The Crescent Moon Twins

Lucil

Lucil's Pov

It woke to the sun in my face and the excitement at the chance I could meet my mate tonight at the event. Koulder is taking his place as Alpha and there will be a lot of wolves from other packs here tonight, so I have a great chance at finding my mate. I get up to go through my closet but quickly realize I need a new dress, especially if I am lucky enough to run into my mate.

I hurried to Koulders' room to get him up. I needed him to take me to the mall. Dad doesn't like me to go alone anymore, so he makes me take someone when I leave the pack grounds. Koulder will have to do with everyone else so busy.

After arguing with him for at least ten minutes, I finally convinced him he needed a new suit for tonight's event and he agreed.

So we drive to the mall and, of course, when we arrive it is packed with people of all kinds and I know Koulder doenst lie bug crowds so I hurry into the only store we needed to go into. Koulder isn't picky. I knew he would only be in there for a few minutes before he was done with everything he needed, so I went straight to the dresses and, thankfully, I spotted one first thing. It's red, floor length with a v neck. It's beautiful. I feel Koulder coming closer, so I turn and point to the dress. He nods in approval, so I take the dress and quickly try on the dress. I stepped out to the mirror and I was pleased, so I hurried to go back in and change and we made our leave.

I am watching the clock like a hawk. I know tonight is Koulders night, but I have a chance to find my fated mate, so I am excited to get home and start getting ready, which will be by the grace of god. I have only two hours before the event starts and I still have to shower, do my hair and makeup and get dressed. "Ugg," I inwardly say to the twins, which is what I call my wolves. They are excited and are also in a hurry to get ready and be in the event hall when people start to arrive.

Inside, I shower and daydream about him. I know he will be perfect for me, but will he be able to accept my life? I mean not all wolves are like my family. We have gifts, and two wolves instead of one is one of them. We are targeted by many, but mostly the witches. I just hope I don't scare my own damn mate off. "Please Moon Goddess, let me have a strong mate."

I finished quickly and rushed to dry my hair and roll it. I then started my makeup and decided to go with light natural colors except for my lips. I put on the same ruby red shade to match my dress. I now only need to wait for my hair to dry and I can remove the curlers and put my dress on.

The closer I get to the event, the more excited I'm getting and my twins too. That is almost never a good thing. We tend to get over stimulated and make people feel threatened. Its just because we give off an aurora that sometimes looks like an atomic bomb, but its just bright. I don't know why people can't just get a grip and understand we won't hurt them without being threatened first.

I check my hair and gently pull the first curler out. Being pleased with the result, I finish and slip my dress on. Now I finish my outfit with silver heels and silver jewelry that is not really silver. I stare at myself in the mirror and again feel almost giddy like a child again. I smile at myself and my twins and head out the door. I slowly make my way through the many pack members that have already started to arrive. I found our table and I sat looking at the door. I watched as each and every person came into the event hall and, again disappointed, he wasn't there. Mom, Dad and Koulder finally enter and join me at our table. Dad said he wanted to talk to us so I guess I can take my focus off this stupid mate thing and listen to what my dad has to say.

"After tonight, me and your mother are going to the bayou for a while. They need our help with the witch situation down there. Lucil, you are welcome to join us, but Koulder you have responsibilities here after tonight."

"I know I do, Dad, and I am proud to have them," Koulder said.

"I want to go." I blurted out.

Everyone was shocked. I've always hated the bayou. It's hot and sticky, and the bugs are awful, but I need a break from all this and, with my powers getting stronger, I may be of some help with the witch situation.

"Lucil, I thought you wanted to stay and help me with things for a while," Koulder said, sounding almost hurt.

"I do, but I need a change in scenery, Koulder. I'll be back, but I need to go for a while."

"He didn't show up, did he?" Koulder said through a mind link and I looked at him with a sad smile.

"OK Sis, go find your one true Mate the pack will be here waiting." He said through mind link again so my mom wouldn't worry about me. or him.

Three weeks later.

I was sitting near the water in front of my private cabin, when something in the distance moved. Me, being the one who couldn't mind my own business, went to investigate.

The closer I got to the edge of the bushes, I saw something move out of the corner of my eye, the hair on the back of my neck stood on end. My wolf scenes were on full alert and the lycan in me growled.

I pushed forward but found nothing but a stench which I think was a rouge. I turn on my heels to head back to my sitting spot when something grabs me hard and pulls my back into what feels like a mountain of muscle. (This was no rouge) Electreicity shot through me like nothing I have ever felt and the sweetest smell of mountains and rain hit my nostrils. Mate! I thought quietly to myself, as I hadn't looked into his eyes yet. My wolves yelled in unison and then I heard it. His deep voice whispered in my ear. Yes, their right, we are mates. I melted in his arms. I waited to hear his next words. But suddenly, as fast as he had grabbed me, he let me go and was gone. I didn't even see his face. What the hell just happened?
