Mythical Luna's Mates novel Chapter 9

Freya

I stared at the glowing red eyes and they stared right back at me, first I thought it was some illusion of mine but I got certain after a few moments that it was not my imagination playing tricks on me. There was someone in the woods who was watching me with those glowing red orbs. A shiver of fright passed down my spine and I felt like the world stopped rotating on its axis. There was just me and those red eyes piercing deep into my soul. I couldn't see anything other than the eyes because of the darkness that enveloped the woods.

"Freya, are you listening?" Dora asked.

"Can you see those eyes?" I asked Dora, tearing my gaze from the red orbs which had locked mine and looking at Dora.

"What eyes?" Dora asked surprised.

"There," I looked back at the spot in the woods where I had spotted the red eyes.

The eyes were gone, there was nobody present there. Were they a figment of my imagination?

"Which eyes Freya? What are you talking about?" Dora sounded panicked.

"Maybe I was just imagining them," I shook my head trying to get rid of the image of those red eyes.

"Let's go inside, you are scaring me," Dora said getting up from the stairs.

I got up after her and us both head inside the house through the backdoor and into the kitchen. Our omega was busy setting the food on the dining table in the dining room adjoining the kitchen. My hunger kicked in from the aromas of the delicious dishes she had prepared. I had been on intravenous fluids for nearly four days. The doctor had only allowed me soup in the afternoon to get my body to adjust to the food.

"Did you get Titus's phone number?" Dora asked.

"I didn't," I replied regretting.

"Did he ask for yours?"

"No, we didn't know he will have to leave without me," I replied honestly.

We would have exchanged our phone numbers if we would have known something like this could happen. According to the customs, I would have to leave my pack and go and live with Titus, in his pack after we found out that we were mates.

"He can try to call Alpha's office and take your number if he wants," Dora said.

The point was if he wanted to, I was not sure what Titus wanted. He had been gone for four days and had made no attempt to contact me. I was doubting if he even wanted me, maybe he would have thought about his father's advice that I was not worthy of being his Luna and he could get anyone better than me and with a wolf.

There were so many questions and no answers. I still, had the prophecy to discuss with my parents. I hadn't told them about it yet. I was worried about how they might react after knowing it. Dad might send for the witch who had been helping our pack for years and was an ally. Maybe I should not think about it much. It was a weird Prophecy after all. Then there was the dream I had where Titus was there. What did he mean about me being the fire? Was he indicating that making me his Luna would prove fatal to him and might cause destruction to his pack?

What other explanation there could be other than this? Why was my life getting so complicated with each passing day? Why couldn't my life be like other girls? Why can't I have a normal life? Why didn't I had a wolf-like everyone else?

Ahhhhhhh.

Why me, why me and not anyone else?

I started to feel the urge to burn down everything again. What was wrong with me? Why was I feeling like this? Was being away from my mate driving me crazy? I couldn't understand what was happening to me, but I was feeling like I was falling into an abyss deeper and deeper.

There were still those red eyes watching me from the woods and the chill that spread through my body under their piercing gaze. Who could that be and why were they stalking me? I had felt that sensation of being watched many times in the past months and now I had just found out the eye color of that being.

Who could that be and why was he stalking me? Was he one of Dad's enemy? Why was I calling it, him? They could be female as well, but I was getting this feeling that whoever or whatever creature it was, it had to be a male.

"Freya, you are not eating anything," Mom said from across the table.
