Mia's POV
I looked at Elissa as she said that. What did she mean when she said she had a big secret to tell me? Was it concerning the Pack? Or the disappearances? Was there a mystery to it?
"Mia?", She called.
"Yes."
I must have zoned out with all these numerous questions going on.
"I need to trust you on this."
She squeezed my hands gently for reassurance.
"You can trust me Luna."
"Please just call me Lisa."
She took one final look around
"Kane doesn't want you to be around David, he thinks you will distract him but he forgets that David prayed to the moon goddess for help."
I nod
"The moon goddess answered his prayers by sending you to him and I want to help this Pack by making everyone know that you are his mate sent from the moon goddess, our hope."
I frowned, so no one apart from the people in the Pack house knew I was his mate.
She pulled out her card and put it in the pocket of my hoody.
"I am going to convince Kane to let Kate take you to the school's library so that you will make a donation of one million to them."
"But…"
"Bye, Kane's coming."
She turned and left me standing there and immediately she reached the top of stairs, Kane showed up and they both stared at each other before walking into the house.
****
The next day, I woke up very early as Kate had come to tell me that she will be taking me out to see the school library. Luna must really have Kane at her fingertips for her to have convinced him that fast.
I entered the car and greeted Kate and she just hummed, hmm, it seemed that most of them weren't fond of me to start with.
She drove us out of the parking space and we spent time on the road before we arrived at the school's library. I really loved books, especially the ones about history and science.
I greeted the librarian, she was a charming young lady and smiled at me. I introduced myself. We spoke about what I came to do and I informed her that I had come to make a donation of money for books to the school, I told her the genre I liked and also others to add that I thought the children will love.
It was a fast process and I thanked her and pointed to the section of the library that contained the books that I loved reading.
As I walked, Kate followed closely behind me like a hawk following its prey. I turned to look at her and she stopped.
"There are chairs you can sit down and watch me from, you know that? You following closely behind me is a distraction."
She stared at me and I stared back. She was tall like six feet with black leather clothing and her long black hair styled in a high ponytail.
"Alright Miss Mia, don't get lost."
Her voice sounded as though she was teasing me but it was also laced with a tone I could not decipher.
I turned slightly and she left my side and went to sit down at a place where she could see me, I rolled my eyes.
As I walked further, there was a drop in temperature of the library, it became very cold, it was familiar. I went forward to where the temperature was lowest and when I made a slight turn to the left and moved further, there it was, a soul dressed in a large brown suit and a hat in his head. He held a suitcase in his hand and looked happily at the students reading.
I turned back and saw Kate still watching me with her hawk eyes. This woman.
I had to pretend that I wasn't mad because there were still others who were searching for books to read close by.
At the age of six, I found out that I had the peculiar ability to talk to souls of the dead and summon them at will which usually drains me out of energy.
I walked up close to him and locked up a book, opened it and pretended to read out softly.
"Hello."
He didn't answer me, he must have thought that I can't see him.
"I'm talking to you in the brown suit."
He looked around to be sure that he wasn't the only one who was wearing a brown suit.
" I can see you. I need your help."
His eyes widened and he moved closer.
" It's a thing of joy that I finally get to talk to a living being", he happily stated, " It's been ten years since I died."
I chuckled softly
"The pleasure is all mine."
"What do you wish to know?"
"There have been numerous disappearances going on…"
The soul cut her off
" Yes, yes, yes. A child named Mickey disappeared just yesterday, he was a sweet child."
" Did you see anything?"
"Of course, after school closed, he was waiting for his mother when suddenly he ran happily to the garden opposite the school."
" What happened after that?"
" His mother came, they could not find him and some kids who had seen him run there informed the school security officials, they went there and only saw his left shoe, no kid."
" Why didn't you follow him?"
" Ohh, I am only limited to wandering inside the school only."
" Oh", I sighed.
I wanted to ask him more questions but I shivered terribly and realized that my body was getting numb.
" You can't stay around me much longer. You must leave my side as long as you can see me."
" Right."
" You can check the garden next time, Mia."
" How did you know my name?"
" I heard you talk to the librarian and I know that you are the future alpha's mate. It is an honor that as a soul I got to speak to you first."
He made a slight bow to me and I smiled as much as I could. The cold was getting terrible and so I dropped the book back on the shelf and left before I collapsed.
I headed to the exit, thanked the librarian and Kate followed me immediately.
"I wish to go home."
"Of course."
We left the library, headed to the park and she drove off.
As Kate was driving, she reached an intersection on the road. A car drove with full speed aimed at the driver's side but Kate managed just to swerve out in time but the car hit the rear end of our car causing our car to spin out of control as I closed my eyes tightly and gulped in fear.
