FIRST ENCOUNTER ISN'T A COINCIDENCE 1

CHAPTER 5: FIRST ENCOUNTER ISN'T A COINCIDENCE 1

FEW WEEKS LATER - THE KEANU’S PLACE

« SIERRA »

It’s night already and everywhere seems so calm and quiet. No one is outside, there’s no noise, just the night birds chirping silently making the night more gracious. The moon stood out in its position lightening up the whole pack.

I sighed on seeing that it’s a full moon. Then, I walked away from the window going outside. I have to be with both mom and dad and Luna hasn’t even arrived since she left home while we were having lunch. I sighed out on reaching the sitting room. Talk of the devil! There she is, looking like a mess.

She approached me and take a look at me. I was wondering why she did that when I saw myself in my parent’s room. Wait! Did she go practice again? this girl won’t be the end of everyone in here. Then, she appeared beside mother.

I rushed to her on seeing how she’s shivering. It’s not even that cold but when it’s the full moon, mother suffers from a sickness we don’t know about. Luna placed her hand on her forehead and she calmed down. Woah! We’ve been waiting for that all our life.

" We have to take you to the hospital before midnight. I’m still trying to get my healing power completely. This is the little I can do, I’m sorry, mom. " She mumbled, sadly and mom smiled at her. If Luna isn’t in this family, only God knows what will have become of us. She’s an Angel in form of human.

Then, she looked at father before nudging me to take care of him. Then, she vanished with mother.

" Did they already leave for the hospital? " Dad asked, as I took my seat beside him. I held his hands and kissed him before leaning into his arm.

« LUNA»

I appeared in the middle of the healer’s compound and ascended the stairs leading into the hospital. We entered and showed them their access to enter before we were directed into the doctor’s office.

" Luna…" The doctor called on seeing me enter with my mom. I bowed just a little and he smiled in return.

" We’re here again like on every full moon. You were talking about having a power to heal her completely the other day, right? The doctor hummed positively and brought it out before raising it up on her face.

" Can you admit my mother first? I have to make sure she’s okay before I can go start anything. " The doctor exhaled and called in some nurses who took my mother into a ward.

" I am very jealous of your family. " The Doctor stated, making me smile. He gestured me to take my seat which I did.

" So, my first payment. " I uttered, bringing out the cash from my small hand purse. I handed it over to him and he smiled, looking at me. I got back on my feet and uttered in a pleading tone to him; " I’ll bring the balance first thing next tomorrow morning. Please, don’t stop the treatment. " He nodded and I bow shortly before leaving.

I had to visit my mother in her ward before setting to leave. I entered her ward and met Sierra and Father already there. On seeing me, my mother smile widely and gestured me to come hug her which I did. She started patting my head and that makes me feel more like a toddler.

A tear escaped my eye and I quickly wipe it off. I don’t want her to get emotional or else everyone’s gon' end up crying.

" You should just stay for the night and leave tomorrow…" She uttered, almost in a whisper. I wish I can stay, too. I want o stay but if I do, where will I get your surgery bills? I raised my head and held her hands in mine. I placed a kiss on it and whispered; " Let me go work today so that I can take care of you in the future. " She stroke my hair and exhaled heavily.

" Take care of yourself, okay? " She caressed my cheek and I nodded before waving my family goodbye. I exhaled on leaving the ward. I am just an eighteen-year-old girl destined to be the one responsible for my family’s wants and needs. To be honest, sometimes, I wish I wasn’t born or raised as an omega. I hate the fact that I’m an Omega.

It’s annoying and irritating. Regardless, I’m happy that I can help my family. All I’m just hoping for is that my mate shouldn’t be a weak omega like me. I know it’s impossible but, I just hope the moon goddess can hear me and grant my wishes.

" I’m not feeling good, I’m staying home. " Raff mumbled and I had to halt on my track.

" What’s up with you? Can I help with anything? " I asked, worriedly but the last thing I heard from her was her negative response. " Ugh!!! I’m alone again. " I heaved a sigh, then, entered the convenience store where I work my night shift.

" Good evening, mate! " I greeted the other guy who works the morning and afternoon shift. In a hurry, he took off the vest and hand it over to me. He pecked my cheeks and left.

I went inside the counter and put on the vest. As if people around there were waiting for me, they started coming in to buy things.

The night was going on well with people bustling in and out of the convenience store. The sales were increasing as it is. Well, it always does. I was still on it when a customer came in and called my name. I didn’t look up at first because I don’t think anyone here knows me.

Then, the person called me again; " Luna, is that not you? " The voice sounds familiar so, I just had to look up and check who it is and surprisingly, it’s someone I know. It’s Regina, we were friends in high school.

" Regina?!! " I Called in astonishment. Not because it’s been long I’ve seen her but because she’s changed a lot. She looks classy and hot at the same time. She spread her arms wide open and I had to come out of the counter so, I could hug her.

" Sweetheart! You don’t know how much I miss you. I even tried looking for you but you were nowhere to be found. You look awfully gorgeous like damn! Look at you. " She complimented and I just had to return it with a smile.

" You don’t look good, what’s up? I want to hear everything. Don’t leave nothing behind. " We both went out of the store because there was no space inside. We found seats and sat down before dawning on the conversation. We shared a lot and in conclusion, she said she can help me if I’m ready to take a risk.

" What risk is there that I can’t take? I’ve taken too many risks in my life to be weighed down by one. The first risk I had to take in my life was staying alive till today. It’s not been easy. " I uttered and she pat my shoulder gently before standing up. She came to me and lift me up, pulling me into a hug.

I didn’t realize how much I needed that until she hugged me. It was as if the world stopped at that moment. I didn’t know when tears started trickling down my cheeks. I swallowed before wiping it off. Then, we disengaged from the hug.

" Meet me at the Night Walker’s hotel and Suite at 7 P.M tomorrow. Get ready to risk the most important thing a werewolf could never think of losing. " She pecked my cheeks then left afterwards. I exhaled heavily and the first thing that came to my mind was my virginity.

I’ve got not choice than to do this. If it’s for my mother, then, I’m more than ready to lose even my pride. I just have to make sure she survives it. She’s none like no other. I can’t afford to lose my mom. Just at the thought of it, I’m already crying.

I wiped my tears and went back in before resuming my position.
