His Mortal Luna

Troy “Hey, don’t you know it’s bad luck to see the bride on the eve of our wedding.” Elisa asks, smiling as I sneak into her room. I don’t know how to stay away from her. It has been a day since she was cooked up in this room awaiting our wedding day. My life has been remarkable since I accepted her to be my mate. I don’t know why I was an a** to her before. “You know I can’t stay away from you, Elisa.” I say, wrapping my hands around her tiny waist as I pull her towards me for a kiss. She manages to take my breath away each single time. I am just lucky to have her. “You will not have to anymore my love. Because from tomorrow, I am going to be yours fully.” She smiles, kissing me back. It’s brief but breathtaking. “I really cannot wait, Elisa. To say, you are not just my mate, but my wife.” I say feeling so emotional. Tears threaten to spill from my eyes. She is finally going to be mine. “I am going to give you so many children, I mean pups.” She chuckles at the last statement. She has been trying so hard to fit in. I know it is hard for her, so I don't pressure her in any way. “First, I want to enjoy being alone with my wife first before getting pups. I want you all to myself, Elisa.” I say sincerely. If it were in my power, I would have her glued to me forever. “Well, lover boy, you need to go now before the Luna finds you here.” She says, bringing me to my senses. “S**t, but I don’t want to leave you alone here.” I say. “Stop whining Alpha, Troy. I need to get my beauty sleep, or do you want me to be all ugly tomorrow.” She jokes kissing my cheek. “Don’t start what you cannot finish love, and besides, you are the most beautiful woman in North wood pack, no one can surpass you.” I say, meaning every word. I know I have once told her that she was ugly, not once, but many times. I always regret every single day. I know she forgave me, but I still punish myself for it. “Alright then, you need to leave now.” She says, pushing me outside the room. She kisses me first, “I love you, Troy.” She adds. I just take her in my arms quietly, smelling her hair before unwillingly letting her go. It’s really going to be a long night. I walk back to my room on the other side of the wing. I feel bad leaving Elisa, I am so used to her that I cannot fully function when she is away from me. I hop into the shower and change into my pajamas, ready to sleep. Shortly I hear a knock on the door, I open it and a smiling Levy stands at the door. He has become quite a friend of late, reminding me of Calvin, I miss him every day. “Levy.” I say not exactly knowing why he is here. I wasn’t expecting him. “Troy, what are you doing here on your wedding night. Aren’t you supposed to be at your bachelor’s party?” he asks, smiling. “I just want to sleep, man, I can’t wait for tomorrow, you know. The only way not to be anxious is if I sleep now. That when I open my eyes again it will be morning.” I confess as he follows me to my room, closing the door behind him. “I understand that’s how I felt when Mary and I were getting married. I couldn’t wait, my heart was all over the place.” Levy says, as his eyes light up when he mentions Mary’s name. I feel so bad for using Mary for my pleasure for so many years. I was an a**hole. “I will leave you then, see you in the morning. My wife is missing me.” He says leaving, I could tell that they were mind linking. That’s what I will never be able to experience with Elisa, I could have loved to hear her sweet voice in my head. But I love her regardless. *** I wake up earlier and spend almost an hour in the shower. The wedding starts at ten, so I have three hours to prepare myself. I make sure I look incredible just for Elisa. I want her to fall for me again when she sees me. I want her eyes to be glued on me. I wear her best cologne, she gifted me during my birthday. I look at myself in the mirror and smile at how perfect I look. Now it’s time, I hope she doesn’t keep me waiting because I am already tired. I just want the wedding to be over soon so that I can have some alone time with my bride. As I walk towards the dining area, my heart starts to feel odd. It’s as if something bad is going to happen, or it has already happened. I hear commotion coming from the other side of the wing. Isn’t that where Elisa is? Without thinking twice, I run towards the commotion. I hope my mate is alright. I stop, not knowing whether to proceed or not, when I notice a small crowd gathered at the entrance of her door. ‘Troy, our mate.’ Torak says in the same shock as I am. I don’t know what to say. I walk slowly, my heart thumping in my chest. I notice my mother’s worried expression on her face as she sees me approaching. “Mom, what is happening.” I ask, almost crying, I don’t know why, but I know something has happened to my Elisa. “Oh Troy.” She says, wiping her tears and taking me in her arms. “Mom, what is it?” tears escape my eyes as I push her slightly at arm’s length. “Tell me mom.” I demand. “It's Elisa, she…” before she can finish her sentence I push past her, shoving each person in my path away, and I enter Elisa’s room. My eyes widen when I notice the messy room. Everything is a mess, the table is turned, Elisa’s photos on the floor broken, the bed in shambles. Where is Elisa? My heart freezes when I spot traces of blood right near the bathroom door. “Elisaaa!” I shout as I run to the bathroom. I swing the door open and more blood is on the floor. I don’t need anyone to tell me it’s hers. Because her scent is all over the blood. What happened. I feel like I am running mad for not finding my mate. “Mom, where is my mate.” I shout from the room, causing everyone to scatter in fear. I didn’t notice I was shouting in my Alpha tone. Is my Elisa dead? I collapse on the floor just by the thought. What will my life be without her? What happened to my mate? “Mom please.” I beg, tearing my coat away from my body and the tie as well. My mom just stares at me as if she wants to break bad news to me. I brace myself for what is about to happen. “She was taken, my love.” My mother says, sitting on the floor next to me. “Taken?” I ask, not understanding what she means. “Yes, Troy, she was kidnapped.” She says holding my hands. “Who dares to hurt my mate, I will kill them, mother. I will.” I say in anger as tears stream down my face. I have never been this broken, not since I saw Elisa at a verge of death when she was shot. I can't imagine what my Elisa is going through right now. I will kill that person, I swear. “I am going to find her mom.” I get off the floor. I can't manage to sit here just whining when my mate is suffering. What condition is she in after losing all that blood. Where will I start from now? I am so confused. “Troy, wait!” My mom calls after me, but I don't look back. “They left a note, son.” She adds, making me stop and run back to her. I take it from her and read it. 'TIME FOR PAYBACK, TROY. A**HOLE. the note says. It is typed and not handwritten, I would have been able to sniff the person right out. He or she thinks they are clever, but they are not a match for me. So Elisa is suffering because of me. “I don't know what to do, mom.” I say, she takes me into her arms and strokes my back. “I know son, today was supposed to be your big day, I am so sorry. But no need to worry, your father and the guards are on it. They will leave no stone unturned." She assures me. “You should have called me mum. Maybe I would have done something.” I say, feeling guilty for leaving her all alone. I wish all these wedding rituals weren't there. What if I caused it by going to see her last night. I shouldn't have, maybe she would have been here right now. I head to my room so that I can get into more comfortable clothes. This tuxedo won't do, someone is going to die today for hurting my mate. As I enter the room, I find a note on my bed. But who put it here, I was here just a while ago, and I made my bed before going out. I take it from the bed and read it, I notice it has more words, but the font size and type is the same. Who is this messing with me like this? 'ITS ONLY THE BEGINNING, TROY. YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR BEING AN A*****E. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU, YOU THINK YOU CAN BE HAPPY WHILE I SUFFER. IN YOUR DREAMS. Ps. ELISA IS WHERE YOU FIRST REVEALED YOURSELF TO HER. HURRY, SHE DOESN’T HAVE MUCH TIME. F**K YOU. I AM COMING FOR YOU.' The note says. Which place is that? I pace up and down as I think of what the note meant. I know I have pissed so many people, I can't even know who is after me. Right now, Elisa needs me. At first I thought the person stalking us was Tess, but she is in jail now, which only means the person is lurking around us.
