Black Luna

Chapter 26 Secrets

I was confused. Surely I saw Dylan just now. And if he was...what was he doing? Curiosity is getting the better of me...

But just as I was about to go follow him, a hand stopped me.

"What are you doing?"

I spun around. But still, in the dark, it was clear who it was.

"N-nothing. It was nothing."

"Well okay. U should get back to bed."

"O-of course. Night."

"Good night."

He dropped my hand and I headed back upstairs and closed the door behind me.

"What took u so long?"

"Mate. You're not asleep?"

"I couldn't. The bed was too empty."

I chuckled.

I slipped in with him and he wrapped his arms around me.

"So. What took you so long?"

"Um, nothing. Just...was thinking about stuff."

"Stuff?"

"Being a luna I guess. I never wanted to be one."

"Why?"

"Because Alpha-"

....

I shouldn't.

"Alpha?"

"N-no reason. It's ok. I just thought I wasn't Luna material."

He sighed.

"Guess you still don't trust me fully yet."

He removed his hands and turned the other way.

"Good night." He said.

"Good...night."

And there was silence throughout the night.

Morning...

Mate was still asleep when I woke up. But, he had some dried tears. Was he crying? But I could've felt his sadness- he must have blocked me.

Sigh...

What a tragedy. Perhaps he should know everything...perhaps.

While chopping the carrots, mate entered the living room. Looks like he just got out of the shower.

His hair was still wet and he had droplets of water on his neck. But through his shirt and the wrinkles on it gave me the perfect picture of a nice line, 6 pack, ton body structure. He was perfect. And he's all mine.

He had- ouch!

I looked down at the chopping board and saw I had cut myself a little deep. I stared at the fresh cut and saw it healing a little.

I sucked on it.

Mate came forward and grabbed my hand. He looked down at the cut.

"That's quite a deep cut."

"It's nothing. It's fine."

"You sure?"

"Of course. Go and sit. Breakfast will be ready in a second."
