Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 19

*****Erika's POV*****

She rushed over to me and pulled me into a hug.

"Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry Darling. I came as soon as I heard...."

"Heard of the mate bond dissolution or that I just returned?" I asked her, hugging her back.

"I’m sorry darling that I was not there to stand as an emotional support during the dissolution, but I’m happy Paula was there. At least, you had one of us." She placed wild kisses on my face which made me laugh.

My crazy friends.

"Actually, I wasn't there.” Paula told her, as she sat up from the bed to wrap Katherina in a warm hug.

"And Hello, Kat"

"Hello, Paul's. You just came?" She studied Paula’s dark blue denim and a cropped, turtle necked top.

"Nah, I’ve been here a while" She informed her.

Kat grinned. “You look good, as always"

Paula grinned. "So do you"

"You girls, I’m here. I’m the reason for the moment" I pouted, but they knew I was joking. I was happy to have two of my friends in here with me, especially Kat, after such a long time.

Katherina had been my best friend from childhood, we did almost everything together and she was everything I was not.

Sassy, outspoken, funny and can be vicious when the occasion called for it.

She had complemented my quiet, reserved self. My father had given our relationship a thumbs up not because I needed his approval to have friends, but he liked the fact that Katherina was everything his daughter was not.

He saw It as a perfect combination.

Fire and Ice.

Well, Paula was actually the Ice if truth were to be told, she could be cold and fierce, while Kat was the fiery furnace that could burn dangerously when tampered with.

I was somewhere between.

Kat and I had grown up together and imagine my happiness when I found out she was going to be a permanent part of my family as she was mated to Jace, my step brother.

Though the fool had refused to accept her.

I had stepped into the Moon Forest Pack and I had met Paula.

At first glance, I thought she was going to be this cold, distant bitch to me, but she had surprised me by making life bearable for me, especially when Alex was making me sad and causing me pain through his nonchalant attitude towards me and his disregard towards our mate bond.

The first time I had gone out with Paula to meet Kat in secret, that was the day she’d known my secret as the daughter of the Alpha of the most strongest and powerful pack.

I was scared she might not be able to keep it safe but for three years she had proven her loyalty as my best friend.

And what was more, Kat and Paula had liked each other on the spot which had scared me because I had thought I would have had different lives with each of my best friend.

"You’ll be fine, we’re here to make sure you are" Kat said, unzipping her dress and stepping out of it.

Cladded in just her mismatched but finely designed underwear, she jumped on my bed.

My bed was big enough to accommodate the three of us comfortably.

I picked up her dress and draped it on one of the sofas.

The door suddnely opened to reveal Jace. "I thought as much" He said as he stepped in.

"You should have knocked!"
