I walk away cause I for one don't want to catch feelings again. Plus I also don't want to lose sight of her again.
I bumped into someone and they let out a small ooof.
I look down and see Lunas daughter Angel with a scowl on her face that quickly turns to a pout.
"Shit." I mutter just as she lets out a massive scream.
"Angel you're fine. Stop crying." I say tryna shush her.
"DADDEEEEEEY!!!!" She screamed out making me cover my ears.
Nathaniel rounded the corner with a pissed look on his face.
"I swear I didn't do anything. I bumped into her and she started freaking out." I state with my hands up.
"It's not you Ari; she's just traumatized of men and strangers." He says picking her up bridal style and carrying her to what I assume was the therapist while she cried in his arms.
"Geesh. What happened with her?"
I think out loud.
"Hmm, I wonder…"
I walk back in the direction of Luna and hover over her figure.
"So beautiful." I hear myself whisper out.
I lean down and place a kiss on her forehead and pour in what I assume is love.
"I would hate to rope you into any more than what you're going through. You never deserved any of this. I know you found a loophole and shit that's good cause I'd be dormant too if given the chance...."

I walked into what I assumed was the doctors office. Why the underworld and all our home places insist we be "up to date" like the humans is beyond me.
I asked which way to the therapist that Angel was at and after some persuasion I was lingering outside the door.
I'm sure Nathaniel can hear and sense me cause of his hearing but I don't care. I started listening to everything the therapist was asking Angel and her responses to everything saddened me.
Her wings are gone? Hmm, I think I can fix that. I walk into the room and as soon as Angel sees me she lets out an ear-piercing scream.
I raise my hand and silence her voice and Nathaniel gets up starting to charge at me but I fling him and the therapist back against a wall and hold them there while they yell and struggle to no avail.
"Angel sweety; you don't remember me but I remember you. You were just a few hours old when we met. I even named you." She stopped her silent screaming and calmed down and both Nathaniel and the therapist went quiet.
I changed my hair to dark brown and my eyes lavender and watched as her eyes grew as big as saucers.
She started rapidly speaking but stopped when she realized her voice was gone.
She walked timidly over to me and tugged on my sleeve. I bent down to her eye level and she stared at me curiously.
A cute smile overtook her features and then she reached up and touched my forehead and I saw a bright white light and everything went black.

"I'm sure he's ok. That was quite a blast of power she did on him tho. Haven't seen something so remarkable like that in a while. She's sure something special."
"Indeed she is. Altho I hate how she is attached to him now, I can also understand. But he deserved that blast of power." I heard the nurse and Nathaniel chuckle before I felt a small nudge at my cheek and I was out cold again.
***
I groan and try to sit up only to fall back again.
"What the fuck? Why am I strapped down?" I moan out.
"You're not strapped down. Whatever she did to you was enough to drain all your bodily energy." The woman who I'm assuming was one of the pack doctors said.
"Also you have a visitor." She said before walking out.
"Rude. She didn't even ask me if I was ok." I grumble to myself.
I close my eyes and when I open them again Angel had made it her mission to climb on the bed and sit on top of my chest with her face looming above me.
"You're heavy. Get off." I state with grumpiness and close my eyes as she scowls at me and pokes my forehead.
"What are you?" She asks me quietly.
"That's none of your business."
"You're wings are gone." She says calmly.
I bolt up and she falls backwards while I frantically start looking at my back. When I notice that they're still there I glare daggers at her.
"Listen here, you little twerp!" I start off grabbing at her shirt with anger.
"I dream of you and mommy all the time!" She yells out squeezing her eyes shut while covering herself in a protective manner.
I release my grip on her and she starts crying.
"You've only met me one time and you were a few hours old. Do pray how you dream of me. And also what the hell did you do to me to make me feel so weak and bedridden."
She lowers her head and starts fiddling with her fingers nervously.
"Well...I just..." Tears start pooling from her eyes again. She turns away from me and lowers her cardigan to show me two little stumps with black feathers on her back.
"I stole some of your wings." She whispers out.
"I saw yours and I thought they were pretty. I wanted them so I took them." She quivered out.
"Took them how?" I say with an edge to my voice.
"You're tired because I took energy from you to replicate your wings. The lady with beautiful teal eyes told me I could do anything I wanted to so I did." She said with a proud smile.
"It's not ok to take without asking first! You ask; and if they say yes, then that's different! You, however; drained me and I'm not happy one bit with that! What do you have to say for yourself because this isn't a moment to be proud." I say looking at her intently. She squirms under my gaze and tears start springing forth again.
"Enough with the crying. It's not going to pull at my heart strings so start talking." I firmly say.
"I wanted my wings again. I had one torn out by this man and the other fell off and I woke up as a werewolf. I haven't felt like myself at all. So when I saw yours I wanted them. These started growing on my back after I touched your forehead. They're black but I wanted my white ones. I'm sorry."
I gazed at her and rolled my eyes before ruffling her hair with a deep sigh.
"Just don't do anything like that again. The fact that a 4-year-old took me out is embarrassing. Now turn around." I say. She smiled brightly and wiggled around all to happily.
I chuckled and touched her back and watched as wings sprouted forth with a combination of black and grey feathers; some, a tad white.
They look too big for her small body but they also bring out so much in her.
I didn't have to say anything; she knew her wings were back.
"Thank you!" She exclaimed pouncing on me with a hug and a giant grin.
I chuckled a bit as she hopped off the bed and ran out the door shortly after, a giggling excited mess.
"Why I have a soft spot for kids is beyond me but fuck it I'm damned if that shit happens again." I say falling back; sleep taking over.
