Waited For The Luna
Chapter 12

“Hey, gorgeous!” Collin greeted with a big smile. Looking so tall and handsome in his denim jacket, he promptly attracted a lot of people’s attention. But sorry to everyone else, he’s here for me.

I then strode towards him and gave him a tight hug.

“What are you doing here? By the way, this is my best friend Macy. Macy this is Collin.”

She was shocked by how handsome Collin is, thinking I only exaggerated my description of him earlier.

“Nice to finally meet you. Anyway, I have to meet a friend nearby. See you tomorrow Bells” she hugged me before giving me a wink. “When you said hot and handsome, I didn’t think this hot and handsome” she whispered in my ear before leaving.

I then turned my attention to Collin and awkwardly asked, “So what brings you here?”

“A pretty girl.” Butterflies were fluttering in my stomach at that moment. “Plus I’ll be staying here for a few days. My father sent me here to work with my uncle on a case. Plus it’s going to be a b***d moon soon. I think I might want to spend it with this pretty girl.” He was clearly flirting. I blushed a little before entering my car. He took the keys and drove us off.

I was really happy Collin is here it really helped me keep my mind off Luka. In fact, Luka never crossed my mind at all. It’s like he’s now invisible to me.

LUKA’S POV

After the incident, I visited her at her home but Thomas said she was still in a coma.

Those goons really went way too far this time. When I went to visit her again but her father said she went away to her aunt. I guess she needed a little breather from all the trauma that she experienced.

‘You brought this to yourself. You wanted to punish mate but ended up hurting yourself!’

‘Shut up Leto!’

Oh, Bellamy, I would rip their heads off I could.

As much as I hated him for blurting out the truth, I hated myself more. If I just accepted her I wouldn’t be in this situation at all. To be honest, seeing her in my old plaid t-shirt that night made it really hard for me to reject her. I did have a crush on her when we were younger, but every time I spoke to her she would reply with a few words and dismiss me. I’d tear that shirt and mark her on the spot if it weren’t for Maya. It would’ve been a different story if she was still here.

A week passed by and still no sign of her. The school felt so boring. I craved for her even more. But I just couldn’t bring myself to accept her. Maya would still be alive if she didn’t snitch on us 3 years ago. Plus, I have a hot girlfriend who loves me so much. Maybe too much.

By Monday I finally saw her, my heart fluttered at the sight of her. She was driving her lexus to school in a floral puff sleeves and a black skirt. Her hair was tied back. She looked so beautiful and happy. I tried my best not to cross hers and my friend’s paths, I wouldn’t want to disrupt her peace at the moment.

But something did felt a little off today. It’s like the force pulling us together is no longer there. I was no longer feeling the mate bond. But my mind and heart still craved for her. Maybe the moon goddess heard her prayers and broke the mate bond off.

‘Mate doesnt feel like mate. Something’s changed’ Leto worriedly said.

‘I feel it to.’

‘You have to do something about this or we might lose mate’

‘Just shut up and let it go Leto.’

I felt kinda sad thinking about it. But I guess this is perfect for everyone.

“Hey, baby! Want to hit the locker room before going to class?” Ellie seductively whispered.

“Not now. Ellie, we’re in school for goodness sake.” I told her off. And walked out. Eric then followed me.

“What’s wrong Luka? You’ve been acting really strange lately.” Eric asked.

“It’s nothing. I’m feeling alright.” I answered as I went to my locker to get my stuff. I was looking at Bellamy who was walking by.

“Is it about Cross? Man this chick messing with you?” Eric asked noticing how my eyes unconsciously followed her.

“No man. Why would I get bothered by her? Just mind your own business and get to class. And leave Cross out of your antiques if you don’t want to test my patience.” I annoyingly replied, before slamming my door and walking out.

“Ellie loves you, bro. And she feels how much you’ve changed towards her. Better treat her well or I swear—-“

“Or what?” I turned to face him and saw intimidation in his eyes. He was getting on my nerves big time. “She’s gonna turn 18 in a few months. She’ll replace a mate and get over me soon enough.” Without saying another word, I then walked to class.

Back then I and my friends would cut classes to drink or smoke in the back building.

After a few classes, I went to my car in the parking lot. Ellie was following me like a lost puppy.

“I was thinking we can hang out at your place.” Ellie asked.

“My mom already hates you. She said I’d sleep on the porch if you step inside our house one more time” It was true. Ellie could be really annoying and vulgar even in front of my parents. Even though she’s the Beta’s daughter my mom has never liked her the way she loves and adores Bellamy.

“What?” Ellie was about to cry and I quickly regretted my words. “Listen I’m sorry. We can hang out at your place if you want.” She smiled and hugged me. I hugged and kissed her back.

But just I was cooing my girlfriend I noticed a familiar guy standing near Bellamy’s car.

Is that Collin Storm?

What is he doing here? And why is Bellamy hugging him?

‘Someone is touching mate’ Leto was angry as we watch Collin holding onto Bellamy’s waist.

‘I know!’ I angrily told him.

‘What are you going to do about it? Let’s slash him into two! That’ll teach him.’ Leto was ready to pounce at Collin anytime.

“Yow who’s that dude” Trey asked.

“That’s my cousin.” I said as I watch them enter Bellamy’s car.

‘Is this why I haven’t felt the mate bond. Bellamy’s been betraying me!’ I said to myself.

‘You brought that to yourself. You betrayed her first’ Leto annoyingly teased.

He was right. My actions were unreasonable. Everything I’m feeling right now was all because of me. But being me I could never blame myself. It was just how I am.
