Black Luna

Chapter 22 Lies

"A-anna?"

I looked at the little boy holding my hand.

"Arthur, manners!" The mother came forward.

"So sorry Luna." She bowed and went to the crowd.

I wiped my tears away quickly.

"W-where's the alpha. I need to speak with him."

Everyone stood up and pointed the direction of the office.

I nodded and left.

After they just gave that heartwarming welcome, I doubt I could leave again.

*knock knock*

"What." He replied.

I opened the door.

"No one barges in without me saying so!" He yelled.

I stood my ground.

"Mate." I said.

"Annabel? I- how- who- what?" He stuttered.

I took a deep breath.

"Look, I know you're mad at me and you want me gone-"

"What Anna-"

"Let me finish. I know you despise me right now but I-"

"Stop."

"But I need to come back because-"

"Stop please."

"You are-"

"Stop!"

What?

The world suddenly became blurry as I was embraced in his arms in a sudden.

"Just shut the hell up and tell me you miss me." He said.

What? What is happening?

"Mate?"

"Please."

"I don't under-"

"Please."

"I can't-"

"I'm begging you."

"I...miss...you..." I tried saying. And his embrace got tighter.

"I love you so much. And I'm so so sorry." He sighed.

I was confused. How could he. He was all evil and grouchy on me the other time and now he's acting like he missed me. Wtf?

"Stop. I need to.." I pushed him away.

"Annabel?"

"Don't "Annabel" me. I month ago you actually attacked me and called me a bitch and suddenly now you are acting like you missed me. What is wrong with you?!" I suddenly lashed out.

"A bitch? I never said any of that."

"Don't try to deny. 1 month ago, back in New York City(where Annabel carried her mission before getting "caught" by Hayden and Diana.), you chased me and pinned me down. You had a devil looks in your eyes."

"When?"

"Once Diana and Dylan met!"

"But I- "

"Why can't you just admit?! If you did I would have for- "

"Mate, I really didn't do anything. I swear."

"Ugh!!!"

I ran out of the door and went to the field outside the pack house.

I can't believe him. I just can't.

He dares to deny?

He dares to fucking deny?!

"Wait! Mate! Please!" I heard mate calling out to me.

So I stopped.

"What do you want."

He said nothing.

"What could you possibly want!" I shouted at him.

"I swear. I didn't do anything. Yes, that day, at NYC, I chased after you. But I lost sight of you once you ran to the forest."

"Then? Then what happened?" I asked in disbelief.

"Then..I went back to the others. By the time I got back, Dylan said you have left."

I clenched my fist.

Lies. They're all lies.

"You're lying. You're lying." I laughed.

"I'm not. I'm really not."

"You actually pinned me down. And you had those...unfamiliar eyes. You called me a sly cat and bitch!" I said.

"What?" He clenched his fist.

"Who did. Who did?! I'm gonna fucking murder him." He said.

"How could you even play hero right now." I laughed.

"What can I do to make you believe me."

"Nothing. I was just foolish to think I could trust you again."

"What does any of this have to with trust?!"

I shook my head. He would never understand.

"You would never understand."

He slapped his hand on his forehead.

"How stubborn can you be." He grumbled.

"Mate, the only reason I came back is because I-"

Wait. Why am I even telling him.

"Because you...?"

"No reason. I just thought the pack would need it's Luna. I know you've been having a hard time."

"No shit."

Then it was silence again. Neither of us knew how to continue the conversation.

"You wanna go back now?"

"You go ahead. I'll catch up."

"Do whatever you want." He snapped.

After he left, I folded my arms.

Things to do/Rules set:

1. Always stay out of mate's way. Only act lovey dovey when necessary.

2. Find out who killed Jordan aka no. 1 enemy.

3. Never tell mate why I'm here.

4. Sacrifice myself if mate is...hurt.
