Chapter 9: Facing unwanting realities

*Warning - Violent scenes*

I sat there on the bed, waiting for the nurse to bring me my breakfast. Alexander has thankfully not come by this morning. I needed to have some time to myself. I needed to figure everything out on my own while I still could. I knew Alexander would probably give me shelter after I rejected him ... but the question was for how long. I didn't know if I was ready to be his mate. My bothers and my pack would certainly declare war on him for taking me away just like that. So many scenarios were running through my mind. A knock on the door brought me back to reality.

The nurse walked in with a tray of food and settled it down right beside me. She smiled as she took some vitals before scribbling them down in my chart. Once satisfied that I was doing alright, she looked up at me with a big smile on her face. "Looks like you might even be able to go home today! However, there are some visitors outside, waiting. Would you mind if they come on in?" the nurse asked. I wasn't really in the mood for visitors. I just sighed and nodded my head. "I will go and get them! Remember to have breakfast. I'm sure that the doctor would not discharge you on an empty stomach!" the nurse said with a smile before leaving the room.

My entire body went cold as I saw who my visitors were. I tried to scurry for the call button. I didn't want to be alone in the room with them. They would most definitely hurt me. Marco ran over to stop me right in the act before Jesse and Cole came to stand right beside me. "Look, we're sorry okay! Things got way too out of hand back at the Alphas ceremony. But, you need not worry anymore, little sister, we are here to take you back home. We can thank Alpha Alexander a little bit later on!" Jesse said before starting to switch off some of the machines and tried to take the IV out of my arm. I tried to yell, I tried to scream for someone to come and help me, but nothing came out.

My brothers just laughed at my failed attempt to call for help. They knew they had me cornered and right where they wanted me. "Awww, tried to call for help? Too bad you are pathetic!" Marco said as he punched me in the ribs, making me almost fold over in pain. I waited for the second painful blow to come. I knew that they never stopped right after the first one. However, all I heard were growls. I didn't want to open my eyes. My brothers likely brought reinforcements to take me home.

"Get your f*****g assess off of my packlands! You are never to set foot here ever again without a formal invitation. I will kill you for his!" I heard Alexander's growl. I clutched to the bedsheets, feeling my cheeks get soaked in my tears.

"Luna? Are you alright?!" I heard someone say. I tried to fight him off. I didn't want anyone to touch me. I wanted everyone to leave me alone! Why couldn't my brothers have just finished me off that night?! There will never be an end to this. "Hey! Open your eyes, look at me!" the person demanded, taking both my hands in his, trying to get me to lay still. In the background, I could still hear a lot of fighting and ruckus coming from my brothers and Alexander. I slowly opened my eyes to see Dermont in front of me, trying to get me to calm down. I just furiously shook my head.

"Focus on me, Luna. Focus. They are going to be taken away. You are safe. Calm down" Dermont kept on repeating. But ... I knew this wasn't over. If only, it was far from over. I kept on crying, wanting to get away from everyone. I pulled myself out of his grip and rolled over on my side, wanting to get off on the other side of the bed. For a few seconds, I didn't manage to even think straight as I got off the bed, having my legs buckle below me.

I fell to the ground and thankfully, the darkness consumed me, taking me away from this nightmare.
