The Luna's Secret

Chapter 19

Abby

"Are you nuts? We can not kill her. If we do that, The boss will kill us as well. She will have our heads handed to her on a gold platter if we do something to her. They want her pretty and clean."

"But she is already beaten badly. Won't that do anything to the money we have to get paid?"

"Nah. Her wolf will have healed her by the time they will have to be moved. Don't worry."

Pretty and clean. What the f**k are they talking about?

"Do you think this b***h will keep us alive when she wakes up? She is an Alpha!! She can easily shift into her wolf and tear us to pieces if she wanted to." I hear a few muffled voices outside as I try to open my eyes.

"She told us she will be here in a few hours. I'm sure the precious Luna won't wake up anytime time soon though. I mean, just look at her, she is out like a light, Whatever was in that injection seemed to do it's job."

I lay still, hearing the sound of steel unlocking and opening up with a loud creak. My first thought went to a shipping container; working the cases that I did, some sounds have been engraved into my brain.

"See. She is still out. We can't ship them now anyway. Once they realize that the Luna is missing, search teams will be all over the place looking for her. We can't risk it now; not with so many girls."

My body is stiff and sore, and I can barely open my eyes as the pain in them rises by the minute.

My mind goes back as I try to figure out what happened and how the f**k I got here; wherever the f**k here is.

We had the ceremony for us. We did the pack run and then we went back to the packhouse to dance and afterwards we changed to comfortable clothing.

I remember it was really late when we went to get food. I went to the bathroom before I started eating and left Arkyn at the table.

Oh goddess. Arkyn.

Is he okay? What happened to him? Where is he?

I got attacked in the bathroom by someone. My mind hits a blank at the who.

I fell down, and everything went black. I don't remember anything after that.

My eyes burn as I try to take in the dark surroundings.

I feel a mattress underneath me, but I can't see much as the room is dark. I can make out faint outlines of something across me, but I'm struggling to adjust.

Storm?

Nothing

Storm, can you hear me?

Again, nothing. I can feel her presence, but it is like she is sleeping and can't wake up to my command.

Please, Storm. I need you to wake up.

Silence. All I am getting is f*****g silence.

Please. I need you now more then ever.

"Don't go into a panic you f*****g i***t. Whatever the boss gave us will knock her out for a few hours atleast and she also said that it will knock out her wolf too. Stole whatever it was from a hospital or doctor or some s**t, so we don't have to worry about that." This voice was different from the other man. I can make out atleast two distinct voices from outside.

My hearing is getting better as I can make out muffled sounds around me. I can hear a few things like the ocean, and the sound of someone's voice bounded by tape or a sock.

"Why is her price so high anyway?" I hear one ask.

"She is the daughter of the Alpha of the Frost Pack. She will bring in a lot more money in daily than the other girls in the house because she is an Alpha herself, maybe even get the highest bid at the auction, depending on what the boss decides. Everyone wanted her to be their mate, but no, she got mated to that asshole Arkyn, the most hated underworld hunter.

Just knowing he will feel her pain will be good enough suffering for all of us." The one guy answered angrily.

They want to sell me? The f**k they will!!

I lay as still as possible hoping they will leave that I can figure my way out of here. I am hoping that I still can mind link someone, since Storm still isn't awake. I need to clear my mind first as my head is pounding with the pain of being hit, probably by these assholes. I also remember hitting my on the bathroom counter in our room

"Since she will be out for a few hours, let's go get some shut eye. I am tired as hell and she won't wake up for a few hours anyway.

I will wake you up later when the b***h calls."

Fuck. Finally. I wait a few minutes till I hear the footsteps in the distance.

These assholes forgot to tie my hands with cuffs. Instead they used a flimsy rope that would be able to hold down a human. Whoever they are working forgot to tell them about the silver, or they just didn't think I would wake up so early. I can feel my power is drained, but I will still be able to break this.

With a simple twist of my wrists, the rope breaks with a soft snap.

My bruised eyes finally adjust to the darkness around me.

The first thing I see is a few girls a few feet away from me, by the looks of them they don't seem much older than me. Clothes dirty and ripped open. Some of them has multiple scars on their arms, face and legs, the one in front of me has a scar on her cheek that still has dried blood on it, and dirty blonde hair; there were tears in her eyes, same as the other girls.

I can see that they have been crying for days, bound and gagged. I can only imagine what they went through. The pain and sadness in their eyes tell me a lot.

Tearing the rope that was bound to my feet, I inch closer to them so that I can talk as softly as possible,

"I am going to remove this gag from your mouths and the rope that bounds your hands one by one, but you have to promise me that you won't scream. We can't draw attention to ourself. Do you understand?"

All their eyes light up with a little hope, seeing that someone is here to save them. They all look at each other and nod their heads.

I carefully untie every rope in sight with what strength I have left. I can feel Storm is trying to heal me, but with her still unconscious, it is proving very difficult for my healing capabilities to kick into full gear.

Come on Storm. I know you are in there. Don't be a difficult wolf now, you b***h.

I am met with silence once again. f**k. Turning my attention back to the girls, I am relieved to see that everyone has smiles and their faces. It was a different and yet pleasant view from what I had a few minutes ago.

"Hey, I'm Abigail. What are your names?" My voice is soft as not to scare them. The first girl I removed the gag from spoke up. "I am Tiana. These are my friends; Leah, Alexa, Xana, Lainey, and Mia." She answered me, pointing to each girl as she stated their names.

"Those are beautiful names girls. I wish we could have met under better circumstances, but we are here now and I will help you. Now tell me how did you get here and how old are you?"

"We are all seventeen. We don't how exactly how we got here, but I remember we were walking home from a a sporting event that was at our school.Our homes weren't that far and we figured we will walk. I can't remember much from the walk home. Just that it was dark and late." Tiana spoke for the group. She grew quiet as if she wasn't telling me something.

I was surprised when Mia spoke up. "We know we shouldn't have, but we all had some alcohol to drink. It was beer if I remember correctly. I know we are underage but our parents weren't there and we thought it would be fine. We got a few beers to drink on our way home."

Now I understand what was going on. They were drugged.

"Look, I won't judge you or scold you since I was and underage drinker myself" They giggled softly at my confession, "and I am not your parents, but I think I know what happened. Do you remeber if the beer was open or closed when you went to get some to walk home?" They all were silent for a few minutes thinking about the question.

Alexa talked first. "They were open. I remember because the cheerleaders gave them to us. They were already open by the time I went to go get them."

"And how long ago was that? Can you remember?" I keep asking questions to keep them talking while untying the rest of the ropes and helping each girl stand up to regain balance and feeling in their legs. I give each girl a hug as the smiles spreads across their faces and mouthing a silent Thank You to me. I nod at them while listening to the Tiana and her group of friends.

"It was Thursday evening. They gave us a long weekend off from school because of the events going on at the stadium."

"Girls, it is either Saturday or Sunday now. I was taken on Saturday evening, but it was late and I don't know how many hours has passed since I was brought here. "Does anyone have a watch?"

All the girls look at their wrists but it was empty. "I had one, but they must have stolen it from me." One of the unknown girls looked at me, touching her now empty wrist.

"Anyone else missing jewelery?" I feel around my neck and notice the necklace i received from Arkyn was gone, as well as my the rings that I was wearing after the pack run.

"My necklace is missing."

"Mine too.

"My ankle bracelet is gone too."

"I don't feel the diamond hair clip that was in my hair. I was wearing it to prom."

I look down and see that I am still wearing my leggings but an unknown hoodie and instead of my heels, I was barefoot.

"What about you, Abigail? Are you missing anything?" One of Tiana's friends asked me

"I am missing my clothes and my jewellery. I was wearing heals and a necklace with two A's fused together, and a few rings that I got ask gifts." I couldn't exactly say Luna rings because these girls won't understand what I meant. They were all human by the scent of them.

"Let's see if I can get us out of here. Let's be quiet alright? Don't make any noise and remove any shoes or anything that can make noise. You can run faster without shoes anyway."

Kat?

Arkyn?

Dante?

Can any of you hear me? I need your help as soon as possible.

I was met with silence as my connection to them felt weak. My mind link should be strong as the Luna, but I am guessing this has to do with the distance and my wolf's presence not being fully awakened.

Removing my hoodie, I wrap it aroud the silver lock on the inside. It won't budge as I try to unlock it, but then again this would have been easier to do with my hands. I can't risk it in front of humans though. The silver wil burn my hands and without my healing capabilities, that would be difficult to explain.

"Hey. What is that mark on your neck?" Leah's eyes perk up in confusion as she stares at my neck. Her words draw the girls attention to the left side of my neck where Arkyn's mark lay.

"It's a tattoo, but that is not imprtant right now. Lets focus on getting out of here. Come help me push against these doors."

We all form a line on the doors, putting our hands in front of us.

I grab onto whatever I can in the darkness, but the door is sealed shut from the outside.

"When I say three, we push. I know we don't have a lot of energy right now, but this is the only way we can go. Okay?"

Everyone nods at me and wait for my count.

"One

Two

Three

Push!!"

As we worked together to push the doors open, I felt Storm stir awake slowly, something causing her to wake up.

She takes a breath and as she did, I felt the wind being knocked out of lungs. My jaw clenches as the feeling of a match being sparked inside my heart lights up.

Pain seared through my body as my vision began to glow blue without warning. It felt like I was being burned alive from the inside out as the fire spread through my veins. I fell on my back, unable to get a grasp on reality as I screamed out in pain, clawing at my body for the fire.

All the girls rushed to help me as I slip into a dark oblivion, darkness consuming me.

Arkyn

"Yeah we are at the shipping containers. We tried the basements of that apartment buildings but no luck, only a few human scents that brought us here on a piece of tshirt that looks like it belongs to a young girl. Bring your team Luca. The rest can go home after what they have encountered. Yea we are sure. If we have no luck here, we will have to continue our search alone and send you guys to rest"

I listen to Kat talk to their head warrior and trainer, Luca on the phone. We were currently at Port of Cork or something like that. I think thats the name as Kat told me. At the basement in one of the apartment buildings we picked up on a few human scents as well that led us here.

I was starting to get worried as time was ticking and Chaos as well as I were getting very restless while not in contact with our mate. We tried to link her but got no response,

"So Luca is on their way here. They are running in wolf form so should only be a few minutes.

"Did they find anything?" Dante looked at her wating for answer.

"They encountered a few abnormally large rogues that were rather quite difficult to put down. Some of the the teams encountered vampires and witches as well. Whatever is going on here, is big." She told us taking a sip of water.

We were standing around just waiting for Luca and his team when I felt like a knife went through my heart.

"f**k!!!" I scream as I grabbed onto Dante's shoulder as I doubled over in pain.

"Arkyn!! What's wrong??" Kat rushed over to me to and fell to her knees to grab me just as my legs gave in underneath me, causing me to fall on my knees. Dante grabbed onto me as I fell. I screamed as fire went through my body, my lungs desperately in need of oxygen. It felt like fire and dry ice was having a fight in my heart, spreading in my veins.

My vision turns pure white as the fire burns fast, blocking my vision from the world.

"I don't know. My body... It's burning.... Can't breath...." I manage to choke the words out as Chaos is howling in my head.

MATE!!!

MATE!!!

MATE!!!

"Storm", My two friends said at the same time, realizing something I don't.

I hear Storm howl as the life is sucked out of me.
