Dear Luke,

My mother always tells me that when you love a person, you would do anything for them to keep them safe, even if it meant hurting them in the process. Maybe that's what I am doing to you. I am running far away from you to protect you.

Forgive me but this for the best, I cannot let those people harm you.

I've never been in love nor had someone in my life to call my family. All my life, I've been running from one thing or other. I was in nothing but complete agony until I met you. Remember the first time we met, you brought me anklets. When I first saw you, instead of feeling afraid, I felt safe. Maybe that's because you were my mate but that was such a strange emotion for me since I was so used to sleeping with my eyes open.

Every time I see a shooting star, I would wish for a family, a person to go home to. A person who will love me and cherish me with everything they had. How much can a wish be impossible to make it true that the whole sky turns dark? My life was like that too, dark and scary. But like the star, you came into my life making all my wishes true. Even though the time we spent together was less than a month, you made me the happiest person on the world giving me all the best memories to cherish on. I'll live with reliving those memories, it's enough for me.

Once again, I am sorry for hurting you but you deserve the best.

Promise me that you will not hurt yourself over this. Promise me that you'll find a new mate who could love yourself and be with you without making you choose. I want you to be happy. I know, I haven't said those three words out loud to you but do know that I love you with all my might.

My mom is right, when you love a person with so much intensity, you'll not think twice to burn yourself and that's what I am doing. I am doing this for you, for us.

Hell, I don't even know what I am writing. See, I swore, I used the word hell, the one you use often. I'll miss you, I'll miss your warmth, the way you made me happy, the way you made me feel safe, the way you learnt to cook for me, I'll miss everything about you.

I love you, I know I should've said this out loud to you instead of confessing it in the paper like a coward. But I know I'm too weak to deal with the pain of hurting you more. You may wonder why am I saying it now because I want you know that I didn't leave you because I don't love you. I left you because I love you too much that I don't want you to get hurt.

Don't search for me. This is my last wish from my bucket list. If you do that, I'll be happy that I get to fulfill all my wishes with you. Sorry and thank you.

P.S: I still have a part of you with me, remember? So don't worry.

With love,

Your Wallflower.

Love you <3

I reread the letter for the nth time, it's the only thing that keeps me sane. She left, she left because of me. If only I told her the truth before, she wouldn't have left me. I should've told her that I am the king and as long as I am alive, I'll keep her safe. I should've told her that I don't care about the things she's done before and I'll always love her no matter what.

But I didn't, I lied to her thinking that I can make it right before I can tell her the truth. Instead, I lost her. She left because she wanted to protect me from that bastard king. She left me for no reason, she hurt us for no reason. If only I told her the truth.

I wanted to go out on a searching spree for her but her letter is what stopping me from going to find her. How can I go when it's her last wish? I promised her to fulfill all her wishes. Me going on a searching spree meant, me breaking the promise I made and then I'll be one of those people who hurt her heart by breaking the promise they made to her.

I never believed in God, hell and heaven. Still here I am doing nothing but praying to that nonexistent supremacy to bring her back to me so that I can explain her everything. I know, I sound pathetic but I want my mate back. Life without her is torture, it's too much for me. Even though I'm living in misery, I'll keep living. My people need me, I have to be sane for my kingdom, they trust me and I will be there for them even if it meant hurting myself.

It's been a week since my mate left me and I have no clue how long should I be in this misery.

"Aurora is here your majesty," my guard bowed.

"Let her in."

"Lucas," she came with a grin on her face.

I kept the letter aside and looked at her for her to proceed.

"Mom wants us to go shop together for our wedding," she smiled as she sat on my couch.

Shit, I completely forgot about the arrangement made. There's no way I'll marry Aurora. Even though she's an amazing person, my heart belongs to Luna.

"Aurora listen," I paused taking a deep breath. For some strange reason she smelled like Luna.

Maybe I am going insane missing my mate.

"What happened Lucas? You have some work, it's fine we can go in some other time," she gave me a soft smile.

Hell, I hate to hurt such a sweet person but I have to tell her the truth. It's not fair for her.

"Aurora, you are an amazing person but I am not the one for you. I don't see you that way, I'm sorry."

Shit, I suck at this, why can't this be like sorry Aurora, I don't want to marry you and bye?

"What?" she stuttered, "Stop pranking me Lucas," she let out a small laugh.

"No, I am serious. I don't want to marry you. I cannot love you like you expect me to do Aurora. I cannot make you happy, find someone who deserves you."

I know I am a hypocrite, even my mate said the same. Find someone who deserves you but my mate is the only one I need even though I am the one who don't deserve her.

Aurora fisted her hands tightly taking small breaths trying hard not to cry. I know I am looking like a psycho but I need to this for her, for us, for Luna.

Even if Luna didn't come back to me, I too would rather live with our memories than being with someone else. I can't do that, being with someone else makes me feel like I am cheating on my mate. I already feel terrible for lying to her. I don't need more reasons to make her hate me.

"I don't expect you to be some romantic hero and stuff, whatever you give me is enough Lucas," she sniffed her eyes full of unshed tears.

I ran my fingers through my hair. Shit, why is this so hard.

"No, it's not you Aurora, it's me. I cannot look at you that way and it's not fair from my side to cage you in a loveless marriage."

What more should I tell to convince her?

"Did you find your mate? Is this because of that?" she finally let out the tears she's been holding on.

I shook my head, there's no way I'm telling them about Luna.

"Then why?" she gasped, "Do you already love someone?" she asked.

I do, it's my mate.

"No, why can't you understand Aurora?" I groaned in frustration.

"Luke," she cooed.

I growled in anger, "Don't call me that," only my Luna gets to call me with that name.

"I'm sorry Lucas but I really like you," she wiped her tears.

Why the hell is she not understanding? I closed my eyes, touching the ring in my forefinger, the ring Luna and I exchanged. The promise ring, memories of her flooded through my mind making me miss her more.

"Lucas, I really like you," she whispered again.

"I'm sorry Aurora, I don't like you and I cannot marry you." I spat those words out.

I tried my best not to be rude but she is not understanding.

"I get that, just answer me one thing," she waited for my reply.

"What?"

"You don't have anyone in your life right, no one's in your heart, right?"

I do, my heart is been taken by my wallflower, my innocent mate.

"No," I lied.

There's no way I am going to share this with Aurora, she knew Luna already, what if she hurts her because of me? Already my mate left because of us vampires, I don't want more trouble for my mate.

"Then I'll wait, I have faith that I can make you like me. For now, I'll ask my grandpa to postpone our marriage," with that she left not giving me a second glance.

What the heck?

A/N: Like Luke, what the heck?

Luke: Even though you are my creator stop calling me Luke, only Luna has the right to call me that.

A/N: Ok Lucas. My bad.
