His Blue Moon Princess
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 56

I need to go back but f**k, I'm only wearing that stupid sweater! Nevermind, I can always shapeshift. "Elena, stop, let me speak!"

"You had days to speak, Nate! But every time I called, you were busy! Now I know what kind of busy!" "It's not what you think, okay?"

He follows me into the elevator. I'm thinking about throwing him out for a while, but it's his place, I can't just push him out. Nevermind, it's only a matter of seconds before I'm out of this place anyway.

I just cross my arms and stay my eyes fixated on the wall, ignoring him. Nathaniel takes his chance to speak anyway.

"I have no idea what Narcissa is doing here, okay?"

"How, she mysteriously got into your place, where you supposedly never invite anyone but me and your brothers? Are you going to tell me she teleported here, or got your keys by mistake? How stupid do you think I am!" "I don't know! Someone must have let her in, but..."

"Oh, shut up Nate, can't you just admit you're seeing someone else?"

He becomes red with anger, slamming the elevator's wall next to me. Damn Alpha, I'm seeing red too, and my wolf is angry at him, growling furiously. She feels betrayed, and so do I.

"I am not! You're the only one I..."

"Tell me you never had s*x with her," I suddenly ask, looking at him right in the eyes.

For a second, he's taken by surprise and stays silent, visibly shaken. Moon Goddess, I knew it... I'm so f*****g stupid.

"That was before I met you, Elena," he answers very seriously.

"Before and after, I suppose. You could have just told me if you were bored with me, Nate."

"I am not bored with you!"

"You ignore me for days with stupid excuses about being busy and when I finally cross two territories to talk to you, you happen to have an ex-girlfriend in your flat! Seriously, how do you expect me to believe you?" "She was never my girlfriend, only a s*x friend...!"

"For Moon Goddess' sake, Nate, just shut up!"

I push him out of the way and exit the elevator, angry like never before. Moon Goddess, how could I be so stupid to not see what a player he was! Only a few days and he sleeps with someone else? I'm such an i***t! "Elena, if you would just listen..."

I turn around and growl at him once more. I'm pissed, angry and I don't want to listen to him and his stupid excuses!

"I don't want to listen, Nate. If you wanted to f**k someone else, you could have told me we were over, not just ignore me like to high school brat!"

"What about you then! You're the only one who gets to play around with other guys, and I have to just wait?"

I stop, completely lost. What the hell is he talking about? I made it pretty clear I was doing anything but get involved with Diego!

"Excuse me?"

He suddenly rolls his eyes and takes out his phone, showing me a picture. What the... Why the hell does he have a picture of me and Levi kissing?

"What is this then?" He asks, furious. "I thought you were over with your ex? It doesn't seem so!"

"It's not Diego, you big i***t, it's Levi, Daniel's brother!"

Nathaniel shakes his head in disbelief. I let out a big sigh. Why am I the one justifying myself right now? I'm not the one with a s*x friend waiting upstairs in a f*****g sexy black dress!

"So, even your best friend's brother, now?"""

Moon Goddess, if I wasn't repressing myself and my wolf right now I would slap him! What's that look he's giving me!

"I never slept with Levi, what the hell are you thinking, he's like a brother to me!"

"That didn't prevent you from kissing him!"

"That wasn't real, Nate! Levi is passing as my boyfriend so that Diego would leave me alone!"

I can see the shock on his face. Yeah, I guess he didn't expect that. That was a shitty plan, but the only one that worked. Either Diego believed it or not, at least he backed off a little when Levi was around. "Why would you do that?"

"Because Diego is a f*****g psycho, and that was the only idea I had for him to back off, Nate!"

"So you picked your best friend's brother? And he believed it?"

"Yes, we have been pretending for a week and that's working, for now," I sigh, exhausted by this fight.

"So, there's nothing between you and that guy, Levi?"

"Of course not..."

"He doesn't like you?"

I freeze. Oh, damn it. If only I had ignored that question. Nathaniel looks like he is about to vomit, and takes one more look at the picture.

"So, you're pretending to go out with a guy. Who's in love with you."

"Stop that, Nathaniel. Levi knows perfectly I don't love him back."

"Certainly. Your brother's best friend, you probably don't let any ambiguity besides kissing him and pretending to..."

"Levi knows I don't have any feelings for him, Nate! Enough! Moreover, he knows I'm sleeping with you, okay?"

"You said only Daniel and Boyan knew!"

"Well, Levi knows too, okay? He overheard Daniel and I, early this summer! So yes, Levi knows I'm sleeping with you and he's covering up for me because guess what? He's my only believable boyfriend!"

"So you're happily kissing him and going out with him when I'm not available I guess..."Growls Nate.

Moon Goddess, why is he the one having a jealousy tantrum now? I didn't come here to explain myself!

"Well, we could have held hands but we are not five years old and Diego isn't a f*****g i***t, Nate."

"So you choose a guy who loves you to pass for your boyfriend instead..."

"Yes, I f*****g did! Because I can't have you do it for me, so guess what? I had to sort things out by myself with who I could, and Levi knew that! You know us being from different packs wasn't going to make things easy, well here we go! Now, if you're done questioning me, you can go back to that w***e waiting for you upstairs! And tell your brothers, your beta or whoever took that to f*****g stop watching me!"

I can't believe he is still monitoring me! How the hell did he even get that damn picture? It had to be taken from our territory!

He doesn't reply back and I run away as fast as I can, shape-shifting half-way. I hear him call my name, but I'm too fast and far already. I just can't believe him! That jerk! I'm so disappointed... Who was that woman anyway? Could it be she's not the only one he's been seeing? Who can tell what he's been doing behind my back...?

I finally reach our border, without trouble. I can't believe how easily I got in and out! No one bothered me, I only watched out when entering back our White Moon territory... I run to get my backpack back and finally head home. I really hope Daniel hasn't noticed my absence...

Too bad, he's home when I enter. Crap. He's changed in his overall, his hair tied and glaring at me from behind his glasses. I feel like a kid caught stealing when he's glaring at me like that. I sigh. "Sorry..."

"Seriously, Elena? What happened to your promise to go straight home, huh?"

He gets up from the couch, arms crossed, waiting for my explanation. Shit... I head to the kitchen to get some coffee when I spot his teapot. I suddenly remember Sylviana's words, and how it all started.

"Daniel, I really need to talk to you and for you to listen only for like ten minutes, please."

He looks at me, surprised by my guts.

"Seriously, Whitewood?"

"Daniel, I'm serious. Ten minutes."

He rolls his eyes and goes back to the couch to listen, still frowning behind his glasses.

"All right. But after that, I'm giving you a hell of a scolding, Elena."

I sigh, drink a bit of coffee and tell him everything. My encounter with Reagan at the cemetery, Sylviana's weird attitude, how I suddenly went to the Jade Moon Clan, my encounter with that girl Nora and the strange feeling I got from it.

Daniel is about to talk or has weird expressions several times while listening to me, but he actually manages to hold back and stay quiet. Then, I tell him about how I briefly met Liam Black and the whole episode with Nathaniel. I see him go white when I tell him about the woman and our fight.

I don't know when I started to cry. I only realize I'm crying because he hands me a tissue in the middle of my monologue and the salty taste on my tongue. It's hard to breathe, sob and still talk at the same time, but I don't want to stop until I'm done. I keep telling him everything until the point when I returned to our territory. By that time, I'm crying loudly and shaking.

Daniel's anger has died while watching me cry.

"Babe..."

"I just... I feel like I had a nightmare, Danny. How could he do that!"

"I know... Men are jerks, okay? But... how did he get that picture?"

I roll my eyes. Who cares about that stupid picture! That's not the point here! But Daniel shakes his head, putting his hand on my knee to comfort me.

"No, Elena, seriously, don't you think that's odd? He never knew about what happened here before. You told me he only accessed your police records, right? He didn't even know who Levi was until now, and aside from me, my brother is someone you hang out with a lot. Shouldn't he have learned about him sooner? And how would someone from his pack get..."

"Danny, I don't give a damn how he got that picture, okay? Did you miss the part where he was with that..."

"No, I get you, Babe. I really do. But doesn't this seem a bit too big for you? A pretty chick waiting at his place right when you come? It looks like a movie to me."

"What movie, she wasn't there at the right time, Danny, maybe it's even a regular thing since he got tired of me! He even admitted he's been with her before!" "True..." sighs Danny.

I try hard to stop crying. Gosh, when was the last time I bawled out like that? I'm feeling so childish and stupid right now... I try to dry my tears until I'm out of tissues and Daniel makes me some tea.

"Okay, putting that jerk aside, Elena, what was that thing with that girl, Nora?"

"I don't know, I had a really weird feeling when I saw her, like a deja vu, you know? As if I knew her from somewhere."

"That would be weird if she's from the Jade Moon Clan... And they kept her locked in a freaking basement, too? The King is going to wipe the floor with their limbs!"

"Well, I really couldn't care less about the Jade Moon, but it was already a bloodbath when I got there... Even your boyfriend had a bite, you know. Quite literally."

"That's my man," says Danny with a little smile.

Look at him. He was so unhappy with Boyan not too long ago...

"Danny, I need to see her again."

"What? That chick, Nora? Elena, she's the King's mate, you can't visit her like you visited Nathaniel, you know?" She's probably going to be watched like the Pope! And after that fight you had, I'm pretty sure your man is not going to watch your a*s if you get caught! Moreover, Xavier and Clark are watching you, remember that? Reagan, too! No, no, bad idea Babe."

"But Bobo..."

"Bobo is too busy watching her to even answer my texts! He's probably guarding that kid all day and night. Not that I'm jealous, but even I wouldn't be able to get close!"

I frown.

No, I'm pretty sure that's not impossible. My instincts and my wolf are telling me to see that girl again, and I really need to. I gotta figure out what was that odd feeling I had with her... "Babe, your phone..."

I notice my phone's been vibrating in my bag. I grab it, and frown. f**k, it's Nathaniel... Really, what does he want now? I hang up. I don't care what he has to say, I'm certainly not in the mood for it. Daniel, who saw the name too, sighs.

"Damn, you two have one hell of a complicated relationship... I don't even need to watch tv anymore."

"Great to know I'm entertaining you..."

"Don't be angry, Babe, you know what I mean. You got a fiery personality, and Black is not making it easy either, okay?"

"I'm so tired of trying to work things out... He even got jealous of Levi, seriously!"

"Well, I can understand that. Levi loves you, you both know it. If he has any kind of feelings for you, he shouldn't appreciate that you're passing a guy who has a crush on you as your boyfriend."

"That was your idea!" I reply, annoyed.

"I know, but I was putting your safety first, okay? Diego is still as crazy as f**k. But, I also understand Black's concerns. But guess what? I don't think you have a choice, and he just doesn't get that. He doesn't know how crazy and dangerous Diego is, even if he's been quiet these days."

Daniel's right. Actually, I feel like Diego has been too quiet these days, and it's worrying. I sigh and grab his cup of coffee, tired of the tea, but I frown as soon as I taste it.

"Daniel, you have to stop changing our coffee brands, this one tastes disgusting."

"No one likes salty coffee, babe. Just leave it, I'll make you some more tea."

I sigh and put the cup down. I'm tired and sad. It's like I'll never see the end of that black hole of a relationship with Nate. I close my eyes, letting out a big sigh.

"You know Danny, maybe you were right. Maybe I should have never accepted his deal in the first place."

"Okay, so do I have to answer that or will an I told you so will suffice?" He says with a smirk.

I growl at him, a bit pissed. He comes back with my lemon-flavored tea. Damn, that smells a whole lot better.

"All right, Babe. You know what, let's do this. You cool down for a few days, focus on school and training. Ignore Black, give him a taste of his own medicine, see how he reacts. Meanwhile, I'll try to get a hold of my man, and know more about that Nora girl, okay?" "Fine... But I want to ask Reagan."

Daniel scratches his head.

"Why Reagan? I thought she was avoiding you?"

"I don't know... I just have a feeling, you know? That she might know something about that girl."

"Well, you can always try. How about asking Eric if he can dig more about her, too? Being friends with a cop should be worth something at times like this."

"Yeah, fine, I'll text Eric and..."

My phone vibrates again. I sigh. Daniel walks over and grabs it. I thought he was going to block Nathaniel or something, but to my surprise, he actually answers!!

"Hello, this is Daniel Lewis, her best and oldest friend. First, Elena is not available at the moment and she won't be for a while. Second, Levi is my older brother and no, there is nothing Elena has done with my brother that she should apologize for. Third, if you're cheating on my Babe with another b***h, you're an a*s and you don't deserve her. Fourth, she has enough with her jackass ex to deal with, so don't be a pushy jerk and deal with your s**t before coming back to her. I'm done, so don't call back. Bye and have a nice day."

He hangs up and hands me the phone with a satisfied look.

"Here you go, Babe. Done."

I'm speechless.
