Lunar 30

Chapter 30 Dalia’s POV
My sweet brother has had to deal with so much over the last few years. I
will do anything to make his life easier. He has taken such good care of me
since our parents died in a rogue attack five years ago. I was only thirteen
and he had just turned eighteen. He has loved me and raised me with
kindness and understanding. He is a kind and generous Alpha. Papa would
have been so proud of him. He had waited patiently for his fated mate.
Never once going with another girl. He wanted to be respectful of their
bond and she knew that no other woman had ever had his heart but her. He
did not want to hurt anyone if they formed a bond and then he found his
mate.
My Nathan is so handsome and good looking. He does not know just how
good looking he is. With those high cheek bones and full manly lips. He
keeps his mahogany brown hair shoulder length that pulls back with a piece
a leather. The man is six foot seven inches and all muscles. He looks just
like our father, and he always says I look just like our mama. Tall, thin, and
blonde. The one thing we do share is our grey eyes. We have light grey
eyes; they are so light that they almost look silver.
My big brother has finally found his fated mate and she took her life. The
poor girl, what she must have lived through. Seeing all the scars and
injuries in different stages of healing. It is obvious that someone cared for
her and tried to help her heal. She is so tiny though, especially for a wolf.
How she has survived the story her body tells is amazing. I really hope she
wakes up and lets us show her what it is like to be loved and adored. My
brother is the one to do it. I remember him watching mama and papa
together like he was memorizing everything papa did to make mama happy.
He would tell me over and over I want what they have some day.
I want my brother to have it. He deserves it so much. Now look his mate
has a whole pack of people who feel for her, the way our pack feels about
Nathan. The goddess put them together for a reason I know she did. It
cannot be her plan to let Nathan find his mate and then take her back.
When I was helping to bath and change her, I couldn’t stand seeing all of
the scars. She had scars in her private areas as someone had cut her with a
knife there. I didn’t realize that I was crying until a tear landed on her
stomach. I could have sworn I heard a voice in my head say, “Don’t cry for
me. I can’t feel the pain anymore.” Then it was gone.
I know I am not crazy because even my wolf, Elixa, sat up and pricked her
ears forwards. Wagging her tail she said, “Beauty, am I crazy or did a
stranger just link us?” I love El, she has always been there for me,
especially those times I needed a female, and I just couldn’t talk to Nathan.
If I told him, I thought I heard a stranger linking me in my head, he would
swear I was crazy and have the doctor come check me out. I don’t get upset
about it though. I understand I am all the family he has now.
I smiled while I was gathering the food my brother asked for, “No El, no
crazies here. I heard it too. I think it was our new Luna. Can you
communicate with her wolf?”
“No, her wolf is as devastated and hurt as she is. They have suffered
through a lot of pain.” El whispered back to me. “Beauty, I don’t know if
they are going to make it back to be our new Luna.”
I started crying again and asked the goddess to please not do this to my
sweet brother. Please don’t take another from him. He deserves happiness,
love, and children just as much as anyone else. He is a good man. He
follows the goddess’ way for our kind. He is just and always investigating
before making accusations. He defends the weak and honors the old. He is
not perfect, and he has made mistakes, but he owns them. He can be a pain
in the ass, but it is because he cares and loves with all his heart. If you give
this young woman to him, he will love and protect her with his entire being
until the day he dies. He has done the same for Kane since you sent him to
us. He never questioned your plan, just did as you asked of him. Please,
Selene let his mate wake up and love him right back. He can help her pack
too. He can help them figure out what they want to do. Just please give him
the chance to do it.
As I finished grabbing the rest of the sandwiches, fruit, and drinks, I put
them together for them over at the hospital. I looked out the window and
saw a white owl sitting in the tree. How odd it is daylight still.
Walking out the door, carrying my basket of goodies, “Hello there Mr. owl.
Do you know it is not night yet?” I giggled to myself and skipped towards
the hospital. As I walked through the front door, I smelled the most
exquisite aroma of campfire and apples. Taking a deep breath, I feel all
warm and tingly. I must find where that smell is coming from. It is making
me feel heated and goose bumps are popping up all over my skin. I follow
the scent and it was coming from the hospital room our Luna is in. When I
left, no one was in there but Nathan. Did someone else join him?
Yep, it is definitely coming from that room. I stood for a moment just
breathing it in. It is my new favorite scent and I want it wrapped around me
all the time. I pushed the door open a little too hard and it flew open, almost
hitting Chipper in the face. I heard someone say, “Don’t you dare hurt
mate.”
Chipper stops abruptly and stands motionless. He knows any movement
towards me may end him, so he just freezes. He wasn’t fast enough though
and I walked into the room. There was a strange man holding onto Chipper
by his collar. The man is the one that smells like campfire and apples. He
turns to me, and I throw the basket of food at my brother while I yell,
“MATE!”
Chipper laughs, walking out the door, “Didn’t see that coming.”
Another voice growl whispers, “Me either.
