A Rip In Time?! 3{70}

Time with the Luna yesterday was awfully tense. Well for me it was. Tsk, she blatantly ignored my discomfort like she was conversing with a statue. Granted she did most of the talking.

• 5 pm at Luna Cora's lily garden the previous day•

"Ah yes, the high general of the Almighty Dionysius clan has finally decided to grace this lowly being with his golden-spirited presence. I am highly honored to be granted such a rare life-changing opportunity" She said with heavy sarcasm.

"Don't tell me you were caught up in your bathroom doing 'something' again. Tsk, go get a boyfriend already. Your love life is soo fucking dry. I wish you'd let me play matchmaker. You would have the hottest Alpha fawning over you by now." She added with a dreamy look in her eyes

"I don't want one. They're too much of a hassle to handle. Besides, I need to focus on Silent Silver. They've been awfully dormant for the past month and something doesn't feel right about it. I mean, for one whole month they caused a panic in the human world, then there were reported cases of missing vampires in the Agamemnon coven, dead rabid vampires littered around the Sânge si poftā border. Then all of a sudden they just go quite? They're definitely up to something and it won't be good. Why didn't anyone inform me earlier? I could've left Harmonious Resonance when all of this started and ended it then."

"Can you not talk about work and mysteries for one day? Just today. You won't die Vasili. Sheesh!"

"Alright, fine. I won't say anything concerning work."

"Thank you. How have you been?"

"I'm fine. You can see and feel it"

"No Vas, you know what I'm talking about" she said with a softened voice and when I looked up at her I realized what she was asking about.

"Honestly Cora, I'm not even sure anymore. I just want to ignore this shitty stuff for as long as I can"

"What about Eros? How's he holding up?"

"He's fine too. Better than I'm doing, actually. He's getting stronger everyday and he's been telling me that we'll be fine soon. That we won't be alone anymore and he can feel that whatever is supposed to take this lonely miserable feeling off of our chest is coming very soon. I can feel it too, I just don't know what"

"He said that?"

"Yeah, he did. This morning right after you linked me."

"I want you to be happy Vas, even if that happiness doesn't lie with my dipshit son. You know that right? Ev..even if you decide to...break the bond you have with my son. I won't mind, you have my full support. No matter what you decide. Even if you desire to leave the pack this very minute for you to have peace and happiness. You deserve it more than anyone I know. Come here, give me a hug"

Normally I would protest or put up a little fight before giving in to her request but at this very moment I felt soo Vulnerable. After my mother died, she's been the only other person that has cared for me. Even more than my mother did back when she was alive, and that's a lot because my mother was loving, kind and overprotective of me. Looking into her eyes right now I knew I would always have her love and support. No judgment and no second thoughts about me from her. So I let myself melt into her warm embrace. We sat quietly for a while, enjoying the silence until she cleared her throat.

I wanted to break the hug but she held on tighter.

"Vas, there's something I wanted to talk to you about but first I need you to promise me that you won't get angry, Please."

"I won't, even if you wanted to tell me that you no longer want me, I won't get upset and I know that's never going to happen so you can relax and say what you want."

"I...I want you, no scratch that. We decided to give you a late birthday present"

"But you guys already gave me a present."

"I know. We just thought it'd be best for you to have this."

"Alright, what is it?"

"Come with me"

We walked out to the car park where we met her mate smiling from ear to ear.

"Vas my boy. How lovely it is for you to join us. Come on, get in the car, we're going for a ride."

"I call shotgun" Cora screamed and ran to the car.

"Come on cor, you called shotgun the last time too, can't you just let me have it for once?"

"Nope, you want it then you have to call it first. Now get your old ass in the car. You're driving, Vas"

"You don't think I'm old when I shove my co.."

"Finish that sentence and we'll see if you'll be shoving anything into anywhere for a long, long time. Come on, try it, I dare you"

I could almost see the chills running down his spine.

This is definitely going to be fun!
