Rip:
I had the greatest sleep ever. It's finally happening. The Luna will be awakened. Mikhail will finally stop making a big deal about everything that comes with Ezra being human. The world will be in order again. Now, all I have to do is tell on those rogues so they can all be killed. Once Riley is found, she can take her pack and start rebuilding the tip of the star.
As it turns out. I'm not a demon wolf. Those don't even exist. I'm a shadow wolf. My mom explained that Mikhail and I are the balance of one another like she was with Miranda. I am the light with the shadow of darkness in me which is why I can manipulate things the way I can and use the shadows. Mikhail is the darkness or as we all know, the alpha with the light inside, or as I like to call it, the weenie part of him that makes him soft.
"Are you ready?" I asked Ezra sitting next to her.
"Am I going to be in pain in here for two days?" she asked scooting closer to me.
"No. By pain I meant mental. It's nothing you can't deal with. The changes physically they come, but the mental one it's up to you. How you accept it and how you will move forward with it,"
"Accept it?" she asked.
"The anger. The pain. It's what holds your wolf. You have to forgive yourself for everything your dad did. Everything wrong that's ever happened. Your mom, your dad, Lina. You have to let all of that go. None of that was ever your fault. Remember, you taught me to move on with what's inside of me," I looked over at her, she nodded. "Come here,"
Ezra looked up at me. She's a little afraid now. I pulled her into me wrapping my arms her waist and put her on her feet. I pulled the blankets off the bed and tossed them on the floor so she wouldn't get caught on them later. She climbed back in the bed and sat back against the pillows. I climbed onto the bed kneeling in front of her. I pulled to me by her legs and took her arm in my hand. She didn't take her eyes off of me as I bit down on her arm. She cried out in pain. I pressed my hand to her mouth to spare Mikhail. She thrashed around before she finally gave in to it.
The bite took. It slowly started to stitch itself together when I pulled away from her. Once the blood stopped and it became nothing more than the mark of her maker, I stood up and walked out of the room. The rest is completely up to her.
Mikhail's eyes are worried. My mother took over after reassuring us Ezra would be fine and ready when we got back. The taste of her stayed in my mouth. No matter how many times I brushed my teeth or how many pieces of mint gum I shoved in my mouth. The taste of her lingered in my mouth. She's becoming part of me. My youngling.
The bond between us was instant. She's my wolf, but more importantly, she's my Luna and I'll feel that as soon as Mikhail marks her. She will bear his mate's mark and the bite of the one who turned her. She might be my luna but she ultimately belongs to me as a wolf. The body and soul belonged to this ass hole who is playing nothing, but Fall Out Boy.
"Okay, what the hell?" I asked turning it down.
"What?" he asked bothered.
"What's wrong?"
"I can smell her on you. How did you get her to stop crying?" he asked. I sighed looking out the window.
"I didn't. I covered her mouth so she could only breathe through her nose. Once she was calm I let her go and she passed out from the pain,"
"I hate this. I can't believe you talked me into it,"
"I hate this just as much. You think I want to leave my pup all alone? It had to be done for all of our sakes. Miranda is good with dormant wolves. My mom is good at keeping her calm,"
"Miranda," he chuckled and then smirked. "It sounds weird,"
"Cause she's your mom,"
"Why did you bring her back? I read some of your books. It said when she died the memories would fade back in within days,"
"Mika, she was my mom at one point as well. I always wanted to know why she was mad at me. I had it all wrong. I through things in her face that were false and she just let me. She let me treat her like s**t when we were younger, you know? She didn't have to do anything for me and look at me. I am who I am because she made it happen. I wouldn't be here without her.
"It's a hard pill to swallow. I'll never admit it to her, but I love her. She's just being a coward. She'll get over it soon enough. She needs time to feel bad for what she did before she'll be the luna again. None of us are going to just let it go until she does,"
"Dad thought it was you," he admitted. I glanced at him briefly taking my eyes off the road.
"What?" I asked shaking it off.
"He thought you were the one that did this to Riley. He's the only one that thinks that way. The wolf I was helping when he said that knows what you are. They all do. I know you don't see it but, they look all look up to you,"
"Dad," I sighed. "He has every reason to think that way. I know you want him to think better of me but you weren't there when everything happened. You didn't see how out of control I was. Dad has a right to think like that. Regardless of what anyone else tells him. You have to know that,"
He didn't say anything after that. It hurts me to know that my dad vividly remembers everything that I did. Why wouldn't he? He stood with me when I took everything that I did. He might have been the one pulling the strings but everything else was all me. I wanted to drown out these visions and he had given me the way out.
"Burgers or pizza?" I asked him.
"Burgers," he smiled, pointing at out the window.
"Burgers it is,"
