FATED TO BE YOUR LUNA!

Clair

I was returning home from an interview that rejected me again for the second time. I was feeling disappointed and confused and I wanted nothing more than to get home faster. It was already dark and I had to follow a shortcut in a gloomy alley so I could get home sooner. I was having second thoughts about the alley and almost regretting my decision to follow the alley. A few minutes into the alley, I sensed someone's presence, someone was following me. I started walking faster thinking I could lose whoever was behind me, as I increased my pace, I could tell the person behind me also increased his or her pace. I was getting a bit scared, I was about to start running when a strong hand gripped me by the shoulder. "Ah! Who are you? What do you want?" I asked while thinking of possible ways to escape from the stalker. "Hey, hey, easy there, too many questions, pretty face. Shouldn't you know that walking alone in this alley at night is dangerous? You should take precautions next time but consider yourself unlucky today because I'm not gonna let you go until I have my way with you, pretty face." He said as he held my wrist and started pulling me to a darker alley, I couldn't see his face properly because the alley was very dark but I could still manage to see his eyes which were getting darker. "Let go of me, you moron!" I found myself yelling at the top of my voice as I began to hit him as hard as possible but it was useless. "Nah that's not gonna happen pretty face, if I let go of a snack like you I'm gonna regret it for the rest of my life. And even if you yell from now till tomorrow nobody will come to your rescue." He said as he tightened his grip, dragging me to an endless dark alley. "If you don't let go of me right now, you'll regret it for the rest of your miserable life, and trust me your life will be so miserable that you will wish for death to take you." I blurted out, my best friend always says that my mouth is sharper than the sword of a man. I had to be brave so I could defend myself from bullies and situations where I had to be independent and all the situations I had encountered so far, I was independent and I helped myself through it. I depended on myself and no one else. I learned a few tricks on how to escape perverts and thugs like this one but none of my tricks worked on him, he was different from all other perverts I had encountered. He was twice my size and there was something non-human about him. Maybe it's my mind playing tricks on me I thought. "If you try anything with me, my boyfriend will come for you and hunt you down when he finds out about what you are about to do." I thundered, of course, I was bluffing, I had never dated a guy in my entire life before. I couldn't trust any guy or anyone except my best friend Karly. "Your boyfriend? Hahaha don't make me laugh. Your boyfriend? Hunt me down? And how will he do that?" He asked as he sneered arrogantly. "You don't wanna find out, do you?" A strong masculine voice said, and immediately I felt my body getting tense in a way I had never felt before. "And who the f**k are y..." The pervert said as he turned toward the man but he paused his sentence when he saw who the person was. "W..wha..t... are... you do...ing he..re sir...? I... I mean.... sorry sir, I didn't mean to question you." The pervert stammered in fear as he bowed his head nervously, too scared to take a second look at the mysterious man. "What are you still waiting for? Scram before I unleash h*ll on you." The mysterious man's voice thundered, his voice resounding and covering the full alley. Almost immediately the pervert ran so fast that you would think he had some sort of superpower for speed. I was so surprised and was trying to make sense of what just unfolded before me. Who was this man and how could he scare that huge pervert away without doing anything? This, and hundreds of other questions, were flowing through my mind. "Follow me." I heard the mysterious man say to me, bringing me out of my pool of thoughts. I wanted to protest and part of me wanted to do as he said so I just obeyed and followed him. I followed him as he took me out of the alley and brought me to a more open and lighted place. I could easily see him properly now and he was huge! Here I thought the pervert was huge, but he was bigger than the pervert and he had this intimidating aura that could make any girl's knee become jelly. He was wearing a v-shaped tee shirt and a pair of rugged jeans Is it even legal to be this handsome? That was my first thought, his muscles and biceps bulged out on full display. His body looked like that of a Greek god His haircut was messy and wild, Grecian hooked nose, and a flawlessly chiseled face. His eyes were my favorite, he had these perfect piercing blue eyes that fit his powerful aura perfectly. He is the most handsome and masculine man I had ever laid my eyes on and I was feeling irresistibly drawn to him. Blaze I was walking to my favourite bar to lay off some steam when I heard voices coming from an alley close by. I wanted to ignore it and mind my business but for some reason, I couldn't. It was as if something was drawing me to where the voices were coming from. I followed the direction where the voices were coming from, when I got there I saw one of the rogues that usually stays around that part of the alley to commit nuisance. He was trying to drag a lady against her will, all of a sudden I was enraged and I felt the urge to torture the rogue and protect HER. But I didn't want to scare her, so I refrained myself and let the rogue go. I found myself telling the lady to follow me, at first I thought she wouldn't listen to me but surprisingly she did and here we are, out of the alley into the open where we could see ourselves properly. Boy was she beautiful, she was screaming perfection from her head to her toes. She was slender and beautiful, her curves could make a man lose his sense of reasoning. No word could do Justice to her face, her nose was straight and narrow, and her lips were full and rosy complementing her ocean-blue eyes which were enchanting and calming. She was the dream girl for any guy but unfortunately, I wasn't any guy. I just took over my status as the alpha wolf of my pack and I needed to find my mate as soon as possible. I've been on journeys in search of her but it seems like she wasn't in existence. I decided to visit my favourite bar to relieve myself from my frustrations then I started hearing voices and behold I found this beautiful lady. For a moment I just wished she was my mate so I could make her MY LUNA immediately. "It is impossible, she is a human" I whisper, reminding myself that I can only marry my mate and no one else. I squelched the thoughts of having anything to do with her before it became too late. But will I be able to forget this ethereal human? This was the question that was resounding in my head. "Did you say something?" She asked with her soothing voice. "No," I said "Okay now you're safe, you can go home now and remember not to follow this alley again at night, your boyfriend can't save you when he doesn't have any idea that you're in trouble." I said to her, feeling a bit disappointed and jealous by the fact that she had a boyfriend. "Thank you very much for your help. I don't have a boyfriend, I just said that to try to scare him off." She replied, and I immediately felt relieved after she mentioned that she had no boyfriend. "I will take my leave now," I said, walking away. My wolf was disappointed to leave her behind. "Wait!" I heard her sweet voice saying. "Anything else?" I asked while pretending to be uninterested. "May I know your name?" she asked innocently. "We will meet again if we are fated to then will I tell you my name. Do you believe in fate?" I asked. "Maybe or maybe not," she replied. I nodded and strode away leaving her behind. I could feel her eyes piercing through my skin for some seconds before she walked away in the opposite direction. Clair I felt a strange prick in my heart as I watched him leave. I couldn't understand why I felt that way for a total stranger, I couldn't move. I stood there for some time as I watched his silhouette become smaller. I watched him for a few more seconds before I turned in the opposite direction and walked home. When I got home, I opened the door with my spare key and was walking toward my room. I was so exhausted that all I could think about was my bed. I was about to open the door to my room but was startled by a voice I recognized. "Well, well, who do we have here? Oh, it's the queen herself who couldn't give her best friend a call to inform her that she won't make it home on time." Karly said as she strode closer to me with her hands folded across her chest. "Karly! You scared the sh*t out of me!" I said to my best friend Karly who was upset with me. "Not as scared as I was, you went to an interview in the morning, and look at the time you are coming back. It's 8:37 pm! I tried calling you since you wouldn't call but all my calls were going to voicemail. You almost gave me a heart attack b*tch!" Karly said shouting, she was scolding me like I was her child. "I promise tomorrow I will tell you everything that happened today and trust me you will love the gist. I would have loved to tell you everything right now but I'm too tired and do not bother to bring me food. I will go straight to bed." I said to her with a faint smile. "I can see your eyes screaming tiredness so I'm not going to argue with you tonight. I will let you rest today but tomorrow you better have a good explanation for almost giving me a heart attack." She said as her anger subsided. She left as I opened my room door and entered inside. I launched into my small size bed and lay upward thinking about the hot stranger. It was impossible to get him out of my head, I was imagining what it would feel like to touch his rock-hard abs. After a few minutes, I felt my eyelid getting heavier and then I drifted to sleep.

Clair

"Mmmmm" I moaned as he held my waist tighter increasing the intensity of the kiss. I could feel his hot breath on my neck and things were getting more intense.

All I wanted at that moment was to lose myself to him completely.

"You taste so good, mysterious man," I said as he raised me above the ground and carried me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and I could feel him getting hard.

"I want more! Take me, please. I..."

"Clair! Clair! Clairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

"Aah! Who's that?" I screamed as I jolted awake "Clair? And were you having a w*t dream? I heard Karly saying. I cleaned my eyes to be more sober and then it hit me, I was having a w*t dream with the mysterious hot man who saved me the previous day. Did I just call him hot? Oh, f**k my life.

"I'm still waiting in case you forget, now start talking," Karly said, folding her hands against her chest, waiting for me to say something.

"Karly, how long have you been standing here?" I asked while placing a pillow to support my back as I sat up.

"Long enough..." she replied with a mischievous look on her face.

"Did you...?" I asked wide-mouthed "Yes, so... who is this mysterious man you have been s*x dreaming about? Clair asked as she sat beside me folding her hands and looking straight at me eagerly like a child waiting to be told a story.

"I didn't have a w*t dream. I was just... you know, eh..." I said, scratching my head.

"I don't understand what you're trying to say, Clair." She said

"I think I should start from yesterday..." I replied

"So, something happened yesterday? Start spilling right now!" She declared becoming even more enthusiastic than before.

"Ok, ok, calm down, I will tell you everything," I said, then I told her everything that happened the previous day.

"O...m...g! You mean you almost got taken away by a pervert?" She exclaimed. "Reduce your voice, do you want to draw our neighbour's attention?" I asked almost in a whisper.

"I can't, not after everything you just told me." She said looking as stubborn as ever.

"Oh gosh," I said, facepalming

"now I regret telling you," I added.

"Watch your mouth young lady, I am your best friend! We tell each other everything." She said with a frown that disappeared as quickly as it came.

"I'm so sorry about yesterday Clair..." she said with an apologetic look.

"It wasn't your fault, why are you apologising?" I asked

"No, not about the pervert. I'm sorry for getting angry at you for not calling me, if I knew all this happened I wouldn't have scolded you."

"Exactly like you said, you didn't know so shut up and come hug me. I need a bestie's hug right now," I said with open arms as Karly drew closer to me and we hugged.

"So... about the mysterious man..." she said looking at me for my reaction. Karly is the only person who can read me like an open book just by looking at my expressions and I hate it sometimes especially when I try to hide my sadness from her because I don't want her to get worried but she always finds out no matter what.

"What about him?" I asked, avoiding Karly's gaze "Don't even play dumb with me, I know that you have been thinking about him non-stop and you hope to meet him again." She said as if she was living inside my mind.

"Why do you have to know everything? I hate you." I said playfully.

"Because I have to know everything about my best friend and I love you too," she said with a smug look

"Remind me why I'm still friends with you," I said playfully "Because I'm your favorite person duh," she said and we both laughed.

"Okay, now spill"

"You won't leave me alone until I tell you, will you?

"You guessed it right! So spill," she repeated, again.

"I don't know why I feel this strange attraction towards him, I feel my body getting tense and excited when he's close to me.

"But you've only met him once or have you seen him anywhere before that you couldn't remember? Karly asked.

"No, of course, trust me I wouldn't forget someone that hot if I had seen him before. I said remembering the dream I had some minutes ago.

"That's true, according to your description I can tell that he's a va-va-voom knockout even without seeing him," Karly said with a teasing smile on her face.

"What's with that look? I asked

"Nothing," she said giggling

"Whatever," I replied.

"Okay back to hot stuff. So the hot mysterious stranger makes you feel things you haven't felt for any guy before, that means there is something special about him. He could be your soulmate sis!" She blurted out with excitement written all over her face.

"Whoa! Whoa, I just met him yesterday and you're already taking him as my soulmate? And why do you seem more excited than I am?" I asked.

"Think about it Clair, you haven't dated any guy before even though guys swoon over you you ignored all their advances. Why? Because you didn't feel anything for them and all of a sudden this hot mysterious man came along and you almost peed your pants just by standing close to him. If that is not enough sign to tell you that he is someone special then I don't know what else will convince you." She uttered trying to convince me.

"I didn't say I almost peed my pants! How would you know he is my soulmate? Are you a fortune teller or a matchmaker?" I asked, looking at her curiously.

"This is not about fortune telling or matchmaking, this is reality, Clair!" She replied.

"Whatever Clair, I don't have time for your imagination. I'm hungry, I'm going to make breakfast, do you want anything?" I asked, standing up from the bed and heading to the kitchen.

"You are just in denial, I will eat whatever you make." She replied.

"I'm not in denial, I just don't believe in fate, soulmate, or superstitions. I said while preparing the ingredients to make breakfast. 'Could she be right, is there something special about this man?' I thought. A myriad of thoughts and unanswered questions were hovering in my mind. A few minutes later I was done making breakfast. We sat and ate, and after we finished eating, we started discussing.

"Clair, you haven't told me why you were rejected again even after all the efforts you put in," Karly said with a serious and worried expression.

"Honestly, I don't even know the reason why I was rejected. The only thing the interviewer said was 'You are not qualified'. I explained. "You didn't ask her why you were unqualified?" Karly asked curiously.

"I did, but she didn't tell me the cause. Isn't that strange and unreasonable? How would you reject a person without any specific justification." I said, slightly upset.

"She's a b**ch for rejecting a smart a** like you," Karly said with slight anger.

"Easy there raging bull," I said playfully and we both chuckled. "Karly..." I called

"I know you are worried when you call my name like that. I know what you are worried about, you are worried about the house rent right?"

"Yes, I am worried about the rent. I couldn't get the job and the rent is almost due, how are we going to afford it?" I asked worriedly.

"Don't worry about the rent, we still have four more days, I will figure something out before then. The only thing you need now is to stop worrying and have some fun." She said with a reassuring smile.

"WE will figure something out. Now elaborate more on the fun." I said.

"Okay! There's this club called P-rocky and I heard a lot of hype about the club. Some said it is the best club in town presently and it is always crammed especially on Fridays. That's where we are going tonight! Yippee!" She said, screaming excitedly like a child.

"By your description, I don't think the club is easy to access. How are we going to get in? I asked, staring at her curiously.

"Don't worry sweetheart, I have my way. All we have to do is to get dressed and head to the club by 8 pm, leaving the rest to me. And by the way, I went shopping and got us some clothes yesterday. I waited for you so we could go together but..."

"Let me guess, the main reason for your anger yesterday was because you went shopping alone, right?" I asked before she could finish talking.

"Well yeah... but I wasn't that angry, I was just faking it. She said giggling.

"I knew it!" I said and we both giggled.

"But wait, where did you get the money to go shopping?" I asked.

"I bought just two clothes for both of us at a discount so it wasn't expensive. She replied.

"If you say so. Now let's go do some cleanings" I said and we both stood up taking up different tasks. .................................................................................................................................................

Karly and I spent our day cleaning, making lunch, and binge-watching our favorite movies. We fell asleep after watching tons of movies, and we woke up after a few hours of sleeping.

"Come on Clair get your a** over here, it's time to party!" She said, smiling and wiggling her a**.

"What are you doing?" I said, laughing. "It's called party mood. Come try out this, I'm sure you'll look hot in that." She said,

"Too hot to handle" she whispered teasingly.

"I know! Going to the docs later about it. I winked and we both started laughing hysterically. After 30 minutes, the time was already 7:15 pm and we were dressed and ready to go. I wore a pair of tight leather jeans with a crop top while Karly wore a mini skirt and also a crop top.

"We look irresistible. Let's go, sis, it's time to turn heads and have some fun." She said, confidently.

"Yes! Let's turn heads!" I said as we high-fived and walked out of the apartment and got a cab to our destination. When the cab pulled up at the address, I could now understand why the club was called P-rocky. The place was booming with people. There was a long queue of people outside the club entrance waiting to get In. We got down and Karly gestured for me to follow her and I did, we walked straight to the entrance and Karly showed the security man a card and he instantly allowed us in. The club was filled with people and it looked spectacular, it deserved all the hype.

"How did you do that?" I asked in amazement.

"Don't worry I will tell you everything when we get home." She replied. As soon as we entered, a lot of people were staring at us. The girls, most were staring with jealousy while some were with admiration. The guys were ogling at us, we held our shoulders up and walked straight to the bar and sat. We requested drinks and we drank, chatting away and laughing. A bunch of guys came to us one after the other to buy us drinks but we refused.

"I think we should hit the dance floor," I said to Karly suggestively.

"OK, but first I need to use the restroom. Wait for me, when I'm back we will dance together." She said and I nodded in agreement. After Karly left, I sat alone gulping down my drink peacefully and waiting for her to return.

"Hi," a voice said behind me, and instantly my body became tense for the second time in two days. I recognized the voice immediately, It was HIM!

-Clair-

I froze on the spot nervously. I didn't know what to say back and I couldn't understand why my body reacted on its own whenever his presence was sensed. His unique scent reminded me of the dream I had that morning and I could feel my face turning red like a tomato. I managed to calm myself and turned to face him.

"Hello," I said, waving at him.

-Blaze-

I reluctantly followed my best friend to the club today and I didn't expect to see her here. I was surprised when I first saw her but my surprise quickly turned into glee. I approached her and my wolf was screaming in excitement. Her clothes were driving me crazy and making my thoughts go wild. I wished I could take her somewhere where only I could see her because I felt jealous seeing how guys were gaping her. The leather jeans she wore fitted her voluptuous figure so well.

Her crop was a little piece of fabric, it couldn't cover all parts of her b**bs making it impossible to look away from. I wished I could take her somewhere where only I could see her because I felt jealous seeing how guys were gaping her. I was thinking of thousands of things to say and do to her but I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do since I'm supposed to only feel this way for my mate.

But at that moment I didn't care anymore because all I could see and think about was her! I couldn't get her out of my head since the last time I saw her, I barely thought about someone or something else. She was living inside my head rent-free. I would have believed she was my mate if not for the fact that she is a human.

At this point I was rethinking the idea of finding my mate, I was on the verge of giving up on my mate. My heart and my wolf jump in excitement whenever she is near me. She was making me feel things I didn't know I could feel. I'm not leaving here today until I know who she is and get her number I thought decisively.

-Clair-

I didn't let him see my nervousness or the way my body tensed up. He was even more handsome and hot than the previous day. He was wearing a black button-up shirt with gray chino. His shirt wasn't fully buttoned, revealing part of his chest. I was sure his chest would be as hard as a rock. What is this man doing to me? I thought.

He looked irresistible and I had a strange feeling inside me, I felt like touching him, feeling him and I wanted him inside me. How could I feel this way for someone I nearly know? Maybe it's sexual attraction, it won't hurt to have a one-night stand with him after all I haven't been laid for a while now. There is something more to this man than just his appearance, I thought.

"I didn't expect to see you here," he said

"Me neither," I replied.

"Can I buy you a drink?" He asked calmly.

"Sure," I replied. We sat down at the bar chair and he signaled the bartender to come.

"May I please have a margarita and.." He paused and faced me.

"What would you like to drink? Firecracker" He asked with a smile. Not just any smile, a smile that caused millions of butterflies to sway around in my stomach.

"I will have sex on the beach please," I replied. He looked at me with a teasing smirk before turning to the bartender.

"A margarita and sex on the beach please." He said to the bartender. A few minutes later, the bartender brought the drinks to us and we took a sip.

"So, I promised to tell you my name if I ever see you again, I'm Blaze." He said with his masculine voice which has become familiar to me. So his name is Blaze, it fits him so well. I thought.

"What's yours?" He asked

"My what?" I questioned pretending not to know what he meant.

"Your name, what's your name?" He asked again.

"Hmmm, nah I don't think I can do that now," I replied sassily. He smiled and said

"Is this about me not telling you my name yesterday?"

"Probably..." I replied. I wasn't feeling nervous anymore, I just wanted to get to know him but I wouldn't tell him that.

"Firecracker does suit y..."

"Clair guess what just h...." Karly blurted, interrupting Blaze. She paused when he saw that I wasn't sitting alone.

"I'm sorry... I thought you were alone." She said awkwardly, Can I borrow her for a few seconds please?" She asked, looking at Blaze. He nodded without saying a word. Karly held my hand and led me to a corner.

-Blaze-

Clair... that's a beautiful name, I thought. I felt empty when she went away with her friend. I didn't want to lend Clair to anybody, I wanted her close to me all the time. I was feeling possessive and protective towards her, at this point, I would torture anybody who tried to hurt even a strand of her hair.

Clair was making me lose my mind slowly, everything about her makes me and my wolf want her more. I decided to ask my friend for help, I took out my phone and texted him to come over to the bar. The bar was crowded with people so I couldn't go around looking for him.

"Hi, Alpha, how may I be of help to you?" He asked jokingly.

"Josh! People could hear us!" I said cautiously.

"Relax Alpha, nobody will hear us." He replied.

"Stop calling me Alpha and be serious for once." I said,

"Look over there" I pointed at Clair and her friend.

"The girl wearing leather jeans, that's the girl I told you about yesterday," I said proudly.

"Damn! She is a full package." He said licking his lips. I grasp his neck and whisper into his ears

"Don't you dare, she's mine!" I declared.

"I... *cough* I.. wasn't talk...ing... about...." He stammered, I removed my hand from his throat to enable him to speak better.

"You weren't talking about what?" I asked

"I was referring to the person next to her, her friend." He explained.

"So you wanted to kill me because of a girl you just met? I knew it! I know you don't love me." He said dramatically, pretending to be crying.

Typical Josh, Josh is my best friend and my beta. He's the second in command after me, he's playful most times but he doesn't play with serious matters. He's the most cheerful man in our pack and also my advisor.

"Please stop being dramatic Josh and tell me what to do," I said.

"Not after you apologise for almost taking your best friend's life" he replied, folding his hands.

"Josh!" I yelled

"Okay, okay, I will be serious." He said, laughing.

"You said you feel attracted to her, you can't stop thinking about her, and your body always reacts whenever she is around you?"

"Yes, I also feel possessive and protective towards her. I don't like other guys looking at her and I only want her all to myself." I explained.

"From your explanation, I think she's your mate because that's the feeling you get whenever you see your mate." He said thoughtfully.

"Are you forgetting something? She is a human Josh a human! How's that possible?" I asked desperately.

"That's what surprises me, a human cannot be fated to a wolf. Maybe there's another possibility."

"What other possibility are you talking about? Wait! Unless....

"Unless she's a halfbreed!" We said in unison.
