The Lycan's Soul Mate novel Chapter 16

Luna Knocked on the front door of the house and waited to be let in. An excited Soccorah came and grabbed hold of her pulling her into the house. “Oh, my goodness you actually came. I am so happy that you didn’t change your mind. We are gonna have so much fun. Come on let’s go upstairs. I wanna show you, our room. My mom stepped out but I’ll introduce her when she gets back.” On he way to Soccorah’s room she was overwhelmed by the masculine scent and felt the urge to seek out its owner. Luna was both excited and afraid. Why was this happening to her? This is definitely out of the ordinary. Her pulse increased and her breaths were deeper than usual. Why would a scent cause her to react this way?

It was unbearable; so, upon entering the room and putting down her overnight bag she said to Soccorah “Wow you have a beautiful house. Do the two of you live alone here?”

“Oh, this is my mom’s friend’s house. She died a few years ago. We live here taking care of the house for the owners. One of them is here. He goes to our school. I have been meaning to introduce you guys but you two have been so evasive. Come on he’s home now, let’s go.”

Soccorah asked Luna to follow her downstairs where they came to the back yard. As they approached the backyard the scent became stronger. The back door opened, and Luna saw a large open area with a large pool, gazebo and what seemed to be acres of land in the distance. She looked and saw the most handsome guy sitting on a chair by the pool reading a book. He was well built, tall, muscular, his skin so smooth, and the most beautiful grey eyes that she had ever seen.

“Luca, I want to introduce you to my friend Luna. She’s the girl that I was telling you about.”

Luca smiled and extended his hand out to Luna and said, “Oh it’s really nice to finally meet you. Soccorah has told me so much about you. She just won’t shut up. What did you do to her anyway?” As their hands touched, Luna felt as if jolts of electricity had been coursing through her veins. He smelled so good, his skin felt smooth, he was so handsome, and she wanted him. She wanted to be near him. She wanted him to hold her in his arms, she wanted him to kiss her, to never let her go. “It’s nice to meet you too.” Soccorah told him that we were going upstairs to do some studying and would meet up again during dinner. Luca acknowledged the statement and smiled.

Luna was so happy to have finally met him. She walked away shooting him a glance surprised to see that he too was staring at her and smiling. “Oh my god,” she said to herself “Why did I do that; he caught me looking at him. Oh my god. I can’t believe that he is who I’ve been sniffing since my first day of school and he is such a hunk. But I wonder if he and Soccorah ad anything going. I wonder if he has a girlfriend.” Luna and Soccorah went back into the house to begin their Anatomy studies leaving her thoughts and questions about Luca for later. She had no idea how she was going to sleep tonight under the same roof as him and not be with him. She thought to herself “Put yourself together. You’ve only just met him. You don’t even know if he’s interested.” With that she settled and concentrated on helping Soccorah.

Luca’s heart was racing like a stampede had been let loose in there. He had to struggle to maintain composure as the beautiful Luna walked up toward him. She was so beautiful, like out of this world beautiful. He didn’t know how to explain what he was feeling. It was unorthodox. He stared at her blue eyes. They were so captivating that he couldn’t seem to tear his gaze away from them. Her hair was long and white. This young lady was flawless.

Luna went upstairs to get ready for dinner and bumped head on into a shirtless Luca she looked up at him and saw that he had a birthmark on his chest perfectly round and red, just like the wolf in her dream. She absent mindedly touched the mark and caught herself as she apologized “I’m so sorry, I don’t even know why I did that. It’s a beautiful mark I couldn’t help but admire it.” He took her hand off his chest as he gently caressed her hand and said “That’s Ok. Felt good anyway. But seriously it was my fault. Wasn’t looking where I was going. Please don’t make this awkward.” As he smiled coquettishly as her. His smile sent shivers down her spine. Why are you apologizing? Why don’t you just kiss me. Please. Put me out of my misery and kiss me; she thought to herself. She smiled back at him and said “I like birthmarks. I have one too but mine is a crescent moon.” With that she didn’t wait to hear his answer and dashed into Soccorah’s room and lay down on the bed trying to compose herself.

Her thoughts took her back to the dream that she’d been having of the black wolf with the grey eyes much like Luca’s, and the wolf had a full moon mark on its chest much like Luca. “Oh my god!” she blurted out “Too many coincidences. I have a crescent mark on my ass just like my wolf, Luca has the same mark as the wolf in my dream and his scent is so familiar and intoxicating. It has to be him.” She thought to herself. She had to test him. She had to test all of them. She needed to know the truth. She needed to know what was happening. She got excited thinking that she may have found the wolf in her dreams. She stopped to think what this would mean. Afterall, she knew nothing of this world. She’d only found out that she was a ware wolf after getting confirmation from her long-lost uncle only tonight and all in the same night she may have just found the love of her life. She just needed to slow down and figure out what was happening and that she wasn’t crazy and stuck in lala land.

Just then Soccorah came to get her for dinner. The two went downstairs together. When they got to the dining table Nancy was already seated and Luca had cut across the table and sat down and started eating the soup which was meant for Luna. Soccorah shouted at him to stop but it was too late. In an effort to not draw too much attention to herself she said “This was Luna’s seat. Wanted her to seat with me to not be too nervous. “Sorry, but this soup was so yummy. She can seat with me. We’ve already been introduced. Luna You’re not shy now are u” “It’s fine. I can seat at any other setting. I’m ok. Don’t make a big deal out of this.” She replied. Nancy asked Luca to help her in the Kitchen as she was not sure how long it would take the potion to activate. The potion had been meant to force Luna to transform so they would know whether she was a supernatural being but idiot Luca had gone and filled his guts with it. Now Nancy tried to get him away from Luna in case they were wrong and she was human Afterall. They could not risk a human finding out about them. Luca followed Nancy into the kitchen. The consequences would be so catastrophic. How the hell did this happen? Soccorah thought to herself.
