KARIELLE
I hear the Luna screaming 2 floors up, I know she recognized her precious box missing, That's the only explanation for the anger I hear in her tone, and the desperation in her voice. I finally have some kind of payback, and I'm loving every second of it. Knowing we took something she obviously feels is important to her, maybe she can feel a little bit of my pain from all of what she's caused. It doesn't feel good to know someone took something from you, and not know how important it is to them, until you know it's gone. I only have a short window of victory, when footsteps come storming down here. I move my chains to the side as best as I can, and lay here in pain, not that I'm pretending anymore because I've been down here for hours. I feel sluggish and weak. My wrists are starting to get rub marks, and my ankles are feeling it too. It burns, and feels like my skin is going raw. Right as I get in position, I feel the sting of the blow that hit the side of my face, and the force of it bounced my head against the cold concrete floor. "You rotten b***h! Do you know what you did? what that was? That was my mother's ashes you sick twisted dog!" The Luna screams at me, and proceeds to pull my chains and drag me across the floor. "Oh when I get done with you, you're gonna wish you still had fingers to take what isn't yours!" She starts to unlock the chains from around my wrists and ankles, I start to tremble at first, and realize I'm gonna get beaten anyways, so might as well take Hera's advice to stand up for myself. "Take what's not mine? Do you know what you've done to me, LUNA. Do you even know what a Luna is?! Luna's are a mother to their pack, and you are a disgrace to the name!" I said Luna in a mocking tone, because she wishes she could ever measure up to what a real Luna should be. "You're gonna pay for that you slut!" I feel the first jab of the knife into my hand from the blade she pulled out of her boot, and I scream, the blood starts running from my hand onto the floor. I can't move, not after being restrained down here for so long, all I can do is take it until it's over. She raises her hand to stab at me again "What the f**k are you doing Margaret! Get away from her right this instant" Alpha Christian barges in the room with Emile right behind him. He grabs ahold of his mate as she wrestles him for the knife, she's not letting him get it from her so easily. They both fall to the floor in a heap, with Margaret holding on to her blade for dear life. "Let go of me you ignorant Alpha, I'm only doing what should have already been done long ago!" Margaret yells at her husband, still struggling to get free with the blade in hand. Christian tries to restrain her, and the knife plunges into his arm. "Dad!" Emile runs over to help his father, blood spewing onto the cement. "Don't worry about me son, look!" Christian points his finger in the other direction. Emile turns around just in time to see his mother get up and raise the silver blade with both of her hands to take the final swing straight to Karielle's chest. "Nooo!" He tackles his mother to the ground just before she reaches Kari, and she drops the knife from her grip. It bounces a few feet away while Karielle, letting go of her wound, reaches for it and throws it across the room, out of reach from Luna. Emile turns his mother over on her stomach, grips onto her wrists twisting them behind her back, and pushes his knee into the middle of her shoulders. He had her restrained at last, and stood her upright. Alpha Christian stepped forward "This is it Margaret, I've had enough of you. I told you if I caught you abusing this girl again or going against my wishes, I would end you myself, but that didn't stop you, did it? I can no longer put up with your transgressions, My love. This is over." While holding his arm to stop the bleeding, he proceeds with something even I couldn't have imagined. "I, Alpha Christian Dober, Reject you Margaret Lousy as my Goddess chosen mate." With those words, Emile and I both gasped. Luna Margaret dropped to the floor, howling in pain. Once she gathered herself, a cloud of white smoke started to engulf her "You're gonna wish you didn't do this Christian, all you had to do was stick by my side, but no, you choose this abomination over the love of your life. I loved you, and I thought you loved me, but apparently that isn't the case. By the way, those werent my mother's ashes, and soon enough you will find out. You'll pay the consequences, all of you! So be it written with my name" And with that, she was gone.
"f**k, dad, what do we do now?!" Emile cries, worried for their safety. "Emile, we'll deal with her later. For now, you need to get me and Karielle to the pack hospital."
EMILE
I mindlink our pack doctor to inform him we're on the way, followed by my father's beta Hunter. He rushes down here with two of our warriors in tow. We sprint through the packhouse and straight through our double doors that lead to the grounds. My father looks pale, as he's lost a bit of blood from the gaping wound on his forearm, Karielle doesn't seem phased. However I know she's used to things like this happening to her, and i bow my head in shame that I couldn't have prevented this before it started.
I never in a million years expected my father to reject his own mate, I'm still in shock from it, but one thing I can do is trust the reasoning behind my father's actions. He may have let my mother slide a few times, but when you've had enough, there is no saving grace. We arrive to to the emergency unit, and Dr. Morris runs to the first room and holds the door open while Hunter lays my father down on the first bed. One of the warriors gently laid Karielle on the one right beside it, and Dr. Morris gets to work on my father while 2 of the nurses come dashing in to help, one going straight to Kari and the other assisting with my father. "What happened, Emile?" Dr. Morris looks to me, and I refuse to answer. I'll let my father explain that one. "We'd rather not discuss it right now, Dr." I replied in a blank tone, using my alpha aura against him so he accepts I'm not going to get into it all right now. Dr. Morris finishes up with my dad, gauze bandages wrapped around his arm tightly to stop the bleeding, Meanwhile one of the nurses brings in two of those I.V machines "Alright you two, we need to get you some fluids going to help with hydration and to speed your healing, I'll also order some diphenhydrate to help you get some rest." The nurse wheels the I.V. cart toward my father and gets the tube connected in his other forearm, the one that didn't have a hole in it thanks to my psycho of a mother. Next she does the same with Karielle, and I just sit in the guest chair between their beds. Shortly after, they're both completely out of it. I lay my head back and stare at the ceiling, thinking of what the future holds. I let my eyes close and drift me off to sleep. It's been one hell of a long night.
