Unexpected Come Back Of The Luna

Chapter 5

"You're free to go," an officer announced as the cell gate flew open. I got up from the little corner that I had found warmth and made my way out of the tiny cell.

All of my belongings that had previously been taken away from me were returned and I was finally able to leave the prison.

I almost went blind on stepping outside, it was the first time I was seeing the sun after two weeks. The tiny window in the cell did not help in reflecting the sun's rays.

I breathed in the fresh air of the outside world after such a long time.

I began to contemplate going back home but on remembering what happened the last time I was there, I decided against it. Instead, I was going to see my parents.

I was going to tell them everything Derek had done to me. From the miscarriage, to him throwing me in jail for his mistress.

I had to walk all the way to my parent's house since I had no money for a cab.

It took me nearly an hour, but finally, I was standing in front of my parents' house.

Standing in front of the same house where I was tortured and bullied for years sent shivers down my spine.

I slowly walked up to the door and placed a gentle knock on it. I held my breath in anticipation as I waited for an answer.

I began to rethink telling my parents about Derek, they never sided with me on anything in the past so what was the possibility that they would support me now?

I realized I was about to make a big mistake and turned to leave. Just then, the door flew open, and I turned to see Mason standing at the entrance.

He looked shocked to see me there but the shock on his face soon disappeared and was replaced with an angry look.

"What are you doing here?" He growled angrily at me causing me to shrink back in fear. "I'm here to see mum and dad" I replied trying not to cower.

He eyed me from head to toe and opened the door wider to let me in. I didn't know whether it was safe to go in, if I had learnt anything in the past, it was to never trust Mason.

I walked in with caution ready to defend myself from any attack.

"They're in their room upstairs"? He said and went out of the house, slamming the door behind him.

A feeling of relief washed over me now that Mason was gone. I made my way to my parent's room.

The bedroom door was wide open, so I could just let myself in, but as I was about to go in, I suddenly heard my name mentioned. My parents were talking about me

I quickly hid by the door frame and listened in on their conversation.

"I heard she was thrown into prison by Alpha Derek" my mum said

"So you think he found out?" My dad asked, and his voice was laced with fear. "He couldn't have, no one knows apart from Mason and us," my mum assured.

I began to wonder why they were so scared of Derek finding out. "Then why else would he throw her in prison?" My dad asked

"We should prepare to flee" he added, whatever their secret was, it was a really big one.

"Calm down honey, we're probably just overthinking it," Mum replied.

"But what if we aren't, this is the reason I didn't want to take her from the forest, we'll be killed if Derek finds out we abducted a human" My dad cried.

I almost let out a gasp on hearing that, what did he mean?

"She's not full human, she has a wolf scent" my mum reminded me, "but she can't shift, you know it was only a matter of time before people figured it out especially since she's the Alpha's mate" my dad said.

I stood at the door dumbfounded by what I was hearing, I was human?

"What did you expect me to do Earl? Leave the poor baby alone in the forest!" Mum snapped angrily, " you could have followed my advice and taken her to the human world, we found her a few meters to the human world after all " dad fired back.

At that point I was convinced that I had heard enough, so I ran away from there before I could hear anything else.

It all made sense now, the reason I never seemed to fit in, the reason everyone in my family treated me like trash, it was because I wasn't one of them. I wasn't a werewolf like the rest of them.

I ran out of the house bumping into Mason, "Are you blind?" He snapped, I didn't have time for him, I needed to get out of there.

I ignored him and continued running. I ran as fast as my legs could carry and fell a couple of times but got back on my feet each time.

Flashbacks of my classmates taunts and Jason's torture played in my mind, and I realized I was never one of them.

I stopped in front of the forest that led to the human world, the forest where I was supposedly found and a thought struck me.

If I couldn't fit in with the werewolves, maybe I would fit in with the humans. I stared at the forest for a while, contemplating whether to go in or not.

After giving it some thought, I made up my mind. My life and marriage was already ruined after all. I had nothing here, so why not leave?

I took one last glance at the pack and tried mind-linking Daphne to tell her goodbye, but I was too weak to do that.

And with that, I walked into the forest ready for my new life.
