The comet, red and fiery, passed swiftly, its coming one that hasn't been seen for hundreds of years. Nanny Mel breathed hard, wishing it would be someone else. She knew the legends of the comets and she knew what this could mean. She clasped her hands.
"Moon goddess, please."
"You....found her?"
She asked, hoping she hadn't heard it right the first time. He nodded, smiling.
"I gave up on her when you came along. I thought I could just leave her since I had you. Maybe you proving to me that I never did was the moon goddess's way of telling me that she had someone else in store for me."
Her heart sank with those words, but she tried to ignore the fact that he hasn't said the mate was better. She didn’t want to give herself hope. He spared her another glance, before walking to his closet, the closet they both had never removed, even though he had given the room to her. He took out a hanger, smiled at it and literally skipped out of the roo
Alec looked at Isabella."Shut up. Let's keep going."Evander looked at the bag again and clutched it, before they resume walking. Jake and Isabella stayed behind, their minds occupied. Another shout from Evander, and all of them came to their senses."What's happening?"He was panting and gasping for air, clutching his chest and crying."I don't understand this.”Jake turned."There is a house..."He strained his eyes."Maybe a mile from here. I'll carry him there. Get ready to run."They all nodded, and he carried Evander, who was a bit quiet now, but sobbing nonetheless. They started running, ignoring the shrubs, Isabella ahead of them. Once they reached the house, three people, who were wearing black masks came out and ran the opposite direction."No...."Evander breathed, but none of them thought anything of it, before they entered the house. There
Evander woke up, looking fresh and well rested. He'd slept the entire day and everyone was starting to get anxious."I mean, he doesn't even sleep much. Why now? Do you think he died in his sleep?"Jake threw a pillow at him."Shut up. He'll wake up."Isabella sat next to his bed without saying a word, and she was the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes. He didn't exactlyreflect her smile, but at least, the hate wasn't that evident in his eyes. She held his hand."Evander, are you okay? How do you feel?"He stared at the hand for a while and she started contemplating whether she should let his hand go before he answered her."I feel good."He released his hand from hers, flipped off the covers, stood and stretched, his face more relaxed than she had seen it in a while. "Okay, I’ll just tell Jake and Alec. They were so worried.""No need. Get some rest. I'll just go down myself.”
"Nice to see you again, nanny."She scowled."Is there something distasteful in the air? Your face doesn’t look good.""You know what's distasteful here. And you know I will never forgive it."Evander simply sighed"I didn't expect you to understand me, nanny. But still, even though I expected it, I don't know why it hurts."She shook her head."My realization of who you truly are underneath those innocent scales hurt you? You killed your own family to become alpha. You took advantage of your brother's insecurity andgot him out of full moon. Before you, we were the epitome of forgiveness and mercy. After you came, you made us just like split moon."He winced. The uncanny link to Isabella stung."You know somewhere in there, in your heart, if you still have one, that I wasn’t responsible for any of the things that happened that night."Leaning back in his
Once her lips touched his, he closed his eyes, his breath hitching a bit. He was too shocked to respond at first, but then his response came slow, taking it at his pace. He held her waist, pulling her close and it wasn’t just desperation or love, it was also yearning, heartbreak and will. It was the will to forgive and let go.A small chuckle came, and she released him, but his hand still lingered on her waist, his face still resting on hers."I'm so sorry"Jake said, a mischievous glint in his eyes and Evander closed his eyes, letting her go, slowly and Once he did, she moved away, trying to keep reasonable distance."Evander?"His head was still lowered, his hands now feeling suddenly empty and he looked up at her, giving a small smile."Thanks"he turned to Jake."You need me?"He nodded."Yeah. If you can..."" I
The crowd hushed as Evander cleared his throat, the sound slightly mixed with his wolf's call."New moon pack!"Everywhere fell silent and Evander took the cue."Your alpha stands before you today, with a heavy heart, to announce to you, that i have found my mate, the supposed to be Luna of our proud pack."He said and let the information sink in. The crowdassimilated, before the cheers started, ripping through the grand hall. He let them cheer for a minute, she deserves that cheer, even though she had tried to run from them. The cheers died down as he cleared his throat again."But, as fate would have it,"he said and pointed to the body, before he continued."She died. She died before we could properly introduce her to you. Her loyal subjects.”The crowd hushed, before someone started a morning bowl, and everybody else joined in, Except Evander. She didn’t des
She looked at him from head to toe and adjusted her stance, crossing her legs and standing like the dignified lady she knew she was."Brother? He's your brother?"Evander nodded still glancing at his brother as she looked between them."Well. Good for you."She said curly and went to stand by Evander's side."So, brother. What brought you here?"Alexander was looking at Isabella, studying her, a small smile curving his small pink lips upward. Evander noticed and cleared his throat."Alexander."He looked up, and laughed at his own absentmindedness."Sorry. She's cute.Where did you get her from?""I'm not a frigging puppy."She interjected before Evander could even open his mouth. Alexander burst into laughter again, and adjusted his tall frame so he was mostly looking at his brother." you came to pay your respects?"Evander
"So yeah, Evander found her but lost her."Alex completed his story of how Evander found his mate to Alexander, while Evander snuggled on Isabella's shoulder's dozing."Wow, brother. How did you cope?"He blinked."I'm okay."He said simply and closed his eyes again."So now, you are officially single and without a mate. Damn, that's lucky as hell."Evander rubbed his eyes and sat up."You don't say"he said, smiling at Isabella before he returned back to his position. But Alexander wasn’t done yet."Well, you see. There was this girl for me. I met her by accident, you know. Her fiery red hair caught my eyes, but her innocence captured my soul. It was thelast time I was here, four years, right? Yeah, four years."He said nodding as he answered his own question. Evander was a bit sleepy, but was listening anyway, Alex was wide eyed while Jake propp
Alexander gasped and wobbled on his feet, but was promptly caught by a smiling Evander."Brother, get a hold of yourself. You are not the only one seeing it"he said with a laugh as Alexander took a step forward. Jake and Alex stood behind them, a teary eyed look on their faces as they saw Alexander's glee."Moon Goddess...Evander, brother...."He dragged the red head into his warm embrace, holding her tight as if that closeness wasn't close enough."baby....I thought I lost you"she simply smiled and shook her head, with a tender look in her eyes. Alexander suddenly took a step back, his brows furrowed, his lips set in a tight line."Evander, I’m sorry. You can have her now."Evander raised a brow."What are you talking about?"EvenIsabella tilted her head in confusion."She is your mate, have you forgotten brother?"He said, his head lowered. Evander burst out laughing
