My Cold Blooded Luna

Home

Hello all, before I begin todays chapter I would just like to inform everyone that had read the previous chapters that some tweaks have been made. The general idea remains but I do recommend rereading those chapters before continuing! Thank you all :)

Forrest’s POV

Ever since Lilith left it felt like a piece of my soul had left with her. She was always my best friend, we did everything together for so long, only for her to vanish from my grasp in an instant. It was absolutely heart wrenching at first, though I’d grown more comfortable with the harsh truth in time. I simply hoped her supposed mate was treating her will, though I doubt it. Everyone in the pack swore it was love at first sight, and that they were true mates, I didn’t believe that for a moment though.

My memory of the day she left was a bit hazy, though I remember one thing in particular. I firmly believe she’s my mate. The way I felt when I touched her, and the way my wolf reacted right before I was rendered unconscious definitely suggested such. The way she looked at me, pleading for help and terrified is forever burned in my memory. There’s nothing I wanted in that moment besides to help her. She wouldn’t have been so scared if he was her mate as her father alleged.

It has been several years since this, and I want her back. I need to know for sure if she is my mate or not. I walked calmly to Lucas’s room, hoping he was there. If there was anyone in the pack that would be willing to help me find her, it would be him. I knocked gently on the door, half expecting no answer. To my surprise though, the door swung open and to my surprise, a now 18 year old Lucas met me.

He had grown into a Handsome lad, with eyes that were the exact same blue as Lilith’s and cute little brown curls. Lucas had always had a bit of a baby face, even now I think he looks more like a 12 year old than an adult.

“Hey Lucas, I wanted to ask you-“ I was interrupted by him raising his hand at me.

“If you’re here to ask me about Lilith, we still haven’t heard from her.” He insisted, a bit annoyed.

I knew they hadn’t heard from her, it broke her mothers heart that she ran off so hastily and hasn’t spoken the them since. Was this not odd to any of them? Why would a girl with so much potential run off with a man that obviously wasn’t her mate, lying and saying it was? It didn’t make any sense.

“I know, I know! But I want to find her! I feel like she may be in danger!” This much was true, I couldn’t explain it, but I could just feel it that things were getting worse wherever she is.

Lucas shot me a side glance, an emotion I couldn’t quite describe on his face.

“You can feel it too?” He asked, looking a bit shocked.

They were siblings, I’m sure he could feel her stress and pain just like I can. Though, I’m not sure why I can feel it. Deep down I think I do know, but I won’t know until I find her for sure. No sooner than he asked that I felt it. I felt a burning sensation. I hasn’t felt one this severe since she left. My hands clammed shut and turned white from how hard I was holding them.

“f**k. I don’t know where she is man.” He said through gritted teeth, obviously very deep in thought.

Behind us the door opened, and there stood Liam. He looked mildly annoyed by what he was feeling, but didn’t look nearly as affected as we did. My wolf had gone silent, but I could tell he was pacing, upset. Liam and Lucas made rather tense eye contact before Lucas grew angry.

“You know where she is.” Lucas growled out, shaking with anger.

Liam was rigid, still staring intensely at Lucas. His eyes shifted to me, and his face moved back to a very neutral look. We were all in silence staring at w. The burning slowly subsided, and I sighed in relief.

“Where is she.” My voice was a whisper, but the venom it held surely expressed my frustration.

“Why can you feel her?” Liam countered, raising his brow.

“I’m not sure, but I need to find her. She’s in pain Liam. How can you allow this to happen to her?” I felt hopeless, I wanted to rescue her from whatever situation she was in.

It dawned on me why Liam knew where Lilith was. The same reason that their father knows where she is. He got rid of her, but I don’t understand why. My suspicion that the other Alpha wasn’t her mate had to be right.

“Where is she.” Lucas piped up again, his eyes beginning to glow black.

“Alpha Jackson has her.” He finally muttered out, looking up at Lucas.

Lucas lunged at his brother so fast I barley had time to register it. He pinned his older brother to the floor, growling in his face. This was something I never expected to see from the meek youngest child of the alpha.

“Why the F**K does he have our sister!” He snarled, maybe he knew something about this Alpha that I did not.

“Dad…I don’t know, I guess it was her mate.” He was lying, even I could tell that much.

“You’re lying to me brother.” Lucas was starting to shift, his bones cracked over and over as he fought to keep his wolf contained.

Then, a vision appeared in my head. It was as if I was watching through someone else’s eyes. Before me a man was in bed, nude May I add, with an also nude woman. There were gasps ringing in my head, I don’t know where any of this was coming from. What am I looking at? The vision began to blur with tears making me even more confused. Then as if to answer all of my questions, a voice rang out.

“I, Lilith Reeves, Denounce you as my husband and mate” A woman’s voice hissed at the naked man. This vision was Lilith! How could this be? Rage filled my veins and I began to pace, trying to comprehend what I was seeing. All the echoing voices in my head were like a group mind link, it was making my skull ache.

The man that I’m now assuming was Alpha Jackson slowly pulled himself off of the girl he was sleeping with and acted as if he was going to lunge at Lilith. My bones started to snap like Lucas’s had moments ago. I would kill the mother f**ker myself if he hurt her. Instead he fell to the floor at her feet. That’s when my anger fell to the side as I noticed the searing pain in my body. This was her pain, I was feeling it with her. For some reason, realizing she was marked made my stomach do a flip. I felt like I would be sick.

“Furthermore…” She began, “I challenge you for your position as alpha.” This brought on another gasp before silence fell, and the vision stopped.

I gasped, realizing I hadn’t been breathing for several seconds. I dropped to my knees, the pain still intense as it radiates through my body. I couldn’t understand how she was standing so bravely when she was feeling the same thing if not worse. That was an alpha, and she just challenged him!

“She’s lost her mind!” My wild howled in our head, finally regaining his voice, still pacing anxiously.

He was right. That was probably a death sentence for her, now I really had to find out where she was and go help her. If anyone here thought I’d stand by while that man killed Lilith, they were dead wrong. I found myself stalking towards the now viscously fighting brothers. Lucas and Liam were swinging at each other like natural horn enemies.

Just as I was about to argue with both of them, alpha Luke entered the room. The boys both stopped fighting to look at him, as did I. Silence filled the room for several seconds as we all just stared wide eyed at each other. I wanted to challenge him myself right now, but I knew better, swallowing that pride. Lucas stood up and stalked towards his father.

“Where is she.” The sudden calmness in his tone scared me more than his anger mere moments ago.

“I-“ the alpha started, but didn’t say another word before Luna Lily entered.

“YOU!” She snarled, shoving her husband to the wall, tears in her eyes.

This was sheer chaos, but I could see a bit of a pattern. Lucas and Lily didn’t seem to be big fans of Luke and Liam. They were at each others throat more as enemies than lovers and family. Something about their family was always off to me, but this was very suspicious.

“WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?” Her luna voice boomed, shaking the entire house.

“With her mate!” Luke said defensively, refusing to make eye contact with anyone else in the room.

“Bull shit.” I spat at him, glaring daggers at him. “If that was her mate he wouldn’t be in bed with another woman.” I continued, thinking back on the memory.

Her dad shot me a warning glance, all but saying for me to shut up. Lily turned around and seemed to notice me for the first time, and her eyes widened.

“You could see it?” She asked me, releasing her husband and walking towards me.

“Uh…yeah?” I responded, unsure why it even mattered. I was her closest friend before she left.

“It can’t be.” She whispered, horror suddenly clouding her features as she turned back to Luke, who kept his face neutral. His eyes however told another story, he was distraught by this revelation as well.

“Jackson wasn’t her mate mother.” Lucas said aloud, as is if this much wasn’t already obvious.

“You didn’t..” Lily side eyed Luke, starting to shake with anger.

Luke looked at the floor and shrugged, ignoring all of us looking to him for answers. What was she talking about?

“You sold our daughter!” She shrieked like a banshee, lunging on him this time. “You cheap TRAITOR, how could you do such a thing!”

My eyes went wide, he had done what? How could a man ever do this to his family? There’s surely not a price out there to afford such a wonderful girl. Rage began to build in me, this time I couldn’t stop my wolf from pushing out. My clothes shredded and I lunged at the alpha, teeth bared.

“Say it’s not true.” My wold growled through mind link at Luke, who was staring wide eyed at us.

He was trying to shift, but my weight on top of him made it hard for him to do so. He was growling at me, but didn’t even try to deny it. I remembered Liam lying about not knowing where his sister was. This was beyond messed up, how could they allow this to happen to Lilith. She had always been nothing but kind to her baby brothers and father, their sweet little daughter and sister.

“It’s true.” He finally breathed out, trying to push me off of him so he could breathe.

My wolf was fighting so hard to rip his throat out, but I knew what would happen to me if he did. I was trying my best to soothe him, reminding him at the moment she is alive elsewhere. We had to find her, preferably before this challenge takes place. Finally, I coaxed my wolf off of his alpha.

“Liam..did you know?” His mother cried, refusing to even look at him. We all knew the answer before he even looked away.

His eyes averted to the ground and he didn’t respond either. I noticed he was crying with his mother, clutching his hang to his chin. This was a mess. I still could not seem to understand why any of this made any sense.

That was when something else caught my attention. A sweet smell, like honey and chamomile filled my nose. I needed to know where it was coming from, immediately. Without even processing it, I automatically began to walk in the direction of the fragrance. I opened the bedroom door and began to walk down the hallway, abandoning all thoughts of the bickering family. Just as I went to round a corner, another smaller person slammed into me. Electric tingles shot through every part of my body this person was touching.

I looked down, already knowing who was going to be standing there. My breath caught in my throat, she was so beautiful. Her messy brown hair fell longer than it had the last time I saw her. Goddess it had been 4 years since I saw her last. She was still just as beautiful, though now my chest felt like it would explode at the sight of her.

“Mate.” We both whispered in unison, starting intensely into each others eyes.
