Healing His broken Luna Book 2

Chapter 1 – London

"No, No, ... NO!" I jolted up in bed, heart racing and sweat beading on my forehead. I was a tangled mess in my sheets. I looked around and saw nothing. The room was cloaked in darkness and I could hear the rain pelting the windows.

It was the same dream, always the same dream. I'm running through a burning forest with red eyed creatures chasing after me. My wolf wants to stay and fight but I'm desperately searching for something, as if my life depends on it. Nothing in the dream makes sense as I frantically try to capture an angry raven. Just as I get near enough my outstretched hand trying to clasp its tail feathers, I fall into a black pit.

The soft blue numbers on the digital clock read four o'clock in the morning. I push the blankets away and step over to the glass door that leads out to the small terrace from my bedroom. As I slide the door open, I inhale the clean fragrance of the fresh rain. I love the scent of fresh rain. The rain was calling me, and I stepped out.

With my eyes closed, I lift my face and let the rain caress my skin. I stood for a few long moments trying to forget the peculiar dream I've been having for the last three years now. It may be four in the morning in London, but Greece is two hours ahead. I consider calling my grandfather, but I don't want to worry him.

My grandfather, Alpha Dimitri Theodorus, is one of my favorite people in the world. We've always been two peas in a pod. I've been in London for a month now, and he's already visited twice. I graduated high school earlier than most and went on to the university to study music. I've been playing the cello for as long as I can remember and when I turned twenty-one, two months ago, my mother let me audition for the London Orchestra, which is one of the finest in the world. I was selected to play and have moved into a flat in London.

While my mother was reluctant to let me leave our pack territory, my grandfather convinced her to let me follow my dreams. He believes no one could stop or alter their destiny. My grandfather, grandmother, and mother, all have a strong belief that I'm destined for something special. Something that has to do with an old family prophecy.

When I moved to London, they all came to help me find a suitable flat. Location, security, and access seemed to be a top priority for them. My grandfather insisted on a beautiful large flat, in the heart of London and paid the lease for the entire year. I would have been perfectly content with a studio or single bedroom, but he wanted to make sure I had plenty of room to practice and bedrooms for guests. I was currently alone in my three-bedroom flat, standing on the small terrace with a side view of the Thames River.

I miss my grandfather most of all. I'm not only his youngest grandchild, but I'm the only female Theodorus grandchild. My father had four older siblings, two brothers and two sisters. They all had sons. Uncle Kyros became Alpha of Olympus Blood Moon after my grandfather, then he passed the pack to his oldest son, my cousin.

I have no known family on my mother's side. My mother was an only child and so am I. My father was the last known Alpha of Alpha's, who passed away before I was even born. I am all my mother has left of my father who loved her more than life. They say I look just like him.

I opened my eyes and looked up to the sky. I wish I could see the stars tonight, but the sky was covered with dark and stormy clouds this morning. Most humans have a hard time seeing stars in big cities because of all the light pollution, but I'm not human. My werewolf vision allows me to see things more clearly and at greater distance.

I was named after Queen Cassiopeia, who was turned into a constellation in the stars by Poseidon. My father's bright star is also found in the Queen's constellation. Gazing at the stars always makes me feel a little closer to my father. Sometimes on bright beautiful nights, I take my cello and play outside for him.

Feeling the rain soak through my long sleep shirt, I stepped back inside and stripped it off. I felt energized and going back to sleep was not going to happen, so I put on my work out clothes and sneakers. My apartment building has an indoor swimming pool and a full gym on the main floor. I took the lift to the lobby floor, walked to the end of the north hall, and tapped in the code to access the gym.

I had the whole place to myself, which was good. Being a werewolf made me stronger and faster than humans, so even a regular human workout was more of a warmup for me. I stretched a little and quickly made my way to the weights before a human joined me in the gym. I had just finished with my repetitions when I heard footsteps approaching the gym door.

"Hey Cassi. You're up early." Conner greeted me.

"Yeah, the rain woke me, and I couldn't get back to sleep. How about you?"

"I'm always up this early for training." He told me.

"Training?"

"Weight training." He smiled and moved towards the weight stations.

"Oh, right. Well, I'm just wrapping it up, have a good work out." I said as I grabbed my towel and water bottle.

"What are you doing later today?" He asked.
