Chapter 05 Best moments, relief and panic

Two weeks passed and I didn't hear anything from Sebastian's mate. I did my background check with the help of Monalisa, one of the east Lunas who is my friend.

Alexas is Alpha Raymond's daughter from the West. She was invited in annual ceremony by her cousin Alpha Leonard, the Alpha of the Silver Moon pack where the annual ceremony took place.

She's the only child of Alpha Raymond. Her mother died while giving birth to her and she was raised single handedly by her father.

Monalisa dug deep and even brought me a picture of Alexas. Even though I didn't want to admit it because it hurt damn much. Alexas is a beautiful woman. She has long brown hair, blue eyes which resembled Sebastian's and an hourglass figure.

"I hope she won't show up in our peaceful lives again," Mia told me and I didn't know how to respond to her statement.

"I hope so too."I told my wolf and she was quiet. I heaved a sigh and closed the files that I was going through inside my Luna's office.

Sebastian was not around, he had gone to the city to take care of something and promised to come back to me before the day breaks. Fear crept in my heart as I watched his car leave the pack,I stared at it until it disappeared.

I couldn't help but get afraid of Sebastian bumping into his fated again. I wanted to hold him back but I chose to keep all my worries and fears to myself because I wouldn't be following him around forever.

Sebastian assured me that he would never leave me every single day. He held my hand whenever we walked together and even kissed me in public just to prove to the world that I was still his lawfully wedded wife. The Luna of mountain pack. His sweet hazel.

Some of the pack members were not happy about it, especially the jealousy type like Simon.

Simon and other committee councils pressured Sebastian to bring the rightful Luna and claim her but he never listened to them. They had no choice but obey his decision because Sebastian is the Alpha. Simon hated me even more and her daughter Arabella laughed at me, reminding me that my life was only hanging on a string.

Some council were on my side, especially Pamela, one of the old ladies who knew how it felt. She understood me and knew whatever I was going through. She comforted me and encouraged me not to give up.

She acted as a Godmother and I was grateful to her. The nightmare about my mother was persistent. Sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night, sweating and my heart pounding wildly. Sebastian held me in his arms and calm me down, assuring me that he won't leave no matter what.

I looked through the window and realized the sun was setting. Heaving a deep sigh, I stood up from the highly backed chair and walked out of my office and went straight to our home.

I arrived at home and my heart dropped. Sebastian was not around and the night was falling. Closing my eyes momentarily, I heaved a deep sigh and headed to the kitchen to distract myself by cooking.

"He will come back to us, "I mumbled under my breath, convincing myself because that was the only way I could hold on.

I decided to prepare pasta, his favorite dish.

"Anybody home? "I heard his husky voice, he was shouting from the living room. A sigh of relief escaped my lips and I blinked countless times to hold back tears.

"Our mate is back, he has fulfilled the promise that he made to us. "Mia purred in my head and I could feel the excitement in her voice.

"I'm in the kitchen preparing dinner for us, My love. "I shouted from the kitchen and a smile graced my lips.

"Hmm…that smells so good. "He said and I turned my head to the door to look at him. His hair was a mess, falling on his forehead. However, that didn't stop him from looking handsome.

I looked at him, not believing that he had really came back to me. A deep frown settled on his handsome features.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? "He grumbled and I smiled.

"You really came back? "I couldn't help but ask. He walked towards me and cupped my face, then wiped tears in my eyes and that's when I realized that I was crying.

I had become attached to my emotions since the incidence. The trauma and nightmares had taken control of my emotions.

"Yes I came back to you. I came back to my sweet Hazel. "He said and his lips curved into a smile.

"I know you don't trust me because of what happened. I understand where you're coming from and I promise to earn back your trust. I know you didn't believe it when I told you that I would come back. But don't worry, I understand. "I nodded my head to his words and I was glad that he understood me.

He planted a gentle kiss on my forehead and I smiled at him, wiping the remaining tears using the back of my hand.

Seb wrapped his strong arms around me tightly and pulled me impossibly closer, burying his face in my neck and inhaled my scent deeply. As though reminding himself how I smelled.

My stomach grumbled and Sebastian chuckled.

"We need to feed you first. I swear you'll need that energy tonight." Sebastian said, his lips curving into a wicked smile. He let go and helped me to prepare the table.

We ate on one plate, he fed me and I was happy. Sebastian caught me staring and raised his brow at me.

"What? Have I grown a third nose? "He asked teasingly and I smiled at his jokes and we continued to eat.

I didn't want him to know what was going on in my head. I wished this moment could last forever. I couldn't help but think about Alexas.

What if one day she pops and takes him?. Fear crept into my heart whenever the thought crossed my mind.

Sebastian didn't allow me to clean the table or do the dishes when we were done eating. He held my hand and helped me to stand up then smashed his lips on mine, kissing me so passionately but gently. Seb gave my arse a gentle squeeze and I moaned in pleasure, he hoisted me and I wrapped my legs around his waist then carried me to our room.

He made love to me multiple times until I couldn't take it anymore. He knew where and how to touch me. He turned me in different positions and made me a moaning mess. It felt like he was reminding me of how the beast he was in bed and I liked it.

A month passed pretty quickly and I was thankful to the moon goddess because Alexas never appeared in our lives again.

The relationship between Sebastian and I was growing strong with each passing day and the wounds in my heart were healing.

The councils of the committee stopped questioning Sebastian about his fate. However, Simon brought up the matter whenever he got a chance.

Sebastian and I were trying to make a baby since we were done with everything in the pack. We prepared three rooms for our future babies because Sebastian wanted three babies.

He didn't care about the baby’s gender. He assured me that he would accept what the moon goddess will bless us with and I was so happy. I rarely had nightmares because the worry in my heart was not that much.

"I'm so excited to have babies with Sebastian, Mia. "I told my wolf and she giggled.

Talking to my wolf had become a habit. It helped me confess what I was going through and it made me feel at ease. Mia listened without judging. She helped me reason out and comforted me when I was down

I was going through some business files which involved mountain pack and Silver Pack when Sebastian's scent filled my nostrils.

Musk, sweet and alluring. His scent was enough to turn me on, Mia groaned in my heady, becoming horny in an instant.

I raised my head slowly and looked to the door and there he was, leaning on the door frame lazily and the corner of his lips curving into a naughty smile.

"Too busy? "He asked, "I'm about to finish it. "I answered and a sigh of exhaustion escaped from my lips.

"Don't push yourself too hard. I can see the exhaustion in your eyes. You have been working hard lately, you need some rest. "He walked to me and sat on top of the wooden vintage chair.

He snatched the pen from my hand, closed the file and pushed it away.

"I need to finish it," I grumbled and tried to reach for the file and pen but he grabbed my hands. I heaved a sigh of defeat and gave up struggling because he was so strong.

He held my hand in his and gave them a small squeeze, then began massaging my pale knuckles and it felt damn good.

"You see? You need some rest. Perhaps some break from working. "He said, his voice low and soothing in my ears.

"Hmm…"I hummed, enjoying the free massage. I raised my head to look at him and we locked eyes, my heart melted into a puddle.

"What about we finish everything and go on a vacation? "He suggested, "What about the pack? "My voice was full of worry .We have never left the pack since Sebastian took over the pack. We have been busy building the pack.

"Matteo and the Gamma will take care of everything. You don't need to worry about that. "He shrugged nonchalantly.

We walked out of my office and headed home on foot. We talked, joked, teased each other and admired nature on our way home. Sebastian picked a wildflower and gave it to me.

I was fluttered at his actions, my hearts beat escalated and butterflies flipped in my tummy. I felt like a teen that had just fallen in love. It was a simple gift but heartwarming.

We prepared dinner together, ate and went straight to our room. I was exhausted from the day's activity therefore we didn't make love.

Sebastian held me in his arms and pulled me close to himself and I wrapped my hands around him tightly and rested my head on his hard masculine chest, listening to his heart and it calmed my spirits. I didn't know how I drifted into a deep slumber.

Even though I was deep in sleep, I felt Sebastian slip from my tight embrace, which was not normal. I frowned and blinked countless times to get rid of the blurry vision and I caught a glimpse of him leaving the room in shorts and barefooted

"What is happening? Are we under attack? "I couldn't help but get worried because Sebastian didn't wake me up to inform me what was happening.

I climbed down from the bed, slid into his slippers and walked out of the room. I descended the grand staircase, holding on to the railings for stability.

My heart pounded wildly against my ribcage with each step I took. Some unexplainable fear crept in my heart and I took few breaths to calm down.

A deep frown settled on my features when I looked at the door and saw Sebastian, Matteo and a woman standing at the door.

I couldn't tell who the woman was because her back was turned on me. Her body was bruised and her clothes were ragged, it looked like she had come from a battlefield because of the smell of fresh blood in the air.

The three of them were talking in low voices, and I couldn't tell what the talk was all about. Perhaps Sebastian asked them to talk in low tones so that they wouldn't wake me up

My heart melted into a puddle when the thoughts crossed my mind. Heaving a slow sigh, I walked to the door to find out what was happening. Maybe I can help them find a solution, who knows?.

"What is the matter? What happened to her? Was she abused by her mate? "I asked countless questions.

Sebastian and Matteo froze in place when they heard my voice and I frowned at their reaction. It screamed of something...I couldn't tell.

"Hey, what happened to you?. Did your mate abuse you? He's supposed to be punished because we don't encourage such behaviors in mountain pack. "I said, my voice bold and it held a death promise.

It was silent, deadly silent that I could hear my palpitating heart in my ear. The lady turned around stiffly and my heart stopped for a moment when I saw the full
