Chapter 7
- After I finished my shower, I went to meet her.
- While passing my room I feel nostalgic, and enter my room.
- But what makes me surprised, my room was still the same, just like how I left it behind five years back. Even there is not any dust, too.
- As if I have never left it.
- I go inside and sit in my bed.
- My favorite teddy is still in the left corner of my bed, where I used to keep it.
- My every toy is kept neatly in its place.
- I smile, thinking about how possessive I was about this teddy.
- I let no one touched it, not even my brothers and my best friend.
- I used to sleep hugging it every night, from the day mom gifted it to me.
- I sit in the bed and take the teddy, and hug it tightly
- “Tin Tin, I missed you,” I say with tears in my eyes. When mom gave me this teddy, I named it ‘Tin Tin’.
- I was a big fan of Tin Tin so I named it.
- But everyone used to tease me about this.
- But I never changed its name.
- “You know I missed everyone but couldn’t come, I really wanted to come, but...” I say, and a tear slip from my eyes.
- This room was my kingdom.
- The small place in this big world, which was my world.
- Small, but I was happy here, away from these pack businesses, away from all the people and my family as well.
- Every corner of this room has some memories.
- In this entire house, this was the place where I never felt unwanted.
- Where I never felt unworthy and never judged by people.
- Everything in this place is closed to my heart.
- I thought after I left everything would be changed.
- Everything changed in the pack house but my room, it’s the same as old times.
- The pink color bed sheet, same ceiling which my brothers painted for me, clouds are still there, floating in the ceiling, and the sun is still shining.
- I feel thrilled.
- “Who is there? I told you several times nobody can enter this room. Have you forgotten I was the Luna of this pack?” An angry but familiar voice comes from outside, and the door opens with a thud.
- I wipe my tears and turn around, my mom is standing at the door angrily.
- But when she sees me her face changes and a tear roll down her eyes.
- “Andrea,” she says with a trembling voice.
- “Mom.” I keep the teddy aside and stand up.
- “It’s really you?” she asks in disbelief and I nod
- She opens her arm, and I almost run to hug her.
- “Mom. I missed you,” I say, hugging her, and cry my heart out.
- “I missed you too princess.” She gives kisses all over my face,
- We both cry hugging each other.
- After I calm down, we sit in the bed but nothing came out of our mouths.
- I am just watching her, and she is also watching me with mixed emotions. Happiness, disbelief, and complaint.
- “You didn’t let anyone change my room?” I ask with a slight smile.
- “No. I know you would have complained if anyone touched your things. So I always cleaned them and waited for you. But you came after five years.” She complains.
- “I am sorry mom,” What can I say other than that.
- I wanted to come. I can’t even count how many nights I have passed crying and missing them.
- I place my head on her lap, and she pats my hair.
- This is the place where I feel safe, peaceful.
- “Are you happy? Your mate treats you well?” She asks after some time.
- “Yes, mom.” I lie.
- I have come after so long.
- I wanted to tell her everything.
- But I don’t want her to feel sad for me.
- I don’t know when I will come again, or will I ever be able to come.
- I don’t want her to worry about me.
- “Andrea, why didn’t you come before? Logan doesn’t treat you well, right?” she asks, and I become tense
- “No mom. It’s not like that. I became Luna of the pack suddenly. I was so busy that I can’t come before.” I sit up and try to make her believe.
- “You didn’t get time for three years?” she asks not believing my words."
- “Mom...” I don’t know what to reply to.
- But then I hear a knock on the door.
- I turn and see Evan was standing there.
- “Luna, Alpha was looking for you. You know it’s already half an hour...” he hesitates but I know why he is here.
- Logan has given me fifteen minutes, but I forgot, I am here for so long.
- I was so lost that I forget about time.
- “I am coming,” I say and he leaves after nodding his head.
- “Mom Logan is waiting for me. I will talk to you later,” I say without giving her any time to stop me.
- I come out of the room and walk toward the living room.
- It’s the best thing to do for now.
- I don’t want to answer her questions, and I don’t want to make him angry, too.
