Draco was concerned about his mate, who had been acting strangely for the past week. She was depressed after learning of her stepfather's death and the events that led up to it.
For a few days, Alyssa and Juliet were both sad, but they realized that they couldn't change it and that they couldn't get their father back.
Juliet and Alyssa had never said no to the boys and had always accompanied them, so they knew it wasn't their fault. However, they weren't blaming Luna for it because they knew she was just concerned for them.
Luna sighed as she went to sleep, but every time she did, she had a horrific dream of everyone abandoning her because she was the cause of her father's death, which wasn't the truth at all.
“Baby, are you okay?” Draco questioned as he sat on the bed and touched Luna’s forehead to check her temperature when Luna suddenly hugged him.
“Draco, I am scared” Luna whispered with her breathing uneven which made Draco sigh as he hugged her back.
“You got nothing to be scared of my love. I won’t let you go and that is my promise to you” Draco whispered in Luna’s ear as she questioned “You are saying this now but what if you all abandon me? I won’t have anyone to return to” which made Draco sigh.
“My beautiful moon, you have me and no matter who is against you, I will always stand beside you to protect you” Draco replied as he kissed Luna’s forehead while she whispered out “My dad died”
“I know he died but he loves you dearly. He would never want you to be depressed over something so small” Draco spoke as he made Luna sit on his lap while he rubbed her back soothingly.
“Can we go to the human world for a while? I want to get the supernatural thing out of my mind and relax in my hometown” Luna questioned as Draco sighed while he smiled and questioned “Have I ever said no to you?” which made Luna feel relaxed as she shook her head.
“That is why start packing. We will leave soon.” Draco patted Luna’s head as she hugged him tightly while she questioned “Are you sure?”
“I am sure so quickly start packing. I will go and inform the others” Draco answered as he stood up and stretched.
Draco kissed Luna’s forehead and walked out of their room. He was quite worried for his mate but didn’t want to show her to make her even sadder.
The silence was killing Draco as he hoped that his parents say yes when he reached his parents’ room. The door was open so he stepped in to hear his parents who were discussing another ball that was supposed to happen soon.
“Mom”
“Dad”
Draco spoke as they gestured him to come in so he sat on the sofa and hoped everything goes well.
“Everything okay son?” Michael spoke worried as he gestured Draco to sit.
“Dad, I would like to have your and mom’s permission to go to the human world for three days only” Draco spoke as he sat on the sofa sighing and hoping his parents agree since it was all too sudden.
“And why do you want to leave so urgently?” Victoria spoke even though they would never say no since they knew Draco was a responsible person.
“Luna isn’t feeling well. She keeps on blaming herself for things she never did and that worries me a lot. Luna asked me if we can go to her hometown and I said yes because I think staying there will bring back good memories” Draco explained as he rubbed his face all stressed out since he loved his mate dearly who was going through all this.
“That is a good decision. I give you both my blessing and I hope you both return safely and happily” Victoria spoke as she sat next to Draco and held his hand smiling.
“Watch out for enemies and keep your mate safe also return before the ball,” Michael spoke as he ruffled Draco’s hair who hummed smiling.
“I promise I will keep Luna safe” Draco promised as he stood up happily which made his mother giggle.
“It’s your duty to keep her safe” Michael pushed Draco a little teasingly as Draco chuckled nodding his head.
“Return back to us soon and make sure Luna stays happy.” Victoria smiled as she stared at her son who smiled back and nodded his head.
“Be back before the ball because you have to discuss the guest list with your brothers” Michael spoke as Draco nodded his head understandingly.
“Can’t Lou and Ron just select the guests?” Draco questioned as Michael shook his head.
“They can but don’t you want to re-check?” Michael now questioned as Draco sighed.
“I wouldn’t mind dad but I am always on the guards and warrior duty with Jace which is better than all the other work” Draco shrugged his shoulder hoping his dad doesn’t mind.
“Okay fine. I will leave the guard duty on you. Your cousin can take care of it until you return” Michael cared a lot for Luna and Draco so he didn’t want to stop them from going and enjoying their trip to the human world.
“You can stay for a week if you want but just return home safely and don’t do anything reckless” Victoria kissed Draco’s forehead as he chuckled nodding his head.
“I will try my best to make sure Luna and I stay away from danger” Draco spoke as he waved at his parents who closed the door after Draco stepped out of the room.
Draco closed his eyes as he felt the presence of his cousin and siblings with their mates so he quickly walked towards the dining room.
“Hey guys” Draco greeted as they all faced him while they greeted back.
“Yo look who finally decided to show his face” Ronin teased as Jace paused the horror movie they were all watching together.
"I'm sorry, but Luna is really sad," Draco said sadly as he sat next to Alexander, who was now holding Draco's hand.
“I hope she gets well soon” Alexander spoke softly as he smiled at Draco who smiled back at him.
“Isn’t there any way we can help her?” Jace questioned worried since he wanted to help his cousin who always helped him.
“I asked my parents’ permission and I will be taking her to the human world,” Draco told Jace who hummed understandingly.
“Seriously? You aren’t lying?” Alyssa questioned as Draco nodded his head.
