The Lycan's Soul Mate

Chapter 10 Under Scruitiny

A few days had passed, and Luna had been going to school and occupied herself with being a normal

teenage girl. Soccorah had been her only good friend for the time being. It’s not that other people didn’t

want to be friends with her but in light of her change she just wanted to play it safe. She didn’t want to

get close to anyone only to have them start making fun of her again like what happened in the past.

Lucian the Gym teacher had been keeping a close eye on Luna but had decided to keep his distance

so as to not draw too much attention to himself or for fear that she would get spooked and tell her

parents. He didn’t want to lose her again now that he had finally found her. Now with the full moon on

its eve he was especially careful as his wolf wanted out and he felt powerful. He had decided to chain

himself up in his basement and wait out the decent of the moon so as to not go into the woods. He had

been keeping an eye on Luna to see whether with the advent of the moon she presented any other

changes, but she had seemed normal and Lucian thought that the spell that Luna’s mother had cast

must have been a very powerful one to keep her abilities suppressed for this long however, he was

wrong.

Luna had been struggling. She’d had some bouts of rage but luckily it had not happened at school. It

did not serve her well at home as her parents had thought her rebellious and were anything but

forgiving and had taken away what little freedom she had left. She had kept blowing off Soccorah’s

invites to her house but had finally decided to be disobedient and go to her house tonight. She smiled

as she thought of it but she was also nervous like hell. She had never disobeyed her parents. But she NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

was 17 years old and was sick of being treated like a child.

Soccorah had come to school herself today. Luca did not go to school today as he was still indecisive

as to whether he would go back home to wait out the transformation or stay and have a run in the

woods. Soccorah would have some alone time to practice some spells that she’d been dying to and

now that the house would be empty it couldn’t be more perfect if he did leave however, she would know

when she gets home. The full moon does amplify her family’s ability to practice magic.

As she walked down the hall deep in thought she slammed into Luna and the two of them both stunned

apologized to each other and headed to class. “Soccorah, have you been going over the notes that I’ve

been sending you?” Luna asked trying to make conversation. “Yeah, but I was kinda hoping that you

would take me up on my invitation and come over to my house sometime.” Soccorah answered. “It’s

not as if my family are serial killers or anything.”

Luna felt bad that her only friend had thought that she had not come over to help her after she

practically offered to help because she thought that Luna was afraid. In fact, coward was not even in

her vocabulary. Luna was so saddened that she asked for permission to come over that very night

however Soccorah had made plans to have the house all to herself so she rescheduled the invitation.

“Oh no. I’m so so sorry but you can’t come tonight because we have a family thing.” She lied. Oh, how

she wanted to have Luna over but with the moon being full this was her chance to practice those spells

and she couldn’t risk Luna finding out about their secret. “let’s reschedule maybe sometime next

week?” Soccorah told Luna. “Ok then; catch you later” she shouted as she made her way out the door.

She made her way to the empty Gym to try testing herself again as it was empty and there was no one

in sight. She grabbed hold of the rope and began her ascent. It was as if she had been climbing her

whole life. It was so effortless. Luna could not understand when and how those changes came around.

She got to the top of the rope and held on with her left hand and looked down at the Gym.

She heard the gym door open and as the noise startled her, she jumped down the 15-foot rope landing

on her hands and feet as if ready to pounce. Lucian looked at Luna surprised at what just happened.

Actually, he was very impressed but could not show it. “What the hell? Are you ok? How did you do

that?” he blurted out all at once. He really didn’t want it to come out this way but clearly, she didn’t

know what was happening to her and someone had to help her understand how dangerous it would be

if humans found out about us. He felt so sorry that she had grown up with no one to teach her about

her true self, that she was still living in the dark, confused. The thought started to anger Lucian so he

left the Gym to calm himself in his office.

Luna, startled at what just happened grabbed her bag and ran out of the Gym. She ran and ran until

she found herself halfway up the mountain in the wood behind the school. “Everyone is going to look at

me like a freak again. Oh my god. What have I done? I can’t go home. What if coach told someone?

No one would believe him. Afterall this was not normal. They would think that he was crazy.’ She told

herself out loud.

Looking at her phone she realized that it was time to go home. Getting on her parent’s bad side was

not in her plans tonight. She grabbed her stuff and hurried home. She started to run and to her surprise

she loved it. She felt the wind on her cheeks and the coolness of it on her skin, she felt it’s strength as

it took lifted her hair off her body as he ran. She got home in under 5 minutes which was startling as

she’d ran 10 miles. When she got home, she found her parents seated at the table. “What’s wrong

guys?” Luna said but stopped dead in her tracks as she looked at the dark-haired, well-built man

seated in her father’s chair next to the window. Her knees trembled and her eyes widened as she

stared at her gym teacher seated in her house.
