Beastly

Chapter 59

wouldn't have believed it if the weight of her body didn't tackle me to the ground. Her familiar smell and the warmth of her hands surrounded me and overwhelmed by it and by how much I had actually missed it, I began to cry as I hugged her back.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, tears rolling down my cheeks, "How?"

"Girl, shut up and let me hug you as much as I want." her words were muffled and choked, making me giggle slightly as I pat her hair that was in braids "I've fucking missed you."

"I've missed you too."

That was how we laid together, on the cold ground as little flakes of snow began to fall. I stroked her hair softly as she cried hard into my shoulder. A warrior suddenly appeared in my vision, and obviously wanted to help us up but I raised a finger to tell him to give us a minute.

A little while later, her head popped up and a big bright grin was plastered over her face.

"Is it me or have you gotten buffer? What the hell have you been eating?" she asked, scrunching her eyebrows like she hadn't just ugly cried into my shoulder

I laughed as we stood up and answered, "Trust me. My muscles have nothing to do with food."

Her lively chatter started up immediately. She spoke animatedly of how the Blue moon pack was a beautiful place and how she had made friends with the pack warriors that she had been standing with. Although I had numerous questions, I let her say everything she wanted and gush about how she had missed me and more as we got into the car and drove off. She told me how it wasn't long that she had gotten in and had demanded to be taken to me at once.

I obviously couldn't wrap my head around the fact that she was here in the pack. What had happened during these few months for Xander to change his mind? I found myself pondering over it as we drove through town and towards the direction of Xander's house.

"Is it only you? What about Ben and Maria? Donovan and Freddie? What about-?"

"One at a time, jeez. Everyone is good and we are all here." The information made my heart soar and I found myself smiling in excitement as we pulled into the driveway. I could sense them before I could see them and once the doors were unlocked, I pushed myself out of the car and ran towards the door, pulling it open with little to no grace

My feet led the way and as I turned into the living room, I found them all, sitting and laughing as Gladys poured juice.

"M-Maria. Ben." Their eyes turned to me and what came after was the most heart-wrenching reunion ever. The familiar warm, firm arms of Maria wrapped around me and I found myself breaking down so quickly, it was almost unreal

The little drum of energy against my abdomen, which came around for the first time in a while, reminded me of who I was and the things I had been through. It reminded me of what my hands had done and the months that I had to be strong for myself and others.

It hurt. It hurt so much I found myself gasping for breath as I held on tighter, giving in to the feelings I had tried to ignore. Despite the loving shushing sounds I heard and the comfort, it did nothing to alleviate the throb of pain I felt. I was supposed to be relieved and crying with happiness, wasn't I? Like I had done when I first saw Astelle.

My family should get the same. I shouldn't give in this way and allow things to happen. Still, as I told myself this, I felt my consciousness slipping away as I nuzzled my head deeper.
