as she shyly made her way back to her mother. It takes a lot of bravery to even approach an Alpha. I know that the dominance and mana radiating off me would be enough to make grown ass men rethink about approaching me. She was going to have an important role in this pack one day. I can feel it in her fearless nature. 

I went to grab some pancakes when I felt him moving. It felt weird to just know where he was but its just how it is. Within a blink of an eye he was standing behind me grabbing my plate and giving me a kiss on the forehead. "You came to have breakfast without me, Princess?" he asked me playfully.

"I wouldn't dare, my love." I gave him my best puppy dog eyes. "Good. Because if you had pancakes without me, it would've been almost unforgiveable."

Did I mention how much I loved this man?
