His Blue Moon Princess
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 51

"You think this is too much?"

Daniel rolls his eyes at me. He's laying on our couch, surrounded by his notes for his presentation tomorrow about his samples or whatever. Meanwhile, I'm busy trying on a dress, something short and sexy. "Girl, you are too much. There's going to be a f*g riot if you walk around wearing that napkin on your booty."

"Danny, you're not helping. I just can't replace the right thing..."

"Moon Goddess, the guy has seen you n***d a hundred times! Why would he care if you're wearing Chanel's last season or a trash bag! We both know you're going to end up n**e anyway."

I throw my dress at him, annoyed.

"I haven't seen him in a week, Babe, and last time I did, I yelled at him."

"With valid reasons."

"With a schedule, Daniel."

"You should have kept with it! Every time, you take one step forward and two steps back with Black. You two are like magnets that just can't stay away from each other. It's painful to watch, I swear."

I sigh and look down at the pile of clothes at my feet. I turn to Daniel again, worried.

"You think I'm doing a mistake, right? Seeing him again?"

Daniel seems to hesitate for a bit, then shakes his head.

"Honestly, Black is still a hundred times better than Diego, so... I don't know, this is all super complicated. With the pack's stuff and all. I feel like I'm watching Romeo and Juliet, the modern and adult version."

He's not wrong, sadly. Whatever we will be doing tonight, we are not supposed to. I have to sneak out of our territory, and Nate has to avoid his Brothers. The worst thing is, I don't actually care about all that. I just want to see him, badly.

It's strange, but seeing Diego again has made me realize how much I love Nathaniel. As if the contrast between the two of them had made it more blatant. I growl and pick a white strass skirt. "This one?"

"Yeah, with your blue top and long earrings. Seriously, Elena, you have to be careful. Do you want me to accompany you to the border? I really don't like you going out like this when Diego is in the neighborhood. No one's telling that guy will listen to the Boss' order to leave you alone..."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. Can I borrow your jacket?"

I finish getting ready, sending glances at the clock from time to time. Damn, I can't hold still, and I'm an hour early! Nate proposed we meet at the Rain, the first Night Club we met at. It's deep in his territory, surprisingly. Is it because he can't get too far from the Hospital?

Boyan's recent texts explained the situation for both Daniel and I. The King finally found his lost mate. She's in critical condition, hence he and Nathaniel were appointed to watch her these last few days. Poor girl... At least she was finally found and reunited with her Fated Mate. I wonder what it's like, to be chosen as a King's partner.

Gloomy thoughts of Nate's former fated mate come to haunt me again. Moon Goddess, I hate to think about that...

I sigh and grab my keys, putting on my shoes.

"Babe, you're an hour early!" Exclaims Danny, shocked.

"I can have a drink while waiting, ok? And you need some calm to study, no?"

"Don't use me as your excuse, you impatient Babe!"

I stick my tongue out at him and leave the apartment. Daniel's not wrong, I'm just so excited and restless, I'm embarrassed at myself. I check my phone and Nate's text again, but nothing has changed.

I walk out to the parking lot, looking for Daniel's car when I suddenly hear a noise behind me. I turn around by reflex to check, and almost immediately, growl.

Diego's there, on a huge bike.

"Going somewhere, Love?"

Oh, Moon Goddess, I don't want to deal with that a*****e right now. I ignore him and keep walking to the car, a bit faster. I hear him loudly start his bike, and he suddenly rides right in front of me, so close he almost runs on my feet! "What the hell, Diego! f**k off!" I yell.

"You're well dressed, mi amor. Where are you going at this time?"

"It's none of your f*g business."

When is he going to understand I want him to leave me alone, for f**k's sake? I just can't stand the sight of him, why does he have to follow me all the way here!

"Tell me. I could accompany you there, we could talk."

I glare at him, using all of the hatred I have. My wolf is furious and growling too.

"I don't want to see you, I don't want to talk to you. f**k off, Diego, I can even say it in Spanish if you get it better that way! Vete a la mierda! Joderte!" "Wow, calm down amor."

"Don't ask me to calm down! I can't stand you, why the hell can't you leave me alone!"

"Really? That's all you have? What, you're going to ignore me? Until when? This pissed off act will stand long? Can't we talk?"

"Moon Goddess, I made it clear, Diego, I have nothing to talk to you about! I'm so done with you and your s**t! I've moved on! From you, and everything!"

He growls, and I have to take a step back by caution.

"You're my girlfriend, Elena. Just because we fought, doesn't mean we..."

I laugh. It's nervous and irrepressible. Does he have any idea how ridiculous he is right now? I need a minute to calm down, while Diego is staring at me with shocked eyes.

"I was your girlfriend, Diego. We are done. Do you get that? You and I, it ended five years ago. I am not that girl who needed you all the time and was crazy about you. I've moved on, I don't need or want you anymore in my life. Actually, I want you to stay the furthest away from me, get it?"

He growls, seriously pissed this time.

"Is that what you want to say? Do you expect me to believe this? This ridiculous grown woman act? Who are you kidding, Elena? You love me. You're obsessed with me, that's why you're still so mad at me, you..."

"I'm mad at the man who killed my child!" I scream. "I went to jail for what I did! Yes, I am fg mad for ever loving a jerk like you! But guess what? It's. fg. Over. Carve that in your thick skull, Diego, you're nothing but a bastard from my past for me, you get it? You think I still love you, really? I have some breaking news: I'm over you!"

Before I can't even react, Diego suddenly grabs my wrist and tightens his grip so strong I cry out. I react with a pure shot of adrenaline and use my free elbow to give him a hit in the solar plexus. He lets go by surprise, and I take a few steps back, raising my fights, ready to fight if he wants to. He stands up from his bike, and I think he's about to hit me, but someone suddenly grabs my shoulder to pull me back.

"Levi!"

Daniel and Levi ran over, one holding me and the other in-between me and Diego. Levi is growling furiously at my ex.

"Last f*

g warning, Diego. You get away from here right now."
"What... You're acting as the Prince Charming again, Levi? Ready to be the good puppy, as always?" Snickers Diego.

But Daniel's brother is too smart to get into Diego's petty provocations. Instead, he takes a step back and suddenly puts his arm around my shoulder.

"I told you to stay the f**k away from Elena. Get close to my princess again and I'll rip your head off, Diego, Alpha or not."

I finally see a hint of doubt in Diego's eyes. He goes back and forth between Levi and I, and I finally get it. He's wondering if Levi's my boyfriend now.

"Yeah, she's moved on, dickhead," adds Daniel, with a smirk.

What are those two playing at!

What the heck are you i***t brothers doing?

This guy won't leave you alone. And we can't exactly tell him whom you've really been seeing, right?

It's fine, Elena. Just play the part until that i***t gets away.

"Are you going to ruin date night or do I have to chase you out?" Growls Levi.

I can't believe they are pulling that kind of cheap play. This is so freaking ridiculous. Why do I have to play pretend with Levi just so Diego will leave me alone? Damn, that jerk really hurt my wrist... "You're lying..." mutters Diego, suspicious.

"That's how it is. I told you, I moved on. Now f**k the hell off before I call Clark for real."

I don't like the idea, but if that can help get him off of me... Levi growls after Diego, as a warning. My ex keeps looking at us, suspicious, before starting his bike and finally getting away. I feel like this isn't over, but... I let out a big sigh, and turn to Levi. "Thanks... What are you doing here?"

"I came to drop Danny's books by your place. I heard you arguing with that jackass... Are you okay?"

I check my wrist. Damn, it's red and swollen. That jerk almost broke my bone...

"I'm okay, it should be healed in a few days..."

"No, no, Babe, let me get at least a bandage upstairs!"

Daniel runs off to our place to get the first aid kit, and I sit against the car with Levi. I sigh.

"That was a stupid lie, Lev."

"Oh, whatever. As long as it can get him off your back..."

It would be that simple if only I wasn't aware of Levi's feelings for me. We've never talked about it, but we both know that I know. He's just way too nice and understanding to voice it out loud, and I'm too much of a coward to face it... "Where are you going out?"

I nod. Levi is turning a blind out on my little outings to the Velvet Moon Territory. I don't know how we convinced him to ignore it, but he never mentions Nate and just helps cover up for me...

"I'll accompany you to the border?"

"What?"

But before he can answer, Daniel comes back and helps me bandage my painful wrist. I hope I hurt him with my elbow, that dickhead! Once I'm bandaged, Levi insists to drive me there. We take Danny's car and chat about trivial stuff until we get to the Club. I don't feel too good about Levi being there. He should not, even less than me. Hopefully, no one will say a thing...

"Thank you for the drive..."

"Do you want me to come to pick you up later?"

"Don't worry Lev, I'll text Danny. Goodnight?"

"Goodnight, Princess."

I give him a smile before leaving the car and watch him drive away. Gosh, what are you thinking, Levi? This was a bit awkward... I wish I could always see him just as an older brother.

I walk off to the club. Despite that stupid encounter with Diego, I'm still about twenty minutes early... I keep looking at my phone, but I don't have any news from Nate. I order a drink, and head off upstairs. I don't even have to ask or hesitate now, the staff knows who I am. What a change compared to my first time here...

To my surprise, the VIP floor is crowded. There might be a special event or something, a lot of people are here and well dressed. Thank Moon Goddess I picked one of my fanciest skirts... I'm bored and sipping my cocktail when I suddenly feel two arms around me. "Moon Goddess, I missed you..."

Nate's lips are already on my shoulder, kissing me restlessly from behind, all the way to my neck. He doesn't even seem to care about the crowd around us, he is covering my skin in kisses, caressing my arms and holding me close. Moon Goddess, I missed him too... I turn around and shamelessly kiss him, feeling the taste of his lips for the first time since what seems like forever. He suddenly stops and growls.

"What's that smell?"

"What?"

"You have another man's smell on you,", he growls, frowning.

s**t, probably Levi's... With his arm around me earlier it can only be him. Wait, does that really matter now? I put my glass down on a table and grab Nate's shirt.

"Just a friend, Nate."

"Your friends hug you often?"

I roll my eyes at him. Really? Now?

"Seriously Nate, let it go, I've had enough jealousy disputes for today!"

"What, what jealousy disputes? With whom? Your ex? Is that his?"

I grab his collar and pull him behind me, all the way to the bathroom. It's so not classy, but I growl after two girls who were arranging their make up for them to leave us alone. At least now I don't have to yell over the crowd and the music. "No, my ex hasn't touched me except for this!" I growl, showing him my injured wrist.

Nathaniel immediately frowns, and I hear his wolf growling in anger. He takes my hand to watch my injury, but I keep it away.

"He did this? Your ex?"

s**t, I should have kept quiet about that. I sigh and decide to tell him the truth.

"Yes, he did. I told him to leave me alone, he didn't like it, and Levi intervened to help me so Diego would back off. That's it. Happy?"

"No."

Of course, he's even angrier now. I can't believe we are having an argument about that... I wanted to see him again and have a good time, not talk about Diego or Levi!

"I told you I had issues with my Pack, Nate. I'll deal with it, okay?"

"He f*g hurt you, Elena. Don't tell me you can handle that kind of a*****e who does this to you!"

s*t, why does he have to get so protective now... I put my arms around his neck, and kiss him. I know I'm cheating, he just can't refuse me. And I'm right. After insisting a bit, Nate puts his arm around my waist, a hand on my as, and kisses me back.

I missed him so much... I kiss him back hungrily, caressing his neck and grabbing his hair, feeling the heat rising. I want him. I feel him pushing a hand under my top, caressing my back, looking for my skin to touch.

I catch my breath a second, but Moon Goddess that's not going to last.

"Tell me there's a lock on that door," I whisper.

I feel him snicker against my lips, and his hands raise my skirt up.

"No one will come," he promises while touching me.

I gasp.
