Chapter 21 confession
It had been almost 3 months since the incident occurred and Luna had managed to avoid both luca and
Soccorah. Her uncle was still obsessed with tracking down the witch that killed his brother and sister-in-
law. Luna was mad about that, but she did not feel as badly about it as Lucian did. She was a teenager
now and was going through so many more changes than the human teenager. She not only had to
worry about dating and boyfriends but also about training and keeping her new world a secret.
She did miss her parents but started to understand a bit why Luca had reacted the way that he did
toward her. She started to think that maybe she’d been too hard on them. She acted out of hurt. She
thought of Soccorah as a friend and her trying to stun her brought back all the old memories of Hailey’s
deception and treachery. It had wounded her so much that she couldn’t bring herself to look at them. In
spite of her secret feelings for Luca she refused to let him get near her.
She walked into the Lunchroom and sat at her usual spot in the corner. She liked to sit and listen to the
whispers of the persons at the school. She had been making use of her newfound abilities and had
actually thought of her life without them as boring. She was very happy about the person she had
become. She now had a family and packmates who looked to her for advice and approval. As the alpha
pack had given responsibilities to her uncle, she now had to assist with some of those. She trained with
the pack’s females and had found them to be no match for her. She was stronger, faster, smarter and
her other abilities had started to manifest.
She suddenly became alert when she smelled Soccorah. Within seconds she entered the lunch room
and saw Luna seated in the corner. There was an empty table next to her so she grabbed her lunch
and went to seat on the table next to her. Soccorah didn’t say a word to Luna. The wo sat at different
tables alone in the deafening silence that engulfed them in spite of the noisy cafeteria. Lunch was over
and So Luna got up to leave. Just then Soccorah got up and stood in front of her.
“Hey!” she said to Luna afraid that Luna was going to embarrass her yet again. “Yes? What do you
want?” Luna replied. Soccorah was surprised at how civil she was as the last time she had attempted
to talk to her she had been so bitter she hadn’t even given her the time of day. “I really wanted to talk to
you to explain what happened that night. It has been three months and You were my best friend. I
really need to explain and apologize.” She said. “Well then find me after school then. I have a thing
right now.” With that Luna flicked her beautiful white hair over her shoulder and walked out of the lunch
room.
Soccorah immediately called Luca and had him meet her under the Oak tree after their class. The two Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
waited there nervously for Luna and when she finally arrived during the last class of the day which
apparently was her free period Soccorah called out to her and motioned for her to come over. Luna
came over looked at the two of them and lay down her back pack and sat under the shade of the oak
tree and waited as she was very interested in hearing an explanation to the events of that night.
“Well now you finally decide that you owe me an apology. I mean I really want to understand why
someone whom I thought to be my friend, my only friend would try to hurt me and do it by dragging me
to your house to do it. I am listening but let me just tell you that the person whom you tried to hurt that
night is long gone and it would be a mistake to attempt such tricks on me right now.” Luna warned.
Soccorah began. “Ever since the first day that I saw you in class I knew that you were different. Not the
normal different but very different. Then I started to notice little things like your strength, speed. Your
hair and eyes were something strange as your eyes change color every once in a while. I’m not even
sure that you realize. I knew that you were different and I wanted so badly to ask you about it but you
never gave me a hint. I figured that I would invite you to our house to see if my mom or Luca could pick
up on your character or kind but when they didn’t my mom agreed that we would use a spell. I know
now that we were wrong and I am so sorry about the way that we went about things. We I mean I
should have asked you right away.
“Hmmm, Luca? What was your place in this whole thing? I saw you go into the Kitchen and you never
came out but in your place was a huge wolf who tried to attack me. Soccorah Your eyes were pink and
I know that you were not wearing contacts when you were seated at the table next to me. What are you
people?
“Please, just be honest. I never tried to attack you. I was angry at Soccorah for what they had done.
You ran out before we could explain. I was spelled. I drank a potion meant for you. The potion is
harmless. Soccorah and her mom would never hurt anyone unless I ask them too and I did not. They
acted recklessly and you were hurt in the process and for this we are truly sorry.”
“What pack do you belong too?” she asked Luca with a smile. “He opened his eyes in bewilderment.
“So you know about us then. But how? What are you?” Luna smiled back at him and stretched out her
hand toward him. He grabbed hold of her as he helped her up. “You have apologized and I accept your
apology.” This is what you get for now. Your secret is safe with me. “I’m just like you. Why do you think
that you couldn’t catch me? And you never will” she smiled warmly at Luca as she let go of his hand. I’ll
see you around and by the way you guys owe me dinner. With that she left them and made her way
home.
