Elera's POV:
I have always wondered how my encounter with my mate would be like. Praying that it might go well. Unfortunately fate always finds a way to surprise us. I wouldn't have expected to find him right when I first shifted. I couldn't have imagined it. Now here I am missing out in the meeting because I can't get over the fact that he is simply what I had hoped for. I had always prayed to the moon goddess to give me a mate who would treat me like an equal. I am happy, but I'm afraid that this love may not last. I can't have a mate knowing that I still need to defeat my uncle and save my mom. I laid on the floor under the tall trees of the forest just thinking about my situation. Breathing in the calm air. I opened my eyes to see the atmosphere. I saw the trees as they moved with the wind. I knew I was overwhelmed with everything that has occurred. "Should I reject him?" I asked snow. "NO! You can't. He is ours and I won't let you do that!" she said angrily at the thought of it. I am worried if my uncle discovers me he will kill me or kill him. I can't let him get caught by all of my troubles. I wouldn't know what to do if I lost him. I think I would simply die or destroy the world leaving no one alive. I don't want him to be lost. I debated with myself. I love him, but I just can't be with him. How could I let him suffer my fate with me? I simply wouldn't forgive myself if I ever allow him into my world not knowing if he will survive. I'll talk to the alpha. I will ask him to send me to a college far from the kingdom. I need to leave. He will probably agree and send me to the neighboring kingdom. I will just have to hide from him. "Snow what do you think?" I pleaded to my wolf. " As long as your with him you will be safe." She said as if she knew something that I didn't. "I HAVE TO KEEP HIM SAFE! Don't you get that?" I screamed through the mind link. " I know you do, but what if he gets hurt for leaving him? You would still hurt him," she said with a gentle voice. She was right. I couldn't leave him, but I couldn't let him get seriously hurt. I will have to leave and meet him someday. Even if I don't know who he really is. I will look for him once I have claimed my throne and rescued my mother and destroy my uncle. I will look for him. I promise. I need to leave now without anybody knowing. I will ask Carl to help me. I will beg him to help me. He will have to agree since he knows the situation more than anyone here. I'll go to Emma now and give her my farewell. I have to leave or my mate will ask them to take me with him. I ran back to Emma's house. After a few minutes, I was finally at the door. I opened the door lock with my key and ran to my room. I started packing. "Emma!" I yelled out her name to see if she was home. There was no answer. I had finished packing and I decided to leave a note. The note will have to be left somewhere only she can find. I know she will. I am sad because I have to leave her like this, but things are not looking so well. I ran to where Carl is supposed to be. Since he isn't from willows pack he is not allowed to enter any meetings even if he is my trainer. "Carl! Carl!" I yelled almost out of breath. "Elera? What are you doing here?" He asked worriedly. "Listen I don't have a lot of time. I met my mate and I'm afraid he will get hurt if I involve him in my problem. I have to leave for the neighboring kingdom. Will you come with me?" I asked him with hopeful eyes. " Elera, I don't think it's a good idea to travel with me. Your uncle's men will recognize me and probably find your identity. It's best if you leave alone." he walked me to the living room as he spoke. " I will give you the money your mother left for you. I will also be giving you the pass to the prestigious school of Scarletmoon. I know that you will be safe there. No one will know you. I am sorry my princess, but this is a journey you must make alone." He said in an apologetic tone. " Thank you, Carl, for everything!" I said with a tear threatening to come out. My entire childhood I had been with him and now I had to run again. I need to train and become even better then any alpha out there. I have to as the princess of Midnight Moon. "Elera it's time for you to go," he said walking me to the door. " I will miss you." He said. I ran to the border and on my way there I heard a howl that made everything around me shake. I turned my head back but continued to run forward. I am sorry Shane, but for love, I must leave you. I will meet you once I have completed my mission. Please wait for me my true and only love.
