The Blinded Luna

CHAPTER FOUR:

Meg’s POV:

It’s been one tiring day, but also more fun than I could have imagined. The winner from the tournament in the older group with wolfs was from Crystal Moon, Alpha Brian’s son Graham 17 years old and the winner from the non-wolf group was Abigail, Mrs Swanson’s daughter from Purple Star who is 16 years old. I just was in second place on the older group, Graham had managed to overpower me in the last minute, mainly because I got distracted by an over whelming smell of Tabby’s muffins. I must be really hungry after all the tackles and laughed at myself why shaking Graham’s hand. Everyone congratulated them appropriately and we all went for showers then returned to the inside of the training area where there was a huge buffet awaiting us for dinner.

I couldn’t wait to get some of the muffins I missed them at breakfast, they had all gone and lunch was bags of sandwiches and fruit passed to us along the benches in between fights. I walked along the table grabbing hot and cold food onto my plate and got to the end. I sighed, there wasn’t any muffins here either. Oh well, I thought to myself and grabbed a chocolate roll.

I headed to the table where Ellie and everyone sat and perched myself between Xander and Daisy. Every time the door to the hall opened, I would get the smell again and was beginning to get frustrated almost like someone was teasing me and purposely hiding the freshly cooked muffins.

I had finished my other food and stood to leave the table, when Xander grabbed my arm, “Where are you going Meg? We are starting a disco here soon; I want a dance with you.” He sighed at me.

“I need some air; I will be back later.” I assured him, although I doubt, I would come back if there was go being an actual party! He should know that.

“You won’t come back!” Daisy scowled as Xander let my arm fall.

“I will, I will come back but not for long if it’s going be a full-on party. I just need some air.” I tried to sound like I was telling the truth, she glared at me.

“Fine, but you better or I will hunt you down! You can’t not come to your own birthday party! Today has been ace! You need to see it through.” She folded her arms across her chest.

“I will. I have enjoyed today; it’s been really good. I was dreading it, but I did enjoy it.” I smiled to Xander who was beaming. “I promise I will come back for a little bit, but right now, I haven’t had a run yet today, so Lizzie and I need to just go get some air.” I sounded convincing I thought.

‘Don’t blame me because you are a party pooper!’ Lizzie growled in head.

“Ok, well make sure you do!” Daisy replied with a bit of a smile on her face.

As I left the hall, I headed for the tree line and stood behind a bush, stripping down naked and shifted to Lizzie. We ran the opposite direction that we would normally run, but I just let her take control. After awhile I noticed she had not been going in our normal circles around the border but a smaller area of the woods in one section.

‘Lizzie, don’t you want to run?’ I ask her wondering what is wrong.

‘Of course, I love to run, but right now I want you to take the lead and focus! What can you smell?’ She asked me with a bit of a c**k attitude.

I sighed and came forward sniffing the air through her nose.

‘What the? Has someone been bringing all the muffins out here?’ I asked her and she laughed so loud I lowered our head a little.

‘Oh, you silly girl, follow the smell and you will see who has been taking them all!’ She laughed and urged me forward.

I begin following the scent through the trees and around a hill, I knew this area well, it had a small pond hidden away in the depths of the trees near the base of the hill. I often went there, as no one bothered to go that far when there were over ponds and lakes around the property, that some would say were much nicer. But the one I went too, was peaceful and full of all different interesting fungi and plants that I studied during my time at college.

As I rounded the corner to the little bit of clearing that was at the side of the pond, I saw nothing out of the ordinary. As I stepped closer to the pond, I realised the smell was coming from the side of me towards the trees. I looked over and Alpha William stepped out from behind the trees, quite timidly looking with a bunch of flowers in his hand.

“Meg, happy birthday.” He smiled nervously as he walked towards me.

Time seemed to go in slow motion, I was drawn into his voice like I had never been before, it was smooth yet rusty and his eyes were glued to mine. They begun to flicker from his own green to the darker green of his wolf rapidly, as they got closer to me.

I could see every muscle twitch, every hair on his head moves with the flow of his body. The shirt he was wearing accented the tone to arms and chest, yet I couldn’t take my eyes of his. I felt like a swirl of wind was pushing me towards him and when he got close to me, I gasped.

He put his hand out and took mine, electric shocks ran up my arms and all through my body, I had never felt so drawn to anyone. Here I was standing in front of my Alpha drooling, I couldn’t gather myself enough for him not to notice. Yet he didn’t seem to mind and stood there smiling whilst I stared at him waiting for me to do something.

‘MATE’ Lizzie growled in my head ‘SAY MATE!’

Her words shocked me, no he wasn’t my mate, I had been in his home for years, he cared for me, helped me with training, he wasn’t my mate!

“Meg, those electric sparks you are feeling and the pull to me, is the mate bond, I Alpha William Jackson, accept you Meg Smither’s as my mate and Luna of Jewel Diamond.” His face was delighted, his whole body screamed happiness.

‘SAY MATE AND ACCEPT!’ Lizzie growled again!

“How? What? Why?” was al I could mumble and then my whole body begun shaking.

“Oh god, you’re in shock, here.” He pulled me closer to his chest and I felt warmth surround me, his arms wrapped around my back and waist as he held me tightly to him.

Sparks intensely running through my veins, I felt like I belonged in his arms, but at the same time I didn’t understand. How could he be my mate? My wolf surely would have known the moment we saw him.

‘Lizzie?’ I ask her tentatively.

‘Of course, I knew along, but you weren’t of age, we had an agreement. I would subdue your senses to him and Loki, he would keep as far away as he could, especially this last few months with you nearly kissing him before and your attraction getting stronger for him, even with me diluting your senses.’ She seemed proud of herself for some reason.

‘How can you do that!?’ I growled at Lizzie, but the growl was out loud.

William looked down at me as I backed out of his arms.

“YOU LIED TO ME, FOR YEARS!” I wasn’t sure if I was shouting at Lizzie or William, but I was furious.
