REINCARNATED SOUL: The Luna AWAKENING

CHAPTER ONE Denneris LYCAN KINGDOM "No Alaric! We are done." I fought the urge not to scream as I told my ex lover the reality of where we stood. For goodness sake today's the day I get hitched. Why was Ric doing this to me?. "You can't get married to him Denny. I can't bear the thought of you being all lovey dovey with him while I have to watch. Let us elope together, start a fresh." Alaric's voice had become gentle and sweet as he tried to convince me otherwise. The old me, would have bought his idea. But, Greg was my mate. The red thread of fate connected us to become one. I was his and he was mine. I had no intention of moving an inch out of the palace neither did I want to leave the kingdom. I gently walked towards my ex lover, my gaze never leaving his. Ric had a way with his words but there was nothing he could say that would make me elope with him. He needed to know that. "Ric. I love you, I always will. But, we are not meant to be together. You will find someone better. Someone who will make your days bright and your nights beautiful." I said to him, with an intense gaze that was curious to know what he was thinking at the moment. Ric wasn't one to wear his emotions on his sleeves like I did which made it difficult for me to read him. Still, I meant every word I said and I wished him the best of luck. "You don't want to be with me anymore. You just said you love me. If you love me, then let us f**k this wedding up and get the hell out of here." He finally spoke, his voice breaking with unshed tears as he did. I loved him, but I felt nothing of any emotional sort towards him. There were no butterflies that came with his stares. He had become a "brotherly figure" in my life but I did not dare say it out loud to his hearing. "He needs to know eventually though. That he has become, the brother you never had." My wolf snickered. "Dola this isn't the time to make jokes or side remarks. If you can't be of help, then don't butt in." I scolded Dola who was quick to apologize. I wasn't stepping an inch out of here. I respected him and wanted the best for him. He was after all my first love, he was my first s****l contact and the one I willingly gave my virginity to. But my world revolved around Greg. My wolf yearned for him and my entire being burned for him. "No Ric. You are his right hand man, his beta. Your duty is to him and it is my duty as his Luna to be loyal to him and the crown." I left no room for arguments with my words. This was the best way to end this insane discussion. Treason was a big offense punishable by the crown and what he asked of me was nothing short of disloyalty and a break of the trust the Aloha had on me. I guess Ric finally understood that his goal to convince me was a lost cause so he decided to accept defeat. "I completely understand Den.You are right. I apologize." He said with defeat. "The heart wants what it wants." Dola my wolf, chirped in. "Dola!." I scolded. She was starting to get on my nerves with her words. It was more like she enjoyed the awkward situation I found myself currently in. "I'm sorry. It's just that he's an ass. I never liked him for you from the start." She apologized once again, her apologies were obviously fake and lacked sincerity. But, Dola always had a thing or two to say about Ric, she always did. Relief washed over me as Ric finally understood where I was coming from. He was a good guy, he was going to be an eye candy for the ladies of the Kingdom. I once upon a time drooled over him. "I have few hours to prepare. I'll see you at the altar." I said as I made to leave and hurry to the dressing room before my absence was noticed. Ric on the other hand, still had some few scores to settle with me. His words tore me to shreds at the reality of what I had failed to do. "Did you tell the Alpha about our past relationship?. You do know honesty is the bane of every relationship." Ric jabbed at me with his words. He was right, I wasn't completely honest with Greg. I did a mental note to myself to come clean to him. I just needed to find him before Ric did me the honors. "Don't worry, I won't rat you out." He read my mind like he always did and I heaved a sigh of relief. "I have something for you though. A little wedding gift." I did not expect those words from him, not after the conversation we just had. But like I said, he was full of surprises. Curiosity got the better part of me as I wanted to know what he had to give me as a good luck wedding gift. "I hope he doesn't plan on giving you a dead frog." My wolf Dola teased. She expected another round of scolding from me, but I took her words seriously. Ric was a spontaneous person. He could do anything when things don't work out in his favor. I have witnessed his rage first hand. We were both at the north wing of the palace. This part of the palace was under renovation and it's walls were mostly cracked open. I felt guilt wash over me at even agreeing to meet my ex in secret. "Your gifts should be presented to me at the hall of gifts for the bride. I can't accept anything from you without coming clean to Greg about our past relationship." I told Ric, whose expression was still difficult to read. For the strangest of reasons, I could feel the hair at the back of my head stand and chills run down my spine. I had overstayed my welcome and the sudden fear that gripped me was a sign it was time for me to leave. "Run Denneris, run." A voice in my head warned as I hurriedly made way to the exit door in front of me. Little did I know...
