---- Samuel called me again and again. His mind raced with thoughts of where I might have gone. He staggered through the streets with uneven steps, searching for me but finding nothing. Samuel jolted awake from the nightmare. His hand frantically reached for the space beside him. But there was no one there. Only the silver moonlight spilled across the empty bed. Iused to have trouble sleeping. He had seen me wake up in the middle of the night with tear-streaked cheeks. Iwas such a light sleeper that when he came home late from pack duties, I always stirred. He would hold me close and whisper apologies until I drifted back off. Even though I hadn't even opened my eyes, I still reached out to hold him and softly asked if he was hungry and if he wanted me to make him something to eat. ---- He remembered the soft glow of the nightlight. While feeling my warmth in his arms, he had only one thought-he wanted to form a mate bond with me. He wanted me to be his Luna. Me, not Cherry. But now, I had nothing to do with him anymore. The night I ran out, he lost it. He called me again and again. He couldn't even remember how many times. He spent every day repeating the same cycle-dial, hang up, redial. However, I never answered. One night, after a business event, his subordinate, Luke Walsh, tried to get him to go home. Samuel refused. "Call Sherry," he slurred. "Tell her I'm drunk. Ask her to come get me." He knew my number by heart. ---- Luke dialed. It rang a few times before it connected. Samuel watched him, hope burning in his eyes. But after a short exchange, Luke put his phone down. "Let me drive you home, Alpha Samuel." Samuel couldn't control his temper. He grabbed Luke by the shoulders and shook him hard. "What did Sherry say?" Luke sighed. Samuel could tell that there was pity in his gaze. "Luna Sherry said she's not coming back." "Are you sure that's what she said?" Samuel didn't care about his appearance anymore. Red-eyed and reeking of alcohol, he was every bit the drunk man. Iused to come and pick him up, but not anymore. Samuel stood there, straight and stubborn, under the streetlight. "She'll come. I'll wait right here." Luke had no choice but to wait with him.
