Waited For The Luna
Chapter 36

LUKA’S POV

“So it’s you! You broke my sister’s heart for her.” Eric said staring angrily as he strode towards me.

“Stop! What are you doing?” Bellamy tried to pull him back, but her body couldn’t handle him

“You have the guts to come here when you practically murdered Bellamy.” He said pulling her by her elbows and shielding her with his back. He dared touch to pull her like that.

“What goes on between the two of us is none of your business. I’ll forgive what you did today, don’t make me ruin our friendship.” I didn’t want to fight with Eric, but I’m not giving her up.

Eric spat on the ground. I didn’t know he wanted Bellamy this much.

“Just go home both of you!” Bellamy cried pushing the both of us away.

Suddenly a car parked in front of the house.

“What the hell is going on here?” It was Noah with Abigail. He took Bellamy into his arms and tried comforting her. It was just like when we were younger. We’d pick on Bellamy and Noah who was older would defend her from us. Bellamy was crying on his shoulders.

“Leave my sister alone. And you!” He pointed at me. “You’ve done enough trouble already. I don’t care if your alpha. You’ll have to kill me before you get to my sister. “

“I’m not leaving till Bellamy says so. ” I said. Bellamy looked at me and stayed quiet. She seemed stressed with the whole situation. So I decided to leave and let her rest.

I wandered around the neighborhood waiting for midnight. I then went back to her house and peeked through her window. She was sleeping soundly. I then opened the window to see her up close. She looks tired and little.

I wanted to hold her so bad and make her feel safe. Contemplating if I should, I went to do it otherwise. I caressed her hair slowly then cupped her cheeks gently trying not to wake her. All of a sudden she woke up and jump up in shock. She then gave me a discriminating look, but ignored me and went back to bed with her back facing me and the blanket over her head.

I was caught like a creep and I blushed in embarrassment, so I decided to leave.

“Don’t forget to close the windows when you go. I got a cold last night.” She said.

So she knows I’ve been watching her. Well, that makes it worst. I now look like a psychotic creep who preys on beautiful girls.

I was stunned and froze in my spot. I didn’t know what to do. She then checked if I was still in there and lifted her blanket to face me. “You’re creepy. Just let me sleep.” She said before lifting the blanket over her head.

“You kissed Eric,” I said in a humble town.

“Is that why you almost killed him the other day?”

“Yes. Somehow.” I told her.

“He wants to mark me since we’re both mateless,” She replied.

“You’re mateless? What do you think of me? A ghost.” I said as I sat down on the chair next to me.

She lifted the sheets and sat up angrily.“Yes. You’re just a creepy ghost who stares at me in my sleep.”

“My best friend kissed you, and you let him.” Thinking about it, was she accepting him tonight.

“I was curious. When I k**s you I taste the ocean on my lips, I feel the warmth on my skin. When I k**s him it felt like nothing.” My ears fluttered hearing that. My heart swelled and I felt happy.

“So are you not leaving yet.” She said looking at me with her glistening almond eyes.

“You always make me leave. Don’t you understand that that’s the last thing I would want to do? I rejected you but I still want you. Doesn’t that prove anything?” She sat down lying her back on the headboard.

“That was the worst pain I ever felt. I was even in a coma for 2 weeks. I literally thought I was going to die.” She said while playing with her nails as if she was complaining like a little child who got hurt.

“I’m sorry. I only did that because you were in a manic state. If I stayed one more minute you’d probably have hurt yourself.” I said as I cupped her cheeks.

“My rationality told me that if you reject me I would be able to protect the people around me. I thought of staying away from packs and maybe settle down somewhere and choose the man I would love. But that’s not the case. I’m a werewolf. I loved the better half of my soul. I’m loyal to only one for the rest of my life and should promise to keep him safe and give him strength.” I was deeply immersed in her right now. She breathed and held both my hands before saying.

“The past 8 years were hard because I wasn’t with you. I couldn’t stop thinking about you every day. Nights when I couldn’t sleep or eat. I just knew for a fact I needed you. It was annoying because I couldn’t do anything. I have been with other men….” I flinched when she said the last part. “Are you angry? Do you think I’m a whore?” She got conscious and guilty but it doesn’t matter, they were from her past. “It’s okay Bellamy. These men are from your past. I just wished I was there with you earlier. “

“But I only want to be with you. Luka I don’t want you to ever reject me again. Never reject or leave me again.” She cried and held my collar as she hugged me tightly.

“I would never do that again, baby. ” I whispered before kissing her forehead.

“I don’t ever want to be away from you.” She then sighed deeply before finally saying “I, Bellamy Cross, accept Luka White as my mate. I promise to love you and protect you with all my life. I won’t let anything or anyone hurt you.” She said with full sincerity. “I, Luka White, accept you Dr. Bellamy Cross as my mate.”

“I won’t mark you tonight. Not until you’re in the pink.” She nodded.

Her body was still frail, she was almost skin and bones so I decided not to mark her that night. When she fell asleep I couldn’t stop myself from watching her peaceful face. Her hands wrapped around my body and her head laid on my arms.

“I love you, Bellamy” I whispered before kissing her forehead.
