The Rejected Luna: Daddy, Where is Mommy?

“Lemi, crouch, please,” Roselet said and then jumped from his back. She walked toward Ethlyn, hoping she would not shout at her again.

Cinder was mad at Ethlyn for talking like that with Roselet; that was why she blocked her human. She couldn’t behave that her human believed rudely with a pup just because she was getting attracted to her. But that wasn’t in Cinder’s control.

Just like a mate bond, she could feel connected to Roselet. Also, when Roselet called her ‘Mommy,’ she felt that Roselet said that to her after looking at her, not because Roselet was scared. Her human’s word was that she was getting desperate because they recently came to know about the loss of their pup.

“Mommy?” Ethlyn heard out of nowhere and looked at the source of the voice, lifting her head. She found Roselet looking at her in concern.

Roselet pulled out her hanky from her purse and wiped her mother’s tears with it. After wiping it, she looked at her hanky and spoke dramatically, “I’m glad that you don’t wear tons of makeup; otherwise, my hanky would have been ruined.” Roselet looked at Ethlyn to see whether her words made her smile or not but she didn’t smile at all.

“Feeling good?” She asked, keeping her hanky inside her purse.

“What did you just say?” Ethlyn asked sternly.

“Feeling good?”

“Before that.”

“I’m glad that you don’t wear tons of makeup; otherwise, my hanky would have been ruined.”

“Before that.”

“Mommy?”

“Listen, pup; I’m not your mommy. Just because you don’t have a mommy doesn’t mean you will call me mommy.” Ethlyn said rudely because every time Roselet used to call her mommy, her wolf used to get out of her control because of happiness and excitement.

“You’re my mommy. It’s just that this truth is unaware of you.” Roselet corrected her innocently. “And I have a mommy; what do you think about where I come from? My daddy didn’t buy me from the mall.” She then responded rudely to Ethlyn.

Ethlyn was taken aback hearing her, she opened her mouth to say something, anything, but no words came out of her mouth. While she observed Roselet, Roselet read the cemetery marker that Ethlyn had hugged.

‘In Loving Memory of Christian Junior Smith, 5th Dec 20XX.’

‘Beloved Son, Grandson & Nephew.’

“Who was he?” Roselet asked, sitting beside Ethlyn and touching that cemetery, thinking the person sleeping inside would be someone related to her.

Tears dwelled in Ethlyn’s eyes, and immediately her tone changed, “He was my pup.” After replying to her, Ethlyn started crying again while Roselet couldn’t understand. She wanted to ask a lot of questions, but then, she knew that her mommy knew nothing.

She observed the date again and started counting. Her real birthday was celebrated eleven days prior to Christmas, but this date was twenty days prior to Christmas and the same birth year. Calvin used to celebrate her birthday every month, just an excuse to celebrate a day with her by eating their favorite chocolate cake, just the two of them. But she knew that when her real birthday was celebrated, all her family members used to be there with her, along with pack members.

‘Uncle Colton and Calvin are twins. Aunt Lee and Aunt Tee are also twins. So, is it possible that I had a twin brother?’ She wondered, but she had no one to answer this question. ‘But how is it possible that he was nine days older than me? Only Calvin can tell me about it.’ She thought.

‘Or maybe Moon Goddess gifted me to Daddy and gifted my brother to mommy, and he….’

Tears started flowing out of her eyes with that thought. The fact that she had a brother whom she couldn’t meet ever saddens her even more than before.

Ethlyn stopped crying when she saw Roselet crying. Roselet hugged Christian cemetery and started crying loudly.

“Hey, pup!!” Ethlyn tried to console her, unable to understand why Roselet was crying as if her pup was also related to Roselet for real. “Ssshhh!! Stop crying.” Ethlyn pulled Roselet in her lap and hugged her close to her chest, and tried to calm her down.

“Tears don’t suit your beautiful eyes.” She said, kissing her hair.

“I… I.. had a bro.. Brother..” Roselet said between her cries. “… whom I.. I couldn’t me.. meet.” Ethlyn wanted to correct her that her pup wasn’t her brother, but it wasn’t the time to make her understand that part.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

At that moment, she had to just calm Roselet down, who wasn’t ready to stop her tears.

“Aahhhh!!” Hearing Lemieux’s cries, Roselet quickly looked toward him. She saw him in human form, and his arms were bleeding badly.

“What happened, Lemi?” She left Ethlyn’s lap and ran toward him, seeing him injured while Ethlyn sighed in relief when she realized that Roselet’s mind had finally diverted. Even Lemieux saw Roselet crying non-stop; that was why he injured on his own by wood and then threw it away. After that, he faked his cries to gain Roselet’s attention. He didn’t mind injuring himself to stop Roselet from crying, and by Moon Goddess’s blessing, he had the power to quickly heal.

“You’re bleeding so much. Does someone attack you?” She asked, checking his wound and then looking around in search of any danger. Calvin had taught her to run away quickly, seeing danger because she wasn’t big enough to fight on her own.

“This area isn’t safe. Let’s go to the pack hospital quickly.” Ethlyn joined the drama. “Lemi, I guess that’s your name. Can you shift?”

“Yes!!”

“Perfect. Shift quickly. I will place her…” Ethlyn said, looking at Roselet, “on your back. So that you can run away from here to keep her safe.”
