CHAPTER 3
"What the f**k?!" The words escape my mouth before I can filter them.
I cross my arms against my chest, looking Josh in his eyes. He audibly swallows thickly before opening his
mouth to speak.
" On my way here, I went to see mom. She hugged me, and that must have left a stain," his voice is
smooth but my angry expression is unwavering as I ask sternly.
" Are you cheating on me?"
Josh looks shocked, he closes his eyes momentarily then opens them
" I swear to the moon mother, I'm not. You can call my mom if you wish," he sounds agitated now, as he
tries to get the phone from his pocket.
" Why would I cheat when I love you so much!" He continues while pressing numbers on his phone. I
take In a deep breath and look into his eyes, this is Josh, the guy I've known since I was seven years old. I
take his phone away and sigh.
I cup Josh's face.
" Are you saying the truth?" I ask, looking into his eyes.
Josh kisses my lips softly,
" I love you, I'd never even think about being with another," He pulls me into an embrace and whispers
in my ear.
" Josh, I don't know what I'll do if I ever find out you've been unfaithful, my heart wouldn't bear it,"
" Don't doubt me, please," his voice is kind and I wrap my arms around him.
The rest of the night everything is magical, unlike what I thought, josh took me on a candlelight dinner
date. The food was delicious and so appetizing.
He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and smiles.
" You're beautiful," I'm blushing like crazy right now.
" Thank you," I whisper. Our conversation flows naturally and freely just like us. Josh is not as tense as
he seemed in the earlier hours.
His phone chimes and I glare at it again.
" Who keeps texting you?" I ask, he has been receiving a lot of messages.
"It's just work, baby," he says with a smile then turns it off completely. Josh is finishing with his business
degree next month yet works at my father's company. Dad thought it was a good idea for him to learn
about the company since it's affiliated with the pack. I didn't want to study business administration, I
want to be in health just like my mother so I did that and this year I'm in my last year.
" How is work?" I ask, for a while we discuss how business and studies, I go to a local university just here
in the pack as well.
Josh seems enthusiastic to take over while I worry about whether I'll make a good Luna for the pack,
human Lunas are unheard of.
Later in the night, Josh kisses my cheek and drops me home.
" Thanks for the night. It was fun,"
" I had a good time," he opens the door and motions me to go in.
I start to walk but he's not following. I turn and ask
" Are you not coming?"
" I'll sleep at my parent's. I have to discuss something with my parents," he says. I smile and proceed to
my room.
After freshening up, I lie on the bed, just thinking.
The night was perfect but my heart doesn't feel right.
I keep tossing and turning in bed.
I get out of bed and walk to my balcony.
I close my eyes and inhale some fresh air in my lungs.
After a long silence. I hear a long-familiar howl and my heart starts to pound louder against my chest,
the last time I heard it was four years ago... The rogues attack and... killed my mother.
