Luna skipped ahead of Wolf as they made their way out of his house to race. Baron had found them some races to kick some poser ass at. Sure, Luna had a major advantage with the pursuit tech, but who said street racing had solid rules? Nobody, that's who. She was going to win, she needed to pay off all the gear she had gotten. Luna refused to use Wolf's money for her endeavours.

"Finally, speed, cars, and the rush of the wind," she was so happy it made Wolf smile. "Time to win some money."

"Calm down," Wolf patronized. "The calmer you are the better you will do."

Luna grinned back at the man and skipped to her small silver car. She got into the car, placing the key into the ignition and speeding towards her destination. The racers circle in the heart of downtown, between all the territories. Her husband followed close behind in his Aston, he struggled to be as reckless as she was while driving down the highway of Fortuna.

The centre of the city was close and her breathing sped up. She was so close, so close to feeling her adrenaline rush from the races. The feeling was no other, and she was going to best it and become queen of that feeling. She was going to be queen and she had all the crews' support.

Racing "Royalty", She wanted it to prove that she was strong and that she only needed those who were close to her. Her family, Cat, friends, and her new husband were the only ones she could trust with her heart. Luna was slightly nervous of taking that spot, because of the possibility of people coming after those she loved.

However, she knew she wouldn't face those challenges alone. So, she could take a chance and gamble a bit to discover her path in life. All well ends well, right?

"Alright, time to get my head in the game," Luna cheered softly in her speeding car. "Time for glory!"

Luna took one last left turn and they arrived at the racing scene. The loud music could be heard through the closed windows of her car, and women who were obviously harlots walked in and out from between parked cars. Luna crinkled her nose in disgust, those women were another reason Luna wanted to prove herself. She didn't want to be anything close to those whores. Hopefully they wouldn't get all touchy with her 'husband,' right now that was the last thing she needed.

She finally found a clear space that could fit both her and Wolf's car for the time being. She parked the small exotic and shut it off. Time to see what Baron had found, slowly she exited the car, shutting the door. She decided to sit on the cooling hood of the Lotus and Wolf joined her shortly afterward.

Luna looked over at her lover, "please don't let the harlots get all touchy with you."

"I can promise that," Wolf chuckled. "I don't need them, I've got my wonderful woman right here."

She blushed softly and kissed his cheek, "Such a charmer you are."

"I do my best."

She watched him move closer and wrap his left arm around her waist. They sat like that for a few minutes before two people approached, Kenji and Angie. Luna was still a little bitter towards Angie, but they were still good friends. Kenji, well, Kenji was the same as he had been three years ago, and he was still one of her trusted friends.

"War? Really?" Kenji questioned. "Or was it just Wolf trying to get you into his bed?"

"No, Allan is back."

"Well damn," Kenji growled. "Looks like it's hunting time."

Luna got up only to be held back by Wolf, "he's mine got it!"

Kenji smirked, he knew why she wanted Allan's head. He wasn't stupid enough to get in the middle of the feud, not worth it.

"Okay, got it."

Wolf kissed Luna's hair telling her silently to calm down a bit. She breathed out quietly and leaned back against Wolf. She watched Baron appear and walk up to them holding a bag.

Baron grinned at Luna, she had become best friends with him in the short time they knew each other, "Got you a race between a Beamer, and a Dodge Charger."

Luna raised a brow and pulled away from Wolf, "the wager?"

Baron grinned, "can you spare 20k?"

She whistled softly, " 'course I can, they better be worth it."

Luna went to the passenger side of the car and opened the door to rummage through a money bag she carried. On average it carried 50k at anytime and now she needed 20k of it. It was risky but Luna needed the money, she couldn't stand taking money from someone else like Wolf. She hated the notion of borrowing money from someone no matter who they were. She gave the 20k to Baron and nodded to him, "get their money and we'll begin shortly."

"Whatever you want Luna," Baron smirked and tucked the cash into the bag.

He walked away towards a black and gold BMW M3 and a white and blue Dodge Charger R/T. She looked closely at the two cars and grinned, she could manage this. She had the Lotus, though it was not the dream car she always wanted, it was perfect for the job.

"I've got to get ready Wolf," Luna looked back at her man. "No time to waste."

Wolf nodded and got off her car before sitting on the hood of his baby. He was going to race later on, but right now he'd rather watch Luna beat a few posers first. She got into the Lotus and drove to where the race would start, the other two racers joined her after a few seconds of waiting. Baron approached her car, "This race is in Carbon Canyon."

"Really? Okay then, tell Wolf to meet me at the bottom," Luna shift into drive and started the drive out of Fortuna and towards the canyon.

Her car's purr was drowned out by the loud roar of the Dodge and the hum of the Beamer. She calmly made the drive up the canyon road that had taken so many lives of racers she knew.

It was time, they all turned around and faced the downhill drive. Luna swallowed softly, the last time she was here was when she had raced Angie. That was three years ago... She gripped the steering wheel in anticipation and flashed her headlights; then it began.

The three cars sped down the road, Luna cut off the BMW and was about bumper to bumper with the Dodge. She bashed the back of the muscle with her exotic and it swerved out of the way and she sped up to take the lead. Now, all she had to do was keep the lead. However, the muscle was persistent, the Beamer was also giving a fight and Luna had to scrape her car along the guard rails along the road to keep the lead.

"Bloody hell," Luna cursed softly. "The prize money will also go into repainting my car..."

The battle for the lead lasted the rest of the race, Luna had pushed the Beamer into a cliff wall causing it to wreck leaving the Dodge alone for her to deal with. She now had to make sure that on the long straight paths of the road that she stayed directly in front of the roaring monster muscle.

Several times the other racer had tried to run her off the road and she wouldn't let him do that. Finally, they had reached the last hill of the down hill race. Luna had the lead and crossed the finish line first. She was so happy she never saw it coming. All she could see was Wolf's car there waiting for her, then her car going airborne.

The Dodge had not stopped coming after her and successfully launched her car into the air. Both the Dodge and Lotus rolled over and over down the rest of the road till it flattened out. All Luna could think about was the face she had seen driving the Dodge after her car was sent into the air.

Allan.

The Lotus finally landed and so did the Dodge. The air around the two cars was silent, no sound was heard. Only the ticking of the rapidly cooling engines that laid within the shells of the wrecked vehicles. Luna closed her eyes softly, and opened them when she tried to move.

"Please no," Luna moaned. "Why?"

Luna groaned in pain and looked around the blurry remains of the Lotus. Colours started to mingle together into a soft colourful haze; her blood seeped onto the seats. Luna breathed shakily, each breath more painful than the last. She couldn't move, not like that mattered. Pain. She called out to him, called out to Wolf. She was scared, scared he wasn't coming to get her out of the car.

However, her calls were answered and Wolf had come, his eyes a blur to her, but he was there in front of her, pulling her body out of the remains of the Lotus Elise.

Allan could not wait and had attacked and it left Luna: weak, bloody, and scared. She was scared that all of her efforts were for nothing.

"W-Wolf?" Luna croaked. "I love you..."

Wolf kissed her hair, forehead, cheek, anything he could kiss, "I love you too... It will be alright Luna."

Luna smiled at his blurry face. It darkened and faded away to black after she saw him return the smile.

A/N: And I'll leave it there to end this chapter. I had actually written the ending before the rest of the chapter, that helped keep me focused on how I wanted to end this chapter. Allan finally, unknowing to Baron took the race offer in a 'disguise' and raced against Luna and another unnamed racer. Allan, however, had no intentions of letting Luna win without doing some major damage. Hope you liked the chapter. Until next time, ciao!
