The stubborn Luna

Goodbye and a hello

Ryland left, he left with the members he picked and the pack members he brought with him, even Ryan his gamma seemed to have a sad look in his eye, I never thought I would hate a goodbye as much as I did in that moment. I stood in the drive lane holding onto the man I just met a few days ago, his fingers gently tracing down my back “I promise I’ll be back, one week tops.” He said quietly making me take a breath “you keep pushing out the time.” I grumbled into his chest making him laugh “I’m sorry my love, I’ll be back before you can even have the chance to miss me.” He replied kissing the top of my head, I was prepared for him not to come back at all. The goodbye felt like forever but it also seemed like I’m the blink of an eye he was gone. I stared at the road for a few seconds before someone took my hand “are you okay?” Logan asked looking over at me, I gave his hand a small squeeze “I’ll be fine, it’s only a week right?” I asked with a shrug of my shoulders, luckily we have phones so I knew if I needed I could call him, but part of me didn’t want to be the first one to cave. I went through the motions of every day life for the next few days, training, working out, hanging with my friends but part of my life still felt hallow without him around. Three days have passed when my phone finally dinged, it was 11:30 at night and he was two hours ahead of us so I wouldn’t imagine he’s awake. “Hey the more I thought about it the more I would love it you came to the party, I miss you too much.” I read the text with a small smile “are you sure?” I hit send and almost immediately my phone dinged again “I’m positive, I’ll see you in a few days?” I felt my heart flutter “I’ll see you then;)” I hit send before making sure no other texts would come in, I finally drifted off to sleep, the next day Tif and I went dress shopping, of course I wasn’t going to go without my best friend besides Logan was tagging along so it would be a fun little three best friend trip. What wasn’t fun was trying on 26 dresses in 2 hours and being told no on almost all of them, tifani had an eye for fashion so I knew better then to question her when it came to this. “Tif come on I’m tired” I groaned spinning again for her she smiled shoving another dress into my hands “just one more and if it’s another no I’ll take a break and we can get food.” She beamed back making me playfully roll my eyes as I stepped back into the fitting room, after wiggling out of the other one and into this one I couldn’t help but stare at my own reflection for a few seconds, the dressed hugged my body perfectly it was dark green, strapless, stopped just above my knee and had a pretty high thigh slit but even I didn’t mind. I stepped out looking at tifani with a smile and she let out an excited squeal “this one, absolutely I knew it would be the one!” She beamed making me laugh “and before you even say anything this is my gift to you so don’t even look at the price tag.” She added quickly and pushed me back into the changing room where I changed back into leggings and a shirt before handing the dress back to her. I was even more excited now that I found a dress I actually liked, I wasn’t the dressing up type but for ryland I would do it any day of the week, just the thought of seeing him again was enough to make my lips stay upturned into a smile. The rest of the time flew by and finally it was the night before, I could barely sleep and either could Zora she was too excited to see our mate again, and I didn’t mind admitting it. I slept pretty poorly that night, actually tifani had to come and physically grab my ankles and yank me out of bed, it wasn’t the first. And it wouldn’t be the last time, “Come on you gotta not look like a zombie.” She grunted out as my body finally hit the floor with a thud, I let out a groan slowly getting to my feet “fine give me 20.” I muttered with a yawn as I got to my feet walking in the the bathroom, I rolled my shoulders then my neck which all let out a loud but satisfying popping noise. I brused my teeth, made sure my hair wasn’t all over the place, put on a little makeup, and then got dressed into a black t shirt with blue Jean shorts and thigh high boots, before spraying perfume over me. I walked out with a smile as tifani smiled “how are you always so hot?” She asked arching an eyebrow “because I have a personal stylist that refuses to let me look bad.” I replied with a laugh, she took a small sniff before looking confused “you covered your scent?” She asked making me shrug “I kinda want to surprise him, I know he knows I’m coming just not when.” I beamed back making her smile “my Molly is in lovvveeeee.” She teased walking over with open arms making me laugh as I pushed her away “no Im not shut up and let’s go.” I laughed and grabbed my phone, a duffle bag with some spare clothes and the dress before walking downstairs. Logan was stuffing his face and my parents were waiting so they could make sure to send us off with a hug and a “be safe, call us when you get there” parent thing. As I pulled away from the hug with my mom she arched an eyebrow ‘are you sure about this?’ She asked through the link making me smile ‘aren’t you the one who was excited for me to find my mate? It’ll only be a day or two’ I replied with a knowing smile in return. The three of us loaded into Logan’s truck and started the drive down there, we each switched on driving every 3 hours and it was an 12 hour drive but we made it in pretty good time. A little under 11 thanks to yours truly speeding habits, there were already a lot of people here and I could feel my nerves creep into my stomach, maybe this wasn’t a good idea after all. Before I could say anything tifani dragged me to a bathroom in the massive building and helped me change, and despite her protest she let me use a little more perfume. I looked at the mirror with a grin “you look amazing and he’s going to fall in love with you even more.” She said hugging me from behind, I smiled taking her hand, her dress was light blue and complimented her eyes and skin tone perfectly, and it matched Logan’s suit too. We all seemingly took a deep breath at the same time before walking into the crowd, I could tell he was here somewhere it was just a matter of finding him.
