Chapter 37

LUNA POV

Using the syringe, Ryan exerts aspiration pressure against the syringe plunger to extract blood from me. The needle hurts but I can handle it. I was still weak after I gave blood to Hector earlier. Stefan and Francis need my blood to heal. They are badly hurt after they've been tortured using silver.

I felt so weak. I want to rest and sleep. Hector on my side looks well after he drank my blood. I am happy to see him alive and strong.

"Hector, you can now bring Luna to her room. This blood is enough." Ryan told us.

Hector nodded and guided me upstairs where a room was waiting for me.

"Lay down in bed Luna. You need to rest. I love you." he said as he kissed my forehead.

He helped me make myself comfortable in bed. The bed was soft and warm.

I saw Hector go out of the room. My eyelids were as heavy as I started to doze.

I was sleeping when I heard the mysterious voice again. It was calling for my name.

I opened my eyes. I am at the cabin again.

I tried to search for Hector but he was not around.

I followed the voice. The voice becomes louder when I went out of the cabin.

The forest was quiet. I can't hear anything, even crickets.

"Luna, over here," the voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Over here, Come here Luna," the voice convinced me to follow it.

I walked for a few minutes, deeper into the woods.

I tried to look around. All I can see were thick bushes and tall trees.

I stopped when I heard the sound of flowing water.

I approached the sound to see that it was a river. I never knew any river in this place.

I looked closer at the crystal water that flows in an endless path.

My vision caught something that shines. It was so beautiful and it was inviting me to touch it.

I tried to sink my hands in the water to reach for the shining thing. I was able to get it and it was a gold ring.

My eyes glittered with joy seeing this gold ring when suddenly I felt a force that pulls me and I fell on the water.

"Help, help me," I shouted.

But no one is here. I am a good swimmer but the water current is getting stronger, I can't even swim going to the river bank.

No. I need to save my life. I need to live. I can't die this way.

The water current is getting stronger and my body can't stand it anymore.

"Help, somebody help!" I was running out of breath, I am drowning. The water tasted sour and it hurts as it reaches my lungs.

I saw someone standing on the river bank. He threw me a rope and I was able to hold it.

He pulled me back to the river bank and reached for my hand.

I choked as I reached the ground. That was close.

I looked up to see the man and to thank him. My vision went into a blur, I can't even see him.

He was tall and his chest are broad. I know he was already in his early 50s.

"Who are you?" I asked him, then my eyes snapped open. It was another dream.

I tried to look around, I remember I was in Ryan's home.

I felt the fresh air coming from the window. It was already morning.

I went near the window to feel more of its warmth.

It was a fair day. The birds were chirping with so much joy.

The door opened and the man I loved the most came in.

He was wearing that captivating smile, he was handsome.

I approached him and hugged him tightly. I am so happy he was here.

"Did you miss me baby?" he playfully asked.

"Yes, I do. I missed you. I've been asleep for hours, so there, I missed you now," I can feel my cheeks burning.

He gave me a sweet kiss on my lips.

"I think you better take a shower now, the breakfast is waiting for us," he said.

I nodded and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Hector said he would wait for me in the living room. He needs to check on Francis and Stefan.

The water from the shower was amazing. I remember the dream from last night.

I always hear that voice and I often have these mysterious dreams. It could be warnings and scenes in preparation for the future but I can't tell what it is.

I composed myself and went out to fix my hair. Ryan's attendants prepared my clothes.

I put light make-up on my face the hide my pale skin.

I hurriedly went down the stairs and to the living room. There I saw four handsome men waiting for me.

It was Hector, Ryan, Stefan, and Francis. I am so happy to see them fine and healed.

"Good Morning," I shared my sweetest smile.

"Come, baby, join us. Let's eat." Hector invited me. I sat down beside him as we started to eat.

I ate rice, sausage, and some meat. We happily ate and had a little chit-chat with Ryan.

"I am so happy that you finally found your mate, Hector," Ryan said.

"Yes, cuz, Thanks to the pink moon. I was able to confirm it was her." Hector answered.

"After all these problems, Hector will surely marry Luna. I am excited about that"." Francis joined.

I felt heat all over my face. Marrying the man I love would be a dream come true.

"Yes, of course, I will marry my mate. I loved her so much." Hector replied as he reached for my hand.

I turned to see his crystal blue eyes staring at me.

"We are all waiting for your wedding, but before that Hector, I need to tell you something," Ryan spoke. His face shared a worried look.

"What is that cousin?" Hector inquired.

"Uncle Emmanuel wanted to leave his position as the alpha. He has no child, remember that. And in our family, it is you who can be the next alpha," he revealed.

"I know. But...," Hector took a deep breath.

"Think about it Hector, if you agreed to be the next alpha of the pack, you will have the power to protect your mate," Ryan made it clear.

"I agree with you. I need more help to protect Luna," Hector agreed.

"Maybe one of these days, you'd better talk to Uncle Emmanuel," Ryan said.

"Yes, I will," Hector answered.

After breakfast, Ryan invited us to the garden which is next to the pool. Ryan wanted us to breathe some fresh air. He said we need to clear our minds after all the bad things that had happened. As to my wound in the arm, its healing was faster. Ryan gave me medicines, and it was effective.

The sun shines today, I am loving the weather. With Hector by my side, everything was perfect.

We are enjoying the flowers in Ryan's garden when we heard someone calling Hector's name.

I turned to look in the direction and recognized the woman coming in our direction.

It was Jasmine, Hector's fiancé. I almost forget about her, what is she doing here?

She ran towards Hector and wrapped his arms around his neck. She kissed him on the lips and turned to me with an angry look.

Hector tried to free himself from her arms.

"What are you doing here?" Hector asked her.

"I'm here to talk about our wedding," Jasmine replied.
