Chapter 51

Sabrina's POV

I already began to hate the day before it even fully began. The only thing I truly enjoyed about today so far was breakfast with Kyle. I can't believe I went from not being able to stand him to craving his touch at all times.

Anyway, I had to get ready. Being a Luna was equally a whole lot of work. I was handling my presentation really well. I have my first doctor's appointment coming up but it's in secret, and I'm actually going with my mother. I know, who would've thought?

Today all the Luna's were coming together to the central ancestral ground for horse riding. But first, I had to practice using my powers, especially the one where my hands shot out a ball of smoke.

Kyle had been so helpful with the ancient books he brought that were supposed to help so these days, I'm always deep in medication, trying to figure out how to work it.

One problem I think I have is the fact that I was incredibly pissed when it happened, and I don't know how to go back to being that level of pissed again, so I wondered if it was a good or bad thing.

After I meditated and tried everything to use and it didn't work, I gave it a rest and rushed into the bathroom to prepare for the race.

I'm not usually excited about events like this but I got to meet other Lunas. I get it that we are all rivals but maybe I could make new genuine friends? I was more than open and excited. I wore leather pants and a jacket when I finished up and let my hair fall like a curtain all over my shoulders. I knew I looked good.

The driver had been waiting for me so I got in and we zoomed off. The journey was incredibly long, and I bothered my driver so much because I kept coming down to sight see when we got to an unfamiliar place that seemed really exotic.

When we arrived, I almost cried. The place was beautiful and the horses at the entrance all looked majestic. I couldn't wait.

But still, I didn't expect the view that I saw. Oh women were such beautiful creatures.

I had the driver drop me off, and he told me he was sticking around even though I didn't want him to. When he vehemently refused to listen to me, I realized that it was definitely Kyle's order. I'll kill him when I get home.

The driver can stay put then, when he gets bored to death he'll wish he listened to me and made use of the opportunity to slack off from work a little.

I walked in, all smiles. I was received well at the gate, mostly by people I didn't really know, yet I felt very comfortable. I already knew I was going to have a great time.

Now, time to make a few friends. All the Luna's had arrived and were in very few groups talking. The tension was so thick, it almost felt like they were only talking because we needed to work together to advance to the final stage where we'll race against one another for a clear winner. For this first round, it was a group win.

I found my name under a group and identified them immediately so I approached them. They weren't bad or giving off any weird vibes so we got along really quickly even though all our husbands probably hated themselves.

It was another group, the one next to us, that made me realize that truly, more terrible people existed.

Two girls approached us from there. No, they approached me exactly. I didn't even need to talk to them to realize they didn't like me at all from the energy I received and their body language.

The one in front eyed me subtly before she spoke, but I managed to keep a smile on my face anyway, in case I might be wrong.

“You're Alpha Kyle's Luna, right? But you were formerly Alpha Marcus’s Luna before your sister snatched him away because you can't keep a man. If I were you I would watch my back. Kyle is hot.” She said tastelessly, clearly mocking me out of the blue and for no reason.

I blinked severally, taken aback, shocked to my core. Were they so brazen that they were allowed to talk to me that way?

One of the women from my team was about to defend me but I put her on pause. This was my fight.

“No, don't worry I can defend myself.”

With folded arms, I approached her and clapped back.

“You're awfully mistaken. Kyle will never cheat on me. He loves me. I bet your husband doesn't love you, that's why you think it's okay to project your lonely and sad life on others. I really get it, and I hope your husband will have a change of heart.”

Her eyes grew wide while the women from my team cheered for me.

“You fucking bitch!” She tried to launch at me but I felt a force leave me and hit her, causing her to fall to the ground even though I barely touched her. It was invisible, but I know I felt it and it came from me.

“How dare you push me!” She yelled, sprawled on the floor. The women were quick to defend me, calling her crazy for saying I pushed her when it was clear that we weren't close enough for the impact and she was just trying to accuse me for nothing.

I looked down at her and saw anger pass through her eyes. I was honestly shocked too, because why did that force send her crashing to the floor unexpectedly?

Only the both of us knew I truly pushed her, and I definitely wasn't about to expose myself in front of other women so I walked away from the scene to get a breather.

I saw that her friend that came with her also retreated. When I came back, I heard she quit. I wondered the pack she was the Luna of, because she definitely wasn't a good Luna. There weren't any spare Luna's so their group was short by one member.

We commenced the race immediately and a couple of groups went down, all that was left was four groups. Somehow I was good at horse riding and was leading one, the Luna that quit, her friend was leading the other group and two other Luna's. As we climbed the horses for the final lap, representing our teams, she gave me a death stare.

Oh well. I get it. Her friend was mean and somehow, I'm at fault for it. Good and fine. I didn't even need her as a friend.

We began to race and I was leading, almost at the finish line even with all the odds against me. But I never made it like I was meant to. I was meant to be the overall winner.

At least she didn't come out on top either. It was another Luna, but I didn't see it happen because just before I would reach the finish line, I caught a glimpse of my sister, Laura in the crowd. She was smiling at me, but it was laced with evil and ill intent.

Why was she here? My lungs closed in immediately. I couldn't think. I couldn't breathe anymore, nothing. I immediately lost focus and stopped my horse.

Even though all the women on my side that were cheering for me kept yelling at me to get back, I just couldn't. I ran out of the field and straight for the car so I could rush home and call Kyle.

Good thing the driver disobeyed me and waited, because I swear if he wasn't around, would've panicked even more.

When I reached home, I rushed to the room straight up so I could calm down a bit and call Kyle but he was already in, shockingly.

I didn't realize how shaken and scared I looked until Kyle rushed to me.

“What's wrong? What happened? Tell me!” He sounded genuinely scared for me.

“I saw her. I saw her there.” I said like I was in some sort of trance, like I no longer owned my own body or voice.

“Who, what's going on?” Kyle sounded calmer now, and I knew it was to reduce pressure but it was still terrifying. Seeing her after so many years, after what she did to me. I didn't expect to panic this much but it still hurt.

“Laura. I saw her there. We had a horse riding race for all the Luna's to let out some steam. She's still a Luna after all even though she was in the crowd. I'm freaking out, Kyle.”

“I understand. I'm so sorry but you have to calm down. Now I know she was there. You have nothing to worry about because I went live today and exposed her identity. I'm sure she was wearing a disguise but you still recognized her because you've known her for years. Don't worry, I've set rules in place. She'll get caught soon.”

I shook my head vehemently. Every second she spent out there was to haunt me. If she wasn't away I wouldn't feel good.

“No Kyle, she was just there and I rushed here as fast as possible so if we rush back there, we'll probably still see her. We have to find her. Come on, let's go, please. I won't feel good if she's still roaming.”

I begged, pleaded, holding his hands and begging him to come with me.

He didn't want to, but I was clearly about to pass out from shock so we both went back to the field. I ran out with him when we arrived, looking for her and ignoring everyone that was trying to talk to me, incredibly distressed.

She wasn't there. I was smarter than this! Why did I let her rile me up like this when I should've known better? How much damage did she truly cause me?

Kyle sighed and approached me, worry lines evident on his face.

“Don't worry we'll find her soon. Just forget it. Let's go home and rest, please. She doesn't deserve to see you riled up like this. I promise to find her.”

I nodded, finally shedding tears. I really needed those tears for clarity.

“Okay.”

We headed to the car and went back home.
