The Luna Cure

FOUR

Finn was talking, but I was staring out the darkened windows.

That girl could not get out of my mind. Even though it was her sister that I was mated to, that Florence would not stop popping into my mind.

I had barely noticed her before she ran into Finn, but she looked so... hurt. Hurt couldn't even describe the amount of pain she seemed to be in, and I knew some part of me wanted to help her.

But why?

Her sister was my mate. Maybe my wolf was so protective of my mate that he's protective of her family as well.

I didn't know. I had no clue, but I still couldn't get that damn girl out of my mind!

Florence intrigued me. Maybe that was it. She was mute, and she was beautiful, in such an understated way. She was also very nervous. When she bumped into Finn, she practically jumped out of her own skin.

I groaned, thumping my head against the window. I felt like such a shit guy, thinking about my mates sister instead of my mate. My goddess, I was horrible.

"What's up, Dante?" Finn glanced up from his phone, raising an eyebrow at my head thumping.

"I feel like a shit mate and I've only had a mate for about forty minutes."

Finn laughed, turning off his phone and pocketing it.

"What did you do now?"

I groaned. That's the thing. I haven't done anything.

But my wandering mind has thought it. Specifically, those plump lips.

My goddess, what was wrong with me?

"I'm mated to Cassidy. But Florence won't leave my mind. I don't know. And I feel really weird about this situation. I have like, a gut feeling, that I'm missing something here. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do."

Finn was silent for a moment, realizing I was serious.

"I mean, Florence is hot. I'll give you that. And so is Cassidy, but in a different way. Florence is like, innocent and shy. But the poor girl was in an accident. I have no clue what happened there, but I saw Florence get mad when her sister said that, too." He shrugged.

"It's up to you to dig. Cassidy seemed pretty upset talking about it, but so did Florence. Honestly man, I couldn't tell you what to do. Because if Florence really is mentally messed up, then she might not be a valid source. But if Cassidy is lying, then something more is happening. So I'm hoping Florence is lying."

I thought for a moment. He was completely right. And I knew I had to trust Cassidy on this. I wasn't going to start whatever we would end up being as untrusting.

But Florence...

I cursed my wolf. He always made me have second thoughts, always made me rethink my decisions, always disagreed. But unfortunately, he was right sometimes.

And you don't know if you want me to be right this time, either.

I groaned, thumping my head against the window. My damn wolf.

Finn laughed, taking out his phone again, and leaving me to my thoughts.

Which just so happened to be revolved around a certain brunette.

I gaped up at the castle that we finally arrived at. It was immense, regal, and every bit an architectural masterpiece. So much detail was put into everything that it was hard to figure out what to focus on.
