TWILIGHT UNION

CHAPTER 5: The Connection

Few Days Later.....

Frida, Why Don't We Stroll Around The Forest? My Father Asked.

Father, it's Late Noon Already,Why Would Should We Do That? I asked.

Well, Roaming Around The Forest will Help You become familiar with It, That Way you can know about the Your Territory When You Become The Next Alpha! My Father Explained

Sure if you say so. We Should Be Back By Nighttime Right? I asked.

Sure, if you insist. My Father replied.

Hours Later.....

You Miss Her, Don't You? I asked noticing the pain in my Father's Eyes.

So Much! Your Mother Was Everything To Me. My Light, My Strength. She was the Most Beautiful And Powerful "Luna" our Pack has ever Know. My Father said His Eyes Filled with sadness.

I Wish I Could Have Met Her. I said reaching out and taking my Father's Hand.

She Would Have Loved You. Although She Was Powerful, She Was Kind. She Wanted Peace For All The Creatures In Our Forest. My Father said Smiling slightly.

That's Also What I Want. I Replied.

You Know One Day You Will Become An Alpha. My Father said changing The Subject.

Yes I Know. So Father, I Know You Want To Tell All That it takes to become a great Alpha Like You. I replied.

Yes. Being An Alpha is Not easy. it requires strength, courage, and sacrifice. But First And Foremost Be Guided by your heart. Let Love and compassion be your guiding light. But You Should Not Let Your Emotions Cloud Your Judgement. Be Strong And Brave, There Are Many Who will seek to Challenge You For Authority. My Father Explained.

But Father. You Speak About Love And Compassion, But You Do Not Show Those Qualities Towards The Vampires. I replied.

Do You Think I Want To Attack The Vampires? I Am Trying To Fulfill My Role As An Alpha. Like I said, I Will Not Allow My Emotions Cloud My Judgment. The Vampires Are Dangerous, And As The Alpha, I Need To Protect Our Pack. It Is My Responsibility.

What If Vampires Can Be.....Trusted? What if They Are Some That can Be Trusted? I asked Hopeful.

What Do You Mean? Have You Associated Yourself With The Vampires? My Father asked suspicious.

No! I Thought It Could Be Possible. I replied quickly.

We Should Be Heading Back To The Pack. My Father said.

You Should Go, I still Want To Gaze At The Moon. It is so Bright. I replied

Fine. But Do Not Stay Out Too Long, Or Else we would come searching for you. My Father replied.

I Won't. I replied As My Father raced Back To The Pack.

You Love Your Father So Much, Don't You? Cayson asked coming out of the shadows.

Yes I Do. What About You? Don't You Love Your Father? I asked.

Of course I Love Him. But Our Relationship is Not As Yours. Cayson Said sitting Next To Me.

What Do You Mean? I asked.

From What I Saw, You Talk To Your Father A lot. Cayson replied.

Yes I Do. My Father likes to engage my in such, He says we should build a bonding. I replied smiling.

It's The Opposite For Me. I'm Always Trying To get close to My Father, But For Some Reasons He Never Seem To Want To. Cayson replied looking Sad.

I'm Sure Your Father Loves You. He Just Doesn't Know How To Show It. I said Putting My Hand On Cayson's Shoulder.

I Know He Does. I Guess As The Leader, My Father Needs to As Cold as His Skin. Cayson Said Chuckling.

That is True. So How Was Your Day? I asked.

It was as boring, as usual. What About Yours?Cayson asked.

I Spent The Day With My Father. He Talked About Me Becoming The Next Alpha As He Always Does. I replied.

That's The Same With My Father. He Always Wants To Teach Me how to become a good Leader.Cayson Said.

I guess Werewolves and Vampires are Alike in that Way. I said Chuckling.

You're Right About That One. And They Always Want To protect Their Clan,Or Pack. Cayson added.

You're Really Nice To Talk To. I said breaking the silence between Us.

I know. And I've Never Met Someone Who understands Me the way you do. I feel like I can be my True Self When I'm with You. Cayson replied.

And I Never Thought I Would be drawn to a Vampire. I said.

And I Never Thought I Would be Falling For A Werewolf. Cayson Added.

I've Always Been Told That Werewolves and Vampires Are Suppose to be Enemies. I said Gazing At Cayson.

Perhaps,it is time we Rewrite the Rules,To forge a New path for our kind. Cayson Said As Our Hands Became Intertwined.

I feel like we are bounded by a force greater than ourselves. I've been thinking about our future holds. Do You believe that we are truly destined to Be? I asked Unsure.

I have no Doubt that we are meant to be. I know our Kind have been Enemies for centuries, But I believe that love can conquer the deepest hatred. Cayson Said His Voice Filled With So Much Love And Affection.

I Want to Believe that we can create a new future for ourselves,one where we can be together,Without Fear and Prejudice. I replied still unsure.

Then What is Holding You Back? Are You Still Afraid? Cayson asked With a Tone of Disappointment.

I-I Don't Know. I said Releasing My Hands From Cayson And Got Ready to Leave.

I Love You! Cayson Said Blocking My Exit.

I... I don't know what to say. if I.....if we can..... But Before I Could finish My Sentence, Cayson Lips Crashes Down On Mine, silencing My Protests With a Passionate Kiss.

I.... I cannot, I cannot betray my Pack,My Family. I said as I gently Push Cayson Away,My Heart Racing.

But You Cannot Deny what we feel for each other? The Connection That Binds Us, Transcends our differences and defies the Law of our Kind? Cayson asked His Tone filled with desperation.

I...I don't know,I... I have to go. I said as I try to run.

What Are you Afraid of?! Cayson asked Grabbing My Wrist Tightly.

This Kind of Love Is Doomed From The Start. The World Will Never Accept The Union Between A Werewolf and Vampire. I replied desperately.

Who Are We To Make That Decision? Cayson asked.

I Need Time to Think, Time to Process Everything! I screamed.

I'm sorry. Take all the time you need. I'll be here, waiting as long as it takes for you to accept it. Cayson Said as he let Go of My Wrist.

imagine how my Father and Your Father Would React When they Found We've been seeing each other. Our Worlds are Far too Different.I said Tears I than My Cheeks.

You know I've Been Watching You For A Long Time. I see The Way You Interact with Your Pack,And Your Father. The More I Watched The more I felt This Connection. Your Kind, Gentle Soul Draws Me Ever Close to You, The Way You're Always Willing to Learn, And Show a Keen Interest in everyone you meet, Makes My Feelings for you Grow More. Please! Give Us a Chance! Let Me Show That it is Possible, For Our Love To Exist! Cayson Said In a pleading tone.

Cayson, I have to Go! My Father Will Be Looki For Me. I'm Sorry, This Whole Thing Was A Mistake. Talking To You, The Kiss, Everything Was A Mistake. And I Cannot Deny That I Sense The Connection Between Us, But I Am Far Too Afraid... I replied unable to control My Tears.

See You Next Time. Cayson Said Sadly,As He Disappeared Into The Shadows.

Later....

Frida, You're Back! My Father said.

Yes Father, I am Back. I said In a Low,Sad Tone.

What Happened Frida? Why The Sad Face? This Is Unlike You. My Father asked Concerned.

Father. Have you ever Felt like there's a Time In Your Life... When you Have To Make A Choice Between What is Right And What Your Heart Says? I asked sadly.

My Girl, I think We All Go Through That. In Some Situations It Would be Better to Let Your Heart Guide You... And Other Times You Have To Choose to Do What's Right. Either way There Are Two Things you must Remember. 1st: Always Think Of The People Involved. And 2nd: If It's Destined To Be,Then It Will Happen. My Father Explained.

Thank You Father. You Truly A Wise . I said Smiling slightly.

I Know There's Something You're Not Telling Me. But In Due Time I will Learn About. My Father said As He Left Me Alone.

If It's Destined To Be Then It Will Happen. We Are Meant to Be "Cayson". Then we shall end up together. Although I do feel the Connection, I Have To Consider My Pack,My Family,My Father. I thought As Laid down to Sleep.
