Broken Luna

She Will Be Everything

~Jem POV~~

"Jem?"

My brother called my name again, I growled at him as I twisted away from my mate running from me, "why did you do that?"

Confusion remained on my brothers face for a moment before his mouth formed an o - looking after Jude as she ran, "wow. Okay. Um. Did not think you'd find your mate at my highschool man. Weeeeeeird..."

He shuddered. I growled again.

"Do you know Jude?" I asked. I just had Jude to go off of, that or follow her scent. And even if I could smell wolf on her she didn't seem to understand her draw to me. Like she'd never known about mates...

Brandon shook his head... "Uh... not really. I mean I think I had her in art last year. Kinda keeps to herself from what I can remember - I do recall she is a crazy talented artist... so. She's your mate?"

I roll my eyes, "no s**t Sherlock... You already said that" My wolf Wraith whined in my mind - why did mate run from us?

I don't know Wraith... I'm not sure she knows she's wolf... That was my best guess. Problem was - to sense her she must have been eighteen. And usually the night of a werewolves eighteenth birthday they go through their first shift. I sensed her so she had to have already turned eighteen. Still - there could be other reasons she wasn't aware of our world...

Looking to my brother I sighed. Everything in my told me to go follow my mate - to find her. But I had a meeting that Bran and I had to get too. She went to school here. So I had time to find her. To not overwhelm her. Even though my wolf wined and paced in my mind for his mate... "You can help me with her tomorrow... But we have to get back for the pack meeting..."

I looked away again, a low whine leaving me. I could hear Bran prepare to make a commnet... but his mouth closed again. A moment of silence before finally he slapped my shoulder, "okay lover boy. Lets get to the meeting. I'll look for her tomorrow and try to find out more. Got to make friends with my future Luna, right?"

It was clear the last thing I wanted to do right now as leave. It was almost physically painful to know I had found my mate and that I was going to have to leave her here right now. That I couldn't just take her with me now.

My whole life I've waited to find who the moon goddess had blessed me with. I'd hardly taken anything in by the way that the loose dark hairs around her face framed her delicate features. How her stunning dark brown eyes had captivated me so completely I felt like I'd fallen into them.

I had wanted to get lost in them... To taste the delicious curve of her lips...

Never had I felt such difficulty leaving. But finally I moved. Even if it felt like I had lead in my boots. My mate had looked distressed when she'd run into me. And my wolf whined more that our mate needed us.

But so did our pack. I would find out who had distressed her. I'd deal with them. I could go home - make sure I had everything ready to welcome my mate - my luna. Telling Wraith not to fret. Because soon we'd be able to show Jude how we'd protect her. Care for her.

Love her.
