Chapter Eight

Shocked at the history lesson Olivia knew her mate was all at fault. Should she just reject him and be done with it? Does he have no room for her in his heart, is it all reserved for Nayla? She was at a lost. She walked out of the room and went for a walk.

Nayla

I ran around the lake so much I crashed on the ground before I knew it I was dreaming. I was laying on the bench with my head in my Mother's lap as she was rubbing my head as we were watching Dad cut wood. I heard a voice I haven't heard in so long, my Mother's. "Nayla dear, Mates don't separate for long. Remember this. We love you very much. We are very proud of the women you've become. I want you to leave this home so you can find your happiness." My mom gets up when my father turns and calls her. As she was walking away," Daughter don't be sad for me. I'm going to be with your father. I think he has waited long enough for me. Promise me you will leave."

"I promise Mom. I will find a new home and become happy. I love you guys." A tear ran down my cheek as I was saying it. I was watching my parents go hand in hand walking away from me when yelling woke me up. I was still at the lake. "Nayla! Nayla! Your Mother! Where are you?" the pack doctor mind linked. I ran back knowing what had happened but still it hurts my heart. I see Olivia at my door with the doctors. "Nayla, we are sorry, but your mother didn't make it." One of the Pack doctors said sadly. Olivia held my hand and I saw tears rolling down her face. "I'm so sorry for your lost. She will truly be missed." She is gong to be a great Luna, once Leelan accepts her. I smile at her and walk inside and close the door.

The next day Leelan had everything in order for me. He even had someone make a hole next to where I buried my dad years back. No one helped me dig or pull my father to his grave. All I had was tree bark to place as my father's tombstone. All I had to do this time is get dressed and show up. My heart was down but I was ready for I was going to do tonight. Tonight, will be the for step to my happiness. As they were laying my mom to rest, I felt Leelan's eyes on me, I know he wanted to comfort me, as he always did but his mate was right next to him. After everything was good and dark I went to my parents and wish them well and started my Journey to Happiness.

Olivia

Today was the day Nayla's mom will lay to rest and Leelan made sure she didn't have to lift a finger. I asked him why he didn't bury her in the pack cemetery, and he said he knows she would want to be bury next to her mate. I asked him if he helped Nayla bury her father he looked down and told me, "No, she did it all by herself. That's why I don't want her to worry about her mother's. She has suffered enough." The whole time at the funeral he stared at her, I felt the pain and sadness he felt for his love. I knew he wanted to go to her but why didn't he? Was it cause it of me?

It was getting late in the day and I smelt it again. The sleeping tea! I guess he wants to go to her tonight. He asked, "Olivia, would you like to have tea?"

"Only if you have a cup with me Darling." I retorted

He came back with two teacups before he sat down, I asked for some sugar. When he came back I put the sugar in my cup, we talked and sipped the tea. After a while the Beta came in as usual I guess to carry my limp body to bed but we will see about that. We were all talking then I saw Leelan's eyes does a long blink. He turned to look at me with a confused face. I smiled, "What's wrong my love?" He tried to stand but stumbled and sat back down. I got up and acted innocent, "Babe are you feeling well?" He looked at me, smiled and said, "I underestimated you." Then he went night-night. I turned to the Beta. "Luck be a dear and take your Alpha to the bed. He stood there shocked then a loud laugh came out of him. "Yes Luna. You just made my day. That should teach him to mess with are future Luna." He struggled but made it to the bed still laughing.

I laid next to my mate and it felt right. I know this is where I need to be. I just wished he would give me a chance. Please give me something to show my efforts are not in vein. Then I happened, he turned to me put his nose my neck and wrapped his arm around me. I'll take it!

The morning came too fast. I had the best sleep EVER! Just to have my mate jump out of bed and panic No's coming out of his mouth. I followed him running outside through the trees to Her house. He opened the door and screamed her name. I feel the fear in him. He ran to the back to the gravesite and ran back. Then I see the beta and gramma come running to us. "I want our best trackers. Go find her and bring her back! Now!!" I hear My alpha command with such rage.

The gramma bowed but Luck turned to his best friend," Leelan, you know she can out smart and out run our best. Leelan let her go." Leelan shoves his hand away and growls, "Do what you are told Beta." And with that he walked away.
