My prophecy Luna

Chapter four

JESS’S POINT OF VIEW

Why does my head hurt so much? And for that matter, my ribs? Then it all came flooding back to me, Molly, damn that b***h really did a number on me. Why did I hear beeping? Then I thought I might be in the hospital. That’s when it hit me. That sweet golden syrup smell.

“MATE!!”

“Not so loud, Clara. What do you mean? Mate?”

“We found him, we found our mate.”

I wanted to open my eyes and see him, but my head hurt worse than that three-day bender I went on with Peter. But after being conscious for a few minutes and adjusting to the brightness coming through my eyelids, I slowly began to open my eyes, but when I did, it was really bright, and I closed them again, once getting used to the fact that I would have to open them, I did.

At first, my eyes stung and began to water, but after blinking a few times, I adjusted. I looked around the room and saw that I was right; I was in the pack hospital. I saw the sky outside, and it was just turning a light blue. Damn, I’ve been here all night? I moved my head slowly to the side and that’s when I saw him, the most perfect man I had ever seen in all my life.

He had dark hair, a chiseled chin, his shirt seemed a bit on the tight side, but that just made his muscles stand out more. He was asleep, with his head on his shoulder. I tried to sit up to get a bit more comfortable, but it hurt. I winced and slipped a little bit on the bed.

“Ahhh!” I had to let out a little scream of pain. I couldn’t help it.

But in doing that, I woke him up, this handsome god-like man that was apparently now my mate, with a bit of a start. He looked around for a second, and then he saw that I was awake. He stood up to help me get comfortable, with one arm around my back and, holding my hand, he gently helped me to sit up. Once I was comfortable, he sat back down and looked worried at me with gorgeous turquoise eyes.

After a minute or two of silence, I said “Hi.” Feeling very nervous.

“Oh, crap I didn’t introduce myself,” he said, getting a bit flushed. “My name is Lewis Johnson.”

I’ve heard that name before. It took me a beat to remember. Then it dawned on me. “You’re the Alpha of the Golden Moon Pack?” It wasn’t really a question.

He chuckled a bit. “Yes I am, and you are Jessica Livit.” I was shocked that he knew my name, but then it occurred to me that he probably got it from the doctor here. “How are you feeling Kitten?”

I was slightly taken aback by the pet name, but I loved it coming from him. “I’m okay, a bit sore and my head hurts a lot.”

“Wait, here,” he said and walked out of the room. I wanted to say it’s not like I can go anywhere given I’m hooked up to an IV drip. He came back in with Dr. Wade a few moments later.

“Luna, how are you? Your mate here says you’re in a bit of discomfort,” he indicated to Lewis.

“Doctor, please don’t call me that, you’ve known me since I was three. But yeah, I am, it’s mostly my head.”

Dr. Wade came over and checked my IV drip. “I’m just going to add a bit of morphine, to take the edge off.” I nodded, and he pressed a button on one of the monitors. Within a minute, I was starting to feel better already. “Now, is there anything else?” I shook my head; the doctor bowed his head and left the room.

“Are you sure you’re okay now?” Lewis had some big puppy dog eyes.

“Yes, thank you, Alpha.” I bowed my head a little to show my neck, as a sign of submission.

“Don’t do that, you don’t have to submit to me, you’ll be my Luna. Call me Lewis, or anything you feel comfortable with.” He smiled.

I felt a little uncomfortable with this whole thing. I never had a boyfriend before. But I was brought up to never disrespect the mate bond and to always accept your mate.

“How did I get here?” I asked to fill the awkward silence. I had a feeling I already knew the answer. He went on to explain that he saw Molly beating me and came to my side at once.

“Thank you, Al- Lewis.” I stopped myself from calling him Alpha again. He smiled and nodded. “You should go change your clothes, you're still covered in my blood.” He looked down and laughed as though he didn’t even realize. After about 5 minutes, someone else came in. He was quite handsome too, but not as much as my mate.

“Kane, you need to watch and keep My Kitten Company. Understood?” Lewis said in a slightly threatening way.

“Yes, Alpha.” Kane bowed his head. Kane had dark brown hair and gray eyes. Lewis came up to my bed and gave me a kiss on the forehead which gave me little electric shocks all over my body. “I’ll be back soon, Kitten”. With that, he left the room.

During my four days of bed rest, Lewis was nearly always with me. If he was not, it was Kane when Lewis had some important Alpha business to do. At one point, Peter and the guys came by but were quickly scared off when Lewis walked in to see Peter giving me a kiss on the cheek. I mean walking in to see four guys around your mate's hospital bed, bringing them flowers, chocolates, and a teddy, one of them kissing their cheek. I would probably jump to conclusions too. After they were gone, Lewis looked hurt, but I quickly explained that they were just friends and that was it. He looked a little better after that and apologized for scaring them off and that he'd apologize next time he saw them.

The day my hospital release papers were signed. I was so happy to go home, but turns out Lewis had different ideas.

He had already gone to my Alpha and gotten permission for me to be released from this pack and join his pack and he also went to my townhouse and packed up my stuff. I mean, I knew I was going to be leaving soon, but didn’t realize it would be this soon, and I was pretty miffed that he went into my home, without my consent, and touched all my things and personal belongings.

“Lewis! You cannot just do that! It is an invasion of my privacy!” I shouted at him when I walked outside to see all the stuff in his car boot.

“I’m sorry kitten, but I thought this way it was quicker and easier. I promise to never do it again.” He pouted and looked at me with his puppy eyes. Damn him and his puppy face!

“You love it girl.”

“So not the point, Clara.”

“When can I meet Leo?”

“I suppose it will be when we go for a run officially as Alpha and Luna.”

“Okay.”

She went to lie down and began cleaning her paws. I laughed a little. She was such a clean freak. Honestly, if she was her own person, she wouldn’t last a day. I turned back to Lewis and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He beamed at me as though no one had ever done it before.

“By the way, I left all your toys at home; I don’t think you’ll need them anymore. Besides, I have my own, bigger collection in my den.” He whispered in my ear, smirking.

My jaw dropped, and my cheeks burnt red. I smacked his arm, and he laughed. I was so embarrassed he found all my b**m gear and Rabbits.

He got to the car and opened the door for me to get in, while Kane got in the driver's seat. I paused a little apprehensively. I wanted to say goodbye to Peter and the guys in person, not just leave and not come back.

“Could we make a stop before we go, please?”

Lewis nodded, and I gave Kane the address. We drove not even 5 minutes, and we were outside Peter’s townhouse.

“Peter, it’s me I’m outside, are the guys with you?”

“Yeah, hang on, we’ll be right out. “

After I finished my mind link with him, we only had to wait a few seconds before the boys were outside on the decking, looking at me like they didn’t know what to say.

“Guys, it’s still me.” I was sad to see them like this. I hopped just because I was leaving to be a Luna. I hoped they wouldn’t treat me any differently. Then Rowan looked up at me.

“We know, sorry Luna. But it’s hard for us to see you go.”

“Dude, call me Jess.”

After a minute of awkward silence. I couldn’t help but start laughing. I started laughing so much I doubled over and almost cried. The guys started laughing as well and then from nowhere they all enveloped me in a big group hug. At which point, Lewis then stood up from leaning on the car and began to growl.

“Shush you! You can have your turn later.” I snapped at him.

I just wanted a moment to be with my friends, mates, and their jealousy. I rolled my eyes when Lewis huffed and went back to leaning on the car. After a few more minutes of hugging and laughing, they let go and Peter came to the front and held my arms, earning another growl from Lewis, and that made Peter let go.

“I’m happy for you, Jesse, I really am,” Peter said to me with slightly watery eyes.

He kissed my forehead, at which point Lewis gently held my arm and pulled me back, staring daggers at Peter. I chuckled and even Peter did, but he looked so happy for me that I smiled. I wrapped my arms around Lewis's waist and hugged him, and he hugged me back, kissing the top of my head. I was almost a foot smaller than he was, and I felt like I just fitted in with him.

Lewis kept his word and apologized to the guys for jumping to a conclusion that day at the hospital. The guys accepted, and they understood given that he had waited so long for his own mate.

“Kitten, we should start heading back home.” Lewis looked down at me with tender eyes that were so full of love.

“Okay.” I turned to the others. “Well, I guess, goodbye.”

One by one, I hugged them, kissed their cheeks, and they kissed mine back. I climbed back into the car and Lewis followed. As Kane started to drive away, I turned in my seat to look out the back and saw the guys waving. I waved back. I felt conflicted. I was happy to have found my mate but sad to leaving my friends, my best friend at that.

Eventually, I couldn’t see them anymore, and we were just coming up to the gates of the pack territory. Once going paced the gates, I felt a little sleepy, so I rested my head on Lewis's shoulder as he put his arm around me, and I slowly drifted off.
