Chasing His Betrayed Luna - Chapter 186: Chapter 186

Fiona
I ran.
As fast as my legs could carry me, I ran.
I tried to dry the tears on my face but even as I ran, it trickled down my chin as I cried even more.
That letter broke me.
As much as it gave me hope and answered my questions, it broke me, and I found myself wishing for a life I would never have -a life where I could get to know and hold my parents.
I may get that in my next life.
For now, I just have to be grateful for this life because I got to hold and know my children.
“I’ll make sure my kids get to know, love, and hold their father for a very long time. I won’t let him die.”
My wolf agreed with me as she felt every bit of emotion that coursed through me. The wind carried my hair as I zoomed right back to the white wolf’s building, looking for the best Mender I knew.
“Lori….”
I called out as soon as I entered the building.
I caught the attention of a few white wolves who were still relaxing after a long morning of training. Tamia was also in the living room and she walked up to me the second she sensed my emotions and saw my face.
“Everything okay, Fiona?” Tamia asked with concern.
But at that moment, I couldn’t focus on Tamia. I couldn’t even look at her.
“Where’s Lori? I need Lori-” I panted, unsettled.
“Someone get Lori, please.” Tamia uttered to the people in the room with us before she faced me again, “You’ve to tell me why you -”
“I need her to train me. I need to become a Mender.” I said to Tamia, finally looking at her.
Tamia frowned, “Why the rush? You are supposed to start training with her next week. Did you have another vision?” Tamia’s frown said it all. She was worried… worried about the war just like I was and who could blame her if she was more worried? After all, she witnessed the first wave of the war.
It was at this moment that I decided to keep my intentions from Tamia and even from Lori who would be teaching me how to save Lucas, the father of my kids. I decided they didn’t have to know because I knew they would try to stop me and talk about limitations…
“You are not the goddess, Fiona.” I just knew Tamia would say something like that.
So I lied, “Yes. Yes, I had another vision and I know I have to learn faster. We all do.”
Tamia frowned and I knew for a fact that she was trying to read me… read my thoughts but I blocked her out effortlessly without even realizing it. Being able to block Tamia out was one of the perks of being a Memory Reader and I couldn’t be more grateful.
“I know you are worried but I want you to relax, Fiona. Susanna gave me a report of your training with her and you should-”
“I can’t waste time, Tamia. Please don’t try to talk me out of it.” Because I won’t listen.
Thankfully, Lori walked into the living room before Tamia could say another word. I rushed over to her and voiced, “Teach me how to mend.”
Of course, she was shocked but she pulled herself together. “When do we start?”
“How about now?” I asked but more like ordered.
Lori’s eyes widened yet she muttered, “Very well. Come with me to the purifying lake.”
“I’m coming too.” Tamia etched.
I didn’t complain because while she might have wanted to tear my mind apart with her eyes, I thought her presence would be an added advantage. I could learn how to mend and how to become a strong spiritual guardian all at the same time.
But when we got to the purifying lake and Lori started by saying, “To be a Mender you must first learn to be a Healer,” I realized that I was in for a long ride.
The process to open the pathway to the healing energy within me took longer than I thought and I left the purifying Lake later in the evening with little to no progress.
Tamia had to call Lucas to come get me before she succeeded in driving me out.
“It’s harder than I assumed.” Inara sighed within me after Lucas made me lie in bed.
My mate had spent the past minutes talking my ears off about how I was hell-bent on draining myself.
“If I can, I would ban you from training because you are doing too much of that.” He whispered into my ears.
“Thank Goddess you can.” I retorted and he smiled, kissing my forehead before getting into bed with me.
I fell asleep in his arms, determined to get enough rest before morning so I could go to Lori again. I forgot to see my kids that day and didn’t realize that until I woke up in the middle of the night and found them snoring softly on the bed as well.
I was still in Lucas’s arms but Katie snuggled on his other side while Kyle was sleeping beside me.
“This is something I want to keep forever,” I said to myself.
I didnt want to go back to the days when I had to sleep alone with the kids… where I was the only parent.
I loved it here…
Finding peace at that moment, I dozed off again. I woke up hours later to the sound of my grumbling stomach and it hit me- I didn’t eat yesterday.
I woke up alone and assumed Lucas had gone to the field for morning physical training and the kids were with Maya or Iris but when I got closer to the kitchen, I not only perceived food. I perceived Lucas as well.
He was cooking for me…
And he was shirtless…
“Good morning, Beautiful.” He beamed at me as soon as he saw me. “After all that training, I figured you would wake up hungry so what do you say to the only food I can cook perfectly?”
“I want it…” I breathed, eyes dilated.
I almost forgot about eating actual food because all of a sudden, Lucas looked like the kind of food I needed… My core throbbed, for him.
