At the call of the moon

Her soul mate. Her fucking soul mate. Not Jake, but Carter. Lexa’s head started spinning. Oh goddess. She was wrong all along the line. THEY were wrong all along the line. She looked up and met Carter’s eyes, just as hallucinated as she was. Why didn’t he say anything? Maybe he was disappointed? Anguish gripped her throat and a tear rolled down her cheek, which Carter wiped away with a kiss.

– No, oh no… don’t cry, don’t cry.

He sprinkled her face with kisses. He was delighted. But she… Was she crying because she was disappointed? If so, he would totally understand. He was not Jake, the strong, dominating Jake, the one she had believed all her life to be her soul mate. He knew he was just a… wolf cub. He also knew that it was too late, that she was his, and that he would never let her go, even if it meant keeping her against her will. He was about to say something to her when she kissed him passionately and he broke the kiss, chuckling:

– So I guess this is the moment I tell you that I love you? And that it’s a pity, but you belongs to me alone ?

She laughs, kissing him again:

– yes, it’s exactly the right time!

then something struck her:

– What the… How am I going to say that to Jake?!

Despite the happiness she was feeling , she felt like the ground was crumbling beneath her feet. Everything she had ever believed, her whole life was a mistake. And she couldn’t help but think: what would have happened if she had let Jake bite her and claim her ? Would she have spent her life regretting? Would she still be happy? She was going to sink into a spiral of stress, but Carter pulled her out by kissing her forehead while saying, calming and reassuring her:

– Well… We’ll talk to him about it calmly, and if he gets mad, you leave it to me, because I know you don’t want to hurt your friend, and he’ll be less in bad shape than he would have been if. you take care of it.

She couldn’t help laughing again:Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

– Yes, haha, I’m glad it’s you, Carter.

He smiled as she curled up against him and tightened her embrace.

– Me too, Lexa, me too.

They walked back to the lair hand in hand, their bites in full view. Nia, Franklin and Caleb widened their eyes when they saw them coming.

– What the hell is this!?

-Fuck !

– What . the . hell .

They smiled as they approached, and Niella grabbed Lexa, leading her away.

– What has happened ?! I thought that was Jake your mate? Idon’t understand anything .

The blonde shrugged.

– I don’t know either, it just … fell on us.

A noise caught their attention : Jake was there and had thrown himself on Carter, shouting:

– She’s mine! MINE !

Franklin and Caleb separated them, and as soon as they released Jake, the latter jumped on her, shaking her:

– How dare you?! You’re mine ! You had no right to let him claim you!

She had tears in her eyes and preferred to let his anger pass , understanding the reason . Suddenly, Carter grabbed Jake’s arm and hissed.

– Don’t put your fucking hands on my mate .

Jake snarled, but knowing he was outnumbered , backed off and walked into the forest , glaring at Lexa. Her heart was completely torn between her joy and the pain of her tattered relationship with Jake. She slid against Carter and hugged him, not taking her eyes off the spot where Jake had disappeared.
