Chapter 50

Katrina POV

I had never felt so loved in my life, in his arms I was like a child that was looking for his love. And I was getting all of it. I didn't want this moment to end but I couldn't control the fact that we were not yet together.

“Only if the moon goddess had taken me years back, then maybe I would be with you instead of ending up with Dominic.”

Merely looking into his eyes showed me what love felt like and not what it was meant to be, I wanted him to hold me forever but unfortunately our journey was coming to an end.

And I wasn't ready for it, I wanted to be with him forever, even if we had to run away, but he wouldn't make me be on the run with him. I knew that Hudson would always want to be sure that nothing bad happens to me.

“Katrina, we have to get going. We have a long journey ahead of us and I don’t think I want to keep you in the woods for long. We have to get back to the pack, I am sure they are looking for you.”

As I feared, I knew that it was coming to an end and there was no way to convince him to keep me here for another two days. I really wanted to stay here with him and be happy. But it turned out that he wanted to take me back.

If only there was a way to tell him that they were plotting my death then I know that he won't even let me off his sight. But I could not tell him now and ruin everything, I wanted to make sure that everything was in order that he would understand.

I knew I had to keep it a secret till everything was all clear and I knew that no one was going to hurt us anytime soon. I nodded and held on to him for him to carry me out of the lake.

“What are you doing?” He looked at me, smiling at me, I cuddled up to him and I wanted him to carry me out of the lake.

“Is it not obvious? I want you to carry me, I want to be closer to you since I don't know when I am going to have this chance again.” I puffed my cheeks, He understood what I meant, and he carried me in his arms.

I held on to him and I was happy that he was really carrying me on his shoulder. I didn't want to let go.

He carried me back to the cave, I looked him in the eye. I didn't want to go just immediately, as I looked at him tears fell from my eyes. I couldn't let go of him, it felt like I just got him and I was going to lose him again.

“Why are you crying?” He looked at me trying to know if I was okay, I knew he was worried. I couldn't control the fact that the other day we were not on good terms but now we were like lost lovers who wanted to be together with him forever.

I looked at him, I tested my head on his shoulder and all my body and essence wanted to be with him. I wanted to remain with him, no matter what I wanted to stay here with him and I wanted to make him mine.

“I don't want to go back, I want to stay here with you. It's not fair, I want to remain here with you and make sure that I don't lose you again. I don't want to go back to being hurt.” I leaned on him, he felt that I was broken.

“Katrina, look I too want to stay here with you and not return to the pack. But once we do that we have risks of being labeled as Rogues. And if that happens as a former Luna they would want to hire someone to hunt you down and make sure that you are dead.

I don't want that for you, it's not something I want for you. Look, I am sure that the moon goddess will find a way to make us stay together as one. She wouldn't want us to lose anything and I am sure that one day she would find a way for us to be together.”

His words were comforting, I knew he was right and that there would be a way for us to remain together in the future. We just had to be strong and make sure that we don't lose hope even in the darkest moment.

I just wanted to be with him from now and forever, I couldn't let him go now. But I had to make sure that I exposed Alicia and Dominic before they made another move. I wanted to be sure that nothing was going to block my way of having a happy life with him.

“Okay, but that won't mean that I won't have time with you when I get back to the pack. I will always want to be with you, and I will make sure that I will always have time with you even if you don't want it. I will make sure that we will have to look like friends.”

I was pouring at that point and it made him laugh, he looked so handsome when he was laughing. I didn't know why he was laughing, I didn't care but it made him look like an angel.

“Why are you laughing?” I looked at him to see if he would tell me why he was laughing, I really didn't want this moment to end.

“Well, I do not know what I did to get fated with someone as lovely as you. I would never let you off my sight, I promise you, Katrina. I will wait for you and be sure to keep you safe from the shadows. I love you, Katrina.” He looked me in the eyes, I didn't know he had a way with words like this.

I did not really know how to say anything anymore, I knew that no matter what I would be sure to be by his side and not leave him for anything or anyone.

I went in for a kiss, he gave me the kiss I wanted. He was the calmest of people and I knew that it would be a happy union if nothing came between us.

“Thank you for finally opening up to me, I could not have done it. I would have been lost and it would have been hard for me to do anyway. I know that you will be willing to make sacrifices for me and I am ready to make sacrifices for you as well.

I know it might be hard but I will find a way to make you happy and I will also be sure to assist you in any way you need to make sure that you take your position as Alpha and I will be by your side as your one and only Luna.”

**

We were heading back to the pack, and Hudson made sure that I didn't leave his side. He kept his eyes on me and I didn't even understand why he was doing that for me. I knew he was trying to make sure that nothing happened to me and that I was safe.

“You know that I can handle myself, you don't have to hold me like this. I feel like a child, you don't have to do this much for me.” I looked at him pouting, and he smiled.

“The last time I let you walk on your own, you jumped off a cliff. And rogue wolves chased and almost killed you. I can't let you off my sight. I think if I do, you might bump into a Lycan.” He was clearly making fun of me.

I knew that he was only trying to make me feel safe, so I didn't make much out of it. But I wanted to be able to walk normally without him being overprotective.

I stopped and turned to him. He looked a bit stunned when I did. He was surprised that I had stopped and turned to face him like that.

“Look, if I can run to that tree,” I pointed to an oak tree in front of us, he looked at the tree and then back to me.

“If I can run to that tree and back without falling. I will be allowed to walk on my own. Agreed?” I looked at him trying to see what his response would be.

He smiled, “I want to make it a bit challenging, run to the oak and up without falling then I will trust you.” He smiled.

“Okay let's do this.”
