Luna On The Run!

Still Clarita’s POINT OF VIEW

Still in the bliss of my babies, I step out of the doctor’s office.

A big smile is on my face, the misery of an hour ago is gone. All I can think about now is my future with my twins. Never alone again and always loved. That’s how I always imagined my life. Of course, I would have loved to have had a loving husband with me and a father for my children, but I have no intention of mourning this void any longer.

Serene says goodbye to Dr. Erena while I walk with my head in the clouds, oblivious to my surroundings. As I rounded the corner, I bumped into a woman. She grabbed my arms to stop me from falling to the floor.

When I raised my head to apologize with a smile, I recognized her instantly.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Amelia! The girlfriend of Mase, the captain of Zane’s yacht. Or should I say his mate? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of this woman; she certainly doesn’t bring back good memories. I have no idea if she knew that Zane had been cheating on me the whole time we were on the yacht.

“Clarita!” she exclaims as soon as she remembers me.

“Girl, where have you been all this time? You disappeared all of a sudden, Mase couldn’t tell me where you went either”.

I look at her hesitantly, not quite sure what to say. I still know too little about Amelia, she and Mase were nowhere to be seen during the whole drama.

“And you’re pregnant! I can tell it’s Zane’s pup. Does he know yet? He hasn’t said a word about this,” she chatters on. When I hear the cheater’s name, my face tightens. I don’t want to hear his name around me anymore, so I know that Amelia will not be one of my regular friends. I need to end this conversation soon so I don’t have to be reminded of the man again.

“Nice to see you again, Amelia,” I reply vaguely, trying to walk around her. But she has no intention of letting me go and grabs my arm. I let out a deep sigh and looked back at her. She had obviously missed the hint.

“Clarita, I know what happened. I’m sorry that things turned out the way they did between you and Zane, but I can assure you that he’s sorry. And misses you very much.” I roll my eyes and try to pull my arm out of her grip.

“That must be hard for him. But I’ve moved on with my life. So he can go find his next girlfriend as long as he stays away from me.” I remove all emotion from my voice, knowing that she will tell Zane and Mase. Zane needs to know that I have burnt all my bridges behind me and I am starting a new life.

“But you can’t, Clarita. The pup you are carrying is the next in line to lead the pack. Zane will have to bring him back or the pack will come for him. You have to come back.”

“I’m human, Amelia, don’t forget that. Zane will find a woman of his kind and then he can make so many successors. My child and I will stay here. We have nothing to do with the werewolf pack,” I insist. “I will never go with that bastard.” I try to get past her again, but she moves in front of me to cut me off.

“She saw the social media posts. And that upset her even more”. Serene joins us and looks apologetically at the woman in front of me. “It doesn’t get any easier for Zane”.

“Oohh, but Ariel explained everything. And the comments have changed, everyone blames Zane now. They too, think the Alpha screwed up and should make up with Clarita. Some even want him to crawl to her.” Amelia scoffs. But thankfully she has let go of me now.

“Come, let me show you Ariel’s comments. She feels bad that things have turned out this way. She was looking forward to having you around now that she is expecting her first pups. You are her best friend and she made it clear to everyone that her mating with Zane was doomed from the start.”

Blood rushes to my head, embarrassed I dare not look at the woman again. I shift uncomfortably, not sure if I can see the reactions of the friend I betrayed. Maybe all this is normal for werewolves, but for me, it is super embarrassing.

“Come on, let’s sit in Erena’s room and use her laptop. You can read it all yourself. Ariel misses you, Clarita. She writes about you on her wall almost every day.”

We go back to the doctor’s office, which is fortunately empty. Amelia sits down at the desk and opens the laptop. I noticed that she knew the password and looked up in surprise.

“Hey, can you just do that? There must be confidential information on there. The doctor wouldn’t approve,” I argue. But Amelia smiles.

“Erena is my cousin. We are both from Crescent Moon, my father’s pack. Of course, I belong to Midnight Moon now. Her fingers drift to work and then she beckons me to come closer.

My heart pounds at the thought of what I am about to read.

Amelia logs into her account and within seconds we are on Ariel’s wall.

‘Luna Ariel Vasconcellos of Eclipse Howl’ stands there, proud and emphatic. A statement that cuts through all other reservations. I smile, knowing that Gorgio is also crazy about her and that she has every right to claim him openly.

All the photos she has posted show her with her man. In his office, in their living room, at training. She shows her mate in the gym, leaning on his naked, muscular chest with an adorable expression on her face, while Gorgio looks at her in love.

And then I saw the picture of her naked, round belly. She is wearing a long velvet jacket, open at the front, showing her belly. Beautiful. In another, Gorgio is standing behind her, kissing her on the head. All great shots of a couple in love, eagerly awaiting their pups.

Wait, do I read pups? Plural?

“Hey, is it known if Ariel is having more than one baby? I see pups mentioned everywhere, that’s more than one”.

“Maybe you can ask her yourself at your next talk? Ariel can’t wait to meet you. Look, she wrote it here herself”.

My eyes flicked over a couple of posts where Ariel actually explained that I was not to blame for what had happened. “Clarita, if you are reading this or someone tells you about this post, come back soon. Come to Eclipse Howl, your forever home. I miss you terribly, girlfriend, every day I pray to the Moon Goddess to bring you back. Know that I love you and am waiting for you.” …
