The Blessed Luna's Saviors

Chapter 11

~Reagan

I opened my eyes and the lights were so bright they basically blinded me, so I scrunched them closed. Instantly, one of the men got up and turned them off before telling me that it was ok to open my eyes again. I hadn't been able to open my eyes without the blindfold for years and I wasn't used to the harsh light. Even in the dark I could see shadows, something I had missed while I was kept in total darkness. I could feel Amethyst but she was still sleep, the Moon Goddess had told me this would happen, so I wasn't overly concerned. The two men who were in the room with me smelled absolutely delicious and I wanted to continue to sniff them. I wanted to speak by my throat was dry, I hadn't spoken since I was seven, other than when I was with the Moon Goddess and to Amethyst in my head.

One of the men, gently helped me sit up, the other held a glass of water with a straw to my mouth. He directed me to take small sips, his voice sent tingles down my spine. It was like hot butter sliding down freshly baked bread, hot out of the oven. I finished drinking the water before speaking. I was a little nervous but I trusted the Goddess, despite the situation I was in, she had given me Amethyst and I trusted my wolf more than anything. I knew the Goddess blamed herself for my situation, but she couldn't control freewill. I didn't blame her, I blamed Ashley and Janice, and the guards who didn't help me.

"Hello, mates." I said softly, my voice a little gravely and my throat a bit sore from not being used. I could feel their eyes snap towards me, clearly unsure if I would recognize them. I wasn't afraid of the mates, they had already shown me more kindness than I had known in years, but I was a bit concerned about where I was and what was going to happen. I didn't think they had bought me, but I wasn't entirely sure, after all, I was tied to a post and despite the fact that I had been lifted off the post gently I didn't remember much else.

"Hi, we are so happy you are awake." One of the men said taking my hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze, the tingles I felt were insane and I could feel Amethyst purr in her sleep.

"Where am I?" I whispered, but knew they'd be able to hear me. The joys of werewolf hearing.

"You're at the Golden Moon Pack, I'm Alpha Aiden Stone and this is Alpha Nate Styles" the guy not holding my hand said, though he rested his hand gently on my arm.

"We're members of the Werewolf Council. A few days ago, two men came to our pack and said that there was a girl who was in trouble and needed help, at the Tree Spore Pack. Ashley had invited us to a birthday party the same day and we knew we had to get there and see what was going on and to help the girl. We're just sorry we didn't get there sooner." The other man that I now knew was named Nate said.

"When we arrived you were strung up on a pole and Ashley and Janice were whipping you. We got them stopped and our doctor took you to the hospital for treatment. We have arrested Ashley, Janice, and the men that were at the auction, along with any warriors and members of the pack who were complicit. As soon as you were stable we moved you back to our pack so you could fully heal and feel safe." Aiden picked back up the story.

"Thank you for saving me." I whispered and both gave my hand and arm a gentle squeeze.

"Of course, even if you weren't our mates, we would have saved you. We're just sorry we didn't know sooner." Nate said and I nodded. There was a soft knock at the door and a man entered. The light from the hallway flooded the room and I squeezed my eyes shut, still not used to the light. The man hurried into the room, closing the door.

"Apologies Luna. I'm Doctor Mark, I've been treating you since we found you. Do you mind if I examine you now? I'd like to see how you are healing." He said. I was a bit afraid for him to touch me, but I didn't think my mates would let him hurt me, I just wished Amethyst was awake, she'd make me feel safer.

"I'm still here, just sleeping." Amethyst whispered to me, giving me a bit of strength.

"Yes."I whispered to the man and he nodded.

"Are you in any pain?" He asked me.

"My throat is a bit sore, but that's because I haven't talked in a while. Otherwise, I feel ok." I said.

The doctor gently prodded my throat, asking me to open my mouth, he shone a light in my throat. "I'm going to ask you some questions, are you comfortable answering those?" The doctor asked me and I nodded. I was starting to feel more comfortable with the doctor but I wasn't sure what he was going to ask.

"Do you mind if we record the conversation? This way you won't have to repeat the story, we can stop anytime you want." Doctor Mark told me and I nodded.

"Would you like Aiden and Nate to be here?" The doctor asked me and I was happy that they were asking my opinion. I was so used to just being told what to do, it was nice to be asked.

"They can stay." I said, they made me calm and I knew this wasn't going to be a pleasant conversation.

"How old are you?" Doctor Mark asked after hitting record on a small record that he set on the table next to me.

"I'm twenty-two" I said.

"Do you know how long you were at Tree Spore pack and how you got there?" He asked.

"I was seven. My father and mother sent me with a warrior to go live with my Aunt, because my uncle wanted to take me away from them. But the warrior who was escorting me gave me to Janice. She locked me up in the dungeons, in a room that had no windows or lights until I was fourteen. The she tied the blindfold around my head and put me into a different cell." I told them and all three men let out growls scaring me. I pushed myself back into the pillows hoping to escape.

"We're so sorry, please don't be afraid of us." Aiden said, gently squeezing my hand, I could feel Nate squeezing my other hand and the doctor put his hand on my knee giving it a gentle squeeze.

"We're just very upset that you were held so long and no one said anything or knew." Nate said, and I calmed down. I knew they were going to hurt me, because Amethyst would have stopped them.

"Can you tell us what else was done to you while you were there? When you came in you had many broken bones, scars, bruises, injuries, some fresh, some old." Doctor Mark asked me softly.

"I was beaten regularly, whipped and injected with wolfsbane and silver. I rarely got food and when I was fed it was thrown on the floor and I was given very little water. When I moved into the other cell it was because Alpha Wilfred died, there I would be taken to their torture cell and abused whenever they wanted to punish someone. Or Ashley was in a bad mood." I told them.

"Did Alpha Wilfred partake in your abuse?" Aiden asked.

"No, only Janice, Ashley and Eric one of the guards, I never saw him, I only knew he died because I'd listen to conversations." I said.

"I am not going to lie to you, you had so much wolfsbane and silver in your system it's a miracle you survived. There is a good chance you won't have a wolf." Doctor Mark said.

"I do have a wolf. Her name is Amethyst, she's sleeping right now, but she was with me the whole time. That's the only reason I survived." I said shocking the men.
