Waited For The Luna
Chapter 35

“Leave, Cross alone.”

“What you have sort of crush on her now is that it?” I didn’t answer but only looked up to him. Eric’s face got serious instantly.

“Seriously?” He said.

“I found her first,” I answered.

“You’re gonna have to back off Luka, cause I’m not giving up on her. Just do this for me brother. Just this once.” Growing up Eric has always been a brother to me. As alpha people mostly favored me instead of him and he never once complained. He would always put me first and protected me at all times. If it was some regular girl I would’ve given her up easily. But this is Bellamy the girl I waited for, for 8 long years.

“I’m afraid I can’t.”

“You can and you will. I hate to bring it up but my sister turned into a rogue because of you. This is the least you can do.” After that, he left.

We’ve never seen Ellie for almost 6 years after she ran away. Dad was going to detain her after she threw a fit and threatened the pack. She even slashed her own mother’s hand. I know I was partly to blame but never did Eric brought that up until now. I sometimes feel guilty but she did that to herself. She knows how serious a mate bond is, but she couldn’t accept that I wasn’t going to make her Luna.

Bellamy has always been in my heart. I’ve been in love with her since I was young. When I found out she was my mate, it felt euphoric. I hated that I loved how I felt back then because I was young and rebellious and she didn’t deserve that. When I rejected her I felt like my heart was burning. My back was being stabbed by a million needles.

Bellamy stayed in the pack for the following days. I wasn’t able to see her every day, but every night I climb up to check her in her room. She looks so frail like if I touch her she will break.

‘I’m gonna make it work baby. You’ll be safe soon.’

I honestly have no idea when these rogues would attack. But they will have to go through me before they could touch my Bellamy.

BELLAMY’S POV

“Okay, Beta you’re all good now,” I said after removing Eric’s stitches. “It is gonna scar a little so I would recommend you this cream for the scars,” I added, handing him the tiny bottle of healing cream.

“Dr. Cross. I’d like to take you out on a date.” He randomly asked. Well not asked he was so sure I would agree to it.

“And if I say no?” I said totally ignoring him as I scan through my clipboard.

“If you say no, you’d miss out on one of the coolest nights of your life.” He looked at me with his persistent black eyes.

“Come on, just one night, if you think I’m boring I’m never gonna bug you again. ” I thought about it well. Luka would probably get angry. But who cares he hasn’t even visited me since he got back. Plus this is my only chance of turning down Eric before he annoys me more.

“Okay, one night. No pranks, No games. And we go out as friends only. I decide if there would be another one. My shift ends in 3 hours.” I then left to attend to other patients.

Eric picked me up after my shift. We got into his car and he drove deep into the woods. We got out and walked to the old campsite we used to go to in middle school.

“Surprise!” He announced.

The site was adorned with lights and candles all over, on the center was a teepee he said he built, inside were a bunch of pillows and a blanket. There was a white cloth and a projector. Eric then built a fire and made my seat on a camp chair beside him. He prepared a lot of snacks.

This was the most romantic thing someone ever did to me.

“Well, the vampire movie didn’t work So I chose some horror film you good with that?” I nodded in response.

I didn’t focus much on the movie. And dove deep into my thoughts. Unlike Luka, Eric and I are not bound together. His actions tonight came out of his sincerity. But if I ever entertain him more and invest in this relationship, his friendship with Luka would be tainted and I don’t want that to happen.

I’m also deeply in love with Luka, no matter how many times I tried to push him away, even if the mate bond has been severed. I think he’s the only one I could ever love.

After the movie, Eric brought a guitar and serenaded me.

“I never knew you know how to play.”

“It’s a secret talent. “

I was honestly enjoying the night with him. We talked about random stuff for a few hours before finally deciding to go home. When we got to my dad’s house he walked me to the door.

“I hope there will be a next time.” He said looking at me with his irresistible and pitiful eyes.

“I enjoyed tonight Eric, but—” Before I could finish he pulled me by the waist and kissed me. And I let him. His k**s was passionate but I didn’t feel anything. When Luka k****s me it’s like a breath of fresh air, the joy in winters and the warmth of the sun.

“We shouldn’t have done that Eric. I’m sorry.”

“Why?”

“I’m in love with my mate Eric. I’ve always been, there’s only going to be him. ” I said as I pulled away from his embrace.

“He rejected you. You almost died because of him Bellamy. Whoever that bastard is doesn’t deserve you..”

“Eric you can’t. You shouldn’t. You promise me I get to decide. I don’t want another date, I can’t give you the relationship you want.”

“Say the name and I’ll challenge him. I’ll be the man for you, Bellamy.”

Suddenly a third presence was felt.

“You wouldn’t do such a thing, Eric. ” Luka said coldly. If looks could kill, we would’ve been dead already.
