Luna's Past

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

I am still worried about my dream, the things he did to me felt so real. I could still feel his hands on my body, I turned the water on extra hot hoping that would make this go away, and it did for the most part. I am nervous about going back to my apartment, what if I don’t want to come back here? I know I can find a way to stay there, but I don’t know if Darius is going to allow it. Even though he said he would let me leave if I can handle moving around I am doing just fine.

When I am finished getting dressed, I head to Darius’ office, I don’t know if there is going to be anything that happens today, but I can tell he is tense as he is standing by the window when I walk inside.

“Are you ready to go?” Daniel asked.

“Yes,” I said as Darius turned to face us. “Are you?” I asked him.

“Yes like I told you in your room, we’re taking extra security in case the rogue king wants to try something, I felt this intense anger that is why I came to your room to make sure you were alright,” he said coming closer to me. “You sure you don’t want us to go and get the stuff for you?”

“Yes, I need to make sure things are still standing in my apartment, if you said this rogue king knows about me, he’s most likely been to my apartment, I hope he didn’t steal anything or destroy it.” I sighed. “Even though you want me to stay here, what if I want to stay there?”

“I don’t think it's wise for you to stay there since the rogue king is still around.” he sighed. “But I do want you to see you are not a prisoner with us.”

“So I can stay if I want.”

“Yes.” he sighed. “But I hope you realize the rogue king will do this all over again, and this time I don’t think he is going to just leave you there unharmed, yes he abused you but he is going to make you suffer, and hope I don’t find you before you die.”

I didn’t say anything, I know he is worried about this guy coming after me again, but what if he doesn’t? What if that was something he wanted to get at Darius about and it failed because I am not whoever he said I was?

“I just want to go to my apartment and see how I feel,” I said looking at Daniel. “But if I decide to stay you don’t have to worry about me, I will be fine.”

When he didn’t say anything, I knew he was a little upset with me. I know I agreed to stay here, but I don’t know if I can keep that promise since I will be in my own home, and it's not going to be easy to leave knowing I won't be seeing it again.

“Come let's go and get your stuff, and if you decide to stay then I will leave you there, but you have to promise you cannot tell anyone about us,” Darius said. “Please.”

“No one would believe me anyway.” I sighed. “But fine I won't tell them about you being shapeshifters.”

“Alright let's go,” he said as I followed him out of the office and then outside. Daniel opened the door for me, and I got in, he slid in next to me. I didn’t say a word the entire ride; I was nervous as hell. Part of me felt weird as we got closer to my apartment; it was almost the same feeling I had in the dream.

I didn’t belong anymore.

When the car stopped, Daniel was out before everyone else. He helped me out of the car, and then we were joined by two other men I didn’t know them but I assumed they were the security, Daniel told them things to do and they went away.

“Come,” Darius said leading me into the building. “Which one is yours?”

“This one,” I said pushing open the door the place was trashed, I don’t know who would do this but they practically destroyed everything. “Well, I guess this means I am not staying.” I sighed.

“I don’t think it's wise, we don’t know if this happened after you were taken, or after you were found,” Darius said. “Go and get what you can, I am going to ensure no one is here,” he said looking at Daniel and then me. “Stay here for a moment,” he said before he disappeared in the hallway and into one of the rooms I rarely used. “It's clear, go ahead,” he said opening the last door. “He didn’t touch your room so that is good.”

Part of me wanted to know why he did this to my life. I didn’t know Darius before waking up in his hospital, but this rogue king thought I was something more. He messed everything up and I don’t know what I am going to do. I don’t want to leave the city, but it seems this isnt going to work out. I don’t know if he would come back to the apartment, but the dream told me he was watching and waiting for me to make that choice.

I grabbed my bag and put the clothes I needed and then grabbed my phone charger and computer, I hope I am not making a mistake and letting Darius handle this. I know the police would take this seriously.

Walking out to the living room, Darius wasn't there but Daniel was. “Ready to go?” he asked taking my bag from me. “Darius is just outside.”

“Everything alright?”

“Yes.” he smiled. “Come on let's get back to the pack house, I know your anxiety level is high, I can tell, and don’t like seeing you stressed.”

“I am fine Daniel.” I half smiled. “This is just a lot harder than it should be, this shouldn’t have never happened.”

“I agree, come on let's go,” he said guiding me outside before I found Darius with the two security people he brought with us. “She's done.”

“Good,” Darius said opening the back door for me. “I know you don’t want to leave, but at least give me some time to figure out how I am going to keep you safe.”

“Alright,” I said before I got inside.

I don’t know what he can do to keep me safe other than taking me back to his house and keeping these people all around us. I never thought I would need protection from anyone, and this is all icing on the cake when it comes to not even knowing why this rogue targeted me, thinking I meant something to Darius.

I didn’t say anything the entire ride, Darius took my bags up to my room and I followed Daniel to Darius’ office. I hope they aren't going to try to convince me this is the best thing for me. I hope things calm down and my life can become what it should be.

“You alright?” Daniel asked bringing me out of my thoughts.

“Yeah, for the most part, I am still confused by all of this, but I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise. When Darius finds this guy and asks him why he feels I belong to him then we can get the answers we both need, I am just really confused.”

“So were we,” Darius said coming into the room and closing the door. “I know you don’t think you are supposed to be here with me, but as the events play out it's making it harder to deny we belong together.”

“I am still confused how do you know we belong?” I asked.

“Well,” he said coming around the desk and slowly moving his hand to mine, when our fingers touched I felt something, and I pulled my hand back. “What kind of magic is that?”

“Anna it's not magic, it's our mate bond. You will get your wolf, and your wolf is my wolf’s mate, so we are connected even deeper,” he said. “I know you are worried this isnt going to work out, but we’re together because our souls are connected, and have been since we were created,” he said looking at Daniel. “Daniel has a mate, she had the same doubts because she is human, but she accepted this.”

“But I was almost killed because of this, I didn’t ask for any of this. I don’t want to feel like a prisoner but I am, I cannot leave here without worrying about some crazy killer out there!” I snapped. “I didn’t want to come back,” I said storming out of there.
