The Sacred Luna

Chapter 3

Pov Lara

My alarm clock woke me up again at 06:00. Clearly too early for my taste.

I shuffled to the closet and pulled out a pair of dark blue jeans and a thin light gray knit sweater.

Then I went to the bathroom, showered, got dressed and put on only mascara.

After that, I went downstairs to the kitchen and made myself a sandwich and a coffee.

At quarter to 7, I made my way to the bus stop.

Unfortunately, my bike had a flat tire, so I ran this time and arrived at the bus stop at 7 o'clock sharp.

Eliza was already waiting for me there. "Hey, nice necklace you've got there."

"Thanks" I replied, smiling.

I just loved my best friend.

I love her too. Sela got in touch. I just rolled my eyes in amusement. Then Eliza looked at me strangely.

"Oh no, that wasn't addressed to you but to myself." I quickly corrected that.

Arriving at school, we walked to the art room, where Aria was already waiting for me.

"Well, little crybaby? So that's clear, Weston and the others are mine!" she hissed and turned around. Weston was probably the name of one of the new ones. I don't think she wanted them all at once, but well, that's her business. I didn't want to have anything to do with anyone who might leave me anyway.

When the teacher opened the door, Eliza and I ran straight to the top table. There we sat down and spread out our things.

"Nanana, here we are, f**k off!" exclaimed Andrea to me rather than Eliza.

Eliza wanted to say something about that, but I just pulled her to another table.

She certainly shouldn't be meddling in my affairs, causing her even more stress.

Suddenly I got goosebumps. And my body was shaking all over. He was here.

Mate called Sela again.

No Sela, please don't. I can't do that. If he were to die, I couldn't take it.

But he is our mate and we need him. she said, surprised.

I know...

He was coming our way. I could feel that.

The closer he got, the more my body began to react to him.

I didn't know which of the two wolves it was, but one was definitely there and my soulmate. My destined partner...

What do we do now? I asked Sela. Walk up to him and hug him as she suggested.

You're really useless right now.

Then there was a knock on the door to the art room.

shit what now???

The window!

1st floor? I can do it!

I opened the window and jumped. Just as I got with it, they all stood at the window and called after me. But I didn't care. I just ran. Just get away from here.

Near a forest, I transformed and sprinted home. It didn't take 5 minutes before I got there.

POV Weston

I opened the door and only saw a girl with blond hair jump out of the window. Another girl tried to stop her, but she was too late. Did the girl commit suicide?

I noticed that sweet smell again. Like last night when I was walking in the woods with Jason. Yesterday, however, I could not find anyone to whom this fragrance belonged. He drove me crazy.

Mate growled my inner wolf Max. He said the same thing yesterday. Trouble was, whenever I noticed, she was gone.

Yesterday, I ran after the scent emanating from a large rock, but it wasn't fast enough.

Inside, I hated myself for not being able to find her. I needed her.

We need you, Otto, my wolf snapped again.

It's good. I returned

Everyone had sat down again except for the girl who wanted to hold them back. Nevertheless, the shock was written on everyone's face. The girl was still standing at the window, looking after the other girl.

You could see that she had tears in her eyes. But she brushed them away and sat down again in silence.

"Ms Collins. Why did Ms Jones jump out the window?" asked the teacher in a tough and loud voice. I knew that maybe the teacher should have looked for another job. But I didn't think it was that bad. However, I won't let anyone tell me what to do. Still, I just let it be and stayed silent. The girl winced and whispered: "I don't know." "Speak louder, I can't understand anything." he yelled, and the girl made herself even smaller.

I noticed how tense my seat neighbor was suddenly.

"George, are you all right?" I asked him thoughtfully.

His eyes began to change color, meaning his wolf had the upper hand.

"Mate," he growled, ignoring me. With quick steps, he went up to the teacher and slapped him on the head.

Then he ran to the girl and hugged her. The girl returned the gesture and buried her face in his t-shirt.

Can you please hurry up to find your mate? I want to hug her too. Black grumbled.

I'm trying, but she seems to be running away from me.

Then she ran after her boy . Max continued to b***h. Also, you just turned alpha and need a Luna!

He was right.

Do you see

Good now!

I sighed and leaned back and looked around the room a little longer.

Two girls sat in front of me. One was called Aria. She had a lot of make-up on her face. In my opinion, too much. She had already told me her name yesterday and insisted that she show me the school.

In the end, it boiled down to the fact that she felt she had to kiss me. However, I keep pushing them away. I just wanted to kiss my mate and no one else.

I liked the girl next to Aria a lot more. Her name was Andrea and she had long black hair. Although she didn't have as much make-up on her face as Aria, it was still too much for my taste.

Actually, I didn't care about those girls at all, but they both tried everything to get my attention.

Dreadful.

Now I was lying here on my bed staring at the ceiling. On the way back, I tried with all my strength not to let Sela take control, so that after 20 km, she stopped fighting me. Because that was neither for me nor for her. But if I hadn't, Sela would have turned around on the spot.

I want to go to him. Sela has been begging for half the day.

How about we go back into the forest afterwards going. Maybe we'll see him again then.

Yes, I admit you want to see him again, laughed Sela.

Yes, maybe, but don't get too big on it.

When it got later and I saw the moon, I slowly left the house and transformed. Too bad I didn't have black fur, otherwise I would have been perfectly camouflaged.

When I got to the lake, I drank a little from the clear water. Then I lay down a bit on the bank.

I was so broke that I fell asleep.

I woke up in a meadow covered in flowers and looked around. How did I get here? I slowly got up and walked to a small river bed. "Hello Lara" called a clear female voice. I slowly turned around and looked the woman in the eye. She had long, honey blonde hair and Turkish eyes.

Mom?" I asked in surprise.

I ran to her and took her in my arms. I would never let her go again. "Sit down next to me darling, then we can talk a bit." she said.

Together we sat in the meadow between many purple flowers.

"We're really, really sorry, Lara. We should have told you before but we didn't have the heart. Just because you were our little wolf. We wanted to keep you out of anything life-threatening and always tried to make everything as easy as possible for you, though we never tried to do it.

it is so extreme, everything would have turned out differently." she sobbed and I hugged her.

"You know, I'm so proud of you! You passed your first transformation alone, now you live alone and you also manage to clean the house next to school. If you find your mate, he'll only be able to love you." She and I were happy when a tear rolled down.

"What's the matter with you little mouse?" she asked me sympathetically.

"I found my mate a long time ago but I can't. I'm afraid he'll die and then he won't be with me anymore. I want to love him, but at the same time, I can't hurt him. Besides, I can do anything without a mate, like just anything, for example." Well, I sobbed myself too.

"Oh Lara. Don't you think the same thing happened to me with your father? He adored me and did everything for me, but I just wanted to be for myself and not hurt him," said my mum." But that's not the same", I protested.

Shortly thereafter, I was painfully torn from my sleep. s**t, I fell asleep in a strange space!

Path! Sela yelled at me.

But when I wanted to get up, an unbearable pain spread through my paw, which made me howl loudly. It was so painful. I quickly looked around for an escape route, but as I tried to run, about 10 wolves surrounded me. I hate my life.

me too. Please just run no matter where, but just run away! Sela yelled at me.

I quickly ran through an open gap before anything worse could happen.

Or so I thought.

POV Weston

I was sitting at my desk when suddenly my beta, Jason, stormed into my office.

"Weston. We saw an unknown wolf in the area yesterday. By the lake." he called to me.

"I'm coming", I called after him. Maybe it was her. If my pack surrounds her, she won't be able to run away from me.

Good plan Weston. Could have been mine too. Max said, laughing. Just shut up Max. Please.

I walked out of my office toward the lake. Hope it really was her. George and his mate Eliza suddenly appeared next to me. The two were really cute together. I could smell George tagging her and had to smile sadly.

Jealous? Max asked me.

No way!

Eliza had digested the news about the werewolf stuff pretty well, you had to give her that. She also said something about seeing one before, but I didn't believe it. A wolf was never allowed to reveal its true form in front of a human. This is usually followed by the death penalty. It doesn't matter if they are best friends or whatever. Unless it's your own mate, then that's allowed.

Slowly, we got closer to the lake and I felt Max getting jittery. Seconds later, I heard a loud howl. It wasn't one of us.

Mate called Max.

I quickly transformed and ran to the lake in wolf form. I left George and his mate miles behind.

I saw her at the lake. I stayed a little behind everyone so I could see them, but they couldn't see me.

Her fur was stunning, it was snow white and her cyan eyes I didn't even want to start with. She was just perfect. Jason saw that I had come and let the other mind link create a gap for me. Unfortunately, I was a bit too dreamy, because she took this chance and withdrew from our circle.

run damn. Don't you let them escape! Max yelled at me.

I ran after her as fast as I could, passed her and stopped in front of her, causing her to slam into me.

Pov Lara

With full force, I crashed into the wolf with the black fur. When I looked at him, I realized not only that he was at least 50 cm taller than me, but also that he was really handsome. Immediately my pulse went up by meters.

Mateeeeee! shouted Sela excitedly.

No no no no no. Such crap.

The problem was that I couldn't resist his brown, almost jet black eyes and stared at him. My behavior must have been a sign for him, because he snuggled up to me and licked my fur.

Like a cat.

Sela raved beautifully and I realized that she was useless again. She was right, I liked it... But it just didn't work.

I tore myself away from his eyes and shook myself. Then I ran home even faster than before and went to take a shower.

POV Weston

I had lost her again. Actually, I could have just run after her, but I was dizzy. Her eyes were so beautiful and radiated something so innocent and vulnerable I just wanted to hold her in my arms.

Then she ran away and left me there alone.

So here I was. On a meadow in the middle of the forest.

Slowly and sadly, I walked back to the lake.

Once there, everyone started talking, but I turned them off and ran back to the villa.

She was so soft. Why did she have to go? We do need them. whined my wolf. I had never seen him like this before, he had never been so incredibly sad. Actually, Max was more of a daredevil, but I didn't expect that he could switch to a softie like that.

I lay awake in bed all night thinking about the white wolf. Until finally (at 07:00 in the morning) my eyes closed and I fell into a deep sleep. Although it wasn't really worth it anymore.
