Moonlight

Chapter 9.

Aspen, Alpha Rune, and Calvin would not let me get out of bed for the entire day. Throughout the entire period of time, I was confined to my bed. My frustration was causing me to want to move around and I was frustrated. Eventually, I decided that

enough was enough and slipped out of bed, wearing a pair of comfortable jeans and a t-shirt to keep me comfortable. Having put on my dress and walked out of the room, I turned my attention to Calvin and Aspen who were standing near the door, and both

of them were looking towards me and opening their mouths in an attempt to speak, but I growled at them and they quickly shut them. Then I turned to walk away from them and murmured, "I'm getting out of bed, and that's all there is to

it." The walk to the Alpha's office was easy for me because I did not worry about people staring at me. When I received permission to enter the house, I knocked on the door and opened it. Rune went up to Luna and shouted, "Luna!" as he stood and walked

closer to her. Would you mind telling me how you feel right now? As I shrugged, I replied, "I'm fine. I came in to see if he'd let me come home earlier as I wanted to get his approval." Rune's eyes softened in anticipation. "I have learned about the

incident from Aspen and Cole. I am so very sorry for Remus. I absolutely cannot express how badly I feel. I blame his mother." I raised my eyebrows at Clarissa, I had assumed that she was his mother, but now that I consider it they did not have anything

in common. Remus was unfortunate enough to have seen too much of what was happening, without understanding what was happening. It was I who partially contributed to this. His biological mother had cheated on me. "I should have exiled

her immediately, but she- she was my mate. I felt so bad for both Rune and Remus." I bit my lip, feeling horribly sorry for them both. It was after several moments of silence that I murmured softly, "I am truly sorry, Rune.". I think Remus is of an age at which he

understands what his actions are doing in some way. Regardless of whether he chose the right choice or not, at least he had made his decision." I want a mate. "I heard Laura whisper in the next room," and I knew it. I knew Lau. I did, too. I admitted it. And it

was the truth, I knew that someone or something had broken Remus' trust in mate. I just did not know it would be his mother. Even though I knew most people would call me stupid, I felt for him, and I couldn't help but feel for him. I will never give up on him

realizing I am not the same as her, no matter how much it kills me with the knowledge of that. My gasp of surprise was accompanied by the sudden hug Rune gave me. There was a lot about him that reminded me of my father, which made me

really want my father to be here with me. As I knelt down next to Rune and tried to block out the tears, I buried my face in his chest and tried to fight them, but the moment Rune began to rub my back, it was as if the wall had collapsed. "Shhh." Rune

cooed. Angus replied quietly, and I knew he was not just trying to convince me, but he was also trying to convince himself that he was right. I know it hurts, and you're being a true brave person, and I know my son's an i***t, but- don't give up on him. He will

come around." Angus said quietly, and I knew he was trying to convince himself as well. Despite the fact that he was not 100%, I felt a great deal better about everything. It was a pleasure to see you, Rune." I wiped away my tears as I slowly pulled away from

him. As he walked to his desk, he smiled and said, "Anytime, dear." He answered with a smile. It was at that moment that my eyes widened widen when Rune said: "I know you wanted to speak with Henry, but he won't be available for a few days." I was

beginning to understand what Rune was trying to tell me and I began to believe him. In spite of this, I sighed, for it wasn't something that had just happened. As a result, I was aware that my father must be grieving my mother's death at the moment.

As much as I missed her, I couldn't get over how much I missed her. There's a good chance I'll be hanging around a bit longer." I thanked him for the opportunity and excused myself, closing the door behind me as I left. After that, I turned around and

accidentally bumped into someone, causing my eyes to widen when I looked up. As I walked past Remus, I managed to say "S-sorry." as I headed back to my room after having passed Remus. I sat on my bed when I was safe and I thought to myself for quite

some time. Would there be any way I would be able to prove I was not the same as his mother? I don't understand how a friend could cheat on you? My mates never cheated on me before, and I had never even heard of it. During the evening, Laura and I

sat together in bed talking over our plans for winning our partner and thinking of ways we could do so. Until I started drooping my eyes gradually, I did not realize how tired I was until my eyes slowly began to close over time. The room in which I was

sitting was empty, but I wasn't alone, I wasn't alone, I wasn't. When I saw my mother, I ran to her right away and began to comfort her. I missed her so much! I thought she was dead. My arms were almost around her and I was just about to kiss her when a

rouge popped out of nowhere and began ripping her apart in front of me. My belly screamed, and screamed for for what seemed like days, killing blood splatter all over me and ooze from her shrunken body. My body started shaking so badly that I

could hardly stand. My name was suddenly shouted over and over and over again, but I wasn't able to process anything other than the sight of my mother as I couldn't process what I was hearing. My body was drenched in sweat, and I was shaking with excitement

as I shouted, "Luna! Wake up!!" I jolted awake. When I opened my eyes again and noticed that I was crying as well as that the whole experience had been a nightmare, I stood up and wiped the water away. Taking a closer look at the person holding me, I

expected to see Aspen or even Calvin, but quickly pulled back as I noticed Remus seated in front of me. Then I repeated, "I-I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.." I then said, "I'm okay...". As a result, I refrained from yelling that I was in the middle of releasing my

emotions. I could see Remus staring at me with concern, turning away, then glancing back at me from different angles. In my opinion, Remus looked concerned when I turned my attention back to him. My hope was that he would just walk away, but as he

said, "Thank you," he did not move, and he just said, "I'm fine now. " I thought he would just finish his sentence and run out. As he asked softly, "Do you want to discuss it with me?" he looked into her eyes. When I thought of the horrible dream I had

dreamed as well as the thought of raising my mother, tears instantly fell from my eyes. In a frenzy of shaking my head, I frantically tried to think of what to do. Honestly, I have no idea where he was coming from. I think he was just being nice.

Almost looking like he was looking for something in my face, his eyes passed over it, almost as if he were trying to find it, but then he gave a gentle nod, allowed my face to go, and stood up. It was then that he turned and departed from the room with

the words, "Go get some rest.". It took me a good minute or two to lay back down after staring at the door for quite some time.
