Chapter-17

-The Luna

Anna's POV

"How about this?", I asked my mother as I took out another dress which is of dark green in color and put it on me, just to check out how it looks on it. She took a look at it keenly before answering. I am trired of trying clothes one after another.

"Good, but not great", she replied and took out a white dress from the closet. All the dresses were bought by Bane before I came here. Most of them still have rate tags on them as I didn't use them. Also it has been only a few weeks since I came here and there are a lot of clothes, I can't wear them all at once. So, now I am checking each one of them and trying to decide what to wear on tonight's party.

"Wow! It's so beautiful mom!", I exclaimed as I took it from her. She smiled.

"Now get ready. It's already six. The ceremony will start at seven thirty right", she said pushing me to the bathroom. I smiled and went to the bathroom. I closed the door and soon my mind diverted on Bane. He left in the morning and still didn't come home. He didn't even have his lunch. I can't stop thinking about him. I am worried. I tried to mind link him, but it is closed as he was busy.

Try again now, my wolf suggested.

Okay, I agreed and concentrated on mind linking him. It's still closed. Why is he so busy? Is he okay? Why is he not responding? All the questions ran through my mind as I tried to mind link him. I tried harder to push his link barrier and it finally worked.

"Bane!" , I shouted.

"Anna. Anna! Sweet, are you okay?", his worried voice asked. It's so rare to hear emotions in his voice.

"Yes. I am fine. But, where are you? You didn't come home for lunch. Is everything okay? Are you okay?", I asked all the questions that ran through my mind.

"Don't worry about me. I am good. I was busy in pack business. I will come home soon. Don't worry about me. Get ready soon and don't go out till I come home. Take care", he said before closing the link.

I frowned. Why is he closing the link? He is definitely hiding something. I shook my head to shake away all the thoughts and got into the shower. I washed my hair and cleaned myself. Wrapping a towel around myself, I went into the closet that is just beside the bathroom and dried myself.

I took the white dress and wore it. It reached my thighs and has sleeves that ran over my shoulder, leaving my hands sleeveless. My long brown hair fell to my waist from one side and the remaining is at the back. I wore a pair of white diamond studs and put on a white bracelet matching my dress and came out. My mom stood up once she saw me and she is looking at me in awe.

"Oh my dear! You look so beautiful. Bane will sure love it". I blushed on her last line.

"Mom!". She came to me and held my face in her hands before kissing my forehead with love.

"You already turned eighteen. You father would be so happy to see how old his Baby girl has become", she with tears in her eyes.

"Mom", my voice came out as a whisper. I can't stand seeing her like this.

"See it's already seven. I will go and change too. Your brother must be in his room sleeping. I will go and wake him", she said as she patted my cheek and smiled before leaving muttering how my brother has no time sense about when to sleep. I smiled at her and looked down thinking about dad. Just then my phone rang. I went to my night stand to take it. I saw the caller ID and it's Josh. I smiled instantly.
