Chapter 23 - Regret

***Lockhart's point of view***

After another disastrous shipwreck, Lockhart saved His Lunas father, lost some pack members and has a half full hospital of patients, that need to be treat. He can't help but regret how he treated Dahila.

Dahila and I, were working out in the pack gym. Everything was going well. Dahila mentioned joining her in the spa, but it caught me off guard. Sometimes, I forget how innocent she really is. It doesn't help the feelings that have started to brew for her. Having feeling for my Luna? It makes me sound crazy. How could our Luna have feelings like me, she's never unlocked her wolf form. We both have fated mates. Yet, I enjoy every minute we spend together. She startled me awake, I knocked her over that made me want to kick my own ass. I can't believe I knocked her over. I apologize and she seems to brush it off; I won't forgive myself. Everything is going fine and then all of a sudden she says we need to goes to the docks and then the soilders start the alarm call, something terrible has happened. Dahila takes off towards the front doors of the mansion. She swings the doors open and all hell has broken loose. The soilders are calling for my command and lead. Dahila yells she needs to save her parents. She takes off running before I can manage to say something, so I order the squad to follow her. I don't know what's going on but it seems like she can see something we can't. We follow her through the wall of trees, we must be headed for the docks. I can faintly hear calls of help out in the ocean, before I know it Dahila screams mom and plummets into the ocean after her. I am in awe of her courage and bravery; what a great Luna she will be. An unknown anger starts to well up inside of me, I know she can handle it but why is she so careless..I can't help be scared for her, I jump in after her. Her strength has been steadily increasingly . I can't quite keep up after her. She reaches her mom, I am so relieved. A wave comes crashing down on me, taking me underneath. I hit my ribs on the bed of the ocean, it hurts so bad. I can't let it stop me. When I reach the surface Dahila is no where in sight, I hope she is okay. I turn back and head for shore. I see Dahila pulled her mother out. Watching in amazement, I see her take off from her mother in the opposite direction. I push myself to swim faster. I reach the shore and Emma is chasing after Dahila. Dahila is running like something has possessed her. I pass Emma on the beach. I can finally see where Dahila was headed when I hear her scream "Dad!". Ethan her father our former Beta was lifeless on the beach. I pick up the pace and rush to aid. I can't let the woman I love loose her father. I mind link the nurse staff to bring the necessary equipment needed. Wait... what... did I just say love? I'm so overwhelmed and everything is chaotic. I fight to resurrect Ethan. Ethan has been a very good friend of mine for a very long time. I'm in love with his daughter? I can't think about that right now, I need to save him. When all hope seems lost, I finally get back his heart rate to normal and he spits up the water he swallowed that essentially drowned him. I'm so relieved. We have a small laugh. I direct everyone to the hospital, where I can observe her father a little longer. He asks about what happened; we tell him, but I let my emotions get the better of me and bad mouth our Luna. She yells at me and tells me she never wants to be friends anymore. I'm so awkward, I never let my emotions get the better of me. I can tell she was dead serious, I've never seen her like that. I'm so confused and I feel like an idiot because I hurt her. Can't she see that I'm in love with her and she scared me half to death? The added disaster was just the cherry on top for me and it sent me over the edge. I've never been like this before, am I going crazy? I don't know where she went but I checked on her parents and they were fast asleep embracing each other. Am I really in love? Why does seeing her parents like that make me so happy? I need to wrap my head around these feeling and not let it get in the way of my work, people are counting on me. The person I care about the most I let her down and now I'm filled with nothing but regret. I need to get some much needed rest. Am I really falling for our beloved Luna?
