The Rejected Luna: Daddy, Where is Mommy?
Chapter 12: Restless as well as excited

Five fucking days had passed, but Ethlyn couldn't replace any clue about the villain of her life, and thefact that she was searching everything that late that there was a big chance that the villain of her lifemight have erased all the proof that she could use against him or her.

“Ethlyn... Ethlyn!l”

"Yes!" Ethlyn said, looking around and replaceing Nathan sitting beside her. “Hey!! When did youcome?”

"When you were lost in your own thoughts.” Nathan smiled, but Ethlyn didn’t smile at him back. Shejust couldn't. “How are you feeling now?”

“Wondering what would have happened the night on which I got pregnant?” Ethlyn spoke andlooked at him. “Have you...

“Did the doctor ask you to rest as much as possible rather than stressing yourself over the past?”Nathan asked, cutting her in between.

"How can you ask me to rest when the person who destroyed my life is roaming freely in the packor outside the pack?” Ethlyn exclaimed.

“You're overthinking. The person who destroyed your life is none other than you. Both your momand I saw how you walked into the other person's room on your own. So, stop looking for a personon whom you can put all the blame. You made a mistake and accepted it. There is nothing wrong inaccepting the mistake.” Nathan said, explaining to her calmly, on which Ethlyn stood up on her feet,shaking her head.

"And mom was saying that we should think about giving each other a second chance. But I don'tthink that without trust, we should waste our time in a second chance.”

Nathan held her hand and made her sit beside him again, “Fine!! I'm sorry.”

"You're sorry; neither could bring my pup back to me nor make me forget your heartbreakingwords." Ethlyn thought.

“By the way, there is a tiny little chance that Reva can replace her mate,” Nathan said, changing thetopic on which Ethlyn furrowed her eyes. “This is just a guess. I'm not sure about it. Whatever washappening in your family, because of that, she never attended the mating ball after turningeighteen. So, tomorrow the beta of the Blood Moon Pack is arriving here in search of his mate.”“So, you think that he can be Reva’s mate?”

"Maybe. There is nothing to assume. He can't also be her mate as well.” Nathan said, shrugging hisshoulder. “She-wolf who lives in a pack starts meeting their mate just after attending eighteen yearsold. Even you have found it, haven't you?”

"Hmm." Ethlyn nodded her head. “If he will be Reva’s mate, then I will make sure to test him properlyso that he won't insult my sister and leave her at her vulnerable stage. She thought.

“Who was the person with whom I slept?” Ethlyn asked, reaching back to her previous topic.“Ethlyn, I now know that you didn’t cheat on me, but it was just an accident.”

“That's not the answer to my question.” She said sternly. If Nathan would have heard Roselet'sconversation, even then, he would have observed that even Roselet used to speak the same linewhen she didn't receive the answer to her question.

"Alpha of Blood Moon Pack.”

“The same Blood Moon Pack from this Beta is coming?”

"Yes, the same Blood Moon.” Nathan agreed on which Ethlyn clenched her jaw. “Now, don't startgetting mad at each and every pack member of the Blood Moon Pack for whatever happened in thepast because it was your mistake that you went in his room. He didn't come into your room.”“Really? Everything is my mistake, then where the hell was you when I was in heat that night?”Ethlyn questioned him in anger.

“Mind your tone, Ethlyn. I'm the Alpha of the pack, and I won't accept you are disrespecting me. I'mtrying to mold our relationship, but you're getting mad at me as if I did something wrong with you.And I didn't know you were in heat that night. You couldnt handle yourself after a couple of drinks.That's why I brought you our room and returned back to the ball.”

"And you never came back from the ball to check on me? Huh? Where were you that night, then?You told me previously that you were with me that night. Hmm? When I woke up in the morning, Ifound some money on the table, which you accepted, leaving for me so that I could reach the packby taxi as you had to leave for another pack as soon as possible.” Ethlyn bombarded a number ofquestions on Nathan.

“Where were you, Nathan, that night? Tell me the truth, now. Because then, you agreed to be withme. Not just that, you also knew that... that I slept with someone else, didn’t you?”

“Hell, No!! I didn’t know about you sharing...” Nathan didn’t complete the sentence. “I can neverstoop that low, Ethlyn.”

“Then where were you, Nathan? I want to know.” Ethlyn demanded. Nathan opened his mouth toanswer her, but no words came out of his mouth. “What were you doing that your wolf couldn'tsense the danger around me? I agree that we weren't marked then, but the sixth sense of a wolfalways starts working in case of any danger around his/her mate.”

“I told you that I was out of pack works.”

"What kind of work were you doing that night?” Ethlyn questioned. “Were you with some womanthat night?” She asked without thinking.

Ethlyn chuckled, laughing at her own situation. “A man is allowed to cheat on his woman, but thesame woman can't do the same with her man even by mistake.”

“Ethlyn...”

"Open your mouth only when you can speak the truth,” Ethlyn said, and when Nathan didn't openhis mouth, she left from there.

“Loyal men are almost NIL in this generation.’ She thought, and surprisingly, she didn't feel any painafter replaceing out about Nathan's betrayal. Maybe all her feelings died the day when he rejected her.After reaching home, she sat in the living room, thinking about everything. At the same time, shesaw Reva roaming in the kitchen and looking for something. She grabbed the leftover food andafter started serving it on the plate.

"What happened, Ethlyn? Why are you sitting in the dark?” She questioned, feeling a pair of eyes onher.

“Because that's what my life is now.” She mumbled, and Reva reached near her with a plate in herhand and switched on the lamp.

“Nonsense. Stop thinking in a negative way. All you need to grab the hand that will pull you out ofthis darkness, but you're not ready to grab anyone's hand.” Reva pointed out, having her dinner forthe second time. “I know mom is acting cupid between you and Nathan and also wants you two toget together again, hoping he to be that person who will pull you out of this darkness. But I want toask whether it is working?”

“I don't want to talk about it. Tell me, why are you eating dinner twice?" Ethlyn asked, changing thetopic.

"Ahh! About that... my wolf is restless. I don't know why.” Reva responded, eating the food. “Andyou know, whenever I'm stressed by thinking something, then I eat. I don't understand what ismaking my wolf so restless. I hope it will get better by morning.”

“What... what kind of vibes is she getting?”

“Nothing,” Reva responded. “That's why I'm stressed, wondering whether it is good news or bad. Ijust hope it to be good because happiness has just arrived at our home, and I don’t want todisappear again. Last time, we were so happy, and it turned out that it was a nightmare for all of us.I don't want any shock in our life again.”

“I think I know why your wolf is feeling restless,” Ethlyn replied, to which Reva stopped eating andwaited for her to continue. “I'm not hundred percent sure, Reva, but there is a chance that you'regoing to meet your mate, and with each passing moment, this feeling will start growing, not untilyou finally meet him for real.”

“My mate?” Reva smiled, placing her plate aside. “He is coming here? In search of me?” She asked inexcitement. “Moon Goddess! I hope this comes to be true. Is... is someone arriving in the pack insearch of his mate or some pack meeting?”

"Umm... yeah!! Nathan told me that someone was coming in search of his mate. So, maybe he willbe your mate, or someone accompanying him can be your mate.” Ethlyn said, on which Revahowled in joy, waking everyone.

“What happened, Princess?” Christian asked after listening to Reva's howl, which sounded like shewas excited and happy.

“What is the good news? Did Nathan ask Ethlyn for marriage again?” Abigail asked.

“Mom, Did you buy me from the market? Sometimes it's about me as well.” Reva reminded her,frowning. “Anyways, I guess I'm going to meet my mate. For the past two years, I wasn't attendingthe mating ball because I didn't want to replace my mate and settle with him; at that time, my familywas my first priority, but now... now it looks like its the time.” She added and started dancing.“Finally, my biggest tension will be gone,” Christian teased and joined her in her dance.“Dadddddd” Reva whined

"Awww!! I love you.” He said, hugging her. At the same time, they were busy enjoying this moment.Ethlyn was scared of negative thoughts that she had inbuilt into her mind, while Abigail hoped herdaughter to be blessed with an Alpha mate.

“Join us, Mom!! Ethlyn!!”

“Mommy, we are going to meet soon.’ Roselet thought in her mind, looking at the big mountain infront of her. Zordan informed her that her mommy's pack was on the top of the mountain.

“Ready for trekking?” Zordan teased her.

“I'm a baby. You will carry me, Uncle Zordy.” She pouted, looking at the height.

"Ahh! Now, you have become a baby? Huh!" he asked. “Come here!!” he said and lifted her in hisarms.

"Why are you not shifting? In that way, we can reach there faster than this trekking.” Roselet asked.“Because you have a habit of sitting on wolf in the plain ground. You might fall down from my backwhen I will run toward up, and that is the last thing I want. That's why we will trek.” He replied,looking at the four best warriors of the pack. “And you can sleep in my arms if possible, okay?”“No. I will stay awake. I have to meet her.” She said in an excited tone. It was a journey of around sixto seven hours of walking, or three to four hours by climbing straight on the mountain. Zordancursed mentally for the non-availability of the car in that area, but then they all got habitual to thehuman technologies by staying near the city.

After a few hours, Roselet started snoring softly.

"And someone was saying that she will stay awake.” Lemieux joked softly. He was her personalbodyguard who had no other work than looking after Roselet. Zordan smiled, looking at Roselet. Tobe honest, he was more excited to reach up as soon as possible because of his wolf, who wasrestless as well as excited.
