Luna's POV:
Tatum had already driven away by the time I started to get back into my car. Oh I need Jack's number! I suddenly remembered. I quickly turned off my car and ran inside the bar. Jack was surprised but happy to see me. Apparently Tatum had told him I wasn't feeling well. I told him my old phone had fallen in the street the night before shattering the screen and they were unable to save it or my number. We exchanged numbers again and I walked outside.
As soon as I walked out the door I spotted Tatum down the street several yards away. His back is to me but there is no mistaking him. There was a young brunette clinging to his arm as they walked away. I felt a pain in my chest as my wolf whined pitifully and it began to feel like my heart was being ripped from my chest. I ran to my car as fast as I could, not wanting to be seen and hurried b
Luna's POV:I'm standing next to Tatum's bed looking at the shirt he's laid out for me. It's a soft grey color and thicker than the last one. I pick the shirt up and bury my face in it inhaling the masculine scent that lies within it. I hurry and dry myself off snapping my fingers to make a pair of underwear appear before slipping the soft cotton shirt over my body. I snap my fingers again and my wet hair is instantly groomed and dried in its natural wavy style. I placed the towel in the same hamper I put everything into last time then walked over to the double glass doors. The curtains were wide open and I looked out at the rain soaked world then I slowly looked up at the sky. The large pale moon was full and darted in and out of the clouds as it drew me in. I feel as if I'm in a trance when the sound of Tatum's voice snaps me back.
Luna's POV:Tatum flops down on his bed letting out another long sigh."I swear that girl is like a hurricane." Tatum says as he rubs his forehead.I take a seat next to him on the big bed making sure to keep some space between us."Um, if you need me to go with you tomorrow instead I will." I say quietly."It's fine. You two can go tomorrow and get what you need for the Christmas party." Tatum replies as he looks over to me.I look back at the bedroom door and lower my head. Thoughts of earlier start to race through my mind and I feel Tatum's warm hand gently stroke my back."We need to get some rest. We will both have a busy day tomo
Luna's POV:I'm sitting on the passenger side next to Tatum as he heads towards the park. Once we arrive Tatum makes sure Kali and I are safely in the car before pulling away. Kali and I decide to go get breakfast before heading to the local dress shops. The first two dress shops were a bust and didn't have anything that really stood out to us. We were browsing in the third store when Kali walked up to me with an arm full of dresses."Ok I found a few that I think might look good on you!"Kali says as she pushes me to the dressing room.The first dress she gives me to try on is light blue and knee length. I opened the door and Kali made a face."I don't know if I should wear a short dress. I was thinking maybe something floor length since this is going to be a
Luna's POV:It was late afternoon by the time Kali and I were finished shopping and getting manicures and pedicures. Once finished we settle on a place to eat and go inside and sit down."Are you sure you have everything you need?"Kali asks."Yes! I think three large bags of clothes and one bag of toiletries are plenty enough!"I exclaim as I look at the bags beside our table with a confused look.Kali laughs a little then takes a sip of her drink."So, you and my brother seem to get along well."Kali says with a smile."Don't be silly. He's just helping me with all the things that went on while I was in the states after I graduated." I reply with a small sigh.
Luna's POV:"Mind if I have a seat?"I hear Tatum's voice say as he pulls up a chair and sits next to me."Not at all! We were just talking about how you two met and I was telling her about how totally smitten you were with her! So much so that you were smiling like an idiot at your phone the entire time we were at dinner and how you have that goofy picture saved to your home screen."Kali says with a mischievous smirk.Tatum shoots Kali a warning glance and I feel my face go red. Kali really is wild I think as I begin to laugh nervously."Fine, fine."Kali says, rolling her eyes and laughing as well."Oh! Can I borrow your car?"Kali asks as she looks at Tatum."What in the hell for?
Tatum's POV:I feel my heart stop as I lay eyes on the large portrait in the hall. So those are her parents, I think to myself as unease slowly flows through me. I flash back to three years ago. I had just finished Law school and started working at my father's firm. My sister came by one afternoon after school so upset she was shaking. I remember hearing her yelling at our father through his office door."Daddy please! You have to do something!" She had shouted."Now honey. There's nothing I can do! I have to honor their wishes! We have a legally binding contract! My hands are tied here!" I remember him replying."You could at least find out who murdered them! Her parents were killed and now she's being punished! Why should she have to leave! It's not fair!"
Tatum's POV:I'm standing beside my father's table waiting for Luna to arrive. The usual crowd of women has gathered around me and I'm slowly losing my patience. I have clear eyes on the door when one of the women places her hand on my arm. I quickly shake it off and give her a warning glance that causes her to storm off. All these women are the same. The hall is already packed and more party guests continue to come through the door. I suddenly catch Luna's faint scent in the air and I fixate my gaze on the door once again as it slowly opens.My eyes fall on Luna as she enters the large hall. I feel my breath catch in my throat and I'm in awe at the sight of her. Her black hair is styled in an updo with a few loose strands framing her face. She's wearing a halter style floor length gold sequin gown that hugs her body accentuating every curve. There
Luna's POV:"Mom, dad, this is Luna."Tatum speaks clearly."Luna, This is my mother Angel and my father Malcolm."Tatum says as he puts his hand on my lower back."It's so nice to meet you."I say as I extend my arm and shake both of their hands."Well we don't have to stand all night let's sit while we chat."Angel suggests with a warm smile and we all take seats."So this is the special young lady that Jack hired correct?" Angel asks."Yes she works with Jack at the bar part time."Tatum replies."How do you like working there?"Angel asks me as she looks at me."Oh I enjoy it quite a bit! Jac
