Chapter 72: She’s leaving

Just as Talia wanted to scream out, Raiden predicted something like that would happen and leaned over, closing her mouth with his hands.

Talia’s voice was muffled as she said something, her eyes moving from Raiden’s to Nancy’s.

"No one except the three of us know about this and we want to leave it as it is." He said in a low voice and when Talia just gave a nod, giving her confirmation to his order, he leaned back, releasing his hand.

"How did you know?" Nancy asked him.

"Because he told me... and before you ask any questions, No. He is not here. He’s probably reached Crescent Moon’s pack by now. So he called."

"What?" It was Talia’s turn to react this time before a shocked Nancy could say a word. "But he’s well aware that his mate is here. In Dark Risers’s pack. I’m still lost here because I’m wondering why I found my best friend, naked in his room looking like she ran a marathon."

"That’s because she did." Raiden replied

"But..."

"If you will let me finish Talia then you wouldn’t be asking so much questions."

Talia was raging mad but she cooled down when Nancy held her arm and patiently listened to what Beta Raiden had to say.

"He tried to reject her..."

She wanted to say something but Nancy grabbed her arm tighter and she just held Nancy in a hug, not saying a word.

"And she ran. She shifted and she ran... that’s why she’s... in this condition. He shifted and ran after her and she got tired from running and fainted. He couldn’t reject her in her state so he took her here, packed his things and left."

"If he really wanted to reject her, he could have waited for her to regain consciousness," Talia said the first thing that popped into her mind. "Don’t you think there’s a reason he just left."

"If there’s a reason, Nancy will find out herself from him."

The two girls exchanged glances .

"So you mean.."

"Yeah. She’s leaving to Crescent Moon’s pack with me tomorrow."

"Really??? You’ll... Take me there?" Nancy didn’t think Raiden would. She thought he wouldn’t hesitate to leave her behind like Koan. It was obvious that he had probably told him not to bring her along.

"Of course. You’re my Luna from now on so you’re my responsibility," he turned to Talia who looked like she hadn’t yet soaked in the news. "There has to be something you must have cooked up to tell your brother and the others about why Nancy can’t join you. Nancy and I will leave very early before anyone wakes up so no one will notice anything suspicious about the two of us leaving together."

Talia looked at Nancy.

"Do you... want to do this Nancy?"

Raiden knew this was his cue to leave, so he got up and left the two girls, shutting the door behind him.

"Talia," Nancy held her two hands. "I don’t think I have all it takes to thank you for all the love and care and support you’ve showed me over the years. You’ve been a great friend and a sister and I can’t thank you enough. But I want to do this. I want to strengthen the bond between I and my mate. I want to have a family and have responsibilities to take care of. I want to prove to my father and my step mum and sister that I’m not useless and dumb as they think. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone anymore."

Talia cleaned the years rolling down her cheeks and hers and held Nancy’s hand as well, close to her chest.

"Nancy you have NEVER been a burden to me and neither will you be a burden to anyone. I’m still your best friend and I will support you all the way. And if this is what you want, then go for it. But know that whatever happens, I’m just a call away, do you understand?"

Nancy nodded and smiled and Talia smiled too. They hugged.

As Jephthah narrated everything with a flushed face, John’s eyes kept growing wider and wider until Jephthah pushed his face aside.

"Stop putting your face close like that."

"Jeph. This has to be the most epic thing you have EVER accomplished."

"That hurts in so many ways." Jephthah said with a frown but John just waved his words away.

"I can’t believe she was naked and you didn’t touch her."

"John!" He almost yelled, his face red.

"Seriously, when you two are making out, try going for the boobs. Like this..." he held up his pillows and grabbed the edge, tweaking them like nipples. "I’m serious dude, she would go crazy over you."

Jephthah blushed.

"H-How are you even sure there’s going to be a next time."

"Uh...because I’m not letting you sleep in here."

"You’ve got your own room. Why can’t I sleep in mine."

"I will lock my room and crash in here."

"Why?"

"So you can crash with Talia."

"You can’t be serious. W-What about Nancy?"

John just waved his words aside as usual.

"I’ll just share crash in here with her."

Jeohtah finally threw him a pillow.

"You’re just crazy."

But he didn’t realize just how serious he was.

But..." John held the pillow in his hand with a serious, thoughtful look. "Is this what you really want?"

Jephthah looked up from where he was finishing up a sketch of Talia and frowned slightly.

"What are talking about?"

John sighed and came close to him and Jephthah tensed up because his brother looked really serious. And when he did, he always had something really important to say.

"You want Talia to be your fated mate, don’t you?"

"More than anything in the world." Jephthah said without missing a beat, a light glinting in his eyes like stars. But they died down when he noticed John still had that serious look on his face.

"John? What’s wrong?"

"Jephthah," John sighed. "We’re twins... you know that right?"

Jephthah almost flicked his head at the stupid question.

"So?"

"And we’re like two peas in a pod. We’re each other’s half."

Jephthah narrowed his eyes at him.

"Do you think YOU might be my mate?"

John hit his head with a pillow this time.

"No!"

"Then get straight to the point, John."

"70% of girls who are mated to a twin usually are mated to..." he paused looking Jephthah In the eyes before finishing his sentence. "the other twin as well."

The pencil fell off his grasp, rolled over the sheet of canvas paper and dropped with a thud to the floor, the sharp pointy end of the graphite breaking off to fall next to the door.

"What?!"
