Moonlight

Chapter 12.

After a long time, I had finally shifted, and I was happy about that. My white paws glistened in the sunlight as I inspected the new form, which I had just acquired. I could see Laura was ecstatic, she was jumping around, and I could tell she was very

excited. As I chuckled, more of a growl came out of my mouth than anything else, which came out more like a chuckle. Suddenly, I recalled that someone had just called my name during this shift, and as soon as I turned my attention around, I realized that I

had heard them. A large black wolf appeared in front of me and my heart stopped. I did not recognize its scent immediately and I was frozen. A growl from me was followed by a bow of the head. I just saw this wolf lie on the ground with its head

cocked, it just lay there. Taking another sniff of the scent, I let it fill the air around my nose before taking a deep breath. Then it dawned on me that it was Remus, making me feel a little guilty I began whimpering. His furry body massaged against mine as he

arose and padded over to me and rubbed back and forth against my furry body. I relished the sensation of tingling that swept across our connection for a moment before I realized what this meant and I was forced to swallow my tears involuntarily. Besides the

fact that I had shifted and was now able to go home, I had also told Remus I would accept the rejection within the next few days. As soon as I saw Remus walking away from me, I took off running through the forest toward the lake. As a matter of fact,

for the time being, I can at least learn the form of the wolf. My chest was tight and I was unable to ignore what I was feeling, as I could hear Remus behind me. The moment I felt the tingling go through my body, a sudden tackle suddenly appeared in front of

me, and I yelled in surprise. However, a moment later, I was able to relax. Watching the transformation of the wolf into a man, I was grateful to be in wolf form as I had a hard time keeping my blush from getting red after seeing him naked above me. I

turned my head away from him as I wiggled out form under him. I heard Remus chuckle. Quite quietly he said to me, "You are beautiful." He said quietly to me, "shift back." He said to me. The thought of being naked in his presence made me shudder,

and I shook my head in disgust. It was then that something suddenly covered my eyes so that I was no longer able to see anything. He laughed again. My paw helped me pull it off and I was able to notice that it was a shirt once I pulled it off. The next thing I

noticed was that Remus, who was now wearing shorts, was looking at me. As I grabbed the shirt and ran behind a tree I heard the voice of the woman say, "Go change behind a tree." My bones slowly began to reform themselves as I imagined

myself in the human form. My shirt was slipped on and I walked out of the room. Despite my feelings of being scorched, I kept my gaze off of Remus. "Are you the daughter of the King?" He asked bluntly. "Did you grow up in my family?" he asked. Taking a

few moments to look at him and nod slowly, I looked back at him. There was something that I hadn't explained. I shrugged my shoulders, wondering why I hadn't told you! In defense of my own views, I stated, "It does not matter what you think of me, I am

the King's daughter, so it does not matter what you think.". Looking uncomfortable, he nodded his agreement. In response to her question, he began to speak, but then he cut himself off. When he failed to speak again, the tightness in my chest became worse, and

as I waited, hoping that he would change his mind, I began to feel the tightness again. The sadness I was feeling swirled around me, and even though I knew it wasn't good for me, I kept my head up and walked closer to him. After I had reached the point in front

of him where I could see him clearly, I stopped. It was clear to me that he was struggling to cope with the guilt, conflict, and regret that were shining in his eyes, but they meant nothing to me at the time, or at least I told myself that. Without words,

these feelings were nothing to me. "I, princess Luna, soon to be Queen of the werewolves accept your rejection." I asked. Despite the fact that the sob threatened to burst out at any moment, I swallowed it down. Seeing the size of his eyes widen, I

watched him move towards me, but I forced myself to move away from him, no longer being able to look at him. My heart sank, as she said to me, "It's done. You are free. Let's hope that you find whatever you want and, I'll be leaving tonight." I turned around and

began walking away without looking back. I couldn't stop crying. Too much pain was inflicted upon me at that time. It was the first time I'd witnessed or heard of the rejection of a mate, so I had no idea how long it would last for me to see the rejection

or accept the rejection. There was only one thing I could hope for, and that was that it would be soon. Upon walking through the trees into Sage's arms, I felt as though I was being hurled into the heavens. The situation behind him was clearly worrying Calvin,

who sat behind him with a very worried expression on his face. I was worried, where the he'll did you go? I was worried that you had gone somewhere. After taking in my scent, he cut himself off. As I nodded, I asked, "Were you able to shift?" There is

something about you that smells like him. Did he accompany you?" I nodded once more. "Yes.". "Lun.. you seem to be doing fine." The first thing I did was nod my head, but then I had to give up on that and shake it. There's nothing left to do... Can we go

home now? Tonight? My eyes were wide as I asked, hoping that I would be able to find something positive out of this. Aspen stared at me for a moment, then nodded of his own accord. Aspen led me away from everyone watching, I buried my face in his chest and

wept silently as I heard the door click.
