Chapter 35
Happiness POV
With the war being over, and Louis finding Blaze, there was no reason for the Crescent Moon Pack to be here anymore. I knew that saying goodbye to the Crescent Moon Pack would be the hardest thing I would ever have to do and my heart sinks just at the thought of it, but I knew it was the right choice. After Louis found his Luna, everything changed in our relationship. A tiny piece of me still hurts and that tiny piece still in love with him. I knew it was wrong, I wanted to stay far, far away so there are no temptations. I did not want to hurt Blaze or Louis with these hidden feelings of mine. This other reason why I stayed was because I also needed to give Benson a chance to show me that he can be just as caring and loving as Louis. He has been nothing but sweet ever since we had the conversation at in his hospital room and that gives me hope that he has indeed changed. Still, I dreaded the day of goodbyes but I knew that it was going to approach fast.
The car in which I came with was parked outside of the Moonlight Pack house, only this time, my baggage was the only ones missing from the trunk. Claudia and Juliet had tears running down their faces as they ran towards me for a final embrace. I hugged Claudia first, tightly wrapping my arms around her,
"Thank you. Thank you for everything Claudia. I will never forget all the memories we shared together and all you have done for me. You are like the sister I never had. I love you and I will miss you so much." I rasped out. Claudia's voice wobbled as she spoke, "Are you sure you don't want to come back with us?" I pulled back from the hug and held her by the shoulder, smiling through teary eyes,
"I have decided to give Benson a chance so I need to stay here." Claudia nodded and finally mustered a small smile,
"I understand. If you ever need anything, remember that I am just a howl away. I love you, Happiness, take care." Claudia gave me a final embrace before getting into the car. Juliet then pulled me into a tight squeeze,
"Happiness, I will miss you so much!" I buried my face into her neck, spots of tears dripping onto her neck,
"I will miss you more." Juliet let go and wiped her tears,
"You have grown so much Happiness, you are the strongest wolf I know and I am so proud of you. I will always be there for you hunny. I love you. Oh and make sure to keep eating three meals per day and wear layers when it's cold out." I giggled, Juliet was always kind of like a mom for me, she had that motherly aura about her and took care of me as a mother would,
"I love you, Juliet, thank you for caring for me."
Jude embraced me first in a tight and loving, brotherly hug to which Matthew then joined in. I was squished in between them and quickly losing air,
"Guys…can't…breathe." I wheezed out. They laughed and released me,
"We are going to miss you squirt." Jude told me as he playfully ruffled my hair. I giggled and pushed his hand off,
"I am going to miss you too Jude." Matthew, the more sensitive one, stood silently on the side, watching us with a faint sad smile. I held out my arms, silently asking him for another hug. Matthew obliged and wrapped his strong arms around my smaller frame,
"Take care of yourself baby sis. If you ever need anything, I will always be there for you. Don't grow up too fast bub, I will miss you." I smiled and nodded,
"Thank you, big bro, I will miss you more." I watched as they too got into the car, a small whimper escaped me as my heart painfully throbbed, longing for them.
The final goodbye was the one I dreaded the most. Louis smiled warmly and open his arms widely, letting me run into them. I whimpered and struggled to keep my tears in,
"Thank you…thank you for saving me. Thank you for everything." Louis gently stroked my hair,
"Take care of yourself little one. Remember, you are always welcome in my pack. Our home is yours." I finally burst into tears, my whole body shook violently with each sob. Louis held me tighter and sang in a soft soothing voice in attempts to calm me down,
"Sssh sssh Happiness, it's going to be okay. Everything will be okay. Focus on my voice little one, focus on me. Only me. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine/ You make me happy when skies are grey/ You never noted how much I love you/ Please don't take my sunshine away." I felt myself automatically calm down after focusing on his voice, my sobs slowly reducing to hiccups, my cries silencing.
"That's it little one. It is going to be okay, you're going to be okay." Louis whispered while stroking my back soothingly. I finally gathered enough air to say my final words to him,
"I adore you, Louis." Louis smiled down at me, that kind heartwarming smile that lit up his whole face, that smile that I will always love and remember,
"I adore you too little one."
Louis and Blaze got into the car, and finally standing by Benson side, I watched with endless tears falling down my face as my family drove away. Benson pulled me closer to his side and once the car disappeared from sight, I turned and buried my face into his chest, bursting into tears once again, my heart aching for Claudia, Terry, Matthew, Taylor, Juliet, Jude, and Blake. Benson softly stroked my hair and whispered into my ear,
"I am here now, it's going to be okay. Let me take care of you now, mate." ."
Opening the door to my brother's and I two bedroom apartment. I walked into the kitchen where my brother Alex was reviewing cases. He never lets me see them and when he talks to me about it, he lectures me on how not to do dumb stuff. Standing immediately he bows his head, but not before her sent me a glare.
"You can look at me" The alpha said and my brother snapped his head up to pierce me with a glance like what did you do now. holding my hand uo in surrender I shake my head. When I was 16 I hung out with the wrong croud and had gotten arrested for it. So he uses rembers that everytime I get in trouble.
"Your sister here is my mate, I tryed to stay away from her but do to what I witnessed a few minutes ago. I realised that I cannot do that. Go pack your things Happiness."
I only lived with my brother after our parents died. I dont even know this man let alone his first name, and now i'm supposed to live with. Have not finished high school either.
"Don't you think it would be better if she stayed here Alpha?" Alex questions.
"For what i'm planning I need to know she is safe, and out here in this little cabin will not gantree her saftey."
"Then we why did you put us in this house?"
"I don't like to be questioned but, I will answer this last one. I needed to keep away for a while. Now Happiness go pack your things. Go now." He says a little more dominant.
Im both equally happy and dad that I had found my mate. I did not want to be in a committed relationship, or leave my brother. I just turned 18 five months ago. Looking to my brother he had a sad look in his eyes. I can't believe I have to leave him. I was the only thing he had left, and now I was being taking away. Slowly walking through the hallway to my room, I realise that I can no longer help decroate the house. Entering my room and grab a big gym bag and set it on my bed as I packed my things from the floor and silently cried, hoping things will get better then.
