Alpha's Blind Luna
Chapter 6

***Logan's POV***

I walked into the building with a mission. Get in, grab my mate, get out. We weren't staying here. Ifinally had found her, my mate, my Luna and I was not going to stick around for the party. Bryanbasically had to run to keep up with my strides. I scanned the ballroom but realized my eyes woulddo nothing for me here. It would be my nose and Cato that would be the one to replace her.

I walked around the room, people parting for me, knowing exactly who I was. My face probablydidn’t show a single ounce of happiness either. The Alpha of the hosting pack tried to speak to me,but I threw Bryan at him and continued my sniffing search throughout the room. There was a cornerof the room, where it smelled like her the most.

Seems like she spent a good amount of time standing here. Cato confirmed my suspicious but shewasn't here anymore.

I looked around and tried to pinpoint the next location.

Down the hall Logan. To your right, the scent goes that way.

I didn't even need to confirm with him. I trusted Cato more than myself at this point. The hallwaywas empty and I looked around. There were stairs up and down, as well as a multitude of doors.'Down the stairs to the right."

My feet almost flew down the stairs and I jumped the last three. I was starting to get annoyed. Mymate was leading me on a wild goose chase. After all these years, I didn't need another chase. Whatif I was about to lose her? What if she would leave all together? My heart constricted.

'Focus Logan. Out the door. Outside, into the forest.

I pushed the door open and strode into the forest. I was not trying to be quiet. I was following thescent and with each gust of wind I felt like I was being tortured by her. It became stronger andstronger.

“You know, some of us are trying to enjoy the quiet moonlight.”

Suddenly, I froze. I nearly melted on the spot. Her voice reached me and I swayed. It was smoothlike the wind or water. It also wasn't a voice of a child, but of a woman. My heart was skipping and Istarted to walk closer, my feet falling as though they weighed 100Ibs. There was a clearing with asmall steam that flowed through it. Next to the stream was a sizable rock that jutted out over thestream.

I couldn't breathe. My mate was sitting on the rock, moonlight shown on her as though the MoonGoddess herself was showing me what I was searching for. I looked her up and down. The silverdress shimmered and only seemed to accentuate the tan of her skin. But when she looked at me,her eyes were a completely grey.

“Logan, she’s blind." Cato said it and I couldn't even fathom it. He started to whine more. “She has somany scars. Logan, what happened to our mate. What has she been through?"

I couldn't even answer him. Because for the first time, I was seeing her legs, arms, back, everythingperfectly sculpted but was covered in scars. She was a werewolf. She was supposed to heal though.Why hadn't she healed? The scars were massive and her eyes, showing their unseeing grey.“Frankly, I feel like you didn't get the hint that I was..." Her voice again started to make me meltagain and I had to interject.

"What is your name?” It came out gruffer than I meant to to be. I saw surprise wash over her. Shehadn't smelled me. She didn’t know. The wind was blowing in my direction and she hadn'tregistered who she was talking to. Now, I watched as her body reacted to my words, I savored it inthe moonlight. My patience was a singular thread at this point.

“What is your name, mate?” I repeated.

“Auri, my name is Auri Meadows.” Her voice flowed over me like the stream that she was just barelydipping into.

“I've found you.” I almost choked out the words.

I watched as the initial shock wore off and was replaced by sadness. Her eyes, though unseeing,were still so expressive that I watched the sadness swirl around and start to swallow her. She leanedforward and jumped off the rock, her dress not coming all at once with her, giving me a perfectshow of a tight round ass. She was a knockout. An ass, breasts, hips, and everything was tight. Ifanything she was a little too thin. She was the most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on.

“Did you want to reject me now? Or wait till later?”

Cato whined as I tried to focus on what she was saying. Reject? This beautiful creature? I didn'tknow how to react. Shock, anger, confused...all just passed through my mind as I looked at her, stillbathed in the moonlight. Auri, she said her name was. It was magical, she was magical. Like shebelonged to the forest more than she belonged to me. As though the moon goddess had presentedme with a forest nymph. I was on the cusp of losing her though.

"Reject you? Why would I reject you?” I wished the main emotion behind my words was confusionbut they came out angry.

Auri was obviously confused and torn as well. She looked taken aback by my question. “Because I'mnot...flawless? I'm blind and scarred and...” Her words seems to flow away from her. They washedover me as I saw tears form under her eyes.

How long she thought her mate would reject her. Wouldn't like a broken mate. I'm sure there aresome out there. Cato whined.

“But we are not that kind."

Cato smiled. 'We are not."

I walked towards her and brushed my hand against her cheek, catching her tears. Savoring the feelof her skin on mine. She was so damn beautiful my heart almost couldn't take it. It threatened tohammer out of my chest.

“I will not reject my mate. My fated. My soulmate. Not ever.”

I took her hand in mine. It was shaking. She had a slight smile on her face as I kissed her hand.Goddess, her smile, even the smallest one, was about to bring me to my knees. I would do anythingfor this woman. If she asked for the moon, the stars, and everything in between I would give it toher. After a moment, I was able to identify her smell. It was forest but the forest in the morning, justbefore the sun was rising and then if you wove in a spice, cinnamon or nutmeg or a little of both.“Auri, do you have you things here at the castle?”

She shook her head.

'Of course she doesn't. She thought her mate was going to reject her.’

"Aur, is there anything you need to pick up at your home before we leave?”

She took a deep breath. “There are a couple things at home, I would like..."

“Is it far?” I started to pull her out of the forest and she slowly let me lead her.

“No, only about 10 minutes or so.”

I nodded and pulled her closer to me.

'Hey dumbass, why not introduce yourself.’ Cato chuckled.

“Shit.” I said in a low voice but it was enough to make her jump and stop. “No no! I just... forgot tointroduce myself. My wolf, he reminded me.”

She giggled and my heart started to hammer again in my chest.

“Logan. Logan Everfell.”

She stiffened. “You mean, Alpha Logan, from the Harvest Moon pack?”

I watched as her eyes flashed and her wolfs eyes replaced her own. She looked at me, for the firsttime. 1 could hear her heart speed up and she started to pull back against my hand but I refused tolet her go. She looked like she was ready to run and I wasn't going to lose her.

“I am but to you it will always be just Logan.”

She started to stammer, “I...I can't be a Luna, someone like me can't be a Luna...”

My anger flared up. “Someone like you? Someone the moon goddess picked out for mespecifically?”

“Broken...” Her voice was barely a whisper.

“You, my dear mate, are not broken. You have survived, and one day, I would like to know all whatyou have survived. But the fact that you are in front of me, means that you lived through all of it.And that kind of strength is what I need. What a Luna needs.”

I pulled her, hard, towards me and she stumbled on the grass. As soon as she fell against me, Iwrapped my arms around her and put my head against her. My 6'4" frame towered over her 56"but I kissed the top of her head and felt as a shiver went all the way down her body. No matterwhat, I wasn't letting my nymph go. Her hands came up and rested on my chest and she grabbedmy shirt in her hands. She was crying silently.

Picking her up bridal style, she let out a small squeak and I strode over to the Bugatti. I opened thedoor with one hand and set her down gently. Stealing a kiss on her cheek, I closed the door andquickly made my way to the drivers side. Getting in, I put my seatbelt on and checked to make sureshe had hers on.

“So where is this house of yours?” My voice sounded more confident than it was at this point.

“It's down the road, east.”

I nodded and started up the car. She jumped a little when the engine roared to life but I pulled outand headed down the road. We sat in silence except for directions she gave. I glanced at my nymphas often as I could, seeing her work through what had just happened. But I couldn't help it. I startedto smile. I had found her, and she was mine.
