The Rogue Luna

Vixon My fingers burnt from the cold. My eye lids felt like they were only half open and being frozen shut. I felt the sharp winds whipping at my face. My blonde hair was matted with dirt and snow. My hands were bound with rope that were being held by the guard rouge that was leading me up the mountain. I knew it was useless trying to escape in my current state. My heart shattered as I looked around realizing how perfect my life had been just a few months before. I felt the first tear slip down my cheek the same instant my knees buckled and my body fell limp. Thick black darkness covered my sight. My eyes blinked as I sat in my backyard with my sketch pad. My siblings running around the yard. Their giggles and laughter filling the warm air. I was the oldest by over 6 years. As my 20th birthday was being celebrated and my youngest siblings ran around playing, My mother smiled warmly as she watched them. She had always been the strongest Luna I knew. I stood up and walked into the kitchen the familiar smell of apple pie filled my nose as i opened the fridge grabbing a bottle of water. The cool water glided down my throat as I took a long drink. I grabbed a photo off the fridge. The proud smile of an older sister hugging her 3 younger siblings. I smiled remembering the day I graduated and the triplets tackled me to the ground after the ceremony. They had always been the greatest surprise of my life. Mom wasn't sure how I'd feel about it. I had been so excited for a sibling and when we learn I was getting 3 I had started making them clothes from a sewing machine mom kept in my room. I suddenly felt cold and looked out the window as snow started falling. "snow in july...." I thought for a moment I was imagining the soft flakes I saw. Realization hit me too late. The frost rouge wolf pack from up the mountains had been on the move for months now. I felt the panick set in, No not now. I dropped my bottle the water splashing everywhere. My mothers screams sent my wolf raising to the top My heart pumping in my ears. I felt my feet jump through the doorway leading to our backyard. As my feet hit the ground I found myself looking into the red eyes of a rouge wolf with my mother between his jaws. My body flew into fight mode as I shifted effortlessly into my wolf. Her white fur moved slightly as I charged the rouge. I could only think of saving my mother. Her lips moved and I saw her say "I love you". What I wasnt prepared for was to be ambushed by 4 other rouges. Their weight crushing me to the ground. I tried to move away to get my footing to fight. I felt the sharp rips in my shoulders and sides as the 4 wolves attacked me. My wolf barely stood a chance as I returned to my human body. I looked up as my mothers tear washed face fell limp to the ground. My younger siblings laid next to her They were crying and holding her. I yelled for help but i felt a grip around my neck as i was hoisted into the air. My windpipe being crushed in the process. It hurt to breathe. Air becoming ragged as I tried to suck it in. The way I was held I knew I would heal. This man holding me His white hair and dark eyes would have made him handsome in another scenario. "Daughter of Alpha Blake Blackwell I am Alpha Sabatino, If you agree to surrender I will take you prisoner as my Luna, mate and you will live to serve me I will let you live if not I'll kill you now." My throat was dry. I couldn't breathe. Where was father? Everything was happening so fast I couldn't believe anything that was happening. My body was weak, Rage filled my heart but I nodded my head. Maybe I couldnt escape today but I would get away one day. My hands were bound and I was walked out of my life. As we left the territory I saw everyone I knew dead. I dont think they saved a single other person. My heart broke and so did my fleeting hope of escape as I saw my fathers dead body. I looked around looking for the triplets. Where they killed? I couldnt see them anywhere. I was too scared to ask either. If they had escaped they might just survive this mess. My eye fluttered open. I was being carried over someone's shoulder. I still couldn't move or talk. My wolf was hurt bad and I couldnt heal properly. They had kept spraying me with this stuff called wist mist that hide my scent and kept My wolf from healing. Not to mention they hadn't fed me anything in over a week. They had only been feeding me once a day but when a blizzard hit and we had to camp in a cave for a week they decided I didnt need to eat. That week had been the worse week of my live. Alpha Sabatino had forced me to do things I only wished to do with my mate. My body had been used. I felt nasty, dirty all the time. I looked down to see the ground as the soldier carrying me readjusted my weight to carry me easier. My ribs had been broken sometime last week and I hadn't healed yet. I felt a sharp pain in my side. I looked down over the edge of the cliff we were walking. I took a deep breath the pain of a broken rib causing me to arch up and off balance the guy holding me he let me go. My body trying to catch itself while ropes covered my arms and legs. I felt my weight stablize on the ground, but the ground suddenly vanished as I started falling down the side of the mountain. I felt the air rush by as I fell down the side of the cliff. My arms were tied to my sides and I could shift to stop the falling. I felt the impact through my entire body. I tried to move but my body was limp. I looked up I had to have fallen over 100 feet straight down. The snow started to cover my body. I was cold, everything was dark but suddenly warm hands touched me as I was lifted again. "Sir we found someone, she doesnt have a smell. She kinda smells of rouge.She looks incredibly weak." I could hear feet crunching the snow and I felt the heat of a light being casted on me. My eyes felt like bricks. "She looks horrible someone send a message to the neighboring Alphas see if anyone is missing a wolf, this one looks like she was captured by rouges. Someone else get her to the hospital. Our neighbors are all kind to us, I dont want a member of their pack dying on my watch." With that I heard a lot of movement and my body being raised. I couldnt imagine what was happening as my body was heavy and cold. When I felt a warm gust of air I tried moving but only caused myself harm and I let out a whimper of pain. "Well at least we now know she isnt dead yet. Nurse! We found her on patrol. We have no information she is not from our pack." The voice sounded strong but young. I still couldnt open my eyes very well but was able to crack them just enough to see the brown eyes of the man carrying me. He looked strikingly familiar. With my dry throat and cracked lips I mumbled a thank you as he set me down and I felt the doctors starting to try to warm me up. I felt heavy still as i drifted off to sleep. I didnt know how much time had passed. I just knew I smelled the most delicious scent in the world. It was like chocolate mint and forest mist all at once. I tried to open my eyes but it was like trying to pry a frozen door open after a blizzard. I felt a spark erupt on my arm as I sighed. "Who is this girl? A rouge? Kill her. The last thing I need is to be harboring one of Sabatinos whores." A concerned nurse spoke up. Her voice was low but I could tell she was a good nurse. "Sir please I don't believe she is a rouge...I think she was captured. She does have a rouge smell however she is weak. Maybe she just needs to heal. She also has started smelling different since we have been washing her and giving her water." I heard a sharp smacking sound as my eyes flew open and I saw a small nurse on the ground. I looked into the darkest blue eyes I'd ever seen. His dark hair cascaded down his back. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared into his eyes. He grabbed my face and looked at me his eyes filled with hatred and I didnt know why. "I will never want you, your not luna material and will never be worth a damn in my book." He let me go and I couldn't breathe again. I threw my food tray at him. Food spattered his back as he turned back to me with a fiery rage. Not the smartest move but as the daughter of an Alpha no way was I gonna let another Alpha belittle me. "I'm not worthless!" My voice cracked as I tried to talk more, but my voice disappeared on me. The Alpha walked towards me and I suddenly realized the trouble I'm more than likely in. I did throw Goddess only knows what at him. I looked at the bed I was laying in and the fact my arms were wrapped in some bandages. It looked like I had frost bite. "Then what are you then mutt?" I narrowed my eyebrows feeling pissed. I was not a f*****g mutt! I took a deep breath and hoped I have enough voice left to get this rouge crap cleared up. "I'm Vixon Blackwell, My father is Alpha Blake Blackwell" Suddenly my head felt heavy. I saw black spots and the man I felt drawn too even though he hated me faded into none existence as I passed out. First I lose my pack and now my mate hates me. When I finally woke back up I was in a empty room, well at least I thought it was empty. I tried moving my body but a sudden pain ripped through my side as I clutched it taking a deep breathe. Oh yeah I had broken ribs. "You should relax girl, until we find out if your claim of being the Alpha daughter is true you're a prisoner of Alpha Jenson. Here at Half moon pass wolf pack." The man sitting in the corner I instantly recognized as the man that carried me to the hospital. His brown eyes were calm but I knew he was suspicious of me. My eyes filled with tears as I looked at him. Half moon pass pack was over 300 miles from my pack. The hot tears burned my cheeks. I tried to calm down and take deep breaths. "My birth certificate is under the floorboards of my parents bed. Fifth board from the wall. everyone was slaughtered before the rogues captured me. Our house is white number 14, please believe me... I dropped a bottle water in my kitchen when the rouges showed up." His eyes grew large as he looked at me. "Slaughtered? That's gonna be bad for Alpha." His eyes glazed over and I knew he was mind linking someone I just didnt know who. Alpha Jenson I threw the she wolf that had been helping me to relieve stress off my bed. The second her scent of arousal hit my nose I wanted to throw up. She didnt smell like that girl. She didn't have that lavendar vanilla smell. Her eyes didnt remind me of the ocean. Her body wasnt much to look at either. Not compared to the curves of the Goddess I left at the hospital. I had heard from the patrol that Sabatino and his rouges had been spotted on our territory and that a girl had fallen tied and bound when they tried to escape. "Get out you're not cutting it today." I hadn't even bothered learning her name considering she is just another she wolf slut i found at the bar in the territory. Her eyes were watery but I didnt feel as bad as I did hearing about that other girl crying. The girl I'm supposed to love endlessly. My mate and other half. My packs luna. However in the past 2 days she has been in her coma like state at the hospital I still haven't heard word back from the pack she claimed to be a part of. I knew Alpha Blake had many children and his first born was just a few years younger than me. However I couldn't remember if he had a boy or girl first let alone a name. I had only recently taken my fathers position within the past 2 years. I had spent 6 years in deep training and traveling to packs that far stretched our borders. I remember while training a few years ago I had been to one Alphas pack and sworn I could smell that same lavendar vanilla smell i had followed it all the way to the Alphas house only to be told the Luna and her children had went to a neighboring pack to visit family and would be gone till I left for home. I longed for my parents to be here. Father had died shortly after I became Alpha. He had been fighting cancer for years and never told anyone but mother. She was shell of the person she used to be. Her heart and soul left the day Father died. I got dressed and headed downstairs in the pack house. I had recieved word the girl was awake and giving details of an attack on her pack. On my way out the door I turned and saw my mother standing in the kitchen. She hadn't stepped foot into the kitchen to cook in years, yet here's she was holding a fresh apple pie in her hands. "Mom? what are you doing in the kitchen?" She looked at me with a questionable look. Her hair was washed and brushed and put up into a high pony tail. Her silver hair swung around her face and down her back. She wasn't in her normal pjs instead was wearing a very nice sun dress. It was covered in apples and was a soft green color. with a shawl around her shoulders. "I was at the hospital yesterday and happened to noticed Alpha Blake's daughter Vixon was in one of the rooms. Her mother was my best friend growing up....I dont know what happened to that girl but I know she loves apple pie and I'm going to take it to her right away so she gets better. With her being 21 she will be finding her mate soon and I can't have her hurt laying in that bed any longer." This fire in my mother shocked me as she wrapped the pie for the journey. I reached out and offered to carry it for her. "No....I've been a mess since losing your Father and it's time I started acting like a mother again. Besides with her blood line I can't have a future Luna looking down on me as weak and feeble." I shook my head. My mother somehow knew this girl after just a glance into a room. I sent a message to my beta Jared that the girl was no longer a prisoner but was not allowed to leave the pack walls. I did need to verify her claim and make sure she wasn't a look alike to the Alphas daughter. "Noone would ever dare call you weak or feeble mother. Now how about I drive I was just about to head to the hospital myself to ask her some questions" My mother raised a finger into my face. Her face straight and She used he Luna voice on me. "Now you listen to me Jenson Wolfbane you are not going to hurt that girl. Let alone bother her with unnecessary questions. As far as I'm concerned that girl is family to me. The daughter I never had. She is hurt and needs her rest you will do good to go over there and treat her like a younger sister. with love and care. Dont you be treating her like the she wolves you have been bringing here at all hours of the night. She is a future Luna. And if what I heard is true we are all she has left." I looked at my mother. what did she mean by that. I disregarded the treat like a sister. I can't treat a mate like a sister. "what did you hear?" My mothers eyes looked pained and she suddenly looked like she did the day father died. "Her entire pack was slaughtered on her birthday week none the less. She was there when they killed her. when they killed Lacy." I looked at my mother. How had she heard this and I hadn't. "What about Alpha Blake? Surely her father wouldn't have gone down so easily." My mother shook her head. Tears daring to fall. She wiped at them quickly. "Everyone she ever knew or loved is gone son. I know because Lacy was more than a friend....she was my sister and I felt the sister bond break about a month or so ago. However yesterday when I was at my check up and I ended up stuck at the hospital I felt Lacey tap my shoulder and she guided me to her daughter." I looked at my mother stunned there were no records that she had a sister. I had family I never met? My mothers pack was a long ways away so we hardly visited since father was needed here. As far as I knew my mother was orphaned after a horrible war that killed not just her parents but her grandparents as well. My mother grabbed my hand. "I know what your thinking Jenson. Lacys parents took me in after the war. Me and her had a bond of the purest friendship. We were bond by the love of friends. We have been able to feel each other like sisters since we were little. Even though she is not my blood I still felt her passing. It was slow and painful. I beg of you do not cause her daughter any pain." I looked at my mother her icy blue eyes were full of regret. Probably from not seeing her friend in a long time. I felt my own heart melting a bit for the girl that was stuck in my head. I had accused her of being Worthless. of being nasty. I had basically rejected her. I felt my face drop as I realized the pain she most be feeling as I had taken a she wolf home with me. I caused her pain like none other. I grabbed my mothers hand and we left the pack house heading to the hospital. my mother spoke of her friend and the family she had only met once. Most of it I honestly didn't hear. I couldnt stop thinking about the fact that i was stupid enough to hurt my mate before i even knew who she was. My heart was beating so fast i couldnt breathe right. When we arrived I blankly followed my mother not realizing were I even was till I standing outside the doorway looking at the most beautiful girl in the world. Her eyes showed sorrow however she was laughing. I growled when I realized she was laughing at my beta Jared. Everyone looked at me and my mothers eyes narrowed as she looked at me. "Jenson!" I took a deep breath and then I turned and ran back down the hallway. My beta chasing after me. She hadn't laughed or even smiled at me. She had been terrified and scared when she was with me. "Jenson! Hey man stop running! Jenson slow down dude!" When I got outside I stopped and tried catching my breath as Jared caught up to me. I felt my body moving before I could stop myself. "Jenson man what happened? What's wrong with you? Look dude Vixon is a super sweet girl take the time to get to know her before you growl at her and scare her like that!" I turned around landing a quick punch on his cheek he stumbled backwards and grabbed his cheek. "What the actual hell man! What is your problem?!" I looked at him realizing what i just did was way out of line even if I am mad he had her laughing that sweet sound still played in my head. "Shes my mate not yours!" Jared looked stunned and then he started laughing, a deep heart filled laughter. I looked at him not sure what to feel. "Oh I get it so your jealous that she was enjoying my company and not yours." I felt my face heating up. I wanted to argue but I couldnt. Jared knew me better than anyone. That why I made him my beta, I could always trust him. "Look man you cant get mad that you assigned me to guard her and not allow anyone but female staff into her room. Do you know how hard it is to find a female wolf doctor? We had to get one here from the pack 3 towns over. She is hurting alot and not just from the injuries we see. Shes been having horrid nightmares about watching her family killed man. She needs you. I'm just a big brother for her to vent too, and before your growl interrupted us we were laughing about you. She has been asking about what she can do to fix your guys bond. However judging from her trying to claw her own heart out last night that you were busy satisfying yourself." I took a shallow breath. Damn it hurt to have my mistake thrown in my face. I felt my face falling. I didnt even know my mate for longer than 24 hours and was already causing problems for her. My mother would probably skin me alive if she knew that this girl was my mate. "I'm sorry. I'm not sure what came over me." Jared laughed his lips curling up. "Your an absolute mess man. Do us all a favor. Go talk to her. She isnt some demon bro. Shes a sweet girl." I let out a deep breath before heading up to her room. I could hear the soft sound of her laughter. Her smell filled the hallways even though I wasnt yet near her room. I could hear my mother. "you will have to excuse my son dear. He is an absolute i***t sometimes. I wished he would be kinder to you. He has this ridiculous idea that your some rogue. I know better though. you look just like her you know. Your mother I mean...she will always be my dearest friend. I hope you will fit in here well and that eventually my hot headed stubborn son will come around and stop being such a pain." I chuckled a bit and the room went silent. well I guess that's my cue to introduce myself fully. I just hope that she the fallen Luna can forgive me.
