Chapter 12

Andrei's POV

It had been a week since I'd seen Luna. She has been attending classes and I have been worried but not worried enough to go check on her appearance. Samantha and Mr. Cohen have been keeping me updated on her progress she was fine and had healed completely the day after the accident so why has she not come back to school?

She had been staying at her uncle's private estate about a mile away from the school.

Samantha and my brother Andrew had started hanging out regularly since the accident but have decided that nothing should happen between them for obvious reasons. Anakin doesn't approve much of this situation but he has no say in his dear brother's love life even if he is the oldest.

The ball is tonight and after some debating, I decided to go not that I wanted to but since Samantha and Andrew are going both me and Anakin have to be there to make sure nothing happens.

I'm on my way back from the final period and I hear murmurs about Luna almost murdering that girl on Monday and since she hasn't been to school since that day people suspect she was either expelled or suspended. She has gotten quite famous since that day and it's a good thing nobody knows about what happened at the coffee shop.

I run into Rachel waiting at my dorm room door. I swear I am going to kill this girl one of these days.

"Andrei I've been trying to get ahold of you."

"Fuck of Rachel."I make my way past her towards my door.

"Wait!" She grabs my upper arm.

"Rachel if you don't get your hand off me in the next three seconds I swear I am going to..." She didn't let me finish.

"Listen I'm sorry Okay I know I hurt you but I was also hurt when you left me."

"Rachel you were just a quick fuck that I decided to keep for six months, me and you weren't anything but that, and besides don't you have a wolf beta to suck of or something."

"But..."

"Leave," I said in a low growl and shut the door in her face.

Luna's POV

Since the accident, I've been staying in my uncle's secluded mansion in the hills about a mile away from school. I haven't been to school in a week and I can't say I miss it. I've only been in contact with Monica and Sam because well they are my only friends.

Uncle and I have been focused on finding out who was trying to kill me but that lead us to a dead end due to me having close to zero enemies excluding the girl I tried to kill and everyone else who knows that I exist. 

We had managed to make contact with the half kitsune and he agreed to meet us in a public setting after putting a lot of thought into it we decided to meet at the ball. I'm hoping we can get more answers and maybe find out who my father is.

As I got ready for the ball I received a text from Monica. "Ohh my god where are you the ball is about to start in five minutes."

"I'll be there, I'm almost done,"  I replied and put on my dress. The theme was black and white so I wore a shimmery silver dress by Stella Snow from the star goddess collection that hasn't even come out yet.

My black hair was curled into thick volumed curls. My hair is naturally thick and curly since my mother was half black, half white, and my father full Japanese. And I would have preferred to leave it in its natural form but my uncle said it would be best if I straightened it and curled it so I didn't argue.

I put on glittery lotion on my chest, neck and arms, did my make-up, and sealed the look with a bold Matt red close to maroon look.

We finally arrived at the ball and were about twenty minutes late because my uncle didn't know if I should put on any jewelry or not we decided on a diamond bracelet with matching earrings and a slim necklace.

The ball was in full swing and everyone was mingling.

Everyone turned to look at us as we descend the stairs of the ballroom. The music was playing softly in the background and there was a little chatter here and there but everyone's eyes were on us.

Most people's eyes were filled with hatred and envy some were filled with surprise and spite. I gracefully took a confident step after another down the spiraling staircase. My eyes wandered around the room and landed on Andrei. He was standing with a beautiful girl in a slutty dress she had her hand on his shoulder and it slightly pissed me off.

She looked like a call girl at best. She had platinum blond hair, tanned skin, brown eyes, and thin lips. She wore a black silk dress that rested on the flooring with two slits on each side of her thighs going all the way to her waist. The dress hung low on her chest and back revealing her glittery breast and bikini-lined back probably from her tan.

I decided to not let this get the best of me especially since Andrei wasn't mine, we weren't even friends, to say the least.

Monica and Sam came running to me and gave me hugs.

"Ohh my gosh you look so gorgeous," Monica said.

I laughed a bit. "Thanks, So do you. And look at you Sam Ohh my." I held my hand to my mouth. Sam wore a strapless black ballgown with shimmery diamonds on her corset top and Monica wore a white mermaid dress with flower patterns at the bottom.

"So how have you been?" Sam asked.

"I've been good, how have you guys been."

"Well I've just been fooling around with a guy from my history class and Sam has been busy with Andrew."

I gasped. "How long have I been gone and why didn't you guys tell me we talk like every 2 minutes."

"I didn't say anything cause nothing is going on. We just hang out and besides, he made it clear that nothing would happen between us."

"Why?" I asked frowning.

"I don't know, he won't say and what hurts most is that he's my mate and I know it and I think he knows it too but keeps on talking about protecting me and some bullshit."

"Ohh honey maybe you should trust him and put more faith in him. Maybe his not telling you anything for your safety  I'm sure deep down he likes you a lot, just give him time okay."

"Fine." She giggles and wipes away a small tear threatening to come out from the side of her eye.

We chat a bit more and we dance until uncle calls me to let me know that the kitsune is here.
