Revenge of the Broken Luna novel Chapter 5

ELIOT

“What do you mean?” I couldn’t help but frown at her words. Why did she suddenly call off the plan that she made herself?

“Don’t you understand? I want to cancel our plan.”

I knew that. But why?

“I’m already here.”

“Then go home. You don’t need to be here anymore.” She said it without looking at me as if I wasn’t in this room. My hands coiled into fists as annoyance surged out of me.

“No. I’ll stay here.” I insisted. There was no way I would miss this opportunity to smell her. I needed to know if she was my mate so I could proceed with my plan. If she turned out not to be my fated mate, I would still choose her as my chosen one.

That was my plan.

“Whatever.”

My heart ached at that. Why was Hannah acting like this? Did something happen to her? What was it? Why didn’t she tell me?

Hannah and I had been friends for as long as I could remember about her. She was three years younger, but it couldn’t distance us from each other. I didn’t know precisely when I had her lingering in my head. Kai, too, agreed that we should mark her as ours. Even though she might not have her wolf and people were talking about her being unable to shift, though the time had come, it didn’t bother me. In fact, I didn’t care at all.

They could say that I was blind by love. Yeah, yeah. I loved her and only wanted her as my Luna. I thought she was perfect despite the imperfections she had.

We were silent for the rest of the breakfast. I was mustering all plausible reasons for her sudden change. She wasn’t like this when we said goodbye through a phone call last night. She sounded thrilled, one-eighty-degree from this.

My mind snapped back in place when I heard screeching as she stood up from her chair. She still didn’t want to look at me, which confused me more. What happened to her?

“Where are you going?” I grabbed her hand, stopping her in her tracks.

Hannah swung her hand to let go of my grip. “None of your business.”

I grabbed her hand again before she took a step away. This time, I pulled her, which made her turn around and face me. Finally, I could see her beautiful cerulean eyes. “Tell me what happened to you?”

She tried to release herself, but I didn’t budge. “Let me go.”

“I won’t before you tell me everything.”

She still tried but surrendered after knowing that her effort was useless. “Which one of my words you don’t understand? I don’t want you.”

I gritted my teeth as Kai wanted to take control of me. My wolf was raging in my head. “I want to know why. There must be a reason.”

“No. Nothing.” She replied almost immediately. “I just simply want a new life. Completely new without you or anyone.”

I raised one brow, doubting her statement. “Are you going to ditch your own family?”

She took a moment to think before speaking her rebuttal. “No. But I will leave this pack to start a new life.”

“Where will you go?”

“I don’t know yet, but definitely not your pack.” She answered with eyes glaring at me as if confronting me. “Better in the human world than yours.”
