The Luna's Last Wish

Chapter2

"Hello, Anna."

The mellifluous voice of my best friend ran in my ear lifting my spirit a little.

As I turned, my gaze fell on my best friend who had become more than a sister to me.

I stood up immediately and ran into her arms and busted out in tears.

My tears dripped down the back of her gown as I couldn't hold it in any longer.

Just then something quite strange hit me hard.

This wasn't the Lisa Edwards I used to know, She didn't even return my hug as tightly as she would have done.

"Something is wrong…" my mind raced.

As I was about to break the hug and ask my best friend what her deal was today, I felt a sharp pang in my heart.

Immediately I gazed down only to be shocked by what had just happened.

"What the heck! What the hell!"

I screamed as my heart started thumping faster than usual.

As I stared down my gaze fell on my late dad's dagger and it was sticking right out of my chest.

My eyes widened in disbelief as I gazed upon my best friend Lisa whom I had considered to be a sister that I never had as she stood there with a silly smirk on her face.

I fell to the floor making a rather silent thump on the wooden altar floor board, it was already dark and the only light source was the half moon which was fast dimming down just like my heart.

Lying there on the altar I held onto the handle of my dad's dagger, with tears in my eyes, I tried to pull out the dagger slowly.

"Don't fight it."

"Just die and be gone from our lives for good."

The husky voice of Eric Justin broke through and immediately I turned and images of the pain and wickedness that I had endured in his hands hit me like a tsunami aching my very soul.

"Why?... Lisa, I took you as a sister… I told you secrets I never told anyone... why would you choose to kill me?"

I asked as tears slowly fell down my eyes, all this while my gaze was on my best friend whose betrayal had touched me the most.

"So you still haven't gotten the memo…you are just so gullible, aren't you?"

Lisa Edwards asked as she walked closer to me, holding the handle of my dad's dagger and driving it deeper into my chest making me scream out in pain.

"Die you animal, die and leave my mate Eric for me."

The words of Lisa hit me like a thousand arrows aimed at my very soul.

I managed to crawl to the edge of the altar and leaned on the wall, I could feel life drifting away from me very slowly.

"Wait…so Eric has actually been your true mate…all along?"

I managed to mutter those words as I stared at the people I had loved as they betrayed me.

My eyes were burning red in anger as I clenched my fist, but I couldn't do anything as I struggled to breathe.

My eyes fell on the blood stains that I had made as I crawled to the wall, tears welled down my eyes profusely.

Eric and Lisa nodded together and smirked as their eyes glowed in the dark.

"So all this had been…a setup…from the very beginning?" I asked, my voice was barely above whispers as I managed to keep my eyes open.

"Not necessarily, but when you put it that way, plus how gullible you have been since you turned 16, then I guess it's definitely a setup."

Lisa said as she fell into the hands of Eric who caught her in a hug, all in a bid to make my dying self jealous.

"It's definitely a setup," Eric said sarcastically as he stared at me.

"It was all my mate's plan to seduce you into my hands so that when you are suddenly no more, just like your dad, I will finally have my place as the rightful Alpha of this pack since your father decided to make you the Alpha instead of me."

Eric's voice was laced with anger and disdain for both me and my late dad as he spoke vehemently.

"So it was you two all this while…I should have known."

I managed to say as I gasped for air while holding onto the bronze handle of my dad's dagger which was still sticking out of my chest.

I immediately coughed and the entire floorboard was littered with my bloody sputum.

"Your dad actually brought this upon himself and you… if he had just given the pack to my mate here…who knows maybe all this bloodshed wouldn't have happened."

Lisa said as she tried to be a bit remorseful but immediately her true evil demeanor took over as she hugged Eric tightly.

The words of Lisa hit me like a tsunami shaking me vehemently.

"Wait…a minute, so you two actually killed my father…the Alpha?" I asked with the last breath I had in me.

"Well we didn't say that…but whoever did we are grateful he or she did." Lisa immediately answered as she stared at me with anger reeking all over her.

"All this would have been over since if not for your guardian of the galaxy of a mate whom you had rejected all because of me."

"He had saved you all this while without you even being aware of it… you remember that poison that almost killed you some 2 months ago…Well that was us but fortunately for you, your Knight in shining armor came once again to your rescue as he had been doing countless times."

Eric Justin said as he walked towards the altar and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Their confessions had made me realize what a jerk I had been for rejecting Alpha Alfred of the Hunters pack, everything was happening so fast and I was running out of time.

I was dumbfounded and I only wished I had known that I had been living with my enemies since I turned 16.

"Then we came up with the blackmail as a backup plan to really make sure you had no choice but to renounce your title as the Luna of this pack."

Lisa added with a mixture of happiness and disdain reeking all over.

As I lay in the pool of my cold blood, all I could ask myself was why.

'Why didn't I see this coming?'

'How did I not see this illusion all these years?'

As I lay on the altar, all I could wish for was a second chance to get it right this time around.

This time around I would really make sure that Lisa and Eric pay dearly for all the pains they have cost me.

This time around I will find my true mate.

Walking over to me, Lisa and Eric laughed out loud under the dark cloudy night sky.

"We wish you a sweet journey to the great beyond."

Lisa said as they both walked away snuggling each other tightly without sparing me yet another glance.

"Oh moon goddess, what have I done to deserve all this misery…all I ask is for a second chance again to get it right this time around."

As my eyes were shutting permanently, I could hear a faint voice.

"Anna…please don't go."

With the last strength i

n us, my wolf Zia tried screaming, "M…ateee."

But this time around, he was already late, I had just drifted into the afterlife.
