The Lycan's Soul Mate
chapter 22 Friends Again

Luca and Soccorah walked home in silence. Neither of them saying aword to the other secretly occupied in their own thoughts. Luca wentright to the bathroom to shower. He couldn't believe what hadhappened. She actually forgave him. After those months of beingpunished she finally forgave him. He breathed a sigh of relief as thewater run down his body. He kept smiling as he remembered her smile,her touch as she held his hand.

Her beautiful blue eyes filled up his senses. He could smell her all overhis clothes. Her scent was one that he would never forget. He ached allover for her but he knew that he couldn't push it. She'd only justforgiven him. He would have to use all of his charm to conquer her.Overnight this had become his only focus. It was as if he needed her tolive hell to breathe. All those months with her treating him like nothing,like he didn't exist was hell for him. Having her forgiveness was a silverlining. It gave him hope.

In spite of all this he was an Alphas son and he couldn't be weak.Besides he had promised his father he would choose a mate soon andhe had to choose one from the pack. He wasn't sure what Luna was.She had not told them what she was and he couldn't push as he didn'twant to make things bad between them again. Sooner or later, shewould be comfortable enough to open up to him or Soccorah but thattime was not yet upon them.

Soccorah like Luca was beside herself with happiness. She was relievedthat she had her friend back and vowed that she would never be soinquisitive again. Trust is of paramount importance to the survival of afriendship and she would not risk her friendship ever again. Luna hadproven to be a great friend and just as the friendship had started tobud, she'd managed to ruin it. Luna was one of a kind and if it's the lastthing she did she would regain Luna's trust. As she sat on her bed inher sleep clothes looking up at the rising moon, she thanked thegoddess for rekindling their friendship. She grabbed her cellphone andcalled Luna to make plans for the following day. She'd seen the waythat Luca looked at Luna and thought that there was something butafter he'd reprimanded her after the night everything went wrong, shereally wanted to just not do anything to bring about a repeat of hisdisappointment toward her.

“Luna, it's me Soccorah. I just wanted to thank you again for forgivingme. It was a terrible time for me not being able to talk or do anythingthat friends do since u were so pissed at me. Is it too soon to ask you tohang out with us by the creek in the woods?" Soccorah asked.

“Thanks for the invite. Will be there. I mean since I was planning ontaking a walk over there anyway. Not like I had anything to do on aSaturday.” Luna replied quite happy about the invitation. She reallywanted to know what Soccorah meant by US. OMG! It has to be Luca.Soccorah didn't really hang out with anyone other than Luca andherself and Luca anyway. Luna's heart started to race and her breathingintensified. She really didn't know what was happening.

It was as if every time she was close to Luca everything changed. Heremotions just tried to get the better of her. She'd want him. Really wanthim but she was a girl and she had class. She refused to be like thosesex crazed girls at school who literally threw themselves at guys andmost of those guys didn’t even want them. They'd use them thendiscard them and move onto the next girl.

How perfect would it be if Luca shared her feelings? But she knew thatshe could never be this lucky. Besides he was a Lycan. From what heruncle had told her he couldn't be with just anyone. He would have toimprint to choose a mate. The goddess has to make that choice forthem as they are direct descendants of the moon goddess. Kind of likea prince. She sighed as she thought of this notion. If he were a princethen she definitely was out of his league. He would need a princess,someone of a rare and precious lineage and damn it she didn't havethat. Hell, she didn't even know that she was a ware wolf until recentlyand she was still ignorant of all that it entailed. Thank the goddess forher uncle. If not for him she never would have made such progress.Luna who now lived with her uncle had left most of her clothing at herold house dreaded having to go there, went to ask her uncle whetherhe could accompany her to get the rest of her stuff. Things had notbeen the best with Luna and the persons whom she believed to be herparents and since the deception she'd moved out. Lucian Gladly agreedand got his keys. He's stayed in the car and waited while she got herstuff.

Luna thanked the goddess that no one was home and quickly grabbedher stuff and left. She'd left a note to let them know that she collectedthe rest of her stuff. Lucian on the other hand could see how nervousshe was so he asked “where are you off to anyway. Why all thosepreparations?” Luna was surprised at his question and simply said “I'mgoing by the creek with Soccorah and her friends.” Lucian smiled andreplied “That's what has you all rattled up. Thought you had a date orsomething. You weren't this nervous when we had that competition.Relax!”

Luna thought to herself that Luca wasn't at that competition and shehadn't met him yet. She didn’t even know that she could feel this wayabout someone let alone be this nervous. She didn’t even know if hewould be there but yet still, she worried about her appearance. “Lucianis right you need to relax. These are your friends so don't be a nerd andgo ruining it. Relax Luna. You still have time to prepare.” She said toherself begging the great white wolf inside her to settle down.

“We're friends again. I don't know why I'm so nervous. You're right.There is nothing to worry about. I don't need to impress anyone. Justneed to be myself.” She said out loud as she carried her stuff to herroom.
