Chapter 23: chapter 23 Controlling My Feelings

The Lycan's Soul MateWords: 5944

It was Saturday and Luna got up at the crack of dawn. She went for a

run to calm her and showered for what seemed to be an hour. She

picked out her outfit which were a pair of short jeans and a crop top.

She wore a cardigan over it and accessorized with her fashion necklaces

and bracelets. He put her hair in a bun and wore some cherry flavored

lip gloss. She packed some lunch with extras as she didn't know how

long they would be neither did she know what they would be doing. It

was a little past nine when the pickup arrived.

Luca couldn't help but scrutinize her as she walked over to the truck.

She was so beautiful. Like out of this world beautiful. Her lips were

moist and inviting. Her breasts were so perfectly perky like twin

mountains on a beautiful landscape. He waist was so tiny and her

stomach so flat, so perfect. Her hips were wide and her ass was; well in

short, her trunk was not empty. As Luna got into the vehicle, she put

the basket with the food in the back and hopped into the back seat and

waved goodbye to her uncle.

Soccorah was seated in the passenger seat and Luca was at the wheel.

He didn't look back as Luna sat in the back and turned on the ignition

and set off for the creek. Every now and then he would sneak a pick at

her in the rearview mirror. He didn't know that it would be so difficult

to be this close to her. It would take all of his restraint to keep his

emotions to himself. He sat thinking what he'd gotten himself into.

This girl was so perfect. It was as if she was made just for him. One way

or another he would make her his but he just needed to hold on a little

longer. Last thing he wanted to do was scare her off. She hadn't even

told them that she was a wolf. He could sense it on her now but she

needed to come out and say it. She needed to trust them first. Today

was supposed to be the day that they would leave all secrets behind.

They needed to come clean with each other. The creek was the perfect

place for that. It was quiet, secluded. No one went up there. People

preferred to use the tracks on the other side of the mountain to hike

and camp. This side of the mountain was practically deserted and so

beautiful especially at night during the full moon.

“What are you smiling about?” Soccorah asked luca startling him. He'd

been so lost in thought that he had not realized that he'd opened

himself up this much. “Just listening to u two babble.” He said hoping

that his response would satisfy Soccorah who had definitely picked up

on his interest in Luna. He was so worried about what she'd think of

him. Luca was not used to rejection and Luna had already rejected him

once without her even knowing it he could not risk it happening again.

They cam to the end of the road and grabbed their gear. “To get to the

creek we have to hike a long way up this mountain then half way down.

We should have asked you to wear long jeans. This particular path is a

bit difficult but it is worth the trouble I promise.” Luca said looking at

Luna. She was however unmoved. They started the hike and after Luna

realized that they were wasting time on the hike suggested something

surprising. “Luc a I know that you can run fast and transform. Soccorah,

I know that you are have magic. So, if you are taking this route because

of me please stop it. It is ridiculous. If not, I will meet you guys at the

creek.

With that, Luna ran into the forest and disappeared. Luca and Soccorah

dashed off after her jumping through the trees at super human speed.

“Luna, wait up it could be dangerous!” Soccorah shouted but got no

response from her. Luca could not even catch her scent. This surprised

him. He was the fastest Lycan apart for his father and no one had ever

been able to compare to their power but Luna was apparently faster

than him; Possibly faster than his father.

Within five minutes Luca arrived and found Luna seated on the bank of

the creek and had already laid out the food she'd brought on a large

cloth on an old table under the large oak tree near the creek. He was

astonished. “Slow poke” she said as she heard him approach. She stood

up from where she sat and as she stood up to look at him their eyes

met and she felt a current run through her. It was as if every cell in her

body was on fire. The two just stood looking at each other in silence.

He could not take his eyes away and neither could she.

Soccorah arrived about three minutes after Luca and she broke the

awkward silence between them saying “Luna, how is it that you didn't

even break a sweat? What the hell are You?” Luca looked at Soccorah

surprised at her statement. Luna replied, “well I know that Luca is a

wolf, the biggest I've ever seen and you have some magic so I knew

that I didn't have to hide from you guys. Luca you can relax. This is one

of the reasons I forgave you. Uncle Lucian explained that you were just

trying to keep your secret a secret.”

With that the three relaxed and spent the day conversing and talking

about school and the burdens of keeping the secret. Luca kept

scrutinizing Luna when she was not watching and Luna did the same.

They stayed a safe distance from each other as both were secretly

afraid of what would happen if they got too close to each other. Luca

had to choose a mate but there was to be a ceremony. He was after all

the Lycan prince and his mate would have to possess royal blood.

Luca came out of the water and took off his shirt to wring it and Luna

couldn't help but stare at his hard perfectly built stomach with his well-

defined abs. Soccorah was also staring. “Luca put that shirt back on You

are in the presence of innocence. Soccorah shouted at him. “Luca

laughed uncontrollably “Soccorah the hell are you talking about. I hope

you're not referring to yourself’ He laughed long and hard while

gathering his stuff. They all left the creek as it was already late.

It was a great day one that neither of them would forget.
