The Luna's Reclaimed Fate

Chapter 3 - Changing my fate.

Flare

“Usually, I spend some time with people I reincarnate before they return to their lives, but we don’t have much time, so I will bring you up to speed now in your dream.” She starts walking, and I fall in beside her without saying a word.

I’m convinced that I’m losing my mind, but I’m too tired to fight whatever is happening. She explains that my death wasn’t part of my destiny, and that this is my second chance. That whatever happens is my choice. That if I don’t change my destiny this time around, that will be it.

I will probably die, and I will not be coming back again. When she is done explaining, the weird but wonderful world around me disappears, and I wake up and note that it is dark outside. It’s almost as if the sky is trying to tell me something!

AFTER A WEEK of my friends visiting and my parents continuously checking in about birthday arrangements, I have made peace that I either dreamed it all, or … No, I can’t make peace with the second option. Simon wouldn’t have done that. He wouldn’t have allowed that.

Simon wouldn’t have lost all the pack’s money like that. He is a very level-headed guy. I mean, I’ve known him all my life. He has always been so good to me. He has always been so responsible. He took over from his parents with such ease.

He also wouldn’t cheat on me. Simon is a very loyal guy. He would be in physical pain if he cheated, wouldn’t he? Isn’t that how the mate bond is supposed to work? I feel nausea push up each time I think about the two of them together like that.

But my birthday is two days away, so I will probably find out then. I’m released from the hospital and the moment I walk into the house I feel as if I have DeJa’Vu. Omegas are busy preparing for the huge party literally everywhere.

I remember the cake standing in the kitchen and the balloons on the dining room floor. The shocker is when my dad accidentally steps on one of the balloons, giving everyone a near heart attack. That wasn’t a dream!

I might not have gone to the hospital in my dream, but I remember my dad doing exactly that! It is all real. Everything I thought I dreamed really happened. That really was the moon goddess and Simon and April really slept together, or are going to sleep together.

What’s worse is that Simon really is going to lose all of our money and April is going to poison me! The shock nearly makes me faint as nausea finally pushes through the barrier and I rush to the bathroom. When I return to my room, April is there.

“Hey bestie!” Her voice sends a shiver down the back of my spine. She is smiling at me as she walks into my room. April. My so-called best friend. The one I’ve shared everything with since first grade. Now that I know it all really happened, I can literally say that we shared everything!

“Hi April.” I can’t say anything to her. I can’t tell the person I’ve told every secret ever that I’ve been reincarnated. Not only is she going to think I’m crazy, she is also the one who is the cause of why I had to be reincarnated.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you happy? You should be shouting it from the rooftops.” She falls onto my bed and continues without giving me the chance to answer a single question. I sit down beside my desk and just wait while she rambles on.

“If I was you, I would be excited. I mean, you are the alpha’s daughter. I wish I was the alpha’s daughter. I wish I was turning eighteen. I wish I was the one about to meet the man of my dreams.” She laughs as she turns on her back.

“April! I told you to give Flare time to settle in. What are you doing here?!” My mother looks furious as she walks into my room. I almost feel like hugging her. I’m so happy she interrupted! April’s cheeks turn bright red as she gets off my bed and leaves with her head lowered.

My parents never really approved of my relationship with April, and now I understand why. They could never tell me why, but always just told me they didn’t trust her. Then there is Simon. My parents love him. It’s no wonder I am so confused.

How can they love one and hate the other? Mom helps me to get into bed even though it’s not necessary and the omegas start showing me one by one what is ready for my party and what still needs attention. It saddens me to see it all.

The first time I saw all this, I was excited. I was over the moon. I was hoping that Simon and I would be destined mates. I imagined an entire future for all of us. A happy one. Now all I could think about was rejecting Simon on my birthday.

I have to protect myself and my pack from Simon. I have to protect my parents from Simon’s greed. If he gets his hands on more money, he could ruin both packs and that I won’t allow. I won’t allow him to take what my family worked so hard to build.

ON THE MORNING OF MY BIRTHDAY, I get up early knowing that the entire household is going to try and fit into my room so they can all sing Happy Birthday. My parents are surprised to find me already dressed when they all come in, and I smile while they sing, but my heart is racing for a different reason.

As soon as that is over, I mean, I’ve already heard it all once before, I sit down so that the omegas can start with my hair and make-up. It’s not every day that a female alpha turns eighteen in our world. Not many of them make it to that age.

Nobody really knows why. Nobody has ever really tried to find out. It’s always just been accepted that females are the weaker s*x and that was that. After my hair and make-up are done, and I’m dressed, I meet up with the younger wolves at the diner.
