Chapter 13. What is Happening?
1817 Words
Rose.
I am woken to an alarm sounding, followed by my door slamming open. Sandra comes running in.
“Come with me.” “Wha… what i… is happening.”
“There are rogues on the northern border. Adam sent me to take you to the safe room. Come now.”
With no time to process what she said as she is dragging me out the door. I don’t question it, just follow her.
My mind is going in so many directions. Why were they attacking? Is Adam okay? Are we safe here in the pack house? And so many more. That I did not notice how we made it to the safe room.
“In here.” Sandra pushing me into the room. “Is everyone here?” She asks one of the lady’s that is standing there with a clipboard.
“Yes Luna, now that you are here and Luna Rose. Malcom can shut the door. Alpha Adam Linked me to say that you are to stay here. Is that correct?”
“Yes, Nia, He wants me to protect those who can’t fight right now.”
The one that is called Nia nods her head. I turn and sit on a chair that is around the room. Taking everything in, there are beds, chairs and a small kitchen. You can tell it’s not meant for long-term stay. My nerves must be showing, because a little blond boy comes up to me. “It’s okay Luna. Alpha and Daddy are out there and they are the best. I am going to be just like daddy when I grow up.”
“Y…yeah? Wh…who is yo..your Da…daddy?
“The beta. I am Future Beta Luke. Daddy says when you have a Baby I will be their best friend, like a big brother. As Alpha has been to Daddy,” I can’t help the smile this little boy brings to my face.
“Th..Thank… Y..You.”
“Of course Luna. Daddy says it’s the Beta’s job to help the Alpha and Luna. You looked sad, so I Did my job as future Beta.” He says very matter a factly. Ember chuckles in my head.
“I like this Kid, Rosey. He is adorable and smart. He will make the perfect Beta for our pup.”
“Pup..? Are you crazy? We just meet him, and well...”
“Well, what?”
“We are finally free. I don’t want to be under the thumb of another Alpha. You and I know Sandra is strong enough to not need to hide. She is here for me. Not anyone else.”
“Your point? It means that Blaze and Adam care for us and want us safe.”
“My point, is that I just got free. I want a life outside of packs, like we talked.”
“We don’t have to now. We have our mate. He wants us. So why leave?”
“Because. I can’t do this, Ember. I am weak, ugly, and broken. And he is an alpha who needs a strong, Pretty, and put together Luna. And that is not me.”
“We can be. We can ask Nicca and Sandra to train us.”
“No. Ember, I want to be free.”
“Please give him a chance.”
“Ill think about it.” I finally tell her. I watch everyone as they all react calmly. Not one person is worried or shows it. A woman walks over to me
“Hi Luna, I am Female Beta Jenny. I saw you talking to Luke earlier. I hope he was not bugging you?”
“No…No H..He. Wa..was Sweet.” I say slowly.
“Thats good. There is noting to be worried about. Adam is the strongest Alpha I have ever met. Same with Matt. every one of the warriors is well trained. Adam will be fine. I promise.” She smiles. I just nod. I can’t tell her that is not the problem.
“It’s not? Sure? What ever you say Rosey, I am part of you. I know you are just as worried about our mates as I am.” I just roll my eyes at her. That is not the problem.
“What ever you say Rosey.”
It feels like only minutes, but more like hours. I hear Sandra declare the rouges have been captured or killed and that everyone is on their way back. She again grabs my hand. “Lets go, Adam will be outside soon. Let’s go meet them.” i can only nod.
Making our way outside. I see Adam, Nicca, Luke, and Beta Matt walking up as a few warriors drag those they captured off.
“How did it go?” Sandra ask running up and hugging Luke. I stay a little back, not wanting to interrupt. As I cast my eye’s down.
“Hello Love.” I feel a finger under my chin, causing sparks to shoot through my body. As an uncontrollable shiver runs down my spin. Looking up slowly, I see he has on a pair of shorts and no shirt. His abs are sold, but what catches my eye is the blood all over him. Causing me to freak out. Moving my hands all over to make sure that he has no wounds. “It’s okay, love, it’s not my blood.” I can’t help the breath of relief. Causing him to pull me in for a hug.
Ember purrs in my head as we breathe in his scent. Relaxing more than I realized, I needed his comfort. Or is that Ember? “Dont push your feelings on me.” I growl at her in my head.
“They are yours, not mine.” She huffs. “I am going to talk to my mate.” She turns, shoving her tail in the air. Most people think they are just a voice in our head with no form. That is a kind of true, we can also practically see them, their expressions, movements and well thoughts. We are one but two at the same time.
“Ember, how can you do that? Talk to him without the mate bond being completed?”
“He is royalty. The Grandson of our creator. Of course, we can talk before the bond is completed.”
“And how do you know all of this?”
“Blaze told me. Now I am going to spend time with him.” She shuts me out after that.
I slowly pull away from him. He does not let me get far.
Turning to his dad and Matt. he goes to say something as someone comes running up to us.
“Alpha, the Lunas’ parents are gone. They killed guards and had help to get out.”
Adam looks at the young man like he is ready to kill. Before anyone can say anything, he is moving to the area the man came form. Dragging me behind him. I am not even sure he knows he still has me by the hand.
Once we reach what I am guessing is the dungeon, what I smell can only be described as death and blood. So much blood. I can’t stop myself from gagging. Finally, causing Adam to turn and look at me.
“Rose I need you to stay here, I don’t want you to see whatever is down there, ok?” I nod my head threw bated breath. Trying not to throw everything in my stomach up.
“Ill stay with her,” I hear Jenny say.
“So Will I.” I hear Nicca announce. “We will take her back to the pack house. You can fill us in when you find out what is happening.
I let Nicca drag me back to the house. Just as what is happening catches up with me. They escaped? How? Are they going to come for me? Just then, a thought comes to me. The attack. Why attack this pack.. I was listening when everyone was talking in the bunker. No one is brave enough to attack this pack. But the one time they do is the one time my parents are prisoners and have now escaped.
All of a sudden, my vision starts to cloud, my legs begin to shake. I hear Nicca Screaming but can’t make out her words. All I can see is my parents hurting me. What if they are coming for me?? Could they be hiding in the pack house?” Just then, I hear a voice. “It’s okay Luna, just breath.” As a sharp poke in the arm registers.
Followed by darkness. Then a bright light shines in my eye’s.
“Hello child,” I hear the most angelic voice. Sitting up, I look around.
Starting to panic when I see nothing but white. I let out a small whimper. “Ember?” I call
“She can’t hear you right now. Rosey.” I turn to see the most striking woman, tall, silver hair down to her knees, eyes so silver they look like mercery pools. I can’t help but want to stare. They are that striking.
“Thank you. I have always loved them. They used to be a dark blue, almost black, as the night its self. It was not until I shifted with Eliza the first time that they and my hair changed.” My mouth drops. Can she read minds?
“Yes.”
“Ex..excuse me? Wh….o” She stops me.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to speak out loud if you don’t want to. Now let me introduce myself. I am Selene, daughter of Gia, Mother of Wolves, vampires, Fay, Shifters in general. And so on. The Mother of One Luckus, Mother in Law to Sandra, and Grandmother of Adam and Nicca.” I can’t help but step back. I know she mated us, but does she think I am not good enough and I am here so that she can break the bon….”
“Stop. Never ever think you are not good enough for him, I chose you to be his Queen, even if my stubborn grandson refuses to take the crown and the mantle, I chose you for who you are, you and Adam will have a daughter who will bring fourth my Heir, the one from Prophecy. Your DNA is so much more than you know right now.” I can’t help but wonder if she has the wrong person. I have been abused and hurt over and over again. I am broken.
“You are not broken little one, you just have some cracks that need to be mended. Give Him a chance. It’s time to go back now.” With a sad smile. With that, she waves as everything fades to black again.
