Chapter 2 LEAVING

She had that far away look in her eyes as the bus sped away to a destination she had decided to go and never to return.

Leaving Silver Furs Pack seems like the best decision she had ever taken but as the bus drove off.

She remembered that night like it was yesterday, how he held her and made her face feel so special that night. She smiled at the memory and shook her head gently as if shaking her head could wipe out the memory which still lingered at the side of her head.

"You look so beautiful tonight." He had said to her that night after their family dinner as she looked at the pitch dark clouds without a single moon and wondered what it could be like if Ian wasn't in her life.

She turned to give him a small smile and kept on looking at the sky again.

Her heart tugged, she knew this was the last time they would probably see each other again, she was going for a training which would equip her with how to rule the Pack, far away from Silver Furs Pack and wasn't sure when she would be back.

"Yeah I have something to tell you." She said, sounding quite serious.

He quickly turned to focus his eyes and attention on her.

"What's wrong Rob?" He called her pet name. "Are you all right? Is everything alright with you at home? What is wrong Rob?"

He said throwing a thousand questions at her and getting worried.

That was her Ian always getting worried whenever she was not fine, she watched him as his eyes glowed a darker shade of red, he was getting angry.

"Are you hurt?" He asked again, suddenly getting angry.

She watched him and almost laughed; she was the center of his universe and he would make sure she wasn't put in harm's way.

"No, it's nothing Ian, I'm not hurt, everything is fine at home but it's my father".

"I don't want to go over to Moonvale Pack, I can learn and know whatever I want here in SilverFurs Pack." She paused to look into his eyes. "I....I... I just felt like I'm missing you already."

He held her cheeks in both hands and caressed them softly.

"I know." He said gently.

"Time flies and soon you'll be back home but your father wants the best for you, how would you rule if you don't know anything about it?"

"You don't understand Ian, I will be gone for a long time, there will be a lot...lots."

"Hey ...hey ." He said looking deeply into her eyes.

"I will always be here waiting for you, I belong to you and you belong to me, no matter the time, the place, I will still love you Robina and I'll always be here."

She looked deeply into his eyes and said brokenly.

"I don't have to leave Ian, I wish ...I want to stay with you forever, I'm going to miss you so much, I can't bear not seeing your face for a day."

"But you are always in my mind, you are always in my heart." He said. "And I love you so much Robina, I want to see you happy, I want to see you be a great woman."

"Can you do me a favor?" She asked after a moment of silence dwelled between them.

"Anything for you"

"I want you to rule in my stead if I'm not back......"

"What, no, no. I can't do that, Robina, do you know what you are asking of me?"

"My father is very sick and I don't know...."

"Look Robina, your father will become healthy again, you will come back from Moonvale Pack after your training and you will become Luna."

"You don't understand, Ian, someone else might take the position...."

"No one will."

"That's why I beg you to rule in my stead if eventually things go wrong."

"This is a hard decision to make, Rob but because of the love I have for you, I will."

She threw her hands around him and hugged him so tight.

"Thank you so much, Ian I love you."

"And I love you more."

He said, still holding gently to her hand.

The more she stared at him, the more her eyes watered, she never believed that a day like this would come.

"I will always call you to know how you're doing at Moonvale Pack, I will also come visiting too because I don't want you to miss me that much."

Her eyes lit up when she heard those words.

"I love you Ian."

"I love you too Robina."

He said as his lips claimed hers in a hot passionate and deep kiss which took a few minutes. He broke it and looked into her eyes longingly.

He held her hands and brought them to his lips kissing them gently then he led her to his room.

The lights overhead danced with their shadows as he stood behind her, he held her shoulders and give it a gentle squeeze then slowly, hesitantly he pulled down the zipper of her dress and let kisses roll down the back of her neck.

He took seconds to look at her, lust filled his eyes. His lips proceeded to her ear lobe and nibbled on them carefully and gently sending moans out of her lips.

He heard her gasping, as he turned her around to face him, his lips descending on hers again hotter and fiercer than before.

He pulled the straps of her dress and watched them fall to her feet then gazed at her with eyes filled with longing and lust.

Gently he lifted her, took her to the bed. He took a minute of his time to stare down at her beautiful body.

"You look so beautiful, Robina ." He said breathlessly as his fingers did their magic on her body.

She gave a loud moan, his fingers parted her legs open gently so he would fit in.

She felt a sharp pain in between her legs and was about to scream when his lips claimed hers again in a hot passionate kiss.

She was so lost in her thought, so very far away that she didn't know they were at Moonvale Pack already.

"This is your stop ma'am." She jerked back to reality, surprisingly there were only five remaining in the bus.

She could feel the eyes of other passengers on her and even the driver who was staring back in the rearview mirror.

"Thank you." She nodded and got down with her luggages.

Up ahead written on a high sign were the words.

"WELCOME TO MOONVALE PACK."
