Painful Memories
“Ahhhhh,” I yelled and woke with a start as I felt the Ice Cold water suddenly hit my skin. “What is going?”I thought to myself I tried to move my arms but they were bound by silver chains. Looking around I noticed I was in the damp cold pack dungeons…
“Reign? Reign? What is going on?” I said to my wolf but no answer.
“There is no use trying to communicate with her, you are bound in silver chains,” came the voice of my husband, my mate.
“Finn, my love? What is the meaning of this? Why am I in the dungeons, in chains?” I croaked out.
Out of the shadows he strode forward with so much anger and slapped me with such a force that my head flew back and hit the wall, “Don’t you dare call me that! I am not your love. You are not my mate, you are not the woman I marked and mated. You are the woman who killed my parents in cold blood.”
“Wh-What? I would never! Finnick, are you deranged? Surely you are playing..What is going on?,” I said with tears streaming down my face. The shock of the slap setting in. This was not my husband, this was not the kind hearted, ever loving Alpha of the Dusty Moon Pack, strongest in the South. This was not my mate, who had always Shown me only love and protection. Never once in our 13
years together had he hit me, or even look upon me with disgust the way he was at this time.
“Do not play stupid Mira. You were found with the knife in your hands soaked in their blood, hunched over their bodies. Their necks slit open, while you only had claw marks from my mother left as she fought for her life. And to make things worse, we captured 2 rouges in our territory claiming to be loyal to the Luna and here at her request to kill the Alpha Family-“He spat out at me.
I gasped out loud, “ I would never harm the previous Alpha and Luna. I would never harm them, I loved them as if they were my own parents. I would never harm my own family, you and our children? Are you insane?”- I yelled with so much ferocity and anger at my mate, my love…I couldn’t believe he would think that.
“Where are my children? Where are Naomi and Noah? Let me see them now!” I yelled as I struggled against the chains.
He looked at me with such hate the saying if looks cold kill, surely I’d be dead by now with how he stared at me & said “I wish I could believe you but the evidence the rogues provided and with you being found with my..my parents, I can not and will not allow you to see them.”
“Evidence? What could they have given you for you to believe a pair of rogues over me your mate, wife and Luna?”
Before he could respond the sound of feet hitting the floor and the dungeon doors opening and slamming shut. Looking around I realized the guards were gone, it was just myself and Finnick.
My twins Noah and Naomi ran in yelling, “FATHER, FATHER! Come quick! We are being attacked by rogues!,”
“ROGUES!!!!” He roared so loud before looking at me, “ I hope this was worth your life and death Mira you traitorous bi****.He shifted midair and took off.
Shock and Anger began to cloud my eyes as the words registered in my mind. I looked to my kids and said “let me go now, I don’t know what is going on but I would never conspire against you two or your father or this pack.”
Instead of pity or being willing to help me, my son looked at me with such disgust and hate while my daughter looked away and down.
The eldest of the two Noah spoke so cold to and stated “ You are not our mother and Luna. We do not recognize you as such, in fact we renounce ever knowing you.”
“Noah, tell me what’s going on? Please son!” I begged with tears streaming down my face
Instead of answering he dragged Naomi away, “Come Mimi, we need to go to
the bunkers until a father links us that we are safe..”
Mimi looked at me with such sadness and pain I could feel her heart breaking and she allowed him to drag her away. Never once saying anything to me…
I sat there, in the cold, damp dungeon waiting for something, anything a sign or someone to come and make this all go away. I was alone and I couldn’t figure out what happened the day before. I couldn’t remember. Reign could not come forward until the silver was gone and even then I’d be too weak for awhile. While lost in my thoughts and heartbreak I didn’t realize the silent presence of another Arrive until I heard her voice.
“Luna? Luna we have to hurry before they come back.” Came the timid voice of Kari an omega servant of mine who was actually more like a mother to me. Kari raised me and took care of me when I was found at the borders 31 years ago.
I looked at her, “Kari what are you doing here? You need to leave before they hurt you and lock you up.”
“No Luna, my duty is to you. I came to
Rescue you. There is not much time, but know this. You are not safe here, you are a pawn in a much bigger game. With you dead, then we will all suffer. I swore on my life to always protect you. I have failed thus far but I will not let them kill you,” as pulled out the keys and released me.
I don’t understand Kari what do you mean? What evidence are they speaking of? How did I come to be found at the previous Alpha and Lunas death!- I whispered as she dragged me along the dungeons. She didn’t speak until we made it out. She looked around and dragged me to the forest.
“Hurry they are on the north side of the perimeter… it’s almost over., she yelled.
“Kari, KARI stop it. I will not move forward until you tell what you know.”
She stopped and looked at me with such pity, “You are being framed Luna, by someone just as powerful as you. Remember when you first shifted, I told you that you would be a target for wolves …It seems as though someone has found you.Someone forged letters with your handwriting and the Luna seal to make it appear as you were plotting the demise of your pack and family with rogues.”
How do you know this Kari?
“Remember what I told you when you first shifted, I am your guardian sworn to protect you since birth until your 35th birthday and your powers manifest..remember all will be revealed in time she stated with such Steel in her voice.
“Powers?” Yeah right…I snorted. But looking at her face I knew she was not lying.
“Tell me—“ I started to say before I heard
The alarms go off that a prisoner has escaped.
“There is no time, Luna. Shift and run. Take this bag, it has everything you need to survive until your 35th birthday. Reign should be awake by now”!
“But Kari come with me?”
“No I have stay and protect the Andrew Legacy, wait for a message from me.. I will tell you when it’s time…”and next thing I knew she shoved me over the pack border and took off running in the opposite direction.
I looked back and spoke “Reign? Are you there?”
“Yes..Mira I am..” she whispered so softly.
“Let’s go…” and we shifted…
