My Pickpocket Luna
At twenty-five, the first wish that slipped out of Ethan Jadiel Peterson's mouth when he blew out the twenty-five tiny birthday candles was to find his mate. Ethan is the heir and C.E.O of the Richmond Gas Company located in Bonanjo. A notorious mafia in the whole of Besaadi, and the Alpha of the Red Cross Moon Pack in Limbe. He is powerful, a power monger and a 'love them, leave them' bad-boy. A dirty flirt and since he thought flirting might make him find his mate easily, he ended up with a good number of women that he lost count on them after he dated the fifth lady on his list.
The night of his birthday, the wish had slipped out of his mouth in a slight tight murmured because it was his wish. The good thing is, his wish came to pass after eleven p.m. when he walked out to feel the air in his face and a mysterious lady on the run bumped into her. At first, it was a mistake, but when he fluttered his eyes open, he was shocked to see his mate. The only thing is that she is arrogant, and a pickpocket as she tries stealing from him.
Camilla Louise Taylor at twenty-three lived a normal life with her parents in a remote town in Bonaberi. Life is good on her till the tragic accident that happened with her parents in a car after it somersaulted, causing her mom to die on the spot and her dad to fall into a deep coma.
Mr. Marco Taylor is her only family left, and after being admitted to the central hospital in Bessaadi, the doctors warned her on paying her bills timely or will lose her dad to poor treatment. At twenty-three, stealing was not her thing, but the man who was the only survivor from her two parents would die if she doesn't make an effort to raise the bills that will serve for his effective treatment, especially in the coma.
A sum of two million was to be paid upfront, and a weekly amount of five hundred thousand left for the weekly treatment and enforcement of the oxygen her dad needs. Selling their house was a decision she came up with to raise the upfront payment, and leaving on the streets made her even stronger as she had to beg for a while before she met, Lisa Maurice, her girlfriend, who helped her with some money and introduced her to the pickpocket way of raising money to help her pay her dad's hospital bills since working was not a fast and available way off for her.
It had been six months since the accident, and five months since she became a pickpocket. It caused her to be guilty at times, but when she is not on the crowded streets of Besaadi stealing, she was at her father's hospital bed begging him to forgive her sins. That was necessary because of the constant battles she had to fight, the guilt in her heart could only be kept still from consuming her by confessing to him.
Staring at the handsome man whom she had bumped on after running from a security guard a while ago, her eyes grew wilder when he introduced himself as Mr. Ethan Jadiel Peterson, the C.E.O of Richmond Gas company. That meant wealth and a quick solution to her father's hospital bills. The only thing she didn't know was how to explain it to him, thus, she stole his wallet and gold chain. Unfortunately, each time Camilla stole something from Ethan, he caught her and she returned it with a high chin and not a single bit of remorse.
The pang of anger always glistened in Ethan's eyes because he had made a wish this evening of meeting his mate as he turns twenty-five, but, he had not planned on meeting a pickpocket. His contours quickly brightened knowing that he loved her by just seeing her for the first time, Ethan knew it was time to brush Jessie__ his current girlfriend aside to be with Camilla.
