Seeking The Past

Chapter 7 - The Bond.

Lee pulled away and looked into my eyes.

“That’s what you should’ve done brother. I felt your bond as soon as she entered the room. I felt the electricity the moment your eyes locked at Charlie’s. If you don’t want her, I’ll take her. As you can see. She can stand my touch, my kiss, and my embrace as well.” Lee never looked away from my eyes. James stood there speechless. Declan grabbed Madison’s hand and led her away.

“How is this possible.” James wasn’t sure what to say. He grabbed my arm and the sensation sent me into over drive. He held me into his body. “She is my mate Lee.” Lee looked at James and the tension was thick. I laid my head on James’s chest just listening to his heart. Then I snapped back into reality and I pushed away.

“I… I have to go.” I took off again. I could hear James and Lee screaming for me to wait. I darted out the door. I was fighting the urge to run back to James and Lee. Every fiber of my being wanted to be with them. I got out front and I pulled out my phone texting my mom to come now. I felt James grab me and kiss me. The feeling was amazing. It felt so incredibly right. Suddenly I spread my lips letting him explore my mouth while I reached up and rubbed my hands into his hair. I pulled away breathing deep.

“NO!” I broke free from him and ran down the road. James called after me and I looked back to see Lee holding him back. In a moment I shifted ripping my clothes as I ran and ran.

I was going to leave. I could feel my eyes filling with tears. This wasn’t what I wanted. I wanted to leave, I wanted to travel, and see the world. The pack house was the beginning of the end. Being Luna made it impossible to ever leave. I stopped at the end of my street. I shifted back and walked up to the house as my mom was walking to the car.

“No need.” I said to her coldly as I walked past her with nothing but a shredded jacket and a mangled hair piece on.

“Hannah!? What on earth happened?!” She followed me as we entered the house. Most everyone was asleep but the older kids. Gena gasped when she saw me and Angelica jumped off the couch and followed behind my mom asking what on earth I was doing naked.

“Can we leave it for now?!” I yelled at them and shut my door. I shuffled my drawer looking for clothes. Luckily my phone was in my shredded jacket pocket. I placed the phone on my nightstand. I slipped a new pair of panties on. A sports bra, and some gym shorts. I heard the phone buzz, but I ignored it. I sat at my vanity and began to remove my make up. My tears still flowed and I started to curse the Moon Goddess. How dare she do this to me. I wanted so bad to be human and be in control of my own destiny. Even if humans had tons of children out if wedlock and multiple divorces. I walked over to my bed and laid my head down beginning to softly cry into my pillow. I felt something, a small hand rub my back. I turned to see Angelica slowly rubbing my back.

“Do you want to talk about it?” I shook my head no. “Do you want me to leave?” I shook my head no. She crawled up in bed next to me and cuddled next to me. I can’t remember when but I fell asleep.

I woke up from a dreamless sleep. Angelica was gone. I could see a silhouette of a person sitting at my vanity. I slowly looked up to see Madison sipping on a ice coffee and texting one handed.

“You’re awake!” She exclaimed. She turned and put down her drink picking up a tea and handing it to me. “It’s a warm green tea with lemon. It’ll help.” She smiled gently. I groaned as I took a sip. I knew she was going to ask me what happened. I still didn’t feel ready.

“Are you ready to talk?” Madison c*cked her head to the side. I shook my head no. “Oh great then you’ll listen!” I looked at her surprised because I’ve never heard her be serious. “Hannah I’m not sure what’s going on between you and the twins but you can’t just leave your mate like that. I’m not even sure how you did. Once a Greymoon pack member finds a mate, they don’t separate for long. The pain can make us weak enough to die. That’s why people call us the love bird pack. Even I can’t sleep with out Declan now.” I gave her a look. “I’m not telling you to move in with James or Lee or what ever you three have going on. I’m telling you that you can’t run away forever. If you are that upset, then reject him… or Reject them… I’m not even sure which one is your mate!” Madison shook her head.

“For some reason even though my mate bond is clearly with James, it doesn’t feel bad for Lee to touch me or kiss me either.” I heard a gasp by my door. “Angelica have you been listening?” I see a hand shoot in and give a thumbs up. Madison’s phone starts to ring.

“It’s James.” She said looking to me for reassurance to answer. I shake my head no. She puts her phone down. “Hannah. Come on. You have to address this.” I set the tea down and rolled over. I heard a sigh.

After our meet, I decided to go out for a jog. As I stretched I couldn’t get the kisses out of my mind. I stopped stretching and went off on my jog trying to run from my problems sooner rather then later. I stopped half way and started to walk. I could feel the overwhelming feeling in my chest. She was right. I couldn’t ignore the bond. The longing was starting to make it hurt being away. I pulled out my phone and dialed.

“Hey… we have to talk. Yeah, Noon is fine.” I hung up and felt the longing feeling subside. I began to jog again taking deep breaths.

I sat on my door step waiting dressed in a sweater, messy bun, and jeans. I watched as a car pulled up and I know it’s time. The door opens and Lee stepped out.

“Hello gorgeous.” He said with a smile.
